We were sitting in the nearest coffee shop we could find there. I glanced at him, and then his hands. One of them was on my phone and the other one was busy with his phone. I kept looking at my phone lying helplessly under his rigid hand. I could snatch it when he is not looking. Right?
"don't even try" he suddenly said with his head and index finger shaking in disapproval. Did I say that loud?...
"Soo...if you are done thinking with all those snatching plans, can we start?"
"Hmm.." I answered, averting my gaze.
"I am a DCI for some reason. I..it's like..umm" He, out of nowhere, seemed to be a bit nervous. He kept on scratching his forehead and moved his hand behind his neck several times. I was still waiting for his talk though.
"Can you please hurry up, you might be not worried about getting late for your work but I am…I have to get home early as I am still a college student." I faked smiling at him. But I somehow felt bad for saying it as he was really not the way I saw him outside, I don't know what…but he was not as he was a while ago. After a long sigh, he spoke up.
"The case you are a witness to is important to me. I want to know every detail about what you saw. Even if they are too minor to be noticed. I want you to think again and tell me what they looked like? Every single word they said and-"
"I told that already. Right? Sorry but I am in no mood to repeat all of that again!" I said that and went for taking my phone by pushing my hand to his side of the table but he pulled it more to himself. I sat back with a sigh.
"You are not paying attention…Are you?" He gave me one of those peering looks of his, but by then I was already standing. He slowly nodded as if he was trying hard to decide something. I glanced at my phone and swallowed hard. I turned to leave. I was out of the shop but I really didn't want to leave without my phone.
I tend to sit in my car when suddenly was dragged roughly and was pinned to the car by two stiff hands.
Oww
"What on earth-"
It was him again. If stares could kill, I would have been dead right now. but soon he unpinned my hands and took hold of my left hand harshly. I was taken aback as he placed my phone on it.
"Here," folding his arms around his chest afterward
huh?
This was not what I had expected. I had an uneasy feeling or say guilt took over me. For taking the phone back?
"Come on!" He scoffed after I didn't move an inch.
What is wrong with him?
"What was I even thinking! how could I expect something from such a ruthless girl like you!"
And like that, he called me ruthless too.
"I thought you might help me as a sensible girl, but I guess I was wrong. You didn't even pay attention to what I said but all you cared was for that freaking phone of yours! You just don't care what people are going through but you JUST.NEED.YOUR.PHONE! Because that's what matters after all, Right?!"He ran his hand over his hair. It was as if my body had forgotten how to move. He left all heated up, bumping into people too.
so I was the criminal now?
-NOAH-
I clenched my hands around the steering wheel and gritted my teeth, gradually escalating the accelerator pedal. I really was not in my right mind now. It was like heat ran over my body at the instant moment that girl stood up. I was struggling hard to speak about 'It' and she was not even interested. But why would she be? Noone understands anyway.
All of it flashed back in my mind.
Blood was all over the place, as I came to my senses. I removed the large pieces of the broken chair, in front of me. I blinked several times and shook my head due to the intense pain, trying hard to stand firm. Then suddenly I stumbled on something hard. I gasped at what I saw next. There he was…lying helplessly on the floor. And that's when my image blurred as the tears covered my eyes.
I squeezed my eyes as once again, tears threatened to show up. I took a sudden break to the side. I kept on staring at the steering wheel with heavy breaths and took a long sigh. I leaned back on the seat, and that's when a drop of tear rolled down on the side of my cheeks. All these years, I have been waiting for this moment only not to let the history repeat and when the wait is over, she is just increasing the complications. Why can't she simply cooperate.? All I am asking is a fair investigation. They didn't do it at that time, but I am not going to let go this time. No one knows, what I have been through, all this time. No one knows, how it feels to lose someone close to your heart. No one knows how it feels when you can't do anything to save your beloved ones but stare at them leaving you behind in this cruel world. This is indeed a cruel world...Cruel world full of selfish people.
" I guess I have to figure it all by myself," I said to myself, before regaining my posture. I drove back to the station.
