We're Meant To Be [KimBen]

6- "Call Me Ben.."-?

It's hard to walk along the path of life all alone.

Yet Kim is doing this. He has his responsibilities on his shoulder to bare even though the loneliness, moroseness, grif of loss are consuming him. The empty cold room filled with memories, the photos, the nightmares all are the mirror of cruel reality, reminds him what he lost.

Every step of his life reminds him that Vegas had gone far away. He can't come back again.

The nights feel empty. He spends his night in the cold bed sheets. He has nothing to do except shading his hot tears. The memories strikes him every moment.

He feels pathetic.

Sometimes his princess accompany him. Kim feels relief for sometime but when she asks about Vegas his heart ached.

"Papa Kim... Where's papa V? I want to go to him." Viky asked holding Kim's shirt sleeve.

Kim tried his best to suppress his tears.

"Papa V.. is here."

"Where?! I want to see him!" The innocent child exclaimed.

"Can you see that brightest star?... That is your Papa V.." Kim points at the sky.

"Woowaa!! Papa V became... A star?!"

"Yes princess.. he's watching us from there."

"Ohaaa!! I want to became a star!!"

"No princess... I'll be lonely without you right."

"Humm... But I miss papa V too... I have an idea!! Papa V said star can fullfil our wish! Now he's a star! I can make a wish!" Viky is too excited. " I wish Papa V to come back to me and Papa Kim so we all can stay together like before! Please papa V come back.. I miss you." Viky went sad.

Kim hugged her so she can sleep. Kim's tears are silently escaping.

Day by day Kim's getting too peevish, fretful & horrid. His gun speaks more than his tongue.

He started ruling over the underworld ruthlessly.

He became a restless untamed beast. A cold hearted animal who has no one to pacify the wounded heart, no one to give warmth on cold nights, no one to call his name, no one to fondle his hair to make him sleep in peace.

He lost his peace, his love, his cure, his reason for living.

His dark aura makes everyone shivering in fear when he enters a room.

But he only kneels down in front of his princess. In front of her he's the best dad in the world.

For a few weeks handling Viky became too troublesome.

She's not eating properly, crying to meet Vegas all the time. Waits at the balcony every night to see the star that Kim specify as Vegas.

"Viky... I heard you're not eating again.." Kim asked.

"I won't. Papa V will feed me!"

"Hugh!! Why you always repeat the same thing?! I told you.. Vegas.. is not coming!"

"But I wished to the star!! He'll come!"

"He'll not! Stop this and finish your food!" This time Kim sounds a bit harsh.

Viky is on the verge of crying. She didn't say anything then run upstairs.

"Kim!! Hold yourself!!" Kinn said with a firm voice.
