Slave..... Will I Ever Be Free??

The Important Day

Ae's POV:

I was feeling so much hurt right at this moment after seeing the miserable state of the bedroom Pete have been staying in. It was worse than a prison where the criminals are kept. My innocent kitten has suffered without any reason.

"Pete, I have a surprise for you." I said. "Surprise?" he asked with twinkling eyes. "Yes!! But you'll see it when you come here." I stated. I didn't want to give any hints. "Okay...." He replied in his soft voice. I wish I could pinch his cheeks.

"Was por nearby when I called you earlier?" I inquired. "Yes, por had come to inform me that I have to pack my stuff for a month since you are coming to pick me up." He spoke. I was delighted after hearing that. Weir had already cleared things with Pete and there was no place for doubt in this whole situation.

"Are you excited?" I asked. "Yes!!" he said nodding his head. We talked for hours like earlier day till Pete started to blink his eyes several time to keep himself awake. I had to coax him to go to sleep while promising him of picking him up early.

I was getting really irritated with the slower pace of passage of days. I had been missing Pete and I wanted to get him out of that place as soon as possible. I would call him every night and speak to him for hours but still it felt like it wasn't enough.

I tried to keep myself busy but it didn't work. Each time I tried to do something, Pete's face would pop-up in my mind. I was so used to hearing his voice and seeing him on video calls that I had a hard time to stop thinking about him.

Finally, there was only one day left for me to bring Pete home. I was all excited and advised James to prepare Pete's favorite food. I stuffed the fridge with ice-cream and also bought of lot chocolates. I wanted to make Pete happy as much as possible.

The whole day passed by with me preparing everything for Pete. I wanted to make sure that he would love this place.

Finally, it was night and I was excited as I waited for Pete's call. It was normally his usual time of calling so I sat with phone in my hand because I didn't want to keep my kitten waiting. I stared at the screen like an idiot expecting it to light up any moment now.

It was already past 15 minutes but Pete didn't call. Must be he is busy with packing. I waited for another 15 minutes followed by more and more till it was past two hours. I think he must have hidden the cell phone in luggage since he will be coming here. Or may be Weir is there with him that's why he had hidden it somewhere? Or was it that Weir found out about the phone and snatched it away from Pete?

Thousands of questions were running inside my mind and I was concerned about the innocent lad. No!! Weir won't be able to find out about the cell phone, Pete was being very careful. I tried to assure my heart that everything was fine and Pete wasn't in any danger.

It was matter of only few hours now because I was going to pick him up in morning. And if something would have gone wrong, Weir would have called por and informed him about it. And por would have surely told me.

There was no such incidence and it meant that everything was fine. I guess, Weir is keeping eye on Pete because of tomorrow. I tried to calm down my mind and heart that were making me go crazy. Mind was trying to assure heart that everything was fine and heart was constantly getting worried.

My inner battle continued throughout the night and I didn't get even an ounce of sleep. I sat on bed worrying about Pete till the alarm started to ring indicating that it was already time to get fresh. I hurried through my morning routine and then went for breakfast.

James had already got everything ready so I ate the meal and then prepared to leave. I walked out and called my father. He picked up after 5 rings and he sounded calm. It assured that there was nothing wrong and there wasn't any problem with Weir. "Hello son!! Did you call me to remind that you are picking Pete up?? You have already done it 10 times from yesterday and I know that you will be picking him up today. I'll surely come to your place so stop being doubtful." Por stated.
