Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 4: 4. FEAR OF THE RODENT

Four years passed.

The gates of A city women's prison was opened and a small papery thin woman came out of it.

Wearing the same overcoat that was handed over to her by the security guard at the gate of Evan villa. It looked completely worn out but still Bella felt content wearing it.

She stood at the door of the prison with old and new scars. After suffering a harsh life in the prison, this woman, who was once the most beautiful woman of city A is now beyond recognition.

Once beautiful silky waist long here is now dull yellow looking rough and cut short and were roughly covering her right forhead as to cover something beneath.

Her natural milky white smooth skin now had wrinkles, it's dry, rough and full of scars and old blood patche's spots in blue and black colour.

God's own love creative eyes are now dull and lifeless. If you see carefully, one can find something peculiar about her right eye.

She was ridiculously thin that her overcoat seemed very heavy on her shoulders.

There was no one around, still the woman's head and spine were low.

She turned and saw that gate once again then she started walking towards the road.

Balancing her right lower limb with right hand and holding a transparent plastic bag in left hand. She was limbing towards the bus station.

While waiting for the next bus, she opened her plastic bag and counted the money which she has earned during her stay in the prison. There was total of 21 dollars in her bag.

Though she was in the prison for 4 years, more then half of her money was used for some other purpose and she was left with just 21 dollars.

A bus stopped and Bella slowly boarded the bus. Her head was naturally down and she paid 1 dollar as her bus fair and started moving towards the rare end.

Before she could be seated, the driver started his engine. With a sudden jerk, Bella feel on the seat, but she didn't complain.

Even the driver seem to be least bothered. He never liked this route. As those who boarded from this station are all criminals. Bella sat down and started looking outside. A lot has changed.

Suddenly her eyes became heavy and she slept. She doesn't know for how long she has slept but she was woken up by load scolding noise of the driver.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she meet with pair of angry eyes who were scolding her. She saw a hand approaching her, she spontaneously kept her hands on her chest and her entire body was trembling and she screamed, "noooo.. please... stop!" , in an ear piercing voice.

Driver was taken back by this attitude of her's. He was just trying to wake her up by patting on her shoulder. He looked at her with disgust and told her to get out of the bus as he has reached the last stop.

Bella was literally chased out of the bus by the driver. But this humble lady didn't say a word but thanked the driver for waking her up.

She has learned a lot in the prison, especially how to be humble and grateful that she was still alive.

She got down of the bus and looked around. A totally unfamiliar surrounding. This was the time when she realised that she has no place to go.

With 20 dollars in her hand she can't afford a hotel. She started wondering on the street alone, in the hope to find a secluded place where she can sleep for the night.

She saw a small bakery, she entered and saw the rack full of delicacies. Suddenly she felt that all the eyes are on her. She quickly asked for a bread and a bottle of water. She didn't speak a single word but said in symbols. As she came out of the shop, shop keepers whispered "such an ugly weird woman".

After paying, she rushed outside and sat on a brick in an empty alley. Two rodents came running out the garbage can, which was placed near the brick on which Bella was sitting.

Seeing the rodents running, two beautiful women, of age around 30 years, screamed in fear and gave a dirty and surprising look at Bella and ran away. Bella also once was scared of rodents but not anymore.

It was the time when she was 16 years old. Two years before she was sentence to jail.

Few of her friends have gone for camping which included Henry Jackson too. They were divided into group of 2 , in total 8 groups.

All the boys wanted to take this opportunity and be Bella's partner, as it was the best chance to come close to her in this long forest hicking and reaching the camp side. But Bella tricked Henry and they became partners.

Everyone, including Henry was aware of this, but he didn't say a word. Hicking started. All the boys tried hard to come first as they wanted to impression the beauty of City A, Bella Evans.

Bella was not in a hurry, as she just wanted to stay alone with Henry as long as possible. Bella was enjoying every minute of this hiking trip. Sometimes she would run, sometimes she will pretend to be tired and make Henry hold her hand while walking. Sometimes she will pretend that she is unable to

walk and will climb Henry's back and become his piggy bag. All through out Henry resisted but could not stop Bella from troubling him.

He was fed up of Bella and threw her on the ground. Bella fell hips first on the ground. Her butts pained.

She made a frowning sad face and while rubbing her ass , she spoke in anger, "Henry Jackson, why did you do that? And that too to me, Bella Evans!"

Bella was an arrogant proud beauty. Henry did not reply and started walking ahead.

Bella chased him and held him tight by his wrist and said, "Listen Henry, I know you don't like me but I love you and you and this entire world knows that. Even if you don't love me, that's not a problem either because I know, one day I will make you love me.

No one can be your wife other then me, Bella Evans. Sorry, Mrs. Bella Henry Jackson." Saying that Bella left his wrist, hid her tomato red face, blushed and started giggling and dreaming.

