Hugs Of Tears

Episode 3

Leo's Point Of View,

"Okay so now you know my plan and now you need to help me with it, and if you try to ditch me I swear to god I am gonna kill you", I said to Tom and he just smirked at me,

"Okay but you have to promise me few things", he said and I looked at him with narrow eyes,

"You are so mean, how can you say such a thing", I asked him but he was glaring at me,

"Now tell me what the hell you want", I asked him and this time he smiled at me,

"Well, you just need to promise me that you will do everything I will say and you will not get angry if I will say anything and also you will not ignore me", he said and I just glared at him,

"What the hell Tom, these are so stupid, you are not a kid", I said but he just smirked at me,

"This is what I want", he said and I just rolled my eyes, gosh, he is so stupid and there is no way that I can ignore him so I just have to do it,

"Okay fine now, let us do that, I do not want to delay, I just want you to do it fast, I want you to do it as soon as possible coz I want her meets you before she meets me", I said and he nodded his head, we discuss some more points on this and he agreed, we finished our food and left from there, I could still feel so many gazes on me but I just tried to ignore them all coz they all were so annoying,

"Hey, you just need to drop me home as I left my car at the office", I said to Tom and he looked at me and nodded his head,

"Of course, I just know that, and I was about to do that", he said and I just did not say anything, I started scrolling my phone for some time, there were so many girls who were following me on Insta and I was just seeing if any of them was someone I know but I guess I was wrong, there was no one whom I know, well Tom's driving was not that bad but still sometimes he scares me, soon Tom dropped me at my home and walked out of the car and opened the door for me but I already jumped out coz I do not like it when he does that,

"Tom, how many times I told you that I do not like it when you do that", I reminded him again but he again laughed at it and ignore my words and I just rolled my eyes at him, why the hell he is like this,

"Okay, do you want to come inside and have something", I asked him and he just shook his head,

"Well no, I am full, thank you and also I have some important work to do, so I am leaving", he said and I just took a deep breath,

"Okay then I will see you later, bye bro and do not forget what I said, apply all that rules and do that fast", I reminded him once again that what we talked about and he positively nodded his head,

"Oh come on Leo, you do not need to remind me again and again, I just know that what I need to do and I will do it soon and you will see it", he said and a big smile came on my face after hearing his words,

"Cool then I will see you tonight at the party", I said to him and a big smile appeared on his face as he left, I headed inside and the moment I put my leg inside everyone started clapping for me and my mom pulled me into a hug and I slowly wrapped my arms around her,

"Hey mom, how are you", I asked her as she was smiling so brightly at me and I am glad that she is happy coz of me,

"Just look at me how I am, I am so happy to see you like this Leo, I am so glad that you made your dad so proud and you are the best thing that ever happened to us", said mom to me and her words made my heart so happy, only I know that how much I yearned to hear these words from someone and now my mom is saying this I am feeling so proud and happy,

"Thank you so much mom, it is all happened coz of you and dad, you both made me like this, I am whatever today is all coz of you and I just can never forget this favour of yours", I said and my mom just glared at me, I just know that she does not like when I talk like this, but I just can not help, every time I think about this only these things run into my mind and I just can not stop thinking,

"Leo, why do not you stop thinking like that, so many years passed and you still think about all those things which I want you to forget, why do not you forget all your bad memories and move on honey, you have everything and I want you to be happy", said my mom and I just looked at her with narrow eyes, I just know that she wants to see me happy but all these memories I am having, they are not bad memories, I still love her and I just can not forget her,

"Mom, they are not bad memories, I still love her mom, she is the one I want to have, I just love you and dad so much but that does not mean that I can forget her, I can never forget her mom, never", I said and started walking towards my room but mom just held my hand,

"Listen to me honey, you should stop all these, I just know that you liked her once but you were only a kid that time and now there is a chance that she is having another boyfriend, she does not love you anymore Leo, you should also move on", said my mom and I looked at her with wide eyes, what does she mean that she is having a boyfriend, does my mom knows where she is, does she knows about Sara, what the hell is happening,

"What you mean mom", I asked her and my mom's eyes got wide after hearing my words, she got shocked coz maybe she realized that she said something which she should not have said,

"Mom, I am asking you something, whatever you said just now, what was that, do you know about her", I asked her and her eyes were still so wide and she slowly shook her head but now I just know that she trying to hide something from me,

