My Cruelty Surprises Me

Quesoftheday: So I want you to suggest me some tea and coffee you like or think it's unique and I'd try them if I haven't tried, like not "that's the tea sis" tea, actual drinking tea or coffee like chamomile tea, espresso etc. A little description about the beverage would be much appreciated!






"Zayn do you remember the exact time you went for coffee?" I sigh looking at the desktop screen in front of me.

It has been a few minutes the manager informed us that we can take a look at the CCTV footage and all I'm looking at is some of Niall's relatives or friends coming inside or going outside, no sign of Fiona or any face I don't recognise. It's not possible to see the faces clearly because of the position of the camera but at least I can understand. I keep my eyes straight on the footage, feeling Harry squeezing my hand lightly as he stands between me and Louis.

"It was exactly five o'clock because that's the time I received a call from Shawn. Never thought a whole living human would disappear from inside a secured resort full of known people." Zayn tells caressing his index finger down his chin, followed by a gasp.

"Stop here stop stop!" I heard Louis snaps all of a sudden as the operator stops the video quickly. "Rewind a few seconds back from here."

The guy does as he's told to do and then he pauses the video again at the exact time Louis tells him to. My eyes widen as I scoot closer to take a better view and trying to decode what I'm watching right now.

"15:02, that's the time you were with me Reen, far away from the resort." Louis almost whispers as I swallow the lump growing inside my throat. "But the CCTV is showing something else."

He's right, we went outside the resort in the morning and we didn't even step any closer to the area before we found out about Fiona. But the footage in front of me is clearly showing that I'm walking outside with Fiona, wearing the same bikini I was wearing while I was with Louis. Fiona has her Bubbah in her other hand while she's grabbing my hand with the other.

"This is me but how's this possible?" I tuck my hair up as the hallucination starts to kill me inside. "Maybe the time is wrong but I don't remember taking Fiona out today. How can............"

"Reen call Oren." I look at Louis as soon as his words reaches my ears. "Reen don't waste your time, you know better than me how you can be at two place in one time."

"Just call her Reen, maybe Fiona is with her aunt, we don't have to worry then." Niall tells from behind as I look down.

I stand up from the chair and reach my phone to dial her number. Niall is right, maybe Fiona is just safe with Oren and Oren somehow couldn't manage to inform me about taking Fiona with her because my phone was in my room. Maybe she just wanted to surprise me with her sudden arrival.

Why her phone is switched off?

Maybe she's in a meeting.

Or her phone ran out of battery.

Or she's just sleeping.

Failing to reach her, I dial mum's number as I take a look at a tensed Louis pecking his nails.

"Hello............"

"Hello mum where's Oren?" I ask cutting her off as soon as the phone is picked up.

"Reen it's you!" She exclaims in happiness. "She has been out of London since yesterday for a meeting in Seattle, said that her boss, I mean Louis would go there directly. Maybe she's too busy that's why she hasn't contacted me yet. Why dear?"

My heart drops down as mum passes me the information of Oren's whereabouts. I turn around and look at Louis who looks back at me confusingly.

"Do you have any meeting to attend in Seattle recently?" I ask Louis with a low voice pressing my palm against the mouthpiece of the phone.

"Meeting in Seattle?" Louis steps closer as he asks me back with double confusion. "The only meeting I have outside London is the end of the next month, in Abu Dhabi."

I look down and shake my head to put all the words in a line but I fail and a gasp leaves my mouth. I decide not to pull my overanxious mother in this muddle who's already dealing enough with a cancer patient at home.

"Okey mum just let me know whenever you'd be able to place any communication with Oren because her phone is switched off. I love you, take care and...............and stay safe please. Remember, don't trust anything about me unless I'm the one to tell you so."

I hang up the call as I close my eyes to stop my tears, pressing the phone against the middle of my chest. I feared for this day is going to come but somehow I didn't want to believe my fear. Now I'm blaming myself for not believing myself.