All of a sudden it started raining heavily. Bella got panicked. She was scared of rain and thunderstorm. It was pouring heavily. Bella could not see Henry.

It seems that while Bella was day dreaming about her future with Henry. The latter walked by. Bella was scared and she started walking fast, calling his name. But he was no where to be seen.

A strong arm stopped her and pulled her by her wrist and entered an empty dry cave. The cave was dark. Bella was already scared.

Since childhood, Bella was scared of two things, thunderstorm and darkness.

But as she grew , she was surrounded by one more fear. And that fear was getting abandoned by Henry. Henry was her life. She herself doesn't know when she feel in love with him so much.

It was dark, something ran over her feet. Bella was scared, she screamed, at the same time there was a loud noise of lighting, she ran fast and hugged Henry totally in fear. She held Henry so tight , as if she wants to melt in his arms.

Henry had just removed his soaked shirt. He was bare chest. Bella's T-shirt was soaking wet and was hugging her so well that all her curves were seen beautifully.

With water droplets on her face, juicy silky pink lips, beautifully curved body which was emitting a natural fragrance of lily. Henry was tempted.

He subconsciously held Bella tightly in his arms. Bella became nervous.

In sexy voice Henry asked, "What are you scared off?"

"Thunderstorm and darkness. An.. an.. and.." Bella found it difficult to finish her sentence. She wanted to "... loosing you." but Henry's this behaviour made it difficult for her to finish her sentence.

Henry's right hand was moving on her back whereas his left hand was holding her waist tightly.

Their eyes met, Bella was feeling little uncomfortable and started resisting his touch.

Henry was completely turned on by Bella's beauty. Bella was looking so pure and at the same time so seductive. He started touching her every where. Slowly he held her chin softly and raised it to face him.

Bella was hesitating, "Henry no, this is not right."

Henry bent down and whispered in her ears, "Relax... I am there.. I will take all the responsibility... I will protect you.. Always.." saying that, he bit on her earlobe.

Bella opened her eyes with this sudden and sensual act. Henry was pleased with her reaction.

Slowly he started licking her ear, moved down to her swan white neck. Started licking and kissing there.. hard. While nibbling her collar bone, his one hand held her head and other went inside her waist. He felt her smooth, silky, perfect figured waist.

A strange current like feeling swept over Bella. Her eyes were tightly closed. Her body was trembling. Nothing went unnoticed by Henry and he was actually loving this moment.

He gazed at her wet juicy lips. He couldn't wait to suck away all the sweet nectar. He went for her lips.

There lips were hardly 2 cms apart, when suddenly Cindy with her cousin Leo appeared.

Henry pushed Bella away. Cindy was too busy in fixing her hair, so she didn't notice anything but Leo saw it all.

Leo always knew that Henry liked Bella but could not understand the reason why was Henry continously denying his feelings. And why was he so interested in his cousin Cindy. Who was also beautiful but comparatively she was no match to Bella.

Be it in beauty, in intelligence, in manners, in reputation.. Bella was perfect in everything. Bella was such a pure beauty that every second generation young master, not only wanted her, but also felt that she is one who can be taken home to their parents.

Where as Cindy was far below this scale. Though she was from a country side and people presumed that all the country side girls are naive and pure. But Cindy was totally opposite of this. She was very out going, modern and surely not pure.

But Leo dared not disclose her real colours infront of Henry or anyone else.

He was in a huge debt of Cindy's family. Leo was raised by them since his parents died, when he was only 6 years old.

They never differentiated him from their only child, Cindy. They loved him equally. And always taught him to forgive Cindy everytime and support and protect her always, no matter what.

Bella was flushed, her entire face of red like monkey's bottom. She covered her face and moved aside and sat.

Cindy Anderson, who was now already a courted woman of Henry, came to him and asked in a seductive way, " what's going on here?"

"She has FEAR OF RODENT" Henry replied as if nothing happened between the two few minutes back and walked on the other side.

Rain stopped and all four of them walked towards the camp area. Almost everyone were there. Camp was set up in the open field of a 5 star resort, so it had good dry areas and good source of light.

As soon as Bella sat down, Alora Hush, one of the young miss of Hush family, who hated Bella for her beauty and was jealous for her for her intelligence, asked, "Bella, what's those marks on your neck?".

Everyone's attention was shifted towards Bella. She felt embarrassed and her face was flushed red. Henry saw her response and gave a wicked smile and waited for Bella's response.

Suddenly something came in her mind and she said, "We were stuck in a cave, to avoid the rain, there were lots of insects and mosquitos there. These are probably their bit allergy." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Saying that Bella got up and rushed to her tent without looking back. Henry knew that they can not tell the truth but he was somehow disappointed by her response. So even he went to his tent, excusing himself for changing his clothes.

Cindy saw their response. Actually she has seen everything that happened in the cave but pretended to be innocent in front of Henry. She gave a wicked smile and continued to chat with Leo. She already

knew what she has to do next.
