Chapter 02.

     

        I was sitting in bar when Oliver exposed me, “That other women might get close to him”. My eyes got wide as I heard this and mouth got opened. “What happen? Why did your face turn white? Did you saw a ghost?” he added. “Huh! No- nothing! Its not like that!” I replied. He looked at my face like he was trying to read it. “I wouldn’t-…” these words came out of his mouth but someone opened the bar door. Morella entered and behind her Victor and Nataliya entered, Morella ran her eyes through crowd and then her eyes stopped at me and she jumped, “There she is!” she said. Victor and Nataliya saw me and waved their hands. I also waved my hand, they came to me and they ordered drinks. “So where is your Johnny?” Morella asked me while looking around. “ummm… he was here. Where did he go?” I said and started looking for him. Then my eyes stopped on Morella’s face and she was looking at the stage. I also looked over there. Johnny was there, sitting on chair and he was grabbing a guitar. “Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoyed yourselves , before starting today’s show I would like to sing a song which I used to sing for my little girl. She was very small when I brought her here and every night I used to hug her and sing this song so that she could sleep and today she asked me to sing this song” he said and Morella looked at me, “Aww” she said and placed her hands on her chest. Johnny took deep breath then his gaze met mine and he started singing,

“Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born”.

Morella looked at me, “He is looking at you” she said and started clapping lightly. Every thing was going fine and everyone was enjoying the song but then,

“Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won’t say yes to him unless I know he’s the half that makes you whole
He has a poet’s soul, and the heart of a man’s man
I know he’ll say that he’s in love but between you and me
He won’t be good enough”

