KEIRA.A wave of emotions rippled through my veins. Words can't express the fear in my body and heart. My mind and soul wandering so many places. If this was a dream, I prayed for the heavens to wake me up, I stood frozen, clutching my hands on dress tightly. Elena exchanged glances with me, I could see the questions in her eyes. Mark furrowed his brows and moved closer to me. My gaze was still on George's hazel eyes but I was no longer myself, my heart sank millions of times when he asked who I was. Did he forget me? Or was this the gap in his memory Dr Peter talked about? But why me? “Don't you remember her?” Mark inquired,tapping my shoulders. George shook his head in response, “Who is she?” He squinted his brows. I have no idea. Do I know her?” He repeated and I choked out a hiccup. My chest tightening,tears welling up in my eyes. I was feeling so suffocated. Why me? He could have forgotten anyone else but me. Mark kept mute as well as Elena. The air went awkward with unspok
KEIRA.Did I just hear 'Bambi'? Or has my desperation for George to remember me driven me to illusions? Elena paused beside me and it made me wonder if I wasn't losing my mind. Was it just a trick of the wind, or...?"She stared at me and gently turned back to George's angle. I joined her and caught George smiling effortlessly at me, his dimples moving a wave in my heart. Did he remember in split seconds? What was this about? Was it a dream ? Hallucination? I just can't say. “Bambi, how can I forget you?” George had this heavy smile that had my heart melting but I wasn't sure of what was going on. I separated my hands from Elena and pinched my cheeks. I felt the pain on my cheeks from the hard pinch, meaning that I wasn't hallucinating. This was real, he remembered me. My skin prickled with excitement and I felt relief settle deep inside of me. “He remembers me?” I muttered under my breath. “I think so” Elena whispered. “Even in my next life, I will remember you, Bambi. I was just
KEIRA. “Of course not. But why did you pull away?” George asked..“Incase my hair suffocates you to death.” I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I haven't showered either. This is so embarrassing. I heard him chuckle since I was hiding my gàze away. “That wouldn't be possible, Bambi. Even if you smell like pig. You would still be my girl” He muttered, his voice lacing with amusement. Why did I feel he was being sarcastic? Was he mocking me? “You make it sound so easy like you wouldn't dump me.” I purred..“Why would I? Life is meaningless without you. Didn't you know? ” He spoke and a bit of silence hung through the air with my heart jumping out of my chest, reminds me of the prank he just pulled right now.I cleared my throat and sat down at the sofa a bit far from the bed, but quite close as well. I was cautious of coming so close to him now because I might actually possees a bad odour. “You shouldn't be pulling pranks like that…you know” I spoke, biting my lips. Yes, he shou
KEIRA.Was this really happening? George wants Kelvin? Now, I feel guilty. If he would accept Kelvin? Why was I running all these while? Why was I hiding? Now I'm realizing how foolish and selfish I had been. I should have asked him why he didn't want to be a father? What if Elena was right and it was something I could help him overcome? He didn't want to be a father but he is ready to become one because it comes from me. My eyes were brimming with tears even as I was smiling. This aches my heart a lot. I'm not so sure of how to feel? But was I excited? Yes I was, I have never been happier. “Really?” I inquired, a pang of guilt rippling through me. George beamed and nodded. I never I would receive this amount of love from anyone. I may have lacked being loved while growing up but here someone was Willing to accept everything about me. I stood up from sofa, forgetting that I was avoiding George because I haven't showered. I walked up to him that instant as I cupped his cheeks, seali
KEIRA. Dr Peter checked on George and said he would be discharged in three days. For all those three days, I kept going to the hospital. When Dr Peter said he could finally eat solid foods, I would pack almost all kinds of dishes, ranging from carbs, high protein foods and fruits as well. Elena mostly took care of Kelvin since I spent most time at the hospital. I always borrowed clothes from Elena. I haven't had the confidence to go back to the apartment and pick my belongings. The day George was discharged, he insisted so hard that we were moving in with him. I have decided to tell Kelvin that George was his real father and I'm going to help George overcome the fear of feeling he isn't good enough. “Mommy!” Kelvin exclaimed while walking into the ward. Mark picked him up from school and brought him to the hospital. He ran into the ward when I was helping George button his suits..“Kelvin!” I drifted backwards and he jumped into my embrace. “My baby boy…” I brushed my hands throug
Joe drove us to the penthouse. When I told George of how I needed to get our belongings from Sebestian's apartment, he told me not to bother. “Wow!” Kelvin exclaimed after coming down from the car. “Is this our new home, mummy?” He inquired, a grin across his face and before I could say a word, George answered..“Yes! Do you like it ?” “Yes I do, can I take a look at the inside too?” Kelvin asked, fluttering his eyelids. “Of course you can, my boy…” George walked faster and swiped the card key at the door and it opened. I was gently observing both of them. Kelvin ran inside and we walked after him. He began scanning the whole building on arrival. I guess he was so impressed by the surroundings and designs. I wouldn't lie, George's penthouse screamed luxury each time. Even though a long time had passed, it was still so beautiful and impressive. “This place is amazing mum! I don't ever want to move out! Please!” Kevin came to grab my fingers. What was he thinking? Well, having mov
KEIRA. The day passed by so quickly. What marveled me the most was the fact that all the expensive gifts George got me years were still in the room. It was just the way I left it. He said he hired people to clean stuff but never touched a single thing. George went back to the office because of a few schedules. I decided to prepare dinner ahead of time before George comes back. Kelvin never left his room for the remaining hours of the day. He kept playing with his toys. Sebestian hasn't looked out for me nor Kelvin, I did feel bad. I wanted to actually thank him for everything despite what might have transpired, he was really there for me and Kelvin. Clara didn't come home with us but later on, I sent cab money and told her the address of the penthouse. When she got to the penthouse, we had to make the dinner together, perhaps tomorrow we would get any belongings for her because everything is at Sebestian's apartment. But since my previous belongings from the past five years were
KEIRA. The thoughts of being with George again overwhelmed me. I couldn't stop thinking about the last words he whispered. After we set the tables for dinner, we couldn't stop stealing glances and giggling at each other despite Clara and Kelvin being there with us on the table. We ate dinner so fast and by the time I was able to put Kevin to sleep, I had to shower and even used perfumes, wore the sexiest nightdress ever. I sneakily took my pillow and went to George's room but then my facial expressions turned into a disappointed frown. George had fallen asleep without showering. I heaved a sigh. He looked so handsome sleeping calmly . George always had these charms I couldn't define despite being older. “You made so much noise yet fell asleep first” I scowled, taking my seat next to him on the bed. I watched him, a smile on my cheeks. I touched his lips, they were so soft and thin. I loved him so much, I loved everything about him. I blamed myself for missing out on those five yea
