Let's go!
CHAPTER-8: Let her come back Ozuma!
Japan
Around Saint Shields' village
"We aren't too far away from our home, but still we need to pick up a taxi and go," said a tall dark toned guy.
"Hmm… but it's almost 12:00 a.m. We can't expect taxis around our village," said a muscular guy.
"Hmph! That driver was so greedy! He was charging a lot! So we need to get down half-way through and walk the remaining distance! I am sick of this world!" whined the taller one.
"Okay, cool down. I think we both should walk again."
"What!? Walk again!? Huh… Joseph and Mariam were lucky! Their aunt drove them home!"
"Stop yelling Dunga! Just zip up your mouth!"
Dunga sighed and proceeded to walk.
"Yes! Good kid!"
" 'Am not a kid!"
"Hmmm…"
As they walk…..
"I am feeling so sleepy Ozuma. And, by the way, let's inform Joseph and Mariam that we reached here," said the taller guy.
"No need. They both would have been fast asleep by now," said Ozuma.
The taller guy smiled and thought,
"Hmm…. He has calmed down a bit. I know that you aren't angry with her Ozuma. I know that. I know that you like her."
Next day
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Hiranandani hospital
The scarlet opened her eyes in a sudden thud. She sat upright and exclaimed, "Where am I? H-H-How did I end up here?"
Closing her eyes and keeping her index finger on her right temple, she recollected something. She got out as fast as the speed of a thunderbolt.
"Yes! Kane and I helped a kid but, after Kane went to fetch water, that guy attacked me. Then, few of his fellows too came. They wounded me up and, I almost died! But, who saved me?"
Then, she tilted her head to her right side. She saw a blunette who was fast asleep lying horizontally on the sofa. He was covered by a shawl on his trunk and arms. She said as she smiled weakly, "Thank you Kane…"
"Poor Guy… he is very tired."
Then, the blunette hearing her murmurs, woke up. He stretched his hands, rubbed his eyes and looked up. He smiled in astonishment after looking at the girl on the bed.
"Salima!" exclaimed the blunette and approached her for an embrace.
"Kane!" exclaimed the scarlet and hugged him back.
After they separated, their lips curved upwards. Their orbs linked like the ocean meets the night sky.
"Salima! You were bleeding heavily! I think I should have been more alert! I am extremely sorry Sal!"
"It's okay Kane! You saved me today! I am glad that you saved my life today. I feel so proud of it."
"Hmm…. Hopefully you are alright soon Sal. By the way, I wanted to tell you who all were the ones who were behind this."
"Say what?"
Then, the blunette explained everything to her, mentioning about Mariah's guardians.
"But, how come you know that they were Mariah's-"
"It seems that Zeo told everything to your mom. And she told me last night here. Both our mothers were here yesterday, leaving their meetings half-way through."
"Hnn…. But it's not Mariah's fault either, right?"
"Yes, she is not behind this. The guardians themselves are held responsible. You don't worry. Nothing will happen to Mariah and Ray."
After explaining everything to his red-head companion, he again embraced her. She too paid back the same embrace.
Japan
Saint Shields' village
It was around late morning. The women and young teenage girls were busy fetching water from the river and the well. The teenage boys and young men were carrying logs for fire. Some men were bathing in the river and parents were bringing their young toddlers right there. Few girls were playing games at one side and few boys in the other end. The breeze added a cooling atmosphere, enabling the leaves of the trees to dance with it.
A grey-haired young teen with red fringes was walking on the muddy aisle, looking fresher. He finished his bathing and morning meal. He turned to look at the young teenage girls fetching water and the ones who were playing.
"I see each and every girl in our village, but not her."
"Anyways! It's her mistake! How dare she'd hurt an innocent girl!? But still, she didn't know the reason. If Kane had told them the reason, she would have not did something like this. But, according to the article of the NGO's….. Urgh! I didn't have enough breakfast! Let me have some more and come!"
"Too many thoughts….. Bad outlooks in this sick world… Wait…. Am I sick of this world or the world is sick of humans' misdeeds? I am sick too. Then, am I the world? Urgh! Where on this earth I am talking like this?! I need to go to mental hospital first!"
He let out a huge sigh and walked home.
Mumbai Police, India
There were a panel of cops sitting together, discussing about Salima's attack. Earlier, they went to meet both Kane and Salima as well as their mothers. They began their discussion after visiting them.
Note: They know each and everything about the attack (everything in detail)
"Hmm…. This seems so confusing. We have got a tricky case," said a cop.
"Hmm… Mr. and Mrs. Ibrahim's daughter was attacked just the last night. But Ms. Natsumi says that she is doubtful whether her nephew Zeo told her the truth or not. We need to confirm whether it was Ms. Mariah's guardians who attacked Ms. Salima. We aren't sure yet," said another
"Yes, but we need Ms. Mariah and her family for further enquiry," said another.
"Guardians are still prevalent in rural areas and villages. So, what Mr. Zeo told his aunt can be right. China too knows about this case. They said that they will send the Wong Family in a few days," said the chief.
"Hnn… but sir. But it seems that Wong's family don't know where their guardians are. It seems they too don't know about their location either. So, how can we track their location?"
The Chief let out a huge sigh and began, "A nice question. Do you all remember one of the trickiest cases in the world?"
