He was glad to realize that Jerika kept her promise and she was their when he woke up he was not left alone as he was used to in that hospital lying in that very bed. He had someone know who waits for him rather than him waiting for someone to come to him. That very thought was peaceful.
“You seem very fresh. I bet you had a good night sleep. Don’t you!” Jerika asked Brian who stood up in a sitting position and looked at Jerika with nice, sweet, lovely smile he wore naturally by looking at her and Jerika reciprocated with the smile equivalent to Brian’s but then Brian’s smile faded when he started thinking something particular. Jerika looked at Brian’s face but she was really worried what might be bothering the man in front of her.

“What’s wrong?” Jerika asked with concern when she saw that Brian looked worried and in deep thought.“Who is Antoine?” Brian asked. Jerika was surprised to hear Antoine’s name from Brian.“How do you know Antoine? Do you remember him now?” Jerika asked Brian in hope so that he could say yes.“Do I have to remember him? Is he an acquaintance to me?” Brain asked and Jerika realized that it was not time yet to unravel Antoine’s truth. She still had long way to go and rummage further.“I will tell you everything I know but firstly you need to tell me from where did you picked up that name?” Jerika asked Brian curiously.“I heard it in my head when I was sleeping. You were talking about him” Brian said in confusion. Jerika understood what happened.

Daulat stopped the car in front of Jerika’s house. Jerika looked at Brain on the back seat that had fallen asleep. He was on lot of medicines and sedatives which might have been the reason; he was knocked off so easily. He looked in peace. Jerika did not want to disturb Brian’s peace of mind as long as he has it but she was too despising the fact that she had share his presence with Daulat, whom she almost forget also sitting in the car. Jerika noticed that Daulat was looking at the house so intensely that he might be able to pierce the walls with just his stare. Jerika knew what was bothering him and she assumed that all this will lead to another fight and disagreement. It was both distressing and disappointing.“Come outside” Jerika told Daulat in lower voice by signing him to move out.Daulat was about speaking something but Jerika was quick to stop him.“Not here” Jerika said like a warning. Both, Jerika and Daulat looked

***** Brian’s POV (Point of view)… ***** Brian woke up and when he felt soothing and pleasant smell of flowers. His eyes were still closed as he was too tired to open them. He moved around the bed he was sleeping on and he touched the soft fabric lay under him. He was not used to that and neither to the sweet fragrance. Hospitals do not smell like that and neither do they smell the way he smelled the surrounding. This had only one explanation; he was no longer in the hospital. He liked that thought very much. He liked that feeling. His senses were alerted when he heard creaking voice of door’s opening. He woke up instantly to look at the intruder in his pleasure but he was not mad to seen Jerika coming inside. He could not be more pleased than he already was. There was something about Jerika which attracts Brian towards her and the attraction and pull he felts, he knew was not one sided. Jerika feels it too. It has been Brian who has been acting on his emotions and he did wh

Antoine reached his home and ran inside. He took a breath of relief once he was inside. Antoine made sure to lock the door twice. He walked in opposite direction looking at the locked door and bumped with something… someone. Antoine was startled and he responded defensively. Isabel founded Antoine in a weird manner. He looked tired and scared. He was acting different.“What is wrong?” Isabel asked with concern.“Nothing… I got surprised. That’s it” Antoine said belittling the matter. He went inside in the kitchen and pours himself a glass of cold water. Isabel followed him inside the kitchen.“What do you mean you got surprised? You looked scared of something besides what is there to get surprised or scared?” Isabel demanded answers from Antoine.“I did not… I am sorry Bells… my mind was somewhere else so when I bumped onto you, I took it as a surprise. It was nothing else”

“What? What is it?” Jerika asked by waving her hands in air.“You said two years” Daulat told Jerika making her realize that Brian was not aware of that fact.“Why would you say two years?” Daulat asked in confusion.“Because it has been two years since your accident” Daulat answered plainly. He had no difficulty and no dilemma in telling truth to Brian. All the concern and crap about his health and condition did not matter to him until it become really essential for Jerika to know and reveal the truth. But Daulat knew Brian was tougher than he looks. He had seen it. Brian looked weak and feeble because of being in hospital in bed for two years with nothing but liquid intake through syringes and pipes but ever since he was back to his senses and was conscious, he was growing tough and strong both physically and mentally. Only an idiot will consider him fragile but Daulat was smarter to be called one.“

