PROLOUGE

AUTHOR’S POV:

“Hyra!, am asking you a question.” He spoke

“and I said I can’t answer it.” She said

“why not?! Its not like you are going to kill someone”

“…..well., what if I am?”

He chuckles.. “you want me to believe that?”

“…” [silence]

His small smile slowly fades

“ Hyra what are you upto? Why did you ask me to marry you?”

….[silence]

He approaches her with slow steps to hold her.

She is hanging her head down almost in the verge of whole breakdown. And he knew something was up since she showed up Infront of their apartment door panting like she was being chased, with the terrified look like someone was coming to take her soul.

“sweetheart...please look at me.”

She looked up with the tears covering her whole eyes. The endearment from his mouth felt like those words only belonged to her. And it did.

“Heyyy…” he rushed in holding her close. And that was all it needed for he to break all her dam of tears she has been holding for an eternity.

She threw her arm around him and sobbed hard, really hard. And all he did was holding her closer and closer to his chest trying to consume all the distress that has caused her.

Few minute down and she was sobbing like a baby who lost her favourite toy. He gently picked her up and laid themselves down to the sofa in living room. He stroked her head time to time.

“shh… baby don’t cry.” Few more minutes her sobs slowed down. She wiped her eves with back of her hand and pulled away from his chest. He gazed her face

“am sorry...” she started getting up from his lap but he stopped her.

“you don’t have to be sorry about anything and no, you are sitting in my lap as of now.”

“ Are you okay to share it with me?”

She nodded. “my father’s death wasn’t natural. He was murdered. And I am going to avenge him.”
