Chapter-10
A little girl of about 3 yrs came running in her school uniform into the waiting arms of her parents. The couple and the girl sat in a car as the girl talked to her parents about her first day in school. Her soft cerulean blue were sparkling with joy.
"Mom, Dad, you know I made so many friends. One is Lika, then Kristi, Amely, Flora, Jenny..." and the girl continued to talk as they reached their mansion.

"Mom! Dad! Where are you?" a seven year girl called as she stepped in her home.
"What happened Eli?" a lady came out of the kitchen wiping her hands with a towel.
"Mom see, I got the prize for best acting." The girl said as she flashed a medal that hung down her neck.
"Oh wow... well done my princess. Your dad will be very happy to see it. Show him when he comes back." The lady said with a smile. The girl then sniffed the nose as she caught a good smell. The lady smiled when she noticed her daughter.
"I made dark chocolate pastry for you. Go change your dress, wash yourself then come. It will be ready by then." The lady ruffled her short black hair.
"Okay mom." And she dashed upstairs.

A nine year old girl was sobbing in her room. Her mother's picture was held in her hand. The picture was wet with her tears.
"Mom... why did you... leave me..." she said between her sobs looking at the picture.
A man in his late twenties came and sat beside the crying girl. Her stroke her hair to stop her weeps though his eyes were also red with tears those have dried his eyes.
The girl looked up at her father; her eyes were accumulated with hot tears. She hugged him when she saw who the person was.
"Dad... why did Mom leave us?"
"Your mom didn't leave us dear; she is still with us in our hearts." He said as he kissed the girl's forehead.
Flash...
Elena got up with a start. Her breathes were ragged as she was covered in cold sweat. She wiped her face and got down from her bed.
XxX
It was around 2 a.m. Elena was staring out of the window in the main room.
'Do all have a bad past? No, nobody suffers like me every day.' Elena thoughts were flowing freely in her mind. 'Yeah... though Kai said to me that his grandfather used to beat him when his parents were away on business trips. But when his grandfather's mental disorder was proved when he was 15. His parents then put his grandfather away from him and now he is in a hospital' then she sighed. Though Kai was beaten up, her problem was different. And Kai was introvert from birth and she used to be an extrovert.
'What I suffer, the world doesn't feel a bit of it.' She said as she gazed at the full moon in the sky. The stars surrounding it made it look elegant.
XxX
Kai was walking down the stairs to kitchen. He was not used to sleep that much but today he couldn't sleep 'coz something in him told him to wake up. He drank a glass of water and was walking back when he heard a soft melodious voice.
He walked to the other end of the main room when he saw a shadow against the window.
I've been reading books of old But she said, "Where d'you wanna go? Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss.
Just something I can turn to.
Somebody I can kiss.
I want something just like this."
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
When the song ended; he walked more closely. The shadow became substance when the moonlight revealed a figure with hair flowing in the soft breeze. The feminine figure wore a loose flowing tee and shorts. Her face was lit in the moonlight. She looked as if she was the most beautiful girl in this whole universe. Her soft blue eyes were gazing so intently at the moon that the look could even smoothen the scars on the moon. Her silky hair flew like it could heal all wounds in the world. Her soft smooth skin was tempting him to run his hand all over. But he resisted that deep urge.
Elena felt the presence of someone. When she turned her head sideways she saw Kai leaning on the wall, smirking. She felt heat radiating all over her body to her cheeks and blood accumulating in her cheeks. She felt that she was blushing furiously when she saw Kai only in his track pant. His well toned chest was bare and she could see that he was well built. She usually never noticed a guy like this, but this guy was a different one. From his weird dual toned hair to his striking amethyst eyes; all of him attracted her.
"You sing beautifully." He said as she came out of her trance.
"That song was always sung by my mom when I was small. She only taught me. She was a good singer."
"Was?"
"Yeah was. She isn't anymore or maybe she is." She said but her riddled words were difficult to make out. She felt Kai's confusion and smiled inwardly. She then continued,
"I was born in a German family. A wealthy and famous one. My father's one of the best businessman. My mother, Hannah Krause, came from a middle class family. My grandparents never approved of it. But still my parents married. We were living a happy life. I was seven when I got my first prize for best acting. My parents threw a grand party for that." Tears started to brim in her eyes as she started to reminisce the sweet moments.
"Are you okay?" Kai asked softly.
"Yeah I am. I was about nine when my mom gave birth to my younger brother. But the little baby never saw even a day of his life. My grandparents' men killed the boy. My mother became violent when she knew it. She became kind of insane and tried to kill my grandfather. My grandfather said to the police that she was insane. They took her somewhere away. Away from me..." she paused. "My father was then married to Alexandra. She also came from a rich family. But after two years of marriage, we came to know that she had a son from her previous husband. We then went to France. But after sometime she came also to live with us. When I came to Japan for my holidays, I met Julia and Rye. They supported me. After that, this year when my father was away for business most time, I decided to come and live with Jules and Rye. I always used to come here in my vacations, so I had no problem in shifting. But nightmares don't leave me."
"Where's your mom now?" Kai asked as he wiped a stray tear fell from her eye.
"I don't know... I never knew where she was sent... I don't know if she's even alive or not?" Elena said as she broke down. Kai wrapped his arms around her.
"It's okay Enna." He ran his hand through her hair to calm her down. "You mom must be really beautiful. Right?"
"Hmm..." she had calmed down but tears still made their way to slide down Kai's chest. "She was unique. She never allowed any maid to cook. She thought that we should make food for our family by ourselves. She always supported me. You know, I used to be a carefree and friendly girl. But the incident took the entire child in me away and I changed. Completely."
"You are still like than Enna. You just fear to show it."
"Hm."
"Next time sing the song with piano tunes." And the moonlight washed the beautiful pair that stood oblivious of the time. Feelings developed in them as their hearts learnt a new sense. To believe someone, to rely on someone... to love someone.
Though they couldn't make out the sweet emotion, since time was yet to play its role...
Pardon me for changing Kai's past but here Elena's past is to be more focused. So...
And I searched and found that Elena's surname should Merkel and not Markel. So I've changed it. In case you get confused;P
