Arrow and I stepped out of the house while Jemima remained inside, her slumber undisturbed. The sunlight poured warmth around us.Just as we were beginning to enjoy our quiet morning walk, a small pocket-rocket zoomed past with great enthusiasm. I was taken by surprise, seeing Dawn trotting towards us with lively little legs.I took advantage of a passing angle, and there in the distance was another man waving us goodbye. Surprise, curiosity, and mild worry poured within me. Who was that man, and why was Dawn with him?With dawn approaching, I was caught by her bright smile and her sparkling eyes. "Mommy, Mommy!" was the excited call by her tiny voice, holding a biscuit in her hand, and neatly dressed hair was proof that somebody else took care of the child.It was amazing to realize how well taken care of my little girl was and how happy she appeared. A mixed wave of emotion - relief and thankfulness but also with a strong element of intense love- cresting in my heart, and when I loo
KALMIA’S POV The face of Jemima lit up as if carrying all the lights from heaven, her eyes sparkling as diamonds beneath the sun, showing what looked like the brightest love towards Dawn-an undiluted, pure love, strong and unwavering. All her being radiated warm happiness as if that even the presence of Dawn had ignited that kind of burning fire inside her being. She hastened to open her arms and attempted to wrap them around Dawn in that warm, close embrace, as if the girl would not let her ever go anymore. A sweet sound escaped as her lips brushed against Dawn's face and followed it with soft kisses before whispering sweet nothings in her ear. The very voice was so soothing like music with a sweet gentle melody that seemed to got into Dawn's soul. Jemima's hands stroked Dawn's face, tracing the beautiful contour lines of her cheeks, her nose, and finally her lips, as though memorizing every detail and feature of the expression. "My darling, how are you doing?" asked Jemima, her v
ARROW’S POV There comes a sit-out where there will be a sunny afternoon bathing the freshly manicured lawns of grass with rays of sunlight that sweep down to floor level. The scent of freshly cut grass chimed in with the chirp of birds, fluffing the ambiance around us with tranquility. Tourists were all over this place, almost literally spilling out in glee for the family picnic. With that, Dawn saw the sight and her eyes sparkled with joy, her little voice ringing with jubilation as she yelled, "Yeah, we're here, Daddy!" Her ponytail bobbed up and down as the little one energetically hopped and ran out of the car. Laying out mats on the grassy stretch was the next thing we did. The soft sound of rustling mats as we spread them out was in harmony with the mild rustling of the nearby trees from the breeze. Dawn had gathered her pack of mats with Jemima and Kally quietly working great efficiency with smooth hands that brushed away wrinkles. But Dawn had other ideas. She made a beelin
ARROW’S POV It was magnificent sunshine, and in the entirety of the scene, Dawn and I walked to the car slowly, the gentle sounds of gravel crunching underfoot promising to soothe. The tune that lay softly in the background seemed so in time with the rhythm of our feet; Dawn's humming formed a most harmonious accompaniment to the music, indicating yet again serenity wrapped around us both. That was what the outside world became as we drove away from there: dramatic scenes with rolling landscapes, thick woods, and bright flowers leaping up and down like nature's ballet still throwing about colors in the light wind. But then, inside the car, it was just easy, pure with Dawn's buzzing and soft music - creating a soothing theatrical ambiance lulling the whole outside world into a quiet slumber. And there we were finally at the proverbial place, Dawn and me out of that car. We stretch our muscles, reflecting on the sights and sounds of the sit-out. The sun was at its prime, complemented
ARROW’S POV THE NEXT MORNING As my eyes peeled open, warm sun rays crept inside the window and lovingly shone on my room. I was stretching my body and letting go of any feelings of tiredness from the previous day. Turning to the left, my gaze fell on Kalmia, my lovely wife, in deep slumber. Her face shone brightly, glowing from within with some ethereal charm almost unreal. But it was the extra glow that came on her face this particular day. It was indeed very marvelous and luminant - her skin shining like a brilliant flower reflecting sunrays-and I could not help thinking with pride and wonder, "My sperms sure are working wonders on Kalmia." I was just brushing my fingers against her soft cheeks, for I was feeling the gentle warmth upon my skin. The sight of her soft face fully resembled a rose petal. Her beautiful curves sparkled in my mind as I caressed that face: the slightly irregular curve of the delicate nose leading to the luscious lips. With each passing moment, my he
ARROW’S POV The moment was a blissful cocoon wrapped around me, and suddenly I was disturbed by the sound of knocking on the door. "Who is that?" I asked in a low husky voice as I slowly drew myself from Kalmia’s embrace. The throbbing of my whole desire down there was feeling lost, with her pussy warmth disappearing away. "It's me, Daddy," came the soft voice from outside the door. "May I come in?” Yes, it was Dawn, our daughter, and her child-like voice was like that cold splash of water, effectively breaking whatever was going on between Kalmia and I . Kalmia’s eyes went wide with alarm as she quickly sat up with a face clouded in concern. "We can't have Dawn see this, please," she hissed urgently, as hands were getting busy making signs at me to get dressed. I nodded rapidly in answer, and immediately we both scrambled to get our clothes on, with hands rushing across bodies side to side. Once upon a time, the respectable walls of Kalmia’s and my conscience established mutu
