After driving for 2 hours ,Eric was feeling a little hungry and then he look beside him and saw Maya deep down in her thoughts,he can see the visible tears wetting her cheeks ,she was crying,she closed her eyes and tears were falling continuously from her eyes ,she sniff a little and keep her eyes closed,then he look at Henry through car mirror and saw Henry sleeping soundly,he sigh and again focused on driving he was trying to find excuse to divert her but I was out of ideas
After an half hour drive he saw Maya looks at him
MAYA: You hungry..?(She said without any emotion in her ,she wasn't the Maya he was expecting to see but deep down he wants the old Maya back and he is doing all of this just to get back his relation with his son and to do some kindness with his friend who is apparently his only friend)
He didn't said anything just nodded his head and then tried to find some cafe or restaurant to get some food from there and after a little minute of drive he spot a cafe he stopped the car at side and went inside to buy something for them ,hr bought some sandwiches and 2 coffees for him and Maya along with chocolate milkshake for Henry ,after getting his order ,he came back and gave Maya her order which was coffee and a sandwich ,she took it without even looking at him ,he went to backseat and tried to wake Henry
ERIC: Henry.. wake up…(while waking him up Eric feel nostalgia,the way he woke up Henry before when they were with Lara, which made him feel little uneasy,he greeted his teeth and without his know his grip on Henry's arm tightened by feeling the pressure and pain Henry woke up while crying in pain)
HENRY: Ahh!!!Dad.. it's hurting (by hearing his voice he came back to his senses , while was just sitting there confusingly looking at both of them,Eric remove his hand and gave his things to him and again went to his seat and starts driving while taking sips from his coffee)
After some minutes he noticed that Maya didn't have anything
ERIC:Why aren't you having something?(he said in almost a whisper but instead of answering she looks away which makes him angry but he ignored that)
After 15 minutes of driving they finally reached the farm house.When they entered Maya noticed Eric's nervous behavior. He was tapping his fingers in the steering wheel and was biting his lips while Henry was looking so excited
After entering the farm house,he opened the door and came out of the car,Henry also quickly went out of the car but before doing anything else he opened the door for Maya and gave his hand for her hold ,Maya just smiled at little angel's gesture and also came out of the car
HENRY: Yaayyyy!!!(Henry jumped excitedly and ran inside as if he knows everything around farm house)
After reading confusion on Maya's face Eric said
ERIC: It's not his first time here …(Maya just nodded at him when they both heard an old lady's giggle and then they saw a figure coming towards them ,who was middle aged women,she hurriedly ran towards them and hugged Eric)
Maya saw Eric smiling but he was looking confused,Then she broke the hug bit before she could say something Eric said
ERIC: Why are you here Aunt Daisy??(he asked coldly)
DAISY: So where would I be??(she said while pinching his nose) Why is my baby looking so pale huh…(she was so busy and happy by seeing Eric that she didn't see Maya standing beside him) Where is Lara..(she said but when she looks beside Eric she was little taken aback and Eric make fist to control his anger)
DAISY: Oh..dear sorry..I didn't see you..umm..(she looks at Eric confusingly to introduce me)
ERIC: Why didn't you leave from here..when I asked everyone to leave (He asked with anger and coldness)
DAISY: I can't..I was waiting for you..how can I leave the place where I have worked for my whole life (she said lovingly) Umm..you are…(she looks at Maya )
MAYA: I'm..Mia…
DAISY: Mia..nice name dear..umm now can I know where Lara is..(she asked excitedly making Eric more angry)
ERIC:Why are you even here when I told everyone to leave this fucking place long ago (He shouted and then went inside)
Maya was really confused when Eric was nervous entering here now she knows why he was nervous and the way he acted so coldly with her ,she sighs and was about to say something when Daisy breathed heavily and said
DAISY: Umm…Why is he so angry..(Maya was about to say something when Henry came back towards them)
HENRY: Let's go inside bear.. aunt..you too ..(He said excited and then grab her hand Maya was still feeling difficult to walk properly)
When they enter they saw no one in the main room
DAISY: You can go to this room (she said while pointing at the room In Front of them,she nodded without looking at them and quickly went inside)
She shut the door and sat in bed ,her one hand was still plastered she put her unharmed hand on her mouth trying to control her scream,she is breaking more and more inside her ,she was controlling her emotions in front of everyone specially her father ,and now she is alone and crying her heart out
