Previously on LR :
She read the text in shock, not knowing from where or whom it
came from. Surprised by suspense, that made the message feel like it was threatening
her. Who did she hurt or even bother? She always minded her own business yet it
kept her thinking. She obviously didn’t want to notify or let Hamad nor Talal
about anything surrounding this matter.
Getting home wasn’t much of an issue for her but thinking
about the message she got was getting on her nerves. She thought of using true
caller but she realized that the number that she had received the text message
with was a blocked ID. She couldn’t access it even if she wanted to.
The night was short yet felt long for them all. Both Talal
and Hamad were just sitting and cleaning up their mess after the party they
threw with little company they had. Crashing into the sofas they were tired to
even move to their rooms.
Getting about 3 hours of sleep before John woke them by mistake, The bell kept ringing and John was a bit late to get the door feeling that he had disturbed Talal and Hamad from their sleep. Talal woke up with red eyes from the tiring night and lack of sleep. He stood by John to see who it was.
A man with a yellow jump suit with a red logo on his chest, he read the imprint and it said DHL. He kept wondering that why would he have a DHL package delivered to him when in the first place he didnt order anything online. He signed the package and left it on the table.
"John, make sure you disable all the alarms and bells this house has I'm really not in the mood for any visitors of any kind today thanks. And do take the day off, you deserve it".
John nodded and did what he had to do.
After a long sleep without thoughts and alarms to bother, Hamad was the first to wake up, he saw the DHL package and wondered what it was, he lifted the package turning it both sideways and around. After showering he came down the stairs fresh and relaxed.
He found Talal sitting on the floor with the package wide open infront of him. He was silent. Hamad got closer and closer and began to speak.
"Are you going to play the mute one for the day?" said Hamad
Talal just sat there and didn't say a word.
He got closer and realized that what was in the package wasn't a new thing he had just ordered or even that it was from a brand or a reseller, it was something he knew and familiar to him. He sat slowly on the couch next to where Talal was on the floor. Looking at what was inside the box.
"Where did you get this from" asked Hamad
"I dont know. I just signed the package today early in the morning and I didnt ask where it came from. I dont think they would give that information anyway" replied Talal.
"Is this the same one ? Did you check it thoroughly ? It cant be the same one, let me have a look." said Hamad
Talal waved his hand giving Hamad the chance to inspect what was inside the package. He held it and examined it thorougly as the thinking in his head kept piling on him. Not thinking straight or even thinking at all. He didnt know what to say, left in shock.
It was a locket inside the box, the same one his lover used to have. The most precious one of her collection, Aisha's to be exact. He made sure it was hers because of the engraving left behind it, reading A&H forever.
He kept quiet for a minute and didnt decide to talk. He remembered that it was not a ordinary locket. Lockets are meant to carry something, a picture came on his mind. He opened it quickly that something fell out of it. A piece of paper landed on the ground.
He opened the paper and read ..........................
