Chapter 111: Amelia?
Just as I returned to my place, my steps came to a halt when I saw the woman in front of me. But my heart started beating faster when I saw her.
“Why is she here?” I muttered as I ran towards her.
What I am today is all because of her, but I was surprised to find her here. I could see that she was looking at me with a slight smile on her face.
Is it an illusion or a reality? I didn’t know, but a surge of happiness welled up inside me when I saw her figure.
Just as I stood in front of her, my hands reached out to touch her cheeks unknowingly, but it surprised me when my hands just passed her cheeks as if she was not there.
“So it’s an illusion, huh?” I muttered as I stared at the figure in front of her.
Whatever it is, I was thrilled when I saw the figure in front of me. Apart from Lucia, she was the other woman who moved my heart. I sigh escaped my lips as I stared at the beautiful figure in front of me, and once again my hands tried to caress her cheeks.
I was rooted to the spot when I heard her voice, as my eyes fixed on the figure in front of me.
“Why are you sighing so much?”
She was talking to me while she wore an amused expression on her face. And I could also see a slight smile, as if she was really enjoying my plight.
“Yo… You are here?” I started stammering as I asked. I really couldn’t believe that she was here. But why is she like this?
“Yes, I am, but not for long,” she smiled and said while her eyes were fixed on me.
I was surprised; I didn’t know that she could come here like this. Even when I was in the village, I didn’t know that she even had this power. But if she had this power, why can’t she reach out to Adrian?
But maybe she would have her own issues, otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked me to reach out to him.
“Why are you here?” I asked as I stared at her figure.
“You are asking me why? You were the reason I came here.” She paused as she stared at me.
“Me?” I exclaimed as I pointed a finger at myself.
How could I be the reason? But then I remembered that I had just created the mess in that park.
“Yes, I had a feeling that you were in danger. That’s why I am here. You remembered the connection between us, right?” She said as her eyes fixed on me.
I nodded as I looked at her.
“Whenever you are in life-threatening danger, I could feel the connection between breaking. That was the reason I came here to check on you,” she said, as her face turned solemn.
I was surprised but felt touched by her. Hah, so many people care for me in this world.
“Do you want to say something?” But her voice reached my ears.
Ah, I think she doesn’t know about what happened to me.
“I don’t know what happened. I have awakened the power of lightning and the power of wind, and just a few minutes before I awakened the power,”
I said as I looked at her. I could see that her face turned solemn when she heard me, but I could also see a look of expectation in her eyes.
“Are you serious?” She asked me, as her eyes locked onto my face.
“Yes,” I nodded slightly as I said.
“Hmmm, it’s good and bad news as well. The good news is that the blood has resonated with your body and the bad news is that your body is still not strong enough to hold so much power. I think that was the reason I had that feeling,” she said to me. I can even see a look of concern on her face.
And as expected, it has something to do with that blood. But I didn’t know that I would be this special, that I would activate this many powers. And the danger of not having a powerful body is also known to her.
“I know and almost everyone knows about this in the facility,” I sighed and said
“Everyone?” She had a puzzled expression on her face as she looked at me.
I nodded and retold everything that happened to me after coming here. I even told her that the headquarters focused their attention on me, and most probably I would move to headquarters after I awakened the third Power.
But instead of worrying, her face rejoiced when I told her that I would most probably be moving to headquarters.
“Are you really going to headquarters of the forces?” She exclaimed and asked.
“Yes, maybe, but why are you getting excited? Shouldn’t you be worried that they would experiment with me?”
She just looked like a little girl who just got her favorite news.
“Ah, sorry, but shouldn’t you also rejoice that you are going to headquarters of this so-called force?” She exclaimed and asked.
My eyes squinted as I looked at her. “Why? Why should I rejoice?”
“They would be focused only on you. There are few people like you in this world, and they will leave no stone unturned to nurture you. And don’t worry about being under the table, they wouldn’t touch a potential powerhouse of the future. And one more thing, you would get to know Adrian when you go there,” she said. Happiness was clear on her face.
My heart ached a little when I heard her. So basically she was happy that since I would move to headquarters, it would be easy for me to get the news of Adrian, but she was not worried about me being in danger. She said those words just to console me.
I pursed my lips and my eyes fixed on the ground and nodded lightly and said,” Maybe, but anyway, isn’t it time for you to go? If someone sees you, it would be a problem for me. If I got to know anything about him, I will contact you and till that time don’t even try to contact me, and take care of Diana, she would miss me.”
I saw that her face was filled with surprise when she heard my rant. I wouldn’t have expected me to rant like that. I don’t know whether or not she understood me, but she nodded and said,
“Sorry if I said something to hurt you, but you are right, I will go now and don’t worry, this space is sealed, no one could see me and you don’t have to worry about Diana, she is doing great.”
I nodded and turned around to leave my place without even saying a word to her. I don’t know why, but I felt that my heart cracked a little. But I understood something today. I should cherish the people who were worried about me and not focus on the person who doesn’t even care about me.
I could feel her gaze on my back as I made my way back to my place, but the feeling disappeared after some time.
A mocking laugh escaped my lips as I stared at the stars again. The world is full of selfish people. There are very few who care about others. She was just worried about me because I was the source for her to get the news of Adrian, not because something happened to me.
Those stars entered my sight as my life on earth flashed before me. Even I was the selfish asshole. Is this the retribution of my life there? But suddenly, precious memories of my life flashed before my eyes. Lucia, Diana, Olivia, Alexandra, Tanya, and Even Granny’s images flashed before my eyes. I could feel that these were the people who genuinely cared for me. Which was visible from their eyes.
At that moment, something changed inside me. I realized that selfishness was not a bad thing. I have to be selfish about the people I care about, and that’s all. No more goody two shoes and maintaining the image to impress some people who don’t even care about me. Fuck them.
Many people would come and go on the journey of life. But I should cherish the ones who stood beside me on this journey. I shouldn’t run after the impossible but make all efforts to hold the one who was with me all the time. Maybe I would not get any chance if I lost the people dear to me.
Suddenly, I felt like I was free of some burden, as if I had gained some enlightenment of life. Suddenly I felt that I was free of all the worries in the world and my eyes were covered in white light. And when it vanished, I was back in the memories of that man.
I was standing at the same place, which I saw last time. The place seemed to be like the training place of the village. And a woman who looked similar to Diana was standing before me. I could also see that she was thrilled about something.
“What is it?” I muttered internally as my gaze locked on to the women before me.
