𖦹 Theme Song Of The Chapter𖦹
★ Ocean Eyes by Billie Eillish★
An alluring night....
The chilling north wind was passing by randomly through a darkened room.The white transparent curtains were floating in the air as the winds blow by the half opened window.
Over the pink colored bedsheet, a girl was sleeping soundly putting on a simple night gown. Her eyes were closed tightly but her sharp eyebrows were frowning together occasionally appearing an exhausted face.
Drops of sweat were slowly appearing on her forehead as her sleepy head was moving left and right vigorously as if she was recalling some haunted memories.
IRIS'S POV~
The hypocritical ringtone pierced through my eardrums breaking my beauty sleep as I jumped off from the bed panicking.
My breathing was rapid as I exhaled some long breathe to stable the state of my mind. I felt my sweat dripping from my forehead following down to my collarbone as I brushed my own palm over it.
I was having those nightmares again. what should I say? Nightmares or Memory?
I had been regularly having those pills prescribed by my psychiatrist. Still it showed no sign of stopping as I guess though she warned me previously that it would take some time to recover myself.
My phone rang again loudly.. Again I jolted at the sudden interference and mentally cursed myself for setting this creepy song as my ringtone.
Reluctantly I reached out for the phone through the amidst and finally saw the dialing screen. My heart skipped a bit and I consoled myself inwardly before tapping on the answer button.
The cold, magnetic tone echoed in my ear, " What made you so long to take the phone?Do you think that I have so much free time to call you for a whole night?"
I gulped down my fearful saliva and replied in a low voice though he was in fault, " I.. I'm sorry.. I was sleeping soundly.."
In reply, I heard his sigh of anger as I waited to hear an enlarged cursing again. Much to my surprise, his voice turned soft but serious, " I have concealed your Identity to IRIS YOUNG. Get ready for tomorrow."
I nodded without replying and parted my lips hesitantly to ask his whereabouts as I haven't seen him for a few months. Before my words could leave my tongue, I heard the beeping sound from other side.
I put down the phone and stared at the screen blankly. A bitter smile formed in my lips without my conscious as I felt my eyes tearing up.
No, IRIS.. You can't cry.. You have buried your old self years ago.. Don't shed your tears anymore..
I lifted up myself from the bed and walked towards my half opened window as it gave the best view of the busy town.
The shivering breeze welcomed my body as I felt a little cold on my sleepy face.
As I looked up in the luminous sky, a round full moon with the warming light fell on my face showering me with it's natural beauty. With a soft smile pestering on my lips, I enjoyed the peaceful view and shifted down my hazel eyes to see the top buildings in the capital.
Putting on a soft smile, I spoke softly swinging in my memories, " HELLO SILVERSTONE CITY. LONG TIME.."
The night passed by quickly. After tossing around in my bed, I fell asleep again burying my scars and pains that I couldn't share with anyone..
NEXT DAY, I woke up from a urging tiny voice beside my ear, " Mommy.. mommy.. wake up.. wake up.. It's 7..It's 7..you need to go for work.."
I shrugged nonchalantly ignoring the voice and went back to sleep burying my head inside the pillow so that his annoying voice couldn't reach my ears.
But he was already habituated with my behaviour. Thus he increased the sound of his tone and repeated the lines again and again.
I finally got up annoyingly and threw a cushion on his face yelling, " Stressed Tomato, can't you just bear to see me in sleep?"
I threw a harsh glare on my home robot who was here early in the morning to break my beauty sleep. Well, I was basically accustomed to live alone by my own.But my dear besty Daisy Maxwell was firmly against it.
She was majoring at robotic science in a renowned varsity here. At my 21st birthday, she gifted me this mini robot to take care of me. For god sake, I didn't know that what kind of program that she set up inside this robot. It always trailed me wherever I go inside my house. Even if I coughed lightly, it would call the emergency number xxx to ask for any doctor.
The worst part was that Daisy had commanded him to call me mommy. As for it's nickname, I chose to call him stressed tomato. It was tiny and round like a rolling ball along with his red painted steel material body just like a tomato.His facial expression seemed to me like a stressed one. Thus I nicknamed him as STRESSED TOMATO.
