Chapter 60: It's Easier Said Than Done!!

After few minutes Jiang Yang turned around and walked to the closet in his room. He took out two black colour speaker like small devices from it. He turned them on. He put one device on the bedside table of his room and walked out of his room with the another device in his hands. He went to Jiang YuYan's room. He knocked lightly and opened the door. Light in the room was dim but he could see that Jiang YuYan was asleep. He walked towards her and put that device on the bedside table of her room then he walked out and closed the door back.

As soon as the door of the room closed, Jiang YuYan opend her eyes, looked at the device and turned it off.

Next morning when Jiang Yang woke up, he saw his sister was standing in the gallery near the railing. She was staring at the road and the vehicles running down there on it. He came out of the room and this time he made a sound of a door to let her know. She looked back and smiled.

"Good morning sis!" He said it with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Good morning brother!" She replied with a smile.

"Enjoying the morning view?" He walked towards the railing and stood beside her and started to observe the view infront of him.

"Humm! This is a great place". She said while looking at the view of hill and a trees far away in front of them.

"Right!" He too was looking at the beautiful view.

Both stood there looking at the greenery enjoying the morning Breeze and a mild sunlight. After few minutes Jiang Yang looked at her deep in thought face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing just enjoying this calmness." She said and closed her eyes.

"Do you want to talk about something? I mean about yesterday?" He looked at her

She opened her eyes and said, "I don't know. It feels like my head is going to burst with so many things in it. I don't want to think about anything that's why I am here to clear my mind"

"I want you to share it with me so that it won't hurt your head. Avoiding it, is not a solution. Come with me." He took her to the chair and let her sit there and he sat infront of her on the other chair. Both were sitting face to face. He held her hand and started to press some pressure points on her palm and asked, "Does it feel good now?"

"Humm!" She nodded

"Now tell me, what's the matter?" He asked but didn't looked at her. He continued pressing the points on her palm.

"I am afraid that I'll start to recall those things again. Since last 4 years I thought I forgot everything but....."

"It's good actually. It's a sign that now you have to move on from your past and start to accept new things in your life." He said while still busy with his work.

Huuuu? She looked at him with a questioning sight.

He stopped his work and freed her hand and said, "Done."

Then He looked at her and said while looking into her eyes, "Just take it as you have to take few steps back to jump ahead higher. Remembering the past is like taking a few steps back then move forward and jump higher to the bright future."

"It's easier said than done." She said and gave out a deep sigh.

"I know but what will happen? You will get scared and will have those nightmares again. You will be anxious and frightened. What more can happen? Just get through it once and for all. Just remember that whatever you will face, I'll always be there behind you to protect you. Just face it alone this time." He said it and leaned back in this chair.

She was listening to it seriously but then said in a very low voice, "I... don't..want..to..see..those..nightmares.. again."

Jiang Yang heard it but didn't react. This time he didn't want to sympathize with her that can make her feel weak. He wanted to prepare her to face it alone.

"Untill now I was walking with you holding your hand on this difficult path but now I want you to walk ahead of me. If you fell down, I'll be behind you to help you to get up again."

"Do you think I can do it?" She asked while looking in his eyes to get an honest answer.

"Of course! You are the strongest girl I have ever seen." He said it confidently while looking back in her eyes as showing his confidence into her.

"Huuu! No need to exaggerate." She said it with a smile.

"Instead of thinking about the past like, what and why that happened with me, we should accept and cherish the things which are infront of us at the present." He said.

"I'll try my best." She said and leaned back in her chair.

"Had a nightmare last night?" He asked

"Nope!" She said

"Good. But I guess you turned off that device last night." He said while raising his one eyebrow.

"I am not a little baby, that you will keep an eye on day and night and will suffer from a lack of sleep." She said and gave out a sigh.

"Huuu! You will always be a little baby for me." He said with a teasing smile.

"Then I'll start to call you father from now on." She too had a smile on her face.

"Whatever suits you the best. But one thing is for sure, you will get to see new mother every week or every month." Now he was back to his usual self.

"Haha! I forgot it. brother Casanova!"

Both smiled and continued lying in a chair enjoying the morning sunlight.

Jiang Yang had an habit to keep that device in Jiang YuYan's room whenever he felt that she might have a nightmare, so that he can hear it on the another device in his room and could go immediately to his sister.

When Jiang Yang entered in Jiang YuYan's room last night, she was aware of it but pretended to be asleep. When he left, she turned off that device as she didn't want her brother to keep worrying about her day and night. She didn't want to trouble him.
