' kaly!''
'' where are you sending her you bastard'' i said referring to the masked person holding my unconcious sister. the mask on his face haad some weird designs on it and was wearing a samue. he whole appearence looked ancient , but wasn't my concern .
''you are starting to annoy me, guess i have to get rid of you first''he said
''what?'' i was confused by what he said but before i could think any more,
i felt an immense pressure on my body, and soon my body started to move towards the person . it was as if he was controlling me but how. when i was right infront of him .
he carried kaly on his shoulder and supported with one hand . he grabbed my neck with the other hand and was strangling me , i couldn't even feel my feet on the ground
i could only try resisting but he's grip was too strong . i could feel my eyes closing , but upon that my gaze was on my sister . before my eyes could close and finally loose my life i heard a faint voice calling my name .
'' kharis, kharis'' i opened my eyes to meet another pair of green eyes
'' luke?'' i was so confused but then i realized i was dreaming
'' i saw you holding your neck , i thought you were chocking '' luke said
'' i guess , i was having a bad dream , don't worry i'm fine '' i said while scratching my head
'' as long as you are okay '' luke gave me a reassuring smile
that person i saw in the dream was the man that took kaly away. i tried to understand how my body was able to move on its own ,
it happened at the fire work incident and in my dreams so for sure it really happened
my train of thought was cut off when olive entered the room .
'' hey , you seems to better'' olive said
'' it depends, what's your definition of better'' i said plainly
'' since you woke up from your comma , your recovery will speed up and soon be discharge'' olive said trying to cheer me up
'' i hope so'' i turned to luke an that's when something hit me .
' i know i dont have a very big friend group , and kaly got kidnapped but still luke shouldn't be the only one here with me , she's not here . why ' i thought
'' luke , have you heard about Nana '' i said concerned
'' umm , about that '' he said scratching his head
'' after she heard about incident, and saw you in that horrible state and kaly was nowhere to be found, with was too much for her an she-she had a heart attack'' he said
'' heart attack '' i was so worried
'' but dont worry she's fine now , as we speak in the hospital as you are''
'' olive i need to see her right now'' i said with no hesitation
'' am sorry i can't let you'' she said
'' what do you mean you can't let me '' i said
'' kharis you are recovering , you have to stay in bed at all time your movement is limited in your room,''
i was so angry but i couldn't argue with her. how can i be restricted to from seeing the very person who took care of me from birth.
'' the lest you need is emotional attachment '' she said as she left
i was so frustrated i just covered my self with the be sheets . i was getting tired of the hospital , i wish things go just go back to normal , but things set in motion cannot be undone .
'' what i have to do now is to focus on recovering then get discharged, investigate more on the firework incident and bring kaly back''
i thought but little did i know that thing are only going to get crazier
_Time Skip_
soon , hours turn to days , and days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to a month.
things finally ended at the hospital and i was discharge.
the first thing i wanted to do was to visit nana. i barged into her room , she turned to look and when she meet the pair of blue eyes. tears filled her eyes and a smile was planted on her face .
''kharis '' she cried out , i rushed in and hug her and both of us were crying. we were happy about our renuioun but someone was missing
'' nana , kaly'' i hesitated for a while
'' i know '' she said '' i know about her sudden disappearence ''
'' this a promise nana , i am going to bring her back home and everything is going to go back'' i said
''i know you will'' she said giving me a reassuring smile. to be honest i was expecting something like '' you are only going to hurt yourself'' '' this is not a fairy tale '' or '' start living reality''
but i guess it's aneil's words that are haunting me .
soon i left the room and headed out of the hospital. on my way i met aneil and olive
'' guess who's the most happiest girl '' olive said
'' who is she '' i said acting dumb
'' i thought today is what you were dying for '' olive said unsatisfied with my attitude
'' what , you expect me to be jumping around'' i said
'' no but- , nevermind that , here take'' she said as she gave me a dress .
as gift , no. it was the dress i wore when the incident happened
'' thanks '' i said as i thought it will be help in my investigation
''okay i would be on my way now''i said but then someone held my hand
'' wait '' aneil said , i was kind of scared to talk to him after our last conversation
'' i want to - i want to apologize for y attitude last time, it wasn't the best'' he said as he avoided eye contact . he was embarrassed and started to get flustered . but i didn't understand why.
'' you were right '' i said ,'' but that doesn't mean i quit , i am going to find her , if its the last thing i do ''
he let out a laugh and then came super close to my face , that i got flustered and stepped back a bit.
'' okay kid , don't get yourself killed though '' he said and then pulled back '' one day everything will be clear to you''
'' i am not a kid '' i said , '' oh really'' he said
'' yes , i'm 16'' i said
'' yea, right'' he said doubting me but it was a common thing , because apparently i dont look like my age. lets just say i look childish , i was short , i had a childish face and undeveloped.
'' since you are an adult , here you go'' he said as he handed me a piece of paper
'' what , how many zeros are here'' i shouted as i was marvelled by the amount of money i was supposed to pay on the bill sheet.
'' you should be grateful we did you a favour'' '' besides you said are an adult'' he said mockingly .at that point i felt like knocking his head . he was too annoying
'' even an adult cannot pay this amount of money'' i murmured
'' take your time kharis , you have till the end of next year to pay '' olive said
'' that's a relief , you are always helpful unlike some people'' i then turned to aneil who was grinning at me
i then paid my final farewell to olive and aneil , and went my way.
thought of going to see outside after being quarantined in hospital bed for two and half month was actually exciting .
