Chapter 149 - Her Henrieth Is Still Alive!

Ch-149

Chasina returned to her office with the strange parcel in her hands. The parcel is neatly wrapped in a brown cover. 

It looked good but something is strange about it. Just the presence of the box gives her a gloomy feeling. A part of her heart asked her to not open the box. But at the same time, another part said if you don't open you will miss out a lot. 

Chasina's heart could not help but beat hard. She is so nervous. She kept the box on the table and took a deep breath. Unknown to her, her hands started trembling. But something caught her eyes. She saw a seal in blue color. In her knowledge, she knew it was the seal of the presidential house. She clenched her fists when the realization hit her. She has a vague idea about the contents of the box. Something said that she will cry again if she opens the box.

Chasina couldn't help but open the box. Chasina unwrapped the box and saw a wooden box inside it. Her heart stopped beating. Chasina held onto a small hope thinking that Henrieth is stuck somewhere thinking that he will make it out in the long run. 

But that's all her wishful thinking. They even burned his body and mixed the ashes in the holy river which is flowing through their country which is reserved for the soldiers only. According to the Alvonia country, it's a tradition to mix the ashes of the dead person in the river. So, that their soul can reach the stage of Nirvana [1]. 

Chasina even accused them that it is not Henrieth dead body at that time. So, they even performed DNA to make her believe. But Chasina refused to believe her ears. But still a selfish part of trusting that Henrieth is still alive. She chose to deceive herself from the harsh truth.

In the meantime, in the past three months, she got hold of the contact information of Sir. Ambrose. She started messaging him daily asking about Henrieth's return. Chasina started deluding herself in the meantime. That everything is a dream and a lie. She started deluding herself saying that Henrieth went on a mission and that is a long mission he would return after many months. 

These three months she tried to distract herself from Henrieth a lot.

But can she distract herself? 

It's a love of three years. She didn't just take fancy to him she loved him with her whole heart. 

She doesn't want her family to worry about her. So, she couldn't move out. That's the reason she took over the charge of her company and started dealing with it. Using that as a reason she moved out.

Every night she spent her time looking at Henrieth's stuff. Only the presence of him and his things calmed her heart. Every night she slept while crying. She never showed her tears to anyone. 

She is involved with every small detail in the company. She tried her best to look after everything. She overworked herself. She pushed her body, brain everything to an end. 

But Sir. Ambrose Gabriel is adamant about breaking her delusions. He doesn't even show a bit of mercy. Chasina doesn't want to give up like this, she wanted to meet him. She messaged him that she will meet him wherever he is.

In five minutes she got a reply saying she could meet him at the white palace after two hours.

Chasina didn't even bother to check the remaining messages or calls.

The world around her suddenly turned dead. 

She kept her phone aside. She took a look at the box stifling the arousing pain in her chest. 

Chasina saw the shiny wooden box on her table. She traced the bo with her slender fingers. A bitter smile formed on her face. She couldn't help but remember how HEnrieth is a fan of wooden boxes. Everything he gave her would always present in the wooden boxes only that too his favorite type of sandalwood.

And now she is holding a box made of teakwood. The Henrieth family is originally involved in carpentry. So, he always liked the wood from his childhood. Their family used to store the most valuable things in a teakwood box. And t is a symbol for them it meant that storing the things in that box meant that is the most valuable thing in their lives. And this box will be given to the person for whom the box is meant to be given. And this will be passed only after the person is dead.

Chasina couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her hopes started fading. She felt that she is being so much of a mad person. An unknown glint passed through her eyes.

"No, My Henrieth is still alive!" She screamed and convinced herself that Henrieth is alive.

After that, she opened the box. The first thing she saw was a letter. Her hands trembled as she took the letter. She doesn't have the courage to read the letter further. But she wanted to read it and didn't want to read it. She is in a big dilemma. Chasina couldn't help but cry. The letter is enveloped in the black cover. That alone sight is enough to make her feel depressed. 

Chasina knew what was about to come seeing the letter. She had a feeling that it has a high chance of being his last words or will.

Suddenly she felt her body going weak. 

She kept the letter aside. She poured all the contents on the table. She saw everything belongs to her. Everything is hers. She knew that he must have followed her the whole after his fake death. 

She knew that he loved her. But she never knew that he followed her this much. She saw a hairband of her. 

She knew this hairband. Because on the day when she met up with him on the blind date she tied her hair in a pony. But she felt irritated with the pony. So, She tossed the hairband away and tied her hair into a bun. 

She didn't expect him to take that. 

Again she saw a stack of adoption documents of three children. She knew why he adopted them. Because he saw her adopting children. He also adopted three children. HE gave the transfer of the adopted child to Chasina. 

He gave a part of his family legacy to Chasina. He even added his will to that. He wrote that his shares can be only handled by her. And she cannot transfer back to his family. She can either sell them or donate them but cannot return them back to his family. She only has to look after them. 

Chasina couldn't be any more of a mess. She is crying like a mess. And there are a lot of things she still has to look at. She only saw a few things. 

Chasina decided to see everything instead of cowering away. 

Nirvana [1]: a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth.
