“Seeing you in such calm and tranquility manner had simply ease me with such an unspoken joy.” Said Ariel stunning me away from my daze.“Dad..” I mutters in a brim.
“So you ready taking in the big leap then?” He asked.
“I guess it’s about time dad.. I’m not letting Habil’s and Ezra’s hope and dreams down again. Though I feel it’s kind of funny, why Aaron had choose me to lead his firm instead of his sons.”
“Because of Anna Maya..he owns her big time.” Chuckles my dad. “To redeem his guilt and sin for breaking our family apart.. but I guessed it’s the best for all of us..”
“Another thing dad.. about Ezra. I’m not ready to give my heart to anyone .. maybe not ever..” I marked my stance as I interlock my fingers upon my wedding ring with Habil.
“Of course my dear, but for the best of everyone else, you ought to tell him that yourself.” Said my dad as he took his steps and leave.
It’s been almost a year since Habil’s passes, but yet the memories seems so yesterday.
“Reem..I can fully understand if that’s what you’ve decided..” utters Ezra solemnly.
I gaze upon his presence. His resemblance to Habil is simply breathtaking. But to reclaim my heart towards him is yet impossible.
We had our coffee leisurely by the garden right after dinner. Surprisingly my dad had joyfully decides to brew that significant beverage himself.
I took few sips of it, the delicate fine taste of that bitter sweetness latte had simply arisen my senses.
“Sumaiyah..” stutter Ezra as he felt faint and collapsed right beneath my feet.
“Ezra, what’s happening?” I cried in alarm and in that few seconds I too feel lightheaded and fell right next to him, struggling with all my nerves and guts to stay conscious.
Upon that moment, I saw a figure hovering slowly towards us. In my midst of not wanting to give in to a slumber after been drugged, which I believe cause by that latte, I saw that crude menacing smile drawn on his face. It was my father.
“Dad..” I whispered in a shocking agony tone.
“Shush now my princess..I’m doing this for our own good..” exclaimed my father as he daintily stroking my head, making me feel kind of draggy and dopey.
The coldness of the marble ceramic table had indeed wakes me up from my unconscious state. To my fear, all my limbs has been strapped upon the end corners of the table. My eyes lingers wildly upon the surroundings and soon I begin to realise, I was held and kept in some kind of a laboratory.
In the lab there were few huge tank which could fit in an adult person. I strained my sight as Ezra came to my thoughts upon that moment, when suddenly a figure had caught my glimpse.
“Ezra..” I utters in anguish and fear. He was fully unconscious and his hands were tied up upon the top corner of the tank. Almost half of his body was submerged in a chemical like liquid in the tank.
“Ezra..” I shouted his name hoping my calling will break his mind free from the state that he’s in. “Ezra..” I yelled again as I struggle and wriggle myself upon the table.
Ezra stirs and groans as he begins to regain his senses much to my relief.
“Reem..” he cried weakly.
“That doesn’t sound good..” I thought to myself with such a sinking hope draining my soul.
