View MoreLea's POV I had taken a wrong turn, and now here I was, in the middle of nowhere. The rain had stopped for awhile but it started pouring down heavily again, soaking me to the bone as I desperately searched for shelter. My car finally came to a stop near a quaint little cottage. Shivering, I hurried towards it, hoping for a bit of warmth and respite from the storm. Getting wet was fun but I had a little baby in my womb. I was shivering to the bones, Surely it was not good for the little one. As I approached, I saw an elderly woman standing at the entrance, watching the rain with a serene expression. She noticed me and smiled warmly, beckoning me inside. She moved slowly, her steps uncertain, but her eyes were filled with a light that drew me in. Intrigued, I approached her. "Good afternoon," I greeted softly, not wanting to startle her. She turned to me with a gentle smile, "Good afternoon, dear. Lovely day, isn’t it?Come in, dear. You must be freezing," she said, her voice
" Yeah, it's tonight. I think around seven or eight. Yeah! I will be back as soon as it's done. Don't forget your medicines. Alright, bye bye! ” Phill hung up with a smile on his face. " Girlfriend? ” Percy asked he popped up from th back. " Good Lord, Percy, you scared me! " Phill hurriedly put his phone back in his pocket. " Sorry! I was just curious. Never saw you smiling like an idiot all by yourself before! ” He chirped in lifting both his hands as if surrendering. Phill tried to ignore him as they both walked back towards the main event. Phill was worried about Lea. She had been working over time and he knew that being an introvert she didn't interact well with people. He wanted to rush back to her but it was necessary that he waited. Lea hung up on the other end, cleaning up a little, taking a good shower and then making herself a big bowl of porridge as she comfortably snuggled in the couch before switching on the television. She could tell right aw
Lea's POV " You are leaving? For a couple of days? " It wasn't like he owed me anything or that he even needed to tell me that he was leaving. But when he broke that news, I felt super lonely all over again. " I promise I will be back as soon as I can! It's only because of Mercy. I would have skipped it if it was anyone else... " " Family comes first, Phill! " I could see guilt building up in his eyes. It was unnecessary, unwanted. Why would he be burdened with my existence when he clearly had a life of his own. Phill suddenly stood up ,coming close to me, grabbed my neck and planted a kiss on my forehead. It was very unexpected. I was almost shocked. " I would have taken you with me if not for your medical condition. It would be too stressful at the function. But make sure to tune into the live stream and support your little sister. You know Mercy adores you. She would be delighted to know what you are watching. " I hesitantly took a step back before smiling ba
Phill's POV I don't know what I was doing with my life. I don't know what Lea was doing to me. I swear I never felt any emotion as strong as my emotions towards Lea. It wasn't merely physical. I mean I am a man after all. I would be lying if I said that her touch, her smile, her head leaning on my shoulder, her lips accidentally brushing against my arms didn't turn me on. Of course it did. But what mattered most for me was her happiness. I wanted to be that relief when she smiled after a long and tiring day. I wanted her to smile with or without me. Lea and I were very much alike in more than one way. We both loved silently. We both suffered hoping that the person we loved would be happy that way. We both lived a lie each day... day after day. *** intense ringing of the phone along with the vibration in my pocket, brought me back from my trail of thoughts*** " Hello, Mother! What a pleasant surprise. ” My mother rarely called. She called only under dire situ
" We can shift him to another room if you have a problem Miss. Rodgers! ” " Oh,No... no no! I didn't know you were moving him beside me. I am absolutely thrilled... I mean I have no problem. Please make him comfortable. ” Mercy jumped up on her bed cutting the nurse off before she could change her mind. " Ok! Great. We will help Jake settle down. He was having trouble sleeping alone. There isn't a single room available with a spare bed. I was meaning to ask you if he could stay the night but you were sleeping, so we decided to erect the partition and let him... "" It's alright. You did the right thing. " Mercy cut her short once more. She was elated at finding none other than the rising superstar Jake beside her side. She was already wrapping up a shoot for her debut musical when her stomach ache landed her in the hospital.She was about to be discharged tomorrow morning after some medication and rest. Jake was her latest role model. She loved his voice, his style, his charismat
Lea's POV Phill was right. Jake needed to know about the child but deep down I knew exactly what he would be doing. I knew the exact challenge that he was facing. I didn't tell Phill what Rosa had shared when she visited. Jake's agency had already given him the choice - relationship, scandals or a high flying career that had already taken off. I had seen Jake's hesitation when he had received the call from his manager. I didn't want to pester him and he had decided to not talk about it at all. I wanted Jake to know about the child. Of course I did. Why the hell would I not? But I didn't want him to regret the child later on in his life. I want Jake to know about him when he is ready. I told myself that I would raise the child well. I told myself that I was strong enough. I told myself that I was only giving ourselves some time. I was giving Jake the time to concentrate and focus on himself. Even though I had explicitly written in the letter that I left
Lea's POVI will be absolutely honest when I say that Phill supported me unconditionally. He had not for once, asked why I didn't want Jake to know about the baby. He didn't ask what our relationship was or anything related to it. He simply trusted me and let me make my own decisions. But I think I had pushed his limits that night. I cannot deny that I was behaving like manic after losing that ear ring. The ear ring was definitely important but that was not the only matter. Seeing Jake after such a long time and not being able to touch him had the exact same effect on me as that of a thirsty person in the middle of the desert, deceived by a mirage. Desperation was mingling with my pregnancy hormones and forcing me to throw a fit in the middle of the road, in the middle of nowhere. " Lea!!! Get a hold on yourself! "Phill literally grabbed both my hands in his and shook me violently. " I thought you cared about your baby! ”His voice was clearly rhetorical. "I don't know what hap
Jake's POVI was headed towards my car when I stepped over something. I don't know why but I bent down to pick it up. I don't know whether it was good or bad luck. I don't know whether I should have picked it or not. It was a ear ring. Not anyother ear rings. It was Lea's ear ring. I knew because I had made it with my own hands when I worked at the silverware factory. Her intitials were hand graved inside. The shape was tattered and ugly, yet she wore it everywhere... even to weddings. And I found one piece under my foot after thinking that I saw her not once but twice in a the same day. There was only so much of a coincidence in the world. This was confirmation that Lea was there. My mind wasn't playing tricks anymore. She was there watching me sing the song once more. Why? Why didn't see come to see me? Why did she watch from far? One of the body guards literally shoved me in the car as the crowd surged even more. My car drove past the university towards my hotel, our
Jake's POVAs the guitarist hit the cord and I grabbed the mic to hum the note, my eyes closed automatically. The sea of people in front of me vanished. I was back on top of the mountains. Lea was right in front of me where I could touch her. She smiled as she heard me hum and I loved to see that I made her smile like that. And it went like -"In the echo of our whispers, I hear eternity's call,But the tears in your eyes paint a different wall.Promises of forever, now shattered like glass,Our love's flame flickers, fading into the past.(Chorus)Forever together, yet forever apart,Two souls entwined, but torn at the heart.In the silence we linger, in love's bitter embrace,Forever together, yet forever apart. "I tried to keep my voice steady because of the sheer emotions that the song was bringing back, shook me so much from within that my voice was about to crack. I had to go back and schedule surgery as soon as was possible. Perhaps it was evening, perhaps it was the air,