*Flashback starts*

"One day Fiona would grow up into a beautiful girl. Then looking at her pretty innocent face you'd forget that you hate her Oren. Then you'd love her more than I do, isn't it?" I mockingly ask my serious question looking at Oren who's watering a new rose plant she has planted a few days ago.

I run the brush through the little hair of eight month old Fiona,. She looks above smiling at me as she tilts her head up a bit demanding a kiss from me. I fulfil her demand and she giggles showing me her toothless gums.

"Reen," Oren finally decides to answer me as she pulls out the dirty gloves off her hands and sits on the swing across me. "It," She corrects herself of introducing Fiona as I raise my eyebrow at her, "she was yours since the day she saw the light of this world, your face was the first face she saw after she opened her eyes for the first time and.........................you should permanently bury your fear of losing her to me because that's the most impossible thing to happen in the farthest future. She's yours, I'd never........never be able to accept her, I'm sorry Reen. My cruelty surprises me but I'm sorry."

I nod sighing heavily as she walks inside the house kissing my forehead.

"When are you going to call me mummy you little doll? Hmm? Cmon say mommy........mum....ma.....mamma......mother.........Reen.......any language, anything but just make your first word calling me you little precious thing!" I and Fiona both giggle at the same time as I start tickling her little stomach.

*Flashback ends*

"Reen what's wrong?" I feel Harry shaking me by my shoulders as I come back to reality. "What did your mother say?"

"Oren said she left for a meeting in Seattle........."

"And I don't have any meeting In Seattle," Louis cuts me off as I see him rolling his eyes. "Is she working anywhere else?"

"I would've known if she was because she tells me................everything?" I mostly question myself as the realization hits me that she hasn't tell me about her 'Seattle meeting'.

"There is no signs of Fiona getting out of Tasmania, I've checked all the possible ports." Zayn tells once he's done talking with someone over the phone. "But at least now we know Fiona is with Oren, not with someone who may harm her."

"She mayn't harm her but she won't return Fiona to me anymore." I rush out of the room and go straight inside my hotel room as soon as the cruel truth trembles out from my lips.

I close the door behind me once I'm inside the room and sit on the floor leaning against the bed as my squeaks become louder with more tears. Hugging my knees tightly, I press them against my chest as Fiona's face plays with me emotional imagination.

"Mum misses you Fiona, come back to mum, mum will love you more." I whisper to myself looking at the ceiling.

Someone's knock on the door makes me wipe away the tears on my face as I mouth come in. Harry's tall figure gets visible in front of me as he closes the door behind him. He doesn't look at me before he slides down beside me on the floor and interlaces his fingers with mine as we both look at the floor.

"After years, Louis has talked with me about something totally out of syllabus and he asked me to be with you, to take care of you. He thinks that he might not be the best person to be with you right now, because you hate him." Harry makes me to look at him as my heart drops down noticing the tear sparkling all the way down his faint smile.

"Did he say that I hate him?" I ask as harry looks at me and he nods, looking away from me immediately.

"He told you about his stupid story of killing his father right?" Harry sighs closing his eyes before looking at me pryingly. "I'm telling you he needs to change the way he thinks because that's not the way his father died. It was just an accident and..................."

"No not that Harry," I cut him off as he looks at me with more curiosity, his glittery eyes widened. "He.........told me about.............Harry I don't want to............"

"Spill it out Reen." Harry snaps with a cold voice as he stands up. "Don't tell me he told you his another self made guilty story of him......................"

Harry cuts himself off and closes his eyes for a moment while he sucks in a long breathe before opening his eyes again. "He told you about him raping the girl that night isn't it?" Harry's voice booms inside the room making me to flinch as the veins on the back of his palm gets prominent under his pale skin.

"Harry you need to calm down pleas....................."

"Just answer yes or no Reen!"

Harry whispers under his breath as he looks at me, his head slightly tilted down. "Muteness is well-meaningful sometimes."

As the words escapes Harry's lips, he's already outside the door and I don't miss a second to rush behind him, calling his name and failing to reach his hand. I try to stop him multiple times before he enters inside Louis' room but it was in fact too late.
