Edward’s POV— ( Past Life)I don’t know why but I guess my feelings for Clara are stronger than what I thought it might get! I knew it already when I told her my real name and also when I decided to spend twenty days from the day we reach our home that I have promised her! But when I lost her I became mad and I felt a strange sense of loss which I feel when I think of how I will have to lose my mother! It feels wrong but the sense of loss towards Clara felt even greater! There is a strange pull I had, an attraction as if I we are destined for each other and maybe we were together in the previous life and couldn’t be together at the end? Who knows? Maybe these stuffs about the past lives were true!!I wanted to clear the misunderstandings between us but she was so hurt that she didn’t speak to me at all other than a few words necessary! I was guilty! Though I didn’t have sex with Betty but I still let her touch me, my bo

 Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)I don’t know why this is happening but the more I try to finish my job quickly, the more I try to fulfil my promise of giving Clara twenty days of life and hand her over, destiny or fate whatever you may call it, keeps delaying the process! At first she fell sick and almost nine days were lost and now I am so much injured and weak that I had to spend four days in the motel recovering from the wounds and fever and I don’t think, I will be able to move before at least two more days!You may wonder, what type of person I am who despite confessing, agreeing that I have started considering Clara as my wife and may even have started liking her more and more by each passing day, I am still thinking of giving her off to my boss! Yes, a person who is hanging in between love for his dying mother and a lot of liking towards his wife who might be even the love of his life! I am a f*cking as*hole who has a complicat

 Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)Edward sighed and running his fingers through his hair as he kept looking at the aisle behind which Clara has disappeared! Several thoughts were running through his mind. He remembered what Clara spoke by mistake at the stream. She said, ‘my house, my husband, my children’! Though it slipped off her lips and she didn’t finish the sentence, it was not hard to imagine that she wanted to make a family with Edward, a real family!“Why did we have to meet like this God?” Edward muttered closing his eyes tight to fight the tears and strode out of the store.He went out towards a tavern and looking around carefully entered. He walked towards the counter and asked for a beer. He kept looking around while drinking his beer. Johny was supposed to meet him at the tavern and he was waiting for him. He has to quickly finish talking to Johny and then return to Clara. It is good that Clara wil

 Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)Seeing Edward’s situation and silence and also Johny’s fear, Clara finally said, “The package is here! I AM THE PACKAGE!”“WHAT!!!” Both Johny and Edith said in unison. They were both shocked and couldn’t understand if it was a joke or Clara was serious!They both looked at Clara and Edward and then they exchanged a glance of concern among themselves.“You are serious, aren’t you? You are the girl who is supposed to be handed over to the boss. You aren’t joking! Are you?” Johny didn’t even know what to think! Clara’s facial expression revealed that what she said was true but it was something impossible because Johny knows exactly when the kidnapping has happened! How can the person kidnapped fall in love and marry her kidnapper just in a few days?? How can the kidnapper especially when the one is like Mark, fall in love with

  Johny’s POV— ( Past Life)The Mark I have known has changed. Even when he first started working with us, he was very reserved and hardly spoke. I was the only person with whom he would talk and even with me he hardly spoke a few sentences, leave alone laugh or even smile! The boss always tells me still now that Mark is best in the kidnapping job because neither does he get attached to the victims nor does he hurt them! He always maintains a straight and cold, detached demeanour! He has even kidnapped women before but never ever did he slip! Even in personal life he was always a loner and an aloof person! Whenever I asked about having anyone special, Mark used to reply very briefly, ‘I only care for one woman and that is my mother! There is neither time nor place for another!’That Mark was so deeply in love with a woman whom he is supposed to handover to the boss! I didn’t know what
