Returning Home

The bright sun blazed through the window which fall on a fair skin.The cozy bed and the peaceful environment made her wanted to sleep more.The chirping sound of the birds were like lullaby to her ears.She opened her eyes a little and saw the empty space beside her.

"Alan! Where are you?" she shouted.When she got no reply she stood from her bed and went inside the bathroom to see and found nothing there.

Where does he go early in the morning? He was very excited yesterday.

"I'm here.Come down.I'm right here in the kitchen" a voice came from downstairs.She went down to see in the kitchen.

She smiled as she entered the kitchen and saw a person cooking there.She hugged him and said, "What is my little prince doing early in the morning?".The little boy who was around 6 years looked at his mother who was hugging him from back.

"I'm cooking for you,mommy" he said as he looked at her."Oh! What a pleasant surprise to see you cook for this lovely mommy" she said as she lifted him to the height of the stove while he was standing with the help of the chair.

"Of course I should cook today because Ms.Elina Mathews must be very tired from working all night and pretending to be asleep all day in the morning" he said as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"That...Hah...baby It's because...."her words were cut off by him,"Because you had an important work to finish right away so that we can go to your hometown earlier than expected,right?".

"Wow, My prince knows me the best" she said as she lifted him again and made him sit on the dining table."I know all of your little tricks so don't ever try to fool me" Alan said with a serious face and folded his hands.

"Yes sir" Elina stood straight and started to cook keeping away the burnt food that Alan has made till now.She made breakfast for them both nd had it before going upstairs to get freshen up.

After a while....

*Ringgg Ringgg* the calling bell rang while Alan was getting ready for the flight and Elina was working with her laptop.Elina went to the door and saw the person who was outside in monitor that was fitted on the wall.She unlocked the door and let that person in.

"So your really going there now" the person that was sitting in front of her in the couch asked Elina."I can't run away forever" Elina said as she kept working on her laptop.

"Aunt Laura, Are you not coming with us?"Alan who was coming down stairs dragging his luggage asked the person sitting with Elina.

It was Luara, Elina's best friend and also a famous fashion designer in their country.They were friend from childhood and were mostly together through thick and thin.Laura knows about Elina the most.

Laura went to little Alan and took his luggage as she said,"I have some incomplete work here.I'll come as soon as I finish them.So you both go first".

"Have you packed everything necessary? We may stay there longer" Elina asked looking at the luggage that he brought.

"I've packed more than necessary.I've also packed your belongings because I don't want you to forget to bring your pajamas or your laptop like last time" he looked at her helplessly.Laura giggled seeing them swapping their positions.

"So what if I forget them once I can buy them.

It is not necessary to pack so many things".

Elina tried to retaliate and prove him wrong but just like everytime she can't win against him and ended up admitting her mistakes.

"The flight is at 9:30 am right.There is still an hour before that so let's go to the ice cream parlor near the airport.It is said that they have the tastiest ice cream in the whole city".Laura said looking at the mother and son with sparkling eyes.

Elina and Alan both shook their heads at the same time looking at the kid before their eyes.They all went to the ice cream parlor as suggested by Laura and she sent off the mother and son duo at the airport.

Elina and Alan sat in their private jet and the flight has only 10 minutes to take off.More than fifteen guards were there.Elina usually won't bring these much guards if it is some normal business trip but since it is that place it's better to be well prepared.

The flight took off and after 6 hours of journey they reached their destination.Alan was sleeping peacefully in Elina's arms and she was lost in her thoughts.

So the time came.It's time for me to face the past.You have gone through worse Eli.This is nothing.

Elina took a deep breath and woke Alan up.

They both came down holding hands.Elina took her shades and put on it.Under the bright sun her fair skin shined and her curves was very perfect.Nobody can say that she gave birth to a child.She was wearing a V-neck full sleeve color slicing black skirt with black angle high heel while Alan was wearing a black suit with a purple diamond brooch which is a very rare diamond piece.They are only two of it's kind in the whole world.He loved that brooch so much that we wanted to wear that to see his mother's birth place.

