Chapter 20: Hospitality

He was walking to her home in the midnight. His legs weren't supporting him and he had almost lost his energy. He was struggling to her house in harsh weather and baring that pain Officer Jeff rewarded him.

He entered her colony and followed the instruction to her house until he saw a white bungalow. He saw her desperatly waiting for him in her terrace just outside her room. He couldnt speak due to cold so he turned "on and off" his phone flash. She waved at him.

He climbed into her garden and approached her from below.

"How am I gonna suppose to climb up all there" he asked her struggling with his voice.

"There those ladder!!!! Take it" Kathy pointed at the ladder lying vertically next to the wall of the garden.

He somehow managed to set the ladder next to her window and started to climb up slowly as he was very weak.

..................

Officer Jeff driving with his team all the way back to police station. He was tensed and staring outside the window seeing the destruction they had caused.

"Will they return tomorrow!!!! We won't be able to resist them" Constable answered him as he was feared. He was driving the car in the middle of night after their war with Di Vinci's Family.

"No, They won't!!! We will settle it tomorrow. Don't worry" he assured him. He sighted dead bodies as their families crying over them. Buildings and houses burned to ashes and blood dissolving in the stagnant rain water.

"Team Alpha!!!! Team Alpha!! Are you there" he heard on the radio set on the car dashboard.

In a moment, he grabbed the set and replied

"Copy that!!!! Control room" He was desperate for their answer as he was taking short breaths.

Thousand of  thoughts were storming his mind. He was thinking what if the station was attacked too or anything much worse than that until he could heard:

"Team Bravo is down!!!! I repeat Team Bravo is down.

Ride back safely" he heard the electronic voice from radio set.

He was filled with rage and was shocked as he heard that news. He was deep in his thoughts while constables stared at him. He threw the radio set at the dashboard without replying to them.

"Motherfucker!!!!!! Definate!!!!!!" He yelled.

"Sir!!!! Is everything all right" one of the constable inquired him.

"I should have not risked his life!!! I am responsible for his death" he confessed as he held his hand to his forehead while his head lowered. He had great regrets for the loss of Whesper. He was a loyal and had always benefitted the department.

...................

"He is not picking his phone!!! I am afraid he is in a problem" Definate told him. They were in the villa at dinner. Definate had returned safely along with guards to the villa.

"Officer Jeff chased him all the way down". Joe was sitting enjoying his vodka. He had also returned along with the guard.

"What happened at the downtown!!!" Di Vinci inquired anxiously. He wasn't eating just sitting thinking about Farhan.

"We were wiping the streets when that son of a bitch appeared. He stormed us with his fucking team!!!!". Joe answered him while eating. He was chewing roasted meat along with potation of wine.

"I will deal with him later!!! We have to find him" Di Vinci assured them. He was worried for Farhan.

Edgar was accompanying them. He just stared at each of them as they were speaking until finally he opened his mouth

"What if he had killed him?" He answered them confusingly.

"Well them I have taken down 4 of them. They were trying to be a hero" Definate confessed.

"How!!" Joe asked him in excitement.

"I aimed at them And then Powwww!!!!! Straight to hell!!! Blowed them with RPG, Old style bro" he answered him heroically as Joe laughed at him. Di Vinci was worried for him.

"You are one heck of beast!!! What a death they got from you" Joe continued while laughing.

"Why are you all not worried about him!!!! Like nothing happened. Wasn't he a part of your family or he has just been excluded" Edgar taunted them.

He never liked his father so-called family. He was always against violence and believed that every matter could be sort out with just talks and mutual understanding.

"Bro!!!! You don't know him!!!! I have spent sometime with him" Joe answered Edgar. Di Vinci never spoke a word, he just tried to understand joe experiecnce with Farhan as he was still calculating his personality.

"I have seen that recklessness in his eyes like he enjoyed the destruction, Even officer Officer Jeff had difficulty handling him" Joe continued.

Di Vinci took a long breath. He tookout his favourite Cuban cigar. He held it tight in his lips, ignite it and started to inhale it's smoke.

"Edgar!!! I wanna talk to you. Meet me in my room"

He walkway, climbing those curled stairs while inhaling the smoke of cigar with pleasure.

.................

Farhan Came out of her bathroom. A hot tub was arranged for him before he climbed those ladders. It was like heaven for him in that moment. His condition had started to recover. He was just wearing his pant as he came out of her bathroom.