Grunting annoyingly and scratching my messy hairs, I went to open the door. As soon as my glass door opened, an intense fragrance filled up my nostrils causing me to look into the kitchen subconsciously.
And yeah, my anticipation was right.. There was she, Daisy Maxwell, my lovely bitchy best friend.
I slowly walked towards the kitchen and mumbled standing at the doorway, " What.. are you doing here early in the morning?"
She looked back at me smiling widely as her brown eyes were sparkling in excitement.Her hairs had boy cut giving off an intelligent woman vibe as she was damn talented. Her addiction had always been creating new robots.
She licked her index finger greedily wiping off the ketchup and walked over me widening her bare arms to catch me in her embrace.
I remained motionless as she pulled me into a tight hug before speaking anxiously, " Oh babe, I came to help you. This is your first day joining in the presidential team. I'm too much excited than you."
She knocked my head lightly and continued, " I knew that you are a lazy pig and won't get up early. So I thought of making this delicious dishes for you to celebrate your first day at work. "
I smiled back with gratitude and she shoved me out urging, " Now, get your ass out of here.. Jesus, you are going to be late at the first day of your work.. Hurry up.. "
I laughed before dragging my feet towards the washroom and spoke loudly, " Okay okay my dear aunty. I'm going to get ready within ten minutes."
I entered the bathroom briskly and switched on the shower as the cold water poured over my messy hairs. I exhaled some long breath to refresh my mood as my right hand subconsciously reached for the soap.
After finishing my quick shower, I stepped out from the bathroom wrapping the thick towel around my lightly soaked figure.
I walked over to the closet and pushed it open quickly. My eyes fell on the branded clothes as I frowned hard choosing the best attire.
I knew that all were branded clothes and some might be millions dollar. But those all feel cringy over my body.
Reluctantly I chose a blackberry colored sleeveless top hanging at the corner and put it down on my bed. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection blankly.
My skin was looking fresh and smooth after having the morning shower as I tried to smile. For some unknown reason, my smile looked so fake that even my eyes could tell it.
My mind reverberated those words before coming back in the city thus I sighed helplessly before forming a forceful smile.
You must seduce the president...!
Only your appearance can complete the
mission..!
Don't you dare to cross your limit..!
I will be eyeing over you always..!
I flashed away those thoughts forcefully and went for the top before unwrapping the towel around my body.
I put on the top hugging till my knees as I went to switch on the hair dryer. I applied some light make up over my face and used the concealer to hide my dark circles. I left my hairs fall down randomly and painted my lips with the red one.
Within five minutes, I finished off preparing myself as I looked back at the mirror to see my reflection and my mouth fell open in awe.
Holy shit..!!
I am looking like a seductress than an employer.
Forget it..!! They had already told me earlier that I have to put on an attractive face to impress everyone as I will be the only female employer there.
I stepped out from my room holding the pursue tightly and my other hand was carrying some documents of mine.
As I went towards the dinning table, I found Daisy waiting for me already. She grinned like a fool and whistled looking at me from head to toe as I roll my eyes on her.
I heard her flattering voice, " Oh my my! You are looking damn hot IRIS. Heez, I'm suddenly feeling worry for Mr. President and those girls who are dying over him."
I took the chair opposite her and she continued lowering down her voice like a professional gossiper, " But I heard that Mr President is asexual. Although it was random rumors but his employers are male. By the way, how did you manage to get the job as a female?"
She pointed her index finger on me and asked with a threatening tone, " Iris, are you trying to hiding from me? Or did you cast a magic spell over the president, huh? "
I choked on my orange juice vigorously and replied, " Jeez, I have never seen the president in reality except those news channel. How on earth I will know him? One of my foreign friend managed this job for me as they were looking for a female secretary."
I winked at her mischievously and added proudly, " My top-notch grades have passed the interview.. "
Well, I felt proud of myself for graduating from two different subjects at a time. I had graduated at computer science from DKL University, one of the top ten universities in the whole world. At the same time, I had graduated at English literature from another renowned university at UX state as I had a deep attraction towards it.
Daisy parted her lips to say something but I hauled up hurriedly when my eyes fell on the mechanic clock 7:40
Jeez! I can't be late.
