Whistling
Ring...
"Oh sweetheart are you on your way home?" I enthusiastically asked on the other line.
"Not yet, sweetheart, I'm in the middle of our mission but soon as this mission finishes I'll go home immediately," She replied in the second line that made my heart pound rapidly. I have this feeling with an unfortunate thing will happen.
I slammed my fist on the table due to my anger.
Damn! you're in the middle of your mission and you have the guts to make a call? Mirana I can't stand it anymore that every time you are on your mission I couldn't stop myself from getting worried. I think its better for us, for you if you should quit your agency. I am worried about you especially now that you are in the middle of your mission," I exclaimed and she seemed to be stunned by the other line.
"Calm down sweetheart. I miss you that's why I called, wait why you want to make me quit this job when you're not even quitting your job"
"Mirana sweetheart I want us to live a normal life. We'll just build our own business after we get married, "I calmly stated.
"Oh that's great sweetheart we will have our w-wait did I hear it right? After we get married? "she utterly asked.
"Yes, is it too early? Don't you want to marry me? " I nervously asked.
She didn't reply.
"Mirana are you still there?"
"Y-yes sweetheart I'm here to-of course I want to marry you," she replied nervously . Why do I have this feeling that something bad will happen?
I just sighed in relief.
"I love you Mirana. I truly love you," I wholeheartedly said.
"Ada-"
A loud bang cut her off and followed by loud gunshots.
Anxiety rose on me by hearing those on the second line. Suddenly my world stopped and I can't even form a word from my mouth.
"Mirana! Mirana! What's going on there? Is everything okay out there? Answer me Mirana!"
Then the line disrupted.
"Mirana! Mirana!"
****ADAM
TRINITY RESTAURANTE 9: AM
Years later Adam still could not continue his life, still grieving the loss of the woman he loved all his life.
“Adam, it’s nine o’clock in the morning! What we talked about was exactly on time and what do you think you’re wearing today? The security guard will almost never let you in because of what you are wearing, I don’t know if you are still alive or dead. You didn’t even prepare to go here, and you didn’t even shave your mustache, and did you ever visit with your scissors?” he exclaimed, looking at me like a hermit.
“It’s still early to have words of wisdom Scott, why did you call me?” I went straight to the question because I didn’t want to take it anymore, he is becoming annoying.
“Your head is getting too hot,” he said as if sarcastic.
“You know that these hours are hard traffic, Scott,” I said as I put my hands on my head.
“We have a mission and we need your cooperation, Adam. And you are the only one I thought that could do this job,” he said, and there was a seemingly folding folder behind him.
“I’m quitting,” I said firmly.
“You can’t-“, I immediately cut off his next words, I know where the hell this is going.
“Be serious?”
“Why?” he asked, reflecting on what I had said.
“I have no appetite for these,” I replied, but he didn’t seem to agree with my response.
“Is it because of her?” he asked, glancing at the ring on my finger.
“Don’t bring her here,” I retorted, but he just looked at me as if I was crazy.
“Adam, you’re not married yet! So why are you wearing that ring?” he cried out in anger and pity on his face. I know I shouldn’t be wearing this thing, but this is the only thing that keeps my faith in her.
“Look! You’ve changed, look at yourself in the mirror Adam. Do you think she’ll be happy in your present state of life?”
“In my heart we were married, and I knew in my heart Mirana was still alive. I know that, call me crazy or what I just can’t help but to think of her every day you don’t know what I am going through, let me be just please let me be,“ I said with all hope in my voice.
“It’s been 2 years Adam, two years have passed. We both witnessed the ashes so better move on,” he said as if he were talking to a kid.
“That’s not easy. I have to leave,” I stated, firmly making my hands formed into fist causing my knuckles to turn white.
I left the restaurant without waiting for his reply.
“I knew she would come back for me,” I growled before opening the door of my car.
