Twiddling his thumbs, Noah waited for Sophia as he catch a glimpse at his watch
resting on his wrist for the nth time. As yet, this is the considerable length of time she was taking to get ready. Partially, because this is the vary first time he was taking her out after their Ibiza fight.
At long lost, he espied Sophia descending down the numerous stairs, looking much more juvenile self of her than the last night, when she dressed herself in the maroon gown.
Today, she chose to dress herself in pastel coloured knee length skirt and a plain top. Sophia insisted on him to tell where they will be heading to, so she could accoutre correspondingly and the only inkling tumbled by him in return was to dress comfortably and a mysterious grin.
Approaching Noah in her small steps, Sophia looked at him with questionable gaze. Even after acquiring the clear indications, Noah spoke, smothering his smile.
"What a perfect weather to date. Shall we?"
Sophia glanced dumbstruck at his extended hand. Have he turned this imbecilic after a whole month of no-talking, no-seeing terms?
In any case, with sullen countenance, she took Noah's hand and walked out of mansion, following his lead.
"But more than this beautiful weather, lady in my arm is mesmerising, darling."
Noah looked at Sophia like a love struck teenager and almost immediately, crimson bloomed across her cheeks, turning her red.
Even after Noah's constant, never-ending flirts and their duration being in married life, Sophia still have not got used to his out of instance tease. Although not to deny, she wanted to know how she is looking.
Getting ride, they eventually reached their targeted place, and Noah walked Sophia in a park.
"I wanted us to have a simple date, a normal one."
Noah spoke as he walked her to the park's gate.
"You like simple thing, as you are."
Sophia smiled learning how Noah receives her attentively and pays attention to all the little things related to her.
Whiling away the unabridged afternoon in the park, having lunch, taking a walk by lake, feeding lovely ducks finally Noah drag Sophia to sit on the bench.
While sitting and looking at floating ducks and feeding them edibles, Noah cleared his throat catching Sophia's attention.
"Anything wrong?"
Sophia nudged Noah's shoulder to make him speak and encouraging him.
âI..â
Noah terminated midway not significant of how to narrate her the chronicles of past. He was not even sure to tell her or not, or is it the correct time to do so.
Anyhow, taking decision against his heart and it's Sophia's right to be aware of everything about Taylor's, he opened his mouth to tell her about their history. "My mother was never a loyal wife."
Out of instance listening to his voice telling about the past, that too about these kind
of past, caught Sophia unguarded. But like a good listener, Sophia kept her facial expressions devoid of any emotions and blank, listening to him with all ears, concentrated.
Noah turned his head to face the soundless lake before them and was instantly kissed by the cold breeze, carrying the message of gone by.
"Or you may say as I carried your obsession, my father did the same thing but the difference was, my mother loved someone else and my grandfather married her off to my father as he was big for money. "
Noah continued.
"My mother never gave up on him, her filthy lover and even he continued to show interest in her because of my father's wealth which she spent on him."
Sighing Noah continued as if this all tale has been weighing on his broad shoulders.
"This went on till I turned eleven. Even i was aware of her extra marital affair, constant fights going on in between my parents, my mother never caring for me, a man showing up always whenever my father was out of town.
"I never believed in love because that's the most fucked up thing I used to think. My father was obsessed with my mother, my mother obsessed with other man and the other man always lurking around our lives, all in name of love, while no one really loved or knew the vary meaning of it.
"A time came when my mother lost it and she eloped to that man, and particularly with no money. Enraged, that man called my father informing him about her elope and side by side acted happy in front of my mother.
"By the time my father reached the abandoned factory where he took my mother, my uncle also reached there and my father confronted her. He gave her two options either go with him and say goodbye forever to her lover or walk away out of our lives."
Noah sigh before continuing as if is digging some old corpse.
"My mother, as any one can pick a guess on, chose her lover over her husband, her own child. My father, loosing the last fight was about to back off the factory when her lover started to put accusations about how can he not give my mother the rights she hold or how can he say not to give a penny to her? He even tried to negotiate using me. He wanted me to be abandoned by my father along with my mother so that later on he can claim companies share using me. To be accurate he didn't wanted her if not for money and would like to discard her as if she is some piece cloth.
"it was all crystal clear and this got the worst of my father, mention of my name, his dearest possession. He was obsessed with her but he loved me, more than anything and thought of being separate from me shaken his foundation. Without having a second thought he took his gun out, silencing the man for good, forever.
"What my mother was not able to see beyond the thick cloud of her obsession was this man's true face. She begin to cry and haul for him and got charged up against my father. Holding knife of her late lover, she stabbed him."
There was long silence, sound of bird chirps, water movement, ducks quacks, all stilled.
"Not just once, or twice. But, for four times, in his chest, if not for my uncle, she would have stabbed him some more. Cleaning the crime scene my uncle took my father immediately to Emergency section, but he was long gone, just remaining was his cold shell.
"My uncle wanted to drag my mother to the court but because of my grandfather and to prevent family's name from getting further tarnished, and he never was able to seek justice for his brother."
Noah let out warm breath with a pinch of vibration in it. Sophia understood immediately, the pain his heart was feeling or was bleeding with cannot be described.
She wanted to console him, tell him that it was all in past, but was never able to, it might further traumatize him.
Noah again opened his mouth to continue but shut it down seconds later.
Sophia held his hands in her warm one before speaking.
"It's okay, you don't need to continue if you don't feel like for now."
Looking at her perfect angelic features, Noah smiled and held her in his arms.
"I was brought up by my uncle, and when I turned seventeen, I went on mother's search. With a hope that now she might have developed motherly love.
"but when I enquired my grandfather, I was informed she had a really bad break down after loosing the man she loved and herself committing the crime. She was not able to accept this as her fate and went insane. I was suggested not to meet her, but I was drawn towards her. You know after all she was my mother."
Sophia spotted a shin layer of moisture, which Noah tried to blink off.
"She recognized me."

A bitter smile curved Noah's lips.
"She recognized me as a murderer. Because my father chose me and killed her lover,
she went insane over the fact, unable to accept it and was under treatment for the same. She lost her sanity."
Sophia heard Noah's heartbeat, accelerated one. The agony and he must have felt, only he knew.
At last, Noah spoke concluding
"And she made an attempt to kill me."
There are different kind of loves, lovers, friends, family, but mother's love atop and surpass them all.
