Writing the Death

"Chapter 6" A woman lived beside the kindest door

" Don't worry, I must feel safe at my neighbor's house," Aria said.

" Neighbors! Who are they?" Bryon asks and Aria comes out with them, she shows him the way to Ben's house.

She rang the bell, and no one opened it.

"Aria they are sleeping", Bryon said and Aria looked at the door, she nodded to him, and turned her steps, All of a sudden the door opened, and Ben came out with drowsy eyes.

" Hey, Aria, Girl what are you doing here at this hour of the night?" Ben asks.

" I am.... I am not fine", Aria cracked into tears and went into his house.

" What happened?" Ben asks Bryon, as he knows him as the famous detective who is handling the case of a woman's murder in Portland, Oregon.

"Hello, I am....," Bryon tries to introduce himself, and Ben cuts him off.

"Yes, I know you, detective this is shocking to see you here, and what happens to her? Is she fine?" Ben asks with a worried expression. He forwards his hand and they share a nice shake.

"Yes, she is fine, but there is some sort of bad incident with her, someone tries to assault her, her car has some evidence, and we are considering it as ripperrrr's doing," Bryon explained.

" What?" Ben gives him a concerned look.

She said she would feel safe here, and take care of her, Bryon said.

"Don't worry, she will be fine here completely", Ben said Aria was standing at the door, facing down absorbed in her thoughts.

" Aria, take care, I will be back soon," Bryon said, and she nods.

"Go, I will be fine here," Aria sees him off, and Ben closes the door, she gasps and closes her eyes, her house was giving her the horrifying look that is the reason she walked to Ben's home. Grandma and Ben are so close to her and she will feel so safe here.

Bryon sat in the car, while Carl was smiling sitting in the driver's seat.

" What's your problem? We have a serious job to do," Bryon asks him.

" Yeah, I know I was just thinking that if you have such strong feelings about her then why don't you collect some courage and talk to her, "

" She had forgotten most of the incidents gone through her life, she forgot you, and trust me you are the one who can bring her memory back", Carl said.

"Do you know what happened to her? If we tried then we could lose her, That was God's forgiveness that she forgot everything, Carl I know this is hard but this is right, You don't know what I have just done to her, and thank God she had forgotten everything," Bryon said.

"I can understand, but do you have any validation that she will never remember anything again?" Carl replied and started the car.

" I don't know, but it's okay how it's going," Bryon replied.

"Let's get a part, and listen to me, we have to go somewhere fast", Bryon said.

"And where?" Carl ask.

" Do you remember the last tape we got?" Bryon said.

" Yes, I do," Carl replied.

" Did you remember what he was focussing on in his poetry?" Bryon said and Carl got confused.

" Walking down of street I am full of pain,

With a book in my hand, I don't know where to go,

There is a deep hole in the sideway,

There lived a woman, beside the kindest door."

" Don't you get it?" Bryon asks.

"Sir please can you make it clear for me," Cark said.

" Drive to street 13 Broadway," Bryon said and He drove.

"What does that mean?" Carl was so curious to know.

"Street 13 is the street where a school for orphans is located," Bryon said.

"So how does it link?" Cark asks.

" This orphanage is considered to be a most painful place, the owner of that orphanage Sister Mary Jane find children in some garbage containers and all of them are newborn, she is an angel in a woman, she had opened her doors to those parents who don't want there Children,"

"And no matter how bad is a condition of children there is some magic in her hands she takes care of them, gives them an environment to groom up and get an education,"

"She had open school for poor children where education is free, and this is a place where you go along with books,"

"This street is full of pain, because of the miserable stories of unwanted children, and there is a school inside the orphanage, "

" Inside the orphanage, this school is not built in front of the road, it's just hidden inside Mary Jane's house, That's why people who see children coming from her house got stunned because they don't see any school board,"

"Not only that, in her Street on the sideway of her house there is a big hole because of some construction, I saw her requesting people to make it right,"

"She gave her complaint application to me, and I said I will do it, but I forgot," Bryon tells him, and Carl was stunned.

" You are just a mastermind, Don't worry we will be there, Carl drives faster.

Aria was sitting on the couch. Ben gave her water, and she sipped slowly from it.

"Aria, I told you to let me know whenever you get free from your job, If something happened to you then who will be responsible?" Ben asks, but she was facing down to the ground.

"Hey, look at me," Ben said and pulled her face up.

"Are you okay?" He asks and she nods.

" I..... I don't want to remember anything," Aria said as she took her head to Ben's thigh.

" Hey, it's okay, you know you are safe with me," Ben sits with her.