When he sang these lines my heart got heavy and it got difficult for me to breath, it felt like someone stabbed my heart with knife. I grabbed Morella’s shoulder, “Are you alright?” she asked and grabbed my hand. “No I, I,I have to go” I replied, “But where?” she asked. I didn’t reply and started walking towards the door. I opened the door and got out of the bar, it was cold night I started walking and reached parking lot. There was a green bench and I sat on it. I started rubbing my arms to keep them warm and the only thing that I was thinking was the lines that Johnny sang. I started shaking with cold and I took deep sigh and smoke came out of my mouth. Then someone put black jacket on my shoulders. I looked up and found Johnny standing as I saw him tears came in my eyes. He sat with me and I hugged him and started crying. He hugged me, “Don’t cry, someday you have to go with the man of your dreams” he said and put his chin on my head. “Johnny I don’t want to… I just want to live with you forever…” I cried. “Oh! My dear Zelle, my dear little kitten! Where ever you are, how far you are, always remember Johnny will be there for!” he said looking straight in my eyes. I looked at him with my bottom lips jutting out. He caressed my face then tuck my hair behind my ear and then brought my face near his lips and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes and took deep breath to relax in his presence. I smelled his scent, his sweet scent and I hugged him tightly to feel warmness of his body. “Ahm!” Oliver said who came out of the bar he was wearing skin long coat and white muffler in his neck, “Why you both are sitting over here?” he asked. “Aaa… nothing! Roselle got emotional so we just came out” Johnny replied. Oliver raised his eyebrows, “Is she OK?” he asked. Johnny nodded, “Yes she is……. And I’ll just leave her home” Johnny said and Oliver shake his hand to stop Johnny, “ Wait! Wait! Johnny I came here to tell you that Liam is calling you for the song” he said. Johnny started thinking while he started tugging his ear then stroking beard on his chin and then opened his mouth to say something. “I’ll leave her” Oliver said before Johnny could say anything. Johnny looked at him then looked at me then his eyes moved towards Oliver, “And you’re the bartender right?” Johnny asked. Oliver smirked and placed cigarette in his mouth, “Jacob will serve the drinks” he said and lighten up his cigarette. Johnny took deep breath, “Ok kitten! I have to go now, Oliver will leave you home and I’ll try my best to get home as early as possible OK?” he told me while putting his hands on my shoulders. I nodded, he smiled and caressed my chin, “You never let me feel that you have grown up” he said and Oliver came towards me and guided me the way. “Call me when you reach home” Johnny said and then he looked at Oliver then me with worried face expressions and he walked inside. Oliver and I started walking, “He is worried about you” he said. I looked at him, he was exhaling smoke of cigarette out of his mouth. “Because I’m with you” he said bringing face near to mine and then again got back to his position. “Oh! Ha ha” I said with enigmatic smile. Then we kept silent for five to seven minutes, I could hear our foot steps echoing in street. “So!” he said suddenly and jumped in front of me and scared me. “Why are you like this?” I said. He tilt his head backward and laughed loudly, his voice echoed. “So tell me! When did you fall in love with him?!” he asked again bringing his face near to mine. I got back, “How did you figured it out?” I asked. He leaned back and looked up, “ummm… well the way you were looking at him, the spark in your eyes and the way you were hugging him outside the bar in parking lot” he said and took out another cigarette. “Hm” I said, “ He was my father’s closest friend, he used to come to our house and bring chocolates for me. I was really attached with him, I loved his sense of humor and his sweet scent which he uses” I said and giggled, “He also helped me in my drawings, well that’s the other case that I don’t draw any more” I said before looking down, our shoes were covered with snow. “Very beautiful story… then?” he asked. I swallowed, “Every beautiful story has a sad part, on one rainy day my aunt take me to hospital and there I find out that my parents died in car accident. My aunt took me to her house but I couldn’t stay there cause of her restrictive behavior and I just had some issues with her then Johnny brought me here.” I replied. “ I’m sorry for your parents death” he said and put cigarette in his mouth. “ I’ve been living with him for eight years, as the time passed by my feelings for Johnny started to grow and then they changed. I couldn’t figured it out what they were and then Morella told me that I’m” I said and he interrupted, “ in love”. I looked at him and he lightly smiled. I saw the light of my home, “my destiny has arrived, I have to go” I said but he stopped me, “Lets be friend” he said. “Ok…….” I said and hold my hand up for hand shake and he shake hands with me, I felt very light after talking to him. “So when ever you need help regarding to this, I’ll be always available” he said and bowed. “ Thank you very much and bye” I said. “Bubye and see you soon” he said and winked. He started walking and I watched him till he disappeared. I got in house, removed my heels, set fire on chimney and laid on sofa. I took out my phone and texted Johnny that I have reached home. I tilt my head backwards and stretched my body then my eyes stopped on Johnny’s jacket which I was wearing. I removed it, “How will he come home in this cold weather without jacket” I thought. Then I smelled the jacket and inhaled his scent, I imagined the time we both spend at the parking lot and his words ran through my mind, ‘someday you have to go with the man of your dreams’. I sighed, “I wish I could tell you that you are the man of my dreams” I said and pressed his jacket against my chest while tears ran down my face. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. When I was sleeping I dreamed him singing, “Johnny… Don’t leave me… Just stay with me…” I said. “I’ll always be with you” I heard him and then everything got black. I woke up, rays of sunlight were entering through window and wind was blowing lightly. “ She is sleeping right now” I heard Johnny, I stood up and saw him standing near the landline, his one hand on wall and from other he was holding the phone, “I’ll tell her to call you….. Yeah, yeah Ok take care bye” he said and hang up the phone. “Who was it?” I asked, “Your aunt” he replied and turned around. He was wearing his brown sleeping dress and I could easily see his chest. “Aunt Grace? What was she saying?” I asked and turned my gaze down from his chest. “She wants to meet you” he replied and rubbed back of his neck. I didn’t reply, “ You should meet her, she has been asking it from last month” he said and got near me. “I don’t want to” I said, “And why?” He asked counter question. I looked at him, “Cause whenever I meet her she just demands me to go back with her and I don’t want to and I-I-I just don’t like her” I replied. He took deep sigh then rubbed his eyes, “Are you tired?” I asked. “ Yeah kind of” he said, “I’ll just sleep a little more” he said. “Ok!” I said and he went up stairs. I sat on sofa and took deep breath and started thinking about aunt Grace, “ Why every one is after me” I said and covered my face with my hands. “What’s day today?” I asked to my self and then checked my phone. It was Sunday, “Oh no! The rehearsal” I said and jumped of sofa. There were 5 miss calls of Morella, 6 of Victor and 3 of Nataliya. I ran to my room got ready and reached the stairs but then I remembered to tell Johnny that I’m going. I opened his room’s door as I opened it his scent entered my nose, there was darkness inside the room and then I closed the door. I took a paper and write on it that I’m going for rehearsal and pasted it on my door and then got out of house. I started walking and got at the corner of the street but then I saw Nataliya. I stood behind the wall, “What is she doing over here?” I whispered. She was waiting for someone then a car arrived and she got in the car. I stopped a taxi and asked the driver to follow that car. Many questions were coming in my mind and the answer to these questions was where Nataliya is going to stop. I asked driver to keep car slow so that she could not know that someone is following her. The car got out of crowded area to quite place and then it get in the park which once used to be a public area but now it was abundant. I asked taxi driver to stop the car I got off the car and started walking so that she could not get clue that someone was following her. Her car stopped and I hide behind the tree, she got off the car and car drove away. ‘What is she up to?’ I thought, then she started walking inside the bridge area. I followed her but then after some time I lost her. “Fuck!” I whispered then I started walking until I reached bridge. Near the bridge there was roller costal track, “Where did she go?” I asked my self and then put my hands on my waist. “Right there! Ah! Ah…..mmm” I heard female sounds. I followed the sounds and they were coming from under the bridge. ‘Why are these sounds so-’  I thought while I reached down and then peaked and my eyes got wide when I saw Nataliya with Richard. He had pined her to wall and had lifted her leg up around his waist. And Nataliya was half naked and they were fucking. She was moaning and he was thrusting and then she tilt her head back with pleasure and he sucked her neck. I started trembling as I saw her doing this. “She, she is cheating on Victor” I whispered, “I have to tell him but how?” and then idea clicked my mind I took out my phone and took their pictures. And then got out of there, ‘How would I tell Victor? Should I tell him or not? But I can not expose Nataliya she is also my friend. I should tell Morella but she gets angry easily, she would create a scene. What should I do?’ many questions can in my mind. Then I took decision to tell Victor everything, I took taxi and reached the studio. I opened the door and found Morella and Victor there. “You are thirty minutes late” Morella said. “ Where have you been? Nataliya has also went out to bring you” Victor said. “Come on Victor! She might be busy with her uncle” Morella said and winked at me and Victor looked at me with questioning eyes. “Victor! I have to tell you something” I said. “What is it?” Nataliya said as she entered the studio. She reached Victor and both kissed. I felt disgusted by her, “So what was it?” Victor asked. “Ah! I, um… leave it! I just forgot it” I pretended that I really forgot it. “Ok” he said. We did rehearsal and whole time I couldn’t believe Nataliya, she was acting like everything was fine. But I knew that everything was messed up.
