(Just someone)
" How strange "
Mira whispered her eyes glue to her phone before checking out the scenery she could only sigh boardly just watching the passing cars and house's
" What's wrong ?"
Barnabas casually asked his eyes open but yet tired while staring at mira
" Nothing am just a bit worry Clara has been ignoring my calls lately she's very like this "
She complained with a hint of concerned
" Maybe she's just busy "
Barnabas replied shutting both his eyes yet again
" Maybe ! "
" If you're that worry we can actually dropped by to her place later the day "
He suggested only to receive silence for mere seconds
" No need you might be right maybe she just busy "
She mummer under her breath assuring her worried and doubting heart before focusing on the driver
" Are we there yet , what's taking so long ? "
She asked frustrated by the long journey
" Sorry miss the road was blocked so we had to take a detour after an hour we will get there soon "
The elderly man tried to reassure the young girl who scoffed with disbelief wanting to leach out
" Mira behave "
Barnabas voice was harsh but calm which restrain her unruly behavior letting the driver sigh in relief
" This is so frustrating "
Mira murmur under her breath gazing out there was nothing worth noticing
Her eyes soon fail on a female figure who was clothed on black with a mask , her burned hands held a sheet of pepper while trembling
The moment her eyes landed on her it felt something shifted her body recognized without looking properly
It been four years but deep down she still felt the guilt and the face which never seem to fade off her young mind
the scenery shifted to others who were just minding their business
" Driver stop !! "
She exclaimed almost giving the elderly man an heart attack the sudden match on the brake was pure fright
" What's wrong ? "
Barnabas snap both eyes open with a dead pin expression only to felt cold wind on his cheek
The loud honk of cars was enough to tell him what had happened only panicked flooded into his mind as he rush out as well
" Mira !!! "
He yelled climbing out while chasing his sister who were given them suspicious and strange looks
It didn't take long before he rushed to her side mira once blooming appearance was now listless and pale
Her firm shook from the sudden distance she ran
" Mira are you crazy ? "
He asked wary from the curious glance thrown their way luckily it was the first district where securities were still tight
if it had been anywhere else he would had been in trouble from the little stunned she just did
His grip tighten on her shoulder for balance as she slowly took deep breath her brows sweating
" Let's head back to the car "
Though he could feel her unwillingness he still force her dragging her already weak firm towards the direction they came from
It didn't took long before they spot the car it was neatly parked aside while the driver stood by the side talking with a traffic officer
" Lucky me "
He mock fully joked while both approach the angry looking middle age man who was waving a ticket at the driver face with annoyance but strangely the moment his eyes met Barnabas
A spark of something regret clouded his already bold expression
" M m Mr Barnabas!!! "
He exclaimed leaving Barnabas utterly surprised he didn't know he was that famous
He simply nodded before watching the driver open the backdoor while gently helping mira into the backseat
" Should I take you to the hospital? "
He asked worry and unease mostly when her complexion was now pale and sickly
" Am fine no need for hospitals"
She forced a reassuring smile noticing how worry he was
" Ok"
He calmly reply but yet she could still see the doubt and worry in his eyes which warmth
her heart she knew how her brother was simply worried about her condition
But she wasn't at all in any serious pain just exhausted besides it wasn't the first time it had happened
Though at times she might appear healthy she do know how fragile her heart truly was
Even the doctors had forbidden her in doing any stressful activities out of fear
maybe that's why this transplant surgery was very important to her and her family
It was too ironic that she was given the best protection after the incident took place years back
Now thinking back she felt her actions were a bit careless but for a moment her eyes fail on that girl
Her stomach twisted into something she had long thought was forgotten ( guilt )
If only she could go back four years back maybe just maybe she could have done something but deep down she just knew it was all a assumption nothing else
Her brown eyes follow Barnabas as he climbed into the car without her even noticing
" What's was that ? "
He asked with a hint of anger but his hands betray his concern as he unlocked her pills which wasn't surprising
She knew he always take a spare each time they went out
At first seeing such care she was always warmth and proud but as the years grew
she felt she was more of a burden then anything useful
" Why are you still lost in thought ? "
Her mind registered his words feeling the car moving without even noticing
" Water "
Before she could complete her sentence Barnabas was faster handing her a bottle of water while urging her to take her pills which she did
The taste of bittersweet medicine swollen down always wanted her to spit it back out
She could only swollen down the bitter taste the ride was silent both didn't wish to say a word
" Sorry "
She apologize waiting his mood to relax a little
" You could had been killed if a car has ran you over what were you thinking ? "
He asked a bit pissed while asking his fist tighten just by the thought
" I wasn't thinking straight "
She whispered too exhausted from all the running
" I was just too shocked at what I saw "
She paused facing Barnabas with a serious expression
" Brother what happened to that girl four years back ? "
She asked her heart beating with fear but Barnabas could only ignore her words
" It been four years ago let's just forget about it "
He said with a frowned but mira was someone who wouldn't take no for an answer
" That girl did she really die as you claim she did or are you hiding something from me ? "
