章 12: Aftermath - I

Early Morning

Henrich got up from his bed & was now standing on the balcony overlooking the garden. From yesterday, he was feeling a bit of uneasiness inside his heart. Like something was not right.

He couldn't focus on anything, nor could talk to talk to anyone without getting irritated. He told all this to his wife, who just told him it was all because of stress & he should rest.

So he rested, but sleep was not that easy to come. He tried his best to push all thoughts to back of his mind, but it didn't work out. Still, he fell asleep for 2-3 hours, but that discomfort never left him.

Soon a knock on the door was heard & a maid entered the room carrying a letter. She handed him the letter & left quickly, saying nothing as it was too early to disturb him.
