Janelle.

I swiped my phone up immediately and placed a call across to Adil, I placed the phone on my ear waiting impatiently for him to pick up as the phone rang, the call ended without him picking up and I dialed again, didn’t he just text me now?! Why is he not answering to his calls!

He picked just when the ringing was about to end,

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I placed my phone on silent,” he said, I exhaled imaudibly as I dropped what I initially had to say,

“Did you speak to her?! What did she say?!” I asked immediately referring to the text he sent to me.

“I spoke to her, but she refused to say a word to me, she tried to avoid me, she was saying stuff like she didn’t know who I was” he said to me, I slowly placed my hands on my waist as I turned to look out the window,

    Janelle.I swallowed hard taking my gaze off him, his gaze was getting pretty intense and awkward, I cleared my throat noisily, he flinched lightly and cleared his throat also.He adjusted in his chair and waved to the bar tender to bring something for us,“What would you like?!” He asked turning back to face me,“Water, water is just fine,” I nodded calmly and he ordered a bottle of wine for himself also, “How are you doing?!” He asked as the bartender dropped our orders on the table, I sighed deeply as I opened the cap of the water and poured it inside a cup, I gently took a sip, the water was very cold and it hit the right spot,“Coping,”“I’m coping,” I replied, he reached out across the table and held my hands, I slowly looked down at his grip on my hand and looked back up at him, “You said we’re friends right? You can always reach out to me and talk to me when things get tough, I’ll always be here,” he said, I nodded slowly as I gently removed my hands from underneath his and

    Janelle“Janelle,” Shit! Shit! Shit!, I turned towards my parent immediately dragging my feet on the floor carefully to avoid making noise with my heels, I spread my hands out to the both of them immediately and pushed them back into the room, I shut the door quietly and pushed them to the small adjoining room in the room, my mom wanted to say something, I raised my hand to her lips and shushed her quiet immediately, I suddenly heard the door open and I gently pushed them down again, I opened the door slightly and peeped out, I watched him as he walked in and looked around, his hands in his pocket. He gently took out his phone and placed it in his ear, “Has Janelle’s mother been discharged ?!” He asked to whoever he was on the phone, “Ohh I see,” he replied to whatever the person said, and he ended the call as he took one more glance around the room, he suddenly turned to look towards the door, I held my breath immediately, the door was slightly open and I could not just close it,

    Janelle.Next day, At the office. I sighed countlessly times as I scrolled away on my laptop, Enzo words yesterday kept baffling me and I really just wanted to look into him, I couldn’t find anything asides the fact that he was the Carter’s family second son but I knew it wasn’t that, Atleast for one, Becky wasn’t his mother.And according to what Adil told me, Becky wasn’t married to his father not until Becky came up to say she had his son.If she really had his son, why is Enzo seating by the side of an almost lifeless woman and calling her mom and even saying very soon they’ll be happy together?! I don’t know but he seemed glad that I was suspecting Becky, I kept digging deeper into his background but I wasn’t getting anything, I decided to change my angle, I decided to look into Becky’s financial account to as far back as possible, I got to work immediately, I needed to build up a secure network to dig into something as secure and private as that, I’ve already given Chad a lot o

    Janelle.“I-it’s really not what you think,” I stuttered, my hands still stretched out to her, I began to take slow unsteady steps towards her but she stepped back immediately, “What do you know that I’m thinking,” she asked, her voice coming out low and smooth, I stopped walking towards her and I shook my head slowly,“I know you must have watched the video and I must irritate you now,”“But please Bella understand me, I did what I thought was right, I did what I had to do, he’s my husband,”“Adil is innocent, I know it in my heart and in a matter of days I’ll prove it to you, just give me one week, if I don’t, you can do as you choose,” I pleaded but she just stood still staring at me, as she slowly retrieved the flash and placed it in her pocket, “Please, they lied, Adil is not his boss, I’m still trying to find out his intentions, I ..”“I know,”“Bella, don’t ..” I paused momentarily as I processed what she just said and I slowly looked up at her,“W-what?!

    One month Later.I sat by Adil’s bed with my hands folded across my chest, after all the bullets from Enzo he went into coma and it’s been four weeks.Four weeks of everyone of us praying and hoping that he would come awake, four weeks of me crying every night just because I could not bear to lose him just when everything is starting to look bright, I don’t know what I would do if he remains asleep for longer than this.I slowly reached out and placed my hands in his hair rubbing it slowly,“Adil please, it’s okay now, you’ve rested enough, come back to me please,” I whispered tears starting to fall off my eyes and I just let them fall freely.One month back, I got the shocker of my life, Diane was Enzo’s Sister?!

    Enzo.“Hello, you don’t have any other option,” I said and with that I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call.I exhaled deeply with a sigh as I turned to the corner where Tehilla sat playing with toys absolutely caught up in her own world, Too bad that she’s about to be caught up in the world her parent created.“Uncle Enzo,” she called and slowly turned to look at me, I dipped my phone in my pocket and turned to look at her with a small sneer at the corner of my lips.“What of Dada and Mama, when will they be here,” She asked, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I picked up my car keys, about to head out of the house, the door opened and Diane walked in, I paused in my tracks and slowly turned to look at her close the door behind her and walk in, after her outburst yesterday, I did not expect to see her here again so soon.She slowly walked in and looked around, her eyes went wide immediately she saw Tehilla in the room, she blinked rapidly and slowly turned to me.

She gently turned around and walked up to me.“You finally came to see your father,” she muttered, ignoring her, I dipped my hands into my bag and took out the paper I found yesterday.“Actually I came to see you both,” I replied in a whisper, Adil’s voice begging me to calm down and listen to whatever explanation they had ringing in my ears. I just could not fathom why he is still being calm and nice after everything they have put us through, I slowly looked up at her locked gazes with her and
