Brain opened his eyes and firstly looked at the ceiling. He smiled because he knew that Jerika was looking at him. He can feel her stare and he can feel her presence. He was glad to realize that Jerika kept her promise and she was their when he woke up he was not left alone as he was used to in that hospital lying in that very bed. He had someone know who waits for him rather than him waiting for someone to come to him. That very thought was peaceful.“You seem very fresh. I bet you had a good night sleep. Don’t you!” Jerika asked Brian who stood up in a sitting position and looked at Jerika with nice, sweet, lovely smile he wore naturally by looking at her and Jerika reciprocated with the smile equivalent to Brian’s but then Brian’s smile faded when he started thinking something particular.

The shoes
“What’s wrong?” Jerika asked with concern when she saw that Brian looked worried and in deep thought.“Who is Antoine?” Brian asked. Jerika was surprised to hear Antoine’s name from Brian.“How do you know Antoine? Do you remember him now?” Jerika asked Brian in hope so that he could say yes.“Do I have to remember him? Is he an acquaintance to me?” Brain asked and Jerika realized that it was not time yet to unravel Antoine’s truth. She still had long way to go and rummage further.“I will tell you everything I know but firstly you need to tell me from where did you picked up that name?” Jerika asked Brian curiously.“I heard it in my head when I was sleeping. You were talking about him” Brian said in confusion. Jerika understood what happened.

A promise
Daulat stopped the car in front of Jerika’s house. Jerika looked at Brain on the back seat that had fallen asleep. He was on lot of medicines and sedatives which might have been the reason; he was knocked off so easily. He looked in peace. Jerika did not want to disturb Brian’s peace of mind as long as he has it but she was too despising the fact that she had share his presence with Daulat, whom she almost forget also sitting in the car. Jerika noticed that Daulat was looking at the house so intensely that he might be able to pierce the walls with just his stare. Jerika knew what was bothering him and she assumed that all this will lead to another fight and disagreement. It was both distressing and disappointing.“Come outside” Jerika told Daulat in lower voice by signing him to move out.Daulat was about speaking something but Jerika was quick to stop him.“Not here” Jerika said like a warning. Both, Jerika and Daulat looked

Desire waited for so long!
***** Brian’s POV (Point of view)… ***** Brian woke up and when he felt soothing and pleasant smell of flowers. His eyes were still closed as he was too tired to open them. He moved around the bed he was sleeping on and he touched the soft fabric lay under him. He was not used to that and neither to the sweet fragrance. Hospitals do not smell like that and neither do they smell the way he smelled the surrounding. This had only one explanation; he was no longer in the hospital. He liked that thought very much. He liked that feeling. His senses were alerted when he heard creaking voice of door’s opening. He woke up instantly to look at the intruder in his pleasure but he was not mad to seen Jerika coming inside. He could not be more pleased than he already was. There was something about Jerika which attracts Brian towards her and the attraction and pull he felts, he knew was not one sided. Jerika feels it too. It has been Brian who has been acting on his emotions and he did wh

Tell a lie
Antoine reached his home and ran inside. He took a breath of relief once he was inside. Antoine made sure to lock the door twice. He walked in opposite direction looking at the locked door and bumped with something… someone. Antoine was startled and he responded defensively. Isabel founded Antoine in a weird manner. He looked tired and scared. He was acting different.“What is wrong?” Isabel asked with concern.“Nothing… I got surprised. That’s it” Antoine said belittling the matter. He went inside in the kitchen and pours himself a glass of cold water. Isabel followed him inside the kitchen.“What do you mean you got surprised? You looked scared of something besides what is there to get surprised or scared?” Isabel demanded answers from Antoine.“I did not… I am sorry Bells… my mind was somewhere else so when I bumped onto you, I took it as a surprise. It was nothing else”

Telling the truth
“What? What is it?” Jerika asked by waving her hands in air.“You said two years” Daulat told Jerika making her realize that Brian was not aware of that fact.“Why would you say two years?” Daulat asked in confusion.“Because it has been two years since your accident” Daulat answered plainly. He had no difficulty and no dilemma in telling truth to Brian. All the concern and crap about his health and condition did not matter to him until it become really essential for Jerika to know and reveal the truth. But Daulat knew Brian was tougher than he looks. He had seen it.

Only an idiot will consider him fragile but Daulat was smarter to be called one.“

A very long day
Jerika went to see Daulat. He was lying on couch with his eyes closed. Jerika sat on an adjacent seat. Brian was nowhere to see. He might have retired for the night. Jerika was tired too. She needed sleep but difficulty was she could not. She could not forget about the response from Brian she got few minutes earlier. She did not get it. She needed to get it out of her system. She needed to talk about what happened so that she could make out something from it. She was hoping she could speak to Daulat about it but he was resting. “You are thinking a lot” Daulat said making Jerika jump out of her thoughts. “You are not sleeping!” Jerika said in amazement. “Are you?” Daulat said. “I thought you were asleep” Jerika whispered. “Why are you here then?” Daulat said. “You should not sleep here. Go, sleep in the guest room” Jerika said. “Then where will you make Brian sleep?” Daulat asked looking at the roof. “This house has many
