Pirates

Part XV Steve got me a coffee and sat by my side on the dinner table. He was staring me that made me feel uncomfortable. “Stop, looking at me like that.” I said and tried to hide my face. “Sorry, but it’s still something I can’t believe.” He said. “I know, even for me it was hard to believe for the first time, but when I found the results after investigation my dreams were proven correct.” I said. “So, you are saying you saw everything in dream. Even if I believe it..” Steve was saying with a little hesitation while I interrupted him “No one would believe me.” I said with pain that was visible in my eyes. He nodded in yes. “I know, but now the only thing that is important for me is would you believe me or not.” I asked him. I knew it was hard for him to answer. He replied to comfort me, “I would.” “Liar, don’t worry I would give you a proof before you say – I would.” I winked at him and stood up. “Proof...How?? When???” He asked in surprise. “Well, I think in a couple of days...

Part XIV Life is so strange when our heart starts to overcome the pain of past, something or the other would happen that would drag you back into the same point from where you started. Memories of past floated in my eyes, the time when I was young and played with my dad, the lullabies he used to sing for me, our field trips and glimpses of the accident that happened 8 years ago. The truck striking us and our car falling down from the bridge and struck the water of the river. I woke up suddenly as if I was drowning in the water numb and suddenly came to senses and floated to the surface. I realised I was in hospital with Steve by my side . “Are you alright?” He asked me with concern. “Dad, my dad.....dad...” these were the only words came out from my mouth. Steve hugged me tightly and said “Everything would be fine, don’t think to much. It’s okay. It will be okay.” In the meantime Andrew entered the room and caressed my hairs. Both of them standing by my side gave me comfor...

Part XIII “I just can’t imagine how he was about to give up on the case?” I commented while restlessly walking in the drawing room. “He is not a person to give up, I’m sure it must have been very hard for him.” Steve favoured him. “I don’t believe this. Even if it was I hard I would never give up on my family member, never ever.” I said with rage. “Do you think that he gave up?” Racheal said while bringing coffee for us. She kept the tray on the table and passed a cup to Andrew and another Steve. “He probably knows that his any wrong move would end  3 lives. He didn’t gave up, he is just protecting them.” Racheal said handing over the coffee cup to me. For a minute I was dumbstruck. She turned back. I don’t know why I felt I hold a big responsiblity now. “I would get them back safe and sound.” I said. Racheal looked at me, so were the others. I turned towards her, “I would do it no matter what?” Seeing my conviction, Steve and andrew accompanied, “We would”. “Atleast I would do...

Part XII It was morning when I opened my eyes. I realised I was in the drawing room. Ouch! My neck hurts. I turned to my left, it was Steve sleeping beside me. I felt so thankful to him for staying by my side yesterday. I remembered how he saved me, he was there when I woke up in the hospital, how relived I felt when I saw him outside my house, how he comforted me when I saw my past memories and was shattered. Looking at him like this gives a weird feeling. I slowly tried to caress his hair, but as soon as my hand reached near his face he opened his eyes. He looked at me and my hand. Gosh, it’s so embarrassing. I knocked his forehead hard and said “It was a mosquito on your head.” And quickly stood up. “Ahh! But it was quite hard,” he said caressing his forehead. “Sorry…. Let me get some tea for you, while you can go ahead freshen up.” I said and hastily moved to kitchen. God, if it goes like this one day I would be badly embarrassed in front of him.
