Finally

Uncle Maxwell and Robin set their feet in Burlsdon at 2:30 pm when sun is at its peak and the rays of sunlight feel as if they are burning the skin and they readily hire a Taxi to head their way to Saim's house. She feels slightly cheerful but keeps suppressing it within herself for the reason that she remembers the entire route to his house very well. As soon as they approach the gate of that castellated building and knock on the door, a servant arrives and welcomes them while opening the wide gate.

"Where is Saim?" She abruptly puts forward a straight question.

"Sorry ma'am! He is not at home but I can send him your message if you … " Servant replies humbly but Robin interrupts him as she is in a great hurry.

"Where are his parents?"

"They are in!" He gives a brief reply, observing her hastenated accent.

"Inform them about our arrival and kindly ask them to arrive at the gate please." She retorts with the same swift accent.

The servant goes in after giving a brief nod and arrives back within a minute with Mr. John.

"Hey Robin! How are you? Is everything okay? Please come in, Sir!" Mr John greets them respectfully.

He gives a firm handshake with Mr. Maxwell and asks him to come in.

"Uncle, where is Saim?" She swiftly asks him without wasting a single minute.

"He went to Ying, yesterday!" He replies briefly while curiously observing her worried accent.

"Ying? But why?" She becomes agonized.

"He didn't tell me the detailed reason but he has gone to meet one of his friends. He was in a great hurry and seemed worried. He told me that he was urgently going and all of his friends were going to gather there but as I told you he didn't mention the reason." He explains in a detailed manner.

"Did he tell the name of his friend, who dwells in Ying?" She puts forward another question.

"I think you don't know his name but only one of his friends has his residence in Ying!"

"I think I know, please let me know!!" She insists on him.

"Tim!" He readily mentions his name.

"Oh! Would you please explain to me the entire address of his house?" She asks requestly whereas Mr Maxwell keeps staring at her and observing her eagerness and worry to find him out.

"Yeah sure! Please come in and have a seat! Such a respectable man is still standing at my door." He responds respectfully while pointing at Mr Maxwell.

Mr Maxwell refuses politely by stating the reason that they are in a hurry. Mr. John explains to them the detailed address and Mr. Maxwell notes that very carefully. After he has told, he again asks them to come in and have a cup of coffee at least but they refuse and head their way to Ying. They soon leave Bursledon and reach Ying within an hour and 30 minutes, nearly at 5:00 pm by train. As soon as they hire a taxi, they follow the address told by Mr John and finally reach their destination.

Staring at the door, she inhales a deep sigh then steps forward to knock on the door but suddenly Mr. Maxwell's phone rings and he walks a bit aside to receive the call. She glances at him for a while then turns back to the wooden door.

As soon as he receives the call, he hears Allen speaking swiftly on the phone, "Uncle Maxwell! Hope you are doing well, Sir! According to the information, he is found as an innocent citizen with no crime history yet. The name on his national identity card is Heartless and he migrated to Cambia a few years ago but I didn't get enough information about his past and even nothing about where he migrated from. I also think that this identity card is fake. Well…"

Mr. Maxwell interrupts him straight away, "Listen, Allen! At the time of the murder of my friend, only Ritcher was present there with Robert and he was not there! Heartless, or whatever his actual name is, is not the actual murderer of him. I take my words back about Robin's kidnapping as it was not true obviously. Find where he is right now! And listen… save him!"

"Sir!...Oh! Okay, fine! Have a nice day!" Allen becomes amazed over his decision and cuts the call humbly while committing that he is going to follow as per his command.

He turns back to Robin and finds her still knocking on the door. He assists her and gives a violent brief knock which leads the resident to finally open the door.

"Hey! Who are you?" She asks with slightly astonished expressions.

"I think this question would suit me better!" Smartie retorts with his brow raised up, as he opens the door.

"I mean, It is Tim's house. Isn't it? And I know very well that you don't seem like Tim?" She retorts while curiously gazing at him from his head to toe.

