Later that day ….I sniffled in deeply as i just let the tears flow from my eyes down to my cheeks, I felt my dad hands on my shoulder rubbing it comfortingly, but I just felt too distraught to be comforted.How can everything with my life go so wrong just within a very short period of time, I stared at my mother in the upgraded room that Adil had let them put her in, with all the tubes and pipes connected to her body and my heart broke.My mother cannot just go like this, I haven’t even had the opportunity to enjoy the mother and daughter relationship for so long.All through my childhood and even until late adulthood, my mother had always been so engrossed with work and had little or no time for me, I grew up tending towards only my dad until about some five years ago, i was just twenty then, right off teenage age, I couldn’t hold it in again and the most hurting part of it was that she didn’t even realize I felt neglected, only then did she actually slow down and began to try to f
Adil.Later that morning 9:00am …“You’re doing the most honestly!” I grumbled behind the steering of my car, my grip on the wheel tightening as I took the left and turned onto his street.He had just arrive town today and he insisted on me coming to pick him up at the airport.“You have a babe, you should just have called her,” I added in a murmur, passing him a side glance as I simultaneously tried to keep my eyes on the road.“After everything you’ve done to me, picking me up should be the least you can do for me,” he replied dramatically and I rolled my eyes.Eden was the perfect friend for me, we met while we were still in high school, he was the jovial one and I was the reserved one, we never spoke to each other because I considered him too noisy and careless and he considered me arrogant and too quiet for his liking.Until we got paired for our senior year project, we were three in the group, Myself, Eden and Laura.All three of us just got to find out that our perception of ea
Janelle.Meanwhile ….“I tried calling you yesterday, you weren’t answering, are you sure everything is okay?” Bella asked walking beside me as I walked into the office, I shook my head slowly as I held my bag up to my elbow, without breaking our strides we walked into my office, I slowly turned to look at her with a small exhale.“A little emergency came up yesterday, I’m sorry, what do you have for me,” I replied, I dropped my bags on the table and turned to look at her leaning onto the table and folding my hands across my chest.“As you asked I looked into the message you got,” She began as she flipped her iPad open and turned it to me, I gently took it from her and peered into it,“Apparently the message was sent from a location around here,” she muttered as her hands circled around a particular location on the map on the far left, I nodded slowly as I just listened to her speak, “The message seemed to have come without a number, whoever sent it must be very good at his job,” she
Janelle Later that day, At home …..6:00pm The doorbell rang loudly echoing throughout the house, I looked down at Tehilla who was sitting in between my legs on the floor as I assisted her with her assignment,“Dada,” she said looking up at me, I gently dropped her pencil on the floor, got up from the floor and headed towards the door.I pulled the door open and my heart unintentionally skipped a beat as soon as I saw who it was! Ma’am Becky.I cleared my throat immediately as I tried to adjust my dress, I pulled the door open wider for her and stepped away for her to come in.Her face held no expression, with her shoulders up high, she walked into the house with a confident stride.“Grandma!” Tehilla greeted as she stood up from where she was seated, ran towards her and wrapped her hands around her legs where her height stopped.I saw a look of disgust cross her face but it disappeared as soon as it came, she gently took her hands and pulled her away from her.“I can see you’re go
Janelle.He took out an handkerchief from his pocket and my head got calculating, what a sloppy method of trying to get me, the alley was very deserted and quiet, he placed the handkerchief over my nose, I held my breath deeply and struggled with him for some seconds, after some seconds, I let go of myself in his arms and stopped struggling with him as I slowly pushed myself to the floor, as soon as I saw that his grip on me had loosened, I grabbed his arms and flipped him over slamming his back on the floor.As soon as I did that i rushed for the handkerchief that had now fallen down on the floor, I placed it over his nose and pressed him to the floor tightly.Immediately I was sure that he had gone unconscious, I gently stood up from his side my breath heavy and just then i looked up and saw three other guys infront of me, I gently tried to stabilize my breathing as I stepped back slowly, it was a close and there wasn’t actually any way out except for where they stood.My gaze moved
Adil.“I need you to monitor your wife,”“She’s showing symptoms of depression,”“I need you to bring her to the hospital for an MRI, I really can’t confirm what I’m not sure of,”“Janelle will never come with me to the hospital,” “Then for now, just make sure she’s not stressed and let her use the drugs I gave until you’re able to convince her,”My conversation with the doctor could not stop running through my mind, and I couldn’t stop thinking about what would have happened if I hadn’t shown up there, I shuddered at the thought that she could have died.I just felt like she was taking too long already, Atleast if she wanted to take an angry walk she should have been back, I couldn’t stay back anymore and then I decided to go check for her.Even the doctor’s diagnosis I couldn’t really understand what he meant he spoke like she had one terminal illness and nothing I said to him made him tell me exactly what was going on.He just kept on asking me to bring her to the hospital for a
Janelle That morning …..“Are you fine?!” My team members asked rushing towards me immediately I walked into the office, a smile touched my lips, they didn’t stop walking they just followed me to my office.“You don’t have to worry guys, it was nothing serious!” I replied, they exhaled deeply with a sigh of relief and my smile even widened, Atleast some people were genuinely worried for me.“My husband have the guys who attacked me in jail, so I would want you and Serena to go speak with them,” I said and they nodded slowly in agreement, I gently turned to look at Bella,“Bella and I would speak to John Max’s assistant together,” I said and they all nodded.“But there a small tiny problem though,” Chad said and we all turned to look at him, he cleared his throat and continued speaking.“I’ve tried to get to speak with his assistant but it seems like she doesn’t want to speak to anyone, they have decided to not pursue the case,” I exhaled deeply nodded slowly as I tried to digest his
Janelle ….Evening that day ….I gently picked up my notepad and placed them in my bag as I prepared to leave, the door to my office slowly went open and I looked up to see Serena walk in.“You guys are back quite late,” I muttered as she walked towards my table,“We ran into a bit of traffic on our way back,” she replied and I nodded slowly.“Have Chad send the report of your outing today to my email, and I gave the report of our meeting today with Alyssa to Bella, she’ll give it to you, I need you to verify the veracity of that report,” I said and she nodded slowly, she was our intelligence office, so before we act on any lead it has to go through her.“Okay then,” she replied and with that she turned around and walked out of the office.I exhaled deeply, it was time to go home.****I hummed the lyrics of my favourite song -oceans as I drove down to the house, just as I turned onto our close, I saw I black jeep packed in front of our house, and just as I got closer, I saw a lady wa