The cops looked at each other for some time, seeking for an answer.
"Sir, there are a lot of tricky cases in the world."
"Hmm…. Have you all heard about the Kira case?"
Their eyes widened after the chief told the word, "Kira".
"Yes sir."
"Hmm…. So the best person who will track the location of the guardians in L ….. I mean Near."
Note: Refer Kira case from "Death Note" for clarity if you have not watched that anime.
Afternoon
Japan
Saint Shields' Village
The gray haired young teen was tired after toiling the whole day.
He rested himself on the meadow which was a few meters away from the field.
"Hmm, if she was here, she would have given me some water to drink, but I just feel thirsty because she is not there to give me. Oh god, she is such a beautiful virgin. She is born with such a beauty. Her skin is as fair as that of the cow's milk! Her hair is always floating like the waves of an ocean! Her emerald eyes are more natural than that of the emerald stone! How can I fire her? More than that, she consoles us, cares for us like a mother and she entertains us when we all are fed up!
Even the aesthetic appearance of this village can never beat her beauty! Oh, Mariam, wish you could come back."
Japan
Aunt Kate's house
"What's wrong with you Mariam? Shifting here and there?" asked Aunt Kate.
"I should… I didn't even apologize to her…. I should go and speak to Salima in front of her. This Mariam will never forget the basic courtesies!" exclaimed Mariam.
"Have you booked the tickets for India?"
"Yes. Look," said Mariam as she showed her phone, displaying two tickets for Joseph and Mariam.
"Hmm… when are you going to leave?"
"The day after."
"Okay, careful then."
"I'll take care."
Next day
Maharashtra, India
Mr. Ibrahim's Mansion in Mumbai
Everything was white in color. The scarlet's 3/4th pant and her shirt, the paint on the wall, the curtains but the furniture was brown, carved out of rosewood. The light were off for the natural sunlight to enter through the glass windows.
The scarlet haired was resting herself on the bed. Then, her blunette companion enters the room. The red-head sat upright.
"Kane, are you alright? Yesterday your mom told me that you were so sad. She too told that you didn't eat properly," said the scarlet as she held his left hand.
Kane clasped her fingers and said, "I am the one who is supposed to ask this question Salima. How were you yesterday? Sorry, I didn't get any time to meet you yesterday."
"No problem Kane."
Then, the blunette helped the red head to move a bit. He sat very close to her and felt her thighs, stretching his legs. They both rested themselves on headboard slat, sitting upright.
He looked at her wounded figure. Dressings on her forehead, on her arms and some on her legs.
"Goki and Jim called me up. Did they call you?"
"Yeah, they did Salima."
Then, the Scarlet rested her head gently on Kane's chest. He wrapped his arms around her for an embrace. He felt her arms and spine. They gently shut their eyelids.
"The beats of your heart make me feel calm," confessed Salima
"Really?" asked Kane.
"Yeah, it is filled with love and emotion, and with need too."
"Does it pain when I embrace you?"
"No, not at all. But, all I can feel is that my pain has come down."
"Is it?"
"Yes, I always want you by my side."
Then, Kane pulled her more close to his chest.
"You are too pretty to even need the basic grooming dear. I love you Salima."
"I love you Kane. But, understand that my beauty is not worth your charm. I should be a hundred times better than myself to reach you Kane."
"No Salima. You be yourself. Your Kane is not expecting anything more than that. You are my priceless possession. I just can't bear to live without you," said Kane as he caressed her soft silky hair.
"I love you too, Salima."
The duo slept in that position.
Evening
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
Journalist Alia from Mumbai times reporting
Near, the white haired man enters with the cops who all worked in the Kira case, including Touta Matsuda with his wife Sayu and their son Soichiro (named after Sayu's father). Alia approaches Near.
"Mr. L, India is waiting to see you. More than that, we all are excited to know how you are going to deal with this case."
"Everything will be discussed later, dear mam. For now, we aren't willing to tell anything to the audience," replied the white-haired man.
Alia moves away from him and faces the camera, "It seems that furthermore, things will not be revealed for now. So, let's see how he is going to deal with the attacks of Ms. Salima from Japan and Ms. Soumya from Tamil Nadu."
Headlines from Mumbai times
"Ms. Soumya Krishnan from India and Ms. Salima from Japan were attacked by Chinese men at Chennai and Mumbai respectively. Mr.L will further investigate on this case."
Japan
Saint Shields' village
"Hey Ozuma! Why didn't you book tickets for me!?" asked Dunga.
"Dunga…. A person can't have more than a ticket. Aah! For you it's tickets! You need more tickets! Because one will never be enough for you!" mocked Ozuma.
Yes. Influence of the blunette girl.
"Just a grammatical error Ozuma! You mock like Mariam! Even like Joseph!"
"There are not tickets left out. Everything is full. I just had one."
"OZUMA!"
"I want to meet Mariam and get her back! If I send you, you both will end up fighting! So, I have decided to go."
"Mariam, I'll bring you back."
How was it? Quiet short, I know. Think you all are a bit eager.
I didn't check if there are any typing errors, so pardon me if there are any spelling, grammatical or typing errors :|
See you all later! :P
If possible, soon :)
Because I just have one day of holiday T_T
I'll go to 12th grade then.
Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