I waved bye at her and quickly left my apartment running towards the half closing elevator as I shouted, " Wait..!"
I paused and stumped on my foot angrily for being too confident. Unexpectedly the elevator reopened and I smile lightly running into it.
I thanked the lady who considered my request to wait for me as she smiled back sweetly.
With a ding, the elevator reached at the ground floor and I rushed out without looking anywhere. Lucky I got the taxi as soon as I stepped out and instructed the driver briefly, " THE GRAY RESIDENT".
The driver gave me a closer look as he started the taxi and I focused on rearranging my documents.
About fifteen minutes later, the taxi arrived at the resident and I scooped down even not bothering to take the changes from driver.
I panted heavily as the guards checked my body to ensure the security. My black heels tiptoed on the marble floor as I made my way inside the office.
I found a boy at his twenties sitting on the reception and tapping on the keyboard professionally.
I asked gently, " Excuse me, I'm a new employee here. Can you tell me that which department I should go?"
The boy shifted his eyes from the screen and I clearly noticed the surprise flashed in his eyes.
He took a few seconds to give a reply as if he had been traumatised after seeing me.
Do I look weird?
He cleared his throat to avoid the awkwardness and nodded before responding robotically, " Yes. Take the elevator at the left and go at the 15th floor. You will find Mr.Scott's office. He is the assigned boss of you, Miss Young."
I calculated everything inside my head quickly as I'm a fast learner and ran towards the elevator without glancing anywhere.
As I stepped into the elevator, I vaguely heard the boy's voice wait but I ignored it and pressed the push button of 15th floor.
I have to reach at Mr Scott's office before 8.
My phone vibrated a bit as I took it out from the purse and saw a message from Daisy. I laughed at her dirty words and thought of sending her a reply as it would take a few seconds still to reach the 15th floor.
Suddenly the elevator flung open at the eighteenth floor as I focused on typing my keyboard and heard a man's brief conservation over the phone.
I vaguely felt a cold figure stepping into the elevator and stood just in front of me towering over my figure.
I laughed loudly when I saw Daisy's blatant reply " Just don't start licking his dick.I heard that he is damn handsome."
As I stretched out my fingers to send a reply and suddenly felt a piercing gaze on me. I lifted up my suspicious gaze..
My whole body froze as I meet those blue ocean like eyes ogling at me.
I spit out like a breathless whisper, " Mr.. Mr..President. "
IRIS'S POV~
My legs were shaking vigorously as if I had just encountered a living ghost. Suddenly the fifteen metres spacious lift seemed so small to me that I felt like I was suffocating and lacking of oxygen.
I consoled myself inwardly encouraging myself, " Breath in, Breath out, Iris. Everything is gonna be fine. It's just Mr President, Xavier Gray."
Lucky he was still connected with the phone call and didn't utter any words to me except throwing those eagle eyes on me ready to swallow me whole. I frowned slightly in dilemma and suddenly recalled that president's office had network connection even inside the lift.
But why will he appear inside my lift? Shouldn't presidents have their personal lift?
Confusion aroused across my puzzled mind as I shifted in my spot uncomfortably clutching the ironic phone in my palm.My phone beeped once again and I chopped Daisy into pieces inside my head.Soon after, he averted his eyes from me and I breathed heavenly.
My eyes caught the dark tattoo on his neck behind as I frown admiring the smooth artwork.The head of the dragon was crafted over his white skin so smoothly that it appeared out like a part of his skin not seemed like an artificial once.But one thought that I was assured about that he was indeed damn handsome and deserved to be call the national husband.
Under the white neon lights of the elevator, the straight nose of the handsome face revealed a beautiful silhouette. His thin lips were pursuing beautifully as he spit out each and every words flawlessly and sometimes used English in British accent.His navy-blue suit gave off a domineering aura like a king of hell which was engulfing the whole air of the elevator gradually.
Suddenly I felt that the elevator wasn't going too fast.
He glanced behind to see my puzzled state and my eyes again met those blue eyes crystal clear reflecting my own silhouette into it.
His eyes were too deep just like a bottomless vortex as if I would drown terribly into it which I didn't want. At least I didn't come in that intention.
