CHAPTER#05(B) UNSOLVED RIDDLE

"IF SOMEONE ASKS THAT,HAS LIFE DONE TO  YOU A THRILLER COMEDY?

  I BET WE WILL BE THE ONE TO SAY YES WITH A BUCKET OF CURSES"

MARTHA DARK POV

"WHEN THEY SAY LIFE GIVE U HARD TIMES,SO YOU KNOW THE REAL VALUE OF HAPPINESS. MAY BE ITS TRUE BUT IN MY CASE LIFE FORGETS WHEN THE HARD TIMES STOPS TO GIVE ME HAPPINESS"

"Martha wake up darling" I heard my friend's voice. My head was spinning continuously as someone has hit it with a hammer. I woke up and look around my surroundings only to find that I am in a hospital. 

"What has happened to you? How you become unconscious?" My friend asked.

I really don't remember anything,suddenly my mind went into a flashback & I recollected the recent happenings & started sweating.

"Martha,what happened? U okay.. she asked and I realized that I am not alone here. I nodded in yes.

"I need to go home." I said calmly.

"Ok then I will take doctor's permission" she said & went away.

Why? Why my life cannot be normal,why it has a lot of twist & turns. Why always I am the one to suffer? All my life I have to suffer for one damn mistake, first I felt guilty now I curse my luck that why I did such sinful act which costs my happiness!

My unbreakable marriage broke,my life,my unborn child left me in this cruel world. Why they left? How could they leave? Only these pitiful words I utter after losing my precious lifelines... I SCREW EVERY DAMN THING! I thought while drenching in shower letting my tears flow continuously.

My phone rang and I came out from bathroom. The name was flashing as manager. "Yes Sir,I will be there" I can't stay peacefully for a day,now they need their all staff members for a warm welcome of their special guest,but some how its good I will get busy in my schedule.

LIDYA MARSHALL POV

I was continuously calling Niall but dare he received any of my calls & reply of my texts. The most shocking is he is not at his place too,its not the first time he went somewhere for work, its just he didn't informed me & recently he has no projects lined up. I noticed that he is looking tensed after the award ceremony but he didn't discussed. I hope he is fine & not in some problems.

NIALL FLUER POV

"THE RIGHT PERSON TAKES TIME TO COME IN YOUR LIFE,ONCE THEY SHOW UP THEY NEVER LEAVE UNTIL THEY MEET DEATH"

The thing I always feared off,the past which I almost overcome is actually haunting me now. Nobody knows that behind this successful Niall fluer a coward man is hidden. While drinking I was thinking of my struggle full past.

I was scared of being caught so I ran away,but problems didn't stopped they get started from there! Me neither in studies nor in career get successful... Finally after a lot of effort I directed my first advertisement. Yes! I started for ads,because nobody wants to work with me & waste their money. I though it will get succeeded but it get flopped badly & my hope of being a big director got crush in seconds. But then I met my lucky charm, my love Lidya Marshall and she became my supporter,my strength,and we became a strong team and then our great times started but there is a saying na ALWAYS BE CAREFUL OF ONE THING IN THIS WORLD IS KARMA,IT WILL NEVER LEAVE U UNTIL U PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!

I was thinking all this when suddenly I realized that its been a week since I am here & I didn't inform anyone not even lidya,she will be hell worried. God, why am I so insane, I didn't even checked my phone. I quickly switched on my phone only to find 150 missed calls & thousands of messages of her,God knows what will she be thinking of me. I checked my email box & my eyes grew wider I got an offer my Mr.Mcall to direct his movie which will be produce by him only & he invited all the people related to project for dinner. Thank god! I saw that or else I would have miss this high profile project. I need to go,first I will meet lidya & then Mr.Mcall.

When I reached the hotel I saw Mr.Mcall was  standing there looking for me.

"Sorry for being late." I said apologetically.

"It's okay,I thought u decline the offer" he said.

"No its no like that,I was out of town." I lied.

"On! Any emergency?" He said knowingly.

"Nah! Just for fresh air" I covered up.

"Come,the team members are waiting." He said and give me a smile.

"So now everyone is here, let me introduce u people too each other. Guys! I am Scott Mcall,the owner & producer of the project,He is Robert Frost,writer of the movie,She is Cherry Park,oh sorry Mrs.Cherry Park,the main lead on which the movie revolves,and he is Niall fluer,the director of our movie!" He grinned. We all look at each other like something strike our mind but we didn't show it to our faces. The waitress came and serve there special dish to us. "You are to hard working right,your manager told, as I asked about the staff members who can welcome my guests,What's your name?" He asked "We have met before"

She said. "Do we?" He said. "Yeah last week." She said.

"Oh now I remember,U r Martha dark r8" he asked and she nodded and we all become shocked that how come destiny become so cruel." Let's have dinner with us" he said to Martha.

"Life is so unpredictable,isn't it?" Scott Mcall said while munching his food.

"Its true we never know what will happen,one sec you are alive & the you are shhhh." I said while noticing everyone's expressions.

"Exactly! Sometimes your forgotten past knock on your door or maybe dead body of someone you killed." He said in a mischievous way & we all started sweating.

"Looks like you are afraid of someone you murdered...you are badass." I said while changing the topic.

"Hmm,I don't know about myself but the looks on all of your faces make me wonder...is any one of you have something to do with the murder?" Mr.Mcall asked knowingly while Martha choked on food.

"Why don't u stop with your stupid jokes and focus on eating,u r not even halfway of your food." Cherry said being annoyed.

"Yeah guys why are we talking so dark...smile!" Martha said while plastered a force smile on her face.

"Because your name ends with dark.." Robert tries to make the situation light but went in vain. Everyone stares at him.

"Kidding,since everyone is joking I should try too...looks like I am not good at it." He covered up.

"Yes u aren't & u never was!" I spill the beans. Everyone was stunned by my comment.

"I mean I just guessed by your effort of joking right" I covered up.

This dinner was the most awkward dinner of history. We can't recognise the one we known from years.

"So people we will meet tomorrow,I will take your leave." Mr.Mcall said and we stared at each other for a while & thought of this remarkable dinner...note the sarcasm! "Oh I forget something" he said. "These are some gifts for each one of you." He gave a small box to all of us and left,this gift was a token of our new journey which actually lead us to our dirty past secrets. We all left to our homes in a confusing & frustrated state of mind!
