1 Roy Mathew on a lonely beach of an isolated island he was the only one living there or as he thought he was.
Roy opened his eyes. He had the same dream that he always has.
Watching the sunset with his mother she lift him up high so he could see better, but then he fell on ground. He looked at his mother. She lay on the ground and white water coming out of her mouth. He used to have this dream about his mother who gave birth to him. His past never released him.
He had lain there long enough. Stars that kept him staring into the sky helped him sleep on that beach.
Roy was enjoying his vacation alone the way he never wanted. He hoped to go to many countries, meet many people, climb hills, learn to swim and do many things. Roy had money enough that he was able to buy 45% of the world property right away but had no one with him to enjoy the bonfire and to accompany him in his daily struggle to find happiness.
That vacation was too long for him just like any other, he hated spending it with his family and had no friends to be with him.
He knew he could make a few but it was not easy to find people who come close without their own benefit.
He got up. The fire that kept everything warm had its flames out of control because of the wind. There was no point for him to stay there the whole night or go to his modern house either ways he had to find some way not to feel alone. After spending many days alone in deserted island Roy did started regretting his decision to take vacation or to leave Veronica. He never loved her but at least she would had come there to side by his side enjoying the fire.
It was a full moon night. The sky had many stars to amaze eyes of all nature creature.
Countless stars had filled the dark sky.
These made him always wondered if there are so many stars then why life was only on a single planet. If life was on other planets also then his chances to find some good friend would had increased.
It was a perfect night. It had everything that a good night should. Chill air, the sound of ocean tides lifting up for mixing again with rest of the ocean to make a magical noise, view of the sky, and brightness from the moon.
Weather started to change. Cold wind from the ocean were increasing, and so were the tides. News broadcast did not say anything about rain but he didn’t trust news anyway.
He picked up his shoes and put out the fire with it. He just last time looked at the moon. Each full moon reminded him of that night when he lost his everything at a very young age. The night when his mother left him.
His house was a small but modern house. This house was his dream house and was very happy to build it until he started to feel lonely.
His father was Charles Matheve a rich business man of his time and his mother was Harhsani Matheve a servant, she was not supposed to give birth to Roy, when she did Charles had no option but to accept her as his second wife. Sadly that marriage did not last long.
His sister was a member of his family that he liked, she was the only one who stayed with him even after the single thread that was holding him to those rich people was no more, when his father died.
His dad was a rich man who kept Roy in his house after his mother died. After death of that rich old man Roy left that mansion to build his own empire.
He left everyone. Just Victoria, his half, sister stayed in touch even after so many years.
A small walk took him to his smart house. The house had everything all technical machineries and food storage that would last for months.
It located in the Indian Ocean one of those islands which were on sale by the government.
Having that Island was easier than others. It was completely empty. Tribal people left the island to live on different nearby islands. Not even one of them tried to return and because of the stories they had spread no one dared to come near it. Roy had not heard of that story yet.
Apparently he was alone there.
He stood in front of a large metallic door and it opened for him.
“Good evening sir. You came early today I assume this is because of the wind.”
“Hmmm…..”
“You can enjoy the sky if you want sir, according to news whether will be good tonight.”
‘Sometimes I think this Butler-12 also don’t want me to be near him’ Roy was not in a mood to give any order to his house. He threw his shoes on the floor and went to his bedroom on the 1st floor.
“Sir shall I start the security system.”
“No……..” he gave a long frustrated answer even for a machine intelligence it was a sign of not to ask any more question.
He entered his bedroom. It had a large square bed and soft white carpet everywhere. He could see the ocean from the big window of his room.
He changed his clothes and fell right on the bed. He was tired of doing nothing.
Back in London he used to work all the time but when everyone insisted on him taking a break he came there.
Roy was an Indian his family had two reasons to live in London. One was business other was to avoid the murder case that was still on.
No one in their family ever mentions anything about India as if they didn’t had any thread attach to that country. Mostly everyone was forbidden to speak about anything that may harm family reputation.
He lay there looking out of the window. He could see the ocean and the tides shinning because of the white light coming from the moon still not hidden by the clouds. A glittering sea and the dark sky looked like two paints mixing in one another at a very far end.
