Two months passed. There were no changes. She accepted the fact that it's over forever. She cursed herself. She took the book Brandon once gave her. She read through 'Lamia' and 'Isabella' again and sat there crying. Finally, she understood why she got close with Brandon. To her, Brandon was not Brandon himself. She tried to find someone else in him. Searching for another person in him. She smiled at the very thought for being such a fool. She didn't even get to say goodbye.
"Dad I need to go somewhere." She asked Heiden.
"Where?" he asked.
"Somewhere." She didn't tell him exactly where.
"We will all come. Let's go." She couldn't deny. She then thought why not and all got ready. She put on a Blue jean and Light Blue striped shirt with frills. She put on a Grey long Woolen shrug on top and put on her black boots. She put on makeup and put her hair free. She checked her face. The scar seemed to be fading. They all got out and rode as she gave the directions. An hour later they reached the countryside. She noticed Nara constantly texting someone, thinking it would be Devon she dismissed the thought. Lots of farms and meadows on either side of the road. They took a cut road towards few houses.
They all got out to see the beautiful place they had come to. She didn't say a word and walked inside. There was a lock. She took a rock and broke the lock. She entered inside the house. It looked still the same. She walked in and stood inside. She found the shawl folded and kept in the table. The one she wore last time she visited the place. 'He must have come again' she thought. Tears filled her eyes. She walked towards the room and recalled everything that happened. Her family entered the house as well and looked around. "Really good place isn't it mom?" Nara asked Kiara.
She walked to the back door and opened them. She stepped out and stood her eyes closed. She took a deep breath and walked towards the farm. In twenty days it would be the season for cultivation and the whole place would be yellow. Her heart fluttered at the very thought. She walked further into the field. She stopped walking and looked around. Her mother, father, and Nara were all walking in different directions. Suddenly she noticed a tall figure. It was clear. She walked forward turning back. She then noticed a guy in a black and white woolen full sleeved t-shirt with black shades put on. She walked a bit closer to see who it was. She stopped. Her heart dropped dead. She began running. He stood there his arms open wide. She ran fast and jumped on him hugging, and he almost lost his balance. "Lu Han" she called him. He lifted her in his arms and rotated. She cried and tears falling down on his cheeks. He put her down. He could feel her heart pounding. "Sorry," he said and kissed her. Her family stood there watching them both. Nara took a photograph and send Devon their reunion. Edgar joined them and stood watching Lu Han and Dariya. He seemed to have brought his girl along with him and introduced everyone. And Mary stood watching everything silently with happiness, understanding how much her children had grown up.
Suddenly Dariya pulled back, panting. Without thinking she hit Lu Han. Lu Han began to run away. They ran around for some time. "How dare you disappear.?" She screamed at him. "Do you know how much pain I was.?" "Where the hell were you?" she kept questioning him as they ran around. "am sorry. I really am." "you could have at least contacted me." She cried. He took her in his arms again and kissed her to death.
"I asked Lu Han to leave. It was his joining period in Gameloft. So I sent him away." Heiden replied the answers she wanted as they sat inside the house. "Or he could have lost the job."
"Just give me two years." Lu Han asked Dariya. Tears now running down out of joy Dariya nodded and agreed. They all waited for Devon to bring food and gladly spent the time together. The life Dariya dreamt of was coming back to her, like her childhood days. She felt her brother is back to how he used to. She felt Nara being liberated from everything she was forced to be like. Her mom and dad doing what they should and Lu Han close to her.
Tough love !!!!
