MY MISSED LOVE

Chapter 31

Joshua POV:

I am sitting on my cabin floor in my office with a bottle of rum in my hands; surrounded by loneliness around me. The pain I am going through now can't be explained by words. It feels like someone grabbed my heart in one hand so tightly that it can burst anytime and piercing with endless needles with other hand.

I was away for a business meeting held in J City, I asked my love to accompany me but she refused saying she has some work to finish. I asked what that she has to work since she is on holiday; which she refused to tell me but promised once I am back, she will tell me everything. I know she will tell when she is ready so, I didn't push much.

The meeting was a success and the work was finished much earlier than I thought. I didn't tell this to Sara, I want to give her a surprise but I was the one who got surprised.

Flash back:

(few hours before)
I am so excited to surprise my girl anticipating the reaction I will get from her. I parked my car a little away from her house to not spoil my surprise, when I reached her mansion, I saw a car standing on the driveway which seems familiar but can't point out whose.

On opening the door, I can hear voices coming from the kitchen. I made my way there to see who the person is; I know the two voices, my girl and Akhil but the third voice is very familiar. I was just a few feet away from the kitchen, when I heard my love,

"Mason, can you just tell us about your findings already?"

Oh, I know Mason very well, I have seen him with my dad many times; I continued to proceed forward when I heard Mason's reply; which I didn't know will change my life upside down. I stood there hearing their conversation; I don't want to eavesdrop but my legs are frozen not letting my body to move.

My mother,..... she was the murderer of Uncle Abhijay and Aunt Regina; wait, why am I not surprised to hear this, may be deep down my mother's image was always like that. Sara's parents were so close to me, I mostly spend at their house and always spend my holidays with them; their death was really a huge blow but now to hear that the killer was my mother, my hatred towards that woman is on another level.

They discussed about my mother's maid who I am not fond of; she was a spy who reports every detail about my doing to my mother; now to think about her, I feel pity for her and her family. Suddenly, my mind was making many scenarios and my heart starts pumping so fast, will Sara still want to be with the son of her parent's murderer?

As like hearing my thought, Mason asked Sara,

"Sara, After, we collect all the evidence against Sindhi and make her pay, what are you going to do with Joshua? Even though, the relationship between Sindhi and him is bad but she is still his mother." Asked Mason very carefully.

Mother, that woman was never a mother to me. I am scared to hear her answer.

"I don't know what to do but I can't be like this with him after knowing about the truth. It feels.... I don't even know how to explain." Said Sara.

"Are you going to breakup with him?" asked Aki.

"You are asking this silly question after knowing the obvious. I won't elaborate for you." Said Sara making my whole world to crumble; I know the obvious, how can she love the son of a murderer, all she will remember when seeing my face would be my father's wife. I couldn't stand there anymore; the walls seem to swallow me; I need to get out and that's what I did. I ran to my car and drove around not knowing where. After who knows how long, the sky was dark; I noticed the familiar building in front, my office.

I went straight to my cabin, opened my secret mini bar I have; took bottle after bottle to gulp its content burning my throat. I hold a rum bottle in my hands to sit on the floor resting my drumming head on the coach but didn't know what to do with my heart though.
