The pleasant meal

Scarlet pov contd

A ray of light had filled his eyes that were difficult to understand. I looked at him with a confused face when his gaze finally moved to my face and he took a deep breath, as if there was a huge burden on his chest.

"I know what you are trying to search for." His words were cryptic, he was again talking like an old man. and I did not understand what he was talking about.

"I am not searching for anything. I know the truth, Elvin. I am just collecting enough proofs against the preparator.'' I assured him that a kid like him should not meddle in this matter. It was not for him to get entangled in a war that could be risky. I did not bring him to risk his life. He was a kid that should be enjoying his life carefree and learning for the future.

He continued to look at me as if piercing my soul and took another deep breath. As if a stone on his chest had lifted up, his solemn face turned light again.