"Oh! Please don't say that you are Robin?" He retorts with irritation.

"Umm… Yeah! I am!" She responds with mild hesitation.

"You must go back!" He shouts aloud and closes the door violently.

"Hey! Listen to me! Stop!" She speaks in a high pitch but is left ignored.

Smartie has not seen Mr. Maxwell yet as he has been standing at the side who raises his eyebrows in anger over his ill-mannered misbehavior.

Robin becomes a little bit angry too but unwittingly lets a number of tears shed away from her eyes and she begins to continue knocking on the door more violently.

,"Hey you rude guy! I just want to meet him once! Who are you to stop me from meeting him once!" She screams aloud with anger in a quavering voice.

As Tim's father, Mr. Peter hears her voice, he becomes astounded and angry over such ill-mannered behavior and asks them to open the door swiftly. Tim turns his eyes at Smartie angrily and moves his wheelchair briskly towards the door but Mr. Peter opens the door as he reaches first.

As soon as the door opens, Robin becomes entirely silent and is left sighing. Mr. Peter greets them respectfully while firmly shaking hands with Mr. Maxwell passes a pleasant smirk then asks them to come in.

Saim, Sunnie and Tim greets Mr Maxwell respectfully and says sorry for Smartie's disrespectful act. Mr Peter turns his eyes at Smartie, peering him to say sorry to him which leads him to speak sorry in a low regretful voice.

Meanwhile, Tim speaks in a low and polite accent with a mild smirk over his lips whereas Mr Peter walks away to ask the servant to serve the refreshment for them,

"Sir Maxwell! You seem to be an honorable and respectful businessman, perhaps, therefore you considered him as an unrespectable criminal."

Robin sits on her knees, closer to Tim and speaks,

"Where is he? Tim, you are one of his closest friends and a very kind man, kindly tell me about where he is right now?" Mr Maxwell glances at her then turns his eyes away and seems decisive within his mind.

"But my kindness is useless in this case. In fact, he was very kind to you too but you didn't realize and punished him instead."

"What? How can you say that? What do you think? Don't you know what he did with me? I was totally dependent upon him. I trusted him a lot but he left me… He left me alone in the darkness… even though he knew that I believed in him more than myself. He promised that he would never leave me. He committed that he is with me forever. And if you are talking about my uncle, you don't know how kind and patient he is! He helped me a lot to reach here. He has been continuously traveling by train for the last two days only to find him." She becomes enthusiastic and begins wailing with her face soaked with tears.

"What? Did he leave you? You are the one who left him, not him! He is still with you, missing you!! He became mad for you! I saw him in such a weird and strange condition for the first time in my life." Smartie loses his temper and bursts into a scream.

"You impolite guy! You shut the door and didn't let me in! Would you please like to tell me where he is right now! I will talk to him myself."

Smartie turns his face aside with a deep exasperated sigh.

"Tim?" She turns to Tim questioningly.

Tim reacts with lowering his head regretfully.

"Saim!" She softly calls his name as if she is requesting him but he remains quiet and doesn't react with anything.

She turns her eyes at Sunnie but he lowers his head too, sorrily.

"I thought that you were innocent! I forced him to be kind to you but … "

Robin becomes irritated, "Would anyone please like to tell me what the sin have I done!"

"Actually! …"

Mr Maxwell's manly voice flashes up the entire common and attracts everyone's concentration who continues after taking a deep sigh,

"The problem is … none of you know what has actually happened … Robin! When you took the suitcase from me, I sent Allen behind you to chase you because I was worried about the safety of the suitcase! Allen called me on phone to that stadium when he saw the firing and bomb blasting. When I reached there, you were shot and fell down over the ground. Heartless was helping you to stand up but Allen and I thought that he got the suitcase by cheating on you and killed your father too! That's why Allen gave him anesthesia and he became unconscious. As he was holding you, he did not get the chance to avoid him and fell absolutely unconscious. Whereas Allen and I took you with us!"

