EPISODE 68
*One Morning…*
After many days, Brina and Louis had their fill.
They woke up very content.
However, to their disappointment, they couldn’t extend it to late morning and continue their love making.
Brina shouldn’t overexert herself and moreover, they have Will upstairs. It would make him sad if his aunt spent very less time with him.
She must be there by the time he wakes up. Otherwise he would get depressed.
Louis actually pitied that little guy.
He is clearly facing trauma. He is afraid of losing his aunt that, whenever his aunt is not there when he wakes up, he gets tense.
So, Louis never keeps Brina in bed for a long time in the mornings. Although it’s been just a week, Will woke up, he somehow felt connected to that little guy.
It might be because of his eyes which are exactly like his aunt’s.
On the bright side….
Will’s sleeping time started reducing.
It’s been a week since he woke up but he spent almost ninety percent of his time sleeping.
He is not as active as when he woke up the first time.
It is because of his powerful medicines.
They are drowsy and tranquilizing.
His thoughts are muddled up and he is always sleepy.
Doctors a-ssured them that it’s common because of his surgery. His surgery was pretty huge for his age, so it would take time to mould back to normal.
And, afraid of making him confused and suffocated, Dr. Lee didn’t even allow any new persons to meet him till now.
Which included Louis as well.
And, today is the day Louis and Will are meeting for the first time.
This week, he started getting accustomed to the outer environment and he could think clearly…. at least a bit.
….
“Will, meet your uncle” Brina introduced Louis to Will who just woke up and is a little active.
The intensity of his medicines got reduced this week. So, he has been little okay.
Will blinked his eyes and looked at the man who was his arm wrapped around his aunt’s wai-st.
They looked good together.
“Hi, Will. I heard a lot about you from your aunt” Louis said, smiling at his little competitor.
‘Hmm.. Not bad. Though he is not as handsome as me, he looks good overall.’ Will thought.
‘Far better than that idiot Nick’ he added after a little more observation.
‘He is looking at my aunt just like how my dad used to see my mom. So, he definitely loves my beautiful aunt’ he noticed.
And, suddenly his mind struck there.
He totally forgot about this…
But, where are his mom and dad now…
‘Grandma, Grandpa, mom, dad…
they didn’t escape with me and aunt.
Does.. Does. That means they… they died
Otherwise, they would have been here’
His parents promised they would be there by the time he woke up the next morning. They promised!!!
Even that thought of not able to see them anymore horrified him and he suddenly felt his heart pain.
It started burning and his head started to hurt.
Because of his medications, he was sleeping like a log, no thoughts.
Now, it suddenly stuck in his mind like a lightning bolt.
“Will baby, what happened??” Brina anxiously asked as she held him. However, Will clutched his head and fainted.
Brina freaked out.
Seeing him like this is enough for her to lose all her strength.
“Will…honey…wake up” Brina anxiously spoke as she patted his face gently.
She looked at Louis with teary eyes, “he…he fainted” she choked.
Louis was already in the process of calling his doctors who are in the hospital which is specially set up for Will.
As it is just a street away, the bodyguards and everyone reacted fast.
Within five minutes, Will was transferred to the hospital.
After some time..
Brina sat there worried and very anxious. Even Louis’s comfort and embrace didn’t help her much this time..
“Dr. Lee, what’s happening to him? Is this any side effects?” Brina asked,
“Don’t worry, Kid. As I said he was weak, so I guess, he would have remembered something that would have made him overwhelm. He will wake up soon.” Dr. Lee said.
“Are you saying that this will happen to him again?” Brina asked, totally freaked out.
“We will be here to take care of him, kid. Everything will be alright.”
“And, these episodes are expected, trust me. He just woke up from a long sleep and there are many things he is yet to recall and whenever he encounters some incomprehensible things, he will react a little intensely. It’s normal, so, don’t worry” he said, comforting Brina.
He gestured to Louis to take Brina away.
So much anxiety and fear is not good for her and the baby.
Louis nodded his head and Brina reluctantly left Will in the hospital.
Why is her happiness always short termed??
…..
Meanwhile…..
When Brina and Louis are busy in Will’s issue, at the other side of town, something more serious is taking place.
Nickolas is sitting in front of the woman who is looking at him with suspicious eyes.
“Are you sure Nick?” she asked.
“I am sure, Layla.” Nickolas said.
“Could I rely on you?” she asked again, suspicious.
“I don’t un-derstand why you are suspecting me, now. For God’s sake I have been working with you for two years” Nick said.
Layla sighed and looked at him.
“I have a friend. A girl”
“She got betrayed by the people she trusted the most and the people who have worked with her for years backstabbed her mercilessly.”
“After listening to that, I couldn’t comprehend whom I should believe and whom I shouldn’t,” Layla said.
