The Day We Met

Sacrifice

'New! New! What happened?'

'Fuck!'

'What? What? Neww!'

'He is dealing with mafia's!'

'Forget it!'

'Why he has so many pictures of Tay. He is following him everywhere!'

'You know that already. He is trying to mess up with his business.'

'No that's not it! Something is off.'

'What??'

'He forged some documents! He is gonna send them to the media! He is going for Tay's reputation now!'

'But Tay's record is super clean, and his image.'

'That's why! He bribed a famous newspaper head to publish these garbage!'

'Don't worry it's all fake!'

'I am worried because public don't judge whether it's fake or not! They believe everything if it's entertaining. He even has fake photos of Tay and some random guy in a compromising position.'

'Oh!'

'He is trying to kill two birds with one stone. Tarnish his reputation and show me he cheated.'

'God! This man has no boundaries.'

'Let me handle this first. No one messes with my baby. I will show him what's real news looks like.'

'What are you gonna do? Just delete those and get out from there.'

'If I delete these he will make another one. That won't do.'

'Then?'

'I will call you later. I need to focus on something.'

'Are you crazy. Don't waste time! Get out!'

'Dad is having dinner with his associates. I have time, don't worry. I checked everything before entering.'

'New!'

'Once I am done I will call you and send you the location ok?'

'Stick to the plan this time! I can't help you with Tay anymore. He is a mess. Do you know he was unconscious for so many hours after finding out about your kidnapping!?'

'Unconscious?'

'Yes! Do you want him to get hurt more?'

'I....I...God! No! Ok... I promise I will finish this as soon as possible and get the hell out of here.'

'Promise?'

'Hmm. How is he now?'

'Stable but completely broken.'

'I didn't even say I love you to him properly before leaving. I regret it so much. I want to hear his voice right now.'

'Then hurry up and finish the job. Call me then and I will take you to him. Ok?'

'Hmmm sounds good.'

'Keep going then. Don't mess around.'

'I will call you in 5 mints.'

'Take care bro please.'

'I will.'

'But he never called back.' Dew is crying.

'Maybe the phone ran out of battery, so he couldn't contact you, don't lose hope.' Earth was comforting him.

'Tay.. Say something.'

'He looked more injured, his neck was bleeding. He.. He....'
I completely lost this time.

'Shhh Tay Tay..... Calm down, he is alright. Don't you worry.' Dew hurriedly hugged me.

'He called me after this?' Now I can understand his words.

'Yeah I guess. He was missing you badly.'

'That's why.... He said he knows I am not doing well.'

'Anything else? Some clue or anything?'

He said he loves me.

I thought about it. Was he worried that he can't say it to me later? I shivered.

'Hey,... What are you thinking?'

'Nothing. Why didn't he call back?'

'I don't know.'

'Should I inform the police?'

Suddenly the door burst open and Off came running.

'Did you see the news?' He was panting like a dog.

'What?' I was bewildered by his sudden appearance.

'THE NEWS!'

He turned on the TV.
