Chapter 17: 17 - Fades By Kiss
ROSE POV:
Standing in front of the washroom mirror, I touched my lips which is swollen from the kissing session
we had in the middle of the night.
I know it's just one kiss. Even I thought like that until he asked me that question yesterday night.
"Are you ok now?", he asked and
without knowing about the future consequences, I nodded.
So now in the morning, the result is Swollen lips. I don't complain but I can't hide it. It's so Obtrusive. I
applied lip cream to soothe the soreness.
I could hear him shouting at the top of his lungs. That's a different story. After our kissing session, I did
A terrible mistake by telling him that he was in a coma for a month.
He thought I was joking at first. Until the moment he realized, he turned the whole floor upside down
which woke everyone up including Sahor & Dagger who slept in the next room for Our Protection.
Both of them arrived inside, stood frozen with shocked faces, they couldn't believe their own eyes
despite ferr's tantrum. They had a moment of a Silent hug too. They're mostly like Brothers more than
Friends.
After that, they called the Doctor, as he checked ferr telling that he could discharge in the morning but
suggested him to take rest for a week. All are packed now we're ready to go back to Our Home.
Finally.....
Opening the door, I saw Mr.John on the couch enjoying his tea not having a care for the world, on the
other hand, I saw Dagger going out talking with someone on the phone also Sahor watching TV.
Oh, Man! Such A Raw Ignorance...
Well, it's reasonable, they reached their limit of hearing his rambling.
I watched My Ferr still muttering something under his breath walking back & forth.
"Ferr", holding his hand, I made him sit on the bed & gave him water to drink. "It's been...", before he
could start again I cut him off in the mid.
"I know it's been a month it's hard to take in but now you're fine, ferr", I said as he mellowed out a bit.
"Hey Red wants to talk to you", sahor said giving his phone.
Who's this Red?....
We're ready to go now. Where's Kai? Why didn't he came still?
"Hey short..", words vanished in the air as all our heads snapped towards the door. It's Kai. "Kai, Come
inside", I said when he stood near the door like he's frozen in the ice.
He doesn't like it when the room is filled with many people. He gets uneasy soon. Giving a weak nod,
he came inside.
"Ferr, this is My Friend Kai", I introduced him to ferr but his face went from a blank expression to glare.
Oh, God...
I looked at Kai as his face turned out Pale in anxiety.
This idiot scaring him...
"Stop Scaring him", I said in a stern voice. "Fine", he grumbled under his breath. "Nice to meet you &
stay away from My Flower. She's Mine", he said roughly as Kai's face widened with fear-filled eyes.
I twisted his ear, as he looked at me surprised. "Stop scaring My Cutiepie", for which he huffed turning
his face to the other side.
FERRARI POV:
We all stood outside, near the car ready to go back to Our Places.
Sahor already left for his place which is Mumbai. Dagger was about to leave now. "Take care. You have
to be more careful", he said. "Sure".
"See you Rose & cute one come with me", he asserted, making me wonder whom he's referring to as a
Cute one. I turned back to see.
Kai? I can't believe it...
I've never seen him calling anyone with Nicknames...
I looked back at Dagger, "Really? But what if he...", he cut me off in the mid. "I know all about him, now
leave him to me", he said, I could see his dominant persona taking over.
"Rose, we can leave & Kai, go with Dagger", I told as his face turned ghostly. This boy is scared to
death. I could see him clutching My Flower's arm.
Like A flash, Dagger came...............
(Note: I will reveal in their Book)
It seems like many things happened while I was in a coma.
I looked at Rose standing there dumbfounded. "Come on, We can leave too", I said wrapping my arms
around her. "Kai?", she asked worrying.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Dagger is with him. You can call him once we reach home", I said as she
gave a small nod calming down a bit.
On our way to Mansion, I looked down at my hand as she caressing the tattoo I got on my knuckles
implying her.
I pulled my hand back as she gazed at me. I lifted her from the seat, made her sit on My lap. "What are
you doing? Mr.John is near us driving", she whispered as well as scolding me.
Pressing My finger in her lips, I pressed the push button motioned her to look back.
