Grey is back

Sentenced to forty two years

.,Grey POV

The three of us all stopped at once . I did not know if to be happy really that at least some that I knew was here or just leave it at that .

“I want to talk to my husband first .” the voice that I knew very well said as it continued to approach to where we were . The two guards were clearly shocked. Perhaps they did not know that I could be a husband to such a prominent person as many of the people in the world take her to be .

The footsteps got more vivid until when he was standing right in front of us . She looked serious and beautiful like she has always been right from day one .

“You maniac , what the hell are you doing here ?” that was the first question that departed from her mouth . Not that I was even surprised at all , it is only that I did not think she could embarrass me in front of these officers .

Plus another thing that I wondered about was how had she known that I was here .

“These officers arrested me , I swear I did not do anything at all .” I spoke trying really hard not to show her and the rest of the officers that I was being affected by all that was taking place there. I did not want them to see how badly I had been treated all this time .

“Damn it , you fool.” That was the question that came from her and it was followed by a hot slap on my right cheek and another one that came right to my left cheek . For the first time I felt like crying . It was not that it was actually due to the slap that I had been given but it was because on one believed me .

All the things could happen to me but all my life there is something that I want people to know about me and that is to be believed in every time when I am speaking something that is actually right just like I was at the moment. But who was I and who could believe in me .

“After all the damage that you caused him !” she snorted as she started hitting me continuously on my chest . At first I thought that it was one of her money drama skits she makes against me at home when she appears like she is crying and yet on the actual sense it is never the fact but that was completely different this time .

I stared at her right in the eyes and she was fucking serious . She was indeed crying . But the question was what was making her that way .

“You are an asshole .”

“You are a complete maniac .”

“You need to rot behind bars .”

I swear I did not have any idea about where this was coming from . I tried to listen to her words but they were not creating any meaning to me at all.

“Mariana , what are you doing . I even don’t have an idea about what you are talking about ?” I raised my concern . May be I had to know where this was coming from .

“You tired to kill my brother , you shot him .”

“Officers , I have always told him to stop talking drugs but he never listens.” I looked at my wife as she talked this about me . At this moment , I knew where this was coming from . All along I had not understood it but I got it now .

She and her brothers had framed me . Wow , all the time she had said and the had not done to me the worst . She had told me numerous times that I had to wait for the worst . I think this is what she meant .

Tears threatened to leave my eyes but I fought with all my might not to let them fall. She had won . She had shattered me completely but I was not going to give her the chance of seeing my painful tears . She did not deserve my tears at all. They were so precious for a person like her .

“Officers , do all you can with this murder . We are more than ready to testify against him in court .”

I could tell that surely this was the end of me . I was done completely and so that was something that I was supposed to accept at this moment .

Two days later .

“Grey Robison , you are hear by sentenced to forty two years in prison for attempted murder , drug addiction and possession of an illegal weapon.” The words from the judge were ringing in my head as I walked towards the cell where I was to stay for the next forty two years .

“Hahaha , how life changes so easily!” I said out a loud .

“What did you say young man ?” the prison guard who was next to me inquired .”

“Nothing , I was just murmuring out to myself .” I replied . He did not know anything about this life so he did not need to know all of it . Though he seemed older than me , I could see that he must not even have seen this world at all . This world was something so hard to define at all.

“Better be happy , you have no idea what awaits you in there .” he said .

“Ha, I doubt if there is something that I have not experienced before . Everything harming and hurting is not new to me . I even think that this place is much more better for me than outside . The officer did not say anything else because we were already at my new home for the next forty two years .

Plus I doubted if there was anything unique and new that he was going to tell me . I have gone through the most I can say that .

“I think you will be save here .”he said and left at once leaving me in a place that I hardly knew . A place that looked like another hell . It was like moving from the frying pan into the fire . That was how things seemed to be .

“Wow buddy , you seem new here . I mean haven’t you ever come here.”he asked . However he was seated at the corner of the cell that I could not see him properly . My heart was of course pumping like crazy as I thought about all those horrible things that they do to people while in prison .

Things that are so disgusting that I don’t even want to think about them . I just hoped that nothing like that happened to me because I did not have an skill of how I could help myself out .

“Oh , this is a quiet one compared to the one who died last week.”

“The one who died?” I found myself asking . Like surely there was no way that I could not help but get worried. What did he mean ? so many questions were going through my head as I thought about what he has just said .

Was he the one who killed him ? Perhaps I had been brought into a cell that I was to sure with a serial killer ? But what did I expect since I had already been framed of murder and all that ?I am sure they were so convinced that I was a murderer .This was not getting any where better at all.

He slowly stood up from where he was and started to come towards me . I some how started to look at his face , it had so many scars all over . I had surely never seen a person as ugly and scary as him .

I there and then could tell that he was a serial killer . May be he was going to cut me into tiny pieces and eat me up .

“You look nothing like a man supposed to be in this place .” His statement removed from the weird thoughts that were going through my mind . It was so much for me.

“Ye..ss” I spoke in almost a stammer as I looked at him in the eyes.

“You are so timid , whom did you kill with that way you fear?”

“I did not kill anyone .” I spoke so quickly like I was even justifying anything .

“But that is is how every one else says that .”he said as he moved to the other said the cell. The room had only two tiny beds ,one at each side of the room. There was small table at the window and a mug that was at the floor. There were scratched papers all over the room.

The room was however a bit clean compared to all the prisons that I have watched in movies and even those that were zooming through in my head all the time. He stood there for some time as I was still at the door .I wondered what was the next thing that I was supposed to do now .

“But I did not even do any of the crimes that I was accused of .”he said out the words that attracted my attention.

“What do you mean?” I said as I approached him .

“Man , you seem innocent . I was just kidding .”he said with a chuckle . Damn it , he is such a useless man for sure but he was my cellmate and as I see things , I could not create enmity with him if I wanted this to be okay .

“Am Fargon.”He said raising a hand for me .What a wired name . I raised my hand shaking his .

“Grey….Grey Robison.”

“Grey Robison , that name seems so familiar to me .”

“Sure , from where ?”I asked curious .”

“A prominent business man I knew . He however just disappeared with all his wealth getting into the hands of other people .”

“That sounds like some fantasy story .” I said jokingly .

“Perhaps .” he said giving up . without even knowing it , we were soon drawn in conversation which made me realize that Fargon was a ‘good’ person to be with here . I did not even know what to think about any more. At this moment I did not have any thought of ever getting out of this place .

All those who did me wrong were never going to pay for what they had done . I pained me so much but there was nothing that I could do . It was clear that at times we had to accept everything that happen to us and move on with life .

It is always for the best –maybe . But again it is never not a good thing to lose hope completely . You never know things change .

They can change and before you know it, all gets well.