They both came down the plane hand in hand.As they both came down a woman in her twenties came to her."Long time no see,Claire" Elina said as she saw the woman.

"Welcome back ma'am"Claire who was Elina's personal assistant back in her birth city came to pick her up.Claire looked at Alan and smiled to which Alan smiled back cutely.He mostly won't smile to strangers but when he saw his mother smiling at her he knew that she was important to her.

"Shall we?" Claire showed her hands to the exit of the airport.They went outside the airport and saw many reporters coming their way."Claire, take Alan and go to my secret villa first.I'll come after dealing with this" Elina said at she saw the people.She doesn't want anyone to know about Alan for the moment.

Even if his identity is revealed his photos should not be taken or released.She sent half of the guards with them and took the other half with her to control the crowd.

As bunch of reporters started coming and people started to gather the guards with her started to make way.The lights were flashing and the reporters started taking picture of her.Elina took off her shades.

'Miss Mathews,where were you these six years?'

'What exactly happened that day when your father died?'

'Are you going to take after the Mathews corporation?'

Many questions were arised from the reporters and paparazzi present there.Elina stood there and raised her hand at them signaling them to stop and let her speak.

"I know you all must be curious about what happened before six years and where have I gone missing but it is not the time to answer these questions.I'll arrange a press meet in a few days you can ask these questions on that day.Now please leave way".

As she said that the guards made way for her to walk and the reporters keep asking questions.Elina went to the black Lamborghini that was waiting for her.

"You guys go to the house of Mathews.I'll come later and nobody is allowed to follow me"Elina said as she took the key from the driver.

"But ma'am..." one of the guard came forward.

"I said go".Elina glared at the guard who was coming forward to stop her.The guard gulped and stepped back.She took the car and started to drive at full speed towards the mountain.

After an hour of driving she reached the place she wanted to visit for long.

It's been six years but this place is the same as usual.How beautiful!

She looked at the falls and looked at the huge tree that was near her and touched the carvings on it.Suddenly her smile disappeared and coldness filled her eyes.

Memories flashed in her mind.

"What are you doing there?" a girl who seemed to be in her middle school asked looked at the boy who was doing some thing on the tree."Everyone in the school said that if we carve our names in the tree we will be together forever" a boy who was in his teen said.He took his pocket knife and started to carve their names.

A smile bloomed on the face of that little girl but she hidded it and said,"Silly things.Why don't you act like a man?".

"I will when you stop giving me that straight face and start acting like a girl" he said and laughed at the position she was sitting."What? You don't like me anymore?" she asked him with an eyebrow raised though she know the answer very well.

The boy who carving till now took back his knife and came to his girlfriend who was showing her back to him and throwing pebbles in the water.He hugged her from the back and put his chin on her shoulder.It was little cold out there since they were in the forest and it was evening time too.He snuggled more and said, "I will love you and will never leave your side till death apart us".

The memories became started disappearing as she heard the sound of wolves from the top of the mountain.It won't come down and always stays in the top of the mountain.

She let out a huge sigh and sat under the tree. She spent an hour there to relax.It was her favorite place when she was still in that city.That place is out of city so it's mostly deserted and so she used to go there when she wanted to calm down.

She decided drive to the secret villa where Claire took Alan.She sent the guards to her family's house but no one lives there now.She didn't wanted to stay there after what happened so she decided to stay at her own villa which is only known to a few trusted persons.

She again got on the car and drove to her villa.Many thoughts were going on in her mind as she was driving.She slide down the window and the fresh air touched her face messing up her hair.Her blonde hair was flying in the air because of the strong wind.Her deep blue eyes were shinning brightly like the ocean and her pink lips were humming a song.

Will I meet him again?What will happen if we were to cross paths again? But It's not like we can avoid each other forever.Let the destiny which made us meet and seperate decide it again.
