Misplaced

The Thorns between Love

"Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns there is a rose that's worth all the pain." somewhere written in the lost pages of the unknown writer.

''If you want to get a Rose, then you have to deal with the thorns on first. "

My health is better now after whole one week. No day went by without me crying for Greg. Everyday I was in tension that how would he be. He would have not eaten anything and nor had water. Without water and food, is he still alive? These questions were giving more stress to me. It was very difficult to handle. There is no clue of Greg. The police is searching for him but he is still missing.

My family was supporting me, taking a good care of me so that it could not affect my brain and give more severe and psychological results. I was feeling very heavy and depressed. My family was making me ready and making me normal because of the engagement date was near. I decided not to do engagement in this situation but they were not agreeing with me. Sitting like a dumb and I was feeling very numb. I was spending some time with kids and babies to bring myself back. The joyful and brave Jessica.

They were my aunt's babies and kids. They came to meet us at our house. It feels very light and it gives a vibe increasing effect to be with the younger ones.

I play a lot with kids and it feels so good to me. There is no negativity in them. They don't hurt you. They don't make you sad. They don't harm you. I was just seeing and observing to the 1 year old girl. She was first crawling down. She got up on her legs and started to walk. While walking she was falling again and again. But I didn't want to make her stand. I just wanted to observe what she will do next. She was getting up by herself and started running fiercefully. Then again she fell down and again she got up on her own by taking the wall's support. Then again she fell and got up. She was not feeling affected by falling down again and again. She was not giving up and trying to get up again and again when she fell. She has to learn to balance and walk properly so that she could not fall again. She should learn to walk perfectly without falling again. And if she falls then it doesn't affect her. She still gets up with the same spirit to try to walk properly.

We all kept falling again and again like same like this. And we didn't give up at that time. And now because of that we have learnt how to walk properly And don't care to fall because it doesn't not affect us. Because we know how to get up on our own. Though at the learning stage we sometimes needed some kind of support to get up but now we are so perfect that we can get up on our own without any kind of support.

Everyone around us, teaches us something we just have to have a close look at it. There is no age limit for learning and acquiring something. And it is nothing like if we are old so we could not learn what a younger one is trying to teach. When parents can teach something to there children, they can learn something back from them. There is no age of experiences. I can be more experienced than an old man who says my hair are white because of my age and experience and not because of sun.

A 1 year old had taught me that in life you will fall many times but you have to get up on your own. It is actually trying to teach you how to walk properly and bring balance. Once you start walking properly and you know how to get up again, then you would not be scared to fall down and walk fearlessly.

I got my motivation back and I stood up and went to the police station. The police was not doing there work properly. They were not searching for him properly. "You are not doing your job, there is no sign of Greg till now. It's more than a week and could you give me one thing that you found out about him? " I said and banged the table in front of him. "Don't worry mam, we will get him. It's just a matter of sometime. Give us some time and we will find him" he said. "It's been a lot of time now. No one can live without water and food more than about 3 weeks and you are waiting for that time and then you will come to me and say that he would be dead now, there is no need in proceeding the investigation. Now are you starting or should I have to reach your head? " I said in anger. He was just quite and didn't say anything. It looked like he got scared of my words. After so much of my complaints they started their work again.

After sometime he asked me "could you please give us his number so that we could track where his last location would be. We will try to find out where his phone was before it got switched off. " I gave them his number.

After few minutes he came and said me that "his last location was seen outside of the Ben Woods then it got out of reach." I got more worried now.

I went back to home and was waiting for the updates about the investigation. But there were none.

Two days later, the police found a blue color car trashed with a huge tree. And the car was found about 2.5 miles away from the location which Greg had guided us towards to. Now this was getting more complicated. There was no ditch near the car.

Now more weeks passed. Now I was also thinking that he would be dead now. No more evidences were found of him. My family members insisted me to marry Henry. They were not even letting me think of Greg. I had never thought about this happening with me. I don't want anyone now. But I was still having a hope that he would come. When ever my phone used to ring I just hope that it would of yours.

It is 4th august now. One day left for my engagement. I was feeling very sad and I didn't want to get engaged with Henry. All the preparation things were going on. Everybody was very busy.

Marie and her whole family came here and my other relatives came to meet me. Marie was also decorating and giving a helping hand in preparations.

After sometime Marie came and sat with me. She came just to give some motivation and to spend some time with me. She said me a thing that touched my heart. She said me to never lose hope. The most unexpected and believable things and miracles occur when you are least expecting it.

Now this gave me something to trust on, something I could believe on. Something that could keep me on the track.

The day of my engagement 5th August came. I was very heartbroken. If I would not get my Greg back then I would lost faith in love , I will not believe in love and nor I would love anyone. I would just kick off love from my life.

