ONE WEEK LATER:
Everything in my life was normal now, except the only paranormal in my life, Yes Mr. Mystery too. I was missing the old Mr. Mystery, no more hacking, no more spying, no more hiding. Jacob was on his best behavior and he was determined to make me realise that he is the same boy who gave me that locket. I always knew that he is the one, but you know as the saying goes ‘ Never trust your father as well’. I was teasing him daily and acting as if I don’t have any interest in him, but he caught me every time I fake myself. Things were just going fine.
As today was Saturday and I had a half day at work I was about to leave when the whispers in the air informed that our company’s shareholder’s are here. I confirmed his presence and thought of bidding Jacob a goodbye. It’s obvious that it might be for a meeting only.
As directed, I went towards the boardroom. Instead of him getting a surprise, I got one….
I saw him and Mira tangled in his biceps. He and his Casanova…. Skills…. I hate it the most. I didn’t know why I was feeling like this, but I must say that I was beyond irritated. Realizing my presence he jerked her off and tried explaining himself. But as you know, your patience can be tested only if you had some left. I simply turned and banged the door on his face. The next step was to blackout, I switched off every possible mode to reach me and went to my favorite place.
2 days later….
I was trying to relax myself and forget all the mystery stuff but what to do…. He had his copywright on my heart which seems out of control…..
Who knows? Why God created this bizarre called ‘love’. It neither let you die peacefully nor let you live. I was chilling at my father’s old penthouse….
I was reading one of the my favourite, ” Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte, when the care taker of this place Mrs. Gopi came. She was grinning widely. I asked her ,” You can go now…Its already 7past 30″. She nodded in response and said,” There’s someone out there waiting for you!”.
I sighed and moved towards the living room, thinking who has the guts to disturb me now! Practically, I was yelling and screaming at everyone from past two, for God knows why? I saw an empty hall where I could see no one in particular except few flower vases.
I turned only to see someone in black hoody and before I could do anything, he sprayed something on my face, I guess ‘CHLOROFOAM’. Oh! no! Everything around me seems moving and everything is getting darker…….
The next moment when I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying in bed. Wait! What? How? The main question here is whose?
I got up in hurry and moved outside the the room. Only to see some thing astounding!!!!
The lighting of the room was turned to dim and golden as if everything is sparkled. There were a hundred bouquets of Roses…. all red. When I noticed the walls, there were pictures of mine. Clicked when ? God knows…. Almost in every angle, I was astonished by the number of photographs on the walls. When I looked around clearly there were so many pictures of mine hanging from the ceiling. I saw an image in which I was siting in a classroom and biting the rubber at the back of my pencil…. Oh my God!!!! This seems insane…… I gulped out of a little fear and confusion.
I turned only to see him standing. I was about to say something when he just stepped ahead. I stepped back…
He was smirking his signature smirk, but it was enough to drive me crazy…. Wait…here only one can be crazy….. Either him or me…. But I guess he is already crazy…..!
He slowly said,” I am sorry ….”. My throat was dry, I was tongue tied. I know that it was not his fault when I saw him, it was accident. Come on! I am a hacker too, I can check CCTV’s. I was angry, because I realized that it was the same girl whom he was stuck to in that club. Yes, it was Mira….
I was not ready to believe, but I can’t just convince my heart. I said,” WHY? Did you bought me here? I am going! Bye….”. I turned to leave, but as I knew I wont be able to make it to the door itself. I was trapped.
His hands slowly snaked around my waist. By the time, I realized what was going on, I felt butterflies in my stomach and sparkles all around us…. Yes it happens everytime, he touches me….
But I was still grumpy, I said sarcastically,” Nice way to end a discussion….”. He chuckled and said,” I was angry at the way you ignored me that day…. I am sorry…. I know… I don’t deserve any…but if it’s not you…then it can’t be anyone”. There was a silence in the room, only wind roaring. Yes, I was at his penthouse.
He gulped and said stammering,” I…L.. love…You…just d. don’t go…. p. pl.. please…”. I looked straight in his eyes and saw tears brimming in his eyes… before I could say anything a lone tear escaped his shiny black eyes.
I was still wondering whether to believe him or not.
” You believed him always…. say it, just say it…you have waited 7 long years…. say that you…you…really.. can’t stay without….” Said my inner voice.
I said the same and hugged him, he started crying like a four year old, come on guys, whose the girl. I have never seen this man so impatient and scared. He is so calm and sated, but today… I guess… I saw him.
So now I can say that its not always me who cries and he who soothes… Yeah!
I said,” Stop, with this sobbing…k, It makes me laugh…. and I can’t control it anymore…”
He looked at me with a pout and said,”You, I never thought you could do this with me…!”. I chuckled and he lifted me up bridal style and said,” I will make sure you scream tonight”. I looked at him horrified and he laughs and said,” Look at your face!”.
This how I met Mr. Mystery…aka Jacob….
“Sometime, wrong numbers….. are a must….. cause they get you…. to the right ones….”
