Janelle.

Next day, Friday morning

“Look who is glowing differently this morning,” Bella teased as she pushed the door to my office open and walked in, I scoffed playfully rolling my eyes to the back of my head as I looked up from my laptop and reclined in my seat.

“So, Everything good?!” She asked, I nodded slowly in reply and she bursted out in a small excited scream,

“See, I told you!”

“So how do you feel?!” She asked, I slowly picked up my pen from the table and fiddled with the tip,

“Shockingly, I feel fantastic,”

“Well that’s because its love,”

“Yeah, I like him, but love I’m not too sure about that,” I replied, she rolled her eyes to the back of her head as she curved her lips downwards staring at me with a knowing look,

“Anyway,” she began as she set up her tablet on the table and sat up straight,

“Diane asked today how far we have gone,” she began, I sat up in my chair also as I urged her to go on.

But just know this thing you’re hiding from Janelle, it won’t pan out well!” He said his facial expression turning serious.“She doesn’t have to find out, I’m not going to tell her will you?!” I asked, he shrugged stepping away from me tab

    Janelle.5:30pm ….I pushed the door to my mother’s ward and walked in, I slowly walked towards the flower vase by the window, I took out the previous already withering flower and replaced it by the new ones I brought, I took a jar of water and filled it with it.With a deep exhale, I turned around and walked towards her bed.“Hi ma,” I whispered as I took my seat by her bed and pulled the chair closer to her bed, she looked like she was asleep, although her skin was still quite pale, but not as pale as before, doctors says she’s responding well to treatment and we should be expecting good news anytime soon.I slowly raised my hands to her hair and patted it gently, I made up my mind to not cry again whenever I visit, she wouldn’t want me to cry over her head, there was nothing to cry about, I’m very sure that was what she would say.“Remember our promise right?! You can’t leave me now,”“You should wake up now mom,” I whispered patting her hair gently, “If you can hear me, you prom

Just the both of you, talking over a cup of coffee? Sounds pretty much like a date to me!”“Relax, why are you being so annoyed about it, he just needs someone t

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.