"What?" She exclaims while letting herself kneel down as if she has lost the strength whereas everybody becomes astonished.

"Uncle Max, why did you do so? And me! How mad I am! I was still thinking that he betrayed me. He ran away and left me all alone when I was crying for help!" She adds in a quavering voice, catching the attention of everyone else.

"I thought that you were unsafe with him. I wanted you to stay away from him! Afterall, we were tangled with the misunderstanding that he killed your father and he tried to grab your suitcase too. We didn't know what was happening behind the scenes."

"What?" She lets out a low exclamation along with her tears.

"And my innocent friend was fallen all alone in the stadium… between fire and dead bodies!" Tim adds in a soft voice.

"Police came and arrested him for the reason that he tried to kidnap an innocent girl and killed the person who came to save her and that might be your one and only caring cousin Ritcher!" Smartie adds in an ironic accent.

"By the mercy of God! His actual name has not been known yet and hence …" Sunnie tries to speak but is interrupted by Saim.

"This is enough that he is arrested… he is in a prison… he is behind the bars for the very first time in his life and very soon… sssss" He is left unable to complete his sentence out of pain.

Smartie reacts very angrily while shouting aloud, "Only because of you! He is arrested for the first time in his life!! And can be announced … very soon …"

"What will happen very soon? What do you mean by VERY SOON?" She asks curiously with worried expressions.

"Death Sentence!" He calmly states.

"What? She exclaims with deep sighs as if her throat is choked. "Uncle Max! Please do something! I want to meet him. Tiger!"

Mr. Maxwell moves closer to her and hugs her firmly. All four friends become silent and lower their heads sorrily. After a few minutes have passed, he says

"I have pushed you into trouble and I will myself pull you out of it!"

Everybody turns their eyes at him with astonishment.

"What will you do?" Saim asks in a low voice.

"Would you please tell me the number of that police station branch, address of that police station and the name of the police officer too."

Smartie abruptly tells the address and the police officer's name. Mr. Maxwell goes fastly but Robin stops and asks him to go with him.

"Don't you want to go with us to meet him?" Tim offers her.

Actually, the anger of all four friends is turned into endearment, affection, and pity for her. She looks at Tim with a noble, polite smile. Mr. Maxwell becomes satisfied and hence leaves her with them and he himself goes away by taxi.

"Do you know Robin! I haven't met him for the last 9 years but when he was arrested and was taken to the lock-up, all four of us went to meet him. First time in 9 years, he looked into my eyes. He hugged me warmly." Tim tells her with a joyous smile.

"Sorry! I really didn't know about the truth but… the one thing I surely know and that is … He really loves you a lot." She retorts with a slight smirk.

"I knew that you can never be so unkind!" Saim adds.

"Go! Guys go and meet him!" Mr Peter speaks aloud with a cheerful smile.

Smartie holds his wheelchair whereas Sunnie and Saim go to Robin. Saim forwards his hand with a regretful smile; Robin holds that and stands up. They go to the police station by bus and ask permission to meet him. When they are permitted, they go down the stairs where the darkness increases with every step.

"Why is he taken down into the darkness?" She asks worriedly.

"All those who might be announced with a death sentence are kept down." Replies Sunnie.

They cover a certain distance on foot after passing through the stairs. The cell at the corner is seen by far. A policeman approaches hurriedly, unlocks the lock-up, stands in front of that, then says "You are left!"

"What? Why?" The prisoner retorts.

"We didn't find enough proof against you. Come out!" He swiftly retorts.

Heartless walks out of the prison, staring at his slightly injured wrist. As he looks up in front, he becomes astonished and is left unmoved and lets thousands of tears shed abruptly. He gathers enough strength to speak a million stories and emotions and proceeds in a weak and sorrowful voice,

"When I opened my eyes, you were not there. I called you a lot but you were gone. I wanted to tell you something."

