Chapter 21 6°Celsius
I am faded.
2 months later.
Alessandro's study room.
He sat at his table with study lamp being his only illumination.
Papers lie scattered around him and the clock stuck 2 at night.
He removed his specs from his nose, rubbed his eyes and placed his specs on the table.
Placing both his hands behind his head he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
He loved the silence...he loved the darkness.
They gave serenity to his chaotic mind.
But this silence was also short lived when he heard something falling down in the room next to him.
Rushing out of his room to the next one his heart accelerated just like it did most often these days.
As soon as he opened the door pitch darkness welcomed him.
Afraid he called out her name..
"Saph....?...are you fine ....where are you...."
No reply....he felt like he could hear her heavy breathing but she didn't reply.