KALMIA’S POV The man's voice still echoed in the chambers of my mind, while I stood there, phone still locked in my palm; I just couldn't miss the memory of the words, sending lots of cold chills shivering down my spine. He had said, "Just be careful, dear." His voice was low and all mysterious again. "Because she keeps planning everything, every time." Anxiety rushed in. My mind raced with questions. Who might this woman be? What would she plan? I tried to shake off these thoughts and concentrate on the present. "Okay, sir, will be careful," I shrilled, trying to sound really cool and convincing. The man disconnected the call, leaving me to wonder about this unknown warning. I turned to go back towards the house, and a faint voice called. "Mama, Mama!" Dawn could screech in small, excited tones. "I am famish!" she continued, eyes twinkling with all the desires of hunger. And I smiled, with something warm inside me. "I am sorry, my love," I said, pulling her into my arms. "Let m
JEMIMA’S POV Somehow, I remember when the first occasion took place for Visha to call me her lesbian slut. In her apartment, the lighting was low, and soft music filled the air. I was nervous as well as excited. I had been curious about women, Visha being the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Coruscating heat played with her long curly hair, full lips, and body that would make any woman dizzy. Sitting on the couch, she looked at me with a kind of hunger I had never seen before. She leaned in to kiss me with soft inviting lips-I responded eagerly as my body went up in flames. . "I'm going to make you scream, little slut." Then she threw me back on the couch, wide-open legs lifted. Her gaze fell on my pussy, which was already slick with anticipation. Down she went, kissing my inner thighs en route to my wetness. I was moaning in tantalizing delight as her teasing tongue gilded ever so slightly across my clit. She began to play with my clit, her fingers sliding in and out
KALMIA’S POV Her words seemed to slice through the air like a knife, and her voice dripped with venom voicing all her discontent. "I never liked you, Kalmia," she said, looking at me with flashing eyes of fury and disdain. There was this sensation of hurt, surprise mixed with confusion as I furrowed my brows to understand the depth of her emotions. "What do you mean?" I queried in a whipser, scanning her countenance for signs of weakness. The bitterness on that face twisted into a smile that shone malignant hues in her eyes. "So you said I hurt you, and I'm apologizing now, this?" My voice had incredulity and frustration laced into it. How could she even think that I would accept that as compensation for all the damage she had done? Memories of past confrontations and betrayals rushed into my consciousness, replete with a sudden surge of fury and spite against her. Visha was a semblance of what one could have guessed-trapped deeply in her emotions, longing and thirsting for an uni
KALMIA’S POV I wait outside the cell, anxiously glancing at Mr. Isah with a pleading face while panting in anticipation, tinged with a bit of nervousness. "I'm looking forward to seeing my lost sister, Visha," I say, voice almost inaudible, spilling from my mouth like a confession. Mr. Isah inclined his head in deep understanding; his very look was sympathetic, and turned to lead me through the station, his long strides chewing up the distance into nothingness. Strong cold fluorescent light above the hub flickered and hummed, casting a glaring light on those forms. A heavy, cloying scent of disinfectant hovered in the stagnant air, mixed with a cursed faint tang of despair. My footsteps echoed down the walls as I walked with Mr. Isah into the depths of the station. When we arrived at the cell, Mr. Isah grasped the handle and pushed it open in a slow creak before stepping inside, leaving a dim light casting long shadows across the little room. "Visha", I called, my voice so sweet, l
MR ISAH’S POV I sat at the station in the dark. The soft fluorescent light above cast an eerie glow on the empty chairs and faded floor. Anticipation held my heart in its place, echoing like the drumbeat in my chest throughout my entire being. "Just wai for me, sir," I mumbled to myself with eyes turned toward the phone, where a text from Kalmia said: "I'm on my way", flashing on the screen like a light at the end of a tunnel. "Okay then," I said to myself, slumping back in the chair, a wave of relief washing through my being with the straightening of my spine on the worn-out issue. Time moved forward, and in this losing dusky space, each second was a drag for eternity. I checked my watch what would seem like a million times but felt like the hundredth. My eyes scanned the entire empty station that was growing more impatient with each passing second. The silence clamped down hard, occasionally punctuated with the creaks in the old building and traffic buzzing outside. I shifted in
