*******************
Life is so unpredictable. Sometimes when you yearn for some thing with all your heart you never get it, not even get close to it. You starting losing hope after you had tried your level best to attain it, have it, even a glimpse would have given you hope and courage to endure all problems.
But what could be done, we could only accept reality, accept that the things we desire are not written in our destiny.
We bury it deep down in her hearts.
But.... what is life!
Unpredictable.
Sometimes it gives us happiness and the next second its all gone.
Sometimes we're happy and the next second crying.
Sometimes it gives us the things we yearned for, desired for years, in a very unimaginable way. Rendering you speechless and dumbfounded. You didn't understand what you should do and how you should feel.
Same was the case with Laurain when she first saw David after 5 years, not knowing what to feel not knowing what to say not knowing if she was happy or sad not knowing if she felt relieved or fearful she just stared at him, whom she missed endlessly because of whom she cried for nights, because of whom she again turned numb to all feelings.
It was the same now, seeing her family after almost 16 years.
16 years she yearned for a single glimpse of them, she had missed them every single day for 16 years, she didn't even had any pictures of them not a single thing was left behind everything was destroyed, everything, leaving alone the small five year old once naive and innocent soul all alone in this cruel world.
Laurain's blanked out, tears falling from her eyes uncontrollably as she continued looking at the picture.
The first thing that came in her mind was how happy and peaceful they were looking in the picture, that was the next second replaced by them getting murdered right infront of her.
"Don't kill us"
"Pl..lea..se...le..av..e...us"
Their shouts ringing in her ears.
Laurain put her both hands on her ears, trying to stop the voices but it never stopped, not even once for the past 16 years.
Even after so many years their shouts were ringing in her ears as they cried and asked the man to spare their lives.
The most pitiful thing was everytime she wanted to remember them only that one scene came in her mind, to remember their faces in her mind she only had that one memory when they got shot, their looks when they got shot, pale and lifeless.
Her all dreams which started with them in a flower field always ended up with their death in the end.
Laurain's eyes have turned completely red by now her sclera(white part of the eye) was blood red as she continued to cry silently, big fat tears rolling down her cheeks without any control, her voice was lost.
She cried so pitifully looking at them, small soft sobs raking her body. Because of her they died. Because of her their happy family got destroyed. She should have died with them.
Laurain's first wish was to revenge them and then meet with them. She was no i***t. She knew very well whom she's going against. She is herself not sure if she would survive before taking her revenge or not.
On the other hand,
Tom was very confused as to why Laurain suddenly practically threw him out of the room. He had seen, that her eyes were slightly red, from corner of his eye. Was she going to cry but why for what reason he couldn't understand. Was she feeling sorry for his dead uncle's family but why.
The next morning.
Laurain was waiting for tom to come out of his room as it was early morning. She hadn't slept a wink last night. Unlike other girls who sleep soundly after crying their heart out, she couldn't sleep, her insomnia kicked in.
She calmed down and controlled her emotions. She was naturally a cold person.
Tom came out of his room in his pajamas he just freshened up and was about to go check on her. But seeing her sitting in the lounge he was a little shocked. He came and sat near her on the sofa.
"Are you alright? Is there something you want?" He asked, concerned.
Laurain maintained her cold face.
"I want to ask something."
She said looking straight in his eyes.
"Ask? What do you want to ask?"
Tom asked confused looking at her serious face.
"About Stephen Long's family"
She said.
There was something she wanted to confirm. And tom was the best person to ask.
"What is it?" Tom asked curiously. He wanted to know what is so important that she wanted to ask early in the morning.
"What happened to them?"
"Huh?"
"You said they were..dead" Laurain said reminding him about last night.
"Oh! Thats what you wanted to ask" tom said carelessly, he didn't knew she wanted to know about them. He was never close with them nor did he cared what happened with them.
Laurain seeing his attitude narrowed his eyes. She was controlling herself from showing him his place. She composed herself. Her self restraint was creditable.
Laurain looked at him seriously, waiting for him to answer her.
Tom in his carefree attitude said
"I wasn't close with them but many years ago they were killed my mother only received news that they have died somehow( he shrugged his shoulders)... I don't know much they had an elder daughter....what was her name(he put his index finger on his forehead, thinking) mai...Mia. Yes her name was mia she was very over and I didn't like he.."
"Shut Up" Laurain cutted him off, she was gritting her teeth. She really wanted to kill him at the moment.
Tom was startled by her he looked at her wide eyed and he felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at her emotionless cold eyes, as if he was being stared at by a snake who could kill him any moment.
"You shouldn't talk bad about.....dead people" Laurain gritted out.
Before tom could say anything,
"So didn't your uncles investigate or tried to know about them. What happened to them? How they.."
"No they didn't, I was also confused as to why they didn't report it to the police or something but they didn't do anything."
Tom's answer was opposite to what she wanted to hear. She already knew why they didn't searched for them. They didn't care whether they lived or died.
Tom continued bringing her attention back to him.
"But later on I came to know that they were offered a huge sum of money. Also there was their life insurance money that they got. So they didn't speak up" there was a mocking smile on his face. He was ashamed of what they did.
Laurain received not an another shock but another reason to hate them, with more intensity this time. These bastards cared about money more than lives. Laurain wanted to destroy them. They made a castle for themselves off of her parents insurance money. Not even bothering to know about them.
"Are you proud of it?" She asked him her voice was low.
She really didn't want him to be proud of it.
She........... didn't wanted to hate him.
Tom was shocked at her question. He thought she would ridicule him and his family after all they did a very cheap thing, he was ashamed of it. But he didn't thought that she will ask him this type of question. She was a good, kind girl.
Only if he knew who he was talking about.
"Why do you think I work as a small director in a simple company, in another country" he said as he looked at her with a soft smile.
Laurain was happy hearing his answer. He was not part nof it, he wasn't a completely immoral man. Laurain was relieved. She really didn't want to despise him. She smiled a little.
"Thank you" she said genuinely looking in his eyes. He was now of the few people whom she thanked.
Tom didn't knew why she thanked him. He just smiled at her, he wanted to live the moment because he has rarely seen her smile. Such a pure smile she had.
Laurain went to her room changed her clothes and went out. Tom was ordering some food when she walked out.
He could only look at the main door closing behind her.
Huh?
