Chapter Twenty Two

GURU

" Bro you fuc**** need to control yourself. " Nyle frowned.
I was clutching the chair's back with my hands. My forehead was wrinkled with frown.
" Bro, She's fine in her room. " Nyle said. I kept silent, I didn't wanna rage at him. I could sense her pain and suffering. It was stinging me that she could share it with me, but she prefer to be mute, because of fuc**** result what would I do? I hadn't gotten it until now, why my powers are increasing.
" Guru " Nance was rapidly breathing.
" Shael? " I asked.
She nodded. I rushed to our room, " In the garden area. " She sighted.
I scurried toward the garden. It was the worst weather outside. It was horrible dark out there. She was laying on the grass ground. " Fu**! " I hurtled at her and picked her up. I took her inside instantly using my speed. Before Nyle could open the door. I opened the door of the room for us with my power. I set her down on the mattress. Nance handed me a towel. I dried her face, arms and rubbed it on her hair. Her eyes were flickering, " Are you okay? " I asked, calming.
She opened her eyes, glared at me and shut them again.
" Give me warm clothes for her." Nance handed over her clothes to me.
" I've to change her clothes. " I asserted.
Both exited from the room. I removed her wet clothes and put on the dry, " Fu**! she is boiling with the fever. I should fuc**** control my fury."
" Doctor has come, bro. " Nyle knocked from out of the door.
I let 'em in. I didn't interfere while the doctor was doing her job.
" She is suffering from hyperthermia, That's why her body temperature is 107°F .I have to............." I was giving whole attention to Shael, I couldn't catch the doctor's words " I'll manage it bro. " Nyle beckoned to the Doctor. They left from the door.
" Yeah thanks " I said in a low voice.
" Don't mention it. " Nyle said.
It stopped raining. I cursed under my breath, ' It's all my fault. ' I muttered.
' Maybe, cause of powers. I have to meet Mick as soon as possible. ' I thought. I looked at my hands, it was sparking electric blue. I cursed again. I clenched them and sat beside her.
Next morning, She wasn't on the mattress beside me. I raced my sight and she was standing near her cupboard. Her hands were on her top's neck. She caught it's hem under her teeth and it had covered her front. " Shael. " I said.
" Hmmm " She hummed and turned to look at me. She blinked and whirled toward the cupboard again.
I walked toward her, " What are you doing? " I asked her.
" I'm removing it. " She replied, holding the hem under her teeth.
I gripped the hem of her top and pulled it down, " You are suffering from fever. You can't. " I told her.
She lovingly eyed me, " But I don't like it. " She told me with her cute face.
" You are looking pretty in it. " I told her.
She turned to look at me, " Ain't you upset with me? " she asked, inclining her face.
" Nah, You must be hungry, let me cook for you. " I suggested to her.
" You know cooking. " Shocked, covered her face. Her mouth gaped and hem fell from under her teeth.
" Yes, I do. " I chuckled.
" Ok. I'll come with you. " She put on her slippers, holding the front of her top.
" Wait a second, Why were you holding your top like this. '' I asked her.
She lost the hold on her top, It smoothly laid on her skin and it was showing the swell of her bre***, " It's showing my skin. " She answered.
" But I love it. " I answered back.
Her face turned red with shyness. I gave her something else to wear on it. She put it over her top.
She was pacing with me, but my long strides were failing her. I slowed my walk, " Salad? " I asked.
" You'll eat with me? " She asked with a smile, reaching in the kitchen.
I lifted her up and made her sit on the table in the kitchen, " Yeah, sure. if you'll share with me. " I smirked.
She passed me her huge smile.
Mom was coming into the kitchen, " Good morning, mom. " I said, asking her to cook something for her.
" Good morning, sweet heart., I've had mine. You both enjoy your food. " she smiled at me.
" Good morning m... Good Morning. " Shael said to mom.
" Good morning, daring. " mom placed her hand on her cheek, " How's your fever now? It was one hundred and seven. You scared us, especially my son. " she pointed at me.
" I'm fine now. It's normal." She smiled.
" What's your mean? It's normal. " I frowned.
" I usually get this kind of fever. Momma knows better than you to manage it. She doesn't allow the doctor to make a hole in my arm. see.. " She showed me her arm, where the doctor injected her last night.
" So unique. We Need to take you to our secret world. Maybe they could cure it. " Mom suggested.
