CH:5 Another Shock

*Leila p.o.v

It's been a week. I can not believe that I am still fine and I am taking breaths. I thought my life would be ended after the death of my parents. I was feeling like all the things in the world stopped... But I was wrong, everything was as normal as it was before; nothing stopped and nothing changed.

Yes, the people, I loved the most left me. The space they left in my heart would never be filled by anyone or any means... My brother was taking care of me. But he also has to left for work. Cara was beginning so str age with me. She doesn't talk to me. She gave me food in my room but she never said any kind words to me. Yes, I confine myself in my room but it was not working for me.

AND I don't know for how long I would cage myself in my room!!! I cried and cried for hours but I got nothing... My mind starts accepting the fact that my parents will not come back. I have to admit this fact.

It is difficult to say but I have to move on... I have to get back to go to college. I have to start living a normal life again, although I don't think my life would be normal again. But, I will try. I will try to get back the hold of my broken self.

I don't want my parents to be sad because of me, I don't want them to see their daughter crying. I will be strong.

I took a deep breath inhaling the air in my lungs. I thought to go talk to my brother, I want to tell him that I will be joining the college from tomorrow, I think he will encourage me.

I look in my room, it looks more empty than before, our house gave a feeling of emptiness without any hope of joy. I get up from the bed then tied my loose hairs in a bun. I look at myself in the mirror. Is it me? I sighed! The dark circles under my eyes were proof that I cried for hours... My colour looks pale. I smiled sadly looking at my selection, I felt my eyes burning with tears.

No, I have to be strong. I wiped the tears then move out of my room.

I went towards my brother room to share my little courageous deed with him, I was close and I was going to open the door. But I stopped when I heard my sister in law.

"I can not wait for more... I am asking you for one last time. Would you go with me or stay here with your sister?" She said. AND I was frozen in my place. My feet stuck on the ground.

"Cara, listen to me." I heard my brother voice.

"I am listening to you for year's now... Firstly you didn't want to go with me because of your parents. But now, they are dead. I thought we will be leaving the country that's why I gave you the surprise with these plane tickets..." I heard her shouting. I felt like all the blood in my body drained. I was feeling shaky. But I didn't dare to go inside their room.

"Cara, I told you always I never wanted to leave my home or country. I know my parents died but here is my job. My little sister, I can not leave her here." I felt a little relieved hearing my brother, I never thought Cara would say something like this, she was so sweet. I thought she liked our family but I was unaware that she never wanted to live with us...

It was a shock and I was feeling all my senses heightened to hear. What will she say next?

"Danny, you dont have to worry about your job. My father will give me a position in his company. Leila is not a child anymore, she can live here alone. She is an adult now... I dont want any more argument. You are coming with me or I am leaving you." I heard the warning in her tone.

I know my brother loves Cara so much, he can not live without her. But I wanted him to convince her to stay with us. Only thinking about living her alone was making me shiver.

"What? Are you serious? Cara, you will leave me?" I heard a shock and hurt in his voice.

"But you are pregnant. You can not do this with me." My brother said. I felt as someone pours a bucket of cold water above my head. She is pregnant!

"Danny, I have waited long enough. I am giving you one chance, you have to decide and choose between me, your child and your sister." Cara said. I heard my heart shatter in pieces. The sharp shreds that were hurting my chest, I can feel the pain burning my chest.

"Cara, my sister loves you so much and she respects you. What will she think about you? How will she live here alone? I haven't told her anything, she is still in the trauma of our parent's." I heard the low volume of my brother, I know what will happen now! He doesn't have any choice. I can not be so selfish as to halt him here and leave his family.

"I don't care what she thinks about me... I am thinking about my future with you. If you are choosing me then go and tell her everything. So, we can leave in three days..." I put a hand over my mouth to stop the loud sob. The tears came out of my eyes, I was feeling the warmth of salty water on my cheeks.

Did it just happened? Or I am watching a nightmare? Please, I want to open my eye and come out of this bad dream. I pinched my hand so hard but nothing happened. I was standing outside their door. The scenery was the same...

I haven't heard anything more, I think I wouldn't be able to tolerate any more of this, I ran back into my room.

I know what will happen now, my brother will come into my room. I know what will he say... But I have to gear him. I have to let him go and live his life. I will live here. I can not go with them, I am an adult. I can handle myself...

*Third person p.o.v

Damien wakes up from a deep sleep when he heard his phone ringing. He picked up the call. It was from one of his workers.

"Good morning, Sir. I am Jimmy." He said. Damien yawned then nodded his head. He hummed.

"Good morning Jimmy. Why did you call so early?" He asked. Damien sat on his bed.

"Sir, it is about the cafe opening in the residential area of Dawn Street? You told me to look for a plot." Jimmy said.

"Yes, but there were only houses. No land was empty. So, what about it?" Damien asked in his sleepy voice.

"Sir, there is a house for sale in the same area. It is very rare if people sell their house there. If you say I can go and talk to the owner. So, we can buy it." Jimmy questioned him.

"Ugh, okay. Jimmy, go talk to the owner then inform me about it. If they will agree we will buy the land for the cafe." Damien said. Jimmy nodded his head then he cut off the call.

It's Sunday, so Damien can get a little rest. He saw the clock, 9:45 am. Okay, he will sleep for a few hours... Daniel told him to go for a match of soccer.

I will think about it. Damien thought then laid on his bed lazily...
