'Everything's okay over there?' The moment I got the call from New I entered my room and locked the door. I wanted to talk to him without any interference.
'Everything's fine.' His voice was like a soothing balm for my aching heart.
'Send me the location.' I totally forgot to ask about this before he left for Krabi.
'Tay....' As I expected he was reluctant.
'I am not asking because I want to go there, I am asking for it just in case. I know nothing about.....' I tried my best to convince him and to him my curiosity is harmless.
After a few seconds he spoke in a soft manner,
'Okay. Okay. I will share it with you later.'
'Mn. Do that.' I felt an unspeakable happiness. If this happens earlier, I am sure he wouldn't have agreed so easily. But he is becoming more and more like the old Newiee.
The kitten-like softness of my past New and the tiger-like braveness of this present New...... I have to admit that it's a deadly combination. I chuckled inwardly.
'Dinner's ready.' But my happiness was short-lived and Luke's voice made my mood sour.
'Luke is cooking?' I tried to act nonchalant but failed miserably.
'Yeah.' New replied with a sigh, easily able to detect my mood.
'Why? You two are alone? Where are the other guys?' I sounded like a whiny old man guarding his young wife.
'Tay, did you forget already? We are staying in two separate houses.' New was patient enough to remind me about the arrangements.
Right! I totally forgot about that! New told me how, when or where they are going to execute the plan. Before leaving he shared every detail which made me very satisfied and happy.
'Oh. Right. So they are not with you?' I lowered my voice and calmed down.
'Is that possible? We are here to confront Non. Would he come to meet me if there are people surrounding me always?' I know he is trying his best to not get irritated.
'You said you will talk to him and record it and then give it to the police as a confession. Are you sure he is going to confess murdering his own sister?' I tried to salvage the situation by diverting the conversation.
'That's the tricky part but I have to do that anyway.' His voice became normal again.
Ufff! Close call!
'Don't take unnecessary risk.' I reminded him gently.
'I won't.' His reply was short but I know he was telling the truth.
'What are you doing? Come and have dinner. You have to take your medicine after that.'
That Luke again! He is doing this on purpose! He is trying to provoke me.
'You go and eat. Then take medicine. Talk to you tomorrow.' But I am not going to step into your trap. So I hurriedly agreed to end our conversation. And it's important for New to take the meds on time. I am doing this for New.
'Mn. Good night.'
'Good night.'
After ending the call I kept staring at the wall, mind full of millions of images. New..... eating dinner with Luke.
New...... talking animatedly to Luke.
New...... walking on the beach with Luke.
New...... saying good night to Luke.Ahhhhh! I am going crazy here!
I was about to explode with anger when a sudden knock brought me back to the reality.I got up and opened the door and saw ma was standing there with a plate of food.
