CHAPTER 15
Disturbed souls.
Author’s point of view…
There has to be at least some space for a person to be able to breathe unfortunately, for Girard, it seems as if he was locked in a square shaped room that hardly had a steps distance around. His throat turned as dry as desert while his eyes filled up with new badge of tears. Having mixed emotions of fear, regret, anxiety and serenity going through him, he looked nowhere but her face.
On the other hand, she only smiled. A smile that said so many things yet nothing. Kiara was baffled to see him in such state. Never have she ever in her entire life thought that she will one day get to see her bully crying like that in front of her. The sight was amusing but still saddening.
The two of them stood face to face staring each other. Even not for a nano second did their eyes diverted or blinked. Such a cri
CHAPTER 16Is it the end!He sweated severely while the soft giggles of his baby boy echoed in the passageway. “Billy! My baby.” Raven busted into tears murmuring the same words over and over again. Was that even true or was he just hallucinating to hear his voice! Wasn’t he in the hospital admitted.Uhh, may be he was perfectly alright as said by his brother and was back to him!Or you can say his grandparents bought him here so that he can meet his father?There were many questions rising in his head— some good and some bad. However, he did not even think about Kiara for a moment. He was too happy to have his baby back that he completely forgot about her. He forgot that still she was unaware to that innocent secret of his life and there are chances that she might end up separating away from him!
CHAPTER 17Tired and defeated!Suddenly the entire area was blanketed with white smoke. There was no object, no tile on the ground, no mess lying around but just white smoke that spread as long as one’s eyes could see. Raven batted his eyes attempting to see what was all that about. He in fact he kneaded his together with force in order to rub off the hallucination, if it was any.Albeit, it was not!He took few steps forward roaming around in the place. There was not even any path to follow— just an empty land that ran white in the front as long as eyes could catch the glimpse of it. He slightly rubbed his hands together feeling cold.The temperature has gone down all of a sudden. He looked around albeit to find none unless, “Dadda!” He looked everywhere, in all the four directions looking to for the source of the voi
CHAPTER 18. I need go… Raven’s point of view… I was stunned. My breaths ceased as my eyes focused in the front. Was that true? Or was I just seeing things out of nowhere. I rubbed my eyes to check whether it was like the past time, my delusion. I was tired of the drive, my eyes were paining. May be I was just viewing this all like I did few hours ago for Billy. “Yeah, and you know what he is just crazy. Mark my words he will keep Raven on the edge, he is one heck of a stubborn son. You can say replica of his father but cuter and more stubborn than him!” Girard was sitting on the bench in the first row with Kiara. They were talking. I really can’t see whether the talk was firm or happening out of the heat of the moment but it was them only. “ He is really cute. Does he look the same in real? Just look at him he looks like a doll.” She said. Her voice was normal and playful. It was different that I could still sense hurt and heaviness. This was not new, I know this. I have experien
CHAPTER 19. Revelation… No one's POV…Late in the night that was howling with the chirping of night insects, Surrounded with huge long trees and a graveyard in the north, the church glistened with the lights of the ceiling and the candles. It was peaceful, anybody could meet their satisfaction. Indeed, a church is a place that is not only the house of the God but also a shelter for all those lost people who are looking for a way to go on in life.Something of the same kind was happening with Raven. He has lost his path, although it was right across his eyes just the thing was that— obstacles were too many and time too less. And after being not able to go for the path he chose he came up to the God’s house to look for some signs, some help from the almighty and see, not even few hours have gone by, and he found what he was looking for.Kiara.She softly muffled lowering her head. Her wrist was still under his solid grip. It was obvious there was no way she could struggle, fight, try
CHAPTER 20. His daughter… The night grew fascinating and windy. Their hairs flew along with the rhythm of winds. Raven smiled chastely when Kiara’s hair strands brushed over on his cheek caressing it. Uhh, it had been better if that has been her soft palm instead! He so much yearns for her to embrace him in her arms. It was irritating in the past yet as they say ‘with growing gap and dying emotions’ after some years you crave for those feelings to be felt again. And now, he yearned to feel those moments again. In fact, she desired the same. She wanted to feel him close, have him kiss her like a maniac that he was as her lover playing stupid pranks and being her partner in all the naughty crimes she committed in the college. Two heart— yearning for the same feeling sat silent with the only thought that the other one of them would not want it! They sighed lightly. Time is really cruel, it makes a person see umpteenth situations at the same time, especially when they are already surrou
