Chapter 4
Handing my ticket to the boarding staff, I intended to my hand carry bag, which had my laptop, my cell phone, and a few other rations. I tried to keep my mind off the thought of her but nothing helped. Sauntering down the tapered way between the seats, I reached the first class section. You must be thinking how I got a first class ticket? Well, the Alpha wants me to come to him and he has class.
Getting snug in the large seat, I decided to take a nap. I knew sleep wasn’t coming this quickly but I still tried. The plane took off and I felt a twinge to my heart. Was it because I was away from her?
Trying to ignore the bothersome voice in my head, I plugged my earphones in.
You know you love her.
Shut up! She called a freak! Don’t you think that’s enough proof?
Do you really believe she meant it?
I didn’t answer back because my heart and mind both knew the answer. I just needed to hear it from her, before I could completely believe that she didn’t think of me as a freak. There was still hope shining like sun rays from between a tree; it was little but it was enough.
I’m one of those people who always visualize the worst, well, because only the worst happens to me. I knew I shouldn’t be like this, but I can’t help those devious thoughts running through my skull.
Before I could skirmish with my mind and heart, I dozed off.
Violent shaking woke me from my slumber. I shouldn’t have slept; it could’ve been precarious for me. I could sense a few Titiums on the plane but chose to ignore it.
Picking up my things I walked through the narrow ways in between the seats to the egress. The heat hit me with full force and within a few minutes, I was covered in sweat. I saw Mandy and Ali waiting for me. They had escorted me last time in China as well.
After our usual greeting and small talk, we traversed a Mercedes to our hotel in Agra. I didn’t bother to know the name of the hotel.
‘You’ll meet Alpha tonight at 8, till then, you are free to go or do whatever you want,’ said Ali. Mandy was just a grade-A slut. I’m pretty sure she’s slept with half of Agra. Ali was just a cool dude; didn’t talk much other than orders which was awesome.
The room I had was a tranquil one with a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan made it for his wife. How could he love her so much? I’m pretty sure, the history is twisted. I mean how could someone spend more than their country’s whole assets on a stupid edifice just to show his love? Love’s presence is a huge wonder but I’m talking about showing your love. You don’t have to prove love; you just know from the others simple actions that show his affection.
I could go on and on but before that I planned on a shower. I let the frosty, icy water hit me and cool me down. After a few minutes, my teeth started chattering and goose bumps rose all over my body.
Getting out with a towel wrapped around waist I entered my room. I room had a huge glass window and I could see people laughing, having fun. Before I could fetch clothes, my phone started buzzing; it was grandma.
‘Hey, weren’t you supposed to call me when you landed? I was worried sick.’
‘Sorry, grandma, it’s really hot here. I was taking a shower; I was about to call you.’
‘Shut up, I know you’re lying.’
I chuckled softly. My orbs gazed out the window and I saw a few Indian girls looking my way and giggling. Could they see me?
‘You there? Carter?’
‘Yeah, yeah, I’m here. I was about to change. I’ll call you later.’
Before she could answer me back I shut the phone. I saw the girls were still there, still giggling. My cheeks heated up in the embarrassment. I went back to the bathroom to fetch my clothes.
After getting dressed, I went to the dining hall to fetch some lunch. Sitting on a terrace facing Taj Mahal, I ate my poori peacefully.
My nervous were on edge since I arrived here and I couldn’t help but think of what was going to happen when I met Alpha. I didn’t want to be punished; I don’t think I did anything wrong but I knew he wouldn’t refrain from bending the rules for the worse.
You may think I forgot about Iris, but I swear, I can’t get her face out of my mind. Those eyes and those full lips; I knew she called me a freak, indirectly but I could resist her beauty.
My fantasy was interrupted by Mandy. I didn’t even want to see her. She was wearing a tightly fitted top with really short leather shorts; they looked more like panties, than shorts.
‘So, do you want to have a drink in my room?’ she purred ‘seductively’ while reaching for my hand. I pulled my hand away from her venomous ones.
‘Sorry babe, I don’t do sluts.’ I replied rather calmly. I haven’t insulted a slut in a long time and boy did it feel good.
She gave me the glare and stormed off to her new boy toy on the other side of the room and started sucking his face and according to her ‘showing him heaven’.
After a few seconds she looked up and smirked at me and I just showed her the middle finger and winked at her, to make it more tantalizing for her.
I asked the waiter to put the bill on my room and went outside to explore. After walking a mile or two I reached a street of stall of colourful ornaments. I had money, so I decided to buy grandma something.
I came across a stall filled with scarps of a thin material. The exotic coloured hypnotized me and my orbs couldn’t move. My gaze landed on a purple coloured scarp with a brown border. I asked the price from the seller, who thankfully understood a little English.
After paying him the amount, I decided to look further. It was still 4 and I was thinking of going back at 7 and be ready a little early.
The Taj Mahal was so exquisite and picturesque; I could stay there my whole life and keep my eyes glued to the pictorial structure. I sat down on a small grassy patch of land just enjoying the serenity of the moment.
I could sense fear but overlooked it. I didn’t realise when the same girls who saw me naked were coming my way.
All of them looked alike but one of them seemed a little different; she didn’t look Indian.
‘Umm...Can we ask you a question?’ the different one asked.
‘What?’ I asked harshly; I didn’t come here to make friends but on a duty.
‘Where are you from?’
‘I’m from England’ before they could continue, I walked back to the hotel really to take on the biggest problem ahead of me; the Alpha.