Finally the elevator dinged as I dragged out my heavy body before him and I was Momentarily relieved that he was still on phone.
I just want to vanish from his gaze within a second!
As I took two quick steps ahead, a cold tone echoed in my eardrums as I closed my eyes shut in restlessness.
Damn it.. you are dead, Iris.
" Wait...!", Mr. President called me from behind as I turned back and found his dark face on me approaching slowly.
I looked around nervously and found no one nearby as the elevator was built far away from the staff's room.
I gulped down when he cut off the phone call, stuffed the brand new iphone into his pocket and stepped closer near my fragile body.
His expression seemed horrific as I nervously looked up to meet his hazel eyes.
He asked frowning hard, " Who are you? Are you the secretary handled by Mr.Scott?"
I nodded affirmatively and parted my lips to apologise but his words interrupted me first causing my heart beating abruptly.
He asked pointing on the elevator coldly, " Are you blind? Didn't you see the logo before entering the elevator? Such an undisciplined person. "
My head sank as I titled my head to see the logo blankly and damn it.
I slapped myself mentally twice!
How can you be so reckless Iris? You actually broke the rule at the first day of your work using President's elevator!
I quickly apologised before the situation goes out my hands and made a 360 degree bow, " I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, Mr President. I was in rush. Please punish me however you want."
His expression sobered up a little as I noticed it from the corner of my frightened eyes. He waved his hand dismissively and ordered, " Go report yourself to Mr. Scott's office. Remember that I don't tolerate indisciplined people. If you continue being like this nonsensical human being, you will be fired before a week."
I nodded vigorously and replied with gratitude, " Thank you, Mr. President. I won't be disobedient ever."
He hummed coldly and turned away as I heard his mumbling in a low voice, " That's why I said, women are troublesome."
I knitted my eyebrows and cursed his domineering attitude inwardly. He could have forgave me considering the fact that I was a newbie in his office.
I kept my eyes focused on his retreating back and felt somehow bewildered by his charm.Two people wearing presidential uniform rushed towards him opening the office gate for him respectively as his silhouette vanished from my vision behind the glass door.
My wrist watch suddenly beeped and my eyes went wider terribly.
Damn it! It's 8 A.M
I dragged my heavy body towards a closed door where I spotted the logo Mr.Scott.I started running towards the door bumped into someone on the way whom I didn't even bother to apologise.
My mind was in haze as I pulled open the door abruptly stepping into the office panting heavily. I sucked some long breath and realised that I didn't even knock!
Damn it! Bad Day Indeed!
I looked up nervously ready to hear another scolding but unexpectedly the man on the telephone gazed at me solemnly. His expression remained calm and nonchalant as I scratched my head out of embarrassment.
Mr.Scott continued chatting on the telephone fluently speaking in English and occasionally glanced over me. He had a handsome face, straight nose and a strange aura of a decent man.
My mind subconsciously compared him with the president as I mentally cursed myself for having weird thoughts.
Shortly after, he finally put down the phone and I initiated the conversation first fixing my top slightly, " I'm sorry, Mr. Scott. I was in bit hurry and forgot to knock the door."
I continued faking a bright smile, " Hehe.. I hope you didn't mind Mr.Scott..
I'm.."
My words were interrupted again and I heard his calm tone, " Iris Young, you are two minutes late."
I gulped my saliva nervously and he continued getting off from his office chair seriously, " Miss Young, you are aware of the fact that here, we follow some strict rules for our employees.Our president is very punctual about works and demands everything flawless. You must be heard that there are no female employees in our whole office including the headquarters. President doesn't like to be around woman. But due to some circumstances, we needed to hire a female secretary for him. Mr.Cullen suggested me to hire you but you still need to pass the president. You are quite intelligent and cunning woman as far as my investigation says. I have high hopes from you. Just don't disappoint me, Miss Young. "
I read his expression and understood the seriousness of my work. I smiled back assuringly that I would give my best and he led me towards the dragon's cave.
I mean, the president's office!
Well, I found Mr. Scott very cool man. Though his words were very straightforward but I liked the way he said that he had a high hopes from me.
