Laurain wore a red knee length off shoulder beautiful dress and put her hair in simple bun wore her red heels and went down the stairs. Tom was already waiting for her in his black suit in which he looked really handsome.
They reached the Long's mansion were the reception was held. Laurain didn't bother asking anything to tom. The reception went smoothly taking pictures and talking with the relatives.
Tom dropped Laurain to her house and went home.
After taking a bath tom started to look at the pictures in his phone which the photographer send him.
He was looking at all the pictures one by one when laurain's picture caught his eyes.
He stared at the picture for a while, his hand subconsciously touched his lips.
It was already late at night laurain took a long relaxing bath and went to sleep taking her medicine.
For a peaceful sleep Laurain often took sleeping pills and antidepressants no one knew that she took these medicines except him.
The next day Laurain woke up by 8am, wore her usual black shirt with black skinny jeans with simple black wedge heels, taking a maroon blazer and her only maroon hand bag, she left for the company.
She never payed attention to fashion and styles, nor did she pay attention to any fashion trends going on, as she had other important things, but she still tried to dress accordingly.
She, however, always managed to attract attention no matter how low-key she dresses.
Laurain was busy in the files, when Lena came to call her for lunch, Laurain didn't want to go but on lena's insistence she went to the office canteen.
It was really noisy there, but just as she stepped in the canteen there was pin drop silence.
Lena felt a little awkward as everyone was looking in their direction now,
"What is she doing here?" A female employee said.
"Is she going to even check on us even in lunch time?"
"From now on I will start to do my work even in lunch time, as long as, she just doesn't fire me"
People starting whispering among themselves.
But Laurain was unfazed, she went ahead ignoring them, took her food walked to a corner empty place and began her lunch, not once did anyone spoke loudly during this time, lena was just behind her.
She really didn't have any choice other than ignoring them just like Laurain.
After a while when everyone made sure that she is not here to fire anyone, but to have a simple lunch,
the hustle bustle returned eventually, but their attention was still on her.zz
"You should drop this cold attitude for some time" lena said trying to start a conversation.
"Hmm" Laurain replied
It's really difficult to talk to her.
Lena sighed.
But to her surprise Laurain said
"I am like this, if my face seems cold to them its not my fault"
Lena couldn't control herself from laughing out loud.
Laurain paused seeing her laugh
Did I c***k some type of joke.
She stared at her waiting for her to explain.
"Its not that, umm how should I say this... i mean try to smile a little...whenever they see you they think you're going to fire them" lena replied moving her index finger across her neck trying to state her point.
Laurain was never good with dealing with emotions, near her there were 4 types of people,
1.Business related people, similar to enemies, no emotions involved.
2.Family, including her close friends and Morgan's family, whom she had to protect at all costs also treat kindly and respectfully.
3.Children's who deserve all the kindness, love and gentleness.
4.And loyal people,mostly including people working under her, for whom she had to be responsible.
Lena knew that she was never good with dealing with these kind of situations so she tried to explain her. Lunch time passed by quickly discussing some work related matters.
After completing her work, Laurain went to the academy to grab her things in the dorm, as she will be going tomorrow for further training, and some documents, she also reported to Sir Allison.
Taking her clothes and some belongings which she had there she went home, freshened up changed in her another black shirt and pants, and went out again she grabbed a sandwich from subway and started her journey towards a small town.
The town was located in a river valley. The small beautiful town only covered an area of 2.82km square, with a population of nearly 1000 people.
The town is well known for its beauty as it is surrounded by tree-covered hills in every direction. Its a best place to take a scenic drive through the farmlands and small but charming downtown area.
It takes almost 7 hours to reach there from city M.
Laurain reached there by 3am, after a continuous drive of seven hours she stopped near a small cemetery near the town.
She entered the empty cemetery, the watchman was not present at the moment, only the sound of crickets could be heard.
Laurain wore a long black coat reaching till her knees and a black scarf that covered her head.
