“Don’t you believe that death can be the final answer?”

“Say something, I want to hear you.”

“Liam, Liam, Liam………………………………LIAM.” (someone screams Liam's name aloud)

Liam woke up from his dream; his whole body was drenched in sweat. He continued to gasp for breath, his green eyes were filled with tears and his slim hands were trembling. His veins popped up in neck and in his forearms. 

“The same dream again. It has been a year now. I am still scared of this voice.”

“What’s the time?” Liam looks at his phone. It was 6 o'clock. He tried again to sleep but failed to do so. To refresh his mind, he plans to go for a jog.

After getting ready Liam goes for a jog, after running for fifteen minutes he reaches a park. At the park many elders were exercising. Liam saw a man who looked muscular from back and seemed to be in good shape. 

Liam follows the man as he seems familiar, he looks closely, it was Alex. He looks handsome even this early in the morning. How is that possible? He got a hero’s face and a villain’s character. What a combination? I should be careful. Don’t fall for that face, Idiot. Liam slaps his face gently. 

Liam then quickly hides behind a tree. He takes another glance and shockingly thinks what is he doing here? A coincident? Is he following me? I have never seen him in the area. He definitely is up to something.

Liam Murmur softly behind the tree “Recently these not so obvious, obvious coincidences are making my suspicion clear. Whatever the reason, I think I had to get some information. And I am going to get it from him only.” Liam chuckles and with a cheeky expression approaches his target. 

Alex was stretching out in a corner of the park. He hears footsteps approaching him nervously. He continues to do his exercise and pretends to not notice. 

Liam stood in front of Alex who was now doing push ups on the ground. Alex looks up in those emerald eyes who are full of mischief right now. 

Liam suddenly breaks the silence with a loud greeting “Good morning, Professor.”

“I did not know you were living in this area. Are you new here?”

Alex understands Liam's approach but he decides to play along and responds “Good Morning Liam. I did not have any idea you were a morning person. What a surprise?”

Liam feels a little frustrated after hearing the response but he tries to keep his calm. 

“Professor you don’t know, I am full of surprises. It's all about time, until you see.”

Alex smiles to himself and looks at Liam who was sitting on a nearby bench. He teasingly moves towards Liam and replies “Then I think I should wait for the right time.”

At the lame response Liam starts to lose his patience and suddenly inquires in a low tone “Are you following me? Do you want something?”

Alex now was near to Liam and he leans toward Liam and looks directly in his eyes “And what if I really want something. Will you give it to me?”

Liam gets flustered by Alex's move, a soft red color like pitch appears on Liam’s cheeks and ears. Alex was looking at those very details carefully; he was tracing every inch of changing expressions on Liam’s face. 

Liam gently nudges Alex aside and gets up. A mysterious smile appears on Alex's face but he hides it. 

Liam again picks himself up and says “So this proves my point. You really are following me. Why? Don’t tell me just because of yesterday's talk.”

“Is it because of those lines you intentionally saw in my book?”

Alex straightens up from his position and looks in the opposite direction and answers “You can think what you want but you should talk about such things. The decision is up to you.”

“I asked you yesterday a question in the car. I will repeat it so answer accordingly -What is difficult to earn, Love or money? Liam.” 

Liam was distracted by elders who were enjoying the morning exercise. He again misses the question. After hearing no response from Liam, Alex understands Liam did not pay attention earlier which makes his blood boil with anger. 

Alex suddenly grabs Liam from his collar and brings him too close to his face. Liam suddenly feels scared and tries to escape from the grip. But he was unable to do so because of Alex’s strength. Liam feels helpless but the whole thing pushes his anger to peak.

Liam “Do you understand what you are doing? Let me go.” 

Alex watches Liam struggle and brings him a little closer now their faces are about 10 inches apart. Liam gets a feeling of chills running down through his spine. He suddenly remembers the murder incident. 

Alex looks closely at Liam’s face and says “Why are you doing it again. Don’t inflame my anger.”

“Don’t make me repeat myself.”

“It feels like you’re begging for trouble, don’t you?” 

Liam pulls Alex’s hands away from his collar in anger and goes without looking back. Alex calms himself out and thinks LIAM, you really are something. Manage to bring out my deepest dark side in just a few minutes. Interesting. 

In the meantime, Emma came from the other side of the park and waved her hand towards Alex “What are you doing here Alex? Come let's go home.”
