Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

“Hi, Jacob!”

“Falak? Just a minute.”, He said, and after a while, he continued. “Sorry, I was still sleeping. How are you?”

“I’m good. Thank you. I want to meet Klaus. Can you share his address with me?”

“Klaus?”

“Yeah!”

“Oh, I thought I was dreaming that part.”, He muttered more like he was talking to himself.

“Where’s he? And how’s he?” I asked, recalling he was crying last night.

“He’s not doing well, according to my uncle. He has locked himself in the room, and you know his temper…. no one is trying to approach him.”

That didn’t sound good.

“But I’m sure that you can handle him.”, Jacob added. “Share me your address. I will take you near him.”

“Oh, okay!” I said, and I gave him the hotel we were staying in. After disconnecting the call, I turned toward dad. “Dad, are you coming with me?”

“What do you want?”, He asked. “I didn’t want to stay away from you even for a second, but at the same time, I don’t want to interfere in your life if you don’t want to.”

“It’s nothing like that. I would love it if you would come with me.”

We took Jacob’s private jet to reach Sydney and within one and half hours. I was at that place where I had the worst memories of my life, but then, looking at the bright side, Klaus was in my life because of this city. I was glad that dad was by my side because his presence was helping my mind to relax. We reached Klaus’s place, and I couldn’t help but gasp, looking at his mansion.

If I was not wrong, then the whole mansion was in the space of two-three kilometers. If anyone would park his or her car at the main gate, then he or she would have to walk more than one KM to reach near the main entrance of the mansion.

I didn’t know he was THIS rich.

No one stopped us or asked about our identity, maybe because Jacob was with us.

“What kind of work do you do, young man?” Dad asked, looking around the mansion.

“We have invested in the field, but our major profitable business is the Auto-Mobiles and Electronics sector, Sir.”

“I mean to ask about illegal business!”

Shit!

I didn’t think about that!

God, what if dad was the type of person who would never give his daughter to the man involved in all these things?

I remembered Klaus saying that his uncle was involved in the Mafia.

“Sorry, sir. I can’t disclose that to you, but my brother is not involved in any type of illegal business.”, Jacob replied. “Falak, Klaus’s room is in the first room. Take a left turn and the last room.”, He said, on which I looked at him in confusion.

Wouldn’t he be taking me to his room?

“I will be accompanying sir to the library.”, He added, on which I looked at Dad. He just signaled to GO. I nodded and left from there. All of a sudden, I started feeling nervous while walking toward HIS room. I played nervously with my pendant at every step of the stairs.

Breath IN, Breath OUT.

Breath IN, Breath OUT.

After taking the left turn, I started walking toward the last room. Immediately the room which was in the second number opened, and a girl came out from it. I wouldn’t have recognized her until my gaze landed on her small bump.

‘She’s the one.’, My mind said. I was glad to find out that they didn’t share a room together.

“Sorry, you are?”, She asked, raising her brow.

“I’m Falak.”, I said, not knowing whether she would have any idea about me or not? What if Klaus would have never mentioned my name in front of her or not!

What if he wouldn’t have? How would I explain myself? Who was I to her…her husband?

“So, you’re the one.”, She said. So she knew about me. We both stared at each other, not knowing what to say? What if she was among those women who warned other females to stay away from their husbands. “What are you thinking so hard? Go ahead, tell me to mean things like ‘stay away from my boyfriend,’ ‘I can never have him’, ‘Soon he will kick me out of his life’, etc…etc.”, She said and crossed her arms around her chest. My eyes again went back to his stomach.

“Which month?” I asked a question that was totally out of the syllabus.

“Excuse me?”

I pointed toward her small bump. “Which months?”

She was taken back after understanding what I had just asked. She opened her mouth and then closed it. After a while, she replied. “Going to complete thirteen weeks after two days.”

“Oh, please take care of yourself because, unlike what I have heard, your face is not glowing at all even though you’re pregnant.”

“Hmm. I will.”, She nodded.

“I will catch you later. I have to meet Klaus.”, I said, trying to leave from there. “I hope you won’t mind meeting him.”

“Oh, not at all.”, She responded. “Just stay safe. I mean, he’s not in a good mood.”

“Thank you for the concern.”, Saying this, I left from there. When I realized Klaus’s door was locked from inside, I looked around and found Angela still standing at her door?

‘What happened?’, She signaled.

‘Keys?’ I responded by showing her my hand.

‘Wait!’, She signaled back and took out her mobile to call someone to bring the spare key.

When I entered, everything was dark. All the curtains were down. Didn’t he at least put the lights on? I took out my phone and turned on the flashlight, and it took me a while to adjust my eyes to the light. It was not only the room that was in the dark, but all the furniture and the color of the room were in black and gray shed. I could never think of staying in this type of unhappy room. It was giving negative and dark vibes.

I was careful with every step because I didn’t want to cut the arch of my leg because of my carelessness.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

No doubt Klaus had changed the look of his room by breaking each and everything in his room.

“Falak?”

Klaus was sitting on the floor next to the bed. He looked like a wreck; he had worn the same cloth which he had worn last morning. I even doubt that he took a bath yesterday. He had a dark circle under his eyes, and his hair was a mess. When I walked up to him, his gray eyes were filled with surprise. I crouched down in front of him and whispered, “Klaus!”

He reached his hand to caress my cheek, and I could see in his eyes that he was checking if I was for real.
