??Amrit Randy??

I snapped my head across the figure, that same man putting on mask?.
He slowly pulled his mask off…?
“Dad…?”
No. Its a prank, right ? Cause my dad is late.
“Can I ?” He gestured to the empty seat beside me.
“No. Stay back…” I snapped at him. He doesn’t even look surprised.
“C’mon, I just…”
I cut him short.
“Listen here. I said stay away from me. Get out, go away.” I said retreating my steps.
“Amrit ? Be calm. You should here him out first.” Saga chipped in.
“I won’t calm down unless he go away. Tell him, he’s dead right ? His ghost wont start haunting me not now.” I half yelled gaining attention from other guest.
“Listen here, I’m not a gho…”
“I wont believe you.” I snapped retreating my steps making me trip. I was expecting a fall ha-rd on the floor, rather I was caught by a figure with my hair over my face.
“You should be calm. I didn’t expect you to freak out this much…” Darwin said. He was the one who prevented me from falling.
I stare at them one last time before running upstairs…
I quickly lock? the door to my room before they’ll cause any stupid drama.
This is too ha-rd to digest, knowing after eight years that my dad is still alive. He’s not late just like we thought.
Do ghost exist ? I never believe they actually did, to me they’re just superstitions and folktales.
??Jade Randy (Amrit’s Father)??
?
It isn’t my happiness to abandon my family for eight years and neither is it my fault. But I don’t have any choice.
Seeing my daughter freak out breaks me a lot.
‘…I won’t calm down unless he go away. Tell him, he’s dead right ? His ghost wont start haunting me not now…’ her statement keep ringing in my ears.
‘… I won’t believe you…’
?”Don’t worry, she only freak out. Its been long, she is probably in shock. We’ll just let her be for now, she’ll be okay.” Darwin cajoled.
“I hope so.” I nod with a dry smile.

“I promise you that I’m de-eply sorry, I know no other to apologize.” I apologized to her, fondling her palms.
She won’t stop crying since and I know no other way to console her.
“What made you leave in the first place ?” She demanded.
“I don’t know but…”
??F l a s h b a c k??
?January 3rd 2012 (8✨ years ?ago)?
?The cops are all over New York street?
Abed said.
?Why ? And how the hell is my probs with that.?
I scoffs.
?Yeah, right. But they’re after you.?
?Me ? Why that ??
?You are a mob boss, right ? And a drug trafficker ?
?Fool. I know that.?
?Listen here, man. Someone actually snitched you out to the cops.?
?Who the hell in Devil’s name will try that shit ??
?I don’t know but just get out, you nee-d to lay low for sometime.?
?Alright, Abed. Thanks.?
?Yeah. And be careful too.?
?Sure. I’ll.?
I hang up, frustrated ☎.
This isnt right. Geez ! I’m screwed.
????
I quickly book the nearest flight to South Africa.
Its in the next thirty minutes, just fifteen minutes drive to the airport??. I packed few luggage.
Seventeen minutes more…
I quickly drove out putting on a mask?, though my car is tinted but the mask is gonna help at the airport….
??E n d o f ? f l a s h b a c k??
“I lost contact with everyone including your mother. I don’t know how but I misplaced my phone.” I paused and stare at her before I continued. “I returned back to New York last month.”
She sighed depressed. “It was a viral news that you were confirmed dead in a fire outbreak.
Mother died just of High Blood Pressure two years later when all your properties was claimed by some unknown people leaving Us in misery. She was thinking too much then before she developed the high B.P and died because we don’t have enough money to treat her. I grew up as an orphan with nothing left in the world.” She sobs.
??Mehel Wilson??
?
I feel her pains too. It wasn’t easy living as an orphan. But everyone has a story to tell…
“Can I ?” I asked. She nodded
slowly with a sniff.
“Few years ago, I overheard dad conversation with Rynd. It was an eavesdrop though…”
??…F l a s h B a c k…??
“I decided not to kill him cause he’s my best friend. I was foolish then to promise him half of my wealth. Arrgh !” Wilson gritted his teeth in full anger.
“Calm down, Will.” Rynd said soothingly.
“Just two years and he’s three times richer than I am. Here you are telling me to calm down.” Wilson snapped.
“Okay, What next ?” Rynd requested.
“I nee-d to look for him…”
Rynd cut in. “Look for him ? For what ?”
“I’ll have to kill him since he escaped from the cops. I have all his properties with, what if he comes back ?” Wilson sighed thoughtfully…
??E n d O f??
?✨F l a s h B a c k✨?
“Not up to a month after that time, he was announced dead. Abed framed up your death cause he knows the cops are still on your track.” I added.
“And Abed, where is he now ?” Jade asked.
“He’s currently living at Las Vegas. We can give him a visit next week, right ?” I said.
“Of course. I’ve really missed him too.” Jade sigh. He turned to Amrit. “You’ve finally forgiven Dad ?”
She beamed with full smiles. “Of course, yes. You weren’t at fault. So I’ve forgiven you, dad.” She said.
“Sounds great.” Jade grinned wildly.
“Guess what, dad.” Amrit giggled.
“Can’t guess princess. You should help dad out.” Jade replied.
“Okay dad, I’ll help. I’m finally getting married to Mehel tomorrow…”

??Amrit Randy??