CHAPTER 21. As much as he needs me, I need him… Kiara’s point of view… My breaths were stuck in my throat. I wished to breathe and keep standing to the going on situation, yet I couldn’t. His words left me speechless. I froze in my spot and eventually the air around me began to get heavier and burn my skin with increasing chills. I was sure by now my skin would have gone crimson under the decreasing temperature. Any how as I moved my head to see him with great difficulty, my heart ached reading his features. He sat like that participant of the competition who lost the match few seconds right before reaching the finish line. “Wh-at!” my voice cracked at the unexpected disclosure. So much pain! So much hurt! So much guilt! I never thought Raven was living such a difficult life. Look at him, he was young and handsome. He has not even started to enjoy his adult life as an individual and he was already trapped by obstacles and so many problems. He became an unfortunate father of two k
CHAPTER 22. His strength… He placed his hands over mine which were gripping against his hard chest firmly. His skin was burning, it was hot. “Only if you had opened the door that day, shoved few slaps on my face and threatened me to do something to yourself, I should have changed my mind.” He mewled holding on to me tight. He was not wrong, providing that if I had tried— TRIED then we could have been together. I knew it right after the moment I met him for the first time, he was moody and a vague decision maker. He often made unprofessional decisions ruining his projects that could have been a big hit. “You know throughout the journey to the airport I wished to see you. Hug you. I know I was wrong but it won’t be wrong either to say that you didn’t made any efforts to save our relationship. If I was bent on ending us, drawing us apart then you too let me do it. You knew, I was attracted to her yet you kept mum just because you thought it will change me up. Why didn’t you change me li
CHAPTER 23. Billy’s back home… A week later, There was nervousness on Raven’s face. He bit his nails whilst sitting on the chair outside the ward impatiently. “Girard! What do you think, how will she react?” he anxiously asked his brother longingly gaping over in his direction. Girard smiled, the same kind of smile he gave him during their journey till here, to the hospital. “You are over thinking brother. There's no reason in you getting so nervous now. She knows everything right! She has been here the entire week with mom, why are you bothering yourself uselessly! “ Squeezing his shoulder Girard gave him a side hug. They actually have come to the hospital to see Billy. He was going to be discharged today. The doctors were shocked and considered it more like a miracle seeing his recovery after Kiara came to see him the next day of that night and that chaos. He was weak and hardly opened his eyes. However, as she kept coming and seeing him, he got a lot better and today, he was goi
(Last chapter)63. Baby boy's birthday"Mummy, I want tho (to) go to the market" Billy uttered with his slipping tongue.He was growing up quickly and his talks were becoming way more and more cute and naughty. He was becoming more stubborn too. Kiara smile watching baby boy stand in his half pants in front of her as if he was an obedient son of her mamma. "Sure, I will take you to the market" she pulled his chubby cheeks whilst kissing them lightly too.Five months passed by in a jiffy, and they were the most amazing five months of their lives while they stayed together in Raven's parents' house. Today was Billy's third birthday too, so the celebration was doubled.Girard and his grandparents were occupied with the task of decorating the house. They decided to go with the theme of Mowgli an
62. New beginningA week later,"Thanks" Shania smiled sitting on an armchair as Payton forwarded her a cup of coffee.She was staring at the starry sky from the ceiling to floor huge window. It was like a clip playing on a screen. The blue sky mixed with black theme looked awesomely beautiful. "How long are you going to stay here?" he asked taking a seat next to her.Shania stubbornly got discharged that day from the hospital and tried to attempt suicide again however, Payton who had followed her saved her. He slapped her on the cheek and taught her how important and worthy her life was.But as broken as she was, she still did not want to go to the hospital and face her ex-husband. She was crazy at her father too who had refused to file a case against Raven and Kiara for trick
