Chapter = 61

" What's the whole truth Lyrica? "

Daisuke finally asked with his hand still holding onto her wrist with her back facing him. She didn't turned around and stayed still in her place as a hush fell around the place. She hesitated, turning around slightly.

" That worker had placed cameras in changing rooms. I found out fortunately and exposed him— "

Daisuke interrupted in midway. His voice soft yet deep.

" I know. And I'm sorry for using harsh words at you. "

As she remained silent, he took a step closer to her

" What I want to know is, what happened that day......that old blind beggar. "

She looked up in suprised at his words. She wasn't expecting him to be watching her from afar. She took a deep breath in before speaking.

" That night, I was returning home when I saw some teenagers messing with that poor blind uncle, they took away his money from him and replaced them with fake notes. After they left, I was just taking the fake notes from him, I didn't meant to steal or harm him. I again replaced those fake notes with the real money from my purse. "

Daisuke stayed silent. It was a lot to take in. His eyes soften as he realised the extent of how much he accused her for things she didn't do. He had really misunderstood her. Daisuke swallowed hard, the guilt filling his entire heart after hearing her words. He didn't knew how to appologize in words which didn't hurted her.

" Then what about your elder sister— "

" Don't take her name in front of me. "

Daisuke was taken aback at how harshly Lyrica spoke when he suddenly brought in her sister in their conversation. Her eyes were filled with hatred and hurt as she hissed in annoyance.

" Do not take her name in front of me. "

Daisuke took another step closer. His mind swilling in confusion. He watched her again turning away from him

" But why do you hate her so much. What did she do to you Lyrica? "

It was only few words for everyone listening or reading. But it was everything for Lyrica. The way he said it made her pause. The way he said made her rethink that maybe.....maybe he cares. She remained still as suddenly he pulled her in his arms. It made her breath hitched. Her heart did a flip inside her chest. His hot breath against her ear as he whispered.

" What did she do to you? "

Lyrica closed eyes tightly. First time in 14 years, someone had asked. Someone had cared and someone was willing to hear things out. It was all overwhelming for her. She took a deep breath, something about the way he was holding her. She felt like maybe she can speak her heart now.

" I was 5 years old when sister Lyra was adopted by our father. She was 8 year old when she came in our family. My parents adopted her because they thought they would never get a child again in this life. We were happy. I was happy to have a older sister. But after some months. "

Flashback

It was only few months of Lyra joining the Mr. River's family when they suddenly found out that Mrs. River was pregnant with a baby girl. It was a shocking news because everyone had assumed that she would never have a baby again.

The little Lyrica was overjoyed after finding out that they would be having a younger sister soon. As she played in playground with Lyra she suddenly picked up a pebble, showing it to Lyra excitedly.

" Sister! Sister! Look what I found! "

Lyra smiled back happily while gazing at the moon shaped pebble. It was beautiful and soft to touch. Lyrica had somehow found it in between the soils.

" It's soo beautiful! Lyri, where did you find it? "

" It was just here. I didn't noticed it before!! I'll give it to my little sister when she'll come out to play with us! "

From start, it was Lyra with whom Lyra shared her everything with and this sentance caused Lyra to feel insecure about the new member that was about to join the family.

Lyra stared at Lyrica who was happily building her soil castle. She reminded herself that, the upcoming member is also her sister and she's not supposed to feel this way but Lyr couldn't stop it.

Days passed as Lyra noticed everyone getting more and more happy about the new baby. She again and again was reminded by herself that she's the adopted one here and when this new baby will come, she'll ne forgotten.

When their sister was born. They named her — Linmi.

Everything was going great but Lyra's insecurity only grew with time. She did loved Linmi but she only got more insecure when Linmi turned 1 year old.

And when one day they all were going to a family trip, an accident occurred where both of their parents died. Lyrica was badly injured, unable to move when she suddenly saw something. Her blood ran cold as she desparetely tried to get out of the car.

" Sister!!! What are you doing?! "

She couldn't believe it. In few more attempts, Lyrica managed to get out of the turned car and sprint towards the bridge where Lyra stood with their sister Linmi in hand.

Lyrica tried to stop but Lyra dropped Linmi from bridge into the deep water under the bridge.

Flashback End

" I hate her for it. I hate her a lot for it. She killed my entire family, my entire world. Took everything from me and you expect me to talk to her? "

Daisuke was frozen. He didn't knew the whole truth. And now when he knew, he no longer could blame Lyrica.

" But why did she did that? "

Lyrica wipped the tears from her cheeks as she replied in a cold tone.

" I don't know and I don't want to know. She just said that someone with red eyes told her to do it.  "

Another mystery had arrived just after a mystery was solved. What exactly was the reason Lyra did it? Was Chisuke again the reason why Linmi died?
