Chapter 570 - When soulmates meet.... PART 4

James often turned his head to look at the pensive looking girl, but did not utter even a single word. He could sense that Cheryl was extremely sad at the moment, as she often wiped away a falling tear from her eyes, trying to hide it away from James.

Soon the wine in her glass finished and she was about to get up from the chair to refill her glass, when James offered his hand to the girl. "Allow me. You keep sitting." James smiled at the girl and Sheryl smiled back looking at the man's kind actions.

She handed over her empty glass to the man and nodded her head smiling back at him. "Thank you so much."

James smiled back and then walked away towards the bar. Cheryl could not help but notice the man's fabulousely fit body as he walked away towards the bar. He was yet dressed in his swimming trunks and was stark n.a.k.e.d from the top, giving the girl a beautiful view of his tonned legs and tappering upper body.

Cheryl immediately averted her gaze as the man turned back towards her, carrying another bottle of beer and a refilled glass of wine in his hands. He walked smiling at the pensive looking girl and handed over the glass to her. "Here you go. It will help you drown all your sorrows and worries."

Cheryl smiled and took the glass from the boy's hand. "Thank you so much. How do you know, I am feeling sad and worried?" She looked at the boy in surprise, who had now sat down on his chair, his legs facing towards her. "It is pretty evident. A vibrant, chirpy and bold girl like you is not behaving herself today. As far as I know you or I have heard of you from others, you are never this quiet and serious."

Cheryl smiled sadlly looking at the boy. "Well, if you have heard about me then you should probably not be talking to me as well. I am one of those bad girls, who are always upto no good. This is the current reputation I hold in everybodys' mind. Which I can not even deny, not doing. Most of it is true. I am always upto no good " Cheryl took a sip of her drink and averted the man's gaze, as another tear dropped from her eye. Her face was filled with guilt yet again, specially knowing that she was talking to none other than Rose's brother and Lillian's son. The very same newly birn child, whose father had died, due to her family troubles right after he was born. Her heart was filled with remorse thinking that due to her family issues, he could never even see is father's face.

"Well, all I have learnt from my mother is one simple thing, that you should not care about the family reputation or what others think about you. You are not here to please anybody. One should just follow his heart and not care about anything else. If your heart tells you to mend your ways, it is never too late to do that. Slowly, people will also see a better side of you and their perspective of you would change. Why to have so much remorse in life, when you still have the opportuniy to mend your mistakes. Huh?" James smiled bending his head a bit, trying to look at the girl lowly hung face. 

Cheryl finally looked up to see the smiling boy, who was extremely polite and kind to her. It was evident that he knew what all she had done to harm the lives of people in his family, yet he was looking at her in a very positive and sweet way. "It is so evident that you are Rose's brother. You both have a gift to bring out the best side of the people, no matter how lost they are. It is so clear that you have been raised with just the right values from your mother. She must be so proud of you both." Cheryl spoke as she rememberd her mother's face and how she had let her down, with her actions. She did not speak a word further but her expressions were enough for James to understand the amout of guilt the girl was feeling at the moment.

"Our parents are always proud of us. They understand that we may at times be blinded to not follow the right path but as long as we have their teachings with us, it is never too late to mend our mistakes and take an about turn. There is noting to feel sad about. We all have committed mistakes and have learnt from them eventually. It is fine."James patted the girl's shoulder and then turned his body to face the pool again. James' words were acting like a soothing balm to the girl's fresh wounds and she could not help but break down hearing his words. It was the kind of balm which makes you wince at the touch with the wound, but eventually heals your pain.

James turned to look at the crying girl and patted her shoulder yet again. "I am so sorry. I did not mean to make you cry. I will try to keep my stupid mouth shut now!"

Cheryl wiped her tears and tried to smile looking at the boy's concerned face. "You talk just like your sister. You did not make me sad but you rather made me feel relieved. Inspite of everything that I have done to you guys, you are so nice and humble to me."

"That is probably because we see a nice person in you, which you yourself have not seen in you. Try to bring out the best in you, and everything will be fine. I promise." James smiled and held out his palm, in an action of promising the girl. Cheryl grinned and placed her hand on his palm and James pressed her hand assuringly with his other hand. He then turned his head and they both once again sat quietly, sipping their drinks and looking at the beautiful view from the height. They both did not speak a single word to each other, but their silences were speaking a bundle of emotions to each other. They had felt an instant comfort in each other's presence, as if they had been soul mates ever since they took birth in this world. As if, they had been there for each other in every life time, ever since they existed. The time passed away and the beautiful night watched the two souls, sit quietly in each other's comfortable presence.
