Chapter 50 - Javier Is Lost?
Ellen's lips were sealed and there was no reply from his side, which made Jennifer panicked. But still, she patiently waited for him to say but no, there was nothing he uttered.
At last, when she lost the hope of gaining any answer from his side, Jennifer looked out of the helicopter, down in the water and her eyes fell on the deserted beach from where they just escaped.
There were some of the people, looking at their side, at the helicopter but they weren't able to do anything as they are very far. But her longing eyes never found Javier. No, she was pretty much sure that he wasn't there. Then, where is he?
"Javier..." She called his name in between her breaths, but to no avail because there was literally no one. She can't his figure at all. Is he dead? NO! Obviously not! Injured? she can't say much about it because it was something that only he knew.
As she recalled his promise to her, her mind was on verge of malfunctioning. Moreover, was it all just a lie from his side? It was hard to believe in her accordance but nothing seems true.
Sweat was formed on her mature face. She doesn't know what to do anymore, without him. Alone with his absence in her hand.
Subconsciously, she ordered Ellen on a serious note, without moving her gaze from the beach, "Ellen, just take the chopper back to the villa, we have to find Javier and bring him back."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Taylor but Sir's orders were simply to protect you and keep your safety as our first priority. We can't let anything happen to you..." his words were evident much latter won't take any single order from her. Obviously, she can't order him.
Jennifer turned around and looked at Ellen with her red eyes and spoke, "So, will you let your sir die just like this? Hmm? have you lost your sanity?!" she can't believe that Ellen was simply following orders instead of saving Javier's life!
In her eyes it was a big mistake but how was she supposed to correct it? Ellen just lowered his head but she knew that he was hurt and disappointed as well. His loyalty remained to Javier. Although, he too wished to just do as she said his hands were tied with his orders.
In her eyes, those orders were useless if their sir can't be saved. What is the fun and need to follow them when the person who gave those instructions isn't with them currently?
"Miss, Sir is very much strong. He won't be killed by mere killers. Don't worry, he will be back to us... he is much powerful physically than what you imagine." Ryan said to console her, through his confident words.
"But..why is he not here till yet then?!" Her words were the harsh reality they were witnessing. Javier wasn't with them and Ryan too just lowered his face because no one has any definite answer to give and close her damaged heart.
"Ja..Javier promised… that he will.. come if I swim first.." the tears she is holding were almost on the verge of falling. She was angry, on her own stupidity and innocence to believe his words back then.
What if she had stayed with him? Would have she eased his work by killing people with her own hand. Her grip on the surface of the jet tightened. Her whole body was wet, a drop of water being poured and coming out and Ryan tried to give her the towel which she drew on the ground.
"Ms. Please at least dry yourself. We will wait for Sir for the next five minutes and.. if he doesn't' arrive then unfortunately we will have to leave without his presence only.." Ryan declared which took her by shock. She was totally surprised by their decision but at the second thought, she understood that they have boundaries as well.
Everything must have been told to them by Javier itself, in case of something like this happens..
Even if she says something, they won't agree to it at any cost because they only take orders from one and only, Javier!
Seeing Jennifer's own shoulders, and her state, Ellen felt pity for the girl. "He will arrive. Wait for a few more minutes.."
"I wish…" but when she was on the verge of losing her confidence and hope, that instant, the ladder which was still down in the water, felt a little tug.
Jennifer and Ryan immediately noticed the sudden change and looked down in the water to see something… things weren't right as they thought.
Water down there was continuously moving as if there was someone. The ladder too moved along with it and Ryan held it from above with all the strength.
Each microsecond was proving to be heavy on Jennifer, where her eyes never tore from the movement in the water. Her heart was at the bay to know if it is someone whom she is waiting for so long?
And suddenly, there was a hand that tugged the ladder tightly. At first, two hands were shown, and just recognizing the hand, Jennifer cried. "JAVIER!"
"Sir! Please come up fast, we have to leave very soon!" Ellen shouted when he too noticed the man down and as expected the body came out of the freshwater. He wore nothing on his top, half naked and water dripping off from his white shoulder and flesh.
Javier took the strength and climbed the ladder with much ease and finally, he came above the ground, and landed in the cockpit to be hugged by Jennifer suddenly.
"Javier!"
"I told you that I will keep my promise as always."
