Gaura bit her lip as he saw her house from the window of the car. She could feel her heart beating fast as she was about to see her parents after four months. She couldn't describe her feelings of whether she was angry with them or she missed them.The car stopped and she came out of the car. Her eyes fell on the lawn which was still covered by the white and pink flowers. Gaura Lindheimeri."Oh." She heard surprised voice of Samuel and she sneered."My father named me Gaura and you think I don't know what it means." "These are a lot of flowers." Samuel admired and felt like a fool at the same time."But our little Gaura is more cute." Gaura rolled her eyes."Gaura." She saw her mother coming towards them and then she hugged Gaura. ...................Samuel tried to control his smile over the father and daughter who both were crying while hugging each other. Both of them were showing attitude to each other during the whole lunch and now were not letting each other go.Mrs Brown smi
"Put the chilies and tomato ketchup. Put some soya sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, salt, sugar and...... this secret spice. Voila, our sauce is ready." Samuel tried to act dramatic but Gaura only rolled her eyes lazily."I am really not interested in knowing that. Just cook it quickly." She ordered him while swinging her legs.Samuel glared at her and put the already cut vegetables in the pan."Cooking is a basic surviving skill. I can't believe you learn sword fighting but not cooking." He clicked his tongue while stirring vegetables."Because someone once told me that girls should learn cooking instead of playing soccer." Samuel turned towards her and then started laughing. Gaura only glared at him who was laughing non stop."Karma is real." He finally spoke."When I told you that..... Dad was standing near and after practice he made me join cooking classes." Gaura chuckled listening to the story. Since childhood, she really liked Mr Patrick as whenever they fight and he find out abou
"Be careful and don't try to talk to other boys." As Gaura was about to leave the car, Samuel instructed her like always and Gaura only rolled her eyes like always."Anything else." She sarcastically asked him who didn't catch the sarcasm but looked around and then lean towards her ready to kiss."I can break your jaw if you want to." Gaura calmly told him who quickly moved back.Gaura got out of the car as it was her everyday routine. In the start, she thought it will be over in few days but Samuel's clinginess increased day by day. Samuel saw her leaving and sighed. He got out of the car and walked towards his class....................."Gaura, Samuel is fighting in cafeteria." Kayla entered in the class in hurry. She looked pale and scared as she already witnessed everything.Gaura scoffed and got up. As she entered the cafeteria she saw Samuel fighting with her class fellow while Ken was holding him from behind."What's going on?" She tried to take Samuel away who was trying to
Samuel moved Gaura away from his chest and stared at her face. It was covered with tears but she looked peaceful while sleeping. She was exhausted physically and emotionally.Samuel lifted her in his arms and took her to the bed. He gently put her in the bed and then laid next to her. Pulling her closer to him, he kissed her forehead. He protectively hugged her and closed his eyes as he was tired too...............Gaura rolled on the bed and slowly opened her eyes. It took her few minutes to remember what happened last night and she sat up with a jerk. Knowing that there was no way she could do anything, she combed her hair with her fingers and got out of the bed. She took her clothes and walked towards the bathroom.She didn't know how long she stayed under the shower as her mind was fill with all the thoughts she had to do next but still she was unable to make a decision.She came out while drying her hair with a towel and found Samuel sitting on the couch while waiting for her.S
"Daddy, I want this flower." Gaura shouted to get her father's attention who was trimming rose plant."No, Gaura." His father glanced at her while she pouted and tried to break the big red rose. The moment she held the stem she shrieked as few thorn pierced in her hand.Her father threw the tools and tried to help her but she didn't let go of the stem."Gaura, leave it. You are only hurting yourself."Gaura sniffed while her eyes were full of tears."But daddy, I want it.""Come on. Listen to me. Let it go." Gaura slowly opened her fingers and let go of the stem. Her father lifted her in his arms and brought her to a nearby bench. He took her hand in his and examined her wound."See, you didn't want to let go and now you hurt yourself. Gaura, sometime it's better to let go of the things which hurt you the most.""But daddy, it won't hurt me it you trim the thorn." She objected while Mr Brown smiled."But what's the benefit. It will die in your hands.""But it will die there too." Gau
Gaura was lazily sitting on the couch while her eyes followed her father who was leaving for the office. He didn't look at her and this broke her heart.It's been three days since she came to her house and Samuel didn't stop her either but her father was angry over her decision of coming home.Few minutes later, her mother came and sat beside her who immediately hugged her mother."He is still angry with me." She sobbed while her mother patted her head softly. "Are you going to talk to Ronnie? He already came many times and....""Please mom." She tightened her grip on her mother."I can't....""You can't keep doing that. You need to face it.""But mom....""No but, you are my brave little girl and I believe you. No matter what you decide, just remember that we love you and we are always with you." Gaura smiled while looking at her mother's face."I love you mom.""I love you too my little flower. "At the same time, a maid entered and informed them that Ronnie was outside as he want
Samuel sat back while Gaura was still holding his wrist. Seeing him sitting back, Gaura confusingly looked at him."Aren't you going?""You are holding my hand. How can I go?""Just pull it. I won't hold onto it forever.""I am not that strong." Samuel smiled painfully.Gaura stared at him and then slowly tried to free his hand but Samuel put his hand over her's."Don't leave my hand." He begged her while Gaura looked blank.She looked in his eyes and smiled brightly for the first time in last six months. She tightened her grip on his hand who got the idea what she decided. Samuel felt relieved like a heavy weight moved from his chest. He pulled Gaura against his chest and hugged her tightly...........................Ronnie looked at his watch and then at entrance. Gaura was nowhere to be found. He got up and picked his stuff. He knew she will never come. He already lost her when he decided to leave her at the alter."I am sorry."He whispered as a tear rolled down his cheek......
"What are doing sitting here? How many times I told you to not show me your ugly face, you weirdo." She glared at the new boy who was sitting peacefully on his chair minding his own business and this pissed her."I don't know why you are mad because I am ugly." He looked at her making her gasp. This was the first time he talked back and she did not have any answer.Everyone in the school knew that Sally had a special grudge on this new boy who transferred to their school six months ago.Could it be because he had that kind of aura around him that makes everyone bow to him or because he was stood mysterious. Even his best friends did not know anything about him, who he was and why he was so good in everything.But this was not the reason Sally hated Lucas. She hated him because he was one of them. And who were them? Well it was the group of people that were in a cold war with Sally and her friends.No one knew when this cold war started but everyone knew that Sally's gang hated Victori
