I said" Sam we need take immediate action against Derek ". Sam said nothing he just dragged me out of the room. Sam spoke out " Do you know who Derek is?". I replied "Uhm..... Derek is yours's and Andy's peer (friend). Sam took a deep breath and he said " Derek is your Uncle ". I exclaimed "What ! How is he related to me ?". Sam calmly said " He is Elvy's cousin brother ". I shouted aloud " Derek is my mom's cousin brother !". Sam shushed me saying "Stacy and Jane might hear you ".

I whispered "What the heck! will we do now ? How can that Derek be my relative? Sam now mind is wrecking with confusion, irritation and Anger". Sam said " Liz.....no one is at fault , only that pervert needs to get punished but for what we need to be careful". I nodded and Sam continued " So.....you told me about the nightmare in which Stacy and Jane died and your father Andy vowed to punish the culprit but in his statement he said I WILL RUIN HER LIFE . That means he wanted to ruin a woman's life after seeing his sister dead . We need to find who is that woman , may be this woman is Derek's crime partner" . I answered "Can a woman stoop so low , I don't think so that a woman is also involved in this crime". Sam then said "Then why the heck Andy , I mean your father wanted to avenge a woman. What is that woman's fault ?".

I sat on the sofa , trying to join all the dots . Then it clicked me and I took Sam to his room . I shut the door and I spoke out " Sam I know that woman whom my dad wanted to ruin". Sam looked at me confused . I blurted out " That woman whom dad wanted to destroy is none other my mother Elviana Rose . Dad was dating my mom when his sister Jane died . Dad read Aunt Jane's suicide and he got to know that Derek is the culprit and reason for Aunt Jane's death .Hence, my dad wanted to avenge Derek . So, he married my mom not out of love but just to seek revenge from Derek by hurting my mom who is Derek's cousin sister ". Sam gasped and he asked me " How you are so sure ? I mean your Dad loves your mom , I myself have seen that Andy deeply loves Elvy ".

I replied " You have seen Elvy and Andy of 1995 but I have seen Elvy and Andy of 2020. I have witnessed their brawls since I was a kid . Dad never talks to my mom nicely . My mom is also too apprehensive around Dad and I always felt like there is some huge issue between them , something which has always being kept under wraps from me and my brother Willy . But now I am 100% sure that the pricking issue that destroyed my parent's relationship is Aunt Jane's death which still has it's damaging effects even after 25 years ".

Sam agreed with me and he said " We saved Stacy and Jane . I guess now this issue will not hurt anyone in the future ". I replied "No...this thing is not over yet . What if I return back to my time but then this Derek again blackmails and harms Stacy and Jane . So, we need to send this Derek behind the bars now". Sam replied"Yeah....but can we expose him ?. I mean Derek owns those videos , Therefore we can't take any risks with this pervert . We need a plan .

I said to Sam " I have a plan ". For the next 30 minutes I explained my plan to Sam and he gave a nod to my plan after a bit of persuasion and a sweet kiss from me . After that Sam and I went to Stacy's room where both the girls sat terrified . Sam looked at them with tears in his eyes , I patted his to comfort him . I know Sam's heart is bleeding for his sister and Aunt Jane . Sam considers Aunt Jane as his sister too just like Stacy .

I sat near Stacy and Aunt Jane .They both literally cried on my shoulder . But this time we let their tears flow freely, letting out their anguish with the flow of tears . Then I said " Stacy and Miss Jane enough of crying now . Sam and I will handle everything . Now pack your bags we are going on a holiday ?". Hearing me Stacy said "The idea of holidaying now scares us and that creep Derek is out there to harm us . How can we step out of the house safely ?". I replied " The culprit needs to be scared not you both . Secondly, you both need a change of air for a while . So, no arguments now just start the packing ". Stacy nodded her head in affirmation . Aunt Jane spoke out " Where are we going ?". I replied that's a surprise for you both now pack your bags as we are leaving tomorrow morning . Aunt Jane gave a small smile to me and I too smiled in return .

Then Sam the monkey blurted out "Jane why were you planning to kill yourself in this maroon dress ? Is this your favourite dress or someone special gave it to you ?". Godly god Sam is a monkey as he now is speaking non sense . I glared Sam and I said "Miss Jane don't mind Sam's blabber he is a total monkey and idiot who don't know how to crack a joke . I am so sorry if Sam hurt you with his illogical barmy(mad ) talk ". Aunt Jane replied " It's alright Sam is like my little brother and yeah this dress and silver heels are dear to me because it belongs to my mom and she wore this dress and heels on her wedding reception . But I was so wrong to die like that hurting everyone including my late mom because she always wanted me to wear this dress in my wedding. Now I will treasure this and one day I will wear it on my special day . Oh...so this dress and silver heels belongs to my grandmother, I thought to myself .

I hugged Aunt Jane warmly and I said " May you get all the happiness in your life ". Then we four had a group hug . I see smile on Stacy's and Aunt Jane's face .Before I leave this era , I will get Derek punished and I will ensure that the smile of these two lovely ladies does not get fade away ".

Then I came to the guest room to pack my stuff. After my packing was done . I sat on the bed tired . I then went downstairs and I saw Aunt Jane cooking Mushroom pasta for lunch. I offered to help but Aunt Jane declined saying "I love to cook for my loved ones ". I nodded my head and I gave a small smile to her . Now I know what my life had missing , I was not getting the warm love of my Aunt Jane , I thought to myself .

We ate lunch . I complimented Aunt Jane saying " I love this pasta .Even my dad likes mushroom pasta ". Aunt Jane replied "Thanks Liz.....what a coincidence even my brother Andy loves my mushroom pasta . Wait ...but Liz you told us that you were an orphan then how come you got to know that this is your dad's favourite pasta".On this Sam choked on his food , I quickly gave him water . Godly god what the heck I just blurted out , I thought to myself . I quickly corrected myself " I mean I liked this pasta and I thought that daughter is alike her dad in many things , so may be my dad too would have loved to eat this mushroom pasta". Aunt Jane replied "oh....dear I am so sorry if I made you feel that you are an orphan , I had no intention to hurt you sweetie ". I replied "it's okay Miss Jane you were talking logically while I was imagining things. You don't need to feel sorry ".

Rest of the day was filled with excitement of going on a trip. At night after dinner I finally lay on the bed to sleep but then a monkey crept in my room secretly . I shrieked on seeing this naughty monkey and shouted "Sam you scared the hell out of me. Why the heck you are here at this hour". Sam replied " I can't sleep , let's go to our room ". I exclaimed "Our room! Don't be a creep Sam and now Monkey Sam go to your room and sleep ". Sam replied " I and you both are the owners of that room . Technically, this room belongs to me now but after 25 years it will be yours . So this room belongs to both of us .Now don't make this monkey mad and come along with me ". I smiled at Sam's smart tactic . Sam took me in his room , well.... this is my room too but just 25 years apart in time . I went to the balcony followed by Sam . I stared at the twinkling stars and I said "I don't see these many stars in my time ". Sam replied "And I have never seen a beautiful pure heart like you ".

After that our eyes and lips got locked making me lose myself in Sam's love . I cool breeze of November blew over us making a silver shiver down my spine . I don't know whether Sam's kiss or this cold whether made me shudder . Rest of the night I spent sleeping in the cosy arms of Sam . I didn't knew that I would fall for this monkey who don' t even belong to my time . People say that love knows no boundaries but I say that my love knows no time zone , it is actually timeless .
