“Papa” Liam squealed excitedly as his father entered the house.“What’s up champ?” Malcolm asked as his lips curved up in a smile and he picked his son from the floor, then he noticed the ambiance in the room. “What happened?” He asked but instead aura faked a smile.“We were just having fun, that’s all”“Did Angeline say something to you?”This time, his voice didn’t sound gentle at all. Did that lady come to threaten her?“She was threatening my sister and saying hurtful things” Ryan said after a while and Aurora prodded him but ignored her and faced Malcolm again.“She told my sister that she wanted her family back and she should stay away”Malcolm sighed as he massaged the space between his brows, what the hell was wrong with ladies?“Did that Aunty say something bad to you mama?” Liam asked but instead she smiled at him.“It’s nothing Baby” aura added and turned to Malcolm who had a grim look on his face, “you don’t have say anything to her” she warned“We will head out now” h
“What nonsense are you saying?” Aura began to yell and when she saw them trying to cover Liam’s already stiff body, she ran towards the nurse and grabbed the white sheet from her hand,“Don’t you have any shame?covering a child like that?” She yelled again as the tears poured down in torrent.“Liam?” She began to shake him again, “wake up, mama is here”Everyone in the operating room could see how hurt she was but there was nothing they could do except look at the director for help. They all worked in the same hospital with her but none of them have ever seen her so hyped up.“Nurse aurora” the director called calmly as he walked towards her, he could understand the pain she was feeling, after all he was in the same shoes years ago when he lost his daughter and wife in a ghastly crash.“Nurse aura, you have to pull yourself together okay?if you are behaving like this then how will Malcolm take the news? He asked lovingly and the pain in her heart increased when she heard Malcolm’s nam
Malcolm was speechless for what seemed like ages,what nonsense were these people sprouting now?“Where is Liam, aura?” He asked again, this time he sounded so downcast and aura didn’t know what to say again. It hurt her to break the news to him.“I am really sorry Malcolm, we lost him. The tumor began to slip out of his brain and followed with blood gushing out of his body and we lost him” it was Aiden who was talking, he was also equally hurt and sad.“Liam” Malcolm muttered under his breath and moved a step backward but he ended up falling on the floor and everyone rushed towards him, “you guys are lying right?” He asked but aura nodded in the negative, and she was also crying profusely. Everyone gathered around had tears in their eyes, this was the lowest they had seen Malcolm.“But…but… he was fine right?I told him I was coming back for him. He should have waited for me” he continued to wail, “he promised he wasn’t going to leave me right? We had a lot we were supposed to do toget
Everyone was teary eyed as the casket was being lowered into the ground, even Malcolm could not stop his own tears because that was years and years of his memory being buried alongside his son. The pain of a father losing his son was much more than any other pain. Even Aurora was not left out of the mix, she felt like a part of her died along with Liam and she would never be able to forget him no matter what. The little boy who didn’t even know her but loved her like a mother, how could she possibly forget about him.“Let’s say our final goodbyes” the priest announced and after a while, Malcolm stepped forward with a white rose in his hand.“My dear boy” he began slowly, “I know by now you are somewhere safe and no one will be able to stop you from being happy now. Always know that……” his voice became choked with tears, it was just too hard for him to bid his son farewell. As he was crying, he felt a hand on his shoulder and when he turned he saw Angeline beside him. She also looked v
After entering the house, Aura dropped her shoes by the door and walked straight into her room before slumping on the bed.Memories of Liam flooded back into her head and she just couldn’t help it as another set of tears escaped her eyes. The fact that she would never be able to see him again made the pain in her heart more painful. Ever since the two of them got close, she got to experience love in a child’s form and that was the most beautiful feeling in the world but all that is in the past now. She would never be able to see him again even if she wanted to, the happiest days of her life were almost over.Ryan walked into the room with a hot cup of coffee and placed it on her bedside table.“Have some coffee sis, you have been crying for a long time now. You may get sick” he advised as he sat on the bed.“I don’t want anything” Aurora answered in a tear stricken voice and Ryan sighed before taking one of her hands in his.“I understand that you and Liam were very close but even he
Aurora gasped at the sight in front of her, their clothes were sprawled on the ground in different places while they were both on the couch And were they stack naked right now?She was even too surprised to move and kept standing there.Feeling the light creep up on his face, Malcolm slowly opened his eyes and what he saw made him jolt. Why was Angeline lying naked in his arms? And the worst part was that he was also naked. What the heck was happening?“You should cover up” a voice filtered into his ears and he quickly turned his head to see Aurora’s back and she was already walking out of the house.“Fuck” he muttered under his breath as he quickly stood up and gathered his clothes into his hands. The memories of the night before daintily came back to his mind and he shook his head to remove them. He knew he was drunk and….did they?…. When did she even get here though?“You are already awake?” Angeline asked as she sat up. She wasn’t even surprised to see herself naked on her ex husb
Why did she send him such amount of money?what the hell of wrong with her anyway?Slowly dialing a number, he called Aiden and the latter answered after a few seconds.“Malcolm”“Did you approve the transaction from your finance department to my bank account?” He went straight to the point.“Yes, i had a talk with aura and that was what she wanted”“She came to work?” Malcolm asked again.“Hmm” Aiden answered.Without asking anything else, he disconnected the call before entering his room again.…..The drive to the cemetery was not that far and he was right. She was standing there by Liam’s grave when he walked up to her.“Hey”Aurora turned and when she saw who it was, her mood immediately went bad. She just came here to have an alone time with Liam and Malcolm would not allow her. She was tired of seeing his face all over the place.“I will take my leave” she announced and turned to leave but Malcolm blocked her path. Just like her, he also had a confused look on his face.“Why did
The morning rays of the sun settled slowly on her face and she gently stood up from the bed before stretching herself. Sitting down on the bed, she slowly gazed upon the sun and her lips curved up into a small smile and her thoughts lingered on Liam for a while then the smile on her lips widened.“You promise to make this day a good one, remember Liam?” She muttered under her breath as she continued to smile. Her day was going to be great because she saw him in her dreams after such a long time.It was already two weeks after his death and she was already feeling a bit better.“Today will be a good day” she still muttered to herself again before jumping out of bed. Instead of always sulking, Liam promised to make her days better in her dreams and she believed him.She rushed through her shower and got dressed in her clean clothes before walking out of her room.Ryan was setting the table when she came out and the smile on her face grew wider. Ryan was happy to see her bubbly after a
