...Doubts (2)...

Laila kept ignoring Dylan all the way to the airport, he tried so many times to talk to her, but she refused even to look at him until he ran out of patience.

" I can't do this anymore. "

He suddenly grabbed her from her hand and dragged her away, while leaving Aaron, and Sarra behind.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING DYLAN? LET GO!

- I must talk to you.

- I SAID LET ME GO! I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU.

Sarra sighed:

- Let's sit for a bit, Aaron. I think it's going to take a while for them to finish their argument.

Dylan kept dragging her away until they were far enough, then he let go of her hand.

Laila looked extremely angry.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

- How can you say that? You have been ignoring me since this morning.

- I THOUGHT WE HAD NOTHING TO DISCUSS AFTER YOU REFUSED TO TALK TO ME YESTERDAY.

Dylan looked depressed:

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean that...I was just confused and didn't know what to say. I was afraid to make things worse.

- BUT YOU ALREADY DID.

Laila turned around and was about to leave, but Dylan held her hand:

- I know...I shouldn't be such a coward. I should have only asked, but I was afraid. We finally cleared all the misunderstandings between us and became together. I was afraid that we will grow apart again because you....you...

- Because I'm lying to you again. Is that what you thought?

- .....

- I'm very disappointed not because you still doubt me, but because you didn't even bother to ask.

Dylan pulled Laila and looked straight at her eyes:

- How did you know that the emerald was the right choice?

Laila was about to cry, but she held herself back:

- I wasn't sure at first. I noticed that we already encountered the other colors (Red, blue, and golden).

- So, we needed to take the green. The only color that we didn't have.

- Yeah, that's what I thought.

- What about the diamonds? You gave them to Aramis, back in India. Were you meeting him behind my back?

- Dylan, how could I meet him while I didn't leave your side for even a moment?

- I don't trust that thing...He seems that he is willing to hurt anyone to reach his goal.

- When he saved us from Mei, he put the diamonds inside my bag. In case we will need them.

- He gave them back to you this simply? After all that he did to us in India?

- He wants this mission to succeed more than anyone. He knew that he won't be able to do anything on his own and he needs your help to find the treasure. So, he must cooperate or he will lose this chance forever.

Dylan didn't have any other words to say. When he saw her teary eyes, he felt regretful that he didn't ask those questions earlier.

He hugged her tightly while taking a deep breath.

- I'm sorry...I'm very sorry...You know how much I love you. I can't afford to lose you. I suffered so much in the past and I don't want to experience that pain again.

Laila's anger faded away, she knew that Dylan was concerned about her. She hugged him back while patting his back:

- Don't worry, I won't leave your side. I...I love you too, and I hope you trust me more.

After their reconciliation, they went back to Aaron, Sarra, and Annie while holding hands.

- I see that you finally solved your issue.

- Yeah, we managed to talk and clear some misunderstandings.

- Good, we need to hurry up.

They rode the train and headed back to the city. Though It was a long trip, they took it as a chance to have more sleep.

Finally, they managed to arrive at the airport. Sarra felt so energetic after such a long rest. She approached Dylan while preparing her hand to use magic:

- Aaron, are you ready to become invisible?

Aaron backed off while looking annoyed:

- That won't happen ever again. I had enough already.

- But We must get on board.

- I will take Dylan's place, I think he will be glad to switch our seats.

Dylan liked the idea:

- Well, I don't mind that, but what about Annie?

- My daughter will stay with me. Laila can take her place.

- Alright, let's try that.

Sarra changed the photos of the passports using her magic.

- The passports are ready. I think this will be enough.

Then she cast the invisible spell on Dylan and Laila.

- It is done, We are ready for our next destination.....
