THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 30

***Please feel free to correct my grammar mistakes***


Life is too short like a bush that would bloom in the morning, some may throw a vigorous smile in the direction of the sun, some may take a good bath to chill down their throbbing root whenever the rain flows, some would cry when the heavy wind caresses their cheeks a bit harsh but would decades in the evening like it didn't bloom in the first place. And the next morning another will replace the old bush not aware of it won't remain stable for a day. In between these life circles we human lives our life filling our hearts full of wrath, revenge, anger, jealousy, anguish, etc, etc even I can't figure out whatever they would kept in their plate. But one thing is sure. There is no love remains in their plate. For which we failed to notice whatever losses we have faced until a day knocks to our door, the day of our last breath releases from the earth that we can't retrieve any sin we had committed in the past and can't amend all our mistakes even we want, because... it's too late. Yes! Too late.

Haven't I told you life is too short?


But some peoples were blessed from birth, who have the ability to hold the time and stop their abnormal things that would break their relationship that they can't retrieve by any cost.

Fed is one of them.

"I know you are too young to marry. Twenty-one is the number where girls would wander around the world but you, my little girl tied your life with your loved one, to prove your maturity. I'm very proud of you, Reil. He is worth for a fight." Fed said wiping the drop of tears from my eyes.


"I was angry, but on the other hand happy to see you stand on your own feet just to protect your love mate. You have grown up a lot even though you were little by ages. It feels my heavyweight lift off my shoulders. Your dad would be very proud of you if he---" He gulped down and kissed my forehead unable to utter any words.

"You are my favorite girl and the credit will last forever even after I find my woman in the future. Now stop crying." He pinched both my cheeks and made a pouty face that kinda eased my grieves.

He is the Fed I have known from my diaper. I wrapped my hands around his neck and hugged him tightly. The moment took me eight years back where I heard my dad's dead news.

"I thought I lost my favourite person." I hiccupped. He plays the main role in my life as a friend, a mentor, a role model, a brother and a father. I can't imagine my life without him.

"I'm always for you. Right now enjoy your new life with your man. Put the end card to Heil. I will arrange everything. I even asked Derick to get you a permission to continue your research. It's a small help from my side." My face lit up with happiness the moment I  heard those words.

Taking my little hand in his big hand, he placed my hand over Blake's already waiting hand and said, "She may lose her dad but remember her guardian is still alive." Blake nodded his head as a approval and flashed him a very very weak smile.

"Okay then. I'm taking my leave. Once again happy married life, Reil. Don't think you rushed your marriage. You took the right decision. I'm ready to die knowing you are in the safe hand." Satisfaction glittered in his eyes.

I slapped Fed's shoulders and burst into tears. "Don't talk like that." I hardly managed to speak. Meanwhile, Blake was rubbing my back but didn't say any words.

Flashing us a warm smile, Fed turned his heels and walked away from our sight. We both stayed there until his back was nowhere to see.

Only memory can bring a smile into our face.

Letting out a heavy sigh, I decided to open my eyes to give some space to my restless heart although my eyelids felt very heavy as I was running out of sleep for the past three days. Maybe it was true. Three days before I faced that arrogant Heil and my uncle.

Later on, Fed came to my life and threw some bombs opening his heart out. Then yesterday I got married. And now I'm a married woman, not an immature silly girl who kept calling a stranger as a walking stick.

Walking stick... my walking stick.

Strange feelings crept inside my heart when I felt someone is snuggling very close to my neck. I opened my eyes abruptly and saw him sleeping like a baby, his one arm was wrapped around my waist keeping me clue against his body.

"Go to sleep, Reil." He muttered but his eyes were still closed.

I furrowed my brows as not knowing where the sound is coming. "No one is staying with us. So you can guess it's me speaking to you." His black orbs met my eyes which shone in an armor.

"You are up?!" I asked confusingly. Just a second ago he was sleeping like a baby and now he fully awakens.

"Yes, my lady. I have prepared your tea." He unwrapped his hand from me only to get the tea from the nightstand. After handling the tea to me, he wrapped his hand back where it has stayed.

I tried my best not to look at his bare shoulders which is begging to get my attention, for which I felt a tickling sensation in my stomach. Gulping down, I leaned on the headboard and sipped the tea which almost made me moan loudly whereas he stirred and buried his face on the stem of my waist and said, "If you make another sound I'm not guaranteed of my inner beast." Thank God he didn't see my red face otherwise I would have died out of embarrassment.

"Thanks for the tea." I placed the mug on the chair but got no response from his side. And when I looked at his baby face I didn't get the mind to wake him up so I freed myself from his grip without disturbing his peaceful sleep and tiptoed to the bathroom to finish my morning routine.

