The ride was almost 6 hours due to traffic, but the outer part of the city was free.
I had breakfast on the road at a well known restaurant owned by one of my acquaintances.
My car slows down on a rough road, it is plain around me like a battle ground. Next time if I am going to have a war I better do it here.
I climb out of my car.
"You are late" I turn my head to see the bastard,
He is walking towards me and stand almost one feet far from me, I lean to the right to see the car which stands far from us, it is tinted so I can't see anything,hmmmm...
"No, you are early. I was caught in the traffic, bring me the girl I have no time to waste for you."
"Oh wait! It's almost...10 years since I have seen you, I don't want to end this conversation. Come let's have a chit chat, from a capo...to a capo?" he let out a small chuckle.
I narrow my eyes.
"What do you want me to talk about?"
I lean back on my car's bonnet.
"Where is Bee? I told you to send him! If he was here we would have had a good chat"
I let out a sigh.
"Stop it Alex! How is my sister, I will slit your throat if you torture her." I grind my teeth.
"Oh...sacry… don't worry she is more happy with me. I am not boring like you, anyways I missed you a lot these years."
Out of nowhere my head screamed, ME TOO!
"Screw you! Give me the girl!" I mumble,
He let out a chuckle and nod towards me.
"Sure sure, let me bring her out." he walks back to the car and opens the back passenger seat door.
My eyes are very eager to see the protected-on-the-castle-tower girl.
A foot pokes out first, the car is far away so I am not able to see anything.
Then a small figure emerges from the car, She is very...um...tiny?
Slowly she walks towards me, Alex pushes her back with his hand but he didn't move.
Good, that's what a Capo should do.
Maximus! Stop. appreciating. Him!!! My subconscious glares at me.
The girl didn't stop walking but at some point she started running towards me, her legs are short so it must take time to reach me.
As she draws closer I can see her fully but I have no time to talk to her.
I open the front passenger seat, The moment she comes almost to my arm length I grab her upper arm and toss her inside and shut the door.
I quickly jog to the other side of the car and smoothly sit on my seat and start the engine, when I saw the rear mirror Alex was already moving.
I speed up my car to my home? To her home?
Only after a few minutes do I realize that there is a small figure sitting next to me.
I slow down the car a little on the empty road and slightly turn my head to see the girl.
Oh god never in a million years have been this excited to see a girl!
Once my eyes took a full look of the girl, suddenly I missed my foot on the accelerator.
The car stumbles a little.
She is so pretty,
Beautiful is a word
But pretty is an emotion.
Her face is perfect, her thick pitch balck hair is let loose behind her, she is wearing a white linen dress. Just. a. Cloth.
One straight cloth.
It's like a night dress.
Her fingers are long and slender, she is hunched and her feet are tucked under her chin, her hands are around her legs.
She is...a living light.
Her lips are like the baby's lips. Small, pink..baby pink, and in perfect shape.
woah...I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING THIS BEAUTIFUL!
No wonder her father kept her like a treasure.
She is looking at me, like I am a new creature who just returned back from going extent.
"Um...are you alright?" I start the conversation, I badly want to hear her voice.
My voice is hoarse, she is staring at me but my eyes are fixed on the road.
I clear my throat and repeat the question,
"Yeah" I could barely hear it, melody.
I gave some time to compose herself. When I look at her again, she is watching the world in awe.
"Do you need something...."
That was the moment her stomach chose to rumble.
She must be hungry.
She didn't turn her head nor did she answer me.
I sigh and give up.
For almost about an hour on the road, there was not even a single store or restaurant.
Finally one small shop comes into my view, I slow up and park in front of the shop and climb down.
But the other side of the car never opened.
What is she doing inside, expecting me to open the other door?
The ground crunched under my steps I peep inside to see the girl,
She is fast asleep, her mouth is parted and she is drooling!
I let out a small chuckle and forgot that she was leaning on the door. I opened it in second and that small figure fell into my hands but her eyes were still shut.
"Wake up…" I breathed into her ear, her eyes flutters open and she stood on her feet,
"Come let's eat something."
She gave a nod.
What is she?
She is a calm water.
