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
Few years later."Mr Harper, Please come to my office with the Y file."The president of the company ordered the CEO while the client sitting in front of her was speechless. He wanted to say something but became quite and few minutes later, the CEO entered the office and sat with him while giving the file to the woman sitting on the other side of the table.Sophia started reading the file and after sometime she gave it back to the man."Next time, being the lawyer with you. I want some changes in the contract."Her voice held so much authority that the man could not say anything and picked the file. If Mr Harper could not say anything to her then who was he.Harper smiled and leaned towards her."What about lunch together?""I have a meeting."She rudely replied and Harper could see she was ignoring him from past few days.He got up and walked towards her. Putting one hand on the chair, he leaned making Sophia look at him rather surprised.Before he could say anything, the door opene
In a week, Sophia was married to Harper. She did not say anything, she did not object. After the marriage, her father had to flew to another country for the transplant and now she was all alone.She was sitting in the room when she saw Harper's car entering the house. She did not see him from past two days since they got married.The door opened and she heard Harper entering the room. Seeing her sitting near the window, Harper's heart ached. He walked towards her and sat on the floor near her but she did not look at him."Sophie...did you eat?"He asked her who did not look at him. "Sophie."This time she looked at him with blank expressions."Why don't you get ready and we can go out for dinner?""Why don't you leave me alone? You wanted to marry me and you succeeded. Now what else you want?"She asked him in a broken tone who lifted his hand and gently put it on her cheek."Sophie, I never wanted to hurt you.""But you did.""It was a mistake. When I approached you I did not want
The next day, Sophia had to shift back to the same house from where they were thrown ten months ago. Her father was happy thinking that Sophia would come out of the miserable life she was living but not Sophia.She did not want to trust the same person again. How can he suddenly wanted to forgive them and let them come back to their original life. She knew he was planning something and she was waiting for his next move."Harper wanted to take you for shopping."Her mother informed her as she entered her room while Sophia sat up and gave a complaining stare to her mother."How can you forget what he did? Do you really believe he forgave dad? I don't think so. He is going to do something again."She tried not to raise her tone while her mother walked towards her and sat near her. She took her hands as if wanted to give her courage."I know. But your dad...He is paying for your dad's transplant and..."Her mother left the sentence in middle while Sophia knew what her mother wanted to sa
Harper angrily threw the file on the wall which had no data for Sophia and her parents. It seemed as if they disappeared from the world. Guilt kept building in his heart. He knew he was going to lose Sophia if he took his revenge but he pushed all the thoughts in the back of his head but now he regretted it.He got up from the seat and went to the big glass as he stared outside in the distance. Suddenly his eyes fell on the people on a platform that were cleaning the windows.For a second, he could not believe his eyes seeing Sophia doing this kind of work. He went to other side of the room that now he was standing in front of her who was spraying the liquid on the window. Now standing this close, he could see all the effects on her that he left in those past months."Sophia..."Gavin called Sophia who turned her head to look at him."Let's go for dinner together tonight."He asked her who pressed her lips together."It will be my treat."He added leaving no way for her to say no. So
Sophia glanced at the big building in front of her hands made fists. The building belonged to his father but not anymore. Now she was here to clean the windows."Let's go partner. We are going to have a lot of fun."A man came near her nad put his arm around her shoulder as he looked at the building."It's quite high. Are you scared of hights?""No."She replied while the man chuckled. He lead her inside and both reached to the roof. They set the things up and wore safety belts.Slowly, Gavin lowered the platform and we're reached to their desired destination. Sofia started cleaning the windows while Gavin was telling her what to do and not to do."You know, this building belonged to Mr Garce before.Don't take me wrong but his daughter was very pretty."Sofia looked at him who was in daze."But she was more pretty inside."He shook his head and picked his things to help Sophia."I wonder what she is doing now."Sophia chuckled wryly. Yes, she was there right with him and he was looki
"You all can leave early today. The boss is coming to check the building and you all can have half day off."The supervisor told everyone while Sophia was happy. She could go home and take some sleep now.She finished her work and was sitting at the side of the pathway when a car stopped the building. The people were arriving to check the building and it means that they can leave now.She sat outside and unwrapped the sandwich. She took a bite and chewed it slowly while wiping the sweat from her forehead.Six months passed and she was going to be jobless soon again but she was waiting for the supervisor who asked her to wait for him.She was not able to eat the sandwich when the supervisor called her. She put the half eaten sandwich and went towards him who was talking to a man."She is Sophia.""She looks weak. I don't think she can do it."The other man scanned her and rejected her on the spot while teg supervisor chuckled."Come on. Do it for me. Moreover, she is very ahrd working.
Sophia's father was getting treatment in the hospital while her mother was taking care of her husband with everything she could do. There was a coldness between Sophia and her mother and Sophia could do nothing to stop it. She made a mistake and she was paying for it.Mrs Grace only let a diamond ring that her husband gave her on their wedding night. She sold the ring and paid the bill of the hospital. After it, they transferred to a small apartment with the remaining money.Sophia changed in a week. She started looking for a job and was able to work as a waitress in a nearby cafe to the apartment. Mrs Grace wanted to start a job but her husband's condition was not very good and he needed someone to take care of him for every second."Please take care of dad.I can work as much as I can."Sophia told her mother before she left for the work. She was working two jobs at a time and would only come home late at night and then would leave early.Time was passing slowly but she was able to
Today was the happiest day for Sophia as her boyfriend of two years was coming to meet her father. She had been dating Harper Blaze from past two years and he proved to be a perfect boyfriend.She picked her phone and dialed the number which was picked immediately."Where are you?""In your house."She heard a car entering the house and quickly turned off the phone. Before going out, she glanced at herself in the big mirror and smiled.There were some sounds coming from outside so she got out of her room and walked outside but the view was enough to make her froze at her place.Her father was holding Harper's feet begging him something which the expressions on Harper's face were not what she used to see everyday He was no longer the kind person she knew but right now he looked like a devil."Your property, your business and your everything belongs to me from now on."Harper kicked her father on his chin making him fall on the floor while Sophia tried not to scream. She wanted to go
Sasha was staring at the necklace. It was cute but looked expensive. "Do you like it?"Dawes asked her making her come out of her thoughts and look at him. She smiled."Yes.""Do you want me to buy it for you?""Yes.""Anything else." He questioned her as he gestured towards manager who came near them."No." She suddenly felt nervous."Why don't you try it first?"He smiled and it seemed like the manager got the idea. He quickly took out the box and placed it in front of Sasha who became more nervous. She was not expecting him to buy this neck for it.He never bought anything for her. Not even a single candy. She was not sure if he had money on him or he was going to do something stupid.Dawes picked the necklace carelessly and put it around her neck. He touched the pink diamond in the middle of the necklace and smiled."You look amazing with this. You better wear it permanently as I am wearing this for you."He showed her the green Jade ring while Sasha stared at him."It looks expe
