Mystery Girl

Chapter #21

Jackson's POV:

After eating breakfast I left her apartment thanking her once again.while returning I thought about her shivering state during her nightmare.I was curious to know what was in her nightmare but I didn't asked because I didn't wanted her to recall that dream.I kept on thinking about her until I reached my home.

"Mammaaa" I shouted in a chirpy voice to call my mom.
My mom came towards me and I hugged her.

"Bigoshipda" I said while hugging her.

"Liar" my mom said.

"Wae?"

"U didn't even called me once" mom unwrapped her arms.

"Mom we were in the middle of forest.how can there be network signals available? .. jinja jinja bogoshipda" I hugged her again.

"Oh .. I didn't thought about that" she hugged me again.

Both of us sat down on the couch in living room and she asked me about my trip and i told her every single thing that happened there.I didn't told her about melissah's bruises and her sleeping pills addiction because these things can spoil her image that I would never want to.

"Did you slept at yoon wo's place last night?" Mom asked me.

"No no .. I was walking home with melissah then rain poured down so I had to stay at her place" I said.

"Ahaan .. how is she btw? .. Is she doing okay?"

"Yeah .. she is great .. I think now she have learned to express her thoughts a bit" I smiled.

"Thats great to hear .. I wish I could meet her someday .. I really want to see her .. is she pretty?" Mom asked

"Alot" I blushed while saying that and mom noticed.

"Ehmm .. someone is having a crush" mom teased me while smiling.

"Ah mom .. I told her about your cooking and she said she would love to taste your hand made food .. actually she ate instant noodles all the time " I tried to change the topic.

"Really? Instant noodles? Ahh .. poor child ..Why dont you tell her to come over .. I would love to make food for her"

"Of course I will tell her"

I returned to my room after lots of chatting with mom,it was a day off from university so I took a nap.I was about to lay down when my phone ringed.it was a notification from the fancafe.I quickly opened my fancafe.

           _"Did you ever tried to excape the prison of
            your own mind?it feels like hell "_
                                                                    _"$inïster"_

It was melissah.I wonder what she is thinking right now that she wrote something like that.I slept with this thought in my mind.

Melissah's POV:

After jackson left I turned on the TV and begun to watch a random movie when my phone rang and it was from detective wang.my heart stopped to beat for a while.I picked up his call with my shaky hands.

"Hello Mr.Wang"

"Hello Melissah dear .. how are you?"

"I am good .. how are you?"

"I am fine .. actually .. I wanted to show you something.my team has gathered some evidences against that mafia which can help us drag him to the court. Are you free to join?"

"Oh .. okay I will come over there then"

"Alright"

With that he hunged up.I sighed.finally the case was getting somewhere.finally someone was sincerely willing to catch that gangster.

After that I went for a walk nearby.slowly walking across the gardens diving in my own pool of thoughts once again.I sat in a garden thinking about that incident .. how a person is left with nothing but himself only.how his loved ones are turned into ashes,how its entertaining to somebody watching others begging for help,how this all took place in my life,how everything changed,how melissah changed actually, ..

I used to love everyone around me .. I used to make everyone smile .. I would cry a river at small things .. I was afraid of darkness,thunderstorm and most probably .. being left alone .. but how an accident changed everything .. how strong I became living alone .. how I learned to endure the pain .. how my tears dried .. how I find peace in the darkness .. how I enjoyed rain and thunderstorm ..

I was busy in my thoughts when my eyes caught a small girl playing with her father in the garden.I remembered my days with my dad.he would took me to garden after coming back from his office.no matter how much tired he felt he would still play with me.everything was so beautifull.

My heart hurt watching that little girl.
"I miss you dad" I bit my bottom lip to stop my tears from falling.I cant cry.I promised myself I would never cry.I am strong.and strong people never cry.I got up from the bench and moved towards the cafe for my job.

*Monday morning*

Jackson's POV:

Everybody reached in the class and we all were discussing about the fun we had at the trip.I must say that because of this trip our bonding became strong.jian yao and me and yoon wo were laughing at a joke when melissah entered the class.she sat down on her desk after greeting us with a smile.but something was wrong .. her smile .. it was clear that she was faking it.
