Sorin immediately turned to look at me. He had a shocked expression all over his face. Even Kelvin was dumbfounded, not to talk of the Doctor and the maids who were present."How could you say such thing?" Sorin asked as he tried to hide his shaking hands in his pockets, but not before I saw it.I didn't answer him, until the doctor spoke again after putting himself together."Why did you say that, madam?" He asked, moving closer to me. "Why would you want to die when you already have what other people might want to kill for?" He asked."Well, I'm not others." I answered sharply, like one who was fed up, because, of a truth, I was completely fed up."As a matter of fact, they can kill me for all of this." I added as I gestured with my hands. "That would be better, at least I'll rest in peace, away from all this." I began to sob.He paused for a while like he was in deep thoughts. He then sighed before he started speaking again."Can you excuse us?" He asked, facing the maids.They im
Kelvin led Sorin, who was still visibly shaken by all that just happened in the room, out of the room and into his study. He immediately shut the door, locked it with the key and helped Sorin sit down in his seat.Sorin was in a vulnerable state and no one was allowed to see him that way. Never! Kelvin would never allow that. He had seen Sorin that way before but it was a long time ago when the unfortunate incident involving his sister happened and at that time it was really traumatic. It almost took the whole world to get him back to normalcy- it was really terrible back then but now it seemed like it was happening all over again.He turned to look at Sorin who was just staring at nothing in particular. It was obvious that he was far away. He had always been known to be strong and fierce but this side of him was hidden from everyone except his parents and Kelvin, who was his best friend, personal assistant and personal guard too, which explains why he knew what most people never knew
“What is happening all over again, Kelvin? Can you go straight to the point now, why are you beating around the bush for crying out loud!” Mr Zaveri yelled.“What is going on? What is happening all over again?” An impatient Mrs Zaveri asked, making Kelvin pause once again.“Wait, I hope it isn't what I'm thinking about?” Mrs Zaveri suddenly blurted out.“Hold on for a moment, honey.” Her husband said. “Let me confirm what he means first.”“Kelvin?” He called out to a silent Kelvin. “Are you still there?” He asked.“Yes sir.” Kelvin responded.“Tell me, what is going on with my son? Is it what we think it is?” He asked.“I'm afraid, it is, sir.” Kelvin responded with a completely calm tone.“Oh my God!” Mrs Zaveri yelled, indicating that she heard what he said loud and clear. “But why?” She asked as she began to sob quietly.“Are you at home?” Mr Zaveri asked, trying to act strong.“Yes sir.” Kelvin answered.“Okay, we'll be there in a jiffy.” He said, and before Kelvin could say anyth
"You witch! You slut!" Daisy almost screamed her lungs out.Seeing us in each other's embrace, Daisy screamed at the top of her voice, like she had just seen a ghost. Her face was twisted in anger and hurt as she charged towards us, well, towards me actually, like an angry bull. Thanks to Kelvin, who immediately sprung into action, holding her firmly, and preventing her from touching me. "Leave me alone! Let me go! Let me show this little witch the stuff I'm made of." She kept yelling."You think you can take what is mine from me? Never! It won't happen. I will never let it happen. I'll show you who I truly am and what I am capable of doing!" She shouted, as she tried to attack me again but this time Kelvin had to lift her while her legs kept kicking the air violently.If I wasn't the one who was about to be attacked, I would have been laughing because it was such a funny sight but it was impossible for me to laugh at that moment because I would have been battered by Daisy.Although
"And you, son, I'm highly disappointed in you. I can't believe this. I mean, to think that we rushed here for a different reason, only to be met by this act of nonsense is bizarre to me." Mr Zaveri turned to look at Sorin as he spoke to him, obviously irritated by his son's actions."How could you embarrass us like this?" He added."Father, I have done nothing wrong.""Another word from you and you'll doubt if I am your father!" He threatened, and Sorin kept quiet.Suddenly, Daisy burst into fake tears, pretending like she is hurt to gain favour."I don't know what I've done to you guys that you hate me so much, when it is obvious that your son loves me and not that cheap thrash you got for him as a wife." She said with disgust.Her words just added more fuel to the fire that was already on ground.Angry, Mr Zaveri turned to look at her and she immediately looked away."What are you still doing here? Please leave this place before I lose my temper!" He yelled at her."No matter what y
On the drive back home, Daisy was lost in thoughts. Although disappointed and hurt, she still wished she had bridled her tongue and not spoken to Sorin's parents the way she did."Damn! Haven't I just ruined my chances with Sorin with what I just did!" She muttered."All this is because of that useless girl. I'll make sure to deal with her later when I've gotten what is rightfully mine!" She said."Are you talking to me, ma'am?" The driver suddenly asked when he heard her talking, and seeing as there was no one else in the car aside the both of them, he thought she was talking to him."Did you hear me call you?" She asked rudely."I'm so sorry, ma'am." He immediately apologized and she hissed."Maybe I shouldn't have gone there in the first place." She muttered once again, biting her fingers."But I needed to see him because I had to tell him about it." She said to herself as she began to remember the reason she had visited Sorin unannounced.**FLASHBACK**"Get in." Daisy ordered Soni
**END OF FLASHBACK**I was shocked to see Sorin's mother in the room, so I stood up and began to stutter."Hi ma'am. Wel....come.... Sorry... I didn't mean.....to" Everything I kept saying made no sense and I knew. She knew I was startled and just smiled as she walked up to me. She held my hand to calm me down, while still smiling."Calm down, child. Calm down." She said to me."Take a deep breath." She added and I obeyed and this made me much better."Good day, ma'am." I greeted her, after I had managed to gather the right words."How are you doing, child?" She asked."I'm fine, thank you ma." I responded respectfully and she sighed."You're fine? Really?" She asked, trying to get me to spill whatever it was that was bothering me."Yes, ma'am." I answered."But you just wanted the world to end right before I stepped in, right?" She said and I was thrown off balance once again."Yes.....No! I mean "No"." I closed my eyes as I realized I had started spewing nonsense once again."I didn
"What do you mean by that? Weren't you planning to come?" Mr Zaveri asked but before I could respond, Sorin spoke."Please pay her no mind, we will surely be there." He assured his parents."Okay, that's better. For a moment there, I was wondering what was going on." Mr Zaveri said again and I gave a weary smile."We will be on our way now and we will see you next week, right?" Mrs Zaveri asked, to be sure."Definitely." Sorin responded."Okay then. Bye." They bid us farewell but not without Sorin's mum turning back to look at me while mouthing "Make sure you call me if anything comes up" and I just nodded with a slight smile.As they were out of sight, I made for the room but before I could take a couple of steps, Sorin's voice stopped me."And where do you think you are going?" He asked."The room, is there any problem?" I asked as I turned to look at him."Of course there is a problem." He said, "What is the meaning of the stunt you were trying to pull there?" He asked me but I did
