Chapter - 18 (Calm after the storm)

After everything retired to the same as usual and as Smita is no more . After killing her Carolina and Alice hugged each other and we're talking about having a movie night tonight .

Carolina's P.O.V

After telling Alice about the movie night I told the guards to bury Smita's body in a cemetery and give me the details and then told everyone " You can take rest if you want and maybe change then we all will meet at the living room I have to talk with everyone about some things . Ok ? I asked . They heard me and went to their respective ways without disturbing as I went straight to my room and then went to the bathroom staring at the socket inside the bathroom which held something that only I knew off . My old and only secret that nobody knows not even the devil's . It was a half truth of what I told my parents , I mean yes I got most off my scars from my past and recent kidnapping but some in my thighs were from..... from the time I started self-harming . At first it was some small scratches but gradually my motives started becoming more deep and more understanding , though I knew the consequences that I would not be able to stop it but according to me those were some battle scars I NEEDED , some I DESERVED for the things I did and did not do . On top of the socket had a small blade found from a pencil sharpener , which nobody saw or heard . After some more tempting thoughts and some scars I changed in to my pajamas and went downstairs .

I went towards the control room to tell my guards the change of plans of the lockdown and some more changes like adding security and recruiting some more trust worthy guards . After that I went towards the kitchen with the thought of me cooking for the whole family . I thought of making my favourite pasta and some cocktail drinks . I started by boiling the penne pasta and made the white sauce and fried eggs and sausage and mixed it with the white sauce and then I mixed everything and put it in the oven . Then I took a huge bowl and made my famous mixed drink that I have when I am having a low pressure . As I was plating it two little hands came and hugged my torso. " we missed you so much ! Will you play with us now ?" said Kai ( Carolina's younger brother) and Rakib together . I stopped plating and bend down to their level and said " I missed you guys too and yes we will play a lot , I hope you didn't disturb anyone did you ? ". " No , we didn't disturb anyone but Al sis asked me what did you say in my ear before you went for a long time ." said Rakib . "You didn't say anything , right ? " I said

Alice"s P.O.V

When I was coming towards the kitchen I smelled Lin"s cooking and when I went a little closer I heard Rakib say " no I didn't say anything to her and I didn't tell anyone what you told me because I promised you ."" Good , now boys did you eat anything if not I made creamy pasta . Would you like some ?" said Carolina." Yes ! Yes! Yes! I will have pasta . I love pasta made by you it's the best " said Kai and Rakib together . after hearing all this I made my presence known to everyone and asked Lin "Hey can I have some too ? " " After you wash your hand and call everyone down for dinner then we all will have dinner " she said . After that I first called everyone for dinner and then told everyone to wash their hand and the I also washed my hands and went to sit in the dinning room to eat . When I saw Lin pass everyone's plate to everyone and I went to help she said It's ok and kept passing and then only some people didn't get the pasta , everyone thought there was shortage of food , but us devil's knew that Lin could never make less food and then I saw her bring a tray of food and started saying " There was not a shortage of food but this plate is for auntie Evanna and dad which has less cholesterol , This plate is for Rafid with no peanuts , this one is for dida and nanu with less salt and this one is for my godmother with less salt and less cholesterol . Enjoy everyone . " . After saying this she sat and took her medicines and started eating less than usual which was a little suspicious but then she started drinking her juice , a lot actually which was not unusual for us .

Rafid's P.O.V

How can someone be so selfless and take care of everyone even when they are suffering she remembered everyone's problem and made food according to that and had her own food . At first I thought she was only a bad girl but she's opening herself like an onion . She has so many different layers , each showing a different side of her which she doesn't shows to everyone . Though she argues with her parents but she loves them so much and how she takes care of everyone in so many ways . Like , she took care of us when our life was suppose to be in danger and then she took care of our studies and then she took care of the kids . She is actually a Queen .

Carolina's P.O.V

After I gave everyone their food I took my medicines and started having my food but I couldn't even take more , they took so many things from me and one of them was my appetite . I had so much drink my pressure is too low I need to take my medicines . "River could you come here please " I said . After he came I told him to bring my pressure medicines making sure nobody heard me or else they would cancel the movie night . Then secretly I had the medicine and finished my dinner and then stood up and seeing that everyone's eyes were on me I saw dad finished eating and brought dad's , Evanna auntie's medicine and gave them . After I made sure they had than I started taking the plates . " Ow ! Ow ! Ow! why are you holding my ears ? what did I do now I had my medicines before dinner ." I told to Dr.Zane and my long friend ,then he told me to take the medicines after the dinner and I took them, I knew better to not interfere between him and his patients and right now I was his patient . From the far I saw Al , Leo , Em , Gab , Alex , Rico and River looking at me in amusement and sheepishly smiling and I roared " who called him will clean the whole laundry room" and Alex went towards the laundry room and then I said " Just wait and see how I increase your training Alex " . Hearing this everyone started laughing and went towards the movie room and we started watching Angry birds series and when I fell asleep I don't know .

Thanks , .