My engagement ceremony was done. Everybody looked very happy. Everyone was smiling. Except me. I was living making a bad face the whole day. Saying this to myself that I am unhappy makes me more sad and depressed. I already broken from inside it's all done. Everything is finished. The one I was living my life for is also no more. Then there is no reason for me here now. Negative thoughts were giving a great impact to my head. I was feeling to do something bad to myself but then I see towards my family and then stop myself. I wanted to take a bad step but stop my self by thinking about my family. What would they feel about me? It will just hurt them a lot.

After 2-3 days I got a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, to my surprise it was Greg on the call the. It was unexpected and believable. I just remembered the lines which Marie said to me. But he was sounding very scared and dull. With less power and low energy.

"Hello..., Jessy, listen to me carefully. I am alive and safe but don't know till when. And the main thing is, the police have kept me in a very dark jail, saying that you are dead and I had killed you. I mean they found me and sent me into the jail in the crime of committing a murder of you. Please save me... Jess..., Jessy? Are you there? " He said.

"What? What are you talking about Greg? Are you serious? The police did this?" I asked. "Yeah. I was also not believing this but it is the truth. And thanks to god that you are alive or else I was gonna do something to my self" he said. "Don't say like that, thanks to god that he kept you alive or else there was no wish for me to live. First you say me where are, I mean what happened with you?" I asked. "About a week ago, I managed to come out of the ditch after trying a lot. Then when I was going, trying to find out way for me, I found a bunch of policemen blocking my way, they asked me if I am Greg or not, I said yes. Then they asked that what am I doing here, so I explained them the whole story. And then they said that it is all a lie what I am saying. Then they said that you are dead and I only killed you because you were going to marry someone else. Then they brought me into an interrogation room and asked a lot of questions, then decided to keep me in a dark jail all alone and they said that they'll give me food just once in three days and water twice times in three days. Then I was brought here. And I am very scared now" he explained.

"Then how did you got your phone there into the jail?" I asked. " When I came here so I was trying to touch and feel things around me and I searched everywhere and I found this hidden in the broken tiles over here" he replied. "Oh , so you are trying to say me that the policemen had kept you hidden?" I asked. "Umm, yeah" he replied. "So could you remember which police station you were taken to or the appearance of the policemen? Or the place you were taken to?" I asked. "No , they tied a cloth on my eyes so that I could not see anything but the cops who found me took me to an officer I remember his face. He looked like a young french man with a french moustache. And he was having a great scar on his left arm" he said. And this seems to be the same policeman to which I went to.

I said him to switch off the phone for now then after about half an hour you call me again. Till then I am going to the police station now.

I just quickly went to the police station. I was very upset. I just went and asked them one question first, "where is Greg?" "No new clue has been found of him" the officer said. I just saw at his left arm. There was a scar present on his arm. So I got sure that they only hid Greg somewhere. "You are lying to me. You only hid Greg somewhere. He was founded a week ago then say me where the b****y hell he is?" I got up and said "Where did you kept him" I banged at the table then continued "How much torcher are you doing to Greg. Why are you doing this?" I then kicked the chair their and said "who the hell is making you do this? Why are you doing this to me?" I shouted and was crying. The officer really got very scared. And then lifted the telephone in front of the officer and was going to throw it on him but suddenly other cops came from behind and then stopped me. They held my hand to control me. Few took out guns and pointed on me. Then the officer showed a hand amd then everyone kept there guns down and the ones who were holding me , left me on his order.

"Listen carefully now, I don't like any kind of misbehavior in front of me. And we have not kept Greg hidden. He is still not been found and when he would be found you would surely the one we would contact to. What do we get by keeping Greg hidden. Who is he? Why would be do that? And now just get out of here" then he paused and said "Ma'am. Please."

I was just forced to go out and then after coming out I tried to call Greg but it didn't connected. So I just stared at the police station and then went from there.

I was waiting for his call and it was late evening but still I didn't get a call from him. I was having my dinner and suddenly I got his call. I didn't completed my meal but I got up from the table everyone was surprised and asked me what happened. I just picked the phone and said hello then washed my hands and went to the room.

"Yeah , um hi. Sorry I am too late to call back. Actually I was asleep. So didn't call you back." He said. "It's actually okay. It's fine. You don't need to be sorry. First say me did you have something?" I asked. "Actually... I um, I had meal two days back and yesterday I drunk water. So hopefully I am gonna have food and water by tomorrow" he said. I cried and said "I also don't wish to eat now after listening this. I was sitting on the dining table and was having food but as soon as you called I got up and left my food." "No. That is a bad thing you should never get up from your meal no matter what. I am not able to eat is a problem but if you don't give respect to food then there will be no value of food . I can manage. You know na that there are many people who don't get enough food to eat. Many people can't afford so they don't eat food. So we have to respect it. I will be waiting for you . Go and complete your meal first then we will talk. Okay?" "Okay!" I blushed. "Bye, talk ya soon" saying this he ended the call. I just smiled and went back to eat my food.