He lay there watching the sky and ocean merge until his eye started getting heavy. All his thoughts started disappearing as his eyes were closing. He relaxing in that quite room utterly unaware of what was happening outside.
Slowly, very slowly as the rain began someone was approaching his house.
His breath became steady, and eyelid finally covered his eyes, before he could realize he lost in dreamy land.
It was 10:25 when he last had seen the time.
The moon was hidden. All the stars disappeared in darkness. The black cloud had gathered to cover the beautiful sky.
This weather was making that night stranger than all the other nights.
The wind had got its entire speed; raindrop had started falling from the sky they hit the ground as if were bullets fired by the upper lords.
The wind gave speed and direction to those bullets, and soon rain made everything wet.
His smart house already was preparing for any unpredicted attack by the storm.
Around 12:30
“What??” Roy opened his eyes. He was still dreamy.
He looked out from the window, and there was nothing but darkness. Out there he was sure rain was heavy he could feel it. His first thought was, rain woke him but then
“Sir there is someone at the door. Please check from the monitor to allow that guest or not”
‘GUEST….. What????? A guest at this hour. Who? Might be lawyer. I told that woman I don’t want all this drama. ’ He thought
His mother used to call him for property selling, the part which his father had left for him. Her lawyer used to visit every now and then. But this still it was utterly foolish to believe that he came there at weather like that and in time like that.
He checked on the tablet. He saw a woman. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. She was a woman.
He pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. Since childhood he used to have strange dreams.
It was a time when he no longer had any real life.
After many medications he was cured; still his doctor had warned him his disease might come back.
In his college, he used to have a dream that his mother came back to life and now he had to save her from dying again.
This imagination led him to see things that were not real and took him to places that don’t exist.
He was never entirely sure what was a dream and what was real.
This ‘guest’ of Roy was not in her sense.
She had nothing on her. Her body had nothing but the cold thin layer of water on it. She was standing there, shaking.
‘Think fast who is she? Is she a girl or a ghost? Ghost right!!! Grow up. There is a girl who wants my help. Something terrible happened to her.’
Not sure what was happening he pinched himself again, not that it ever helped.
He got up and took out those clothes that she could wear with a towel to dry her. He was trying to be as fast as he could.
He had taken out so many clothes that he was not able to see anything in front of him.
‘Be quick you fool there must be some danger out there…. Hurry….’
He did make his journey down much quicker, he slipped and fell down the stairs. All clothes fell forming a small pile of clothes.
“Are you ok sir?”
He stood up and again ran to the door,
“Open it now.” he shouted
That metallic door started to open right after the order. For Roy that time seemed a very long one.
It was a sliding door that opened from left to right. Roy saw her long black hairs, her left white cheek, her blue eyes, and long nose and her thin lips.
He was staring at her face, he was alone for a long time. He used to be busy in his work life. He had no time to spend with girls. He had seen many beauties in London.
And yet he was sure he had never seen any girl as beautiful as her.
He went out right after the door opened completely to cover her with a shawl. He brought her in and ordered to lock the door and activate security outside.
“Butler-12 maintain the temperature inside, I don’t want her to get sick.”
He made her sit on the sofa. She covered herself with that shawl.
He gave her a towel and some clothes, “You dry yourself and wear this I will be back with something to eat and water to drink. Don’t worry whatever happened to you. You are safe now.”
She said nothing she just kept staring at him while he spoke. She looked into his eyes.
When Roy was over talking she let go of her shawl and put her hand on both sides of his head to drag him closer to her face.
Roy was just lost in the fantastic feeling that he had when she touched him. He was losing his control each moment she was pulling him closer.
Her cover fell and now she was completely open. Her thin lips were trying to open her hands were getting cold.
Roy put his hands on the sofa. He closed his eyes. He grabbed the shawl and covered her again with it.
He released himself, “You need rest. I will bring something to eat and hot chocolate to drink till then wear your clothes.”
She said nothing and just kept staring at him.
He went into the kitchen where he started wondering. ‘This girl is on drugs. This explains her condition. Hey butler-12 did you notice anything strange outside?”
“No sir, drone have not found any sign of unusual. There is no sign of the boat or other living beings other than wildlife.”
“Be sure no one has entered in this island. I don’t want to be killed by some drug addicts. This girl might be from here for camping with friends who forgot her here. Take her photo and search from lost people list if somebody has issued any complaint of missing for this girl.”
