Chapter 4 - Devilic - Angel.
Chapter 4 - Devilic - Angel.
Just one name of a particular city and all heart wrecking memories came running in her memories, making her realize their existence in her life. Letting her know that they are those forbidden snippets of her life that she can never forget or delete from her life.
Jingling City! The city that made her realize the most bitter truth of her life. Made her realize that twenty long years of her life was a complete waste, where no matter how hard she worked or whomever she loved she had lost them in just a blink of an eye.
The people whom she held precious to her heart never thought her to have any value in their life. That was the time, she was living in the world of illusion which she has built herself around her.
Jingling City was the place where she lost her faith in life and God. A place where her dreams and career were trampled over by her own people. She lost everything that she had earned with her hard work and dedication.
Though these five years have lessened her fear of trusting others, and brought back her faith in God and people around her but still her dreadful nightmares every night never stopped.
The face of her younger sister whom she had lost there never faded away from her memories. She still remembered how she was murdered by the mindless people who never acted on real truth rather believed the rumors running in the air.
And now her fate was again taking her to the same city. Why did God be so heartless to her? She thought. That was the last place I would ever think to move. Only its name was enough to make her shiver out of her fear.
But now she has to move to work there. To give her angel a better future to live and also to make her wishes come true.
After giving much thought to this, she still can't make up her mind to allow her to go back to the city where all her nightmares began.
She looked at the manager who was herself surprised to find no happiness for being transferred to such a good place as promotion.
"Will it be okay, if I can get transferred to some other city. I don't think I will be able to manage a life in such a high end city. You already know how expensive a life is there", Li Xue said as she looked at the manager with her expectant eyes.
"If your reason to reject this offer is an expensive life there then let me tell you the details of this promotion. You will be getting a fully furnished flat there laced with all facilities, a car to drive and also a package of salary that will be enough to feed a family of four. So yeah I agree that the city is quite expensive but it won't be that expensive for you", the lady with big glasses said adjusting her glasses over her nose.
The manager didn't give her any hints through her expression. Her face held a doubt on her words as she looked at the young beautiful woman sitting in front of her. She knew Li Xue was from the same city and she also had an air of the reason for her fears.
"Dear, I know what you are thinking. And you also know that I have always seen you as someone close to my family, more like a daughter I never had. Running from your fear and nightmare will never help you. You have to be strong to face them. Not only for yourself but also for the little one, who takes you as her role model. Do you want Li Wei to learn this? Become a coward who will run away from her fears rather than face them"
"…" Li Xue didn't know how to reply to these words. She has always wanted everything best for her daughter, whether it be life, learnings or the morals to lead the life. ?There is no way she would want her to learn to be a coward.
"There is no hurry. You have got a week to think. Think it carefully and then decide. And it has always been five years since that incident. You have changed, your goals are changed and your life has changed. Take this as an opportunity to move on. You are still young, you can still find someone to share your life with", the manager said looking at Li Xue's beautiful young face.
It was really something God had mistaken. Such a kind, beautiful girl who really deserves the world's every happiness was deliberately forced to take a lifeless life where all her reasons to live were snatched away. She still remembered her face from 5 years ago.
The face that was colorless and eyes that were lifeless. As if there wasn't a heart inside her that was pumping blood into her body and beating to let her know that she was still alive.
The only hope of light that brought her soul back to life was the little angel God had sent to her.
Li Xue was still in her thoughts when she felt her phone vibrating in her bag. She was snapped back to her presence.
She pulled her phone out and looked at the manager to get the humble permission. "Go on, take the call and let me hear what that angel has done this time. It must be from her school", The manager said with a smile on her face.
Li Xue often receives the calls from Li Wei's school, complaining about her being an excessive smart child who always makes teachers speechless with her reasons and facts. Last to last day, before the weekend, the teacher complained that the little girl's questions have made the teacher go out of answers.
She didn't know if she should praise her daughter for being so intelligent or whether she should cry on her devil brain which gives her ideas for being such a naughty girl, whose adorable face won't allow you to scold her.
She received the call and the voice on the other side instantly spoke, "Ms. Li Xue! Sorry to bother you again but Li Wei has made a girl cry in the class. Will it be possible for you to come for some time? Our principal wants to have a conversation with you"
'Made someone cry in the class. What has this girl got in her pocket?', Li Xue thought, rubbing the skin between her brows.
"Okay give me half an hour. I will try to reach there as soon as possible", she said and then disconnected the call.
"Our girl is really something. Last day she made her teacher cry out of her wits and now her fellow classmate and the principal too. I think you should hurry; I want to know the story. Do give the updates" The manager said clapping her hands in excitement.
"She is a devil under the skin of an angel. That's the reason I call her 'Devilic – Angel'. Brain of a devil and face of an angel", she said more to herself and then hurried her way to the school.
