Chapter 3: Million dollars?
He fell to the ground with a tired face and said…
Unknown man: "Where were you girls since last 4 years?"- He said in a tired voice
We told him everything…
Emma: "sorry, but who are you?"-I said in a confused tone.
Unknown man: "Please come with me; you are going to know everything."- He said consoling us.
Although we felt insecure; we had no other choice.
Surprisingly, he bought us to our dad's office. We felt happy, emotional, and confused.
We followed the man to uncle Thomas's room. Then he left.
Uncle Thomas stood up by looking at us surprised. We were surprised the same way.
We told him everything; where we were and what happened to us?
We weren't expecting what he was about to say.
Mr. Thomas: "Your dad signed a business contract of million dollars, and that contract passed successfully. Unfortunately, he's not in this world anymore but as the descender's you girls are the ones who should get the cheque. Here it is. Hope for your a happy and bright future."
Launa: "wait, what? You can't just give us that huge amount like this? Where are all the documents and agreements? – she said aggressively.
Here I am surprised by his honesty.
Emma: "would you mind give us a minute, Mr. Thomas"? - I said looking at Launa.
Mr. Thomas: "Sure, sure". - he said smiling.
I grab Launa's hand and went out of the room.
Emma: "Launa; have you lost your mind? You are going to take them?"-I said shouting at her.
Launa: "Why not? It's our dad's property. It's our right to get that?" -She said laughing at me.
Emma: "Have you thought about his honesty? He could enjoy all these million dollars the last 4 years"- I said shaking her shoulder.
She didn't say anything for a while.
I broke the silence and spoke
Emma: "Shouldn't we contribute at least half of them as his reward"
She nods her head to "yes"
I grab her hand soon and entered the room again.
Launa: "Sorry; Mr. Thomas"- Launa excused.
Mr. Thomas: "It's totally fine; have you girls discussed"
Launa: "Yes; We want to contribute half of our money to this company as a reward"-Launa
Mr. Thomas looked up to us in a surprising look,
Mr. Thomas: "are you sure?"- He asked unexpectedly.
Launa: "yes"- she said strong.
He came up to us; Put his hand on both of our heads and said…
Mr. Thomas: "God bless you"
We smiled at each other.
Mr. Thomas: "But I have no right to take half of the price, it's approximately 80 million. it was all your dad's decision and hard work all day night. It can be illegal in that way. So, I can only receive ¼ of that price."-he said smiling at us.
Emma: "we are fascinated by your honesty uncle"- I said instantly.
Mr. Thomas: "No. that was my duty. Always remember if you do something with honesty, so will defiantly success. You girls can join this business if you want"- he said smiling.
Launa: "Thanks uncle, we'll think about it later. But as you know our story is there any place where we can live for some days. Our life is chaotic right now"- She said smiling at both of our faces
Mr. Thomas: "Yes, sure. I can understand, what have you girls went through"- he said looking at us.
He sent us to a 7-start hotel with his personal car soon. We stayed there for 3 days. In the middle of these 3 days, we arrange our life nicely. We soon bought a new house near the seaside and our necessary staff soon.
Launa started a toy business, investing a short amount because we didn't know will its successful or not. But our handwork highly succeeds the business.
I started my study again after a long break and succeed with a certified detective after 9 years which was my whole life's dream.
I still remember the day we met Tom whose story was something like ours too.
I met Tom when solving a murder case. Tom was appointed to assist me. Besides our work, we started to meet. He is a really great friend. Although we met Tom by me Launa was close with him too. After a long period of loneliness, we met a great friend. How fantastic our life was going…
Suddenly, a hard thunder broke my dream.
I was surprised by looking at my watch it's almost evening.
Emma: "Did I fell asleep? Where is Tom?"
I went inside my room and saw writing something while sobbing at the same time.
Emma: "Are you okay Tom?"- I said rubbing his back.
He hides the dairy just after he noticed me.
Tom: "Yes Emma, just remembering Launa a little too much."-he said scarily.
I sat beside him and put my right hand on his left shoulder. We looked at each other's eyes while both of our tears were rolling from our eyes.
Emma: "Don't worry, wherever Launa is she's happier than us."-I said consoling him.
Tom: "We were in a very happy and tiny family right Emma?"- he said while crying.
Emma: "Yeah"-I said softly.
Tom: "and our bond broke in just a second. How could she do that?"-He said looking at the ground.
Emma: "I told you Tom it's a murder, she didn't commit suicide. There is no chance of that. I'm going to find him and kill him with my own hand"- I said wiping my own tears.
He stands straight and went to the toilet…
Emma: "Strange, last time also while I said that we just left? Is he connected with this case??? Stop Emma what are you even thinking about, shame on you…"- I mumbled with my own self.
(present...)
5 days have passed
Everything is getting normal.
I am on thoughts of Launa while taking a shot of hot espresso.
Tom: "Hey, Emma. I just received a message from the hospital. The postmortem report is ready."- He said while walking through the door.
Emma: "Oh. Okay. I'll pick that up shortly"- I said taking another sip of the coffee
Tom: "you want me to come with you?"- he asked in a hasty voice.
Emma: "no, it's fine. I can manage. Thanks for your concern. - I said ignoring him.
Tom: "Okay then, I need to leave. I have some emergency case."
He left…
Soon, she takes the last sip of my coffee soon and left for the hospital.
On the way to the hospital…
'Did Launa really committed suicide or it was a murder???'
'No, why would she commit suicide???'
'She was even talking to me happy last night…'
'And why the hell is Tom behaving weird???'
'I need to find the truth… I lost at her own thoughts.'
