Chapter 2 - A Sudden accident!

Next day

It was morning time and Kiara was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, her long black hair has been tied up in a single ponytail.

"Ken, Wake up and get ready or else we're going to be late" she shouts from the kitchen

Ken who was currently sleeping, opens his eyes drowsily and wakes up to get ready while tossing aside his blanket, after getting dressed he goes downstairs to see his sister already changed and placing breakfast on table.

"Good morning, Sis" he greets her while getting himself seated

"Good morning" Kiara greets back while placing the breakfast on his plate and gets seated beside him; after the breakfast they leave for the school in her car.

After reaching school, Ken goes to his class while Kiara goes to the staff room. After entering the staff room, she greets other teachers who are present and gets herself seated at her desk

"Good morning, Kiara" Elie a English teacher, who is one of Kiara's colleague and her desk neighbour greets her

"Good morning, Elie" Kiara greets her back and Elie starts to have conversation about her private life.. like how her two year old kid is growing.. and how her husband planned for an outing this week and so on.. for which Kiara forces a smile and listens, when she was about to look at the time and thought when this damn bell is going to ring, the bell for the next period rings and she excuses herself stating her class is about to start and leaves the room

"Phew~" after leaving the staff room, she lets out a sigh while placing a hand on her chest and goes to her class, it was already past seven by the time she finished her work and she sighs thinking she has to go alone today since Ken had to attend one of his friends birthday party and informed her that he'll stay for the night for which she gave him an approval reluctantly stating to take good care of him and call her immediately if anything happens. She looks outside the window and notices that the weather is not good, it was already cloudy and it seemed like it may rain anytime soon, she quickly packs her things and goes to the parking lot to get on her car and leaves.

She drove in silence as the rain and mist clouded the windscreen of the car letting her view blur. She goes into her own thoughts while driving 'I have this uneasy feeling from morning. Is it because of Ken staying outside? That shouldn't be the case since he has already stayed out couple of times before but I guess' she sighs 'It was just today, something about today that is making me feel uneasy. I couldn't really point my finger at it, but it was there. Everything is going good; throughout these three years I haven't met anyone who would reveal my secrets and there was no reason to be upset. Even Ken was doing brilliantly in school, which was a news as good as it sounds, yet I felt as if something in my life was horribly wrong. I couldn't understand this feeling' her thoughts where interrupted by a loud thud and she notices it has been caused due to a person being landed on her car's bonnet. Panicking, she made the car come into an immediate halt using the brake, and got outside at an eye's blink to check whether the person was injured.

After nearing the person, she notices it's a man and calls out for him "Mister..? Are you alright?" she bends down to check out the man

The said man was crouching down while holding his left hand; looks up at her and nods at her stating he's fine.

Kiara observers the man closely, the man has dark brown hair with a pair of amber eyes; in simple words he is good looking, sharp featured and he's currently in formal clothes which consists off a white shirt with a pair of black pants. His well built figure can been seen clearly through the already drenched shirt he's wearing and one can notice that he has injured his left hand due to the fall before "Mister, I'm sorry and since this is my fault; please let me help in taking you to the hospital" she says while standing up and extending a hand for him which he rejects and picks his bag by his right hand quietly and stands up on his own "It's not required and it's not your fault; I should have been careful while crossing the road"

"But that injury seems serious and if not treated on time it may get infected" Kiara stands firm on her words for which the man sighs and points at his injury "You don't need to worry, I'll take care of it" being said that the said man left the place

Kiara sighs 'what a stubborn man.. and why do I feel like I have met him before..?' she thought hard and came to a conclusion that it's her first time meeting him and have not met him before and drives herself home.

Upon arriving at home she made herself a simple dinner which she eat half heartedly, after finishing it; she calls Ken to confirm whether everything is fine and upon confirmation that nothing is wrong; she goes to take a bath and prepares herself to go to sleep but even when it's past midnight she couldn't sleep 'Is it because of that man I have met today...?' she shook her head to try to clear off those thoughts 'it must be because Ken isn't here today and I might be worried about him. Yes! that must be the case' she thought to herself and goes to sleep.