Jerika went to see Daulat. He was lying on couch with his eyes closed. Jerika sat on an adjacent seat. Brian was nowhere to see. He might have retired for the night. Jerika was tired too. She needed sleep but difficulty was she could not. She could not forget about the response from Brian she got few minutes earlier. She did not get it. She needed to get it out of her system. She needed to talk about what happened so that she could make out something from it. She was hoping she could speak to Daulat about it but he was resting. “You are thinking a lot” Daulat said making Jerika jump out of her thoughts. “You are not sleeping!” Jerika said in amazement. “Are you?” Daulat said. “I thought you were asleep” Jerika whispered. “Why are you here then?” Daulat said. “You should not sleep here. Go, sleep in the guest room” Jerika said. “Then where will you make Brian sleep?” Daulat asked looking at the roof. “This house has many

Jerika ran inside her house and screamed Daulat’s name in panic. Daulat came out of the guest room once he heard her. “What is it?” Daulat asked in concern. Jerika saw Daulat with a gun in his hand. “What is that?” Jerika asked while pointing towards the gun Daulat was holding in defensive manner. Daulat read too much intensely to the situation and the situation was intense but in a different manner. “Protection” Daulat answer glancing in every direction for any threat. He looked like an alert soldier ready to strike on enemy’s base. Jerika wanted to react more but at that time she had more important concern. She looked around in hope to find Brian but Brian was nowhere to found. Jerika was started to freak out and Daulat was getting tensed looking at Jerika. “What’s wrong? Why did you scream like that? What are you looking for?” Daulat asked Jerika who was looking all tensed up and worried. “Brian” Jerika said only one word as

“What proof is it? Can it prove his innocence?” Brian asked. “No… not really. But it helps in proving someone else’s involvement” Jerika said. “Who?” Brian asked. “You… it is the proof against you” Jerika answered. “I want to look at this proof. I want to know why you so persistently believe my involvement in your late husband’s demise” Brian said. Jerika had been blaming him and Brian was more than eager to know why? Brian knew he was not a saint and he silently prayed that whatever the proof Jerika holds against him should not be enough. He remembered nothing of the sot Jerika was talking about but Brian knew exactly what he was capable of and that worried him. He did not wish to become the reason of causing pain to Jerika.

He looked around to see if there was someone around to stop him entering the room as it was restricted as per doctor’s instructions.Daulat sneaked inside Jerika’s room. She was asleep but still breathing and that counts everything at that moment. Daulat sat on the side of her bed and caresses her head and hair out of love and care.

Get some more sleep” Jerika said while fixing her hairs.“Aren’t you tired?” Isabel asked leaning on the door to take support. Isabel was exhausted and under after effect of alcohol consumption.“I am and mostly I am hammered from last night. Don’t know how will I get through the whole day?” Jerika said with a faint smile.“Why don’t take a day off?” Isabel suggested.“A lot is going on.
RUMMAGE Mending old relations
Jerika was dumbstruck when she saw some woman kissing Brian and she felt anger building in her veins when she saw no rejection from Brian. How could he just do something like that especially in front of her? Brian did take his time but he removed himself from the woman and it seemed like that woman was bit hurt when Brian pulled himself off.“You are back” woman said. Her eyes were watery which baffled Brian. “You look good”Brian smiled in irony “thanks for the complement but who are you?”“I am Sandra, your wife” woman said. Brian took a step back and stared at the woman who was claiming to be Brian’s wife. Jerika’s heart fell hearing those words.

Daulat was not comfortable in pacifying some women he barely know but he gathered that he cannot leave her alone and besides she was connected to Jerika who was still missing so she became important for Daulat but only with reason. Isabel could not believe that Antoine was being blamed for Jerika’s disappearance in the beginning but now when she heard with her own ears that Antoine took a shot on Jerika knowingly, she had nothing else to think but to question the basis of her trust on her most trusted people, on her own husband. All Isabel had were questions and chaos in mind but she was devastated even without knowing anything for sure. She was afraid that truth might be hurtful or some kind of deception and she was not sure if she could take it.

He gets a bit intimidated looking at everyone staring back at him. “Hey, boy… Are you on vacation or sight-seeing? What do you want?” Barney said in annoyance. “There is a man outside. He claims to be an attorney for Mr. Antoine Mark” the man on the door answered. “It’s Dr. Dr. Antoine Mark” the lawyer made his way and barged inside the interrogation room followed by few other officers trying to stop him entering but all in vain. “And who are you?” Barney asked rudely. “I am his lawyer and here are the o