I beamed with full smiles. “Of course, yes. You weren’t at fault. So I’ve forgiven you, dad.” I said.
“Sounds great.” Dad grinned wildly.
“Guess what, dad.” Amrit giggled.
“Can’t guess princess. You should help dad out.” Dad replied.
“Okay dad, I’ll help. I’m finally getting married to Mehel tomorrow.” I said coyly.
“You are getting married ?? to Mehel tomorrow, Right ?” Dad mimicked in a mocking tone.
“Yeah. Is any wrong with it ?” I queried.
“Nothing, but i’m just thinking abo…”
I cut him short. “No dad, dont think about anything. Please, I beg of you.”
“Hmm…Are you okay with it? I mean the marriage?” Dad requested.
“why not dad, i’m in love with Dylan Wilson.” I replied blus-hing.
“I can see you are in love. My Beauty is in love, look at you, you won’t stop blus-hing.” Dad teased.
“Oh dad, stop it…” i replied burning red.
??L a t e r I n T h e N i g h t??

“Ever imagine what tomorrow night is gon’ look, huh ?” Mehel smi-rked at me.
“Hey, stop talking dirty.” I scoffs burning red.
“Am I ? That’s the truth, you know.” He replied. “You look embarras-sed huh ?”
“Shut up..” I half yelled.
“Really ?”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Goodnight.”
I lay back and covered myself with the duvet.
“No video games ?” I taunts.
“Mehel ?”
“What ? You’ve start missing me ? Just like that. Tch, that’s weird.” He haunts.
“Get out.” I scoffs.
For some minutes, he keep mute without uttering any words. The door creaked opened.
“I’m out.” He said. I turned at his direction, he held a blue duvet and pillow to his che-st.
“Where are you off to ?” I murmured.
“Downstairs, of course. You asked me to get out, isn’t it ?” He asked. “Goodnight.”
“Do I look like I care ?” I scoffs at him. He didn’t reply but shut the door. I thought he was joking.
?
Thirty minutes pas-sed but Mehel isnt back.
One hour…?
Two hours…?
I’m starting to get worried, so he actually meant his words. I waited for another thirty minutes, yet he didn’t show up.
I checked the wall clock; 1:15am.
‘Oh no.’ I hurriedly put on my fli-pflop and went downstairs. Everyone had went to their room, only Mehel was in the sitting room. He was sleeping on the cushion chair, with his body covered with the duvet. There’s a lot of cold here, he was shivering even with his body covered with duvet.
“Dyl…” I was damn afraid to touch him.
What if he decided to yell at me ?
What if he doesn’t want to see me ?
What if…?
Different negative thoughts ran throu-ghmy head.
‘Amrit, be positive for once.’ My sub conscience hit me.
I touch his palms, it was cold as freeze.
“Dylan ?” I called. He opened his eyes slowly and closed ’em again.
“Dylan, get up. Its cold out here.” I said and touch his forehead.
“Its okay here, since you are angry at me.” He murmured.
“I’m sorry. C’mon get up.” I whimpered. He ignored me. I sat down and placed his head on my thigh.
“Since you won’t get up, I’m not leaving here either.” I said. But who am I kidding ? I’m a type that can’t withstand too much cold, unless I’m gon’ fall ill.
Five minutes pas-sed, still he didn’t bulged. Slowly, I started shivering too.
“Dylan ?” I muttered. “Alright, I’m playing video games. Just get up please.”
He smiled and opened his eyes. “Now ?”
“Yeah.” I nodded. He sat up and stared at me disappointed.
“You’re shivering, Beau ?” He murmured.
“Same applies to you.” I breath out. “My punishment, though.”
“Quit that shit.” He snapped.
“Dylan. Language.” I said.
“I’m sorry…” he mumbled and carried me up in a bridal style.
“I can walk, Dylan.” I giggled.
“Don’t remind of that. I know.” He said. “Be quiet, others are asleep.”
“Yes, sir.” I chuckled.
.
He dropped me on the bed.
“You nee-d warmth.” He said and changed the room temperature to warmth.
“Video game, first.” He grinned.
“Oh yeah. Get ready to be beaten by your master.” I smi-rked.
“Really, huh ? Lets see who wins.” He replied.
“Its a deal then.” I smi-rked.
He only shrug…

“Wakey…Wakey, morning beauty.”
I Gr0-ned and turned the other side.
“Sleeping beauty, Its morning.” Mehel said.
“Haven’t sleep enough…” I Gr0-ned again before opening my eyes.
“Good morning Sunshine.” He smiled.
I blus-hed. “Good morning, King.”
“Yeah…yeah. King. I love that.” He smiled. “You have bad breath cause you haven’t brush.”
“Really ? Bad breath. That’s too harsh.” I rolled my eyes at him. I got down and put on my fli-pflop.
“I already prepared breakfast for every one. Brush up and let’s join everyone at the dinning.” He said.
???
“Good morning, dad.” I smiled and I took a seat beside Mehel.
“Good morning, my Beauty.” Dad replied with a smiled.
“Good morning Win and Saga too…”
“Yeah. Good morning.” They chorused with a smile.
Dad already started eating. “It taste nice to eat a meal prepared by Dylan. Its awesome. Hmm.” Dad commented.
“Thanks Jade.” Mehel smiled and start eating.
“What about today’s plan ? Every thing’s ready right ?” Darwin asked.
“Yeah.” I nodded.
“And…”
Mehel cut in. “Table manner Darwin, you aren’t a kid anymore.” Mehel scoffs.
“Sorry…” Darwin chuckled.
“That’s too harsh, Dylan. You should apologize.” I muttered.
“Yeah ? I’m sorry too, Win.” He mumbled out.
“Its okay…”
We finished the rest of our meal in silence…
