Three days later!
Mia turned the whole room upside down but there wasn't even single link to the main mansion.
"GOD! I need to at least wish him!" Groaning in frustration, Mia walked towards the door and squatted down.
Bending like a puppy, she opened the small wood down and placed her hand out.
"Arghh, not even a leaf down there!" Grumbling out Mia continued to search for something and finally touched something soft, yes it was soft and
Polished?
"Do you wish to clean my shoe?" Xavier asked while squatting down.
"Bastard, open the damn door."
Bending down, he looked at her face and gently smiled jerking her already lost patience.
"That That smile! Damn it, at least give my phone!"
"Say, I am best!" Xavier asked and Mia could only glare.
"I am best!" Mia mumbled and Xavier shook his head at her stubbornness.
"I said to declare that I AM BEST!" He stressed his last words and waited with a smile.
"That's what I said, I AM BEST!" Mia replied blinking her puppy eyes at him.
"Say, You are best!" This time, he changed his words.
"I know I am best. I am best! Here, now pass your damn phone at least!" Mia asked impatiently.
"Hmm. You wanna play? Ok, then!" He got up and Mia held his leg.
"Xavier is Best, he is best! Now Now Now, give the damn phone or else I will break this leg!"
"Haha, with just one hand?" Xavier mumbled wriggling from her wrap by stretching his leg a bit and smiled.
"Ouch, my hand! Let me come out, I swear I won't murder you, Xavier!" Mia grumbled as she got up and caressed her wrist.
"He won! Total 72% of votes was on his side!"
"Woah Woah, My Idiot won!" Mia squealed at his words and continued to glee in joy.
"Xav, give me your phone!" She knocked on the door but got nothing in reply.
"Xav, you there? Xavier give your phone!"
"Xav, please. This is the first time I am begging. Please, Xavier!"
When she didn't get any reply, she squatted down and opened the small door and sighed deeply.
"Damn it, he already left. Ohh, God! What should I do now?"
Crying out in frustration, Mia slumped back on her bed.
...
City A.
President's Cabin!
"Here its officially your chair now!" One of the cabinet members helped him sit and Ian thanked with a smile.
"You have worked hard from the past five years kiddo! As a cabinet member, you have served the people well and your hard work really paid off!"
People around continued to praise him and he just smiled at every one of them.
But Kaira and Noah noticed the impatience in his eyes. From the last three days, they could see a drastic change in his aura and were clearly aware of the reason behind!
"Go, try her or her friend Elisa's number!" Kaira whispered and Noah walked out with a nod.
"Change my room! I would prefer the old office in the glass tower!" Ian mumbled as soon as everyone walked out.
"But But But sir, you have to be in the parliament." His PA Leo mumbled only to receive a thunderous glare!
"Ok Ok sir!" With that, he walked with Kaira left alone in the lion's den.
"What?" Ian asked looking at Kaira who just shook her head.
"Your press conference!" Noah mumbled entering back in the room and Ian didn't respond.
"Tell them he wants to spend the day with family. People will understand and leave behind a post of gratitude on his web pages!" Kaira guided him and Noah left out with a nod.
"Ian," When he didn't reply and was too busy scrolling through his phone, Kaira sighed.
"Should I enquiry Uncle Steven?" She asked while tapping his shoulder.
Shaking his head, Ian deeply sighed.
"Either she is working on a mission or," Ian halted and closed his eyes.
"Or?"
"Or she has decided to break up with me!"
"What?" Both Steven and Felix who just entered yelled at his words
Looking at Steven and then at his father, Ian could only jump from his seat.
"Hello, uncle." Kaira greeted Steven and then pulled Felix,
"Dad, why are you guys here and why didn't you inform me?"
"It was a surprise, my dear." Felix answered and looking at his son, he questioned,
"What did you do that she broke up with you?"
"No No Felix, it might be that brat. I am sure she is playing again." Steven retorted defending Ian.
"No No Stev, it's this unworthy son of mine. He with his workaholic, robotic nature would have bored that pity child." Felix retorted defending Mia.
"No-No! He is really a good child. That girl, I know her very well. She had made a joke of relationships by dating around 100 or so lads. Let her come home, I will peel off her arrogance."
