The Last Kiss - Chapter 70 Love Story 2
He gave Jane the tea cup. “You were taking care of us?”. Her eyes were thankful to him. “Am sorry. I should not have thrown that bottle back to them.”
“You have done right Jane. Who gave them right to throw that bottle on you. Your head got injured. We must react. You did it right.” She was expecting scolding. His answer thrilled her somewhat.
She looked at him. “Desmond, can you do me a favour?”. She was a bit ashamed to ask him this. But she need to do that. Otherwise she will not get mental peace.
“What’s it Jane?”. He was eager to know what it could be. The one who was too arrogant turned to be polite after walking up from coma. He was expecting more surprises…
“I want to meet that old man. Is he safe. I want to say sorry to you. I didn’t like it when you gave him your coat. It was he who informed you and fought for me. He is human. I was not. I don’t want to be like this. I want to be human”.
What should I say to this young lady? Desmond thought for a while. I was not able to speak a word. I was wondering what is going on. So fast a change? May be she suffered that much. He spoke, “I am proud of you now. You are the real human. Only humans err and they change for the good. Our character depends on a lot of things, like family society friends etc etc. But nobody is perfect. There is no point in blaming any of these factors. But we can correct it. If you can, that means you are nearly perfect. ”
Jane understood not a single word he said. She don’t like philosopher and philosophy. “can you take me there?”. That was what she wanted the most.
” I can but only tomorrow. Both of you are okay now and will get discharged tomorrow. On the way back home we can meet him. He is staying in the slums. ” His reply made her relieved.
She laid down again and slept.
We had discharged the next day. She was a bit excited. We reached his home. A small tent. We wondered what he will do during the winter. She felt sad for him.
“Madam you are okay now. Thank God.” He smiled at her.
“yes, am okay. Thank you. For informing them and saving me. Words are not enough to explain my thanks to you.”. She was that grateful to him.
“Are you alone here?” She was curious to know her whereabouts. He is single. His wife died 20 yrs ago. He never married again. No children. As per his own words, he is someone who is waiting for the sweet embrace of death and meet his darling there in the heaven.
Uncle John, I am planning to hire a house. Could you arrange a maid for us. I don’t want to live in hostel. Me and Sheila will be there. Also I want you to be with us. We will arrange a room for you. You need to help us do shopping etc. If you are willing, I can ask any of my friends are interested to share the house. ” all she wanted was to provide a good shelter for him. We never thought she would go this extend.
“If you are willing, I can move there uncle.” His sudden dialogue shocked me and Jane. We never expected this. How come we live together with a young man. She was going to say no but John replied him, “Sir if you will be there, I am happy. I can take up this job.”
Next day we three went insearch of a house and settled on a four bedroom flat. They arranged rooms and planned to move the very next day. John’s and Desmond’s room were on one side and the other side rooms belong to girls. Kitchen was big and refrigerator was full. From then, her attitude towards all changed. She became more and more lovable. Once I told her that I can’t believe she had such a change.. Her reply was “You haven’t gone through what I had. So it is natural that you don’t understand. If he did not inform Desmond and did not fight with them till they arrived, think of what will happen. They were going to tear me up. I was sure they were planning to **** me. I would have tortured to that extend that both mentally and physically I can’t live peacefully even a day. I will have haunted nights… He saved me from all these. How should I show him my gratitude? Is these things would ever equate what he did to me?”
Desmond is head over heels now to Jane. That fool Jane was not aware of this. When some of the boys in our class saw Desmond getting close to us, they wanted to make use of his friendship with them to be friend with Jane. Adrian was the one who asked him to introduce him to Jane. He loves her. Now Desmond is trapped.
How can he be the messenger for his friend when the one he loves is his own girl friend. Well he was not happy with that. He felt the need for confessing his love to her asap. But how. He had no prior experience. But Jane noticed some behavioural change in him.. she discussed this with me. I said he is in love with someone. Then she want to know who it is.
Next day when Desmond was sitting on his seat. His seat is next to Adrian’s. Jane went and sat on Adrian’s seat.
“Are you in love??? Hmmm I understand from your behaviour that you seem to be head over heels to someone… Tell me frankly who she is… Me and Sheila will help you get more close to her. Be open minded.” What the heck..She wants to know my lover’s name. It’s you darling. I don’t know how you will react. He thought in mind.
“don’t worry. We will help you. Please be cool.”
He was staring at her. Then he looked at the book. He wrote her name on it. Suddenly she noticed that. “Hey you, this book belongs to that pervert Adrian. Dont write my name on it. It will create more problems.” She scratched her name and kept the book aside. “Now tell me her name.”
He was help less. What id this stupid went angry and did not talk to me… This was his fear.