" Yeah, I know that's why I came here, it feels safe with you", Aria said.

" Don't worry, just remember this is your home, because of your grandma is getting better, you are an angel to me," Ben said and gave her a soft side hug.

She was thinking of something and Ben finally asked her.

"What is troubling you?" He said.

" I don't remember anything of my past, I don't remember a single thing of my previous events, it sucks sometimes," Aria said.

" I told you many times, just forget your past and move on," Ben said.

" How can I forget something which is already forgotten?"

"You know every day and night I struggle to find out what happened to my parents, but I can't, it's like everything is just deleted", Aria said.

" Okay get your mood better, tell me about your new story?" Ben changed her mood instantly.

"What story, you know I can't post a single chapter of mine story, the system is getting into trouble", Aria rolled her eyes in resentment.

" What how can it be possible?" Ben pouted.

" Don't show me this pout, I don't know but that platform is giving instructions to sign up for a contract," Aria tells him.

"So what's wrong with that? Go for it," Ben said.

" You are not understanding, I don't want to do this, if I sign that contract then I have to give my identification and every single thing of my validation to them you know I don't want anyone to know about my identification, no one to talk me about my stories, just you are allowed," Aria said.

" But if you don't then you can't fulfill your dream, you know you got many readers, and you are doing happy with this", Ben remembers her.

"Yes, I know but I was thinking to quit it, this is enough," Aria said.

"Hey, don't say that just follow your heart, follow your dream, how would it imagine to like you are hugging your profession, but your passion is standing away from you, having tears in his eyes, and you have to just pretend you are happy but inside you are getting apart," Ben said and make her think again.

" You can sleep in my room, I will be comfortable here," Ben said.

" No... no, I will be comfortable here, don't do this", Aria said.

"Aria.....," Ben makes an adorable face, and she nods to yes.

" Call me whenever you need," Ben said and she stepped into his room.

Bryon and Carl reached street 13 and walked to Mary Jane's house, Bryon knocked on it, and nobody responded.

Bryon slammed the door three or four times, and then a voice come from inside.

"Coming who is here?" Jane's voice comes from inside.

" Mary Jane, I am Detective Bryon, could you please open the door for us, we need to check here," Bryon said and she opened it.

"Detective Bryon, what are you doing here? Do you come to construct this hole?" Bryon peeks forward and sees an old woman having wrinkles all over her face, holding a lamp in her hands. her face was round and freckled, and her eyes were droopy and tiny. she was a little fat, but her lips were pink and youthful.

"Goodnight Ms. Jane, no we don't come here to construct it", Bryon let out with hesitation.

" You don't come here for that," she glared and then closed the door abruptly, Bryon and Carl looked at each other and smiled.

" It's okay, she is an old woman," Bryon said and knocked again.

" I told you don't come here until you got my problem solved," she said while opening the door.

"Ms. Jane, this is important, please," Bryon peeks deep into her eyes and she lets them in.

" Come inside my children are sleeping don't make any noise," She said and they got in.

"Ms. Jane......," Carl let out and she glared at him with fully opened eyes.

"I said don't make any noise, my children are sleeping, come sit", Carl zipped up his lips and sat where Bryon was sitting.

"I am so sorry," Carl said.

*It's okay, now tell me what you want from me?" She asks.

"Ms. Jane, we are here in case of Ripper, you might know him?" Bryon asks and her jaw drops.

" What? My.....my children?" She peeks in shock.

"Don't worry, she only kills women, young women, and girls", Carl said and she breathed.

" Okay, then what will you get from here?" She asks.

" Ripper gives us a hint, in his tape which he records and left with every body of his victim, and in this tape, he tells us about that place," Bryon said.

"My place, but you know there is nothing wrong with this place, I take care of this place more than my life, this place is so delicate", Mary said.

"Yes, we know but why did he mention your place in his poetry," everyone was confused.

"Have you seen any strange or suspicious activity around you?" Carl asks.

" No, never, people around here are so good, they help me, my most of the donations start from my street",

" A couple is living in one house beside mine, and another is owned by a young girl, her name is Sofia, she started living here with her beautiful daughter, and......," Bryon heard and stopped her.

" What? What do you say, a young woman?" He asks and she nods to yes.

He gives Carl a horrifying look.

"What is it?" Carl asks.

" A woman lived beside the kindest door", Bryon recalls and Carl gets it.

"This is the door of kindness, and there lives a young woman beside it, Come run fast," they two run as fast as their feet can take them.

Bryon and Carl run out and Mary shows them the house, The night had fallen properly everywhere, Bryon lets out his gun, as well as Carl does the same.