Heartless takes a deep sigh whereas Robin begins to weep.

"It was me who placed that bomb in your car when J. Black commanded me to do so. That time I was Heartless but when you tried to save me from that bomb blast …. your sentences were the same as that of Tim. Then I thought that I was doing as wrong with you as I did with Tim."

He glances at Tim with very lovely and miserable eyes.

"J. Black wanted to kill your father to gain his property. I saved him by donating him one of my kidneys. I told J. Black a different plan by which you both can be saved but when I saved you from that kidnapper, J. Black killed your father. Your most loving Ritcher! He himself killed your father as he also worked for J.Black. It was his hatched plan to send you out of the house. He told a lie about the New Castle Hotel, about watching your mother. I was going to get your money and property for J. Black to save you from being killed, and for that, I needed to get your trust ..."

The continuity and flow of his words takes a break. He takes a deep breath and seems as if he is broken.

"I got that! But when I got that I didn't want to break it. When we left Saim's house and reached the railway station, I tried to run away but I could not. I felt… I didn't know what I felt for you! Being Heartless, I felt something for the first time. First time in nine years, I wanted to save someone."

"I was seriously worried for someone, and that one was you. When on the train, you were sitting at the open gate, I woke up and didn't perceive you around me. I felt that I lost something too precious! The only thing which was hurting me too much was the fact that I am betraying you! It was confusing me a lot! But when you asked … ARE YOU WITH ME? I became completely changed. I felt peaceful and I decided to be with you. I decided to kill the man who will come to take the suitcase and will take you safely away from there. I decided to tell you everything but …. I was really shocked that you left me! I have been in prison for the last three days. Now! I am 20 years old and feeling calm after 8 years and happy for the first time in my life. I got something back which I lost once and that is only you whom I got back otherwise anything, anybody I lost, never came back!"

Mr. Maxwell, who is still standing at the backside and is not seen by anybody yet but when he claps aloud, everybody turns back and gazes at him. Robin runs to Tiger and clinches him tightly.

"I was missing you a lot! I was feeling incomplete without you! And one thing I also want to disclose is that …" She begins babbling again.

"Yeah! What is it?" He asks with a slightly pleasant smirk.

"I know your past. I know all about your life! And I began feeling sympathetic after I came to know about that."

He passes a mirthless smile.

"May I ask you who is J. Black?" She asks.

"Mmm (thinking) I think you don't need to know that. Afterall, he was also killed that night so he is no longer available to hatch further plans." He replies with the same pleasant smile suppressing one more story to be told and that is about her mother but he doesn't want her to have negative thoughts about her mother after all, she was killed too being in that car.

"Okay! I will not insist on you! Uncle Max! Thanks, a lot! And …. really sorry!" She turns to Uncle Max.

"No! I don't need this! Mr. Tiger! Do you have any idea how she was running from Wenn to Berge and from Berge to Wenn with her broken hand!" He addresses Heartless with a joyous smile.

Saim interrupts the whole group by saying aloud "So, this is all what happens when a Heartless feels."

Tiger laughs mirthfully.

"Sorry Tiger! Really sorry! I will never leave you!" She speaks enthusiastically.

"She didn't know the truth!" Tim adds further, telling Tiger.

"I know! If she had known that … I would have killed her!" He speaks in a low voice with solemn expressions, glancing at her with a cheerful smile.

"I think I have to say sorry to Robin!" Smartie speaks aloud.

"No! It's Okay! You were right!" She retorts calmly.

Smartie shouts aloud, "Let's have a batch-up party!"

"Tonight!" Adds Saim.

A policeman approaches and says "Don't you all want to go?"

Mr. Maxwell solemnly replies with a question "Do you?"

Policeman becomes nervous, "Sir! Please take the children out of the police station."

Everybody laughs and cheerful sounds are heard.
