They....they are..so..."His voice slurred and I guess he is drunk.His words coming out crooked and unorganized."Nothing"He again said and this time he was going to grab the bottle to ease his pain when I stopped him.Holding its top before he could, I held the bottle in my hands."Hey...man...that's... cheating...you can't...Lin..give..it.man..."I moved my head in a no and a smile came on my lips.I remember the last time something like this happened and my smile widened."It's enough... stop..or I'll drink it all"As soon as he registered my words the smile dropped from his face.His eyes held pain and I realized what I did.He remembers.I was repeating what I said and did that night at his rooftop.Unintentionally and the pain of what we shared came pack with full thrust.

Confused of his abrupt stoppage ,I opened my mouth to ask him but closed it instantly.Deciding to listen to him,I stopped the car at the roadside.As soon as the car stopped I heard his door closing,surprised I looked back to see Zeena sleeping on a pillow peacefully but your majesty was no where to be found.Before I could look around for him,my driver side door was pulled open and he ordered me in his cold voice."Get out"Afraid of what wrong I did,I decided to listen to him.Was he irritated with my presence?Was he going to throw me out in this jungle.As soon as I stepped out,he replaced my place and sat on the driver's seat.My eyes still downcasted,afraid of him seeing my tears."Do you need a special invitation?"His eyes were flames of fire,his earlier calmness getting lost somewhere.Has he grown bipolar or what?

"So you mean, this place is free from encumbrances.I hope I can trust your words""Yes, your majesty! I can get you the papers and you can see for yourself."Lin's tired eyes fell on something in the corner.The unusual moment in this peaceful location, raising doubt in his mind.Looking closer he found few men with veiled faces, something shined in the sun and on realising what it was, he got back in form.Without wasting a second, he pulled out the pistol from his back pocket.Firing at the place where they stood, he brought it to everyone's attention.His body standing on front of Daniel, trying the block anything that came his way.Few seconds passed and nothing was heard, everyone looked at Lin in confusion.Lin's eyes were focused on just one place, but to his surprise, the place was empty now.Like they just vanished.

I was sure everyone was busy""He is the infamous Lin man! Don't you know about him?""That short stick-like man is Lin?""Yaa! He may look harmless to the eye but he is very dangerous""So we are fighting against the best then?""Yup, the very best"They started smoking while relaxing on the sofas.Few more men entered, bringing along the bottles of beer."Any traces on the girl?"One o

Tears stung her eyes, she has tried her best.If she didn't rush out her sister, Angela could have died.She couldn't find Zeena anywhere.Her back was burning and she realised, it must have gotten burned on her way out.Focussing on where he left, she prayed for their safety.Daniel's words ringing in her ears.He will never forgive herHe already hated her.She looked back to see Angela finally waking up, everyone smiling and hugging her.But her eyes remained fixed on the entrance.News reporters, media, fire engines.They were all around but she was growing numb to all other voices.Her heart finally relaxed seeing him come out of the blazing building.Zeena's unconscious body in his arms and worry evident on his features.He placed her down on the ground, checking her vitals.She moved forward to touch her along with others but he shouted at everyone."Move back!!
