The moment I got home, I rushed in and saw the person, I wanted to speak with so badly.
"How can you be so wicked? Mom".
Elena veered back in shock the moment she heard my voice.
"What did you just call me?" She asked as the rest of the family looked at us.
"I called you mom, have you forgotten? That very day, the same spot you killed everyone, my father, my uncle, and my nanny, the only woman that gave me love".
Taking heed of the truth, Elena gasped out in disbelief, she couldn't believe her son would be alive, after being tossed off the cliff.
"Impossible, I looked and searched for your body, no you cannot be my son!".
In her moment of shock, I pulled out a gun in my hand, and pointed it to her, "what! Don't I look like my father, and guess what! You are the most shitty mom ever and I pray you to rot in hell!".
(The gun goes off
Elena quietly watched and noted how concerned I was about Riya, she wears a weak smile, when the ambulance came home and carried Riya to the hospital, yet she kept a watch on me.(Saint Paul's 🏥 hospital)It's been an hour, however, the doctor hasn't come out of the emergency room, actually, the last time I prayed was the day I asked God to help me and get my mom exposed, now I pray that nothing happens to Riya, I might not say this much, but I have learned to care about her, don't ask! Because I do not know if it's love or out of obligation.(The door opens up attaining our attention)"Doctor! Is Riya okay"I swopped in before Elena could ask, the doctor shook his head and a cloud of relief hovered around us the moment we took heed of his words.Elena walks closer and placed her hand on my shoulders, veering my attention to her."
I don't think, it's a coincidence seeing her at home, now that her real identity has been revealed to me! But I needed to know the real reason she craved to talk with me."Talk about what? What is it?" I asked once more, noting the weak smile she had on."About a common enemy, we both share! She muttered back to me donning a devilish smile on her face.It seems like she's trying to make me understand something or rather she's just trying to spark curiosity, in which way, I still have to play the clueless game with her."Methane drew! I don't understand what you mean by a common enemy! I don't have an enemy and I don't wish to have one".She shoots me a serious look, moves towards my direction, and blabs out to me."Don't you dare play the am so dumb game with me! I know that your real name is Andres Khan, son to Liam and Elena Khan"?(S
I knew that refusing Riya would be turning the happy smile she had on, into a sad one."Fine, let's go!".We walked to the dance floor, as I pulled her close to me, she runs her hands on mine and places my other hand on her waist, for a girl who claims to be innocent, she knew what she was doing.We danced alongside other guests there, Elena turned her eyes and saw us dancing, surprised she wears a smile after seeing us.While we danced, methane signaled me from the audience, I attempted to pull my hands away rather Riya withheld them." Riya, I have something urgent to do right now, please let go of me".I asked but still, she kept on holding onto me, when shortly there was a power cut, the whole mansion was covered in total darkness, I wandered my eyes away and noticed that there was only a power cut here alone, something isn't just right.(A gun
Immediately I ran out of words, what can I say, Riya loves the same woman who took her happiness away and that of her own son, decerning the sad look on her face, I had no choice but to tell her the words she needed to hear from me."She will be fine, your mom is a strong woman and I am certain nothing will happen to her".As comforting as that might sound like, I just hope the foolish mistake of methane doesn't get me exposed as well.(At the hospital)After a while, Riya and I scrambled into the hospital, the whole family members were there, waiting for the doctor's report, hours passed yet the doctor was still in, and an anxious Riya was this close to barging inside the emergence room, luckily the doctor decides to come and meet us." Doctor, how's my mom?"Riya walked closer, anxiously awaiting his reply.The doctor soars his eyes around before proceeding with his sta
THE NEXT DAY - I stayed back at the hospital, Riya slept like a baby laying on my lap, and talk about me not having any sleep at all."Pssst"I veered back and saw methane calling out to me, she signaled, "meet me outside the hospital", and left afterward, a few seconds headcount, I gently laid Riya's head down and walked out to meet her."Hey! What is it?".She swivels wearing a terrified look on her face, " Andres! You asked me to trust you but it's been hours now, yet nothing has happened, can you tell me what's going on?"."Look! I did tell you to trust me and you should, we need not do anything stupid, so please calm yourself down and let me do my job!"(I walked back into the hospital)Methane walked in after a few seconds contemplating to herself when Riya screamed out loud attaining our attention."Riya what is going on!"A
inaudible conversation)And it hasn't been an hour since methane left my room, Riya sneaks in without my knowledge, donning a vicious smile on."Hello! Handsome" she finally makes her presence known, gaining my attention to her."Hello, Riya! What are you doing here?" I asked fiddling for her response.So she says, "what do you mean why am I here? Can't I come to talk with you anymore? Ain't we friends?". She frowns at me.I had no idea that our relationship can be tagged as being friends, I have always thought that I was the guy, who normally comes to her rescue! Nothing more, nothing less."Wow, Riya! You surprise me with your words".(A flabbergasted glare draped over my face)Riya gigged seeing the look I had on, she takes three steps closer to where I stood, our eyes locked for a while before she proceeds with her statement.
Hello Salem! I need you to accompany me to a place". She says fiddling for my response.The look she had on gave me the clarity that wherever we were going to, isn't going to be a jolly LLB ride."Yes Ma'am, but where are we going too?" I asked her."You'll see, come on" she walked passed donning a weak smile on.We got into the car, David, Elena's driver, immediately drove off the second we got in.I turned my eye and saw how calm Elena was, she veers her eyes elsewhere as we drove past the streets of Elmore city.(1½ hours later)I still couldn't place my fingers as to where we were heading too! But my pending question got answered the second David drove into the exact place everything ended that very day."Get out!" Elena repaid her eyes to me, out of curiosity and a slit fear of the unknown I got out of the car.D
nothing! I noticed that you haven't eaten anything yet! Why?". I asked fiddling for her response.The furious look disappeared the moment I asked her, "nothing, don't worry so much!". She turns her back at me."Okay, but tell me why don't you feel like eating? are you okay?" Once more I asked." Look Salem, I am fine, you don't need to get worried about me, I'll be okay, just leave me alone so I can think!". She backed me altering that out.Apparently, after a while, I listened and left per her instruction. I veered and saw Riya standing behind, she falls her eyes elsewhere thus watched me leave, I know she was still mad at the incident that happened the other day.THE FOLLOWING MORNING(8:00pm)I got up from bed and head down for breakfast, the chairs at the dining table were seated on and the one left was next to Riya who kept a straight face at me.
