A few hours ago...
I was back into that small room whose small bulb was flickering in the corner. I clutched into the corner with fear as someone opened the door of my room and somewhere I knew who it was. As the door opened he was there, standing. He came in with a thin wooden stick in his one hand, it was thin but strong. As he came more nearer to me the faster my heart started to beat. He finally bent down up to my level and said,
'Why can't you understand dear, I'm your father.' His eyes were filled with tears that can roll down from his cheeks and get vanished in his thick beard anytime.
'All you have to do is, call me father. Can't you do that much for your father, Darling?' He said and wiped his unshed tears.
After spending almost a week in this house I got to know somethings about him. His daughter ran away somewhere, obviously who will live with a psychopathic father. She never came back since and he has grown more maniac due to her. My analysis says that his daughter could be a young woman otherwise why would he choose me. I mean I'm not a teenager after all.
But I had no sympathy for him, moreover, I hold grudges against that girl who ran away from her dad and made me fall in this pit. Though I can't remember much of my past I know that if I have a father he wouldn't be obviously like him.
'So, now, address me as your father and apologize for not doing so.' He said and reached for the collar of my shirt I was wearing.
'So..rry.' Was all I said.
As soon I ended the sentence without addressing him as my father he stood upright and rubbed his forehead with his hand
'What. Is. Your. Problem!!' He yelled and I shivered.
He slapped me tightly and beat me with that thin wooden stick till my wounds that had started to heal today were all fresh. Blood again started to flow out of my wounds. It was extremely painful. I was feeling dizzy cause I hadn't eaten anything past few days. Things now started to get blurred out sometimes all of a sudden. But still, I was here not dead and feeling all pain...
'Let's finish it here.' He said and pushed my head towards the wall behind me.
And I sat upright on my bed, panting.
'You.. you're alright...Sarah? I heard you screaming.' Asked Anna who was sitting beside my bed don't know since when.
I was heavily sweating and was scared to death. My heart was ready to get out of my chest anytime by now.
'No, you don't seem right.' She said again while I still sat on my bed in shock.
She poured a glass of water and gave it to me. I drank all the water in one breath.
'What happened? A nightmare?' She asked and sat on my bed beside me. I nodded, not in a state to answer properly.
'Well, I guess you should see a therapist or a psychiatrist as...I heard about your nightmares earlier too. When you told that to Aunt Margaret.' She said.
'Moreover, it's Sunday so maybe you can get an appointment today only.' She said again.
'No..it's..it's fine. I...just need something to divert my mind, nothing else.' I said though I knew I that it was a lie. My frame of mind was unsettled.
All of a sudden my stomach rumbled, just because I hadn't eaten anything since last night I guess. I had too much work and less time to complete it if, I wanted to chill out on Sunday. I covered my stomach with both my arms and looked down in embarrassment.
'I guess you need to eat cause it's already 9'O clock and you haven't eaten anything since night. Actually, I made some breakfast cause I needed to go. So, get fresh and eat it. I guess you'll like it.' She said.
'Needed to go?' I asked.
'Yeah...umm.. library..you see, I have to study cause exams are on the head now.' She smiled awkwardly.
I was about to stand up when the bell of our house rung. Who could be here in the morning said Anna and I ran wearing the sleepers in a hurry cause I knew who was here, Anna came behind me saying something which I totally ignored. But somehow I don't know why one slipper felt uncomfortable to my left foot. I ran towards the door to greet Lisa as I knew she was here to take me out on a treat as she promised to do so.
As soon as I opened the door my eyes got filled with embarrassment as there was not Lisa but a guy wearing a casual black shirt and a pair of jeans. He was Samuel.
'Hi, Sa..Ra..H' He said as I opened the door and looked me from head to toe.
I was wearing my night suit which was not a showy one, cause it was a shiny red-coloured night suit. I myself hate the red colour but you know, when your mom gives it to you with her sparkling eyes and says,
'I thought you might like it, but I forgot that you're all grown up now and all the choices I make are old fashioned now.'
So...you have to accept it.
My hair was uncombed and moreover, as I looked down I saw I accidentally wore my slipper in my one foot and one Anna's in the other.
