THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 31

"What happened my wifey?" Blake stroked my cheeks while I was standing there with double-minded not knowing whether to tell him the incidents or not.

By God's grace, he didn't ask anything about that night and if I tell him about the syringe and Rakesh's new revelation he definitely pulls me to the end as to tell him why did I go to that place without his concern.

Rakesh is his best friend, at least I can say he cares for him. So telling him a piece of news about our new discovery would cause damage to their friendship.

"Nothing...I was just worried about Emiem. She has been crying for a while." I lied. Please don't push me further. I prayed internally but who says our prayer has been heard all the times, especially mine? I'm the unlucky fellow.

"And why?" His lengthy eyebrows furrowed together as three straight lines appeared on his forehead.

"Homesick." I let out a small laugh. If they knew her past life they wouldn't believe me. Thankfully they don't know anything about her past. She is so strong than me.

When we were in the 5th grade, we went to Columbia for three days excursion. I and four of our friends had been crying, longing to see our parents but she stayed like a stone, eating all our snacks and smiling vigorously mocking everyone's state. Well...what we can expect from the ten years old kid. I can't blame her, me as well.

"Strange!!" He shook his head before handing me a white color box. Oh! that means my prayer has been heard. God is great!! But... what is this?

"What's this?" I asked. I eyed the box but no words framed inside my already filled brain, the only name Heil has stored everywhere that couldn't give any space to think about normal life. I think I won't get any normal life until the worst chapter Heil was closed. 

"Open it." He pointed the box in my hand. A shy smile played in the corner of his lips as I noticed a faint pink dot on his pale cheeks. Was he blushing? 

Curiously, I unwrapped the box and find a pair of beautiful ear rings in it. "It's so pretty." I was mesmerized by his choice as I didn't think that he would be this romantic material. Who can predict him either? I shook my thoughts and hugged him sincerely.

"Thank you so much." I was grinning like a mad girl who was escaped from the mental hospital.

"Reil--- hmm.... hope I'm not disturbing your lovely moments." Dacy hid her smile whereas Nichole chewed her lower lips to hide her anxiety.

"We were just talking!" I tried to convince them but they know I'm bad at lying.

"Ahh--- we don't mind." Dacy teased showing her perfect white teeth.

"Then why are you here?" Blake questioned them irritation is evidence in his voice. He needs to learn to be easy on them.

"Huh-- all our members were gathered there. They are waiting for you." Nichole said looking at me.

"Shit!!! I cursed under my breath. Yesterday night I texted Emiem to arrange the meeting but I kinda forget it.

"I'm coming.." I shoot them an apologetic smile. They nodded their head and walked away before giving me a mischievous grin.

"I wanted to go." I pecked his lips before stormed out of his cabin, not before locked the box inside his drawer.

We discussed many things about Heil and his human side. Once again I taught them that his brain is twice time faster than us, his features will change once he matches with a girl.

They nodded their head understanding the seriousness about the situation. "I asked Blake to collect the bio details of man whoever is living very close to this village. Fortunately, there are only twenty men are living around this place including Blake and Rakesh." My heartbeat increased when I pronounced those two names.

Rakesh is not Heil. Please, God. Don't make our life hard.

"It's easy for us to identify Heil but prevention is better than cure. So please don't involve any activities with any stranger. I can't sacrifice any of us." Indirectly I told them the message that I wanted to share.

"I can understand where you're taking the matter but what about you. Blake is also a stranger but you can do all---"

"Shut up, Natasha. He is not a stranger to her. They know each other very well, even we know him." Clara stood my side.

"We all know you are talking out of jealousy." Dacy shot her a hard glare for which she huffed and looked down into her laptop.

"Just go through the files. I asked the medical team to check their bodies once a month. If they notice any harmonic change or physical change, they will let us know but that doesn't mean we can be negligent." For which they hummed in response and went back to their work.

