339 I love you Akira! I always have
Their car had reached a busy junction on the street and the red traffic light was on. Seeing that as the perfect window of opportunity, Raymond decided to alight from the car. He took out a parcel from the inner pocket of his trench coat and handed it to Akira and said,
"Read this carefully. This will explain everything to you. What you need to do and how you need to do. And don't worry, I will make everything fine, but right now, I need to get down and mix with the crowd. Not sure if someone is following us."
Saying that he looked into her uncertain and scared eyes and was completely moved. He quickly pulled her close and gave a small chaste but warm kiss on her forehead and said,
"I love you Akira. I always have. Just keep these words in your mind."
And saying that he quickly got down while the traffic signal was still red and impregnated himself with the crowd.
All helpless, Akira looked in the direction in which he had left trying to console her frigid nerves, trying to calm her heart and braving herself that she could fight a battle for the sake of him again.
As the car moved ahead, Akira quickly opened the parcel.
There was a small notebook inside the parcel and a letter and some legal papers. Keeping everything aside, Akira opened the letter first as she could see that it was handwritten by Raymond.
She started reading the letter,
.
.
"No one should know that I am back and I mean no one in all seriousness. I know it might be hard to hide it, but we need to keep it hidden this way for a couple of days. Just a couple of days Akira.
When the time is right I am going to disclose it to everyone. I will unfurl the proclamation of our love. But right now, we need to gather forces, we need to fight this.
Mr. Takai and his team have been taken care of by my dad and they are not going to disclose anything about me it in any way to anybody, else there will be repercussions for them. I think my dad had scared them enough with the impending lawsuits so the word is not going to come out. So apart from you and David, no one knows about me.
Trust David, no matter what happens. No matter what circumstances you are in, he will pull you out, because he will always tell you the right thing to do.
This might sound weird and out of the blue, but enroll yourself for Tango lessons, two streets away from your house. The studio name is - "Antilla". That will be our meet up point. I am not going to let all this last more than a week. Just bear with me till all this is over. Even I am dying to be with you as a regular couple in love.
But hey, what's the fun in being ordinary?
So just have faith in me and do as I say.
The notebook inside will guide you through the things that you need to do as soon as possible. I have marked a couple of things to be done, mostly legal things that need to be handled by you. Take care of them as soon as possible. The contact number of my advocate and a CA is there on the last page.
And the most important thing. Read this letter and destroy it. Burn it, flush it. Do anything to remove any trace of it, because Sebastian's men can enter your house and search for anything or any clue at any time. So always stay cautious.
Keep that notebook somewhere safe and away from the reach of anyone. Keep destroying its pages as and when the job is done and most importantly stay safe Akira. I cannot focus more on this part. It's imperative.
Anytime, anyhow if you feel you are being followed, then let me know. But use the private number for any sort of communication. Also if you want to call and talk, then call me on my private number only. At any cost do not call on my regular number. It would be better if you delete that contact in the first place.
And this is the last thing that I wanted to say.
You are the best thing that has happened to me Akira. And I promise you, I will not let you shed a single tear more."

She looked at the letter again and touched the last line with her fingers. The letter was handwritten by Raymond and was something that she wanted to treasure forever. But she knew that it had to be destroyed.
So, taking a deep breath, she tore it into multiple pieces and kept them inside her bag, so that she could throw them after going back to her room.
She opened the notebook and flipped through each page very carefully.
After reading a couple of pages, taking an exasperated breath, she mumbled,
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into because of me Raymond?", saying that she closed the notebook and opened the legal papers. She went through them carefully line by line and then signed at the end of the document.
She put everything back into the parcel and looked outside through her car window.
They were crossing the Cemetary near her house, so she requested the Cab driver to keep running the meter while she went to the cemetery.
She stopped near the tombstone which had been placed for Raymond. She knelt down in front of it and said,
"I am sorry for believing even for a second that you were gone. I am sorry for even accepting the existence of this tombstone. But don't worry, you are not fighting this alone. I will unmask these people who are turning you paranoid. I will avenge on your behalf, Raymond. Don't you worry?"
"I will protect you till my last breath and I will make Happily Ever After possible for us."
Saying that she wiped her tears and got up.