After my meal I called him but his phone was switched off. I was waiting for his call and it was midnight now. I was feeling very drowsy. I was feeling to sleep but was just waiting for his phone call.

I was almost asleep that my phone rung and I quickly got up and took my phone, picked it up and whispered "hello, please just wait for a moment." "Okay" he said. I then went into the balcony to talk. "Yeah hello" I said. "What happened why are you talking so slowly?" He asked. "No actually all are asleep here, so I am talking in a low voice in the balcony " I replied. "Oh, but why is everything alright? Are they fine?" He asked. "Yeah everyone is fine. Actually it's late night na, so everybody as you know sleeps early in my house." I replied. "Ah ha... Okay. I actually don't get to know what the time is right now and is it day or night here. It's a very scary dark place. I can't see anything" he said.

I felt very sad about it. "The policeman denied and said that he didn't hide you. He said that you were never found" I said. "What? Did you really go to the police station to ask them?" He asked. "Um, yeah" I replied. "What? And they said that they didn't?" He asked. "Yeah. I just went there and created a big scene over there. I just shouted at everyone over there" I replied. "Why did you do that? There was no need to do this. And they are lying. Don't believe a single word that comes out from there mouth." He demanded. "Yeah, I know that they are lying. Let's leave this discussion. Let's talk about something else. If you still loved me then why did you never call me? Or even you could have just texted me." I said. "Yeah but actually I was really very scared of getting rejection. I thought that you are still angry on me and you don't want me now. And you were also not saying anything. If you really loved me then you could have also told me or reached out to me. But you also didn't do it" he said. "Yeah but I was like, I just left some hints for you all around and I knew that you would surely get it" I said. "Which hints? I mean what kind of hints did you leave for me?" He asked. "Ummm, it's like... I said about you to Marie and a lot of times I mentioned about how much we love each other to her. I didn't say Marie to contact you but I somehow knew that you would try to contact or would try to reach to me through her." I replied. "Ah, it's very surprising but anyway , and anymore?" He asked me. "Um yeah... Like I said or spread the information to your friends which I wanted you to know" I said. "Oh ho! Nice move ha. I thought that I was doing investigation of you but actually you spread everything all around and that means that I haven't searched for you but you only made me search you with all the information." "Hell yeah!" I exclaimed. "I just had a thought about it that you had did something like this" he said.

Then we had very long conversion with him. We were happy but I thought to say him about my engagement. It felt like he also had to say something. He was also taking a pause to say something. But don't know why he has been afraid to say it to me. Now it felt like he was going to say something "ah, Jess I want to say you something. The night at which I fell into the ditch, something really wierd happened. Umm.. How should I say it. Um and aa.. I am really scared about it. I experienced.." He didn't complete but I interrupt and said, "wait listen first, I have to say you very important thing . I don't think that you would like it." "What is it?" He asked. "Ah, but don't think that it would mean we could not make it" I said then he said, "what is it? What has happened?" "And don't think that things are or seems to be very difficult now.." I said. "What has happened? first tell me" he said in an irrigated way. "And no matter what, I still want you and we will be ending up marrying each other. Amen" I said. "Aahh, say mee what is itt?" He scream in anger. So I said quickly, "I got enaged to a guy in my relation!!"

"What? Are you really serious? And do you think that it is a small thing ?" He sounded really very angry. "I will just explain you everything, don't worry... After we got separated, I thought that you would not come, it is now all finish. So after that my parents were also insisting me a lot so I said yes , actually the guy is my cousin Henry and I hate him a lot. Then I realized that heart is still attached to you I can't get you out of my mind. So then I opposed this marriage and stood against my parents. You only said this that your parents loves you a lot and wants do best for you. And we also want good for ourselves so if you think that something is right for you then you can stand by it. They also want good for you and you also want good for yourself so they will understand it and will agree. So I was going on this statement only. And on 5th august I forcefully got engaged. But I clearly said my parents that I wouldn't get married to him. I'll break my engagement" I explained him.

"I umm... I don't know what to say now. It's just heart breaking" he said. "It is nothing like that . You don't need to be heartbroken. Don't worry" I said. "Any way, listen, I had to say you something. That night when I was in the ditch, the ditch was a bit bigger and there was something else present over there. It was very weird. It looked really very strange" he said and then I interrupted him in between and said "what was it? What has happened? Are you fine? Say me clearly. Say everything very clearly." Then I giggled and said, "I am just acting like you. Like how you did earlier. Aha" and then I laughed.

