The Surgery!

‘In life, we face certain turns that never have an immediate effect. Initially, it looks cruel. The pain we suffer appears forced. But in the end, when it all comes to a full circle, those random changes and abrupt turns make sense. And then you realize why it all happened.’ Kiara felt a tug in her heart reciting those words in the book she was currently reading. A wave of agony passed through her blank eyes.

The sudden marriage, her abandonment, her arrival in this city, and all that had happened since that particular night flashed in front of her mind. She heaved a breath, clutching the book.

Earlier this evening, she received a call from Sister Mary reporting her on Aaron’s complex surgery that was ongoing since 9:30 in the morning. She wanted to come during the lunch break, but Mary stopped her. She advised it was better for her to come when she is not in a rush to go back.

Had she needed to go to the hospital, she would have called me or gone to uncle James’ hospital.” He murmured, picking up his phone to call Leena.“Exactly.

    “What the —” Kiara shrieked. Reflexively, her hand raised to push the person.“Woah, calm down pretty lady. It’s just me!” Hunter held her wrist, preventing himself from the push. It was him standing with a surprised smile on his face, wondering at Kiara’s action. That was justified, though.Kia squeezed her hand into a loose fist, as her mind registered his voice, tagging it familiar. In an instant, her eyes widened, looking at the man in front of her. “Hunter!” She kept a hand on her heart, heaving a scared breath as she closed her eyes for some seconds. “Gosh!

That was never my intention.” He took the seat next to Kia, grinning like the full moon.“Who comes like that?” She snapped at him like a cute little girl complaining about her spilled chocolate. T

But for your relief, I’ll run a few tests on her when her temperature reduces. Till then, these medicines will help her gain her immunity back.” James assured, then ran a soft hand through Viaan’s hair, patting his head. “I understand your fears, Viaan, but don’t worry, it has nothing to do with her prevailing ailment.

    ‘Gosh! That was close!’ Leo mumbled, widening his eyes.Luckily, the man had his seat belts on. His head just stopped three inches away from the hard steering wheel. However, the violent shock from the heavy blow shook his body terribly when it banged on the seat’s back support. The rear portion of his head collided with the seat, sending dizziness to his nerves. He needed a few seconds to calm himself, undoubtedly.The call was long disconnected, thus he cared less about it right now. The man leaned on the back support and close his eyes to come out of the psycho-physiological concussion he felt a few seconds ago.‘Ah…’ A deep sigh left his throat, feeling the dizziness in his mind. It spun, and it spun badly.Heart running a marathon, he loosened his grip on the steering, letting his mind sink into what happened. A minute passed, and he inhaled a deep breath. Absolute tremors were still running through his nerves.Finally, Leo exhaled a relieved breath, thanking the almighty several

The morning came much faster than their expectations.Alluring bright glimmers peeked through the half-curtained window of his bedroom, feathering the bare bodies of the couple. Soothing breeze giggling at the way their bodies synced with breathing.Groaning in protest at the sun’s rays, Leo tried to cover his eyes with his left hand, only to realize that it was under his girl’s head as she was snuggling into the warmth. His eyes fluttered open with a frown on his head. He focused his sight on the surroundings and realized it was later than his usual waking-up time.He exhaled a deep breath and turned his head, glancing at Rachel, who had her hands wrapped around his bare form while their legs entangled into each other.Leo chuckled at how cutely she had pushed her face into his muscular chest, still breathing conveniently.

I’m sure you’ll get another job soon.” Her tone was soothingly consoling.Compulsively, the urge to know the matter rose in Leo’s mind. He wanted to stay there and hear what else Rachel was saying, but eavesdropping seemed a bad idea, especially with his girl. Shaking his head negatively, he decided in against it and walked inside the room.“I’ll see you at home.” Rachel saw Leo stepping inside the room and disconnected the call, smiling at him.“Kiara?” he asked, with an oblivious face.Rachel nodded, “Ye

Now give me my thing back!” He said over the call.“I am impressed with your quickness, Mr. Moore.” a masculine heavy voice was heard from the other side. “I thought you would still take a few more days. But no. You proved why this is priceless to you. Excellent, old man.” With a dark chuckle, the man added. The words were more like a mocking of Mr. Moore’s efforts, and that made the elderly man clench his fingers.Mr. Moore’s entire body shook with rage. At that moment, he wanted nothing but to thrash everything around. To get the man in a chokehold and punch him straight across the face for making him dance on his fingers.

