Cheryl hugged her sister immediately, trying to control her sobbing. "I am sorry sister. I am really- really sorry. Please forgive me. Forgive me for everything, that I have ever done to let you down. I promise I will settle all this, and I will make you proud. I really, really will. I promise." Cheryl held her sister's hands lovingly, and looked directly in her eyes. "Today for the first time, I am not scared of looking in your eyes because I am speaking nothing but the truth." Cheryl smiled looking at her sister with detemination and immense love.
Sheryl could not believe her eyes. She was constantly looking in Cheryl's eyes as if she was seing somebody else. She had never seen Cheryl talk so maturely and yet so lovingly at the same time. Tears rolled down from their eyes and they both hugged each other for a very long time bursting into tears.
"You are not alone sister. Do not ever feel that way now. I am with you. After all this is over, we will live together under one roof. Ok?" Cheryl wiped away her sister's tears lovingly, smiling at her.
Sheryl smiled back and nodded in a yes. "But first we need to clear this mess and for that we need to confess before the Wilson and Lodge family."
Cheryl smiled back, extremely thankful to her sister. Her smile meant that she had forgiven her. "Yes ! let us go right now. Sooner the better."
"Oh, now is not possible. They all have gone for a family wedding that is why the kids are staying with me. They will come back after two days." Sheryl answered thinking carefully. "We need to stay in hiding till they return, it means. If the man is this determined to take revenge he must be soon on the pursuit of looking for you. Then my place is also not safe, if the man knows me. What should we do now?"
Cheryl pursed her lips in delimma, thinking of a way out. "I feel we first need to get out of here. We also have kids with us, I do not want anything to happen to them. He might also use the kids against us. I will hurry up and pack our bags, you pack the kids' bags quickly. We can decide on the way, about what to do next. Let's just get out of here first." Cheryl ran towards the wardrobe and started unloading few clothes from it. Shreyl thought for a second and immediately went to the living room, where the kids were sitting, playing. "Ok kids. We are going for a short holiday. Let us pack our bags fast."
"A holiday? Yayyyy!" The kids spoke in unison, excited to hear their aunt. They both immedediately got up and started handing over their stuff to Sheryl, who was quickly packing it in their bags.
After another fifteen minutes, the four of them were ready to leave the house. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they spotted the two same suited men, walking out of the elevator from the far end of the corridor. They both were busy talking to each other, as if involved in a serious dicussion.
"Oh shit! It is them!" Cheryl hushed. The two girls immediately picked up the kids in their arms, and ran towards the other elevator, situated at the other end of the corridor. Soon they entered the elevator and spotted the to suited men, constantly pressing the door bell of Sheryl's apartment.
"Whew! We came out right on time." Sheryl who had picked up the boy in her arms placed him down and heaved a sigh of relief. Cheryl too placed down the confused girl as they quickly walked inside the parking area of the building.
"Why are we running?" The cute girl in two ponytails looked at her two aunts in confusion.
"Oh sweety we are playing a game with our friends. The treasure hunt! We are now going to hunt for the treasure." Sheryl patted the girl's head as they all seated themselves inside Sheryl's car. Soon, the car moved out of the building and the two ladies heaved a sigh of relief, having successfully escaped from the two dangerous men for now.
"So what do we do now? We need to protect ourselves for two days, till the Lodge and Wilson family does not return from the wedding." Cheryl looked at her elder sister, who was driving at the speed of the lightening, towards the other part of the city. "I do not know. Maybe we check- in, in a hotel or something? Do you think they will be able to trace us if we stay in a hotel?" Sheryl looked at her sister, in doubt thinking very hard about their next move.
"The man has contacts. I really doubt if it is that difficult for him to get his team to call every hotel and confirm about our stay. We should not take the risk of revealing our identity." Cheryl pursed her lips, feeling immensely terrified now. Sheryl thought for a while and then immediately took a U- turn, going in the direction from where they came.
"Why are you going back?" Cheryl asked in confusion.
"I am not going back. But I have one place, where I know we all can stay safely for as many dats as we want." Sheryl immediately took out her phone and dialled a number. "Natalia! I sweety. How are you doing? Hope ou are enjoying the wedding." Sheryl had dialled her best friend and Raol's wife, Natalia's number.
Natalia who was currently sitting on the beach with rest of the family members spoke up with an equally ecstatic tone. "Hi Sheryl sweety. I am good. I hope the kids are not troubling you much?"
Raol who was lying on the beach chair next to his wife, was now listening to the entire telephonic conversation and was looking at his wife in curiosity. He offcourse liked Sheryl a lot, but hated her sister even more. So he had carefully instructed Natalia to not reveal their location to Sheryl.
"Oh! Not at all dear. We four are having a gala time together. Infact we were just heading to the wonderland and I was thinking of staying at your farmhouse for two nights. It is closer to the wonderland, so it would be a better option to stay their in case we get late at night." Sheryl spoke up, trying not to sound worried at all.
"Oh that is so sweet of you dear, taking the kids to the wonderland. Offcourse you four can stay their sweety. I shall tell he guards to open it up for you all. ... Ok.. Right.. Right. Bye sweety." After another five minutes of conversation, Natalia hung up the call.
Raol turned to look at his wife in confusion. "You four? Who is the fourth one with the kids?"
"Oh its Cheryl offcourse. The four of them are headed to the wonderland and will later stay in the farmhouse." Natalia smiled and then closed her eyes again, soaking the sun on the beach. Raol frowned in confusion. He knew Cheryl was not somebody who would go to places like wonderland and neither was she so much attatchd to the kids, like Sheryl. He now had strong doubts that something fishy was going on with the two of them.