We walked across the corridor and I found several men eyeing over me who were busy in working.Well not like they were drooling over me, they seemed very much surprised and curious. I offered them a warm smile but in return, they remained unfazed and held a robotic expression.
I twitched my lips sarcastically and followed Mr. Scott closely like a pet cat trailing her master.
Jeez, why are everyone so serious here!
He stopped at the entrance and ordered me to stay out of the office until he came back. I nodded like an obedient student and waited outside patiently.
XAVIER'S POV~
Fuck!
That's why I find women are troublesome!
I was having an urgent meeting with the chief commander and entered the elevator earlier.
It took no time for me to understand that this girl might be the secretary that Scott had hired for me.
Honestly I was firm against it but I needed a companion for god sake.Every time I joined a party or had any gathering with the foreigners, it required a female companion.Scott used to hire some top celebrities for me but they annoyed me so much that I even wanted to ban them from the industry.They used their own body on me like a cheap slut and wanted to get into my pants which I hated the most.
Later Scott suggested that it seemed suspicious about my sexual orientation for not having any woman beside me. Moreover I knew that who was the mastermind behind it.
It must be definitely my mom's doing. She had been persisting for a year almost to get married or find a girlfriend. But I really haven't felt any attraction towards any women till now.
I don't know why.. may be I don't feel or I don't want.!
But I would be honest to say that this girl looked different from other women that I had around me in the past. Her face was wearing a blooming aura when my eyes caught her sight. She looked like a fresh flower who was born to make everyone smile subconsciously. Though she wore a very attractive dress but her appearance still seemed like a child and girlish to me.
But something tingered in my mind when I met her drawn green eyes which never occurred to me before!
I sighed helplessly and leaned back against the head of the chair swinging in my memories.
Those vague laughter from my memory cracked in my eardrums like a upbeat music as I shot open my eyes watching Scott entering in my office.
I frowned slightly at his way and he took some large steps stopping in front of my desk. His professionalism was always top notch as I waited to hear his words.
He started speaking coldly and reprimanded each and every words, " Mr. President, the Secretary has already arrived and is waiting for your approval. I believe that she won't disappoint you."
I sneered and replied straightening up my upper body, " Disappoint? Well, she had successfully disappointed me. You know she had taken my elevator without watching the logo. You think she can take care of my whole paradise? She needs to handle the headquarters and my company both. From where did you find this girl, Scott? seriously.. "
His face flashed with disappointment and I laughed inwardly over my judgment proudly. Unexpectedly next moment his face turned serious as he explained like a composition assuring that he shouldn't miss any single details, " I'm seeking forgiveness on her behalf Mr President. She is still new here and doesn't know the rules well. I will strictly guide her and make perfect in every aspects. Moreover if you ask about her educational qualification, then I can say that you won't have any doubt over it.
She has graduated on two different subjects at a same time from the renowned varsities around the world.She still completed some external courses over programming and game developing. She can drive all kinds of cars and knows more than 7 languages around the world due to her living days in foreign countries. She is quite ambiguous over her work and takes everything seriously what she intends to do. "
He paused between his words as my face sank over her biography. Then I heard his pleading voice, " So I think you should give her a chance at least. In this way you can close down those rumours about you too. "
Okay.. I give up..
Scott has become professional over persuading me in this years staying by my side.
I waved my hand dismissively and ordered briefly, " Let her in but she must pass my interview or else not. "
Scott gave me another last bow and headed outside quickly.
I rolled my eyes and waited patiently to meet the strange girl keeping my sharpened eyes on the entrance!

IRIS'S POV
I stood at the doorstep patiently as my curious gaze were fixed on it like a superglue. The guards in presidential suit all had an aloof and robotic face as if we were in a prison.
I took another deep relaxation breath and wandered my eyes around to find out something and spent my leisure time so far. Suddenly the door was pushed open and I straightened up abruptly before looking up on the way.
Mr.Scott held a cold face and unreadable expression which made me shift uncomfortably in my spot.
Taking some large steps in front of me, he ordered looking through my eyes sternly, " Go inside. Mr President is waiting for you."
