Chapter 554: The conclusion - 1
They had no idea how days after days passed.
Nestled in the arms of each other, they watched every sunrise and sunset together. They didn't even bother how things were in New York. An occasional call from David kept them briefly updated, but that was it.
As it was their last day in Norway, she was all sullen, she didn't want to leave that place at all. She got up early and freshened up to take some pictures for memories.
"Where are you going?" Asked a groggy Raymond.
"Will just take some pictures outside," she said and left a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.
Inhaling that intoxicating fragrance of hers, he went back into sleep.
.
.
An hour and a half later when he woke up, he didn't find her in the room. Getting up from the bed, he checked the bathroom, but she wasn't there.
He tried calling her, but her phone was switched off and that worried him to death. He rushed outside and called out for her.
"Akira!"
"Akira!"
But there was no reply.
He came inside and picked up his jacket, ready to call the police when he saw their locker open. Her passport taken and her purse was also gone.
"What the hell!"
He called up the site manager and enquired and one of the staff told that he had seen her hailing a cab.
"Where did she go?" he muttered, a part of him, dying from an unknown fear within. He called up the police and then informed David.
Ten minutes later when his phone buzzed with David's call, he picked it up on the first ring itself.
"Anything David?" he asked in a desperate tone.
"I see a flight to London booked in her name. And that leaves in around 47 minutes from now."
"But why is she going to London? And that too without letting me know. What happened that she cannot share with me?"
"I am sorry Raymond, but I have no clue as of now. I am trying to find though," David replied apologetically.
"Do one thing, check all her call logs and let me know who all have called her in the last one hour."
"I am already on it Raymond."
Pinching the space between his brows, Raymond slumped on the floor, still holding the phone in his hands.
But on the other side of the phone, David's heart just stopped.
"Raymond! I will call you after 10 minutes."
And he immediately disconnected.
Unable to understand what went wrong, Raymond immediately picked up his wallet and passport and drove his car towards the airport. He had a slim chance of being able to meet her, but still he didn't want to lose that small window of opportunity.
Reaching the airport, he purchased the next available flight to London and rushed through security. David had already sent the flight details to him, and he was just hoping against hope for her flight to be delayed.
But alas, the moment he reached her boarding gate, her flight was already rolling on the runway. There was no way to send her any message now.
He had no idea what she was up to, he had no idea where she was going to go either.
His flight was to be boarded another 30 minutes later, so he walked towards the help desk and requested to relay a message at the London airport for Akira.
Restless he called her up again but it was still switched off.
"Damn it Akira!" he cursed and banged his fist on the railing next to him, drawing the attention of a few around him. But he didn't bother about what others were thinking about him, because his own world was slowly ripping apart.
The fear of losing Akira was something that he was not able to take any more.
So next he called up David, but his phone was busy. Not knowing whom to contact next, under dire desperation he called the number of the one person, whom he never thought that he would call.
"Hello Raymond!" his smug voice rattled against his ears. "I knew you would call me. Desperate! I like this state of yours."
.
.
.
"Ring Ring"
"Hello David!"
"Hello Sebastian!"
"What happened? Everything all right with you? Everything all right with my son?" asked Sebastian upon hearing the worried tone of David.
"Akira has left Raymond without saying a word and I fear that she knows everything."
"Wait what? Who told her?"
"I think Vikram. Her call logs show his number twice this morning."
"Does my son know?"
"No. Not yet. Not as of now. But I fear that if he has told her, he will not hesitate to tell him as well. I thought you had handled the case of Vikram."
"That sc.u.m bastard!" Fumed Sebastian.
David could almost hear his blood boiling.
"Don't let Raymond reach her out. I will handle Vikram and Akira on my own."
"But Raymond asked for a ticket to London and has gone after her. He won't catch her but will reach London with the next flight."
"Send your men to London. They should block Raymond at London airport itself. He cannot meet her. He must have relayed a message to London airport for her. Block that out."
"What do you mean by handling Sebastian? Do you want to…" David asked, his voice shaken.
"I will finish off anyone, mind you anyone who comes in the way of my son. My attorney will handle Vikram. I will make sure he is ruined to dust. And as for Akira… I will see what I will do."
"The thing that happened to Peter. Did you have anything to do with it?" asked David hesitantly.
"Let's just say, I like to keep some things to myself David and it would be better if you mind your own business and do only what is being told. Scratching the surface with only make your ails bleed."
"Erm… Yeah. I understand."
And a chill ran down his spine as he disconnected the call. He had to do something to save Akira. So he called up the one man whom he could trust the most.
