For past few days, Lena has been staying with me. There has been two victories in row against AQ's by us in frontier. The spectator are saying that theoretically we have won the war on the big screen in my lounge. My phone rings. 'it's Gibbs' rebortic voice announced. I pick up the call and lean against huge door type window to balcony.
"Dylan I'm sorry that the dectative didn't work with in deadline, it was because, getting information of that old men was difficult but now the file regarding Old Shen is in your post box, my man left it there." over the phone, gibbs says in a single breath.
" okay! Thanks Gibbs" then he end the call and goes out to pick the file. Dylan pick up call from post box and come back. Inside Lena was busy in kitchen so I placed it in my study.
"Ahh... Dylan."
Before I tore apart the envelope to read it I hear a scream from kitchen. He run down to kitchen and find blood oozing out of her right hand. She didn't scream due to deep wound but due to abnormally rapid growth of of lavender seed that we sow in a pot near window year ago that never grow until now. Somehow her hand was over the pot and blood dripping from her hand was nourishing the plants. I came near her and grab her hand. I just thank God that no rebort was near us. As I put pressure on her hand, Lena snap out of her trance.
"Dylan... What's happening... I didn't do anything right..."
The fear in her voice was new to me. I pick her up in my arms and moves up stairs in our room. Where I place her hon bed and quickly open the side table drawer to pick fast healing bandage. Dylan clean and disinfect the wound and attached bandage.
'now that main work is done. Time to know what happened.' I thought as I sits besides her, encircled my arms around her shivering body.
"Lena be a good girl and tell me what happens there." as these words left my mouth Lena grab my shirt tightly and slowly speaks in her low voice.
" Earlier I hear a voice of feet coming near me, I turn off shove and turn around. Somehow my hand touch a sharp thing and when I know what is happening, I was by pot by window and blood was coming out and the plants were growing. I don't know how I turn up there."
'what a strange thing.'
" Can you show me the place? " I ask her.
" Dylan no... What if something happens to you?"
Lena she is scared, that's was my first time that I saw her afraid of something.
" Lena.. I'm here, let's go. " I stand up and grab her hand as we came downstairs. My house.. The atmosphere of my house is filled with beautiful fragrance of lavender. The pot was filled with a kind of lavender that I never saw before. Lena points to place where she cut her hand but there was a strange smell in kitchen that I seem to smelled before. I didn't tell her anything but instead I fill two bowls with curry and rice that she makes earlier for dinner. After dinner she seems sleepy so I carry her to bed.
"Dylan... Your shirt.." as I lay her down on bed, lena points to my shirt. I look at my shirt, few patch of blood has coloured my white shirt. I begin to Un botton it and change into comfortable clothes. After I come back from Bathroom. Len was staring at ceiling. I press the botton that cause the curtains to close and the house turn off lights expect the din one in lounge. Lena move closer to me and close her eyes as I lay down besides her. I hug her sleeping body close to me. After checking I grab my phone and dial my father's number. Which he picks up at first ring. I slowly brief him with whole story.
"take bandage from right side of your wardrobe, the sparkling one with her name on it, apply it and after thirty minutes take it off. Scar will completely goes as the wound heal in mean time.... Dylan she always has nightmare when this happens."
I was shocked to hear this, lena she had has this accident before." when, how and why dad you didn't tell me before? "
My voice become loud so she move closer to me, her head hiding in my chest. I can hear my loud heartbeats.
" I own you an explanation Dylan, don't I,
Come home tomorrow as you have two holiday because of victory. "
" okay dad "
I end the call and place her head on pillow.