I nodded affirmatively and then heard him say again softly, " Just be yourself, Iris. I know Mr President. As long as you don't try to be over confident or pretend to be something special which you aren't, you will pass the interview. Make a good use of your sharp brain."
I gazed at his eyes deeply before nodding my head slightly and made my way inside the office.
I gave two light knocks on the door respectively and got a cold brief answer, " Come in. "
I took another deep breath before stepping into the carpeted floor and entered swiftly.As soon as I entered, my mouth fell open in awe looking at the decoration around the room.
The whole office room was decorated so beautifully that one could take few moments to enjoy its lavishing. Even the flowers on the vase were fresh and gave off a sweet fragrance into my nostrils. For a moment, I was lost in the beauty.
Flashing away my thoughts forcefully, I looked up at the figure forward and found his aloof face expressionless. His blue eyes were locked on the computer screen as he typed on the keyboard skillfully pressing down his slender nails symmetrically.
I cleared my throat hesitantly as I stepped near introducing myself, " Hello, Mr. President. I'm Iris Young, Mr. Scott has ordered me to come inside."
He responded briefly still tapping on the keyboard, " Take a seat, Miss Young."
I pulled out a chair and occupied a spot obediently still facing his cold aura.Shortly after, he stopped typing on the keyboard and averted his blue eyes on my complicated face.
I recalled the earlier advices given by Mr.Scott as I gazed at him back boldly though my heart skipped a beat looking at those mystical eyes.
His expression somehow became strange a little as he asked sitting straight back and looking at my face, " Tell me one reason, Miss Young, why should I hire you among all the talented women?"
My body stiffed a little but I quickly regained back my rationality as I replied while smiling, " Because I'm multi talented."
His expression dropped off as his brows raised up amusingly and I continued looking at him chivalrously, " I'm an expert on computer science, literature and programming.Except this, I have brief knowledge over business stocks and political affairs. Thus you won't have to find out different people to handover the tasks that you want to do in this criteria. You can easily handover them to me as I will always be around with you. In a word, you won't have to waste extra money over others.Buy one get unlimited free. "
He nodded his head slightly and replied resting his palms over the desk, " Quite reasonable. I have one more last question for you. "
I nodded and said, " Sure. "
He sighed softly and asked keeping his eyes over my face as if he was trying to read my every emotions, " If one day, you and I fall in danger together, who will you save first if you were asked to save between you and me?"
Finally my time came to waver his cold heart!
Remember this, if you are here to play with a big shot, wait for the right time to waver his heart until he finds you different.
Well, that's what I had learned from a certain person who had been doing well without me.. Probably..
I smiled lightly and replied looking through his intimidating gaze, " Of course, myself Mr President. "
A slight frown of confusion appeared on his handsome face as if he wasn't ready to hear this unexpected answer. But I continued secretly clutching the clothes of my top over my thighs, " At first, I'm not your bodyguard who is in charge to ensure your safety. I will be your secretary and helping hand. Undoubtedly anyone will choose her own life first unless.."
I paused a bit purposely to see his expression which was darkened and added purposely, " you fall in love. Because only in true love, people choose their partner's life before her."
I finished my words and looked up waiting for his answer to come out. His expression turned puzzled and unreadable as he kept staring at my face blankly.
He diverted his gaze from me and got up walking near the transparent glass as he responded absentmindedly, " You can go and report yourself to Scott. From today onwards, you are my secretary. He will give you further instructions about your work schedule."
I didn't dare to waste my time anymore thus I was already lucky enough to pass the interview. I gave a respectful bow and turned around holding my staffs. As soon as I stepped out, my anxious mind subconsciously inhaled a long sigh of relief.
I spent whole day only by understanding my works under Mr.Scott's guidance. Later he led me meet with the office staffs who all seemed like a pathetic robots to me without smiling or talking. I wondered over the fact that was it forbidden to laugh office?
After few hours, my head almost started spinning like a wheel when Mr.Scott explained me the whole thing. From my knowledge, I figured out that this handsome president owned various properties all over the state and mostly were from the expensive areas.
I wandered that what will he do with this properties? He doesn't even have a girlfriend jeez.
For the whole day, I didn't meet Mr President. for a minute thus I wasn't appointed officially. My real work would be starting from tomorrow directly from Mr President's apartment.
