‘Hello Elvis Let Perpetual Aaron Leave India To America’
“What is that aupposed to mean!!” Davidson yelled, causing Lu to flinch in his sleep “Sorry brother” he uttered “But you need to wake up!” He yelled again.
Shortly after Jordan had seen the message, he didn’t try calling back or texting back as the messager had warned first that he should not reply. He couldn’t get himself to think well after the message.
His bored gaze homed on the screen of his phone as he tried his possible best to ignore Davidson that kept yelling on top of his voice. Mere looking at the message it doesn’t look right or normal.
Jordan has no idea who Elvis or Perpetual Aaron is much more helping her to leave India for America. It could be that the message might be for someone else or a prank message.
A prank message!!!
“It could be a prank message” Jordan blurted out, he looked up at Davidson who was staring at Lu trying to get up his bed “Sirs” he said not knowing who to address.
His gaze kept moving from Davidson to Lu who just got up his feet and stumbled towards the washroom.
“How was your night sir?” Jordan asked Lu who replied with a dreadful glare and a grunt “I will say it was fine” He smiled and looked away from his boss’s angry face.
His gaze stopped on Davidson weird looking face, if he was putting on his eye glass, he would have said it mislead him to see things but this felt so real. The look was that of love, like Davidson care about him, it looks like there is this raw flame of affection burning.
Jordan couldn’t help but blush deeply, he looked away and tried to think about something else to occupy his distracted mind.
Even, It look like the butterflies in his stomach are using his intestine for pole dancing making him hard and harder.
“Are you feeling alright, Bro?” Davidson asked concerned as he offered to help Lu have a seat on one of the couches “You don’t have to drink yourself to this level if you want to get her back” He added as he walked to Lu, trying his best to ignore Jordan’s breathe taking gaze.
The moment he offered Lu his arm, the angry Lu hit his hand off with a dreadful glare on his red face.
“What was that for?” Davidson asked surprised.
“The fact that you helped us out from Zeno’s trap and claim to be my Brother does not mean you shouldn’t know your space” Lu rapped angrily as he helped himself to seat in the floor “Till i believe, you are more like a step brother and the first on my suspect list!” He snapped.
For two quick seconds Davidson thought his heart would spew, he held his chest as he blinked rapidly trying to be a man. He felt he doesn’t have to only look like a man with huge muscles, tall body structure, deep bass voice, fine face and a charming smile. He also have to be strong and not cry over every little thing, that was initially the main reason his father made him hide all this years.
He cleared his throat noisily, sigh deeply and crossed his thick arms on his chest.
“I expect more of this, Luciano” Davidson’s voice sounds shaky “But I will wait for as long as it takes because I have come here to stay forever”
The determination in his voice and face was something Lu should have noticed but because he is in so much pain already, he scoffed and wiggled his finger towards Jordan.
“You were saying something about pranks?” Lu asked unsure.
“I am thinking the message might be a prank message” Jordan said in deep doubt, matching Lu’s level of uncertainty “There is something about it that looks like it’s a secret message but i do-”
There was a loud bang at the door, it went silent for few seconds and resumed louder than before, this time multiple sounds. It sounds like the person was pounding at the door with both hands or more.
“Open up Daddddddy!” A tiny voice screamed from out side.
The three men in the room exchange looks before it ended in Lu’s direction. Lu at the other hand looks like he wants to vanish or wishes for the ground to open and swallow him.
“What day is it?” Lu asked in a whisper.
“It’s Friday” Jordan said “Amara had not been feeling too well that’s why she can’t go to school today” He quickly added as he noticed the confused look on Lu’s face.
In silent, Lu contemplate if he should let his daughter in or not, he wouldn’t want her to see him like this and at the same time don’t want her to feel neglected when ill. He faked a wide smile then sigh.
“You are doing great, Sir” Jordan said nodding his head “You can ask him” he looked at Davidson who had a weird looking smile on his face.
After rolling his eyes like they would fall off or roll back into his head, Lu grumbled as he stands up to open the door. Poor man, he couldn’t get to balance himself before Amara jumped on him with her arms wrapped around his neck.
“Where have you been Daddy?” She squeaks as she began to kiss his face “I was scared daddy, I see bad things happen to me in my dream” she cried.
Lu sigh, he caresses the back of Amara’s neck and kissed her face. His heartaches as she hugged him tight, strangling life out from him. Well, he wouldn’t mind, as long as his baby is fine, he do not mind sacrificing his last breathe for her as long as she stays happy.
“I was terrified” Amara sniffed “I thought you left just like mommy”
“No!!” Lu hugged her more “I can’t leave you, I will never leave you” His voice sounds shaky.
He placed Amara to the ground and moved her hair to the back of her ears. He was about to kiss her nose when he noticed Gio behind her, staring everywhere looking for something.
“Gio” Lu called out in surprise “Are you sick too?” He asked, thinking about what else to say.
“He decided to stay with me every day because I was scared” Amara smiled “he hasn’t slept enough and I am scared he might grow sick too” she walked to Gio and pulls him to her father “Please daddy, stay with us today” she pouts as she begin to make the cutest puppy eyes she could make “just today” she begged.
Lu smiled, even when his heart felt broken to thousand pieces, he knew he had to be strong for his daughter. It hurts him to see Gio like that, the look on his young face show that he haven’t found what he was expecting.
He forced himself to look away from the boy them back to his daughter who kept showing the best puppy eyes she has.
“Fine!” He forced himself to say “But you know daddy would get busy for some time and might have to leave you both for some….” He trail off as he noticed Amara not paying attention to what he he had been saying “Amara?” He touched her pink chin.
Amara ignored his his gesture and kept staring at his face, her eyes became stormy and she moved away from him.
“You got into something bad” she said and pointed at his eyes “What happened?” She demanded.
Lu covered the almost invisible wound under his eye and chuckled.
“It’s a huge mosquito bite” he lied.
“I have heard that before from a movie” Amara snapped, she fold her arms and frowned “Or did the huge mosquito bite your hand too?” She looked at his bandaged palm.
Lu lowered his head, before he could say anything Gio began walked around the room with a sad look on his face. Their gaze locked for a few seconds before the small lad’s eyes landed in his wounded palm.
“Where is my sister” Gio sniffed, he looked at Davidson then Jordan who all looked shocked “Tell me the truth” His voice cracked “Has she gotten into any type of trouble?” He asked.
Seeing that Lu could not look at the boy’s sad face much more lying to him, Davidson walked to him and placed his large palm on his head. He went on a knee and grinned.
“Alita went to work” he lied.
“I haven’t seen her in seventeen days” Gio stared directly to Davidson’s blue eyes “And she would have let me know the nature of her job” He seems confident.
“She comes back late” Davidson lied again, he grinned as Gio remain silent and stood up “I will make sure she sees you when she comes back”
With his back at Gio, he smiled to Lu who doesn’t seem convinced yet. His expression changed as me noticed his brother staring at Gio in shock. Slowly he turned back to see the boy holding a paper with something written on it.
“I am not a child,” Gio said angrily, he unfold the paper and show them the map that was drawn on it “I know she had been kidnapped again, I want to help Alita”