Anna came from behind and as soon as she saw this cute guy standing on the threshold She stared me from the corner of her eye.
'Who is this Sarah?' She asked with a cheesy smile.
No, Anna not now. You can't act cheesy right now my impression has already been ruined so, please don't add anything to it. I said in meditation, cause it was just embarrassed me standing there.
I gave her a cold look.
'Anna this is Samuel and Samuel his is Anna .' I said avoiding any kind of eye contact with him.
'Now that I've introduced you both to each other have a nice talk and I'll be right back.' I said and rushed towards my room.
I took a shower and almost fell twice while wearing jeans. I combed my hair and finally, I was ready wearing a light pink shirt and dark blue jeans. I was about to go out of my room when I took a look at my phone. There was a message from Mr. Niall but before I could open it someone called me. As soon as I talked to the lady on the phone I rushed outside cause it was a case of emergency.
I came out and found Sam sitting alone.
'What are you doing here alone?' I asked.
'Your roommate...Anna, she went saying she had to go somewhere just after you went into the room.' He said.
Just after listening to this I grabbed him out of my house and made him sit in my car. He asked me, where are we going but I fully ignored him and started to drive at a high speed...
After almost thirty minutes of the drive, we reached the hospital, 'Rutherford Medical Center.' Samuel read the board and yelled
'This is Lisa's hospital isn't it?'
'Yeah, she's in trouble. Got a call from receptionist tha..wait..how to do you...' I was halfway on completing my seatbelt when he got out of the car and ran into the hospital in like a mad man.
I came out of my car and started to think that how Sam and Lisa were related. But then I came to my senses that I should too go in and went into the hospital. As I reached near Lisa's cabin I saw a big crowd was gathered there. There was no place for me to enter and then I saw a guy handcuffed coming out of Lisa's cabin with two officers, he looked scary. His eyes were red with anger and his one hand was covered with blood. As soon as I saw blood on his handsome weird thoughts started to emerge in my mind.
And then the receptionist took me inside Lisa's cabin. I went in and saw her sitting with Samuel casually like he was someone she knew already. Then my eyes felt on Anna, What was she doing there..?
I came outside my cabin just to say bye to my friend who was going abroad for a month on a business trip. I was about to go in when the receptionist said,'Dr. Ray, there's a patient for you.' And she pointed a girl wearing a black skirt and a white shirt with a black collar.I knew who she was, cause she came earlier too.'Good morning Ms. Wilkinson, how you doing?' I said as I went towards her.'Oh! no need of formalities you can just call me Anna, Doctor .' she said and gave a bright smile.'So, how you came here today?' I asked for further.'Actually, I shifted to a new house as you said, but I guess it didn't work. I experienced it again a few days ago. So, I need your help again.' she said worriedly.'Oh! I see, so let's go in my cabin then.' I said and we started to walk towards my cabin.'I guess you haven't told about this to your housemate till now.' I asked and she nodded.Before I coul
'Where the hell is she?' He yelled.I knew that even if Sarah came now it would be no good for her, cause after all Niall's apoplexy was at its peak.'Should I call her once more?' I asked.'No need Emma, It's already too late. I guess I know what actions I have to take.' He said.It was getting scarier minute by minute cause I could his anger rising gradually. He became restless and started to walk around in the meeting room. He was even panting when he yelled and that was an alarming sign. I wondered where Sarah was and prayed that she should make it all the way here on time before The Frenchmen arrive. And suddenly someone opened the door...****I saw the time it was 12:15 pm and my heart started to rush.I called mom and told her that we'll be coming to her house, I mean my house, the mansion for lunch and she started dancing due to her overloaded happiness. Cause she, just hated th
'I think you're not capable of this job. Come tomorrow and I'll hand over your resignation letter.' I said.And suddenly it hit me, what did I just say?? I was supposed to scold her but, now that I have said it I have to go with it. I told her to leave and she started to walk out. I saw her eyes, they were filled with unshed tears which looked like pearls. I again said something in my apoplexy which I shouldn't have. I was again panting due to my anger and took hold of a chair to stand but then I saw her unstable.Suddenly my all instability vanished in thin air. I ran towards her and held her before she hit the ground. She was unconscious and I was worried. I picked her up in my arms and ran out of my room in the corridor where Emma was standing. As soon as she saw me she yelled worriedly,'Sarah?? What happened to her? What did you do? Is she alright?' She asked all in one breath.'Just help me open the door