He kept items to get hot and looked out of the kitchen to see her, just a glance.
He was not able to get her out of his head.
She was a beautiful girl like a dream has come true or was it indeed a dream and maybe he was going to wake up in bed back in his London house like many times happened in the past.
She was looking at clothes. Lifting each one then observe it. Like she never had seen dresses. After throwing some clothes, she lifted Roy's underpants and wore on her head.
He brought his underpants among those clothes by mistake. He was not a person who well arrange their wardroom.
“No…”
He ran to take it off her head and snatched it from her hands
“Don’t you know how to wear clothes? It is not good for either of us if you walk around naked. Will you say something?”
She again just looked at him, lifted her arms to his face. Her shawl was on the sofa back and her upper body completely open. He could see her soft, still cold sensitive skin. Roy made her sit down this time little by force.
He found an excellent comfortable shirt for her. It was lose but still better than nothing at all. One arm then the other and then head he felt like he was helping a fast grown child to wear clothes.
Then came the tricky part.
She was not playing any role in wearing clothes. Even when Roy was good, still he was a man. He had to do a pep talk before he made her wear pant.
He should not have noticed but yet he did. She had a sharp cutting on her leg. It was a deep cut on her thigh, so thick and long that it could not be left unnoticed.
He put his one hand on her waist and with other he held her hand to make her stand up as gently as any man could.
He found a good lose pajama pants for her. He bent down to help her wear it and looked up to see if she is comfortable with it.
She had no expression on her face. ‘Don’t look anywhere, she trusts me. This girl really is on drugs.’ he was ordering himself in his mind.
He closed his eyes and lifted one of her legs to enter into pajama and then he did the same for other he slowly lifted up her pajamas up from her ankles to her thighs and from there to her waist. Somehow he tied notch and then dared to open the eyes.
“Sir your food is ready.”
“Right… you miss come with me we shall have something in our stomach, and then you will take rest. Tomorrow I need proper details about who you are? and why are you here? Is that clear?”
Again she was quiet. Roy grabbed her hand and took her to kitchen.
He had tried to prepare noodles and had chocolate juice along with. He had kept chicken wings ready in case she was not a priest. He arranged a chair for her and helped her seat on it.
She just sat there looking at everything around her.
“Well start eating. You don’t need any education to eat, dig in.”
She stared at food and then looked at him confused. Her face was good proof that she was hungry, but she was not eating anything.
“Well guess if I can help you wear the clothes then helping you to eat will be a tiny thing to do.” He sat beside her.
Starting with noodles. He put his hand under her jaw as softly as he could, then with the other he bought her first bite.
“Open your mouth I know you can do that.”
She refused to do so, but soon a roar came from her stomach after which her mouth opened slowly. “Good. Just eat it and then you can have hot chocolate.”
He fed her few bites usually. He was trying to talk to her while feeding her. She had no response for anything he said.
She was just entirely focused on eating. He was looking at her as she eats. He could not believe he was with such a beautiful girl. He was afraid this night to be a dream as well.
Finally, she finished her noodles. Roy picked up the hot chocolate and gave it to her. She looked at it and picked it up.
“Drink…see here” he showed her how to drink with an empty cup.
She finally got what he meant. Her thin lips touched the cup, and slowly the cup started getting empty.
Roy kept watching her when she did so, it was more beautiful to see her enjoy the drink than to see her naked.
He had seen many girls whom he found attractive, many models and many girls who would do anything to make him their husband but he never had seen any girl doing things the way that girl does.
He hated the idea that this beautiful girl can do drugs or anything stupid. He just watched her till she finished her drink.
“Shall we go to the bedroom? You must be tired.”
She just had just finished her drink. Roy held her hand and tried to get her up from the chair. But she did not move.
“Get up.” He requested
She stayed and pulled him down. She wanted to sit there for long.
“Aren’t you tired? What do you want? You want to eat more I think” she put one hand on his neck and pulled him closer to her.
“I told you. Stop that” He released himself and again tried to get up, but she pulled him back down.
This time she showed that chocolate cup to him.
“Ok. You are hungry that is fine, here eat chicken, till that I prepare the chocolate.”
