Chapter 440 - AWAKENING: PART III

At dusk, Cris was once again by his terrace as he looked at the setting sun. His house was located on top of the mountain and has it's own lake. His terraces was situated at the best spot giving him a clear view of the city below him and of course the nice lake. He hasn't been out of the house since he woke up from the accident and his father has forbidded him as well to go out in fear of his poor health. But he knows his father has other reason such as it was the best way to avoid him from meeting his grandfather. 

However, his been locked up for too long and could no longer wait till the day his father allows him to leave the house. He also wish to know what happened to his mother as well as his uncle and cousin. He's been trying to reach his brother who is his grandfather adopted who is a year older than him yet he too seems to be out of reach. 

"Master."

Cris turned around to see the maid holding onto a tray of water and his medicine as well. He looked unmoved to see the medicine she was carrying and was in no need for them at all. But it seems his grandfather is insensitive of him taking them and has ask help from the servants. 

He smiled as he looked at the maid, "Leave it there, I'll take it later." 

The maid nodded and left the tray on his desk and left without waiting for him to take it.

"I wonder what in you which is making me so sick in taking you." He grab the tablets without taking them but drank the water. He then went to the toilet as he flash the two tablets down the drain. He showed such disgust and irritated expression on his face as he watches it disappear in fron tof him. 

A few hours passes by, he started to fell exhausted again. It please him when every he felt like it was time to rest for he will always get to see the woman in his dream. It was such a pleasing feeling that he wishes he never have to wake up at all. 

As he step out of the room, the maid who brought the tray earlier step in to take the tray out. She did not question her master at all for she was assured he has taken them. So she thought…

'I wonder if they've known I've not been taking them?'

He wondered as he went to the bedroom to get some rest. 

Cris came out of the steaming bathroom all looking wet and fresh. His hair was still dripping as he went to his closet to dress up. He only had a towel covering his lower part… He upper part was so structure that one would think it was done by a master craftsman sculpted into perfection. 

As he picked out his night cloths, he started at the mirror and notice something he never noticed before. He never checked out his body so small decided would hardly be notice at all. But near the upper right side of his back shoulder he notice a faint scar. No one not notice it if they don't stare at it and since his skin was almost the same shade as it it was really not visible at all. 

'When did I get this scar?'

He was sure he has not scared himself at all. Also, he was in a car accident so such scar should not exist but it was only a few months ago. So, it should not have fade that fast. 

One again, another lingering question has appear. The more the day passes by the more he became curious of what's been happening whilst he was away. Has such happening happened without me knowing. 

Could I've been in a different accident yet they hide the truth from me?

Could this scar have anything to do with my mother disappearance?

So many question and yet they couldn't be answer at all. He has no one to question for one would not tell him the answer. He knows there are at least two people who he was a hundred percent sure knows everything. But with their power, he was sure they have put a price on everyone's head who will reveal something that shouldn't. 

He ignores everything for now for he has something more important to worry about and that is if he'll be meeting the woman in his dream again. He had this awkward smile on his face as he headed to his bed. Yes, he is a man indeed but such thoughts still embarrasses him. When he was young he was always surrounded by girls but the woman in his dream was different. She was touched and showed no interest towards him but he knows they have a very close and harmonious relationship. 

As he settled himself comfortable in his bed, he stared at the ceiling curiously of what dream he'll be having tonight. He had this smile in his dream as he imagine all the sort of thing he might be seeing in his dream. He just wish, that he'll get an answer of who the girl is in his dream.

Half way through the night, Cris has drifted off to sleep. He was sleeping so soundly but his expression was off which was clear he was not having a pleasant dream at all. 

"This is all your fault, if you never have taken her I wouldn't have…"

"You stupid child, you have been curse from the beginning and now you dare spread death to my family."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You only care about yourself and no one else… From the start you saw me you never took the chance to know me. As if you knew who I am."

"Stupid child, if I didn't know you I wouldn't have hated you.Since I know you that is precisely why I hated you and wish for you to stay away from my family. You only bring death to them." 

"I have never hurt your family but you are hurting mine. And I won't allow you to hurt those precious to me." 

"I can say the same thing, then I shall end this curse by ending your life." 

Cris who witnessing everything happening in front of him shouted as he run towards the woman and tried to protect her. But before he could make it, he heard a loud gun shot which eventually woke him up as well. 

"NO!"

He was covered in sweat as he awaken from his of the horrible nightmare. He was trembling in fright of what he just witness at the same time the voice of the other person in his dream sounded so familiar but he couldn't put his finger on who it was. He was sure that person was someone important to him as well. 

'Why did the other person sounded like grandfather?'

He was contemplating on his dream as he continue sitted on his bed. He couldn't explain as to why his grandfather suddenly appeared in his dream at the same time showed such hatred towards the woman he seems to be in a relationship with. 

As the clock tick by, Cris decided not to go back to sleep at all. He check the time by his bedside desk and notice it hasn't been an hour since he drifted off to sleep. He sighs heavily in despair as to why he had such awful dream. He had high hopes to meet the girl in his dream in a pleasing and romantic atmosphere. But who would have thought he'll soon see her but in such a displeasing situation at the same time his grandfather is involved. 

Seeing he couldn't sleep at all, he went to his reseving room where all his airworks are. He went to the desk and sketch the scene he just dreamt. 

In his dream, he dream of a person pointing a gun on the woman. He was not sure of who the person was but he fear that the woman in his dream die since he recall the woman was already covered in blood and was in no shape to fight back. Unlike the other person who was pointing a gun at him, she was only stood there glaring in shock at the person who appeared in front of her. 

With just that scene he finally notice something about the woman's facial appearance. 

'So she has blue eyes.' he thought to himself with a smile on his face. Even though he had a nightmare he was please with the result stil. For he was finally able to slowly picture out the woman in his dream. Which means, it won't be long when he finally be able to complete picture her out and soon know who she it. 

"Sooner or later, I'll soon find you."