After an exhausted day, I reached at my own apartment around 7pm. I creaked open the door and immediately was welcomed with my baby's mechanical tone.
Mama is home.. Mama is home..
Stressed Tomato spoke out loud while dragging his steel body out of my bedroom. I chuckled in amusement slipping out from my high heels and rubbing my sore toes gently.
I hate high heels. It just gives me extra amount of pain!
I approached near the couch and my eyes went wide at the staffs hanging down from it. I lifted up the lacy bra from the couch and immediately understood who was the owner judging by it's shape.
My face turned black in anger as I scolded stressed tomato behind, " Tomato, didn't you warn Daisy that not to take her fatty boyfriend inside my house?"
Jees! It must be Daisy who made love on the couch with her damn boyfriend. He is just a fat, round panda.. How do they get along!
In response, tomato repeated the phrase continously, " Daisy locked tomato inside the bedroom.Daisy locked tomato inside the bedroom."
I shook my head desperately and threw those panty and bra far away from the couch. I settled down myself on the couch comfortably whereas tomato offered me a glass of water.
I rubbed my sore temple before gulp it down quickly. Later I took a fresh shower and received my ordered foods from the delivery boy.
By the time, I finished my regular activities, it was around 10pm. I started watching the tv shows and suddenly my eyes fell on my phone still chewing the chips.
My heart wrenched a little at the sudden thought of chatting with him. I tried to hold back my thoughts knowing the outcome but at the end, I took it up.
Tapping on the phone, I finally dialed the number as my breath hitched in fear. The phone ringed but no one answered.
I felt disappointed and happy at the same time for not connecting the phone call. My lips subsequently formed a bitter smile before dragging my tensed up body inside my bedroom.
I buried my head inside the fluffy pillow and soon after consumed into a sound sleep.
I didn't know how many hours that I had slept for. When I woke up from my nightmare screaming aloud like a little child, I was feeling suffocated like before.
My eyes diverted towards the curtains that were floating in the air highly. Thunder growled in the sky welcoming thousands raindrops which were occasionally passed through my half opened window.
Steadying my breathing speed, I tugged off the blanket from my body before slowly reaching near the window side.
It was another rainy day just like that night!
My vision flashed with some unpleasant memories that were buried in my heart. A teardrop fell down from the corner of my eyes when her screaming tone pierced through my memory..
Iris, Run... Run.. Iris...!! You are the bravest child, you remember!! Run..! Don't turn back, Run..!
Those noises stopped inside my head as I held back my choking hardly.
My mind wasn't in peace as I walked over the cabinet to find out my raincoat. I needed to find my inner peace and only that place could give me peace...
Peace.. that's what I had been looking for in all this years..!
Slipping inside my raincoat, I pulled up the hoodie to cover my face before heading for my discerned place.
Half an hour later, I finally reached at the Satin Cemetery ignoring the heavy rain that were pouring down on my body.
Standing away from the cemetery's main gateway, I clutched the white roses in my hand tightly before moving forward.
The cemetery had only two neon lights vaguely illuminated the whole area as my cream from the doorway made an thrilling noise in this rainy weather.
I located the certain point of the cemetery before walking forward as my boots occasionally splashed against the muddy water beneath.
Finally my heavy footsteps stopped in front of a tone as I fell down my hoodie to speculate it more vividly. Finally I sensed the inner peace that I was craving for.
Kneeling down, I placed those white roses in front of tomb before asking out bitterly, " You missed me?"
Before I could say another words, I heard hasty footsteps behind my back as my eyes darkened. The constant sound of splashes against the muddy water created a danger vibe around the place as I stood up unfazed.
I didn't bother to turn around as I was already knew what was going on exactly.
Smirking slyly, I was waiting for their response but no one talked.
Were they waiting for me to initiate the conversation?
Giving up this hide and seek game, I finally turned around before gazing at them deeply.
Another series of thunder along with thunderbolts fell upon the Satin Cemetery lightening their black figures that had perfectly hidden their true features.
I smiled provocatively and asked the almighty god looking up in the sky...
Can peace never stay in my life for a single
moment?