He turned and started preparing chocolate drink. He looked back at her, the chicken were finished. He was taken aback by the view she didn’t seem to be that hungry.
He took out many other things that he had and started preparing them one by one.
“Take this hot chocolate till other items are ready.”
He started making Omelet, noodles, rice, and fruit juice.
She finished every item one by one.
He gave her a plate having five omelets in it with one glass of orange juice at the end
“Eat this, and sleep how much more you want to eat.”
She finished those omelet in no time and again looked at him. Hunger was still on her face.
He wore an earphone and ordered butler-12 to tell him recipes for chicken kabab at first.
She ate, ate and finished every dish he made. At every end, she would ask for more. She didn’t look satisfied or complete.
‘I am sure now she is a ghost she is going to eat everything and then she will eat me. She should have eaten me first at least I would have died without much pain. Now my hands hurt with my head.
This glass is her last chocolate juice even I haven’t store anything for tomorrow. This devil will eat me tomorrow if she does not get anything to eat.’
“This one is last. We are finished. The shop closed. Fini de stock. We are out. Drink this one and forgive me.” She drank the last cup and this time he felt like she finally understood what he was trying to say.
She emptied her cup and put her head on the table. Her beautiful eyes started to shut down.
Roy noticed she had a small smile on her cheek. He felt like he concurred something valuable more valuable than anything he had ever achieved. She was like a small child who just finished her meal and was ready for a nap.
He wanted to wake her up but she looked so amazing and happy that he didn’t dared to do that. He just thought stay there and watch her all night.
“Sir this will not be comfortable for the lady to sleep in the gesture like this one, she may suffer body pain when she wakes up.”
“Fine boss I will wake her up. Make sure room temperature and other things in the room are good for her. Also, give an order of food stock of 2 years if I am lucky that will be enough for a week for her.” he put one hand on her waist, and the other went down and grabbed her thighs.
She opened her eyes as he did so. She looked at his face. He had a manly face with a small rough beard. A young tall muscular man, he was.
He knew she was observing him.
He picked her up. Carefully he walked, slowly, afraid of something would happen to her. He had held her close to himself. She was able to feel his heart and his muscular body pressed against hers.
He had never imagined feeling the way he was feeling at that moment. Unlike other men he still had not crossed that line.
The door was opened. They entered into that magnificent room. Roy put the guest on the bed. “You sleep now. If you need anything I am here”
He covered her with blanket. Arranged the pillow and bed for her. When Roy thought everything was ok, he decided to leave.
She was looking right at him from her little blue eyes. “Sleep now” he said softly.
She said nothing just took out one hand and held him while he was about to leave. She pulled his arm closer to her chest and chained it with her arms. She was not letting him go.
“Will you leave me now?” he asked
She remained silent and pulled him closer.
He had no option but to share the bed with her. She held his hand and attached her head to his. Both slept like that.
She wanted to be near him. He felt she was getting cold. She was warmer a moment ago and now the guest was like she just came from the cold freezer.
“Are you ok?” he touched her cheek to see if she is ok. She started boiling again.
“Cool down. Relax I will protect you” he rubbed her head a little.
‘Wow, she is cool again. Which kind of disease does she have? She was hot one moment ago and now cold as dead skin. Again she is getting hot, what is it? I really shall call the doctor.’
He tried to release himself but she didn’t let him go. More he tried more she got hotter and tightened her grip. “Ok, I am here don’t be hot again just try to sleep.” He kept his hand against her back and pulled her closer.
He hugged her as he knew her for a long time. Like a true lover his body was attached to hers. Her face was near his chest and his head got lost in her soft hairs.
They stayed that way. Her breath was getting more relaxed. She soon gained the temperature that won’t burn or freeze him.
He understood that she was not like other girls not a single girl he knows can be similar to her.
Time was 5:20am
They were awake all night in the kitchen and now were sleeping in the bed.
He was too tired to stay awake but before sleeping he tried to have a good look of her face to find a smile like the one he had seen in the kitchen.
She had a small smile as she was happy with him. He smiled from his heart after so many years and closed his eyes.
Before sleeping he prayed. Prayed for only one thing that this girl not to be a dream.
They slept innocently holding one another as if they already had a bond in them.
The wind had stopped long ago, and also the rain. The sun had risen brightening the day.
