FEELING OF BETRAYAL

CHAPTER-12 Tomorrow's Plan

Alaster’s POV:

“Henry you need to rest now and don’t overthink now.  I have injected your sleeping dose for you. Please sleep.” I said pricking him with his sleeping dose on his left arm.

He smiled before he slept and it made me feel what he was going through inside.

‘You’re whipped man! I never knew a playboy like you could love people. But what you did to Fio will never let you be in peace and I’m sure about it. Only forgiveness for what you’ve done can make you live in peace now but I’m sure you have a long way to go. I still wonder what you have for that small girl who still is in school.’ I thought.

“Maybe I should make Fio and Henry meet and sort their differences. Only that will bring his peace back else he would do something worse.” I said aloud not bothering if he could hear it or not.

‘I will definitely have a tough time convincing that child for whatever she went through. Poor girl.’ I thought.

Sam’s POV:

‘I do feel bad when Fio still cares about people who do wrong to her. But is it that difficult that she cannot change herself to not be hurt by others and not care for unknown people or people who hurt her? I’m not asking her to be selfish but I do want her to care for her own self. How I wish I was her real brother because I would have taken care of her like a princess but I still don’t mind taking care of her like a princess. I hope she does not build a heavy wall around her heart which  would hurt her later on.’

“Good night Fio.” I told her walking towards my room.

“Good night Sam.” She replied with a smile which doesn’t reach her eyes.

‘I don’t even feel her smiles now. How did they just vanish in one night? He charming smile which was positive reflects hurt and pain. I couldn’t even tell her that I note all of this in her because I’m sure she would feel the pain even more. She doesn’t need to know her actions are being understood by me. I wouldn’t hurt her further.’ I thought.

‘I would make things better for you Fio. Please don’t worry too much about your past. I will be there for you.’ I told myself when sleep overtook me.

Fiona’s POV:

‘why do I feel Sam knows my feelings? Am I an open book where people can read my actions and understand my feeling. I know I haven’t seen my face for 2 days in the mirror because I’m sure it has no shine or happiness like what I had before. Maybe that’s why!’ I thought.

“Oh my gosh! Why does my face look like this?” I whisper yelled at my face in the mirror.

‘Thank god the bathroom is soundproof else I’m sure Sam would’ve been here any moment because of my yelling! God my face looks so lifeless and unlike my usual self. What have I done? Why do people hurt me, use me and still try to ruin my life? What have I done for them to ruin my life which has already lost its peace long back? I hope I will have happiness back in my life.’ I sighed.

‘Does my parents know that I’m here? What did Tessa tell her? Maybe she is trying to do some good for me! How would it have been if she had been like this forever. I wouldn’t have gone through this. The thought of it so sulks me. I shouldn’t think about this to ruin my mind more.’ I spoke to myself.

“From when did I start talking to myself?” I spoke out!

“From the time you felt lonely!” My conscience mocked me.

‘Uff! This is too much.’ I grunted.

‘The right time to get a message from an unknown number too ! Who is this now in the middle of the night?’ I thought.

“Can we meet tomorrow at 4:30? Alaster”  The last person who I wished to converse with right now! I sighed!

“Hey I have no intentions to meet anyone anywhere. I’m sorry!” I replied. First why did I have to reply? Now that I have done it I shouldn’t repent!

“I’m sorry for intruding in your personal life. But please trust me this would make your life better.” Alaster replied.

“Firstly I don’t trust unknown people because I’m going through a lot of things in life which I’m sure your friend would have enlightened you about!” I replied.

“I know what your pain is though I cannot experience it I’m genuinely trying to help you overcome it.” He replied.

‘I guess he is not planning to back off! Do I just go and meet him? Can I trust him? Why not give it a try.’I thought.

‘Yes you should go! Just because you are hurt it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t trust someone! You still care for people hurt you so try meeting the person who genuinely wants to help you.’ My conscience pricked me.

“Yes I will come tomorrow. Please share the location! Good night!” I replied.

“Night!” He replied back.

‘May tomorrow be the final day for my pain.’ I thought and put myself to sleep.

Tessa’s POV:

‘Why did Alaster want Fio’s number? He said he was making things easier for her and bring her out of her pain? But does he know how painful it is to go through r**e? Maybe he is only thinking from Henry’s point of view. Should I allow him to talk? I must just message him and see.’ I thought.

“Hey Alaster, just wanted to clarify if you wanted me to help you out?” I messaged him knowing he wouldn’t tell me the full truth.

“Hey Tessa, thanks for asking me, it is just that I wanted to meet her and talk to her as to how to approach the pain and you know uhm convince her thoughts of Henry.” He replied.

‘What on earth? Is he really thinking he could change the thought of Fio so easily after she being r***d?’ I thought.

“I don’t think that is a good idea Alaster! How do you expect her to change her mind set about Henry after what he did to her? Isn’t it weird and painful? You supporting your friend after what he’s done ? Even I’m his friend but what he did to my sister was painful. Though I didn’t go through the pain I’m sure it’s nothing easy to let go of. It will almost be stuck in your mind throughout your life.” I replied back.

“No Tessa. I am not supporting him for sure because it was me who told him he did a big mistake. All I wanted to do is to clear the air and make Henry go with Fio because I’m sure she would have to accept him after her incident. That makes it good for both of them to avoid the pain.” He replied.

‘What nerve he has gotten to tell Fio would forget the pain! I’m sure he doesn’t have a sister.’ I grunted.

“Your thinking I’m sure doesn’t make sense. Why should Fio be with the person who r***d her firstly? Secondly she wouldn’t be happy with him thinking from her perspective she wouldn’t give in to this proposal. Thirdly the pain will still be in her heart.” I replied trying to put some sense into Alaster’s brain.

“But I can try Tessa! I will let you know tomorrow after I meet her and if I need any help. Good night Tessa.” He replied.

“Good night.”I replied back.

‘I only hope Fio doesn’t get hurt by tomorrow’s plan.’ I thought putting myself to sleep.
