Bab 27: Who says men can't cry?

Around afternoon Del gained consciousness but was listless. His eyes were losing focus and from time to time he was muttering. "No…don't...stop….NO…—-" in a low voice.

'As I had thought he got a trauma. How am I gonna help him?' I am irritated.

With no option, I called Ray, asked him to replace Pri, and called Pri to be back. Maybe he could help some.

When Pri saw his spiritless leader he was heartbroken and cried a lot by hugging Del. Who says men can't cry? Don't they feel pain too? They are also human.

Maybe because Pri spent his time with Del he was a little lucid after some days. He will be better soon as time heals all. But will he be able to live peacefully and without regret? It's hard to say.

A week has passed by. Today Nia and Ray will be coming back. I hope she will be fine. I have some questions that only she could answer. I need to find each and every clue to find the bigger secret. I was wondering about what I should do next, I got a notification on my phone. I opened it and read.

"Hello B, it's Ray. We won't be back today. The master asked to let Nia stay for three more days. She is now lucid but if she stays she will be better. What should I do?"

"Both of you stay," I replied.

How much time I should stay in Weery City is unknown. I have to speed up my journey. To find out about the antidote group, anonymous email, the one who helped to be in the pine forest, and some other personal stuff, I need to go to Belovgad, the Capital City. I have one promise left to fulfill as I have promised Rit. But to do so I need Del to get better.

It's like I can't hurry and wait patiently.

In the evening after lunch, Pri knocked on my door.

"Any problem, Pri?"

"No, not much. Del is better now and he wants to speak with you."

"Okay, let's go."

We both entered Del's room. I dragged a chair near Del's bed and sat. Pri helped Del to sit comfortably on the bed and poured some water for Del.

Del: "Pri you roam around the city. I want to have a private chat with Miss B."

Pri: "Sure sir."

He closed the door before leaving. I was observing Del closely and waiting for him to start the conversation.

Coughing lightly.."Uhmm…should I call you B or Biva?"

"Anything is fine."

"Oh, my dear Biva…how have you been? I was sure nothing happened to you. In any case, you will keep yourself alive. I couldn't save Rit and someone conspired to her murder." His eyes were teary.

"Before we talk about anything I would like to take you somewhere. Cover your face not to let other recognize you and sit in a wheelchair. I will bring you there."

"Okay"

I brought him to the port. When he saw the scene before different emotions were gathered within him. He stopped himself and asked me to take him back. Even if he couldn't know what exactly happened he could see the existence of Wega had vanished.

I thought Del would ask me about Wega but he was silent back at the house.

Del: " Biva let's talk tomorrow I want to sort my thoughts now."

"Sure. See you tomorrow."

Maybe he won't sleep the whole night. If I were in his place I couldn't too. Wega was Del's blood and sweat and he cared for Wega as his child. People may think Wega was developed because of the Virtue Group but NO...only the insider knows it was the result of the sacrifice of youth, blood, sleep, and hunger of those old vice leaders and Del was the head of those.

Maybe some of you are thinking I shouldn't have taken him to the port. I beg to differ. He should and has the right to know about Wega. He must face the cruel truth. How long can I hide, it won't be hidden forever.

The next morning I went to Del's room. The door was unlocked and he was looking out of the window toward the sky. Was he anticipating my arrival?

"You arrived, Biva. I have sent Pri to deliver a message to someone. Let's talk."

"Ohh…"

"You never try to initiate conversation, so boring Biva. Then let me ask you, do you have a hand in the destruction of Wega?"

"Why only be a hand? I solely destroyed it."

"WHAT? That was my blood, sweat, tears, my whole life...just why..? Are you a psychopath, Biva?"

"Maybe I am psycho, I do accept. Before giving you the answer, let me ask you why you need Wega?"

"I have sacrificed a lot of things for it. It's part of me."

"And if you are dead then is Wega still important for you?.....No one respects you for your sacrifice. When you are in desperate need of help, did anyone in Wega help you? And the motto of Wega…Hahh....no one follows it. Wega has just been the power source for Virtue Group and Ashpor but they won't reciprocate in the time of need. Then what's the need of Wega?"

He was quiet as he couldn't refuse my answer.

"Del let me tell you I have given a chance for Wega to survive if they don't cross their limit to hurt you and your team. But they challenged my inner demon. As I had promised myself I would save you for being my leader all three years but I am not obligated to keep Wega existing." I told him briefly about the incident on new year's celebration day, the plans of the opponent, and Eva's group interference on issues of Wega.

"I can understand your thought process but to accept it's difficult for me."

"Take your time to accept the harsh truth. Ooho….tell me about Rit and the rumor of you killing your subordinate. Del, do you know anything before Rit got the poison?"

"I don't have to say anything about Rit before your departure from Wega, as you already know. As you left I always thought someone was spying on me, my team, and mostly on Rit and Riz. I tried to be careful but someone will always interfere in my matters and I couldn't only focus on Rit's treatment. After a few days, someone came to the office to inform me of Rit's death. I looked closely at her dead body and could see signs of struggling but the autopsy said her situation worsen and heart attack—"

"In the evening the doctor came to look for me and gave another autopsy report. Then I knew someone had already infiltrated Wega. I couldn't save Rit but had to save Riz…..so was the rumor created "

"Then Del where is he? Tell me the whole story."

"B, listen to whatever I say you first."