I saw my schedule today and was really happy. Cause after the ruined Sunday I had only five patients to attend today and this meant that I was free this evening. I thought that this was the best chance to ask Sam about it. I know he wouldn't deny. After all, we are meeting after months since he went on that rubbish trip of business. I messaged one of my friends,'Today at 5 pm. Be ready I'll meet you at the cafe near Holy Cross Church .''Really! Today? Okay then see ya.' She instantly replied and I felt all relaxed now.This evening was going to be the best. I thought and suddenly someone opened the door of my cabin. There was a shining aura that was blinding my eyes and made me close my eyes. The person was Dr. Ray.'Good morning Dr. Lisa, you're alright? I don't think you should be here today.' He said with his heart-melting voice.'I am absolutely fine Dr. Ray, don't worry.' I said with a smile.'But... i
I was standing in between a crowd and I couldn't find her anywhere. Where the hell was she standing. I was angry and tired at the same time cause, I was all fed up with her treasure hunt games. Then, I heard someone scream my name from behind in that busy crowd.'Hey, Sam! Here...yah..here!' She said.She was standing away too far from me but still, I somehow managed to hear her voice. She wearing a dark pink dress with some touch of white and a pair of white shoes. She always preferred shoes over heels. She was looking beautiful. But I never complimented her on my own until she asked me in case she took in another way. Cause I knew I was not nice to her. I could hurt her feelings. She looked at me and waved her hand fully and gave a bright smile and in response, I gave her a small smile and waved at her a little bit. She came running towards me.'What is all this Lisa, Why did you call me all of a sudden here.' I asked.
My problem is that..''Hey, buddy why is your door open..?' Said Jeremy who just entered the house.I looked at him and he raised his one eyebrow and smirked. He turned around and said,'I guess I should've knocked.'Then I realized that I was still holding Lisa's shoulders tightly. And he misunderstood it, well everyone knew how he was.'No, it's nothing like that. Lisa meets Jeremy and Jeremy to meet Lisa.' I said as I stood aside from Lisa.'Hello, beautiful lady.' He said and kissed Lisa's hand and said,'A token of...' and I coughed.'Friendship. A token of friendship.'She started blushing.Obviously, Jeremy knew how to impress any girl. It was quite easy for him.I coughed again and broke their concentration.'Oh! sorry. Well here you go, Niall has ordered you to edit some mistakes out from this file. He has se
Every night when I sleep, I just remember her crying out my name. In my every dream, I just remember that I was just so coward that I didn't help her. Every morning, I wake up in this guilt that due to my coward nature, she had to lose her life and, I am living a life full of freedom here. Every day, they help me, not forget the sins I've committed. Every second, they try to make me just end my life somehow. But I want to observe this world, I want to see how cruel they can be. And that day, when I'll be done, I will hang myself on through the ceiling.Suddenly the darkroom in which I was sitting got filled with light as someone opened the door.'Why are the lights off?' She said and turned on the lights.'Hey you, Leo.' She said to me.'It's time for your treatment to come with me.' She said and dragged me out.That nurse was not so polite. She was a fat old lady, with a small height. Her voice was very loud and deep, just l
Samuel was standing in one corner of the cafeteria from where he could see everyone, but no one could see him. He stood there delighted, avoiding everyone, the women, the guys' everyone.He was happy to see Sarah getting along in the office, but she was still sitting alone. He thought to join her but dropped the idea when he saw Jeremy approaching her.'May I?' Asked Jeremy bending to her.'Yah sure, why not.' She said with a smile.He pulled the chair out and sat on it, and they began talking.'It was nice to meet you, Jeremy.' Said Sarah to Jeremy, slowly eating.'Yeah, really? Well, every girl says that at the start.' He said and they both laughed.'No, actually I owe you a lot, that day you helped me a lot when..when that lift broke down suddenly.' Said Sarah.'No worries, lady. It was just a thing which anyone could have done to help a beautiful one like you.' He said.'Well, from the lift...