"Where's Emiem?" I asked to Chole who gave me a questioning look, her dark brows furrowed together as she didn't understand my question. Well, I asked her a question in English, not any other languages, right?

"I thought you gave permission to her. I saw her go with Rakesh."

"Ohh.." was I managed to say but my inside was burning like a flame. Why did she go with him after suspecting him as Heil.

This girl!!!

I walked out of the hall and went to the parking area to pick my Scooty but there I heard some strange noises that gave me goosebumps all over my body.

What it would be. The sound like two hungry animals were fighting for dominance.

Cautiously, I took two slow steps towards that noise and witnessed that Rakesh and Emiem were kissing, hungrily. I don't know whether to be happy nor sad. Why him? Of all people why him? How the hell he got that syringe?

Not wanting to reveal myself there I turned my back and headed back to my cabin. The only source I have with mine is "The Hidden Secrets" and I have read it many times but couldn't able to find any new things as some of the words in the pages 14 and 15 were blur as someone caused this purposely.

Would it be Heil? If it had Heil he wouldn't have allowed me to take the book from the library. He is watching over us.

I rubbed my temple and recalled some random incident that even increased the pain in the back of my head.

I badly need my coffee.

Closing the book I ran into the coffee machine and made a strong coffee. "I think Rakesh is hiding something from us. He is acting strangely for these few days." I was happened to overhear Dacy's and Chole's conversation who were busy with applying their make up but didn't see me standing there as listening to their conversation.

Sighing inwardly I sat on the chair and sipped my coffee. Why all of a sudden I'm hearing ill words about him. I buried my face in between my palms and let my eyes drop a few tears.

Even though I had noticed some strange behavior about Rakesh, I can't fully certify him as Heil. He is so natural and a caring person. He can't be Heil.

"Hey, Reil." The man who made my heart go crazy sat in front of me and shoot his normal playful grin towards me. Thank God my eyes were dried already.

"How's your life with your husband?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

I didn't answer him, instead, I sipped my coffee. "Hey, I'm talking to you." He snatched the coffee mug and to my surprise, he drank the coffee in one shoot.

"Ewww!" He acted like he is going to puke. He deserved this. I forgot to add sugar and was very overwhelmed with my inner fight I haven't felt bitterness while I sipped the coffee two times.

"When did a sugar girl started to drink her coffee without sugar?" He teased but he doesn't know how it hurt my every nerve. He is so friendly that a girl would wish to have, then why did he be Heil?

"You seem upset?!" He reached my hand but I was very fast to withdrew my hand and put it on my lap.

"It's-- its--" I bursted into tears. I can't imagine him as Heil, a huge brown monster who killed innocent lives.

"Hey..hey.. don't cry." He took me in his arms. "I think you too miss your mom." He patted my back.

I stayed in his arms for few more second before nod my head and said, "Kinda."

"I will tell Blake--" he was interrupted by a harsh voice.

"Tell me what?" His eyes were furious and in the third time that I have seen his eyes turned into grey with a yellow mint around his pupil but it was faded when he came closer to me and embraced me in his arms.

I need to consult a good doctor. As my brain was full of engulfed with Heil, I was started to see his grey eyes in my man. I shook my thoughts and looked at him intensively.

"Chill man. I tried to ease her pain." Rakesh surrendered himself. Then I noticed Blake's hand was formed in a fist ready to break Rakesh's jaw. Are they really friends?

"What he did to you. I swear if he--"

"He did nothing.. I-- I missed Fed." I expected a harsh remark from him but he kept a role on silent.

"Let's go." He grabbed my hand and partially dragged from the cafeteria.

"Now tell me what's bothering you?" He demanded once we reached his cabin. His eyes was telling me that he was serious and won't let me go until I tell him what's bothering me.

Letting out a weak sigh, I decided to frame a story that would keep me away from his possessive hand.

No way in the hell he will allow me to go near Rakesh if I tell him about his new revelation even though I have no evidence for that except that 6' syringe Emiem had given me.
