CHAPTER 2 B
Unsaid Good-Bye
Outside Supreme Court of Texas,
On the steps leading to the court hall
Downtown Austin,
Texas
5th july 2013
Somewhere around noon
As soon as Mr. James Blackwell was dragged out of the courtroom he was lead to a van standing at the foot of stairs... But The authorities had a tough time mainly due to the manic paparazzi swarming outside the court... each of the reporter present there wanted to have a kill , Because it was a scoop of a life time due of two reasons one it was Blackwell two again Scion of Blackwell embroiled in a murder case... Rumors were flying right left and center on the possible cause for such a lame representation of a person who not only belonged to a family...powerful but most respected too in all of North America and Britain... some were of the opinion that Mr. James was a psycho and Others were suspicious of Mr. Richards as he washed his hands off the whole affair
x-x-x-x
Mr. James Blackwell Belonged to the illustrious Blackwell Family... who were and still hold the titles of Duchy of Bradford shire, Brittany, Count of Windsor, a string of hotels, hospitals, child care homes, woman welfare schemes, a tabloid and dozens of schools...almost all the elders have been Knighted so was Sir Richard Blackwell (James's Father) .. Fate has many ways to play it's game Mr. Richards and Mrs. Irina Richards had no heir to their legacy even after 12 years of successful and happy marriage being a single child to their parents they were staring at a possible lapse of their titles and properties which would go to 4 trusts acc to the will and testament of his father, just when they were thinking of adopting a child... their lives took a turn for worse... Irina got to know about a long lost affair of her husband with a waitress in one of his own hotels ... to worsen things further they got a letter from her and by fate it was Irina who got that letter... situation as of now doesn't warrant going into the details of the letter...but the synopsis was that she was leaving her son in Richard's custody as she was not able to take care of him. Although Irina could never forgive the betrayal she took in the boy ...which was tough considering the difficulties she had in finding out his whereabouts
due to the power they commanded they somehow suppressed the scandal and they were successful in keeping their divorce case low profile..

Just before James was shoved into the van Priya came "Officer, a minute please"
Officer apologized "sorry ma'am I can't...strict orders'"
Priya was losing patience by the second she tightened her fist by her side and said "just a second and then he is all yours" and tried to wave her hands towards him nonchalantly
Just then Agent Marsh made an appearance'"it's ok Paul!! Even the convict (he stressed it as if he enjoyed the insulting assiduously) is a human' besides we love our jobs eh? Think smartly' it's a big fish'so is the risk big' if you are pulled up for this 'misdemeanor' (sarcastically) then you are on your man!!"'and he laughed
Paul was still in 2 minds "But sir what if he escapes'he is a convicted felon on a death row'honestly I fear him" he added shakily
Agent marsh chuckled at hearing the word 'fear''and replied in that same tone'"oh man he wouldn't run'not on my watch'besides he is a big man I wonder why his daddy didn't come running with a towel to save his sonny" and made a cooing voice
Priya didn't give a damn about the sarcasm dripping advice all the time she was watching James...who never looked up'
Agent Marsh said something like "5 min as am very generous'." Which priya din't care'
All she cared was the man in front of her who had promised to be with her forever who had promised to walk with her through the age who had promised her that he would never leave' who meant all her world ...a world which was falling apart because of what??...a selfish...stupid recklessness... she couldn't check her rage
James looked up and saw the face...ONE face which was his own orb of light..his life...his love now covered with rage and anger... colored with sense of betrayal and pain and wounded.. although the lump in his throat was not allowing him to speak yet he tried to reason with her " look ...it's not like what you-"
SMACK she slapped him (in a completely different setting she might have felt soaring just by hearing his voice and seeing him...but not now... all she could feel was nothingness...a big void inside her... as if she too died the moment she heard the sentence of his death penalty... all she could feel now was this blinding rage...of being let down..of being not trusted not loved)
Priya could barely manage few words "How could you do this to me...to us?" she bowed her head trying to hide her emotions...saw her engagement ring and a reluctant smile came on her face...just when she thought she had a small light in her dark life...only then she noticed his hands...there was no ring' her light got extinguished...if it was possible to break an already broken heart...priya was going through that horror...she looking lost and dazedly asked "why??"
James couldn't form coherent words himself...this this lump in his throat was making it difficult' he did not meet his tear filled eyes with her..."am 'am setting you '.Fr-Free (his voice broke)'you are...Free to-to lead a new life... to-to move on (words hurting him immensely)" he turned away not seeing her all the while
Then Paul came shoved him inside the van and in matter of minutes or hours Priya couldn't care less the whole crowd got dispersed...she was left standing there' with an eerie silence and the words MOVE ON FREE ringing in her ears,,,her knees gave away and flopped on the ground all broken'
x-x-x-x
Whatever James had Faced in his life... he learnt ONE thing...that was LOYALTY to the loved ones... and whatever sacrifices he made...he was STILL a child inside... Craving for Love Affection and Care from the ones he loved the most..his biological mother Angela...step mother Irina... his father whom he looked up as his idol...love of his life Priya,Sia who although technically there was no relation with, yet he was God Brother (just like god father he was god brother to her...I don't know how to write the relation lol) to her' Sia who entered his life and changed the whole way of looking at his life it was she who transformed him from Danny to James in every sense... it was she who filled his heart with the hope that one day His mom will accept him'it was she who brought Priya into his life the most kindest soul and most beautiful woman he had ever seen...it was she who inspired him to reach the zenith of architectural photography world... it was she who unknowingly lead him to make the most difficult choice in his life' only if she was around...none of this would have happened... then again Love (amor) fate/destiny (sorte) and Sacrifice (Sacrificemus) goes hand in hand isn't it?
