“Healing hug”

Episode- 76 “Healing hug” **            Alisa’s POV:** I was sitting in this room, wiping my tears, but I clearly remember we moments shared together….. his lips… I can still feel them on mine…. I am being unreasonable. But I wonder who was that old man,,, he looked mysterious…. Should I ask him…. no, it’s doesn’t concern me… and he will never answer me. The door opened and I saw Mr. Ken standing at the door. Mr. Ken smiled but I didn’t give any reaction. Mr. Ken said, “Miss Alisa, Sir is calling you for lunch.” I replied looking out of window, “I don’t feel like eating….” I heard Mr. Ken, “Miss… please don’t make things hard for yourself,,, let’s go… or he will be angry.” I know he is not kidding and maybe he is trying help. I nodded. But I asked, “Mr. Ken when can I be free from him?” I know asking him this will be of no use but I want to know. but I never got a answer, maybe he doesn’t have a answer. I was having lunch with him, I was finding hard to eat even though food was good… because he was with me. I was curious and I asked, “Who… was that old man earlier?” Edwin answered without looking at me, “It none of your business….” His word were harsh, I knew this would be his reaction then why did I even bother to ask…. I bite my lips to stop my any further words…. I kept playing with the food, I heard him, “Don’t want to eat?” I looked at him and I saw he was not pleased by my behavior. I answered, “I am just… worried about my family.” He directed his attention to hi s plate and keep eating. I was still waiting for his words, he said, “They will be fine till you behave.” I hate when he treat me like this, I got up and said, “I am going to see Ruth…. Excuse me.” I didn’t wait for reply but I did heard him, “Before 9  at my mansion.” I kept walking and trying to hold my tears to myself.  Ken dropped me to the hospital……… I rushed in Ruth’s room, her leg was plastered and she was doing something on her phone,,,, seems like she didn’t noticed me, I knocked the door… she looked at me. I went to her and said with guilt, “I am sorry..” She replied, “For coming late…….” I said, “He did this to you because of me,,,, I am sorry. I promise things like this will never happen again…. I fixed everything” I saw anger on her face, she cursed, “That fu***r broke my leg…. Ahh…. Wait…. What was the last part?.... you fixed it… how?... don’t tell me you went back to him…. I swear I will kill you, you are being that stupid.” Yes, I did that stupid thing…… because this was the only way to save you all. I said, “Take care… I have to go.” I walked out of the room with tears….. what I am going  to do now? I bumped into someone as I was busy with my thoughts, I apologized, “Sorry… I didn’t see you.” I looked at that person and it was Vic, he was wearing doctor coat… he smiled and replied, “Well then lets get some time to see me.” he pulled me with him out of the building…. I didn’t get much time to oppose or understand. We were sitting in a park near the hospital….  I was nervous and fighting to look at him. He took my hand in his and I pulled back, he was surprised. I said, “He rejected the divorce…. I can’t …” my words stuck in my throat as about to cry. He pulled my hand in his again… he said, “I don’t mind, because I know you don’t what that…. I will protect you.” his arm pulled me into his hug and I pushed him, as I remember Edwin’s warning. I cried out, “He is dangerous… he will kill you if he knows that you-” His words cut mine by saying, “He will try to kill me if he knows I love you…. but don’t worry he will never kill his friends….. right now your face shows you need to cry and let it out…. So, do it. Love.” He pulled me back to his chest and hugged me, I couldn’t control any more, I cried… as much I wanted to… I was so sunken in his arms and my pain that I don’t care about any other thing. I felt his hands petting my head and I hugged him tighter…… but why do I feel playing with his feeling…. Maybe because I can’t return the love he is giving me.
