(BACK TO PRESENT)
(June's pov)
my hand began to tremble while looking at the images on the screen.
both my parents are tied up in one room wearing the same clothes, which they were wearing the last time i saw them.
The back of my eyes burned and my sob move out of my mouth,"sob.."
they look skinnier..
taking back his cell from my hands,"i found his movements suspensious So i followed him and found them at his base at outskirt!",he said.
"no!...it's not true!",stephen won't do something like this!...
why will he do something like this?
i can't see stephen in this photos.what if the one who grabbed them is not stephen but someone under him?
"i don't believe you Rey!...i won't?",i disagreed with him while shaking my head and his jaw clenched tightly.
grabbing my back of head he pulled me closer to the point that my forehead touches his, mumbling,"so if i bring them back?...then... will you believe me?",his tone sounding cold and cold.
"w..what?",can he bring them back?
he nodd his head,"give me some days ..stay here!..i will bring them back!"
i began to ponder,it's not like i loved stephen!...i always used to feel insecure around him.maybe that was because he belonged to the mafia!
but i was loyal and devoted to him the whole time.
and him...my eyes move to rey as he grab the bowl of soup.
He was my first crush...he was someone whom I used to pay attention to in university.
he is also the same man who kissed me forcefully and terrified me with his disguise.
what shall I do?...looking at our past i don't want to trust him.
let's wait for some days...
my eyes began to scan his each move,pulling a spoonful of soup he brought near my mouth.
looking at the soup near my mouth I gazed at him,he nod at me.
why is he so gentle now?
just this morning he forced himself on me to kiss. threaten me with his weapon and was even rude with me.
i wish you were here with me smiley!...where are you?..i miss you!...so..much!....i don't know how i will continue to live like this.
"hmm",i snap as he growl angrily at me and pull soup in my mouth.
even if it has a taste it feels hard to gulp it down from my throat.
why is everyone leaving me behind?
what did i even do?
is this some karma of past life?
"hmm",he growl again getting my attention.
trying to grab a spoon from his hand,"give me!..i will--!!"
but he cuts me off,"no!...i will"
pressing my lips i look at him grabbing a sandwich from the tray.
do you really love me?...i want to ask but looking at past i won't.
after eating dinner he lay on bed and pull me beside himself.
"sleep"
"y..you go away!",i pull away but he grab my arm.
you think i will fall asleep knowing that you demon is beside me?
turning he turned off the light ,turning the room into pitch black.
"gasp",my body jerk.
the same cold pitch black room like the past?
everything turn silent,
my fingers moved and scratched my shoulder,n..no.. go away...i feel disgusted.
peeking aside at the clock hearing the sound of ticking i pull my hair back with my trembling arm.
n..no!...
that's when i felt a grip around my arm and snap aside,
y..yeah!...Rey is beside me!...i m not in that room!...
"what happened?",he asked sounding worried.
yes...it's not that room!...he is here!
"r..Rey!",hearing my scared tone he shot up and sit beside me.
"What happened darling?"
"r..Rey...please turn on the lights!..i m sca...red!",i mumble at him and he quickly turns the neon lights on.
and again turned to me,"what happened?...why are you sweating?"
"huh?",
m i?...wiping my forehead i found my finger wet.
"why are you scared?",he asked.
"just..i don't know!",i said and lay on bed closing my eyes.
i can feel his stares at me and i can even tell that he must me clenching his jaw as i haven't tell him the reason.
"ok!..sleep!",falling back beside me he pull me closer.
i didn't budge like earlier,i m still scare of that feeling earlier and he pull me more closer to the point that i can hear his heart beating steadily.
why is everything so calm now?...
what is this secured feeling?..
...i want to open my eyes but i know that i won't be able to see anything as he is pressing my head against his chest.
why is he embracing me?...why m i feeling so peaceful and secured around him?
m i wrong about him?
sighing i clutch his tshirt in my fist,i don't know why but,i don't want to refute today.
what if i get nightmares and wake him up?
but i found him sleeping beside me more than once.
when he kidnapped me and yesterday too.
"bathumb...bathumb",his heartbeats are so steady.
my focused turned to his heartbeat and i don't know when i drift to sleep.
