chapter 9

She walked away from me , probably reaching the counter to reject the room that I had asked for. She gently spreaded a smile , when dialling a number in the hotel's land phone.

"Um sir , could you please get Carla to stand here on behalf of me , for today? It's urgent" she speaks to the listener , I guess the owner of the hotel.
She landed the phone in its place , took out a key and stood infront of me.
"Shall we go?" She questioned , still in a pleading voice.
I nodded and walked behind her , dragging the suitcase along. It didn't take long for her to lead me to her car. I sat infront , next to  driving seat.

In the car...
I noticed that Gemma wasn't really concentrating on the road , she was distracted , pretty obviously. I decided to console her for the moment.

"Hey! Cheer up. Harry's completely fine and um there's nothing to worry about , he'll be coming back in a month or two." I lied.

"Maybe , but - uh , I hope that he isn't hurt." She smiled with dissatisfaction ,Still staring at the road.

"I know , I understand , or I won't be coming to your house, and um don't think bad , but what is the purpose of wanting me at your place?" I questioned . is it now that I'm realizing?? God!

She chuckled slightly , freeing one of her hands off the steering wheel. "You're funny. I wanted you at my place so that my mom would know that Harry is living. Oh she's so stressed out with his memories. She won't believe it if I said, but you , you're a soldier , she has to believe you. Get it?" She explained , spreading a smile every second.

"I get it. Now concentrate on the road if you love your life " I warned , not wanting to get myself killed.

Once they reach to Gemma's house..
"Here we go" she sighed , after having the car parked in a bigly built garage. "Get down and don't worry about your suitcase , Charlie would bring it for you"

I nodded and got outta the car , turning my head to observe the house . it was a three storey house , painted in off white , with multiple windows and doors.

I followed Gemma , who frequently turned around to look at me , as if I would run away or something. We finally reached the door of the house , a bit ancient in style. The house internally was similar to thuston's house , but the ceiling was comparatively high over here.

She lead me to a couch and vanished away after asking me to wait. My eyes wandered around the hall until it caught a wall that held many pictures. I stood and drove towards it , having an overall look at all of em. As I was close enough , I saw Harry taking position in most of the pictures. He looked as usual , adorable and cute , having his dimple exposed. My fingers travelled through each of them , even a picture containing Harry and his wife , I suppose.

"E-ehem , Zayn " I heard Gemma's voice call from behind. I turned around to see her with a lady , in her mid forties , who wore a white gown.

"This must be your mother" I assumed.

She nodded. I walked up to them , who stood right behind the couch.

"Hello ma'am" I greeted.

"Call me Anne . hello anyways" she said calmy , her stressed out eyes widening as she spoke.

I smiled back and started , "I heard that you're saddened by harrys absence , but ma'a- um , aunt Anne he's perfectly alright" I consoled. She was almost tearing now. Gemma hooked her arms around her mother ,"see mom , I did tell ya "

"I thank you a lot boy , for bringing happy news to my house. I thought that Harry had - but you errased that idiotic thought from my mind. Thanks again , but I hope youre speaking the truth" Anne spoke , spreading a gently smile and patting my shoulders.

"I'm not lying , you can trust me" I promised.

"I want you to stay here , with me till you meet your family, um Gemma explained everything to me. Please do stay , it's a pleasure to have you here , my boys close friend" she requested.

"If you really say , okay" I accepted.
