EGO AND BLAME
He wanted to leave as soon as possible, rain this heavy might not stop for days, and he is unfortunately on foot. Wasn't a nice day for a walk! What was I thinking? Damn!
Nature always had a way to set him up for the worst.
Blue left just today to join his family on Christmas. Saiph didn't bring his car. If he call someone from company, he was sure to be forced into therapy sessions and a good deal of arguments and demands for an explanations . Taxi, it's just a way to be in news and scandls.
Looks like I will walk. Come on Saiph it's not that far.
" umbrella? " - she interrupted.
Really?
you should eat up your umbrella so no one can steal your precious . Or have it locked up in safe deposit. You are not ready to give a little piece of information, now don't bless me with an umbrella.
"No thanks! " he moved two steps away from the counter. His eyes fell on the desk name plate. Receptionist : Bliss Coral. He rolled his eyes God bless me!!!
" how do you receive his column ? "
" post mail , nameless, but worth it "
He looks in her eyes for a minute , confirming if that's all she know
* thunder *
Turning his gaze down he walked out. Bliss saw him crossing the road and vanishing from sight .
The storm inside him is far more intense then what's outside. Bliss thought.
Saiph layed on his bed , medicines ,tissue, water covered the side table .
He had fallen sick ,from the cold rain of December. The sickness brought back with intensity , the pain and exhaust of the last month's concert tours all around the country.
Blue was right! I needed to rest.
His body felt heavy to move. At 1 pm he decided that getting up will be better then telling himself how sick he is.
He got up, took a warm bath, made lunch, hot chocolate and slid inside the covers and turned on the television.
All efforts to feel better just went down the drain ,he was the big news.
Now what? No, no,no,no
We all knew the two of them are equally strong powers, and they will have to face one another at some point. The clashing views of both and extreme emotions had been fighting since years ,Saiph through his lyrics and Damien through his words.
An amazing turn of events took place by which the rivalry has been exposed. Famous singer and beloved idol Saiph Raven , starts an open chase to hunt down Damien. We are all looking forward for a response, according to the report ...
Please don't do this to me !!
He had his phone powered off since last night , he grabbed his phone and laptop in a strange fear. He turned them on and a flood of calls from manager, overloaded email ,message box
I am dead, I am dead
With shaking hands he called blue, at the same moment heard a thud on his door. The bell rang and so did the doorbell. He lifted the covers and got up to answer the doors,
"
Saiph, boy you alright? Why weren't you picking up? , "
"hey, blue.. Hold up let me check the door "
" stop, no, don't don't don't, don't go!!!! "
"what? Why? " Saiph was already afraid now he felt alone without blue.
" Did someone come to visit you before? "
" no! I don't know, I was asleep. I just woke...
" so listen listen, pack your stuff , and leave. I've sent you my address okay?! "
" what are you talking about? "
" if no on has seen you today and yesterday, you can leave the state, come to me, stay for the Christmas and we will say you were never there and the news is fake, all rumors "
" but... "
" the 3 pm flight, north airport, make sure no one see you, I will handle everything else, leave the rest to me, just be safe for now and don't pick up any calls "
" yeah, yeah, right, I am coming " ,*door knocks * "okay I will be there, bye "
He felt relieved, he packed his clothes, threw in his medicines, electronics and ,powered off the phone again. checked through the window if the way is clear .
Wore a face mask, called uber to a near by address. And fled from his home.
Okay! So I never went to daily feed, never met bliss, never asked about Damien, never read any articles of him, I was not even in the state that day and I was with blue at his farmhouse, nothing happened, nothing happened.
He reminded himself the new truth.
He successfully got the ride, and was ready to escape from the truth. But that's what you can never hide from, just like reality is real no matter how much you dream it will break one day, truth is true and repeating the lie over and over can not change that.
His own song pinched him at that moment :
Veils all lifted
Distances all closed
No lies to escape
No way to shut the doors
I run, but it's chases me
It stops me dead and faces me
It says Truth is your destiny
So don't live in fantasy (~)
And right then and there, through the window he saw bliss.
