High School: Way to Forever
Chapter 119: Dead!

They first rode through the yard and at the side of it. The wind was blowing very much and Anna's hairs were flying in the air. Alex held Anna tightly in his arms. He can see that it was really big here. A lot of tress along with grass, flowers of a different type.

"Alex, are you okay?" She knew that it was difficult for those who ride for the very first time. They might feel nauseated also and for her, his health was the top priority.

For him, she was riding her horse slowly, and even the horse also knew that they have to ride slow because a new person sat on him.

"I'm good. Anna, you can increase the speed of the horse. I'm really good and it is not like the first time that I'm riding a horse." True! He used to sit behind his grandfather and held him tightly whenever he used to visit them in the army. Alex understood that Anna knew how to ride since childhood so these baby speed will not give her much adventure. He can't let her down like this. So, he asked her to increase the speed.

"Are you sure, Alex?" She was still concerned. Alex does not know how much fast she rides the horse. It is adventurous and more fun that way. But it won't be fun at the cost of his health.

"Hmm, I'm sure."

"Then, hold me tightly." Saying this, Anna kicked the horse where it should b and the horse got the signal that he can ride fastly. Alex did as asked from him. He held Anna very tightly and he was thanking God that he did this!

Alex felt his dream was coming true. He wished to learn horse riding after he was an adult and has free time. But doing one now was like a dream come true for him. He was riding a horse and that too with his lady love, what else does he want? This was no less than a heaven for him. A dream from which he does not want to come out.

They rode at a high speed through the yard and then, Alex saw they were going towards a pond. A pond between this grass yard?!?! This was really shocking to him. As Anna's back was facing him, she can't see how surprised he was.

"Alex… let us rest here for a while and then, we will go back." To which, Alex nodded and got down the horse as per Anna's guidance. She was really good at guiding, he has to admit this!

Maybe her skills were too good which made many people envy her also.

They both sat at the edge of the pond with their horse riding around and eating grasses. Anna first caressed his hair slightly. His white hairs were so soft!

"Anna... Can you tell me now? How do you know everyone here?" Alex curiously asked. He can't keep this anymore in himself. It has been so long and she did not speak a word about these people or anything about here.

But Anna did not reply. She just faced the water in the pond. It was so clean that they both can see their own reflection too.

"You know who my brother was?" Anna suddenly asked Alex as she faced him.

"Yeah. Seb, right?" She had told him this earlier too. But how Seb was related to all of this?

"Shaira.. the name I took earlier.. was my brother's girlfriend." And now, it was again Alex's turn to be shocked! He has heard about Seb being in the underworld very well. But he never listened that he had a girlfriend too? When?!?!

This shows that Seb had hidden his lady loves identity hidden very well. What else you can expect a person, an expert him to do? But one thing was unknown to everyone. How did he die?!

"The people you met inside are none other than, Shaira's parents. Her name was Shaira Asher.

Alex can feel this was her deep secret. This was family held so many secrets in themselves. So many that he can't even count at once. She blames herself for whatever happened to her brother. Well, he can't change it or speak to her about this because he can't reveal his identity too!

The amount of pain she had gone through can never be erased by him, no matter how much joy he gives her, she will be broken as always! He knew very well that she blames herself for her brother's death.

""Alex, you know, Shaira was madly in love with my brother but their story also never received a happy ending," Anna said with a low and sad voice. Her tears were on verge of falling and she felt it was just her fault that her Brother Seb was dead.

Alex understood what she meant. Her brother died so how can they both have a happy ending?

"Their love story remained half, Alex. Brother Seb never said the words he should have. He made a big mistake at that time. Maybe If I was a bit more mature, I might have made him understand."

Alex just wanted to go near her and take away all her pain but he knew he can't. Then, he heard Anna's voice again.

"This house has remains of them everywhere. So, her parents wanted to stay connected to them so they live here." Anna's face was down but tears were formed in her eyes. She was controlling them as they were on the edge of falling. It really hurts to see only sixteen years girl like this, too much broken!

"So, indirectly. Shaira is your sister in law."

"Yes!"

"Where is she now?"

"Dead!'