"I just mean that probably, there are chances that she moved on, I am just saying that it is so long and I think she would forget you, you are just wasting your time behind her", said my mom but this time her words were stammering and now I know she is hiding something from me coz my mom is a straight forward woman and she never stammers like that, it is the very first time when I am seeing her like this, now I am dame sure that she is lying to me,

"And what the hell that she is having a boyfriend, mom, you know about her right, you always know about her, you know where she is, but you did not tell me, you just know that I was searching for her everywhere like a mad man but still you did not say a single word to me, why the hell you did that to me mom, why the hell, we're liking it to see me in pain, were you enjoying my miserable condition like that", I yelled at her and she was shaking her head violently,

"No, no, Leo, that is not true, you are my son and I can never see you in pain, trust me Leo I love you so much dear, please do not be so rude to me", she said and she was crying so hard now, I did not like it, I did not mean to make her cry, I just did not intend to yell at her but she was hiding the biggest thing of my life, the moment they took me from the juvenile home, I was searching for her but they told me that she ran away from there after Ieft even my dad helped me later to find her but we could not find her anywhere, but now look at my mom, she knows where she was from the beginning but she did not tell me anything about that,

"Why did you do this to me mom, why", I was crying so badly now as I fell on my knees, my mom was looking at me with guilty eyes as she was also crying so hard and I was not liking it but I was not in the position to make her calm, I was feeling so broken now, how the hell this happened to me,

"Leo, please listen to me once at least, I just did not mean to do that", mom was trying to justify what she did but I was feeling like someone stabbed me into my heart,

"But you did it, mom, you did it, you were hiding this thing for such a long time, how could you do that to me", I asked her and just then my dad walked in and the moment he saw me like that he came to me running and smile vanished from his face,

"Hey, what happened my son, what happens to you, why you are crying like this, did something wrong happen, did someone say anything to you", my dad asked me as he was caressing my hair and then he shared a look with my mom and she was looking at us with guilty face and teary eyes but I just did not care, what she did to me is wrong and no one can justify it,

"Leo my son, say something, what happened to you and why you are like this, today is a happy day and here you are crying like this, what is happening here, please someone will tell this to me", my dad said as he was looking at me and then glared to my mom,

"Dad", I said and before I could say anything else more tears rolled down to my cheeks, I just do not know how I will be able to handle this much pain,

"Leo, you can share anything with me please tell me what is bothering you, what happened and why you are crying like this", dad asked me with so much love and politeness and after hearing his words I just felt somehow better, I wiped my face and took a deep breath,

"Dad, mom, mom, always knows about Sara, she always knows where she was, she was aware that I was searching for her but she did not tell me anything about her, she did not tell me that she knows about her, she did not tell me, anything dad, why the hell she did that to me", I said as I was breathing hard, it was so hard for me to digest such big things of my life, my dad was so shocked after hearing my words and his were still wide as he was still looking at my mom,

"What are you saying", dad asked me and I slowly nodded my head and more tears fell from my eyes,

"Yes dad, please do something, she always knows about her, please ask her about her, please dad", I requested to my dad and he once again looked at my mom and glared at her and then he helped me to get up,

"Leo, you do not need to worry about anything, soon we will find, I will ask your mom about her and if she knows about her then we will go to get her", said my dad and a wave of hope raised in my eyes and I smiled at him,

"Thank you so much dad, thanks a lot for helping me, you just know how much I love you, thanks a lot", I said to him and he caressed my hair again,

"Let us go, I am taking you to your room", said dad and helped me get in the room, it was not like I can not go by myself but I was feeling like I am not having strength, I was feeling like my legs will give up on my body and I will fell on the floor, so it was better that dad was helping me, he just opened the door and helped me inside, he just made me sit on the bed and made me drink some water,

"Are you okay now, how are you feeling now", dad asked me and I just took a deep breath,

"I am fine dad, you just promise me that you will help me to get her", I asked my dad and he just nodded his head,

"I will help you, Leo, just promise me that you will be normal at today's party, I am arranging that party for you Leo, so that you can meet all businessmen there and they could also meet you, you are my son and I just want that every single person in the city and I am ready to do anything for your happiness, you just have to cooperate me", said my dad to me and wiped my face, I just did not say anything to him but forced a smile,

