Lethal

29. Can I?

Jk got out of the room and was about to go towards the kitchen when he got a call from JM to come to his room.

Jk sighed and went to his room. When he entered, he saw that everyone was there, including his parents which made his eyebrows knit together.

"Got the video" JM said and Jk's breath hitched. He folded his palm in fists and nodded to play the video. JM played the video and everyone took seats wherever they found one and those who didn't, they stood and some sat on the marble floor.

They saw how Rachel was always given the injections for several days. How bad she was looking, how weak she felt. How she would die for water and food as she wud only get once and rest time sleep.

But then they also saw the clip of the day when she smashed that strange guy's head on wall when he came to give her food as usual.

They saw how she screamed when her feet burned. How those guys grabbed her hair and dragged her inside. Everything.

Everyone gasped when they saw that Rachel killed Carlos's right hand man and how she fought those two guys holding her in that state. Jk's mother was even in tears after seeing her being electrocuted.

Everyone in the room gasped when they saw how she was drowned in water and tortured for hours. D fell on his knees, seeing his best friend go through all of that.

Jk's father couldn't believe his eyes. His wife also was kidnapped many a times by his rivals back then, but it wasn't this extreme, may be because they weren't this famous. But still, torture was there, but this? This was out of the books. It was no wonder that Carlos's mafia was one of the ruthless ones. And the fact that Rachel survived all this, made him realise that his son chose the best for him. No wonder, his son looked so whipped in his own way for her. She is a number.

"Wait, why did Carlos stop that?" V asked as he saw that Carlos asked his men to stop all the torture.

JM then played the clip of his office and showed the conversation between Carlos and his son which made Jk angry as fuck.

Jk slammed his fist in the wall, his knuckles were bleeding. The whole room was messed up, furniture was upside down. And the expression in Jk's eyes was not much unreadable. He was angry, period. But the what unexplainable was, was the look in his eyes.

People in room were dead silent and were busy in their own feelings.

Then JM played when Rachel was pushed in the room again by a woman. And how Stephan came hugging Rachel. Jk wanted to rip the throat of that guy but he controlled himself when he saw that Rachel didn't return the affection.

They saw how deadly Rachel fought, making them shiver in fear as well. Making note to themselves that not to mess with her.

"She can fight like that? She looked so fragile with kid-like voice, when she was introducing herself to us. She looked so innocent and flustered. What the hell?" Jk's mother expressed her surprise and his father's mouth was still gape open. His daughter-in-law wasn't stopping surprising him.

"And if I am not wrong, she said she was doctor right?" Jk's father asked, to which everyone nodded except Jk who was battling with himself.

Jk left the room with his bloody knuckles and literally ran to his room which was at the other side of the house. He opened the door in clash and didn't see Rachel at first, not in shower, not in wardrobe either. Then he opened the balcony and saw that she was sitting at the corner of the balcony on a chair, eating tub of ice cream while enjoying the view of the sunset.

He immediately pulled her up by force which made the ice cream fall on ground with the clattering sound of the spoon, into tight hug.

He pulled and kissed Rachel all over her face, near her head wound, all over the cheeks where she was slapped, her nose which had difficulty in breathing and hugged her again.

"Bunny? Are you okay?" Rachel asked softly but then she felt something wet on her neck and she pulled away in an instant

"Da hell, are you fucking crying? Jk? You okay? What happened? You are hurt? Where? Gosh, look at your knuckl-" but was stopped in mid-way when Jk joined their foreheads and shushed her.

"Angel...can I-I.." his breath shuddered and it sent shivers all over Rachel while their foreheads were still attached.

"I really, really, really want to...kiss you" last two words barely came as whispers but it was enough for making her eyes widen like plates.

"Can I? Please" Jk asked and Rachel heard his pleading. She bit her lips and nodded. And in nano seconds her lips were covered by Jk's. He pulled her closer by the back of her neck while his other hand joined their bodies while snaking his arms around her slim waist. Rachel's hands instinctively tugged at the back of his hair while tilting her head, giving more accessible position to devour each other. Her one hand was perfectly fixed on his jaw for better hold.

That kiss was no simple touching of the softest flesh but it was like communication for them. They both were expressing their feelings by giving their taste to each other, leaving all the struggles and pain in past, at least for that very moment. They let everything around them blur into oblivion, just embracing each other, reassuring each other that both of them are together. No words just action, simple, sweet yet full of passion and agony.

The sun setting at the back was witnessing their own moment which consisted only them and no one else, nothing else. It was taking all the pain and sufferings with him and let them warm each other, beneath the stary night. Moon giving them the spotlight, putting everything around them in darkness, leaving their souls together to unite for one and all.

They may have not said any magical words to each other but the magic was around them for sure. They were in their own fairy world which of course wasn't meant for forever. Far away from the world in which there was no Kingpin, mafia, doctors or anyone else just them. Nothing is forever, they knew it, everyone knows it, but now everyone knew that were each other's nothing.

They both were changing, evolving, pieces were getting broken but were being mend too. They may break each other sometimes but they seem to pick each other's pieces and hold it back together too. The journey is maybe difficult and tiring, but they were nevertheless walking on the path.

One was born in this world, one was dragged in his world, but they did find their home in each other. Their bodies knew, their soul knew, only their heart and brain has to realise. Maybe heart did but brain was yet to respond it.