The fixed window in front of us turned from transparent to opaque.
"Now he can't see nor hear us", I whispered gazing at her lips. Her small pouty lips are swollen still.
Even though I tasted her lips an endless number of times, yet it's not enough.
I can't believe she's staying with me despite all the things she has seen. My thoughts got interrupted
when she
held my hand placing a deep kiss on my knuckles where I got the tattoo of Rose.
"Someone is becoming so bold since the moment I woke up", I teased giving a playful smirk. "Don't say
like that", she whined closing my eyes with her hands.
"What you're doing My Red Flower?", I chuckled as I couldn't stop the smile coming on my lips. "Red?",
she asked, confused still closed my eyes with her hands.
"Yes, Now you're cheeks are kissed with Sexy Red. You don't want me to see that. So you're closing
my eyes. Am I correct?", I asked. "No", she pulled her hands back.
"Yes, I could see that redness a little bit on the side", I teased stroking her cheeks. "Stop...", she
whined again resting her head on my chest.
I chuckled holding her pressing a soft kiss on her hair which shines like gold in my eyes.
She pulled back away from me.
"Ok now... I want to ask you... Well.. you know, I..", she hesitated to say. That got me nervous.
"Are you going to leave me?", I asked as it came out as a whisper, but inside I am boiling in wrath
thinking about what she's going to say. "It's not that ferr", she exclaimed still playing with my stud.
"Ok, continue then", I said trying to pull her more close to me. "Ferr, it's impossible to get close more
than this", she said giggling which made me smile.
"We can break the limit", I whispered gazing at her lips. I leaned forward to be only pushed away
instantly. "Not now, ferr". I sighed.
"What you want you to know?", I asked waiting for her reply. "You", she whispered. "Me?", I asked
confused.
"Yes, I want to know you. Who you are really? I know, You're A not some normal Businessman", she
said as her eyes held hurt, Pain becoz I hid everything from her.
"I'll tell you all once we reach home", I said cupping her face. She nodded smilingly, wrapping her arms
around my neck she hugged me and I clasped her so tightly closing my eyes as everything flashed
before my eyes.
Should I say all? Or just about My Job? Family... childhood that I never had?
I said to her that she should've left me before our kiss. That's because I don't know about being in a
coma. But every time I was walking through A endless dark path it would lead to My 10-year-old life.
I still remember that night & the word she said still ringing in my ears.
Flashback (10-year-old)
The room lit up with a bright flash of lightning, and thunder rattled the windowpane.
"So cold", I shivered as my teeth chattering. I got up from the floor on which I was sleeping from the
day I remember.
Taking cautious steps, I made it to the kitchen. I'm so hungry, she didn't give me any food. Not even in
my thoughts, I could feel her as my mom.
I was searching for food when I heard a glass-shattering sound. I turned to see none other than my so-
called mom's husband.
The harsh scent of drink can be smelt on him. I can see him struggling to keep his balance.
"Hey, come he.aree", he slurred as he is smiling at me, deep inside I know my brain is sending signals
telling me he's up to something.
Before I could make a move, he threw me over his shoulders. "NO, PUT ME DOWN", I screamed at
the top of my lungs. "I don't knovv why but youvee look so wonderful in my eyes toa.. day", he slurred.
Hearing those words adrenaline coursed through my veins as I kicked him with my flapping legs.
He grunted, "HOW DARE YOU..", he threw me away on the kitchen table whirling down as my head hit
hard on the floor. I could taste the blood on my lips which flowing from my forehead.
"I'll teach youvv a lesson", he said removing his belt. He's going to beat me again. But the moment he
removed his pants, everything strikes me, as an unknown fear burning inside me. Becoz I've seen him
doing this only when...
I looked around searching for an escape. The window, as soon as I saw that, I got on the chair to reach
the window only to be pulled back roughly.
Taking me to the hall, despite my shouting he tossed me on the couch. "Let's have some fun", he said
as he's half-naked that made me feel disgusted with myself.
I looked away as my eyes met with the glass bottle on the table which he used to drink always. Before I
could reach that he pulled me away from the side.
