CHAPTER 15
Disturbed souls.
Author’s point of view…
There has to be at least some space for a person to be able to breathe unfortunately, for Girard, it seems as if he was locked in a square shaped room that hardly had a steps distance around. His throat turned as dry as desert while his eyes filled up with new badge of tears. Having mixed emotions of fear, regret, anxiety and serenity going through him, he looked nowhere but her face.
On the other hand, she only smiled. A smile that said so many things yet nothing. Kiara was baffled to see him in such state. Never have she ever in her entire life thought that she will one day get to see her bully crying like that in front of her. The sight was amusing but still saddening.
The two of them stood face to face staring each other. Even not for a nano second did their eyes diverted or blinked. Such a cri
CHAPTER 16Is it the end!He sweated severely while the soft giggles of his baby boy echoed in the passageway. “Billy! My baby.” Raven busted into tears murmuring the same words over and over again. Was that even true or was he just hallucinating to hear his voice! Wasn’t he in the hospital admitted.Uhh, may be he was perfectly alright as said by his brother and was back to him!Or you can say his grandparents bought him here so that he can meet his father?There were many questions rising in his head— some good and some bad. However, he did not even think about Kiara for a moment. He was too happy to have his baby back that he completely forgot about her. He forgot that still she was unaware to that innocent secret of his life and there are chances that she might end up separating away from him!
CHAPTER 17Tired and defeated!Suddenly the entire area was blanketed with white smoke. There was no object, no tile on the ground, no mess lying around but just white smoke that spread as long as one’s eyes could see. Raven batted his eyes attempting to see what was all that about. He in fact he kneaded his together with force in order to rub off the hallucination, if it was any.Albeit, it was not!He took few steps forward roaming around in the place. There was not even any path to follow— just an empty land that ran white in the front as long as eyes could catch the glimpse of it. He slightly rubbed his hands together feeling cold.The temperature has gone down all of a sudden. He looked around albeit to find none unless, “Dadda!” He looked everywhere, in all the four directions looking to for the source of the voi
CHAPTER 18. I need go… Raven’s point of view… I was stunned. My breaths ceased as my eyes focused in the front. Was that true? Or was I just seeing things out of nowhere. I rubbed my eyes to check whether it was like the past time, my delusion. I was tired of the drive, my eyes were paining. May be I was just viewing this all like I did few hours ago for Billy. “Yeah, and you know what he is just crazy. Mark my words he will keep Raven on the edge, he is one heck of a stubborn son. You can say replica of his father but cuter and more stubborn than him!” Girard was sitting on the bench in the first row with Kiara. They were talking. I really can’t see whether the talk was firm or happening out of the heat of the moment but it was them only. “ He is really cute. Does he look the same in real? Just look at him he looks like a doll.” She said. Her voice was normal and playful. It was different that I could still sense hurt and heaviness. This was not new, I know this. I have experien
CHAPTER 19. Revelation… No one's POV…Late in the night that was howling with the chirping of night insects, Surrounded with huge long trees and a graveyard in the north, the church glistened with the lights of the ceiling and the candles. It was peaceful, anybody could meet their satisfaction. Indeed, a church is a place that is not only the house of the God but also a shelter for all those lost people who are looking for a way to go on in life.Something of the same kind was happening with Raven. He has lost his path, although it was right across his eyes just the thing was that— obstacles were too many and time too less. And after being not able to go for the path he chose he came up to the God’s house to look for some signs, some help from the almighty and see, not even few hours have gone by, and he found what he was looking for.Kiara.She softly muffled lowering her head. Her wrist was still under his solid grip. It was obvious there was no way she could struggle, fight, try
CHAPTER 20. His daughter… The night grew fascinating and windy. Their hairs flew along with the rhythm of winds. Raven smiled chastely when Kiara’s hair strands brushed over on his cheek caressing it. Uhh, it had been better if that has been her soft palm instead! He so much yearns for her to embrace him in her arms. It was irritating in the past yet as they say ‘with growing gap and dying emotions’ after some years you crave for those feelings to be felt again. And now, he yearned to feel those moments again. In fact, she desired the same. She wanted to feel him close, have him kiss her like a maniac that he was as her lover playing stupid pranks and being her partner in all the naughty crimes she committed in the college. Two heart— yearning for the same feeling sat silent with the only thought that the other one of them would not want it! They sighed lightly. Time is really cruel, it makes a person see umpteenth situations at the same time, especially when they are already surrou
CHAPTER 21. As much as he needs me, I need him… Kiara’s point of view… My breaths were stuck in my throat. I wished to breathe and keep standing to the going on situation, yet I couldn’t. His words left me speechless. I froze in my spot and eventually the air around me began to get heavier and burn my skin with increasing chills. I was sure by now my skin would have gone crimson under the decreasing temperature. Any how as I moved my head to see him with great difficulty, my heart ached reading his features. He sat like that participant of the competition who lost the match few seconds right before reaching the finish line. “Wh-at!” my voice cracked at the unexpected disclosure. So much pain! So much hurt! So much guilt! I never thought Raven was living such a difficult life. Look at him, he was young and handsome. He has not even started to enjoy his adult life as an individual and he was already trapped by obstacles and so many problems. He became an unfortunate father of two k
CHAPTER 22. His strength… He placed his hands over mine which were gripping against his hard chest firmly. His skin was burning, it was hot. “Only if you had opened the door that day, shoved few slaps on my face and threatened me to do something to yourself, I should have changed my mind.” He mewled holding on to me tight. He was not wrong, providing that if I had tried— TRIED then we could have been together. I knew it right after the moment I met him for the first time, he was moody and a vague decision maker. He often made unprofessional decisions ruining his projects that could have been a big hit. “You know throughout the journey to the airport I wished to see you. Hug you. I know I was wrong but it won’t be wrong either to say that you didn’t made any efforts to save our relationship. If I was bent on ending us, drawing us apart then you too let me do it. You knew, I was attracted to her yet you kept mum just because you thought it will change me up. Why didn’t you change me li
CHAPTER 23. Billy’s back home… A week later, There was nervousness on Raven’s face. He bit his nails whilst sitting on the chair outside the ward impatiently. “Girard! What do you think, how will she react?” he anxiously asked his brother longingly gaping over in his direction. Girard smiled, the same kind of smile he gave him during their journey till here, to the hospital. “You are over thinking brother. There's no reason in you getting so nervous now. She knows everything right! She has been here the entire week with mom, why are you bothering yourself uselessly! “ Squeezing his shoulder Girard gave him a side hug. They actually have come to the hospital to see Billy. He was going to be discharged today. The doctors were shocked and considered it more like a miracle seeing his recovery after Kiara came to see him the next day of that night and that chaos. He was weak and hardly opened his eyes. However, as she kept coming and seeing him, he got a lot better and today, he was goi
