My mind was clouded with confusing thoughts. My mind wandered to my past, to my present and to my possible future. What I needed the most was fresh air.
I grabbed my clutches and headed downstairs slowly. Each step took so much of effort. But I managed to do it carefully.
The ground floor was covered in a royal-like red carpet. A huge magnificent chandelier was hanging from the top. A shelf full of books sat in the corner. The windows were polished. There was no trace of dust. This feels like a dream ...
The whole house was extremely calm and pleasant. Rays of sunlight made their way through the polished windows. Beautiful paintings hung over the walls. Howmagnificent..
I headed out of the huge front door and into the ...
' Meadow ', was the perfect word to describe my view. It was definitely a garden but it looked much more like a meadow seen only in fairy-tales.
Neatly cut grass, various shades of Roses, Daffodils, huge trees bearing the richest fruits, Lavenders and Tulips covered the dream like meadow. A masterfully sculpted marble water fountain was placed in the middle. The way it sprayed water upwards made the scene a thousand times ethereal.
I was examining the various shades of flowers when I noticed two men in the distance. Two men having a conversation next to a gigantic Orchid tree.
I squinted my eyes to make out their faces.
It was him. Haze ....
He's back !! My heart lept up with joy. The man next to him looked like a businessman.
After a few minutes, the conversation came to an end. The other man left and he who's name I've been muttering in my sleep, the man who was so mysterious I couldn't help thinking about, saw me and started marching towards me.

My smile faltered. " Um.. just wanted to take a walk..", I murmured. " Where have you been Mr.Haze ? ", I asked trying to change the subject.
" My whereabouts are none of your concerns Olsen. What are you doing here all alone ? ", he asked scowling. " Where's Lucy ? ".
" Lucy ..? ", I asked. Lucy who ?
" The nurse. I shall fire her right away ", he sounded angry.
" No she doesn't know that I came here. I just felt like I need some fresh air...", I said in a small voice.
He closed his eyes and touched the bridge of his nose. Then he took a deep breath.
" Okay, since you're here now, shall we.. ", he pursed his lips. " Shall we go for a walk ? ", he asked looking at a tree in the distance.
" Just you and me ? ", he added calmly.
Butterflies started dancing in my stomach. Just you and me ..
I smiled. " Yes.. Mr.Haze ".
He looked at me, his cold blue eyes warming for a moment. Then he took my hand, gently. After a moment of hesitation, he said,