She walked further in the cemetery, after walking for a while she took a right turn. There were only 5 graves there of a family, the long family,
Stephen Long
Kate Midred Long
Mia Long
Vauren Long
Rain Long
She put the 4 white lilies that she bought on their graves, leaving one out, standing infront of them she began.
"geldim"(turkish language)
"biraz daha"
"sözümü yerine getirecegim"
"aile"
"seni...seni çok seviyorum ailem"
Dressed in complete black, in the chilly weather, cold wind hitting her face, her coat blowing in the opposite direction, hands in her coats pockets, talking on her own, she looked really lonely, her eyes depicting sadness and sorrow, her loneliness.
Unknown to her the man behind the tress, watching her every step, unknowingly felt extremely uncomfortable, rather he felt really sad for some unknown reason.
There was a small woodland besides the cemetery which looked really eerie specially at night.
Staying there for a while laurain decided to go back.
When laurain left the man hidden, came out and started to report the incident to his boss.
The woman who took care of laurain when she was a child also stayed in this town with her nephew, Laurain decided to pay her a visit. The woman's routine was very strict, she naturally wakes up at nearly 5am in the morning, so she would be awake by know as it was already 4:30 am.
When laurain reached near her house. She saw the old lady mopping the floor of the small open courtyard. She was almost 50 years old, dressed in ragged, old clothes she looked more like a servant.
Laurain parked her car a little away and decided to walk towards her house, as she neared she heard the shouts coming from the house,
"You old lady, you didn't washed the dishes, and where is franks breakfast don't you know he had to go to work, taking care of you is already a burden atleast do these chores know will you"
A young women shouted, the old lady sighed in and was about to go inside when
"Anne"(a turkish word used for mother)
The old lady beamed at hearing the voice of her most beloved person. The small daughter that practically she raised.
She turned around and walked towards her. Laurain also came forward and hugged her immediately.
"What are you doing? Isn't this your nephews house? Are they making you work like this?"
She knew she can't lie to her so she didn't say anything just tried to divert the topic.
"How are you here? Did you came to see me?" She asked.
In reply to which laurain just hummed.
Meanwhile the women inside came out,
"Hey you! Didn't you hear when i called you, your ears are rusted as well"
Laurain was about to move towards her when stella stopped her
"Leave her, she is a blabber mouth"
When the women heard this she raised her hand to slap her.
But before she could do that she was pushed back by Laurain.
"We're going" Laurain announced. She took Stella's(the old women) hand and began to move towards her car.
The women again came behind them
"Where are you going? Who are you? Where are you taking this old hag who would do the house chores now, stop"
Just as she extended her hand to grab the old woman's hand.
Laurain turned around and slapped the women right across her face, with so much force that she fell down and her lips were busted.
Laurain stared at her coldly
"Next time I won't be merciful"
"Come on anne"
The car ride was silent, neither laurain asked anything nor she said anything. They ate some pancakes for breakfast in a small restaurant.
" anne , if you are tired we can stay in a hotel for some rest"
Laurain started
"Child, Just leave me home, where would I go?
"You're coming with me, i live alone"
"But thats my nephews house"
"Am I not.... anything for you, yo...you.... are like my mo..mother" Laurain stuttered.
Laurain really loved her alot.
No one spoke anything.
"If you want to live here i will buy you a house but you are not going there to live with that b***h"
Laurain spoke after a while,strictly.
Stella knew there was no way of laurain agreeing with her so she gave up.
"Fine, fine lets go, i am also tired living with them"
Laurain smiled and started her journey towards city M.
"I am going out of city for some time with my group, you know for further training, my flight is at 2pm, if you are okay with it, shall I speed up a little"
She really cared for her.
The old lady's heart was warmed by her caring attitude.
"You still came here knowing you had a flight next day, its already 6:30 how will you reach there on time, you are really reckless"
"Anne"
" you should speed up, i am fine"
"Actually, I really like driving fast, it was my dream to be a racer...."
"Really?" Laurain confirmed,
The whole ride the two women talked and laughed. The hour long journey came to an early end with only after 5 hours.
By the end, stella was resting on the back seat, probably sleeping.
....................
