The car started moving again as the jam cleared.
Johnson was thinking how to break the news to Alasca that the one she chats with 'Jo' is actually him. But again, he was nervous as hell , just few moments earlier he confessed to her that he liked a girl and if he tells her she is the same girl.... would she stop talking? that would be the worst outcome. Secondly he realised that he maybe stood no chance now... she already had a loving and caring boyfriend Nathan.
The way they were with each other during the whole time he was there... it was clear they both had sparks between them
The kiss... now he felt jealous.... he also sighed knowing what would have happened if he had accepted Alasca's proposal years ago ...
He knew if not Autumn , he would marry another women. For him they are strange creatures but Autumn was different to him... he felt comfortable with her... without telling her his problems.. she would understand him and even try to help him in any way possible.... It was like his soul had long adjusted with her's... therefore although he never met Autumn but still he was determined to confess. He didn't want someone with looks or body... rather the soul who has the control of his heart.
Johnson looked at Alasca... "Alasca? "
"mm? " Alasca who was looking out of the window answered.
"About that... that girl I was talking about in the restaurant ... she.. she.. "
Before Johnson even got the chance to complete his sentence...Alasca stopped him
"Johnson! I had had enough of you already! don't you get it I wanna go home... fine be it! am leaving... I can get a cab from here. Thankyou for the torturous ride! " Slamming the door shut she walked out of the car.
Johnson was so shocked that he forgot to react until he heard the loud noise of closing door.
"Damn it! this Johnson what does he think himself huh!? girl -girl- girl... can't he make me less irritated? God what a bad birthday... I ll give Garry a call first ... that idiot if only he didn't pressured me to come ... these wouldn't have happened. I would have been asleep by now. "
Alasca felt like someone was calling her out loud... but she thought that the crazy Johnson was shouting at her to come back... so she ignored him and continued with her call.
Johnson who now was out of his car to follow Alasca, suddenly saw a truck coming towards Alasca.... he was still far from her and his shouts... maybe didn't reach her... just when it was about to hit her...
"Autumn! "
Johnson had already lost his rationality when he saw the love of his life....going to die right in front of him.... how could he lose her ?...he only found her today!
In fear instead of calling Alasca he shouted Autumn as he rushed to save her.
Alasca was pushed to the other side with a huge force.... everything was blurry to her... but
'Autumn? did Johnson call me Autumn... how.. how did he know this name 'she was reminded of her first meeting with Jo in chats.
They had promised each other to not reveal their real name and address to each other.... Yes Autumn was the name she told him as hers.
Memories of the restaurant talks flooded her brain... the girl.. four years and the... it was very coincidental...
"uhh" Alasca was in great pain due to the push .... she knew she was breathing her last... the force was too much for her to handle...
'Johnson is Jo... Jo loves me.. no no.. Johnson is in love with me 'thinking all these she was in tears.... what's the use now when everything's over ...
Yes , she realised... these years she was just deceiving herself.. fooling her heart...
'I am still in love with him' Alasca thought as she tried to open her already heavy eyes ...
She watched aghast, Johnson was lying in the ground lifeless... the truck driver had already ran away....
She was crying... it was too late.. too late for everything...
She moved her body towards his.. stretching her hand to reach his...
After managing to hold it.... she cried more and slowly spoke as if whispering to the air... "if there's a next life , let's meet there. I ll surely make you fall for me again... but this time with my real identity... "
She was losing her consciousness as she remembered all their past happy and sad memories.
Gradually her heart stopped beating.
The night was gloomy, roads were empty with silence surrounding it .
Two lifeless body , holding each other's hand... were lying by the side of the road....
The phone which Alasca was holding earlier got connected ... Garry's voice could be heard shouting hello but there was no response.
He was greeted with the silence.
