Chapter 167 - Her Scars! (1)
"I..I...lost..soone very dear to . Not Once, or twice but thrice in my life till now…"
Jennifer was able to mutter these words in between sobs which was already a big shock for Javier to learn.
Never, until now did he expect her to go through such a vital loss, of losing soone closer to her.
Yes, he might have been through that experience too but not more than once.
Recalling his ti, he can clearly rember how much the past incidents changed him.
"Wh...Who..was it? If you are comfortable to say.." Javier made sure to sound assured, though he can feel himself shivering a little bit.
Jennifer lowered her face, to see her fingers intertwingled with each other and trying to ease her announcents, "First… when I was a child, second, when I was a teen and thirdly...when I was..back in my university days. Life has been never much kinder to , Javier."
Her eyes turned red recalling all how much she misses all of them.
If it was a re accident, she would have accepted the sa yet it wasn't a re incident.
Especially, the third ti when she rembered it crystal clear that the person died, in front of her eyes itself.
"The first ti was when I was still a child.. around six to seven years old at that ti. I still rember… I had a puppy with . He was too cute and my parents were kind enough for ..to bring a roommate like him.."
"They did take notice that I have so likings towards so pups so.. they brought the one.. his na was Lucifer."
Jennifer murmured in her timid voice with a lot of silence engulfing her.
Licking her lips, she tried her best to control her beating heart yet it wasn't in her hand either to stop herself from letting the fear of sothing known to capture her very soon.
The grip of her hand around her items of clothing tightened, "Lucifer…was too much love to . Wherever I used to go, I would bring him along with . The only exception was school as pets aren't allowed there."
"What happened to your dear dog then?" Javier asked with a sweet little tone.
Despite her feeble voice in the pitch darkness, her body language did change imnsely.
It doesn't go unnoticed from his eyes to feel that she was feeling discomfort but sohow trying to overco it too.
'Probably, she has never shared her deepest fear with anyone else in her lifeti..'
"Lucifer... was at ho and my mother used to bring him on walks while I was away from the house, in the school. I still rember, I was at my school during the day and later on, hoped into the bus when the school finished."
"It is unclear what happens on the midway but when I stepped out of the bus, near my ho, I saw my mother and father surrounded near sothing."
Tears were on the verge of falling.
Her eyes were already red, now looked more like red jelly with the nose and cheeks turning red as tomatoes.
Covering her face, she tried to sound normal as always yet it was disturbing or more difficult to act as if nothing major happened.
Staring at her face, Javier brought his other hand on her shoulders and whispered, "Sh… Lucifer won't be happy to see you like this."
"Then.. why did he even left ?" Jennifer replied with her eyes closed and face covered. "No one has control over anyone's death. God had given him a life to love and he loved that.."
She was against everything that happened and Javier already knew this from her facial expressions as well.
When Javier didn't reply, did she continue?
"Yes… you are right but.. he was taken away by in the cruelest manner where he experienced the most deathless death."
Javier didn't add anything but gave her enough ti to speak.
Rather, he drove the car at the minimum speed so that she could express her feelings.
He wasn't eager to reach ho, instead of waiting patiently to hear out her sorrow, which shaped her into the woman she is now.
In the end, Jennifer shredded her tears and nodded her head, to indicate she is fine.
Showing a thumbs up, she continued "I saw my Lucifer was covered in blood. He was.. lying on the ground motionless and at that mont, a six years old received her first shock and ca face to face with the word called, 'Death'.."
Hiccups started to co in between when she tried to sound normal. Javier imdiately patted her back and when she found her breathe again, she completed her words.
"My mum told that when she's taking Luci... for a walk, it was Lucifer who was hit by a truck and in the end.. you know what happened so I guess I don't need to elaborate that."
Javier nodded his head in understanding.
It was easy to guess that her dear dog died in an accident by coming under the truck driver. "That… how a six years old Jennifer lost soone close to her.."
"For the very first ti, I lost soone most dear to at that mont. When can you expect a six years old child to know and understand!? Hahaha. a.a similarly, I cried too much that I don't have my baby with but.. in the end, accepted slowly and gradually overca the grief with my parent's help."
It was the hardest part to know that soone you love is not anymore in this world.
Lowering his eyes, Javier's face is covered with a small smirk, "Death a part of life.."
His words did make sense to her but that brought a light scoff of her lips as well.
"Yes. But when you witness that every ti you're getting close to in your life is snatched from you, in the end, you start avoiding everything and everyone out there."
