2021-05-15 02:54:42As soon as wife word escapes from Brian’s mouth, everything seems to be stopped for a while especially for Daulat. He shocked and puzzled equally. Whatever Brian was doing inside that room, was not acceptable for Daulat at all. He felt uneasy and he wanted to just slam the door open and kick the man trying to come close to Jerika for no good reason at all. He was sick but his actions were getting sicker moreover he must have really hurt his head. All this time he was looking for his wife and now he is calling Jerika his wife. He must be nuts, according to Daulat. Daulat was barely trying to control his anger and frustration when he watched Brian kissing Jerika’s hand and she let him. She even felt pleased somehow which was not very convincing and descent thing in Daulat’s eyes and even with his every nerve screaming to run inside and snap that man as he deserved, Daulat waited as it was what Jerika told him to do and he was the slave of his constant habit to mend h

RUMMAGE Remembrance
“Trying to find something” Antoine asked when he saw Jerika searching something inside the flowers she received that morning.“No, not really!!! Just admiring the beauty of these beautiful flowers” Jerika said with a smile. She looked at the flowers with admiration. They were her favorite. Antoine takes step closer to Jerika where she was standing. He still had that card which he takes out from the bouquet. It was behind the file he was holding. He wished to confront Jerika at that time but after giving it a deep thought, he decided against it. If Jerika is trying to hide something then she will not easy give it away just because of some confrontation especially by Antoine. Antoine needs to be smart about it and he needs to be careful to get ahead Jerika as Jerika was acting smart and unusual. Though Antoine knew Jerika from many years but he was still not sure if he knew her well. You can never predict anything completely about a person and Jerika, sh

Jerika had not much experience but hospitals food tends to be boring in every way. Hospital does not allow food from outside but she can easily sneak small bag of chips in her huge bag she always carry although she was not sure if she should really do something like that but she was willing to something… anything for Brian. He made her feel happy somehow.Antoine waited for Jerika to return with her shopping. He was not sure if he was doing the right thing by following Jerika but what choice he had. He was also not very sure if he will get any information by following Jerika but surely he had no choice in that matter too. He waited for twenty minutes and after that Jerika came back with some bags. She drove again and Antoine continued to follow her. Antoine stopped her car when he w

Brain opened his eyes and firstly looked at the ceiling. He smiled because he knew that Jerika was looking at him. He can feel her stare and he can feel her presence. 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?” Jeri

“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.

***** 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

RUMMAGE Broken hearts and Broken trusts
“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. But Brian also knew he cannot run away from the truth… the least he could do was to find out what the commotion was a;; about in the first place.

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. He was overwhelmed but his eyes were determined as he knew deep inside him Jerika will be fine and no matter how serious her condition is, she will make it and come back to life. She is lot more stubborn to be defeated by death so easily. He looked at her for few seconds and then he took her hand in his hand and pressed it light

Everyone was evidently worried and there were low whispers. Antoine was standing away from the crowd to avoid their gazes which were accusing him for Jerika’s fallen health.

She went to the bathroom to get prepared for the day as she chose not to miss it.“You getting ready for office?” Isabel said to Jerika rubbing her sleepy eyes.“Yes… what are you doing getting up so early in the morning? 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. She too felt like shedding tears but she composed herself and decided to stay strong.“You are my wife!!!” Brian asked as if he was trying to confirm.“Of course I am. How else did I find you? Especially here” Sandra sai
RUMMAGE Trust issues
Antoine was standing and looking at Isabel and Daulat whereas Daulat was trying to pacify crying Isabel. 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. It was an emotionally trying time for Isabel and she was not handling the situation too well. Daulat noticed Isabel and her stat

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
