Chapter 4: Fate

Elizah woke up after a week of rest. Dalil made her sleep for a week by requesting doctors for her physical and mental health.

When she opens her eyes, she saw the room full with different types of flowers. She is staying in most expensive room of the hospital. It's off white comforts her eyes with all the colours of flowers made the room fragmented.

For a moment, she forgot what just happened to her, what did she experienced? The horror of her life, she has been forgotten for long.

With spontaneity, she is looking around of her room if they left any newspaper on her hospital table.

Here they are, she finds out the newspaper. It's on the front page of the newspaper, her dreadful story is written with apologetic and sympathy of the journalist.

And about those thugs, her jaws got harder by their name mentioned, she is saying to herself, those two.....before she can finish her sentence, surprisingly, she got the news what she was looking for.

They were found dead, the fishing boat they were used to runaway, by the horrible fate of the nature, they strangled themselves with the net. It was a very dark and wavy night. Those fishermen didn't noticed when they lost their clients on board. They just found them gone from the boat as they justified to their innocence to the police and reporters. They still have no idea where they went to in the middle of the ocean with their fishing net.

The police later found them caught inside the fishing net of another fisherman. He reported that, he had no idea before he pulled out it from the sea. He was just life usual went for catching a fish when that happened. First they were wondered by the weight of the fish, they thought, they might have caught couples of fish but it was a human body. It was one of those two thugs. The police and reporters were astonished by the sight of the horrible ending of those thugs and the other one is still missing.

Their parents were reported their missing report to the police right after Elizah's incident. Then the Elizah's incident missing those thugs, probably two of then.

The police and reporters got curious about the whole thing and found out the missing clues that they were a rich two brothers, came to this small town to take a vacation in their hometown house.

Where they somehow in need of an emergency cash, a certain amount of money they need to get back to their home that they couldn't asked from their parents because they came here with their girlfriends for secret rendezvous.

At that point, they looted those two old couples because they were alone that night. At first, they darken out the whole area then they took the chance to kill them on the spot.

Their only grandchild was in her business meeting. When she got home, she too caught by those thugs, strangled, struggled victim like her saved by the local police.

Police found her in very disrespectful manner, as a normal hardworking woman, police didn't want to mentally torture her more by unnecessary questioning, so as the reporters.

They didn't even gave anyone any permission to take her any photos or to mention their name.

The good news of these bad incident is, she is rescued by the police at prompt time and those thugs got what as they fated for.

Lyaan enters into the Elizah's room with flowers, fruits and chocolates. They shared a long glance for a moment. Then first Lyaan breaks the long paused silence between each other.

Elizah never saw Lyaan in such a devastating conditions. His eyes filled with waters. He is normally very self controlled person but now he is looking very soft and emotional.

As fastly as he could, he just kept those things of his hands on the table and sat on her side.

Lyaan says, how are you? with his watery eyes. Elizah didn't say anything, lowered her long eyelashes to her hands that she holding with each other.

Lyaan asks her again, are you okay? Do you feel well?

Elizah then asks him, when did you come back? If you were here then all those things probably never happened to me, then she started to cry and so as Lyaan, himself.

She adds then I was in very desperate situations then, my grandparents were dead by my side and then they....again she falls into a deep long silent agony, her eyes turned into a red ocean, water is not stopping to fall.

Lyaan is too crying on his limits of fate.

After a long paused of tears, Elizah asks to know the whereabouts of Dalil, where is he?

Lyaan says, when I came to know about you and your family from my father. I ran into the hospital to see you. He was here waiting for someone probably me, to take your responsibility.

Elizah asks, did he said anything about me?

Lyaan says, yes, he gave your new house keys and said to me, to take care of you. He will come back later. He had to do something very important.

Elizah then adds, you know Lyaan, Dalil was the one who rescued me when those thugs ran away because of lights on, not the police, but newspaper said it was police, it's not seemed justified.

Lyaan then give her empathy and says, man like him doesn't need any kind of encouragement or acknowledgement of what he did for you, probably, it's for the best.

Don't worry, you take care of yourself, get healthy, when he comes back, we will give him our respect and show our gratitude for what he did. I am here for you now, I will make sure that you get cured.

Lyaan helped her to get on her two feet again. She wanted to see their home for the very last time, where she lived from her childhood and saw her grandparents to die.

But Lyaan didn't allowed her to be in that house again, moreover, he took her to Dalil's house to stay.

Lyaan shifted Elizah's all things to that new house. And with permission of Elizah's he demolished the whole house and made it empty place.

Elizah wanted to know about her grandparents dead bodies, Lyaan said, it's with your parents.

Elizah and Lyaan then planned to make a fishing park for kids on that vacant place.

And Elizah proposed to Lyaan to come with his father into her house to stay and leave that rental home because she is all alone.

Furthermore, Dalil came back to join them for her further advancement of her business and train her for it.

Lyaan and Dalil becoming quite a good friend lately, both of them helped out Elizah to her kid's fishing park.

Both of them feeling very proud of each other for doing this. Children can play around and learn about the fishing.

They don't know why but both of them can't make themselves Elizah's lover or anyone could say can't even dream of being her lover to be her husband.

They are just like someone else's who loving each other's companionship rather than being her lover.

Elizah thought it might be because of her malevolent and malicious experiences that both of them can't make themselves to love her but later it seems she was wrong.