She was sitting on her bed, biting her lips and waiting for him desperatly. He stood in front of her.

She took a long breath and gave him a surprised look as she saw him without a shirt. He had to because his cervical spine all the way to his waist had tiny little bits of glasses which were irritating him.

Kathy suddenly stood up

"Yes!!! You can have my bed"

As he was waiting for this permission. He rushed to her bed and laid on it by chest. He was taking long breaths and feeling relaxed in her warm and cozy bed.

"What happened to your back?" She asked him as she gave him a painful expression. She was nervous to see those bits of glasses.

"I ran into some problem. Could you please put them out!!!! They are burning my back as it is placed on a stove" he showed how helpless he was at that moment.

"Don't worry, I am going downstairs for first aid and some food. Will be back in a moment!!! Just relax" she acknowledged him and rushed downstairs closing the door.

His mind was revolving around Kristin. He was trying to remind her image in that new look she had. He was feeling lonely without her.

His desires which had withered in the prison of his heart, were once again at their peek and he could neither divert his mind nor stop thinking about those days full of life and happiness.

It was all his heart and emotions. He tookout her photo from his pocket. It was wet and soft like cotton.

"Shittt!!! Fuck, I am sorry" he mummered to himself.

He somehow unfolded that photo and saw that his eyes couldnt distinguish the colors of the photo. He stared at the photo and tried to imagine it but he couldn't. His mind was reminding of those blasts and bodies stained in blood.

And heard his inner voice

"YOU ARE A BEAST!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE AMOUNG US"

.......................

Edgar walked to his room. His father was sitting with invitation list in his hand and cigar between his lips.

"What is it? Father" he inquired standing at the door.

"Sit down here!!! I want to talk to you. It's important" Di Vinci answered him politely. Edgar sat next to him on the bed as he was curious for his answer.

"We are getting weak!!! Son. Our enemies and traitors sits amoung us and feasts amoung us but we are unaware." He tried to explain to him.

"I can't understand you" Edgar was curious and staring him trying to understand him.

"We are financially getting weak. Lucas is bringing us on our feet. Number of our enemies are increasing as there are few who stands by our side" He continued.

Edgar didn't answered him. He just let him complete first. Di Vinci continued

"You know William's" Di Vinci inquired him as he looked towards him and puffed the cigar.

"That businessman!!! I guesss" he answered him innocently. He was desperate to acknowledge his father intentions.

"She has a daughter!!" Edgar stood up as he knew what his father was gonna tell him next.

"Let me continue"

Edgar took a long breath impatiently giving his father a weird look.

"Just meet her once!! The choice will be yours. I won't force you but trust me this bond is gonna help us very much"

"I don't wanna marry someone at this moment. Mom has just passed "

"Just meet her once. Then decide, and you know your mother always wanted to see you wedding and your wife" Di Vinci reminded him his mother wishes.

"But!!!!"

"Don't forget you are living this first-class life with my wealth. If I am destroyed so are you, I want to save our inheritance. Just meet her and then decide" he awared him of his intentions.

"EVERYTHING IS ON THE EDGE OF THE KNIFE!! SON"

"YOU MAY LEAVE NOW!!!" he answered him. Edgar walked away slowly as he was thinking that maybe his father was right.

.....................

"Now I am also getting worried for him" Joe confessed to Definate.

"Yes!! He must have contacted us!!" Definate and Joe were having wine in the hall. Joe was looking in direction of the downtown while holding glass in his hand close to the window.

"Look we are their destruction" Joe was feeling invincible as he had that pride in his voice.

"I roasted Whesper!!! Gave him a roller coaster ride. Never felt that good and satisfied before" he answered while he took a potation of wine.

"Watchout!! He will be after you like a Mad Dog"

"I wants him to do that!!! To kill him with my own hands" Definate was eager to take avenge him. He was enjoying his enmity with Officer Jeff.

.......................

"Is that Kristin's photo" Kathy inquired him from behind holding first aid kit and bag which surely consist of food.

"Was I guess!! I can't fix it now"

"Maybe I can" she placed the food next to him and opened the first aid kit. She tookout tweezers and some cotton along with ointment.

"Do you still love her?" She asked him curiously while holding the tweezer in her hand and staring him and observing how helpless they were in their love.

"I loved her and always will. Maybe I was not good enough for her but My love was!!!! that's why she still lives in my soul" he answered her without looking at her.

