FATE'S ENCOUNTER

Claudia finally made her way into the expected room with hopes she would find reasons to bring up criticisms over her best friend. However, she was under skock when she found herself in a well organised room.

The aura in the room was as sad as the painted plain walls. In the middle of the room lied a huge family bed, not far was also a long lenght wordrobe, with a door next by it, she guessed it must be leading towards the bath room.

Since it wasn't her center of attention, Claudia walked round the room looking at every little arrangements.

It was quite a disgrace to compare her messy little room with such a breathtaking room.

"Wow, this is really amazing, it is above my expectations."

Claudia said;

"What kind of expectations, if I may know?"

and immediately she heard a male voice behind her, it was certainly not that of Lewis.

Once she turned towards the Unknown voice, she saw a good looking guy with dark hair and lovely grey eyes.

He was dressed in blue jersey accompanied with black slim trousers. His long legs and muscular arms gave him a perfect male shape with his slim curve.

"Have you suddenly become mute or you are simply dumb to answer."

His appearance was lovely, but his words were fierce and cold, freezing her heart with fear as Devison took slow steps towards her.

Her heart began beating faster than she could count. She felt a warmth and cold temperature filling her body.

Even at this point, she couldn't explain why she was suddenly captivated by the cold guy standing in front of her.

" Are you going to speak up, what type of expectations can a burglar have?"

Devison said,

" What!... Sorry sir, but you're deluding yourself, I'm not a burglar"

Claudia said after gathering enough courage to confront Devison.

Unexpectedly Devison kept approaching her till she found herself caught by the wall. He wall slammed her using his left hand and there by showing his authority over her.

" If you're not, then tell me what you are and why you're in my room?"

"Your.... your room...you mean this is your room?".

At that moment, Claudia felt she had made to wrong choice by taking the freedom to explore arround and now she could only try to appologise.

"Are you trying to play the innocent or rather the ignorant angel?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your room, I admit my mistake, please accept my sincere apologies. I shall now take my leave, please excuse me..."

At that she thought it had all ended and she'll walk out of Devison's room asap. The moment she reach out her hands towards the door, Devison banged the door at her face.

A sudden tension of fear evolved in her heart and she just wished she could turn into a bird and flee away but reality wasn't so imaginative.

" Burglar, where the hell do you think you're heading to? I don't think I have given you the permission to leave yet, so you're gonna stay here and be judged."

"Huh!"

Claudia exclaimed in hearing his cold voice, her body suddenly trembled out of nervouseness.

She agreed that she was on the wrong and had already appologised for it, yet she couldn't figure out why Devison won't let go so easily.

Even if she was scared by his fierce look, she felt it wouldn't be good to let herself suppressed by him, no mater who he was.

"Listen sir, I fully admit being in the wrong because I permitted myself in your room. But I already explained it was a mistake, and I appologised for that already. However I won't acquiesce to your insults, because I'm not a burglar and I haven't taken anything from here."

" If that is the case, then prove it."

"You can check by yourself and you'll see if something went missing."

"One can never be aware of a missing piece in a vaste room, but it's easier to trace it right from the source. So why not just strip you off and see."

At the verge of breaking down, Claudia couldn't imagine what would happen to her if she doesn't escape from the one she considered a chauvinist.

When she less expected, Lewis who had heard his brother's last words, he immediately came in to protect Claudia like a shield.

"That's enough Devison, please don't scare her any further. It's my fault if she got lost and found herself in your room, please blame it on me and not her."

"Lewis !", Claudia exclaimed with a radiant smile of a girl that had just been saved from the lion's claws.

" I see, so she's your friend?", Devi son asked

"Yes, and we had known each other for long now , Claudia would never take anything that doesn't belong to her, please she...."

"Never mind Lewis, it was all my fault and so I take the blame on my curiosity."

Claudia said , with hopes that she would be heard.

" Whatever, I've had enough of this game. It seems my silly brother always get's entangled with interesting people.I just hope you won't fall for me."

"What!"

Claudia exclaimed in hearing his last sentence, but Lewis suddenly came in between Claudia and Devison.

Though being blood brothers, Claudia could clearly sense a kind of ressentment between the brothers.

Just like they had been figting over an invisible source in their whole life. The nature of their life seemed to have created a boundary to their fraternity, with no possible bridge to bring both brothers together.

Claudia couldn't explain the awkward feeling she felt at that moment and how did a normal day turn to such an encounter, was it just fate trying to express itself, or just a coincidence that she needed to close her eyes to?

Claudia thought about it all over again once she retired home. Flashes of that event still turned in her mind as if she was still presently witnessing it.

She was even more intrigued by the feeling she had at the thought of Devison .

'Is it really what I'm thinking about? Probably not.'

Claudia replied to her question and lay on her bed, finally closing her eyes with hopes everything would turn to normal and her questions were just useless.