“Her blood related, her best friends and the worst, her own fiance betrayed her. You on the other side are not connected to me at all. Not by blood nor by heart nor by revenge. On what basis should I trust you now?” she demanded.
“See, it’s not like I am suspecting specifically you. I just don’t want to risk it, Nick. I already lost my boyfriend and with that, my daughter lost her father. If I get betrayed now, she will lose her mother too, to the same enemies”
“She is just a kid, you know,” Layla said, her eyes vulnerable.
Nick sighed.
Her words stabbed him right in his heart. Her every word reminded him of his first love, Sabrina.
Irrespective of who that woman Layla is talking about, her life was so similar to Sabrina.
And, when Layla talked about her kid, it reminded him of Will. That active, Nau-ghty and brilliant boy is no more.
“Layla, we are connected. We are connected by revenge the best and most trustful means” Nick said, surprising Layla.
When Layla found out about Brina’s real story and her connection with Nick, she started fearing if Nick is really trustworthy or not.
He sacrificed his fiance and her family just to gain some power. So, how could she place her trust in him and go on to the war.
“Really? By revenge?” Layla asked, raising her eyebrow.
“Yeah. You always ask me why I come here every year and give away all my savings as a donation right?”
“I never told you back then because I didn’t want you to pity me or loathe me. However, the time has come to open up” Nickolas said, sniffling his nose while his eyes turned grave.
“You know- If everything would have gone fine and if I wouldn’t have foolishly pursued my plan to prove myself, today would have been my third wedding anniversary with the only woman I loved the most in my life” Nickolas said, remembering Sabrina.
“She loved kids so I gave away all my savings from my football career to orphanages. At least like that she would forgive me a bit for what I did to her” he said, smiling, but it emanated sadness and gloom.
When Layla heard it, she right away knew he was talking about Brina, her best friend’s pregnant wife.
“If that was true, why have you got engaged to the other woman? If you truly loved your first love and although she is dead now, you shouldn’t have moved on. Instead, you should be cherishing her memories with you, just like how I am doing now” Layla scoffed.
“That only means your love and your determination are nothing but fickle,” she added.
Nick looked at her and smiled. A smile that has a devilish sense in it.
“You think I got engaged to Camilla because I moved on?” he asked.
“I am playing the game the same way they played back then. Betrayal” Nickolas laughed.
“The only way I could get my revenge is becoming a part of them and backstabbing them. When my fiance and her family were powerful and invincible, their enemies became a part of them stayed loyal to them and backstabbed them when the time has come”
“To do that, they used my love as the bait. My fiancée was powerful, brilliant, extraordinary and intellectual.” he chuckled, lovesick.
“In addition to that, she was from a powerful background and everyone adored her. I did the same at first. I loved her, admired her”
“I made her fall for me by proving myself over and over again. I don’t blame her. Her standards were too high and she is of another level”
“Yet, she was good to me and never looked down at me. Although I don’t know if she had really loved me or not, she respected me, admired me and trusted me”
“She was a good person but straight forward. I knew she didn’t love me wholeheartedly. It was more like she didn’t have any other option and chose me. Actually she never believed in love and for her marriage, was nothing special”
“However, I mistook it and I thought she was looking down on my status and was feeling embarra-ssed to be with me. That turned into an inferiority complex, no, I was manipulated to think like that.”
“My Sabrina never thought of me like that. She always respected and admired me. It was just that, she didn’t love me much and had many people with whom she preferred to spend more time with”
“I was a foolish idiot that I fell in the trap laid by her enemies. They provoked me, made fun of me saying that I was no match to her and I was just a sissy overshadowed by her.”
“They successfully used me by making me do some foolish things to show that I was a man, a man who was no less than his wife. That power gave me thrill, at least I thought it did.”
“I was in that beautiful dreamland they have created for me and by the time I sobered up and realized the reality, the reins were no longer in my hands”
“They used me and laid the trap for my fiancee and her family. I didn’t realize that.”
“I was successfully painted as a betrayer, a backstabber. I lost the woman I loved, I lost my sister, I lost my loyal friends. My parents left me, they loathed me and at last, I was just an abandoned piece of trash” Nick said, his hands balled into fists.
“But, I got my second chance, Layla, just like how you got to take your vengeance”
“In order to do that, I killed my inner self, I have put on a fake facade as a power greedy monster. I did many bad things just to get their trust and I have successfully established my own power and also got engaged to Camilla to protect my facade of lies.”
“See, I have nothing to lose anymore. There is nothing precious for me to think of my self growth and selfish needs. I am no saint either, I did many bad things” Nick said, letting out a short laugh.
“I already made a sin by becoming the reason for the death of many people who trusted me. So, why not do more sin?”
“So, the only thing I am interested in right now is revenge. I need to take revenge for Sabrina and my sister Niccy. At least like that I might find my peace” Nick said.
