My morning had never been peaceful like this .
Even though I had suddenly ended up at the other side of the country in just a night .
I had messaged Liam -
Do not call the police, if you do , you will see my corpse .
I knew that I was just bluffing, but he knew that too .
But he had replied only three words -
Just come back .
It sounded like a pleading but also like a threat .
Just come back and feel my wrath !
As if I would .
I rather would sit there and eat the boiled eggs and breads my brother had brought for breakfast.
I could not believe how grown up he had become .
It felt like yesterday, he was leaving the country to study . He was three years younger than me but now he acted like a wayyy better parent than our own parents ever were .
" Let's eat ice cream for lunch ," Jasper informed me happily, I nodded .
I never asked him why he was back in the county .
He , too , never questioned my marital life .
We were just two peaceful souls walking around the beach and feeding breads to the seagulls.
Maybe because it was early morning and Jasper had armored me with sunglass and a cap , that was why the crowd did not bother with me .
Jasper also showed me how he had practiced the dancebreak of our group's song ' A beautiful lie '.
At the noon a call came from Seymore .
" Are you going to be back at the dorm ?," he asked .
" As long as you don't have Anderson in the dorm ."
" Erm."
I cut off the call .
Seymore knew that he would have to cancel all of my schedule tonight .
I had never taken a day off like this .
Eventually Jasper opened up.
" You know....I want to drop out of the college, sis ."
" And I want to divorce Anderson ."
" You can not do that !," Jasper shrieked," Dad will kill you ."
" Dad will kill you too if you drop out of the college," I sighed , lying on the sand .
" You know that I thought you would be happy in marriage atleast, you used to crush on Anderson since forever ."
He was right . I stared at the soft blue sky ,watching the startling white seagulls fly around ," I do not know anymore ."
The sea was peaceful, but I knew that eventually I had to go back .
As the evening started rolling purple hue around the sky , several black cars had pulled on the beach .
I sat up ,watching the men approaching me.
" You are to return now , Mrs. Anderson ," said one of the men .
They were probably the security hired by the only person who would put that surname with my name .
I put down my cap and threw away my sunglass .
Jasper shouted at them as he came running ," Hey !"
" I will only go peacefully if you don't touch that man ," I pointed at Jasper .
" Julia !," Jasper looked alarmed , he had gone to bring us more ice creams .
And here now he has pair of them in his hand.
They were melting and falling on the sand but he barely noticed it .
" Let me say goodbye," I told them .
" Your company was also ordered to be brought in ."
" I know ," I nodded , knowing Liam , he would look for the one who has assaulted him ," But touch him and you will see me scream and make a scene so we all can be in headlines in the newspaper tomorrow."
" You will already be in the headline tomorrow," one of the security guy smiled handling me a tablet .
It showed a picture of me and Jasper on the beach , laughing and playing around . Jasper's face was blurred but mine was not .
" Surely you will not want Sunshine corporation in it too ."
The man pulled out his phone and started talking . I did not need to much iq to understand it was Liam Anderson on the other side .
" Okay ," the guard bowed ," After you Mrs . Anderson."
I waved my brother a weak bye .
" Wait ! Julia ."
I stopped and watched my brother run towards me. He had already dropped the ice-cream.
He took out a pen and wrote his number on my palm .
" Call me whenever you want to run away ."
The promise consoled me . I hugged him tightly even though , now I knew that somewhere there was some reporter taking pictures of us , twisting the fact for public entertainment.
" I promise," I told him ," So do not forget to pick up the phone when I call you , okay ?"
The road back to my life was full of silence . Even though my phone kept ringing , I did not have any strength to pick them up .
The moment of vacation with my brother already felt like a dream .
The news on the tablets had various titles like ' Autumn in her spring season ' ' Scandal of Autumn Dane , fans showing disappointment '
' Finally peeling off the mask - Scandal of Autumn Dane ' ,' Autumn Dane and her rumoured boyfriend - will the group 'Four Seasons' disband '?
Inspite of the titles , I felt peaceful looking at the pictures . I never had good pictures with my brother like that . Most of them were away back in years , were all of us wore formal clothes and had unsmiling face while looking at the camera .
The thought of having this pictures soothed me somehow . I was lost in them until the car stopped .
I looked around .
" Isn't this parking lot of Weavers parking lot "
" Yes ," the driver nodded ," please wear your cap and mask ."
What was Liam trying to do now ?
Weavers was the agency of ' Sweet Hell ," and if I was correct this was one of their official buildings.
I had never walked inside Weavers building after our marriage. We had a strict rule of avoiding each other's work places .
But that did not matter now , I guessed .
Since Liam was starting to date Mira , nobody will bat an eye at me coming to Weavers again.
That made my heart ache .
Maybe all these years I had been just too stupid to realise I was never really going to be a part of Liam Anderson's life .
I was just someone he was going to leave , anyway .
