KAIZA'S POV :-
Today's the day.
I did not even realise it.
I am ready, I don't care about anything, but I want justice for what he did to us.
I was lost in thoughts, while tying my tie.
She came from the back.
"Don't think about it too much. You're good. Everything's good." She said, and smiled.
She fixed my tie.
"I know..." I smiled.
She hugged me.
I too wrapped my arms around her.
I kissed her soft hair.
She pulled back.
Fixed my hair.
"Let's go."
"Yeah." I murmured.
We reached the court.
We were waiting in the area, just then loris came from the front.
My jaw tightened, eyebrows narrowed, fist curling up.
She held my hand, tugging her fingers into mine.
It's like, she was trying to calm me down.
I looked at her, she gave me a slight nod.
We went in.
Different facts were stated from both sides.
"Your Honour! The defendant does not have any right to claim the company!"
"Your honour! He may not have the right to claim the company, but Mrs. Elena does! She's legally mother of the."
After every argument, my heart was pumping hard.
Not because I'm afraid we'll lose the case.
"Your honour! The loan was taken 14 years ago, the claim is already deposited, they don't get any share now!"
"Your honour! That wasn't a loan! That was an investment! And investment needs a return!"
But because, her parents, my dad, everyone's struggle would be a waste.
"that was a family loan! It doesn't need agreement, but what we needs an agreement of investment."
" And that doesn't exist, Your Honour." The lawyer said tapping his fingers on the table.
The environment is already tensed.
Since when does a family loan require
paperwork?
" Justice is served on stated documents not on verbal facts."
"That's true, but there isn't any investment record either. We can't just say it as a proof.
I'm confused.
We don't have any agreement of the loan.
What are we gonna do?
We need to find more solid proofs.
--------------------------------------------
Today's day was hectic, it just gave more pressure.
I have to meet my dad, but as much I know him, if he had something that important, he would have given it to me already.
It's been 2 days since the last hearing.
We still haven't find anything.
I was in the office. I looked at every locker.
Every professional document, of that year or around that year.
I got a call from jaff, I was busy so I ignored it, he was just calling me continuously.
Already 3 missed calls.
I rolled my eyes in frustration.
"Heloo!! Where the hell are you?"
He yelled through the phone.
"What happened?" I asked, calming him down.
"I've got something! You needs that!" He said.
Before I could say anything, I heard someone from behind.
It was familiar sound.
"Okay anyways, I'm sending you location, bye I've my work to do."
I couldn't say anything, he cut the call.
I was confused hearing that voice.
I know that voice, but can't figure out the person.
He sent me a message, locating a restaurant, which is in different city.
Woah! That long!
What did he even get?
Uh this man, I'm already stressed, and this man, making me curious.
Uggghhh!!!
I immediately went to the parking and left.
The car moving with constant speed.
I was resting my head on the seat, papers sitting on the lap.
I couldn't find anything in them.
Nothing.
The next hearing is in the next week.
As soon as we reached there.
I just found the seat he asked to meet at.
Jaff was sitting there, with a guy.
I went there.
That man was wearing a mark, cap, fully covered.
"Why did you call me here?" I asked, with dull face.
"I told you I've got something." He said, placing a file on the table.
He signed with eyes to open it.
My jaw tightened.
I opened it, the document was old, almost crumpled.
I read it.
---------------------------------------------
I went home after meeting, and now, I'm even more confused.
I just met kevin.
I knew I heard that sound, which was familiar.
It was kevin.
Why was he with jaff?
That man can't be kevin, no no.
Jaff won't do anything like that.
Damn shit! No-one can handle the company in my absence.
I was about to find out who it was.
I went back to the company.
I attended the meeting, for which I had to leave early.
I had the file.
I called our lawyer and discussed about it.
Let's see how can it help us.
But we still don't have that important evidence.
The only way left is Dad.
I didn't want to disturb him right now, because his condition is not so good.
ASTHERIEN'S POV :-
It's been a long time since I've seen him smiling.
Heartly.
He's doing his best.
We can't change the past, but we can preserve the future.
I still feel uneasy when I meet my parents.
Their tone? Their behaviour?
It's not them who changed, it's me.
Even if I don't want to..I can't help it.
They don't know that i know...everything.
I've met them, but can't feel the same way.
I still have alot to do, I can't just sit back thi king about this right now.
I need to focus on something else..
How can I help him?
I know he's already stressed.
But staying late outside can't help it.
It's late in night, and he's still not home.
I've been waiting for him to come.
I'm damn sure, he hadn't eaten his dinner yet.
Uhhh!!! I'm hell worried.
He isn't even picking up his phone!
Not at his business, not at home, where the fuck he is!
Where are you, Kaiza?
I'm gonna go crazy!
This really isn't you....please pick up.
