_______________________________________

Narrator point of view

After the fight and her conversation with number 9 she decided to catch the next subway to London making her back to the mansion on her way she bandaged herself in the washroom and changed her clothes , still thinking about what she going to do after reaching the mansion her bruises were quite visible she sighed and turned her mobile when it chimed from a notification from John When you will reach home it's quite late and the weather is chilly too give me a call or message I will come to pick you up . She scoffed and typed in a polite manner after sighing and taking a look at people around her some dozing off , some chatting to their friends, some on call with their parents it made her feel sad all those memories flashed on her mind as she felt tears stinging in her eyes threatening to slip not wanting to be the source of attention she moved from her seat and stood in front of the gate watching closely her tired yet proud reflection staring at her for once in all those years of hardships advira was able to maintain eye contact with herself she smiled looking back at the girl who was once ready to give it all up and now fighting for all that was left . As the train slowed down the speaker buzzed with the robotic voice of the announcement she took off the train and watched the gates as it gets closed reflecting on her day and her decisions she can't back down now , this time she was burning like a fire ready to consume everything that comes in her way with a determined look she looked upward to the display board of the station:- London she smiled and said a silent prayer her lips no longer quivering from fear and disgust her eyes shining with a new light and her will as strong as a howling waves of the sea , her smiles reached her eyes as she put her phone away in her bag feeling for the first time how light weight the phone was , her shoulders bend with the years of torture and trauma standing proudly she stood tall amoung the moving crowd and she looked around once again taking the beauty of the city she never had the time to explore for the first time this city had given her some hope to cling onto and she was not ready to let this hope go anywhere anytime soon . Moving with crowd she made her way out of the station and called a taxi as the tyres screeched halting in front of her she opened the gate and sat comfortably in the car taking as much space she wanted she place her head on the window

soft breeze flowing through her hairs calming her nerves reminding her of her mother's oil passage and those sweet memories with her family she closed her eyes and let herself feel all those emotions she was suppressing for so long , the taxi driver a kind old man noticed the girl napping and smiled ( this was the same guy who met her earlier) and they both engaged in a little heart left conversation when the old man show her the pictures of his grand children advira couldn't help herself from smiling and told him that they are cute , after a few minutes they reached off blocks before the mansion and Advira decided to get off here itself and thanked the driver after paying him the fare and left . On the other hand John was feeling anxious about advira though Leo told him she would be home soon but she didn't tell him the exact time and that she had some personal stuff to take care of but John was feeling a kind of tug at his heart , the weather was chilly and it was almost midnight shaking his head on numerous negative thoughts that clouded his mind he took out his car keys and was about to leave when the backdoor creaking noise caught their attention and Advira came out, seeing the John and Leo together and up at this time her heart started involuntary beating awfully loudly in her ribcage her heartbeat drumming in her ears as she concentrated at both the Hudson standing in front of her looking at her with relief which only confused her further . John smiled and moved in her direction hastily and stopped midway noticing a flash of terror pass in her eyes and the slight involuntary tremble of her hands which she desperately tried to hide he stood at a respectful distance and began talking to her as if he almost wanted to hear her voice which he did after her truth came out of John he had started feeling a tug of warm pull at heart whenever she talks to him , it feels surreal to hear but her voice though frail and low while conversing with him always light up his mood for the entire day no matter if that's her one word or just a nod . He had started to take a strange liking of her presence around him . Soon he began talking to her .