61. Unveiling secrets and a broken WarriorWith the arrival of fresh morning new relationships came to life. The fresh breeze of the new beginning brushed Kiara's pale tired face. She stirred stretching her arms on her side. She trailed her palm on the side of the bed under her semi-conscious state. "Raven!" she sat on the bed with jolt as the side of the bed was empty.She looked at the wash room but no voice came from inside. Billy was sleeping in his cradle while the windows was perfectly curtained so that no sun light can creep inside the room and disturb her sleep.They were open in the last night. Raven may have closed them, but the question was, where was he?Kiara's heard started throbbing loudly. Hasn't he decided to abandon her!Many such emotions filled her h
60. Unexpected crashWhile the living beings were sleeping soundly in their beds Payton sat in the empty lounge of Seattle Airport alone. He was waiting for his private jet to occur that was about to come. On the other hand, his mind yearned to message Raven and Kiara and wish them a good luck before leaving.He was going back to Serbia, this time forever. Although her love was incomplete, yet he was happily going back with some of the good memories stoked up in his brain. He was happy for uniting the couple he grew up seeing since the college began. The two of them were college darlings and meant to be together.But the life played according to its game and after some separation and drama it finally brought the two of them together. Together a happy family they seemed awesome. He can't admire their love for a limit, it was limitless.&nbs
59. Their love won!It came as a shock to Kiara. She stiffened her body under his pressure while emotions built within her. She was speechless running dry with words and empty with courage. Her fingers around his shoulder s loosened and came across her chest. She suddenly felt like a fish drawn out of the water and thrown of muddy ground to suffer.She was still in daze that her eyes several times blinked. Had she imagined him saying that! She asked herself while her lung blew and such long breaths. Raven though was not in any mood of pretending it was her imagination. The way he got back on his legs and faced the open windows of their room, his tongue spoke again, "I just proved your swears wrong, Kiara. You said you were pure, didn't you? If you were pure why would you yearn to my sexual advances like that" he raised his eye brow giving her thought looks.Kiara wh
58. He's turned you into a sex addictThird person's point of view...She was waiting for him without keeping her attention occupied by any other stuff. It was 12.15 am in the night, billy was sleeping soundly in his baby cradle located beside the bed on a distance. The room was illuminating with dim lights while Kiara walked to and fro around the balcony waiting for his car to catch her glimpse.They were supposed to talk. She was prepared doing what she has planned. Alas, there was no sign of him anywhere. Ste was ready to take the bull by the horns but her badass husband was seeing to it that she suffered.Not only had he blocked her phone number but also warned anyone to give her his location. Kiara tried talking to Girard and his answer was as expectedly— useless.Bu
57. When I talk to you— look at meKiara's point of view...The life was giving me a second chance. It was not yet clear but I have seen it... It was my chance— chance to ask for my husband's forgiveness.He was mad at me for staying at another man's house. But how to make him believe we stayed in two different rooms in the same house. Payton is not that bad which he was in the college. He is a changed man now.But for raven, he was still the old guy who was just trying to woo his girlfriend turned into wife.Any ways, I have seen it in his eyes he was not angry... He was just jealous. And if what I have deciphered true, than tonight will the night of our togetherness. I will make him mine again.I have changed to take reve
56. How can I not believe that nothing happened!He halted on the door looking at the scene before him. There was nothing he could say as his son was actually crying because her uncle Girard has held him within his arms not letting him go to his mamma. She was on the bed looking extremely sick with red eyes and yellowish pale skin. There was a bottle of glucose hanging on the bedside while the pipe kept attached to the back of her wrist. Who would tell his stubborn son what was up with her.He cried kicked and bit Girard on the shoulder agitated by his action of preventing him from his mamma.But when little Billy caught the sigh of his startled father at the door step, "Pappa... Pappa" he faked a cry pushing Girard away from himself and got down of the bed carefully.Just as his little body pushed itself down the bed
55. You don't see my painAfter that leave Raven never visited his parents' house to see Billy. That Night Kiara cried to herself hugging her son to her chest as she did manage to get him back to herself but his father, she could not get him at all.He was damn angry on her.It was justified though.Kiara can comprehend as to what was holding him back. Firstly, she left them in the hardships and when her guilt was eating her for the blunder she made, she came back.Although the entire Carter family forgave her there was her husband who was still maintaining distance from her. "Morning uh, m-mom!" Her eyes were red and puffy, Mrs. Carter forced a smile recognizing them.She must have cried the whole night!