"No No No! Its this son of mine. His flaws are deeper than my blood in his body. I am sure it's him."
"Will you both stop?" Kaira who had lost her cool at the debate broke out.
And when silence prevailed, Kaira cleared the air,
"She didn't text nor call from past three days and that's the only reason his brain is processing such things.''
"Ohh." Both the men mumbled and Steven walked towards him.
"Don't worry, she will be back here within a month. Arthur locked her up as she wanted to go on a dangerous mission."
"But when did she join back the clan?" Felix was the one to ask with a pout.
"Ohh, old man. Didn't I inform yesterday?" Steven asked while gesturing the servent at the door to come in. The servents placed all the gifts on his table and left with a bow.
"Ohh, I forgot in between this election tension."
Nodding at his reply, Steven smiled at Ian and said,
"Congratulations! You worked really hard to be here my child." Patting his head, Steven continued,
"Make sure to work hard and serve this country better." Ian nodded with a smile and looking at his yearning eyes Steven chuckled.
"Here I am travelling back just to wish you and those eyes wants me to do something else."
Ian scratched his forehead making everyone chuckle at his silly smile.
"Wait, let me call that brat."
Steven took out his phone and at the same time, Noah entered with a happy smile.
"Bro Bro Bro, Mia's friend ELISA is on line. Talk Talk!" Shoving his phone, Noah clapped his hands only to receive a knock from Kaira on his forehead.
"Stupid, he wants to talk with Mia and not her best friend." Sticking out his tongue at Kaira's comment, Noah just rubbed his forehead.
"Let the kids enjoy. Let's go back home, my wife is waiting to see her idol." Chuckling at Felix's comment, Steven nodded and both walked out.
"Hello?" Elisa, on the other hand, tried to start a conversation.
"Hi!" Ian replied patiently, wait his patience running out at every passing micro-second ;D
"Congratulations. And yes, we are extremely sorry for cutting the connection between you guys! Its actually, she wants to go on a dangerous mission and we are restricting her. Even just a small opportunity that girl will surely eat all of us and go on the mission. Hope you understand our plight!"
"It's fine. I understand."
"I will keep it on speaker, you guys can talk."
"Hello, Idiot?" Mia's voice could be heard bringing a warm smile on his face.
"Hi, how are you?" Ian replied and the other two in the room walked out to give him some space.
"Woah Woah Woah, it's really you! Congratulations, Idiot! See you won, I already predicted this but you were simply anxious. People have seen you work hard from the past five years, so of course, they would vote you. It's not like they are blind just to vote someone unworthy. I am so proud of you idiot. You know,"
And then the phone went dead.
"Hello?"
He cut the call and dialled again but the phone was unreachable.
With a deep sigh, he took his phone and walked out with the short term happiness.
----
City B
"Hey, what happened?" Mia questioned and Elisa could only sigh.
"Darling, the connection is really bad here. I am sorry." And before Mia could curse her heaven out and bleed her ears, Elisa escaped from the place.
Later that night.
"No, Mia you cannot sit idle. By hook or crook, you should attend his oath ceremony." Mia mumbled juggling in the darkroom,
"But its tomorrow! How would I reach there?"
She turned on the lights and looked at the four walls around her. Walking towards the door, she kicked it but failed.
"No, I am damn sure it's unbreakable. Let's think about something else."
Walking around the room, her eyes blinked and she rushed towards the toilet.
Pinching her brow, she gulped at the thought which somehow showed the path of hope.
"Anything for Idiot. Yes, anything for Idiot!" Closing her eyes, she took some deep breaths and walked towards the commode. Yes, you heard it right the toilet commode.
Wearing the gloves beside, she gulped and with a deep breath, she tried shaking the toilet commode.
"Ahhhh! Its glued to the ground." Grumbling, she tried again and again.
Minutes passed but her attempts failed.
"What are doing?"
"Of course, trying to escape from this commode pipe." Mia answered to the voice but she was too engrossed to sense a human behind her.
"Would you fit in the pipe?"
"I don't know. But it's best if I try once." Mia answered again and tried to lift it up.
"Sigh, it's not at all coming. Mind helping me?" Mia asked turning around and only then did realise the presence.
Thud.
She stumbled back on the ground and gulped in nervousness as she had been caught red-handed!
