Caleb’s story continues from the last episode of season 1
season2 Episode 1
Caleb’s house
I stared into my wife’s eyes and saw nothing but pain and uncertainty in them. It was obvious she was suffering much more than I was, even though she tried very much to conceal everything with the words of encouragement that came from her mouth. I nervously kissed her.
“we are not going anywhere my love. We aren’t going to any city or country to start all over again. Of course you know getting a new profitable job isn’t easy. I also can’t forgive myself if you give up the great job you currently have for my sake. My dear we are staying in this city to fight to the end. I’m not the only sinner in the world. I will stay back to correct everything. I’m no coward. I will fight to the very end to get my job back and clear my name” i said to her strongly. She closed her eyes for a while before staring at me once again.
“i really don’t know the reason you are insisting on staying back in this town. It’s not as if you were accused wrongly” she said with all seriousness. I kissed her once again with shaking hands and lips, trembling before her.
“i just don’t know what’s making you so adamant on staying back. I equally don’t know how you plan clearing your name. I’m having a very bad feeling about it. Please don’t do anything stupid” she begged, staring me deep in the eyes. I breathed deeply, kissed her forehead and hugged her strongly.
To be sincere, that very moment i really had no plan in mind nor any clue on how to clear my name and get my job back, but i had this strange believe that staying back in the city to fight for my job was way better and easier than moving to another city to start all over again. All i just had to do was simply to come up with a great plan or idea to help me achieve my aim.
Later in the night as i slept beside my wife, i took my time to draw out many plans in my mind. Unfortunately, the more i planned, the more confused i got until i came to the conclusion that there wasn’t anyway i could clear my name without getting the help of a very powerful person in government. And as the thought came into my head, i remembered an old student or should i say a friend.
“of course yes. The senator’s daughter. She promised to help me with anything, when i helped her out the previous year. Yes now is the time. Oh God thank you” i breathed happily, sitting up on the bed with joy as i slowly remembered how she came into my office with her friends to beg for my help and how i helped them without any demands. I equally remembered how she effortlessly introduced me to her family.
“now i do believe that everything happens for a purpose” i breathed happily, but my excitement was suddenly cut short as i noticed that my wife was equally sitting up on the bed instead of sleeping. I nervously switched on the electric table lamp close to me, and as the room lit up, i saw tears dropping from her eyes which touched me greatly.
“i had a very bad dream my love. I just don’t know what the future holds for us in this city. I also watched how you sprang up from the bed without even noticing me. I just feel that the worst is yet to come” she muttered as more tears dropped from her eyes.
“dear Lord” i breathed
To be continued.