Her fingers tightened around my palm, clutching mine with a grip that spoke volumes.“Viaan, this…” She began, her voice trailing off as disbelief washed over her.Not believing what she saw, she was struggling to find the right set of words. Her lips wobbled putting an impromptu pause. She looked back at me, her gaze searching for confirmation, her body trembling slightly.That was my cue to confirm her doubts.With pride and emotions lacing my own voice, I squeezed her shoulders and nodded. “Paradis d’Amour, Maa. Our dream.” I announced, taking my mother in a half hug from sideways, holding onto her as tightly as I could.She averted her gaze back to the property.

At least tell me now.” Leena asked for the nth time, getting annoyed at her son’s silence over the matter.Viaan, like the previous times, smiled mischievously and answered without looking back. “Patience, Maa, patience. You’ll come to know soon.”Leena scoffed audibly, narrowing her eyes at her son’s mischief, and scolded him lightly. “That ‘soon’ of yours has not come since the last three and a half hours of our journey. How long more would you keep it a secret?” Her eyes wrinkled at the corners while her nose flared in annoyance.Her anger didn’t seem to affect Viaan a bit as the man chuckled loudly. “As I said, it is a surprise, Maa. I’m not telling you to spoil the fun already.” He refused to reveal, making his mother smack his arms from the backseat.“You have become too naughty these days.” She said through her gritted teeth, only to get a burst of hearty laughter from her son.Huffing, she crossed her hands across her chest and s

His dull face was uplifted with the pure essence of their support throughout his life.“You —” Ryan started to speak, but then his eyes narrowed as he studied Viaan’s features more closely. “Were you crying, Viaan?” His eyes scanned Viaan’s face with concern.On cue, Leo also took a closer look. “Yeah, you look off!” He exclaimed, pointing out the obvious signs of distress.Viaan stilled. His smile dropped into a thin line. Immediately, he averted his eyes away from them and looked everywhere around.How come Ryan observed that? His shoulders tensed once again.“No. Why would I cry?” He chuckled nervously shrugging his shoulders, not wanting them to read his face further.“Then why are your eyes red and moist?” Ryan scoffed, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t lie through your teeth

Last night, I had to lie to Kia and Maa as I had spent entire hours in planning for the surprise for Maa. Then this morning the leftover documentation took my time while I also went to check for last-minute preparations. I just happened to come here one hour ago as I can’t go directly to home. And as soon as I came here, the first thing I did was to call Maa.

He had just dropped the text last night that he wouldn’t be coming home tonight as he had an urgent meeting and some important work. So, he is perhaps staying at the penthouse itself.” Kiara sighed, continuing to fill Leena’s plate.Leena nodded recalling the text Kiara showed her last night. Viaan had specifically mentioned to tell Leena about it, he himself didn’t text her thinking she must be asleep by then.It was around eleven in the morning.

Didn’t he and his lawyer want time?” The question triggered his mind, he inquired in a disbelieving tone.The frown went deeper on his face; his eyeballs moving constantly as he tried to figure out Viaan’s step. One thing was crystal clear neither Viaan nor his lawyer saw this proposal as a simple invitation to get rid of legal troubles. Hence it was very much acceptable for his rival to seek time to agree or even deny.That’s why, even when this frustrated Hunter, he was ready for any secret investigation Viaan did on him. But little did he expect, that his acceptance would come this early and fast.He heard Daniel huffing from the other end and came out of his thoughts. “I have no idea, Sir. But if they are ready then why not proceed? This was the plan after

All he allowed me is tonight.” Kiara retorted, holding her breath in apprehension.She can hear her heart pounding in her ears, and sweat beads adorning her temples even after the decreased temperature of AC.Her words followed a silence before Sophie sighed audibly. “You have taken more than you should, Kia. You can’t avoid it any longer. Dr. Ryan was right when he said the more delay you are making the harder it would be to make Viaan understand.” Sophie indirectly quoted Ryan’s words from the last evening.“Out of all people, you should be understanding my dilemma, Soph.” Kiara clicked her tongue, getting annoyed at not finding any solution. “I didn’t wait for Tyler to just wake up, but I needed to k

The words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of the revelation.A revelation that Kiara least expected today.The room fell into a stunned silence.