But he seems to be very serious. I thought something really bad happened with him that night. I also got a bit worried at that moment. Then he seriously said, "listen na, it is very serious thing. I don't know how to tell it to you. I am unable to tell you." "Say everything you want to say without fear. What has happened? Now you are making me also worried about that night." I said. "There, there was something very weird located in there. And when I fell into the ditch then I saw it and got scared. Then after a few minutes there was bri..." The phone call ended.

It scared me a lot now. I called him back. But the phone was switched off. I was very scared now. I thought that now I would have to find out where he has been kept by the police or else I would not be able to talk to Greg. And he would have to suffer with the pain which they will give him. Somebody in the house got up so I carefully went to my bedroom to sleep. I went on my bed and was trying to sleep but I was unable to. But after an hour I slept.

In the morning I got up late because of sleeping late at night and it caused a lot of drama in the house in the morning. I then had to say the truth about Greg that he is still alive. And the police had hid him somewhere and is now not accepting the fact. Everybody was shocked it was taking them a lot of time to understand the thing. I then had say about that why I got up from my meal last night at the dinner time. It was really very hard to explain them the sad but bitter truth. Then after having my breakfast I was all set to go to the police station. I insisted my family to let me go but they were not agreeing. And my dad was saying that he would also come with me or at least want to send Andrew with me. But I didn't want anybody to come with. After a lot of argument I went alone from the house for the police station. I went to police station in my car.

I wanted to teach the policemen a lesson. I was not understanding what to do or how to bring out the truth from their mouth. What to do?, what to do? I was asking this question to myself again and again. I thought to go to the police station and think about it later.

when I went to the police station to my surprise there was Henry over there already waiting for me. I wanted to ignore him. so I just saw towards him and then looked away. He was coming towards me and I was running from him. I didn't know why did you come here. For once I thought that he would have got to know about me coming here. But the question here is how?

Then he towards me and unwantedly I had to talk to him. "Why did you come here? what has happened ?" I asked him. He said that Marie told him everything, how greg was lost and how the police had hid him. I then asked him, "what did Marie said about Greg? Do you know him?" "Yeah she said that he is your best friend and uh, I just don't want you to keep a close connection with him now. I am seriously telling you that I would not like it. And if it is the matter of finding him then I will help you out." He said it to me. I am not scared of his warnings. I just don't care about him. Soon he would get to know that I don't want to marry him. And I just want my life with Greg.

It was looking like he was lying to me. So I asked him, "I didn't say mary about police hid him. Then how could she tell you about it?" "Oh yeah, actually your dad only told me about it. He only said me to come here because He was worried about you. So he sent me to be with you and I am here for your safety. Like this we can spend sometime together. We could Know each other more." he said. Now he wouldn't leave me alone. I unwantedly have to go with him to the police station. Why is he not leaving me alone? I was fed up with him.

After going inside he was only doing all the conversation with the police station about Greg. He was only handling everything but the police officer was on his words that he hadn't hid Greg anywhere. And even he has been never found. He has kept repeating it again and again. Then he asked us, "why are you saying like this? Why are you blaming us? Why would we keep lying to you? How did you got this false information?" "Well that can't be said, answer my one more question. Is there a very dark jail over here?" I asked. "Yes but it is usually not used by anyone. I mean we don't keep anyone inside. In there." He said. "Can we just please go and check the jail right now?" I asked very softly. "No. Actually nobody is allowed to go there. It is restricted by my superiors for every one. It is restricted for me too. Until I get an order from my seniors I can't go over there." He said and denied our request to let us go inside and I was feeeling very angry at him. I was getting ready to punch him on his face. But I stopped and controlled because I would more likely look like a tomboy which would not be good. Last time only I did too much drama which I didn't need to do. After sometime we came out from the police station.

Henry was saying me to come with him but I said that I am having me my car and I can go by myself.

I was very angry on my dad. Why did he sent Henry here? What was the need to do this? I don't like these things. I was very angry at Marie too. Why are they spreading this information to others? And most importantly why only to Henry?

I went home and said it to my dad "Why did you sent Henry with me? What was the need to do it ?" "What? I said Henry to go with you?" He said. I didn't look like he had really done this to me with his words but then I said "yeah, Henry said me everything that you said him to go with me" "Oh uh, yeah but did he really come there?" He asked me. " "Yeah" I replied. "Yes, I want you both to spend sometime together why are you not wanting him? He is going to become your husband." He said. I got angry and said, "you know this that who I am going to marry" saying this I went up.

-After Jessica went upstairs, her mom asked dad that when did he say Henry to go with Jessy, and replied that I didn't say him to go with Jessy, I thought that he wanted to go with her so he just made an excuse by saying this so I just protected him here. In the next episode Jessica is going to be kidnapped.-

One day I was going to the police station in my car. Suddenly I started feeling dizzy and then I came out of my car and got fainted. Somebody from my back came and took me somewhere.
