TURNS

He got up, uncertain, " what's the treatment, plasma transplant? I'll take... "

" what's your name? " , she asked while standing to face him .

At this moment Saiph felt he had made s mistake, after all she was a reporter. Before she could engage him in questions , he tried to end it. " I'll see what I can do.  Don't worry about him. " And he left, trying to give her hope he gave her thousand questions, curiosity and one of his secrets.

Bliss standing there felt like she had been handled something really precious and some treasure worth a lot. She felt a  big opportunity in her hands.  She had to be wise and careful.

Saiph rationally pondered over it. Either he can erase this moment from his life and continue normally as if nothing happened. In this case he will never approach Bliss again .

Or either he gain her trust and make sure she will cause him no harm. For this he had to befriend her.

He was not ready for the latter. Too exhausted with his life already. Now he would pretend nothing happened.

For a month he helped Bliss's brother, apparently he wasn't able to get transplant treatment because Bliss was only his half sister. All the best treatments were only able to increase his life expectancy for one month. Expected dates around middle of February, he was too infected to survive. Sometimes Saiph felt he was only making him suffer more by helping him survive.

14 Feb, 2020 . Sweet Valentine . People were living the day of love. Just like every year, Saiph would visit the graveyard at midnight, sit there by the tomb , talk to his mom, spread over fresh flowers and watch the stone grave until tears blur his vision.

This time nature had in store for him turns of fate. As he was about to leave, in the sad empty graveyard , a white figure was evident in the dark.

It didn't take him long to recognize Bliss.  He thought how often he comes across Bliss in the least expected ways, certainly not a coincidence. Perhaps, he should deal with whatever reasons that keep leading him to her. He walked toward her . Sitting by the grave, as quite and still as the grave itself, she looked as if she is trying to consume death, and offer her life to his dead brother .

He stood near her, " I am sorry "

" He became free from the world "

" certainly .He would be in a much better place now " Saiph remembered some words of condolences from his past. He then looked at the tombstone,  Born Aug 11 ,2014 , TIM.

Tim?  wasn't it his nickname ? He didnt had a second name either?

" His name, was it Tim? " he asked.

" For me " ,

He had no reply to that.

" you got family? "

" not anymore "

" you've loved him fondly "

" only he has loved me sincerely "

Conversation was becoming harder and harder for Saiph.

" I am sure you will receive all the love that you deserve "

She shook her head. " one's own blood can fail to love. "

" sorry? "

" I never know who my father is. Mom , quite lost her mind . When Tim was born, she threw me out."

" him too? "

" No, she committed suicide and Tim's father got me imprisoned for it "

All he wanted was to say, are you serious? ,but it was too rude to ask.

" When I got out, I found Tim at a... at.. " she started sobbing.

" I am sorry for everything . Umm...  I had no idea that..

" life is very uncertain indeed. Some years ago, this day, Damien entered the scene for the first time. "

" yes"

" so all he says is true? "

" it's getting late. We should.. " she held his hand as he tried to step away to leave .

" what's your name? "

He looked at her hand, small and weak in his. " Aidan " .

He stepped away again, determined to escape from everything he keeps doing.

" who could know better then you, that who Damien is! "

he stopped ," I don't know "

" if you hardly talk about yourself, then it shouldn't be hard to guess "

" it shouldn't be anyone at all "

" do you want me to help? " ,

He couldn't tell share her motives were. 

" how? "

" by anyway I can "

"  maybe. " he turned away.

" may I come with you? "

He looked back with amazement. " where? " he chuckled, for it must be a joke.

" where ever you are going "

" but I am going home "

"  so there "

" what will you do at my place? " he was still smiling with amusement and disbelief.

" I'll tell in an instant who the hell is Damien, it seems you are too.. "

" too what? " he said with a ripple of laughter.

" disconnected with your present "she quoted Damien .

" haha. I wonder it's either you or me"

" .so you consent? "

" if you want " he started walking and she followed him behind.
