When Veronica took away her hand off his grip, he did not know what to do. Whether to laugh or feel sad. Definitely it did not seem a good sign. Definitely he should be sad. But he said to himself: It is ok. It is ok.
He had been successful by far now. If she took her hands away from his, it was no big deal. He had escaped from police, it was a big achievement. Not only from the police, but also from the driver who had drove Veronica from Kaerlud to Malkahan hill and who ultimately saved her and his lives, was watching at them from outside the police station from a distance. Seeing them outside the police station the driver was approaching them. This Matthew could only see. Veronica could not see the driver for she was facing Matthew then. Taking the chance Matthew took Veronica's hand and started running. There was a taxi passing by. Matthew stopped the taxi and made Veronica get into it along with him and asked to go for the bus stand. There they put on the burkhas.
Now under his burkha he opened his mobile phone. Left Clash of Clans. Sent her an sms: Wht happnd?
A beep was heard from her mobile phone. She read the sms and replied: Nothng. Y?
He typed: Y u left my hand?
Y shld I take ur hand?
Bcuz it's comforting.
She typed back: U comfort ur heart. Say "All is well."
Oh is it so?
She did not reply.
He again typed: Say sth plz.
He saw she read the sms but did not reply.
He resent the previous sms: Say sth plz.
Wht? : she sent an sms with an angry smiley.
Just anything: he wrote.
She did not reply.
Just anything: he sent again.
She read it and replied: Plz DND. I wanna sleep. Ok.
He typed: Not ok. Y will u sleep?
Bcuz I m tired.
Y r u tired?
Don't u feel tired?
He typed: No I m feelng good.
Oh, but I m not. So DND.
No. IDU.
She just sent several question marks as she could not understand the full form of IDU.
He typed: I'll Disturb U
She sent a boxing smiley. Then switched off and put the mobile phone inside her pocket.
He sent a heart-break smiley and wrote: I was just disturbing u to lighten ur burden, not to increase. Ok. Sleep.
