Chapter Sixty-Two: The Secret

Aboud was sitting in the room with Aurora, both focused on the mysterious tattoo on his back. The idea that this tattoo wasn't just a random drawing but carried a dangerous secret was slowly becoming clear. Aboud hadn't believed that Gregor was just fooling around when he tattooed his back in prison, and now he felt that the answer was close.

Aboud (deep in thought): "These dots and lines... I think they're not just a normal tattoo. I believe Gregor was trying to hide something here."

Aurora looked at him in surprise. She didn't know much about Morse codes, but she had a strange feeling that the symbols looked familiar.

Aurora (with concern in her voice): "But what could it be? Why would my father hide something like this in a tattoo?"

Aboud started analyzing the symbols more deeply. He began decoding them, one dot and one line at a time, speaking out loud as he tried to connect the dots and lines.

Aboud (focused): "These dots and lines… it's Morse code. Each dot represents a letter, and each line represents a number. Let me try to decode it."

Aboud slowly began decoding the message. The dots and lines started to make sense, and Aboud wrote down the letters and numbers on a paper in front of him.

Aboud (surprised): "A...U...R...O...R...A... It's your name, Aurora."

Aurora stopped breathing for a moment, shocked and puzzled. She never expected that her father had hidden her name in the tattoo on Aboud’s body.

Aurora (in a low voice): "My name? Why would my father hide my name here?"

Aboud didn’t stop; he continued decoding the tattoo until he reached a sequence of numbers next to the name "Aurora."

Aboud (thinking): "And these numbers… they look familiar. They're not just random."

While Aurora was trying to make sense of everything, she started to remember important dates her father always mentioned. She couldn’t ignore the feeling that the numbers in the code were related to those dates.

Aurora (deep in thought): "Aboud... I think these numbers are my birth date. My father always repeated this date as if it held some special meaning."

Aboud paused and looked at Aurora in amazement.

Aboud (surprised): "Your birth date? If these numbers are related to your birth, then maybe that’s the final code we need to access the wallet."

Despite decoding the message, both felt that the mystery wasn't fully solved. Knowing the code didn’t mean they had the wallet in their hands. The documents weren’t with them, and the information they had was still limited.

Aurora (nervously): "Okay, so we have the code, but where’s the wallet? This information is useless if we can't get to it."

Aboud thought for a moment, trying to recall any additional details that could help them. He remembered how Gregor always hid things in unexpected ways.

Aboud (in a thoughtful voice): "Gregor wasn’t easy. If this code leads us to the wallet, then he must have hidden it in a specific place."

While searching for answers, Aurora remembered that her father used to keep secret diaries in his old office at home. Gregor would often write down his thoughts, plans, and sometimes even hints about his work. She wasn’t sure where the diaries were, but she knew they had to go back to the old office to look for any clues that might lead them to the digital wallet.

Aurora (thinking): "Aboud, I think my father may have hidden something in his diaries. He used to write everything important in them. Maybe we need to go back to his old office."

Aboud (agreeing): "If there’s anything that could lead us to the wallet, it might be in those diaries. We have to find them."

Aboud and Aurora decided to head to Gregor’s old office, searching for any clues that would lead them to the digital wallet containing the important code. The office had been locked since Gregor’s death, and no one had visited it since then. The 

atmosphere was tense and eerie, as if the place held secrets that could change their fate.

When they entered the office, darkness filled the room, and there was no indication that anything was hidden there. Old books filled the shelves, and papers were scattered on the desk. They felt like they were facing a difficult task.

Aboud (calmly): "This place… it feels like a hiding place for all of Gregor's secrets. We need to be careful and search thoroughly."

Aurora (looking around): "My father wouldn’t leave anything important in plain sight. If there’s something here, it’ll be well hidden."

The two began searching carefully, opening drawers, flipping through books, and even looking behind the furniture. As time passed, the tension grew. Every clue seemed to slip away, as if Gregor hadn’t left anything behind at all.

As Aboud rummaged through one of the drawers, Aurora started feeling frustrated. She sat in the chair her father used to sit in, watching Aboud search with determination.

Aurora (in a low voice): "I don’t think we’re going to find anything here. Maybe we should have thought of another place."

Aboud stopped searching and looked at her. For a moment, he felt sad for her. Despite everything, Aurora was carrying a heavy burden, looking for answers she couldn’t seem to find.

As Aboud approached Aurora to sit next to her, they both felt like all the pressure was fading for a moment. The atmosphere in the office was quiet, and the dim light coming through the window created a strange sense of calm. He sat beside her, and complex emotions filled his heart.

Aboud (in a quiet voice): "Aurora, I’m sorry we didn’t find anything… but we’ll solve this mystery together. You’re not alone in this."

Aurora looked at him with eyes full of gratitude. It was a moment filled with silence, but the emotions between them spoke louder than words. Slowly, they drew closer until their lips were just breaths apart. Then, something neither of them 

expected happened — a quiet kiss, filled with the bottled-up emotions they had for each other.

After a few moments of silence and emotional immersion, they returned to reality. Aurora slowly pulled away and smiled softly.

Aurora (in a quiet voice): "Maybe... we should think of another place. But… I’m glad you're here with me in this."

Aboud smiled in return, realizing that things had become more complicated between them, but he didn’t regret that moment. That kiss was an expression of unconditional support and deep affection.

Having lost hope of finding something in the office, they decided to return to Aurora’s home. The air between them was charged with new energy as they drove back, both feeling that their relationship had taken an unexpected turn.
