At a big mansion, he walked with long strides, eyes filled with concern and his body nearly shaking with fear. He was none other than Deming. He directly walked toward a room where someone was lying on the bed, medical machineries and tubes were attached to her body & several doctors and nurses were a.s.sisting her.
When they heard the footsteps behind them, they turned their head and bowed down to greet, "Mr.w.a.n.g".
"Doctor, how is she? When will she wake up?", his voice filled with concern. His eyes showed a thick line of nervousness as if soon his soul is going to leave her.
The doctors were used to with his reactions. Though Deming portrays himself to be tough and heartless in front of everyone but after seeing him like this for 3 months, they know he is a man with heart which has concern for the girl lying on the bed, maybe more than concern.
"Mr.w.a.n.g, her situation is stable now but few hours before she got a panic attack as if her body was craving for something, something which her body can"t miss. It"s been like this for the last 3 months but today it got a little severe. Since we don"t know her exact daily appet.i.te routine, it"s a little tough for us to get the cause of her panic attacks. According to her maid, she always had healthy food diet, but her body denies that fact", the doctor said with a serious tone.
Deming nodded to them and signaled them to leave them alone. The doctors left the room and close the door behind them.
Deming fixated his gaze which held care , concern and love on the girl lying on the bed. He slowly walked to the side of the bed and cautiously laid beside her.
His eyes were still fixated on her, he gently caressed her cheeks and then combed her hair smooth with his fingers, "Jie...O my Jie, You know that I don"t have patience. Don"t try my patience now. Just wake up quickly. I am missing your tantrums. Just wake up. I want to hear your voice. Your brother Ming misses you. I love you, my love".
"Why I wasn"t here when you got involved in that accident? It"s all my fault, that I was not there for you", he said while gently holding her hands.
He closes his eyes to reminisce his memories with her. A 14 year boy was sitting near tombs of his parents, blankly staring as if he has lost all his hopes after their death. The ones, his parents had trusted were ready to backstab him for their profits. He was feeling alone in this overpopulated world. He can feel darkness engulfing his from every sides.
At that time, a soft giggling took his attention. He turned to look at the direction where a girl was standing and chattering in front of a tomb. She was a 10 year old sweet girl, whose a simple giggle can multiply her cuteness into hundreds.
When she saw that him staring her, she gave a sweet smile and ran towards him. It was like a ray of light coming towards him tearing apart the darkness around him. He doesn"t knew when and how but after getting a single glance from her, a small smile captured his lips.
"What happened to you? Why are you so sad? Are you too missing them?"she said softly. Her
dark black eyes were fixed on him as she was trying to figure out something from his expressions.
When he saw her intent gazes on him, she avoided her eye contact. He said in a stern voice, "Why are you talking to me? Don"t you know you shouldn"t talk to strangers".
"Yeah, I know we shouldn"t talk to bad strangers but I don"t think you are bad. You are not bad, you are so handsome", she said innocently.
"What makes you think that I am not bad?", he looked at her dangerously. He wanted to scare her away but the next second his heart melted when he felt her soft hands wrapped around him.
"I know you are not bad, because your eyes says it all. I know when you said that we shouldn"t talk to strangers, you were concerned for me", she said while looking at his eyes.
They talked with each other when he came to know that she also visited her parent"s tomb like him. Her talks made him relax and time he spent with were the best time in his entire week. When she was leaving he asked her, "What"s your name? You haven"t told me yet"
"I won"t tell you now. When we will meet next time, I will tell you then", she replied sheepishly.
After that they often met on weekends, when he went to visit his parents and she too visited her parent"s tomb but she never told him her name.
And he too never forced her. One day he told her that he will be leaving abroad for studying and won"t come to visit here anymore. She cried hard and he felt his heart pinching, when he saw her sobbing for him. He gently cupped his cheeks, "It"s okay. Don"t cry. I will return for you. Wait for me".
He tried to calm her down but it doesnot have enough effect on her. She cried hard hugging him tightly, until his s.h.i.+rt was all wet.
She lifted her head, her eyes were full of tears, "When will you return? You will leave me alone. What if you get some friend more cute than me, will you forget me?". She was still sobbing.
Listening to her a chuckle left from his mouth, "My little girl, there is nothing like that. How can I forget such a cute girl. You are like more like a wife to me whom I will marry once I grow up. You already acting like my wife, crying for me and always caring for me".
Hearing this she wiped off her tears and her eyes glowed with curiosity, "Brother Ming, What is wife? How would I become your wife?"
"Don"t worry, my little girl. You will be a dutiful wife. You will cook for me, love me, care for me and will manage the household and I will love you , care fore you and earn for you. When I will return, I will officially marry you. I promise. So wait for me. Don"t cry anymore ", Deming said, running his fingers in her soft hazel brown hair.
Soon it was dawn, it was time to part. Both were feeling heavy hearted. They went to their respective cars. When she was about to get into her car, Deming yelled, "Little girl, will you not tell me your name?"
"Brother Ming, wait for the day you return. I will wait for you to find me or else I will find you", with that she got into the car and left.
When Deming returned after 10 years, he tried to find her everywhere, but he failed in all his attempts. He even visited her parents tomb to find their names but to his surprise it didn"t mentioned any official names. The tombs were carved with their love names which the couple might have given to each other.
He tried all the ways but he didn"t got any information regarding her as if she was intentionally hiding from him. At last he lost all his hopes, when one day he received a call which claimed that she was the girl he missed for years.
Though when he met her, he didn"t got any sense of familiarity with her. She introduced herself as Long Jie, the heiress of Long empire. He thought that maybe it was because he hasn"t met her for years.
After spending some time with her, they got familiar again but their bond wasn"t as strong as before, there was something missing. He thought that it would get filled with pa.s.sing time but again he again has to leave for Berlin for the land deal. It was important because that land was the dream of his mother.
He left for Berlin. After 3 months, when he was about to return back and was on flight back, he called Jie, where he came to know that something happened to her which made her extremely sad and she was crying. She refused to meet him and on that that she got into an accident.
When he investigated that things happened that day, he doesn"t get the actual scenario but thing which was known for sure was that, the accident was all because of Lifen.
He opened his eyes and his eyes were dark, "Lifen, I won"t let you escape that easily. You will have to pay".
