Kapitel 42: The box of our memories (unusual meeting) 2
DENARIUS MANSION
AD-DIN'S QUARTERS.
''Mom?!! Mom?!!'' Ad-Din Denarius removed his blazer and threw it on the sofa as the voice kept ringing in his head. The scene kept playing in his head driving him crazy. The intimate way she related with the child made him chuckle sarcastically.
She was already married with a kid and he was still hanged over her. Was that it? He hadn't expected to meet her again like that but the moment her body came in contact with his body, he knew right away that she was the one. Her voice was still the same. Her face was the same but she was now married with a kid that was not more than 8 years.
8 years ago, he was in a rush to go to the hospital when he heard about her accident and was involved in an accident himself. She never came to visit him and after he woke up he searched everywhere but couldn't find her. She was busy getting married and even now has a kid? And now, she was even back to rob it in his face?
Ad-Din Denarius felt his life was a joke on him. He looked at his leg that sometimes gave him intense psychological pain even after healing and became angry. He had been going through so much pain while she was living a good life with a husband and a kid.
Eight years, for eight years, he hadn't been able to forget of her. He hadn't been able to move on from eight years ago but she was already over that and had gotten married while he was yet to get a closure; still leaving in the past.
Ad-Din Denarius went into his bedroom and brought out a box under his bed. It was Maria's box. The same box that contained her things from eight years ago at the school. Ad-Din Denarius laughed and found himself pathetic. He was the only one still holding unto the past. He had kept the box with him for eight years hoping to give it to her one day and maybe reconcile with her but now it looked like that wasn't going to be possible anymore. She was already someone's mother and someone's wife. She already had a family of her own while he remained stuck in the past.
Ad-Din Denarius pushed the box back under the bed and stood up. He felt an intense pain and sat back on the floor. The pain came from his leg. It was already healed yet he felt pain from it time to time. He had visited a lot of doctors and they all said the same thing. It was a psychological pain that only he could get rid of but he didn't know how to let it go. He didn't know how he could help himself.
The pain became intense as he thought about the woman and the kid he saw at the airport. The pain was severe and intense for him to handle. His body became sweaty and he felt paralysed as he hissed in pain alone in the room.
The doorbell rang and he managed to move his body to where he kept his phone and used it to open the door and saw his cousin rushing in.
Calia sighed painfully the moment she saw Ad-Din Denarius in pain again. She knelt closer to him and Ad-Din Denarius pushed her body closer and hugged her as he cried trying to hold the pain in.
''Ad, I just got an appointment with a doctor who major in psychological pain in California. He is at First Hospital. Let me take you to him, okay?''
''Calia, I can't move my leg. It feels numb''. Ad-Din Denarius said pitifully, his body quivered and sweat formed on his forehead as he bit his lips.
''I know, that's why we should go and see him. He will be receiving his first patients tomorrow. I already booked an appointment in your name. Tomorrow let's go and meet him, okay?'' Calia said and Ad-Din nodded his head.
''Let me get you your painkillers for now''. Calia said and let him go before going to get a glass of water and some painkillers.
A few minutes later, Calia watched Ad-Din Denarius slowly drift into sleep and she sighed a relief. She sat on the bed and watched him for some minutes before closing the door and leaving the room.
Calia removed her phone at the hall and sat down to make a call ''hello, have you still not found her yet? Okay, please keep searching and let me know as soon as you find her. Thank you'' Calia hung up and slumped into the sofa tiredly.
For eight years, they have been searching for Miss Lee but always met a dead end. It was almost like she disappeared from the face of the earth and no longer existed. Ad-Din Denarius was still in pain and Calia hurt each time he had a relapse like today. It hurt her to watch helplessly while her cousin and best friend suffered so much. For a long time, she had booked several appointments with doctors in the hope that one of them could be able to help Ad-Din Denarius but it had proven futile. She was on the verge of giving up when she finally got a call from the hospital informing of the a new doctor and she immediately booked a schedule. She had come to share the good news only to find him in such a fragile state. It broke her heart.
Calia followed her mother's footsteps and became a jewellery designer. Her works were already accredited and appreciated by a lot of people. She had become a famous jewellery designer who often held jewellery shows alongside the clothes of Mona Lisa, her aunt. They collaborated a lot of times and it was always successful.
Calia was no longer the seventeen-year-old girl but a grown woman who had a successful career. She was proud of her own achievements.
Getting up from the sofa, Calia walked to the kitchen fridge and opened it. As expected, there wasn't a single edible thing inside apart from water and beer.
Calia removed her phone and made a call ''I will send you a list. I want you to get me everything and bring it to my brother's quarters right away''. Calia hung up and sent a few grocery list to her assistant.
Ad-Din Denarius hated eating outside. It was more like he didn't even like to eat and was a picky eater. He would never eat food from any restaurant unless it was prepared by Calia, his mother or their home chef but even with that he rarely ate at all.
His life was poured into work and nothing else. He just came from a business trip and Calia decided to check up on him after her calls when unanswered. She was worried about him and was right. He had a relapse. But, Calia wondered how it happened. He hadn't had such a strong relapse in a while now and they thought he was finally recovering but they were wrong.
Calia went back to the hall and waited for her assistant to bring her the groceries. She was going to prepare something for Ad-Din Denarius to eat when he woke up.
Ad-Din Denarius woke up an hour later and went to the hall. He saw Calia sprawled on the sofa sleeping soundly and he smiled and went back inside. He returned with a blanket and covered Calia up.
Ad-Din Denarius then went to the dining table and opened the abalone porridge that Calia made and sat down. He picked the spoon next to the bowl and tastes it. It was still hot and had a pleasant aroma to it.
Ad-Din Denarius smiled and looked at Calia before eating. He at least had someone who would never leave or betray him. He was confident she was probably the only one he could open his heart to without worrying. Calia had been his family, friend and special chef since forever. She would check up on him every night before going to her quarters and he loved the fact that she was with him through it all.
Calia heard noises and opened her eyes. She turned around and saw Ad-Din Denarius doing the dishes after eating and she walked over to him.
"Why are you doing the dishes? I could have done them later on" Calia said as she took the bowl from him and rinsed.
"You're awake? I was about to carry you to the guestroom to sleep. You must be tired. Hurry back and rest for the night" Ad-Din Denarius told her.
"Are you casting me away after using me?" Calia asked and frowned.
"No. I'm afraid you will be tired. I feel much better after sleeping and also eating your porridge. Thanks Cal"
"What thank you? We are a family, so stop saying thank you" Calia said and smiled.
"I'm so proud of you" Ad-Din Denarius said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Calia asked sceptically and Ad-Din Denarius shook his head.
"Later on. I don't feel like talking about it today" Ad-Din Denarius said.
"Alright, you know I am forever on your side, right? Whenever you want to talk, I'm a call away"
"Sure"
Calia smiled and hugged Ad-Din Denarius saying "I love this smell the best. The reassuring smell from your body"
Ad-Din Denarius chuckled and tussled her hair.