"I will try my best dad, I will try to do everything for you but just ask mom about her, why did she hide such a thing from me dad, you know that everyone knows that I was so crazy, she saw my condition too but she still stayed quiet, that is not fair dad, that is not fair", I said and took a deep breath coz I just do not want to cry more, I already cried enough and now I only want to know about her as soon as possible,

"Shh, calm down my son, just calm down, I will talk to her, and I as I promised I will try my best to help you and you will also try to stay normal so that we could think about your future, you can not stay sticking with your past like that, I just know it is so hard for you to handle all these but my dear son, it is all for your sake so you just have to be brave and accept your fate, or else I am here to help you, okay", said my dad and patted my back and left the room leaving me alone, I just headed inside the bathroom and took a quick shower and headed out from the bathroom, I was somehow feeling so tired, so i just jumped on the bed and started thinking about my journey which I had, it was so tough for me to be like that, I did not know if I will be able to do this but I am glad that I did, I am still upset with what mom did to me, she should not have hide this to me, she knows that I did everything they wanted me to do but in return I only wanted one thing and that was Sara and she still hide this thing to me and I am hating it now, my eyes were getting close and slowly I just did not realize that when I

did I fell asleep,

After some time-

"Hey good evening", I heard a familiar voice and I slowly rubbed my eyes and saw Tom was standing near my bed and looking at me, I just do not want to get up so soon, I was feeling like sleeping more but I just can not do that as I just know that Tom was waiting for me and he is here for me and I feel bad when I scold him for nothing but he never minds anything,

"Come on, get up Leo, it is already evening and you are still sleeping, just get", he said to me but I changed my direction and closed my eyes again, I was feeling like I can sleep for some more time,

"Let me sleep for some more time, please Tom, just five more minutes at least", I said in my sleepy voice but he just removed my duvet and I just opened my eyes and glared at him, now he is doing something for making me angry and I just do not want to get angry,

"Leo, did you forget that today is a party at your house and also that party is for you, so it would be better that you behave like that and get up from the bed", Tom scolded me and made me reminded about the party, I just know that dad is so excited for this party and he said that it is for me but what I feel is this party is not for me, it is for dad and it was always for him, he wants to show his reputation and my presentation to the world, he wants me introduced to the whole world so that he could show that he is powerful and he could do anything he wants and here I am not even feeling like there is a party and that is for me,

"Hey, what the hell are you thinking now, just go and wash your face", he said to me and helped me to get up, and I headed towards the bathroom and Tom just jumped on the bed, I just forced a smile coz he is no doubt stupid but still I like him a lot as he takes care of me like a brother and I do not know if I could ever get someone like him in my life, I washed my face and looked myself in the mirror, my eyes were looking so red, maybe it happened coz I cried a lot today, I just know that I can not be weak like this but I just can not help, my heart is not ready to accept my life without her,

"Hey, did you sleep inside, what is happening, come out", I heard Tom was yelling from outside and I just wiped my face and walked out of the bathroom, I opened the door and he was looking at me as he was waiting for me there,

"What happened to you, why you were sleeping like that, you usually do not do that, you do not even sleep in the day, then what happened to now", he asked me as he was trying to observe me as he was looking straight into my eyes but I just turned my face into other direction as I just do not want him to know anything about me coz I just know that he could read my face just like an open book and I feel somehow so weird,

"Nothing much, I was just feeling so tired and also I was at home so I slept", I said but he was still looking at me like he knows that I am lying,

"Leo, do you know that I am your best friend and I can read your face as no one can do", he said and I looked at him, I just know that he will say something like this to

I and I just had to listen coz he is right,

"Hey, I just know that okay, and stop talking like that", I just tried to pass his words but he was still glaring at me,

"Oh come on Tom, now stop glaring at me and tell me why you are not ready yet", I asked him as he was here in sweat pants and a casual t-shirt, he looked at me and then smiled at me,

"Well, I am here coz I could get ready with you", he said to me and I just looked at him with a confused face, sometimes he behaves so weirdly, I just do not understand it,

"Tom, sometimes I do not understand what you do", I said to him and he just smiled at me again,

"I am not that easy to understand", he just taunted me and started changing his clothes, and I glared at him,

"Can not you change your clothes in the bathroom", I said to him as I looked in another direction but he started laughing at me,

"I am not gay bro, relax", he said and started laughing again,
