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.
Sia stood there, staring at the empty room. Her mind went blank. Even the interrogation room was lavishly furnished in comparison.Out of nowhere, a voice boomed, “You have a visitor, Miss Sia. Do you want to allow her in?”“Who is it ?” I asked reflexively.The wall lit up with an image. she saw a cute girl dressed vibrantly. Then she heard a melodious voice, “I am Zora, madam. Mr. Yorick has sent me. He forgot to
She had an idea. She could just conjure up a fridge. Maybe it would be pre-loaded with food. Funnily enough, there was no option of the refrigerator on the ROD. Sia had only one option now. She had to call Zora. She knew she would sound like an idiot. But, If she didn’t call her now, she would die of hunger. On receiving my call, she agreed to come as soon as possible. Sia’s liking for Zora intensified. She was such a sweet and helpful girl.Zora’s hologram appeared on the screen a few moments later, and Sia let her in. “What is the pr
Sia woke up with a start. Tears streamed down her eyes. An intense feeling of grief gripped her. The guilt of betraying R was eating her from inside.She felt like she deserved to be in pain, but for now, she had to focus on this mission. She couldn’t let his sacrifice go waste.The setting of the room was juxtaposing Sia’s mood. The liveliness and beauty of the room held no appeal for her. So she changed it to a simple one. Now it was time to get ready. Yorick would return any minute. Sia stepped into the shower, hoping to wash away all my sorrow.
She sat with a thump on the floor and buried her head in her hands. She sat there like that for a long time. Suddenly the words, “ SERENGHAYO LIBRARIAN” flashed through her mind. Why had Wrick used that specific address? It was a very unusual statement. He usually addressed her by her name. Why did he choose to call her a librarian? She wondered if he was giving her a clue about something. Driven by curiosity, Sia went to check out the library. It would be a good idea to start reading some books to ge
