Universal Secret : PART 1 [HIDDEN TRUTH] {COMPLETED} ✔

(CHAPTER 21) On Pins And Needles📌📌

Glancing at Bell's sad face, Valentina could not contain herself. She was a little hurt seeing her lovely daughter in a dull mood. Although, she knew the reason behind it. Earlier also Dom left them many time due to some work, she was not like this before?
And never she holds some secret from her. This means something is up!

With slow steps, Valentina approached the aloof girl who was seated beside her bedroom window. She was lost in deep thoughts and watched at the natural beauty with dangling legs. Small flicks moved to and fro with wind, trying to tickle her but she remained unaffected.

A pat on her shoulder shook up from reverie, she looked up. The once sparkling blue orbs had became weary and lifeless. This pained Valentina, her heart shattered looking at Bell's condition.

Sensing the dullness on her mother's face; Bell voiced her thoughts, "Mom are you hurt because of me?"
She whispered in a raspy tone. Val regained herself and sighed.

She has to be strong when Bell is weak. How much she needs someone, her eyes yearned for love. And yet there was a seriousness around her from morning.

"You are my little princess, Bell. I can never be hurt by your words but your silence hurts me. Doll, you are my lifeline. Your smile lightens my worries, all my problems fade away as I know my daughter is always with me. Seeing the apple of your eye gloomy breaks my heart. Look at yourself, you didn't even had anything from morning. What's concerning you? Is your mother that old, that you aren't even sharing your worries with me?"
Valentina whispered, kissing her forehead lovingly.

This triggered Bell, she broke out in front of Val. Big fat tears filled her eyes. Valentina cleaned her face.
"Come on, we will talk here."
She maneuvered Bell towards bed. Bell placed her head in Val's lap and her fingers massaged Bell's throbbing temple.

Closing her blue eyes, Bell recounted the past events. She narrated Dom's story, about his parents, planet and at the end she stopped.

Valentina looked at her expectantly, this was something important. As, Bell wasn't looking at her. And her cheeks had turned pink with hesitation and nervousness. She was fidgeting with her fingers.

Valentina's soft voice strengthened her, "Bell, spill the beans. Are you afraid of your friend? Know this; before being a mother, I'm a friend to you. So, don't be shy from me."

Nodding her head, Bell detailed everything. From Dom's beautiful words to how he proposed her. This sparked Val's interest, she was already expecting this. She smiled at Bell, who had a sheepish smile on her face with rosy tint beautifying her features.

"What did you say, then?" Asked Val curiously. Bell was baffled, she gaped at her mother. Literally, she was more than her friend!
She whispered lowly, "How can I respond to him without asking you? I was waiting for right time to tell you but you were busy always. What if he left me?
Then, what will I do?"

Valentina laughed at her question, which surprised Bell. "Listen, Dom is a good man. I believe him; although, he is from a dangerous planet. But his heart is pure, he loves you. I have seen his interest in you and he is not a playboy. He will not break your heart. From my side it's approved. You can answer him today if you want."

Bell inquired again, "What about dad, does he like him?"
"Aah, you're thinking about Peter. He is already head over heels on him. He had made him son and trusts him." Valentina calmed her mind.

"But I don't know why, I'm having a negative feeling today. Both, dad and Dom are out. Maybe, they are in danger. I'm feeling uneasy, Mom." Bell had worry written all over on her face.

Even Valentina wasn't feeling well. She also felt the same and added. "I agree, I'm also not getting a good vibe out of this. That's why, I came to talk to you. Peter can be in some trouble. But what can we do, Han? Let's sit in the garden, we will feel better there. Our mind would be refreshed."

Bell bobbed her head and both of them headed to the main gate. A feeble knock on the door alarmed them. With furiously beating heart and trembling hands, Valentina opened the door covering Bell behind her.

What she saw, dazed both of them. Dom and Peter were lying on the ground, fully covered in blood. Peter had blood all over his face while Dom's hands were bleeding and his face had deep slashes.

A sharp cry left from both the women's mouth. They were beyond shocked!

Instincts are always right,
Bring sorrows while sometimes delight.

Connections are strings of heart,
Enjoin the lovers never breaking them apart.

When you are in pain,
My heart withers in vain.

Even with tears filled in despair,
I'll turn our love in a solitaire.

Let it not be the end,
Our love story must ascend.