"How can you love someone so rampant , even though not in her presence " she inquired as she started pulling out the bits of glasses from his back.

She was giving him painful expression and as she took out each bit she would look at him if he is comfortable or not. She saw no change in his expression as he was deep in his thought.

"I even didn't needed her presence for extremity of my love. M heart is at peace now to see her happy even though I am not with her" as he looked relaxed.

She stopped pulling those bits and gave him a weird look trying to understand him.

"Sometimes my condition is like I am dying.without her. I can't bare her abcense and quite jealous to think that she is gonna be someone else's but then comforts that at least she will be happy"

She applied the ointment on his back. He sit next to her on the bed. He started to eat the sandwich she provided him from her fridge.

"How is she doing now?"

"She is trying to recover" she answered him while looking at him.

"She had changed a little" he confessed.

She gave him a look like she was asking him" how".

"I saw her tonight. I was roaming like a mad finding shelter when I reached her home. She was reading a book, completly dissolved in it while stared her for a long time from the ground in this condition"

She was feeling pity for him.

"I wanted to meet her but then I realized the difference between us. I was on the ground like a crawling insect while she was a dove that always wanted to fly high in the sky" he answered her while his voice fluttering confessing his bitter truth.

"Yes!! She had changed her hair to something like brownish" she tried to divert the conversation.

"Yea!! Quite long but I always liked her in short hair. Her puff flying dancing in the air. She looked pretty cool in that hairstyle" he answered as his voice started to recover and was getting sweet.

Kathy thought that he wanted to spend his night with her. She always loved him but never disclosed herself. She felt like he was spending night with Kristin memories that had always lived inside him.

At that moment she wanted to confess he love in front of him and makeout with him as it was her only chance. She wanted to hug him tightly and kiss him.

She was never jealous of Kristin. She always had one sided love for him but never disclosed it. She learnt from him that love is to make you partner happy and be happy in her happiness.

She knew that she was always walking on an endless road and even if it does she will only find a broken and scared Farhan on it who will only remind her of his memories and will try to live in them besides the whole world.

She got emotional that he never felt her love. Tears started poiring from her eyes so she stood up trying to hide them. Farhan didnt realize her tears as he was so lost in.her memories.

She took her photo

"I should find a way to fix it" as she started to walk away slowly.

"I need a drink if you can!!!" He requested her without looking at her.

She just shook her head and went out of the room. She rushed to the bathroom and started to cry trying to keep her voice as low as possible. Her love had made her helpless.

Farhan was blessed at that night as he shared his feeling with her and lessened his burden but she couldn't. She always wanted to Express her feelings but she couldn't. As the burden of his love was collecting in her heart since the day she met him in that party and today at that moment, it burst and exploded.

She facilitated him with wine that her father used to drink. Her father never came home that night as he was trying to protect the town the whole night. They were alarmed for another attack which never happened.

.................

Officer Jeff was in his police stations carry the regret and sorrow of Wheeper death. He always blamed himself for what had happened toWhesper and was dying that he couldnt even looked at his face before his death.

Ryan was on the top floor of the restaurant sitting in a corner fully stoned in the dark midnight. He was crying and wiping his tears. He was never that stoned hearted to murder a woman cold bloodily.

Justin was trying to protect his mom after the attack. Their home was burnt to ashes and they were walking on a street shivering in cold. He had put his jacket on her old mother trying to protect her from cold and trying to survive that condition which was caused by Farhan unintentionally.

Edgar was in his room staring at his mom photo. He was so dissolved in her photo and remembering those happy days they had together when their life was like a blessing.

Di Vinci was in his terrace sighting the town and trying to figure out where Farhan could be.

Kristin was still reading the book. She never recovered and won't recover until her last breath. Her tawny hairs would cover her face as she had leant over the book and she would assemble them aside repeadiltly.

Farhan was drinking wine from the bottles as tears were pouring from his eyes. He had regrets and sorrow which were dissolving in the pleasure of the wine. He was trying to wash away his past with wine.

Kathy was lying on the sofa looking at him.

"Why aren't you sleep" she asked him as she was worried for his condition.

"My family haunts me in my dreams!!! I can't sleep but every time Kristin tries to save me" he answered her as his eyes were shining and he was completly stoned until he passed out.

The world was like a hell to them. Everyone stuck in problem and struggling to get away as far as possible. Indeed the world is a cruel place.