"No..no...no... Leave me... Leave...", not hearing out my pleas he removed my pants. Struggling to get
away from him, I crawled up to reach the bottle.
"Now let's remove this", he said as his hands reaching my t-shirt.
A glass thrilled sound echoed along with the thunder clapped and echoed through the hall. I could see
him groaning in pain lying on the floor as his head bleeding making a pool of blood all around.
I throw the glass bottle piece away getting down from the couch, I put my pants back. "Bastard... I don't
know why she didn't kill you", he said with a grunt still lying on the floor.
For the first time in my life, my hands are itched to kill him, make all suffer for what they did to me.
I stood in front of him with my hands at the back, as he lied there holding his bleeding spot. "You don't
deserve to live", I said seeing his eyes. I could see his eyes showing a hint of fear.
"You'll never have A identity for yourself if you kill me. You have my name, Ferrari Raffa James", he
said as if he's challenging me to kill him.1
"I Maybe 10 years old but the way you all treated me made me into A mature person. That mind telling
me to kill you & I WILL MAKE MY OWN IDENTITY", I raged out in the end.
Taking out the knife, which I hid at the back. I stabbed him right into his forehead watching him give his
final breath.
The I piercing it deep in all way, I held the knife still in the same position on his head.
I could hear a small whimpering sound. Lifting my eyes, I saw Franco, this man's son standing there
with shaky legs.
I'll never forget the things he has done for me. Thinking about all, I took the knife out from his forehead
who is dead now. Taking out all my rage, I stabbed his father's face again and again in front of his eyes.
"NO", he yelled out running towards me. Gripping the knife tightly to not slip from my hands, I slashed
his face with the knife I got. Holding his cheeks, he crawled back scared.
"Are you scared, Franco?", I asked him, his whole body started to shake up.
"You know what? I was so scared when you burned my thighs with the Ironing, I was so scared when
you locked me up in your Dead Father's dungeon all night with the dead bodies & THAT HURT A LOT
WHEN YOU PIERCED MY KNUCKLES WITH THE KNIFE TAKING THAT OUT THROUGH THE
OTHER SIDE WHILE I WAS SLEEPING ON THE COLD FLOOR", I yelled at his face slashing his
cheeks again as he collapsed on the floor.
I took a deep breath, I tried to steady my uneven breathing. I looked at my hands, it was red. Blood
dripping on the floor.
My legs gave out as fell on my knees.
The storm had ebbed to nothingness, now the silence was as pure as me. It's Empty now. Maybe, I
was never really empty... I am just full of the wrong thing.
I could hear the footsteps echoing, but don't have the strength to look up. I heard A thud sound of
something fell on the floor.
I looked up to see my so-called mother. "DID YOU DO THIS?", she screamed out. I nodded. "How
could you?", she whispered as her face turned pale with horror-filled eyes not able to believe.
"Just like the man I fucked with, you're nothing but A MONSTER. it's better to live your life alone. ONE
DAY, YOU'LL KILL EVEN YOUR LOVED ONES. I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST GAVE BIRTH TO A DE...
...................*flashback ends*....................
"Ferr wake up", My eyes jerk open, I looked around in a haste & at her. She's here, we're still in the car.
"Are you ok?", she asked worriedly wiping off sweat from my forehead.
"Yes, just feeling tired", I said ruffling my hair back as I could feel my head hurting.
"We're going to reach home soon. Everything is going to be fine", she said smiling at me holding my
hand. I gave a weak nod.
"You seem to be in a bad mood", she asked rubbing her nose with mine. "I'm fine Flower", I replied
placing a small kiss on her nose as she giggled.
"Close your eyes," she said. Not in the mood to ask questions, I did as she says. I shut my eyes. I
could feel her hand moved to the back of my neck.
I felt her breath on my face as her lips met mine sending a shiver to my whole body. I cupped her face
as she did the same.
She moved her lips against mine, I deepened the kiss as she ran her fingers through my hair making
my previous thoughts wither away.
It was the kind of kiss that was so intoxicating my senses that I couldn't think about anything else apart
from her.
