Milliseconds after telling Beth that The Command was waiting to have Keith under its control, The Voice suddenly disappeared or was rather inaudible.
Morning was just a few hours away, so Tim, Holly and Dev decided to leave while Daphne and Evelyn stayed back at Beth’s place to comfort her.
Much to Daphne’s surprise, Beth did not wish to talk and headed to her room after ensuring that they were comfortable in the guest bedroom.
Memories are mysterious things – one never manages to forget the bad times that keep haunting forever, but when a life is at risk, the good memories gently arrive making one feel that life isn’t that bad.
Much of Beth’s night was spent reminiscing about the happy moments with Grace, Keith and Rohit.
Meeting Rohit, her ex-husband, five years ago was one of her fondest memories as they couldn’t take eyes off each other at a common friend’s wedding.
“My God Cassie, he is the most amazing single dad! You should have seen how he takes care of his one-year-old baby Keith. You will see, I will marry him someday,” Beth had told her best friend the day she met Rohit; they married only after a few months.
Maternal instincts had kicked in the moment Beth had held Keith in her arms for the first time and they had bonded instantly.
“Mom, I love you,” Keith used to tell her daily until Grace was born.
“Mom, I love my baby sister the most. I love you and dad also… a little bit,” he was the most loving and caring brother to Grace.
Maybe if she and Rohit had not separated she could have spent more time with Keith, Beth thought as she regretted managing to meet him only on weekends.
“Married or not, we will always try to spend weekends with both the kids and be the best parents ever,” it was Rohit’s idea who still was her 2 a.m. friend.
Misfortune always seemed to find Beth, but this time it was about the safety of her kids and she decided to do everything possible and even impossible to keep them safe.
“Might as well put our superpowers to good use, let’s give our hundred percent when The Voice trains us. I don’t know what exactly my superpower is but I will definitely not let that Command hurt my kid or anyone else’s. Daphne, don’t worry about Evelyn, I will take care of her,” Beth surprisingly sounded positive during the breakfast, much to Daphne and Evelyn’s relief.
“Meet me at the Andheri stadium at 11.59 pm tonight, you will have no trouble entering,” both Beth and Evelyn heard The Voice speak into their ears.
“Man, what is with The Voice and number 59? He always makes me count till 59!” Evelyn said.
“Me too,” Beth replied and continued to narrate the turbulent plane incident; it was about time the superheroes knew more about each other.
The story continues tomorrow in the next post. Did you notice that I managed to start each sentence of this chapter of the story with the letter M (I have managed to do the same from B to L posts)!

I don’t know about others but Beth still harbours such warm positive feelings for Rohit, I wonder what even made them split up. They’re such good friends to each, always there, caring, supportive, equal parents, warm and fuzzy! I wish they didn’t have to split. I am a hopeless romantic in the true sense of the word.
Reading on.
