This was a decision he’d made, and he doesn’t plan on going back on this decision. He doesn’t plan on changing his mind at all.
They’d begin walking once again, and he resumed trailing them with immediate effect. They were walking and conversing with two sack bags in Liam’s hands, and Ryan was cautiously following them from behind.
They kept on walking until they arrived at another shop. Seeing them arrive in front of the shop, Ryan thought to himself,
‘The plan was to go shopping while leaving their house. They’ve arrived at another store’.
It didn’t take long for Liam’s mum to begin conversing with the owner of the store after they arrived at it. The store didn’t deal on clothes, neither did it deal on food…it dealt on footwear.
After a few conversations with the merchant, Liam and his mum walked into the shop to select the footwear they’d be interested in buying. They’d begin selecting by now, and it didn’t take long for them to finish selecting.
After they were done selecting, Liam’s mum began bargaining the prices of what they selected with the merchant. After they were done bargaining, the merchant packaged all that they selected before handing it over to them.
Then Liam’s mum paid for everything before they walked out of the shop.
Liam was holding a good number of bags, and holding them wasn’t easy. All their weights combined created heaviness.
But there was nothing he could do about it, he’d have to keep carrying them even though they were heavy. He can’t give them to his mum to carry?
After they walked out of the shop, Ryan knew they didn’t plan on heading back home yet. He could tell from the direction they were staring at.
They weren’t staring at the direction that would lead them home at all, they were staring at a different direction…
Well, his mindset was correct, they didn’t plan on heading home yet. They began walking in the direction at which they were staring at.
And Ryan continued trailing them. He trailed and trailed them until they were done purchasing everything they wanted to purchase and were heading home right now.
He kept on following them until they finally arrived home. Then he stood at a spot watching them walk toward their home.
‘They didn’t notice for a second. I did a good job trailing them’. Ryan thought to himself as he was watching them walk toward their home.
They’d reached and entered their home by now, then Ryan glanced at the sky. Everywhere was already darkening little by little…but the one that had taken place was still very slight.
There was still a long way to go before everywhere darkens completely…
Ryan was able to achieve his aim of trailing Liam. He’d gotten to see him, and it was a sure thing he hated him to the very brim.
He’d gotten to confirm that Liam was around and was still in this kingdom. And it didn’t seem like he planned on leaving anytime soon.
So there was a high chance he’d still be in this kingdom when the time comes for him to take his revenge against them. What he needed to do next was to confirm if Miles was still in this kingdom as well.
He hadn’t seen him in a long time. He needed to see him and confirm his presence.
Yes, since Liam was still in this kingdom, then there was a very high chance Miles would still be present in this kingdom as well. But he needed to confirm his presence, he needed to see him with his eyes.
So he began heading toward Mile’s house with immediate effect. Just as he was aware of where Liam’s house was situated, he was also aware of where Mile’s house was situated.
His destination was Mile’s house, so he kept on journeying toward his house without stopping for even a second. He kept journeying and journeying until he finally arrived at Mile’s house.
He was standing at a spot glancing at Mile’s house currently, and he was wondering if anyone was even occupying the house because it was completely silent. It didn’t seem like anyone was inside the house.
He wasn’t hearing sound of any sort, the house just looked vacant.
But a house could look like this and people would still be residing in it, this was what was giving Ryan hope that people could be residing in the house even though it looked vacant.
..The people inside the house wouldn’t have to be making sounds or conversing with each other just so people could know that humans were residing in it.
It wasn’t a must, they weren’t obligated to do so.
‘Maybe no one is around at this moment’. Ryan thought to himself while still staring at the house.
He was feeling that urge to walk toward the house and knock on the door to confirm if anyone was in or not. If he knocks, and no one opens the door, that means no one was in.
But if he knocks, and someone opens the door, that means someone was in…
He was feeling that urge to walk toward the house and knock on the door, but he knew it wasn’t a wise thing to do. What if the person that opened the door was Miles after knocking.
That wouldn’t be a nice scenario at all, it would be super awkward. I mean, Miles would recognize him immediately the moment he set eyes on him.
And he’d most likely have that same mindset as well that Ryan had come to get his revenge against them. He wouldn’t waste time to inform Liam about it…and that would ruin a lot of things.
So Ryan knew he needed to make use of his brain here. He just stood there staring at the house not knowing if anyone was in or not.
He wanted to know if someone was inside the house, and he didn’t know how to go about it. The only way to confirm that was to knock on the door, and he wouldn’t be able to do that.
He even needed to be careful while staring at the house because Miles could just appear behind him while heading toward the house, and that wouldn’t be nice at all.
There was a chance Miles wasn’t in the house currently. And coming back from his destination and heading toward the house, he could come across Ryan if Ryan wasn’t careful.
And as known, there’s no way Miles wouldn’t recognize him the moment he set eyes on him. And this was something Ryan was trying to avoid.
So while staring at the house, Ryan was also watching his back in case.
‘Is anyone inside the house or not?’. Ryan thought to himself while still glancing at the house.
Minutes had passed, but nothing, nothing was happening. No one had stepped out of the house, no one had stepped foot into the house, the house still seemed like a vacant one…nothing.
Ryan had been watching his back, but no one had arrived. Miles didn’t arrive, none of his family members arrived, nothing.
The sky was darkening more and more, and you know what, Ryan was already getting tired. He was getting tired of standing on that spot waiting for something that didn’t seem to be happening.
He wanted to head home. He trailed Liam and his mum for minutes, and he’d been standing on this spot for minutes as well, it wasn’t easy.
He’d tried, he needed to head home and relax. He didn’t get to see Miles today, but he got to see Liam at least.
And because he didn’t get to see Miles today doesn’t mean he’d given up. He’d try again tomorrow, he’d come back here tomorrow.
And if he doesn’t still get to see Miles tomorrow, he’d try again the day after tomorrow. He needed to confirm that Miles was still in this kingdom, he needed to see him.
Was he even still alive? Yes, he needed to confirm this as well.
But as for now, he needed to head home. He turned around and began heading straight home. He planned on trekking home even though it was already somehow late.
This was something he’d done over and over again. Trekking wasn’t a new thing to him at all.
As he trekked, he thought about what he did today. He was happy with what he did, he got to see one of the faces of the people that ruined his life to an extent.
He’d get to see the face of the other person some other time…
Ryan had passed all the possible places those bullies could wait for him to cause distress to his life just as they’d been doing, but he didn’t see them.
..And his mindset was that they got tired of waiting for him and left.
