From A Stranger | ✓

12 August 2014

As I was getting ready to go to the hospital, I heard a loud noise outside my door. I rushed downstairs to check what was wrong. 

When I opened the door, I saw two kids playing with the stone and one of them had broken a window of my house. 

"Hey uncle Jeremy! How are you?"

They rushed towards me and gave me a hug.

DISGUSTING. 

There is no better word to explain my true feelings at the moment. I shoved them away.

"What uncle, hun? Stay away from me. And look at this; who did this? Who broke my window?"

As I was about to hit one of the kid, the postman came in my way with a big grin highlighting his wrinkles.

"Move away, you old slouch figure!"

"Here is your letter sir."

Letter? Oh yes! The letter.

He took out the envelope and handed it to me. As soon as I saw the envelope and the writing on it, all my anger faded away. I took the letter and walked back to my house.

Today it had a photograph and a key chain.

Dear Stranger,

Guess what? I finally got a place to live. And you know what the best part is? It is the same house which you and me both adored. It's the one in the photograph. Remember you promised that we'll build a similar house? I am so happy that I got to live in this place. The owner of the house is an old lady and she is so sweet. She reminds me of my mother.

It is a bit difficult for me to live here as I wanted to share this place with you. But never mind. I know you'll join me soon. We'll have loads and loads of fun! 

I met your mom again and stranger I don't know why but I feel something is so wrong. Her eyes were red and swollen as if she'd been crying for quite a long. I hope she is alright and so are you. 

I am worried for you J... stranger. 

I wish I could hug you right now and cry out loud.

Anyways, take care.

I love you and you know that.

Yours 

Emily

I seriously need to go and see the doctor.

Hello everyone! I am so thankful to everybody out there who is reading this book. It's just been 3 days that I started writing this and I have already made it to the What's hot list and plus the current ranking of the story is 417 in Short Story. Continue to give so much love and support.

As far as the book is concerned, this chapter was a bit revealing one as it had some facts about Jeremy's past though nothing is clear.

You'll get to know soon what is the truth behind all this. 

Also I have changed the time span from 6 months to 4 months. 

Thank you!
