For the next half an hour or so the whole place was in panic people having dinners left hurriedly, tables were being cleared the manager was on a verge of getting a panic attack. He kept apologizing coming to them every five minutes and kept requesting them to complete their dinner the bills would be taken care of. In between the whole chaos his constant nagging was starting to give him a headache.
They were seated towards far end just near the entrance, which was the only area a little clean from all the glass pieces. Rest the workers were tiding up trying being careful not to hurt themselves. No one had any idea of how it all happened
She was cleaning up his cuts being careful not to hurt him, while he was lost looking at her wounded self. Gaining some courage, he took the first aid box which was provided by the staff for which he was truly thankful for and stooped her hand from reaching him
You are hurt too love! He said holding her hands in his.
What just happened? Maan I'm so sorry for bringing you this place, I just ruined our date, right? She dropped her gaze to our now intervened hands
He gulped down his fear and tried to gather his thoughts. If what she was now was true then he needed to get her out of this place right now
I think we should head back home, we'll plan something sooner? Your wounds seem, to be deeper love they would get infected too... let's get you checked at the hospital first
He thought she would say something but she kept staring at our hands, when he slowly tried to release his hands her eyes snapped towards him which caused him to jump back. Her eyes were hollow and dark and with his sudden motion she reached out and grabbed his collar pulling towards her
Don't believe everything you see LOVE, we would never let you be alone! She said and in the next second, he was engulfed in the darker trap. There were empty houses every were engulfed in darker clouds which cracked with every step he took
He tried to shut himself from the agonizing cries, of loss, he could hear grieving every were, he looked around to find an escape. The terror he was feeling began to suffocate him. Opening his shirt buttons he kept his legs moving where his legs carried him.
Amidst the dark fumes emitting from the place, he could see it was an abandoned under construction building. He had seen it somewhere, he tried to recollect before he could take a step towards the building he bumped in to a small child who had his toy gun pointed towards him
Maan just wanted to escape from the place which was closing on him as soon as possible, so he side stepped the boy not caring to apologize. Before he could take a step away he was stopped by a tiny hand clutching his leg.
He looked down at the kid shocked with the kid's strength, while the kid pulled his toy gun and shot him. His eyes widened at the real pain caused through his body and his mind jolted awake. All he could remember was the menacing cold look the kid gave him, and his eyes were covered with his own blood
Looking around he tried to locate the kid only to realize he was still in the restaurant which was now empty with only the manager looming over his head.
Sir? Sir? He was calling him in an unsure and there was some kind of urgency in his voice
What is it? he snapped trying to ease the pain in his head.
Sir? Are you alright? You seem to be hurt badly... he said pointing to the read blotch forming on Maan's shirt and that's when maan noticed the place which he was shot with that toy gun was bleeding... but it was because he was stabbed by a piece of glass!
Sir? Umm?! the managers mumbling wasn't helping him with tonight' events at all. And on top of it he didn't understand why he was still standing over his head.
Sir, the lady who came with you has been found unconscious in the ladies' washroom.
What!! Maan turned to his side to see her gone... she wasn't anywhere around him too... rushing towards the washroom he pushed open the door to find her lying down on ground. There were not injuries or even small scratches on her body anywhere. The ridicules pencil was still in her hair, just as it was before she entered the wash room
He slumped down beside her unconscious body running his palm down his face in disbelief.
It takes just a second for the heart to follow its next beat, how long does it take to discover the reason of its next
To Be Continued...