"You should have wakened me." Blake shook his head while folding the bedsheet. His bareback is facing me. Furrowing my brows I walked near him and said, "Why are you doing this? I will-" He placed a finger on my lips and shushed me.

"I'm married to you, not brought you to be my servant." My heart went into the ice burgs ready to melt in that short period.

"Now stop ogling me. I'm your husband. " He winked at me that made me go like a tomato. When I was about to turn the faint scar on his chest got my attention and I looked at his chest intensively. It's looked like it had happened one or two weeks ago.

"What's happened there?" I pointed my finger towards his chest. He looked down his chest and said, "When I went to the forest for hunting, a long stick stuck on the three but I didn't notice and ran after my prey. Fortunately, I was very quick to move aside or else it would have pierced my heart while my focus was solely on my prey." He smiled.

"Ohh... please be careful next time." I gave one more glance to his chest.

"Sure.. my responsibility has been increased." He gave me a toothless grin for which I shoot him a playful glare.


"What should I cook for breakfast?" I asked while rubbing my wet hair with his towel after enquiring whether it has washed neatly. Urrr.... Don't get me wrong. Usually, I won't use anyone's stuff, especially the stuff is used for their day to day life like a handkerchief and a towel.

"Hugh?!!!" He rubbed his temple, his eyes shut tightly as he's not happy with the question. "Stop being act like a housewife, Reil." He threw me a harsh glare even though I can read fake in it.

"Okay.. Okay... I want Onion Dosa " I raised both my hand as a surrender before made my way to the closet to get ready.

"Huhmp!" He cleared his throat silently seeking my attention. Halfway I turned at him and shot him a questioning look. "By the way you are breathtaking in my shirt. It suits you well." Heat erupted through my blood and ran towards the closet whereas he laughed with his butt off.

Such a shame...

Thirty minutes later we both ready to leave the place. Emiem has been calling for every five minutes as she wanted to tell me something important. Wish I would hear a good news.

Noticing my state he asked, "What's the matter?" but I simply waved my hand and started my Scooty. Yes! My Scooty. He asked me to go with him but I insisted.

We reached the centre sharp at 11.30 am. And there I saw Emiem walking back and forth, fidgeting her fingers nervously. What got into her. 

"See you later." I kissed Blake's cheeks before running towards my dearest friend who is on the verge of crying. "Hey what happened to you? You seem nervous?!" I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Oh! God... You okay." She asked worriedly.

'How do I look like to you. I'm perfectly alright girl. Now spill the beans.' I wanted to ask these things but saved the harsh treatment, kept reminding my mind that she is not Natasha. "Hmm...yeah...I think so. What got into you?" I raised my brows at her.

"Reil." She looked at me not sure of herself. "Go ahead." I motioned her to continue. Inhaling deeply she opened her mouth and said, "Yesterday when I was with Rakesh I noticed a strange thing...that... he.. he was kept scratching the skin above his chest like he got an infection. And---" She bit her lips, her eyes were beamed with tears and the trembling hand doesn't noticed by me. What's really bothering her.

"And?" I asked without any clue.

"And when I asked What's bothering him he said he has been ill for two days but don't know why. So I accompanied him with his home..." long pause.

"Girl spill the beans." I literally raised my voice. 

"Whereas I found a strange things....the things..." She gulped down not able to finish the sentence.

"Which things?" I asked, curiosity took the best out of me.

"The syringe" Her voice shattered.

"You mean--" my eyes widen in shock as my hand slapped over my mouth without my knowledge. As a response she nodded her head, tears were pooling down through her cheeks.

"That was the same syringe." She fell into my shoulder and cried her heart out.

I clearly remembered that the syringe was attached to the monster's chest. And how did Rakesh get that? By chance--- my thoughts were interrupted when Rakesh came to us and said, "Hey! Blake is looking for you."

Salt of fear crossed my mind as thinking I'm standing very close to the human Heil even though my heart kept saying that it's just the misunderstanding.

Yeah! A mere misunderstanding.

Once he saw the crying Emiem his features changed into concern. "Hey Emiem. What happened to you?" Rakesh embraced her in his arm and stroked her hair smoothly.

"She's homesick. Please take care of her." I excused myself before leaving them together.

It can't be him. I did verify his DNA with the sample of Heil's brown fur and got a negative result.

"Don't come to any conclusion. We will figure out soon." I texted her while walking through the hallway to meet my husband. Even though my heart felt heavy, I remained strong for her.

She sent me a sad smiley followed by a thumps up smiley. But I can read the sadness in her heart. After all she is not a smiley person.