" I've talked to Mick. We'll visit there soon. In fact we're shifting there. " I told Mom.
" Hmm, good decision. See you both later. If anything you want, I'm in my room " she went out of the kitchen.
We had our breakfast together. She was denying taking her medicine, But I made her have it like her momma did. Filled a jug of water, kept one tablet at once on her tongue, and swallowed one tablet with a half filled glass of water. It's extremely difficult to persuade her to have the medicines.
" Can we go out? " She asked with hope.
" Where do you want to go? " I asked with a smile.
" Um green green, I mean lots of flowers and grass, I wanna walk on grass. " She happily said.
" You can easily get all this in our garden. " Nyle mocked.
" Are you reverberating us? " I pretended to give him my tough look.
" No, bro. I was reverberating my sister-in-law. " he wiggled his eyebrows at me.
" ਕੰਜੂਸ। " Shael made a face. ( Stingy)
Me and Nyle, a huge smile stretched on our faces.
" Would you like to go to the seashore? " I suggested through my laugh.
" Really, There's a sea in London? Yes! " She said with excitement.
" Bermondsey Beach. " Nyle suggested.
" No, I've seen Thames River. I wanna see green, I will feel cold beholding water. " She answered back.
" I know, where would you like to go? You need to change. You can't come in these clothes. " I tugged Shael toward our room.
I picked a blue wool top for her and black trouser, " I'm worse in it, Would you like this? " I hung it in front of her.
" Perfect. " she smiled.
. . . .

" Ain't we going out? " she asked.
" You're not well, so it can wait. " I replied.
" No, Why did you pick clothes for me? Please, I wanna go out. I dressed up, see. " she insisted.
" I promise you, we'll go, but not now, when your body's temperature is still this high 102°F . " I held her hand. Before going out, I checked her fever. It was still high. I called her mother last night. She said it's normal and she'd be fine within two days.
" Ouch. " she cried in pain.
" What's wrong? Did I hurt you? " I worried.
" No, you didn't . In truth, I've hurted you. But you'll not understand, why did I do so? " she lamented.
" You didn't hurt me. I was disappointed, Why are you not trusting me? Do you strongly believe, I'll not comprehend you? " I asked her.
" I don't want to hurt you. I'm sorry. I don't know, how will you take it? " she said to me in a low tone.
' I like you, perhaps it's love. I'm not sure, but I'll not explain it to you, unless I realized your feelings. It will kill me, if you will break my heart. I can't explain it to you. Because I don't understand, Why do you attract me? I can't understand, why am I thinking this? ' She thought.
My heart was hammering, knowing this from her. It is new for me. I was staring at her. She loves me.
" What are you thinking? " She put her hand on my arm.
" Yea, yea... I'm here. wait. " I saw bruises marks on her arm, I put ointment on it last night. She didn't reveal it to me how she got it.
" Would you like to tell me ? " I asked, touching her arm. I could easily throttle him. But it would affect her. Somehow, she still felt for him. It may not love, but some part of it.
" J.. um, Jaz clutched my wrist forcibly. " She said with a gloomy voice.
" And this? " I moved my finger over her wrist.
' He twisted it behind my back. ' she thought.
I waited for her to speak it out. But as usual, she didn't.
" I don't wanna talk about it. " she whispered.
I fisted my hands, " As you like. It's getting cold here, let's get in. " I said.
" Alright. " she smiled.
I picked up some noises from the hall. Nyle was shouting and he hadn't behaved ill-manner before, " What's wrong? " I asked him.
" O What a lucky day it is! See, who's here? " Dad pretended to be happy seeing me.
" Hello, Guru. " Janney said from behind the Dad.
" What the hell are you doing here? " I snapped.
" Oh, come on!" Nyle cut her off, " Stay away from me and my brother and his wife. " Nyle seethed.
I can't find out what they are thinking. This power didn't apply to other people, except Shael. I've desired to know Janney and Dad's thoughts, " Why does she want to marry in this family? Why does Dad desperately want this? I've to find the reasons and disentangle this mystery. Maybe, I could detect the cause of my father's behavior.
" She is getting married to my younger son. " Dad declared.
" No, He's not. " I snapped.
" O is that so? But your mother has no problem with this wedding, you can ask her. " He pointed at mom.
I saw mom for a second, " Yes, I haven't any issue with it. " She timidly replied.
" How did he compel you this time, Mom? " I stepped near to her.
