Opportunity #6

"A little girl walking late night at silent street. Is it dangerous? Of course it is! But if people knew some humanity then nothing bad would happen in this world. Everything would be so safe."

A teenage girl was walking around streets in drunk state and mumbling. She heard some gun shots, and loud violent sound. When she went their out of curiosity. She saw a man in mask and black suit and a police officer fighting with each other with weapons.

With a loud gun shot, masked man whom she claimed to be bad guy fell near the place she was hiding. He was unconscious. But his fair skin and pink lips were exposed from falling.

She took that man with him in her home where she was alone. Her parents were out for camping some days. She was drunk. So, she didn't think twice how dangerous it can be to bring strangers. (plus a man who got shot by police)

Another day morning, she had totally forgot everything about her bad guy and the fight she saw in streets. But she heard it from neighborhood hustling early in the morning.

Not even a single clue was in her house which could prove there was a man in her house yesterday even the man and bloody sheet was gone.

Police came to enquire neighbors because the man was lost last night on the spot he fell unconscious. For many days, it became a hot topic for the citizens living there.

After 7 years*

As time passed by everyone forgot this matter and to talk about her. She never recalled anything.

Jade (the girl who accidentally and almost triggered her death in the street) got a job as a lawyer and a good reputation.

She has a sister who has offended a gang somehow. After giving it hundreds thought. She went to meet her boss with an idea of a deal.

Sure, she was frightened but didn't return from the living devil's door. Her meeting with the boss turned out fine and except for a deal of paying him heavy sum of money.

She didn't know it was all planned by Hayden (the boss's friend) to capture her. Hayden was the same man whom she accidentally saved from officer.

From that night, years ago, Hayden has been keeping an eye on her. He knew very well she had forgotten everything about him and the fact that she won't be any danger in future but still a part of him wasn't letting her go.

Hayden approached her at her criticial money ,offering heavy sum of money to investigate and handle a case. Plan was simple but successful.

Apart from meeting for business, they began to go on dates often. Still now, she is unaware about his' plan. They both loved each other but didn't confess. The moments they were making turned into memory when Jade lost his each single trace.

Jade tried to find him everywhere. She tried as much as she could. the boss asking her money also disappeared. When asked her sister, she said she was never involved in anything like that. Even the documents of the case, Hayden handed, was nowhere to be found.

She doubted if that all was real. As time went by, she tried to forget him. Their sweet moments turned into memory and memory were fading.

After two weeks of her marriage with a gentleman, Eric who handlled her while Hayden was missing. Her husband died in accident. She was alone once again in sorrow of her husband's death.

But not for long because Hayden was back! The big wave of emotion she felt, made her believe she is in a dream.

Hayden told her about his feelings. He kept pursuing her. He kept loving her. His affection for her didn't die even after feeling her ingorance.

But Eric just died. Jade couldn't accept his love at this criticial moment. Her love for Eric wasn't fake then why is she thinking about Hayden. He left her no matter what the reason was. She was convincing herself. She loved Eric even if he is dead it's felt like cheating on him. Neither she made things clear with Hayden nor could move on from Eric.

Her feelings for Hayden just kept growing more but hold it in her heart. Again, Hayden went missing. She feared if she could see him again. Now, instead of hesitate, guilt took it's place for not accepting Hayden. She blamed herself and promised she would marry him when he returns.

His return brought a sharp pain in her chest. He had a loving wife now. A warm and gentle love between them. Now, nothing was in her hand. She kept her feelings caged in her heart.

She could only live in her memory where Eric gave her gentleness, love and warmth. Because thinking about Hayden giving her love when he has a wife was wrong.

She went in her husband's grave at cold morning to pay his grave a visit where she told him about her mistake and guilt. Mistake for not giving Eric, the love he wanted to feel before he died. And guilt of not accepting Hayden's gentle love because of getting stuck in the past.

"If I had one more chance, I would like to spend my whole life in your warm embrace, Eric. I am coming for you."
