When Kiara opened her eyes, it seemed late. She saw the wall clock, it was already 9. She looked at the man in her arms . She felt something stirring in her heart. He looked so innocent and pure, right now. Completely different from that stone faced man last night!
She slowly removed his hands from her waist and got down from the bed. After freshing up, she saw that there were some cash and eight mobile phones on the table. She knew these were the assassins mobile phone. She remembered that her phone was lost somewhere while running.
She went to the bed and covered him properly in the blankets, took some money and went out.
After sometime Ezekiel also woke up. He felt the space near him cold. He instantly remembered what happened last night. He remembered how Kiara consoled him last night, the way she looked at him with eyes full of gentleness, her sweet assuringly voice. He needed that, he really needed that last night.
But again thinking of their position, his ears turned red. He got down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. He knocked twice and called, "Kiara are you in there?" There was no answer. He repeated again but still there was no answer.
He already came to the conclusion that she ran away. Am I so untrustworthy? Or did she have some other planning? Are all woman like this nowadays? I helped her last night right?!
He felt that Kiara also had something up her sleeves in approaching him. But just then, he heard the door open. Kiara came in with some small bags in her hand. He instantly went to her and said, "Where did you go? Are you planning to run? " He was enraged.
"Ah..? Why will I run? I just went to bring something for us to eat. You know, right now, I don't have any other place to go other than you. So you have to bear me. " she said while smiling cheekily. One will never believe, that she could have lost her life yesterday.
Listening to her words, Ezekiel felt guilty. He berated himself, for thinking like that . If one person betrays you, it doesn't mean everyone to be the same! And why did he care so much whether she left or not? Maybe.. he didn't want to lose, that new found warmth and care... so fast?
Ezekiel joined her to eat. The atmosphere was really heavy. He heard her say, " You know, I have seen many half naked males before, but never once, like you. You must stay away from me, eh! I am perverted!!" He could hear the teasing tone.
His mood improved hearing her words. He knew he should atleast smile, but it was as if his whole being forgot to smile. He just couldn't. But the next moment, he said something, that even he was surprised by his words . "You will stay with me for now, right? You won't leave me right? "
He saw Kiara look at him in surprise, he averted his gaze. But then he heard her say, "I know you went through something very painful and heartbreaking. I can feel it. I can't take away your sufferings from your heart, but I will always be here by your side to help you lessen it.
Look, we are stuck with each other here. Neither I have anyone, nor you. So, I think all we can do is to trust each other and cooperate with everything. And I promise ,I won't betray you. "
Ezekiel had mixed feelings when he heard her words. Something in him was so relieved to hear her words, he wanted to trust someone unconditionally now. When he lost all his loved ones and had just hatred for everyone. Her words were like a last tread.
But at the same time, he felt afraid, really afraid, to be betrayed again. But Atlast,he decided to take the risk. He can't blame the whole world for some thrashes . And right now he really needed support.
"I will trust you. " It was only at that point that she saw a ripple of emotions in his face since last night.
