Zackary raised his eyes and saw Edwin had zoned out. Sure enough he knew what his friend is thinking. Esther too have this kind of problem. Thinking that they are responsible for the unpredicted problems that happens around them.
"He is going to be fine Ed! " Zackary said to lighten his friend’s mood.
"Mmm... let’s hope...and also I have a serious matter to talk... !" Ed said getting seated beside him.
Zackary nodded and Edwin opened his mouth to speak..."Police is now searching for Esther...they said they want to talk to her as soon as possible. They have already finished taking statements with the security and other employees who worked with her and now it’s her the final one. They got the information that she was living with me and asked me few questions to which I replied honestly, about Esther..like her friends ..etc!"
Zackary sat there still. Seeing Zack’s face Edwin asked him..." What’s the matter Zack? Anything bothering you?"
"...Ed... haven’t I shared about the Mystery person who had been threatening all the people who had somewhat a connection with Esther!"
"Yes you did, and he has not been active for three years, wasn’t that what you said! " Edwin replied him.
"Yes... I have a feeling... That .. this person could be the one that killed ...Miss Helen!" Zackary spoke his assumption out.
After a couple of moments Edwin spoke..."umm, why do you think so?"
"...As usual...this person didn’t left any evidences and ... He killed her because she really tried to...harm her...but don’t ask me what that is!" Zackary said averting his eyes.
"... Whatever it is! I know you would protect her Zack! ...and as a brother I have a wish to walk her on aisle.... That’s when will I feel she is really married to you. I want to see my baby girl being all happy. ...
Zackary... She is innocent and naive... protect her. She is still the clumsy one who would only walk without falling if she have a hold of my finger!" Edwin said and wiped the tears that stood on que to fall on his cheeks with his thumb and index finger.
"Aren’t you gonna have a talk with Esther?" Zackary asked.
"Nope ...she will be feeling so low now and would not be in a mood to have a talk with me. She will be feeling bad because she didn’t told this to me and thus would take time to be comfortable around me again. Let her take time and I’ll come to her when the time comes ... Tell her that she is not in wrong side. I don’t have any kind of judgement against her...and also tell her brother loves her a lot and is waiting for her to hug me when she is ready! "
Zackary nodded and smiled a little.
"Will I be an uncle by next year? Can I expect a junior Zack or junior Esth..?"
