Cynthia’s P.O.V.
I was sitting in my clinic and was waiting for Nancy. She told me that Anaira is better than before but still unconscious. It was almost 3 weeks since we found them. My grand-daughter was better now but she still needed intensive care. She regained her consciousness but still not able to wake up for long. I met her once. She was just like small Anaira. Same hair texture, same eyes. It was really hard to leave her there alone.
I stood up from my seat and went towards the window. I stood up at the window and looked outside.
It was about lunchtime. My clinic was on one of the busiest streets in the city. There was a storm of people out there. Everyone is in a hurry. There all are busy in their lives with their own worries.
Suddenly a person standing at the corner of the street talking on his phone attracted my attention. He was casually standing there. But there was something odd about him. He was glancing frequently in my direction. Alex’s words started ringing in my mind. I remembered that I had seen him before. Then I struck my mind. I saw him 2 days before also at the same place.
I immediately pulled out my phone and took his pic between the folds. I looked at the picture. His face was not so much clear but he was looking straight at me. My suspicion was right. He was watching my clinic.
I immediately dialed Nancy’s numbers. “Nancy.. don’t come here. Someone is watching me”, I told her and she immediately changed her way to another side. She was just 2 blocks away from my clinic.
“Ma’am… where is he standing”, she asked me and I told her about his location. She asked me to watch him without disconnecting the phone.
I saw her coming from behind that man. He was now standing straight while talking … or… pretending to be talking on the phone. She crossed him without looking at him but lowered down her hand with the phone. She crossed the road and went in the opposite direction.
“Ma’am… I sent you his clear photo. Send it to Alex Sir. I am going back home now so that if anyone doubted me or try to follow me then he didn’t get their location”, she told me and I looked at the screen with notification of receiving an image. As a precaution, Alex had bought a new phone and a new sim card for both me and him. These numbers are with only Ryan, Nancy, Austin, and Ryan’s brother Danny.
I cut her call and dialed Alex’s number.
“I am sending you a pic of a man who is watching my clinic for the last 3-4 days I think. I have noticed him today”, I told him and he asked me to be aware and alert. I cut the call and inhaled sharply while looking outside. Due to window folds, he couldn’t see me standing at the window.
Alex had arranged someone 2 weeks before who checked the complete clinic for any kind of spy device. He found none but I installed CCTV system and every day in the morning and in the evening before going back home, I checked the whole day's activity regularly.
Back home, we found spy cameras almost outside every room and in every other place of the house. I was shocked. But it confirmed the possibility that someone who is very close to us is involved in this. It was really hard to handle Alex at that time.
I went back to my seat and drowned in my thoughts.
Alex’s P.O.V.
I sent the photo Mom sent to me to Neil Gilbert. He was a private investigator and an old friend of Anaira’s father. It was he who suggested a complete check of the whole house and the result shocked me to my core. He did everything carefully so that whoever was the person behind all these would not get suspicious about our activity. He didn’t remove any spy device just to make him careless for the time being.
Mom and I decided to discuss anything about them only through the new numbers I purchased for both of us. As there was no bug inside our room, so our rooms were the safe places where we could talk anything about them.
I leaned back on my chair. I was sitting in my office when mom called me about that stalker. Old memories of us were floating in front of my eyes. The first day, when we met in the corridor. It was really a funny incident. I, John, and Matthew were going towards the boy’s changing room after our 2 hrs practice of football in the morning when I bumped into her.
Flashback:-
“God… it was extremely hot man… I need to take a cold shower right now”, Matthew was making face and flickering his t shirt. He was such a drama queen. Both I and John looked at him and laughed.
“Let’s have a race till shower. What’s say?”, I looked at both of them and winked while removing my t shirt.
And without giving any signal to each other, we started running towards the changing room. I was faster than them.
“Hey turtles….”, I shouted while looking towards them in backward direction. “Pace up man”, I shouted again and suddenly I hit someone.
“Ahhhhhhhh”, she shouted and all her books fell down from her hand.
I lost my balance and almost fell on the person who bumped with me. She tried to grab something to avoid falling on the ground but didn’t get anything and held my shoulders at last and I held her from her waist just to lessen the impact of hitting the ground.
We both fell down and I tried to minimize the hit by putting my free hand on the ground.
She hit the ground having me on the top of her.
“Ahhhhhhhh”, she screamed again when her head hit the ground hard. Her eyes were closed. Her hairs scattered all over her face.
She squeezed my shoulders due to pain. My eyes glued on her face. She was in pain but she was so beautiful. John and Matthew came and stood up beside me but it looked like time has stopped.
She opened her eyes and I saw the world’s most beautiful emerald eyes. Her plump pink lips were so kissable. Her lips were moving and I wanted to grab them in my lips.
“You jerk…… get off from me”, she shouted again and I came out of my trance.
“Huh”, I said dumbfounded . “Get off from me”, she shouted again and then I realized that I was lying on her.
“Oh”, I apologetically said and then stood up from her. I held her from her arms and helped her in standing up. She dusted off her dress and then looked at me angrily. She pressed her back of head. I realized then that her head hit the ground hardly that time.
I immediately took her head in my hands and pressed gently. She immediately jerked my hands off.
“What are you….. 5????? Running like a monkey in the corridor without looking anywhere”, she shouted at me and I drooled over her. Her lips were so plumps and pink….
“Arrrhhhhhh….. are you insane…. Can’t you hear me????”, she shouted again and Matthew shook my shoulder.
She stomped her feet and move forward while shooting daggers on me. John collected her books and passed her that she snatched from him harshly.
I was just staring at her like a love sick puppy…