" No, It's not true. I really like Janney. But you got married to Shael. She is really cute. She is perfect for you. If you couldn't marry her. Nyle can...." She trailed.
" Hell, No. I'm not fuc**** marry her. " Nyle frowned.
" As you like Shael for me, you would definitely like Nyle's choice. She is not Nyle's choice, Mom. " I pointed at Janney.
" Enough! Enough you all. She and Nyle will get married. You want it or not. " Dad roared.
" I will not let this happen. What will you do, dear father? " I annoyed and challenged him.
" You brother will do this happily. I'm damn sure, you don't wanna see your mother signing Divorce papers. " he tilted his brows.
" No. " Mom cried with shock.
" How could you do this to her? " Nyle asked him.
" I'll not do it. If you'll do what I want. Marry Janney, That's all I want." Dad smirked.
" Never " Nyle assured him.
I beckoned Nyle to take mom to her room, " Yea, Sure bro. " He took away mom with him.
I gestured to Nance to take Shael in the room. Shael without questioning went with her.
" Janney, I wanna talk to my Dad alone. So......" She immediately agreed.
" She's not going anywhere. " he said in a high tone.
" It's alright, Mr. Browne. " She made her way.
When I was sure, I was alone with him, " I will not let this happen. You can do whatever you want. Nyle doesn't wanna do this shit. So he'll not. I don't give a damn what's your at stake. I hope you get me. " I patted his arm and left.
" Stakeee, Believe me you don't wanna know, what's at stake. " he told me in his normal tone.
My back was at him, " I'm not interested, what is going on in your life." I snapped.
" I will certainly tell you one day, but it's not the right time. Um, How's my daughter-in-law. I've come to know, she was sick. Not good son, " He put his hand on my shoulder. " I didn't teach you this nor you mother. Take care of your wife instead of poking your nose in your father's matter. " He sounded a little pissed off.
I missed my dad who he used to be, a loving father. " Your behavior has vacillated me, What's the matter. " I genuinely asked him with worry.
But he scowled in rage, " You couldn't marry my choice of girl, Don't make decisions on behalf of your brother." He frowned and went away.
I need to dig the matter. What has changed him so much. Maybe I can help. I thought.

I came back from the library. No one was visible in the house, in fact my wife was missing too. It tensed me. I passed from mom's room and all were there. I entered it. In my sight, everyone's facial expressions changed. Nyle had created a protection layer around mom, "
"What's going on? " I asked.
" I don't feel, Mom is safe here, with him. " Nyle said, pointing at father, eyeing me.
Shael was watching father without blinking as she's watching a horrible movie. Fear was overcasted her face, " What happened? Are you okay? " I worried.
She left her ground and went out without exchanging any word.
" I'll explain to you later bro. " Nyle placed his hand on my shoulder.
I followed Shael. She sat on a bench in the garden.
' He has red eyes. Would that! I could not explain this that what I have seen recently, is he a Vampire, monster or ghost? I think, it's high time, I should tell Guru about my secret. ' She thought.
Fu**! Red eyes, secret, What is she talking about?
She swiveled to face me. ' How she knows I'm around her. ' It perplexed me.
I could see the concern in her, " Can we go out, please. " she requested.
" We had discussed it. " I told her.
It made her sad. I can't see it, " Okay, we're going. But we'll be back soon. " I said.
" Oh, Thankheww " she nodded with a smile.
" Bro.. " I heard Nyle's loud screaming from the house.
I ran inside the house. I walked in the mom's room. She was lying unconscious on the floor. Nyle was beside her, " Mom mom get up mom. " he shouted with rage and tears.
I knelt down beside mom and Nyle, " Mom, What happened? " I eyed Nyle, taking my mom in my lap. I lifted her off the ground and put on the mattress.
" Your mom will sleep till your brother is not getting married to Janney. " Dad casually told us, as he didn't do anything wrong.
" How dare you? " I lost my temper.
" Ah, control your anger, son. You're making it worse for your mother. She can listen to us. You don't wanna disappoint her, Do you? " He smirked.
" Before I strangle you, get out of here. " I bellowed.
" Normalize yourself, son. You don't wanna frighten your wife. See, How scary she looks! " He mocked.
" Get out. " I clenched my jaw.
Nyle and Nance both were holding mom's hand and tears were falling down. I wrapped my arm around Nyle and put my second hand on Nance's shoulder, " We'll figure out something. " I told them. They nodded at once.