MR ISAH’S POV Between walls of thickest warm air, bound by oppressive scents of sweat mingled with fear, I could hardly draw breath, and every breath that I drew seemed to carry some foreign weight crushing into my chest. Visha sat all hunched over in the wooden bench; shoulders barely perceptibly shook; her eyes looked down, refusing to meet mine, locked in mute insubordination to the unasked questions between us. A stubborn silence, thick and impenetrable, stretched between us and with every passing moment added that still very coiled tension within me. "Visha, I'm not answering any of your questions," she finally whispered, so softly it was hard to hear, like a thin thread in an oppressive hush. Although soft, the words smote me with the force of a corporeal blow, burning up the sparks of fury that had been at hand ever so low. "Then okay," I replied in said low, almost dangerous tone, "you are going to do that pen now." It was just a matter-of-fact statement, in the air of an
MR ISAH’S POV The officer was swift in his movements as he quickly went to handcuff himself and brought out the cold, cruel metal that condemned even the eye of authority under fluorescent light. He moved with practiced ease as he snapped the iron restraints for the inevitable fate into place around Visha's wrists, the cliched sound like that of a prison door shutting. A clang like that of metal sounded ominously echoed around the cell. "No, ooooo," she screamed, her voice raising up in a desperate crescendo, trying to free herself from the steel cage. With her contorted body, she twisted and thrashed to no avail, digging deep the cruel bite of the cuffs into her skin. That metal sparkled like it was catching the light with a sinister radiance, almost seeming to taunt her with the cold, unyielding grip of reality. Her wrists seemed to have strained against the bindings, tendons standing out clearly as she struggled. As she fought against the handcuffs and began gasping more and mor
VISHA’S POV About halfway through scaling the fence and reaching the top of the pole with my hands, I strained to boost myself up when I heard behind me the crunch of gravel footsteps. That sudden noise sent a bolt of dread surging through me, and I froze, fretting beneath the pumped rush of my heart. It left my mind blank with a complete psychological paralysis that made it difficult for me to think or even move. "I arrest you," he declared, his voice reverberating through the night, sounding almost like a funeral bell. This revitalized my stupor like splashes of cold water. Officer's words put in the air the formality of that situation. "Come down," they commanded him, sounding strenuous and authoritative in tone. There was that swell of reluctance, the unwillingness of my body to listen, but I knew I had no choice. I began easing myself down and letting the hands slip from the fence as I fell to the ground. Every footfall driving into the ground became deafeningly loud like som
VISHA’S POV I was sitting in my office, lit only by the computer screen glimmering on my face as I awaited the emergence of this very message on my desktop. A rush of anxious happiness surged through me; my heart raced with expectancy. With a purpose that was near to mania, my fingers began to type as I opened the message that contained the address for the person we had chased for so long. I felt like an electrifying spark coursing through my body: it was time. Without hesitation, I activated working mode; execution took over—just like one hundred thousand times before. "Men!" I yelled to my team, sturdy and decisive, like a thunderclap in the office. My boys, all junior in rank to me, came flocking to my side in a state of excitement and anticipation. "Yes, sir! Yes, sir!" they said in chorus, almost kneeling before me. Expectation filled their eyes. I instructed them articulately and brief, my tone steady and calm. "Get the van ready, we need to arrest a suspect," I uttered. T
ARROW’S POV I dialed Mr. Isah's line, my fingers seemingly having a mission of their own, as I anticipated his pick-up. I had known Mr. Isah since I was a boy and now a cop; I could always count on him for something: a source of counsel and support. The ringing gave me a major sense of relief. I was calling someone who might help. "Is he on yet?" Kalmia asked me, curious and worried. I nodded and kept my eyes glued to that phone, waiting for Mr. Isah to pick up. "Yes, my love; do not worry," I tried reassuring her that everything would work out. When Mr. Isah finally picked up, I cheerfully said, "Good day, Mr. Isah." "Good day, Arrow; how have you been?" came the deep and authoritative reply from the other end. I smiled; it had been a comforting voice through time. "Very well, sir," I answered, almost overacting in my calmness and composure. "Ah, that's good to hear; what do you need from me today?" was his cordial tone. I inhaled deeply to compose myself and start the reason for
ARROW’S POV I leaned against her, my neck muscles relaxed as they reveled in relief. She would sit better or worse besides me, and I felt that gladness in having her there. The two of us stood for some time, just holding on to each other-the tension and chaos of the outside world momentarily forgotten. I knew as well that I was looking toward whatever was next with Kalmia; no matter what it was, we would get through it together. I felt thankful that it was there. I softly parted from her, grabbing Kalmia’s gaze. "I have to find out what this Visha has on me," I continued, resolutely now, the weight of my words pressing against her. "I don't know what lies between us, but I want to learn what she knows about my mother." Kalmia had that thinking pose painted all over her: eyes slightly narrowed as she measured me up. "I wonder if that's wise," she spoke. It had a rather content reluctance. "I don't care." Instead, the more resolved I grew, the steadier grew my voice. "I must have t
