"I’m really interested in this case!!!" chap 49

"Someone is behind me!" Esther said to her self. "I have to be always on guard or else I would end up the same way like my parents were...!" Esther then cleared her thoughts and made something to eat. She thought to self study today’s portion and wrote her own notes from her study material. She then finished her works and thought about Jonathan (Mr.Perry) who would only sleep if she read a story or novel for him. She smiled and stared at the dark sky which she could see from her bed. "I’m going to sleep ..." She said while staring at the only two stars which she could see. She then fall into the deep slumber. Meantime, Zackary went back to the Mansion and saw his dad had already closed his eyes. William was leaning to the headrest.  There was a opened book in his hands and it was none other than Zack’s childhood photo Album. He had wore spectacles so that he can see the smile on his son’s face without any hurdles. Zack’s eyes softened seeing this sight. He took the book away without making any disturbance and then took his spectacles off. Zack then helped his Dad lay on the bed. But the old man slowly opened his eyes and this didn’t got unnoticed by Zack. "It’s me Dad...now sleep well!" Zack said gently and William smiled. Zack then kissed his father’s forehead and tucked him inside the duvet. "Good night!" Zack whispered and he wiped the drop of the tear which fell from his left eye. He slowly closed the door and directly went to his room without having dinner. He stood under the shower and let the cold water touch his skin. He ruffled his hair while bathing and thought about Esther. "I didn’t thought she would be having a high fever. If Edwin didn’t fetch for her then what could have happened?! Wait.. whatever happens to her does it bother me?!" Zackary scoffed at the end. But still something lingered him in his heart. Zackary then finished his bath and dried it. He then laid in the bed half ***** as it was more comfortable for him. He stared at the ceiling for few minutes and then took his phone to look at Esther . "She indeed looks good. And I like the fact that her face becomes red fast. Especially her nose. I don’t know why but I have an urge to pinch it, as well as her cheeks, And she looks beautiful even though she is crying!" Zack mumbled out staring at the crying picture of Esther. Suddenly he was enlightened with what he said. He himself slapped his face causing five marks of the palm appear on it. "I think I’m going crazy,! But who could be the one that’s protecting Esther? Why does he deal with everyone who confronts her?! The only similarity among this three cases are...that person didn’t harmed them, it was just a warning ⚠️Could he be really dangerous? Or could he be Esther’s secret admirer?Umm... that’s a possibility...I don’t know why but I’m really interested in this case!!!" Zack said smiling at the end. Author: Mashiat Jagan
