Sia couldn’t believe her eyes. The plan had actually worked.
She twirled and danced around the room with joy, not caring that she was naked. She wasn’t a narcissist.
But, when you were insulted all your life because of your looks, you can’t help but be happy when such a miracle occurs.
R was a miracle in her life. He was the one who had blown life into her stone-cold body. He was the one who had given her life a direction, and now he had liberated her from lifelong shame and insult.
Sia was stunned when she felt the familiar tingling sensation. What was R doing here? She grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the prying eyes of the onlookers. She started running, forcing him to run alongside. R swept her off her feet while on the go, and they were at her cottage in a matter of seconds. *What do you think you were doing, R? Have you forgotten that you are supposed to keep your identity a secret?*Sia reprimanded him the moment they reached her bedroom.
Sia paced up and down in her bedroom. She had bolted out of Myra’s house. She was sure that R could never kidnap Tina but could she be sure about the other Viridians?She had to find out the truth. She turned her wardrobe inside out in search of her jacket. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found the bottle of little pills. She had sneaked the bottle out of R’s jacket while he was carrying him. Popping half a pill into her mouth, she kept the bottle back into the pocket. She rushed out of her house wearing the jacket on the way. If Tina was abd
Sia was sitting on the couch with a forlorn expression. It was as if her soul had been sucked out from her. Her hands lay limp on her lap, her face expressionless, and her eyes had lost all their shine. She narrated everything from the beginning in a mechanical voice. At this point, she didn’t care if all the people in the world were annihilated. “Sia! How could you do this? We have always been there for you, and you hid such an essential piece of information from me. If you had told me about the Viridians beforehand, Tina would have been kidnapped.” Wrick said with a frustrated expression.
All through the night, Sia was engrossed in her Uncle’s Diary. A storm of emotions brewed in her as she read about her parents, their dreams, their sacrifices.She never spent much time with her parents, but this diary gave her an insight into what her parents desired. Tears streamed down her cheeks freely as she read about them. Her heart was filled with an intense longing for them. The memories of the little time she spent with them filled her mind. She sobbed, sniffled, and cried her heart out as if trying to wash away the years of despair, the years
Sia heaved a sigh of relief when R moved ahead without even throwing a glance at the rock. The pill had worked. But, she felt like her heart was being crushed between massive boulders. Today, she was going to kill him with her own hands. With that, her soul would be sucked out of her too. She was going to choose the path of thorny nettles, blazing cinders, an eternity of suffering. When she saw the next group of Viridains, she got out from behind the rocks and bumped into them. She didn’t want to delay it any longer. It would weaken her resolve.
Sia felt someone push her, and before she knew it, she was falling down the cliff. She felt a ringing sensation in her ears as the bomb detonated. R’s terrified expression and his eyes full of concern were engraved on her mind forever. “Ahhh!!!” A scream erupted from her throat as she felt her head hit the ground. “Sia…Sia….Are you all right? Please wake up, Sia.&rdqu
TWO WEEKS LATERON THE MAINLANDSia stood outside what she assumed to be a door. However, it was so well camouflaged that she found it difficult to tell it apart from the wall.Her heart beat as if it would just pop out of her chest. She could feel sweat trickling down her forehead.The irregular beating of her heart resonated in her ears. She hadn’t felt like this even when her life was at stake, but this time t
“You can take off the chip now. So, it’s true then. You have no memories after you hid in the boat.” Yorick said, looking at Sia earnestly.Sia had to struggle to maintain a somber expression. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. The pill had actually worked. She felt like jumping up and down.Yorick heard only those thoughts that Sia had projected towards him. She knew it worked on Viridians but still…she had never tried it on human beings.
