Reyansh's House
10:15 pm
Reyansh's POV
I'm not exactly a dark and brooding kind of person, but sometimes the situation controls a person's behavior, rather than he himself.
I was on the terrace of my house, sipping alcohol and gazing at the stars. Something was different about today's sky. It wasn't exactly black. The stars appeared like golden beads, covering the entire Oblivion with floral pattern. I smiled unconsciously to myself at this reference.
I was standing there waiting for a news. A good news to be specific. But like all good things come to an end, my thoughts too were interrupted by my sister.
"You always make me regret the decision of giving you the spare key."
"Then why haven't you changed the locks yet?"
"Consider it done. Anyways... Why are you here, Angela?"
"So you're telling me that you haven't heard the news?"
I mimicked a surprised expression, and said,
"What news?"
"You remember Ethan's girlfriend? Grace? She was shot by a bullet. Someone tried killing her."
My heartbeat stopped for a while and my face went pale. This wasn't the news I have been waiting for. I was on my way out, to the hospital when she stopped me.
"Wait, there's one more thing.."
"What?!"
"Grace and Ethan are engaged now. They were announcing this when she was shot."
Something broke inside me, but pain was overpowered by worry. The only thought I had right now was to go and see Grace.
"Why exactly are you telling this to me, Angela?"
"I'm your sister, Reyansh. I know what you're thinking.. or as in this case, what you're planning."
"Is that why you came here? To satisfy yourself with some juicy gossip?"
"The news is all over the internet, little brother. I thought, you must have left for the hospital, so I came to look after Watson."
"Good. Now, do what you came for and let me go."
With these words I took my keys and rushed to the hospital to which Grace was taken. I was cursing the winds as I drove towards my destination.
I couldn't believe I let this happen to Grace. Ethan gave me the responsibility, to take care of the security, and I let this opportunity slip from my hands. But I can curse whatever I want later... Right now, I had to make sure that Grace was alright.
I entered the hospital and immediately spotted Jason. He was talking to some doctor. After he was done, I approached him.
"Where's Grace?"
"Operation theater."
"Is she too serious?"
"Don't know. Ethan didn't let anyone close enough to see, till she was in the hospital."
"And where's Ethan?"
"Should be somewhere around."
After a little pause, I asked,
"Any idea who did it?"
"Not yet. But when he's found, Ethan may kill the person, himself."
"...was Noah there?"
After listening to this, Jason gave me a understanding look, nodded curtly, and left , probably to share this information with Ethan.
After my work here was done, I made my way to the operation theater, to make sure, my love was doing alright...
