In about ten minutes both Maya and Adrian were back. Or rather Adrian was dragged back by Maya who insisted they talk to Mathew. The relief that swept across Mathew's face when he saw both of them come around the corner was unbelievable. Why? I couldn't help but wonder. What on earth did he think was going to happen to both of them?
"What was so urgent, Mathew? Did you want to resume our brawl?" Adrian asked. "I'm more that happy to oblige, you know."
Mathew ignored him. "I have something to say to the both of you and I hope...I really hope you listen. "He glanced at Adrian. "It is about Ophelia's accident."
He had said the magic words. It was obvious that both Maya and Adrian had no intention of not listening. Adrian's eyes nearly popped out of his head in surprise. As for Maya...She stood still, almost like a statue, her eyes fixed on Mathew.
"Have you both been wondering who could have been so cruel to leave her there to just leave her there to die? Who could have been cowardly enough to run away without stopping after accidentally running her over?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyeL0oiKxz
"You know who the driver is?" Adrian asked incredulously. "Then why the hell haven't you said anything till now?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtqyR1HdNo
"Would you be brave enough to own up immediately of it was you, Adrian?"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7HKIWHhHZ
"What!"585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgBoUQ6oXz
" It was me. I ran her over with the car. I...I...I..." Mathew turned away from both of them. "I went home. I had a date with Veena. I was in a hurry and..." He sighed. "I was afraid to stop. I...I just...It's up to you both what you want to do. You can tell this to her parents and...I'm ready to face the consequences."585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jf76orQ6J
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I let out a cry which no one could hear. 585Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2rtxOmXfs
Mathew? But....There was no way, right?
