Looking their reaction listening the word cops I understood that something was off the track. I started getting curious and their was no reason to hold back my curiosity so I asked them directly about it.
Initially they both hesitated but somehow they decided to share their pain with me.
" It's an incident of almost five months before my birth." , Miss Chao Chao told me. Then took a heavy breath as if she had a hard time remembering the incident.
" If you are not comfortable in sharing than its okay we have time. You can tell me when you are ready. I guess that's because you will be shifting to Shanghai and you can take your time to trust me and after today I guess I also need some time to trust both of you. But I don't know why but I still believe you won't hurt me. " , I told both of them.
" Ofcourse you can trust us. Yes we understand that you will need time to trust us after today's incident. But we will tell you about the incident so that it will be easy for you to trust us." , Xia Chun told me.
" Oh....okay. It makes sense. Go ahead then .... I am listening ." , I told him looking at him.
" Those days we were living happily. There wasn't any Chief of village as we were good to each other and we never fought for things. We always compromised so their wasn't any need for maintenance so their were no Chief . Government had no idea about our existence as we had a huge forest filled with mist as a natural barrier. We never went to outer world and they also didn't come here.
But one day when a group cops were following a assassin who was wounded they discovered this place. It was way more beautiful than now. Completely filled with harbal plants and huge trees with high value. We all treated trees like God so we never cut anything unless it was necessary and it's still followed by everyone but there are some changes ofcourse.
They cleared the forest by telling that they are making road which will be attached to town and we can have a better life than now. Everyone agreed to them as they were very friendly and we'll - mannered. They also provided many things so that we will believe them. In that way they came close to us and found all the treasures of this place.
When I was around five and she was around two years old , they took away everything that seemed valuable to them. For next few years we lived by eating meat only as their was huge crisis of rice or wheat . They could not put their hands on the grains which were hidden and rest they took it. Whoever tried to protest them were killed. My father, elder brother as well as her father were killed by them. Since than we tried to come up with every possible ways. But still couldn't fulfill people's need and bring back the village to privious state . But few of us went to Shanghai and when we returned we could bring the village to this state only. But we still need more money and resources to bring back our village to former state and the group you saw is only because of safety. So that privious incident doesn't repeat." , Xia Chun explained me everything.
I was too shocked to even reply. I could feel his each and every word that came from his mouth was truth. The mixed feeling of anger, sadness and helplessness was filled in his eyes which was the proof of his words. Miss Chao Chao was hardly holding back her tears. But before she could break into tears in front of me she excused herself .
Even if she was trying to hide her tears and wanted to show that she was strong and it doesn't affect her anymore but her tears didn't miss my eyes. Soon after she went to her room I gastured Xia Chun to follow her . He understood what I meant so he didn't waste any more milliseconds and followed her to her room . I guess he also understood that she got emotional remembering that horrified incident of her life. It seemed like he was just waiting for me to say it and he will go after her. I smiled at my own thoughts.
I picked my mobile and stood in the varendra staring at nowhere in particular. But by looking at the way Xia Chun cared for Miss Chao Chao I suddenly missed Wang Chao. I don't know how and why but I felt like we spent our night yesterday but it's been 4 days sinces that day. I could still feel his touch , the taste of his lips and his intoxicating smell which drove me crazy each time I smell it or remember the smell of him. I had no idea what perfume he use but I guess it's limited edition or customerised parfum.
Suddenly I was bought back to reality due to some sounds which came from my mobile. When I looked at my mobile I was kind of shocked as well as surprised. I was in call with Miss Chao Chao since last fifty- four minutes which means when Xia Chun pointed his gun at me. And to my shock it was in recording mode which meant our talks had been recorded. I don't know why but my instinct to me not to delete the recording as I always delete the call recording which I fell is useless. So I decided to keep it for now.
I put the phone in my ears to hear to their conversation as I understood that even Miss Chao Chao didn't realise that she was on call with me which meant I can know if Xia Chun was telling me the truth or not.
As expected she was sobbing like a baby and he was consoling her I guess as both of them were silent and I could listen only sobbing sounds. So I cut the call as I felt it's improper to listen to their private conversation.
