The burning sky

Chapter 17

"So that's it, tomorrow we will finalize everything. The coffee you served was terrible, I want it again tomorrow."

Rai says waving at Joseph.

Joseph smiled shyly and shook his head. All day today they roamed together, laughed, ate. Joseph saw that very few girls can have so much fun like Rai. There is no bigotry in it. She can easily blend in anywhere. Her knowledge of technology is vast, she taught Joseph a lot in one night. They discussed various filters, starting with how to trick the camera frame. Rai complimented his hair color endlessly. It suits him too much. They also discussed the history of his neck tattoo. Rai is very fond of tattooing, but she is afraid of needles. All in all it was a great day.

"Well, I am going for today. It's already late, there's work to do. Stay well."

Joseph pulls Rai's hair one time and leaves after saying the words. Rai smiled and stopped on her way to Suparna's house. Rex did not call her tonight! Now it's eight o'clock at night, don't she go now! It will let her sleep the rest of the night. There is a lot of work tomorrow morning. Hesitatingly she entered the building. What Rex will do to her if she come quickly! He will not get her out right! The rest will be seen!

She reached the twenty-eighth floor and opened the door by touching the card to the doorknob. Today the drawing room is completely dark, not a single light shines anywhere. Is Rex got out somewhere ! Is he wants to surprise her! Thinking about it, Rai went forward and sat down on the sofa. She has no idea about the light switch here. So there is no question of turning on the lights. Where to find the switch board or in the dark!

The apartment is completely quiet, except for the sound of water falling from the huge bathroom on the right. Rex is taking a bath! Who bathes in the cold at night! The weather is different here ! Rai sat on the sofa thinking. Let's wait when the Lord takes a bath and shows up!

But after twenty minutes of waiting, when the sound of falling water does not stop and Rex does not come out, Rai's tonk is shaken. She stumbled towards the bathroom. Is something happened to him ! He has a lot of tension in mind Rai knows.

The bathroom door is open, the rug is wet. Only a pale light shines inside. Inside the shower stall, Rex is sitting with his knees bent under the water. He had not left any clothes on the stand, that means he was not taking a bath. With his head between his knees, the entire bathroom was dripping with water. That means, the shower has been going on for a long time. Exactly how long Rex is sitting under the cold water in Konkan!

"Sweety! What happened!"

Rai somehow rolled up her pants and stepped into the water and turned off the shower. Her feet froze in the cold.

"Why did you stop?"

Rex asked in a heavy voice without raising his head. Rai looked at him in surprise.

"What does it mean! Do you Know the temperature outside! Who bathes in such cold water in that much cold for so long! You will be sick!"

Rai said. Rex sits in the same way.

"Nothing happens to me."

A short answer came to him. Rai couldn't hold back anymore and pulled his icy cold wet hands,

"Get up, wipe yourself off and change your clothes before you get your head down. I'll make some tea and coffee, then we'll talk."

She said in a worried voice. Rex raised his head slowly. Rai was taken aback by his swollen red eyes and sallow face.

"Sweetie you cut your hair! Why?"

She asked in surprise. She felt a lot of pain. Even this morning she ran his fingers through Rex's hair happily. What happened suddenly!

"You got more beautiful hair."

Rex says slowly. His white shirt is dripping wet, every fold is exposed, a beautiful sight to behold, but Rai shivers in fear. What is Rex saying!

"What are you talking about! You know how much I like your hair! What have you done!"

Rai shakes his head with her hand. Rex stares at her but doesn't feel the need to stand up.

"Favorite, no more. Neither am I."

He said slowly. Rai knelt before him in the water.

" What do you mean! What happened to you sweety ! Tell me a little! Maybe I can fix everything "

She said in a pleading tone. As if Rex is looking for something in her eyes, Rai feels that he is shaking a little.

"You can have whoever you want... I was never good enough for you, you're addicted just for sometime."

He said slowly breaking down. Stunned Rai looked at him with surprised eyes. What happened to Rex! Why is he saying these things!

"I don't understand anything."

Rai said holding Rex's hand. Rex took her hand and touches his neck, chest, stomach with it, Rai pulls her hands away before going down further.

"I couldn't give you what you wanted from me. You have to leave."

Rex says coldly. Rai's whole body shuddered at the way he spoke, as if she was sitting in a morgue.

"Sweetie, please stop teasing me! I don't know much about spinning words like that. Tell me straight up what happened? Did someone say something to you? Did I offend you? Tell me, I'll fix it. But if I do not understand something, what could i do! I can not see you like this, don't you know! Why you do that? It hurts me! "

Rai said shaking Rex's shirt collar. Rex pulls her into his lap, his wet and cold clothes smother Rai endlessly, but she doesn't make a sound.

"Joseph is much prettier than me isn't he!"

He whispers. Rai's eyes widen, she remembers the incident of the afternoon, removing the ribbon from Joseph's hair, braiding his hair, Rex saw it all!

"No, never."

She said slowly, instead Rex's fist hit the floor with a thud, finger bursting and bleeding. Rai gets up and grabs his hand.

" You lie to me! I know everything, I understand everything, but I don't want to accept it. I think that your charm is only for me, but I forget that a flower cut by an insect can never attract a beetle. She kindly comes and sits for a while, but flies away again when she gets a beautiful flower. "

This is the first time that Rex has spoken so much together. Rai stares at him in horror.

"No one can attract me except you sweetie."

She says, touching Rex's cheek with her finger, kissing his earlobe repeatedly.

"False, I don't agree."

Rex gritted his teeth while looking at Rai. This was the first time Rai saw his expression unfold. Anger - Sadness - Despair is a wonderful mixture of this expression, you can't turn your eyes away.

"You have to agree. You don't even know how precious you are to me, so do it! What happened to you for whom you are! What would you do better!"

Rai said hitting her forehead. Rex looked at her for a long time.

"If you get me completely tonight, you won't see anyone else from tomorrow right!"

He said in a low voice. Rai looks at him in shock. The boy's mind is complete cracked.
