“Grandma, I am going to the field”Zara braided her hair and put it into a bun. She took her shoes and gloves before walking out.“Careful buttercup and grandpa will come to get you back”Dorothy came to the door seeing her off. Samuel went to the city before dawn to bring fish and meat for the organizer. He told Dorothy he would come back in four hours and then will bring Zara from the field after seeing the organizer.“See you soon Dory”Zara nick named Dorothy as Dory. She would sometimes call her Dory and Samuel as Sam. The old couple were very happy to be called like that The field is fifteen minutes walk from the house. The other girls of her age would join her in the way. She made few friends in the village.They all would walk to their fields early morning at four thirty and then comeback at ten. The first one hour will be harvesting time. They would load the trucks before six and send them to the cities. The markets will be open at eight and the trucks would reach bef
“Enough with your sulking drama queen. Come out. It’s time to leave”Samuel put on his new clothes and sprinkled flower scented powder on him. Dorothy admired her husband’s handsomeness. Samuel winked at her making her blush and knocked on Zara’s door. They got no response. Samuel sighed and knocked again “You win. I bought the fish for you alone. The organizer don’t like the fish”The door burst open revealing Zara’s gloating face. She folded her arms and lifted her head high in the air proudly.“That’s more like it old man. Don’t you dare snatch my fish away from me again. I’ll kill you both and steal your property”Samuel and Dorothy laughed and twisted her ears making her scream.“You devil. How dare you?”“Ahh!! It’s hurting”They left her and she rubbed her ears with flushed face. She glared at both of them and went to the kitchen to smell the fish curry. She licked her lips rubbing her palms and opened the lid watering her mouth with the smell and texture.She took a
“Poison” Buck knocked on the door with a dinner plate and called Poison. He heard no response. He entered the room and saw Poison sleeping. He placed the plate on the night stand and stroked Poison’s cheeks. He lost lot of weight for the past few months to be exact after kitten left him. He stopped eating food and only eats when he persuades him. He knew Kitten would be threat to Poison. He also knew she isn’t trust worthy and will never choose Poison after getting rid of Zara. Poison stirred and opened his eyes. After seeing Buck he closed his eyes again “Eat something” Buck continued to stroke his cheek and smiled. At least he is not rejecting his touch. “I am not hungry” “But I am hungry” Poison frowned and sat up slowly. The dark circles under his eyes were evident of his lack of sleep and food. “I told you not to wait for me” “And I told you I’ll not eat before you” Buck took the plate and started feeding Poison. Poison ate like a good boy and then stared at Buck who i
“I am sorry grandma”Zara massaged Dorothy’s feet with the essential oil. She felt guilty as Dorothy’s feet swelled because of her. She worked in the field for three days to protect her from him. “Why are you apologizing buttercup? I am happy to work with my old man. You gave me a chance to be with him more”Zara smiled kissing Dorothy’s hand and continued to work. She knew Dorothy is trying to cheer her but she is not happy with Dorothy working on behalf of her.“I’ll work from tomorrow and that’s final”Zara declared after lunch. The old couple shared a look and waited for Zara to continue.“I know what you are thinking. I’m not stupid to risk facing him. I’ll go to the field in the midnight and work as much as I can. The next morning you can do the remaining work”They rolled their eyes and continued to play chess. Zara stood up and messed the chess board angrily.“I decided and no more negotiations”She went to her bedroom and took a nap as she had work to do at midnight
“Boss! We are here” Peter got down the car and opened Sebastian’s door. Sebastian put on his goggles and entered the party hall. Today is Susan’s birthday and he got the invitation from her as soon as he returned from his trip. He took the gift box and walked in with an expressionless face followed by Peter. Susan stood in the middle of the crowd glowing like an angel with her cute dimples on display. She put on a light pink princess dress with diamond jewellery. She had crown on her head given by her father who is now busy with the guests. Susan rushed to Sebastian as soon as she spotted him. Sebastian removed his glasses and smiled at her which seemed very odd to Susan. He never displayed such bright smile since Zara died. What happened to him? “Happy Birthday Susan” He handed her the gift box which Susan took with a red face shyly and thanked him. She removed the wrapping and opened the box to see a beautiful painting. Her smile faded but she covered it immediately. She expe
“Thanks for everything Liam. I appreciate your help” Zara thanked Liam in the car outside her apartment which she rented a week ago. Liam turned off the engine and held Zara’s hand. “I don’t know what’s going on between you two but I am happy you thought of me when you needed help. You can think of me as your home baby. I got your back. Don’t ever pull stunts like you did last time” Zara nodded and hugged him before getting down and waved at him. She watched his car disappear from her sight and sighed. She’s glad to have a friend like Liam. She opened her door and heard baby’s cry. She kicked her heels and ran to her bedroom hurriedly. Paula sat on the bed angrily cleaning the mess created by Zachary while fifteen months old Zachary was tied to the headboard wailing hysterically “What the hell Paula Adams?” Zara rescued the damsel in distress and glared at Paula. Zachary hugged Zara and pointed at his mother as if complaining about her to Zara. “I will kick both of you if you o
The next morning of Sebastian forcing Zara in the field. He woke up to the gasps and murmurs around him. He rubbed his eyes and sat up holding his pounding head. What happened? He saw people surrounding him whispering among them. He then remembered having a very stressful dream. He forced himself on his Sunshine which felt so real. He felt her for real this time. “Are you alright Mr. Wild?” One of the men spoke in concern. When they came to work in the fields this morning they saw Sebastian sleeping in Samuel’s field. The torch light is blinking beside him with tools and gloves spread around him. “I am fine. I just drank the whiskey you offered me. I apologize for the inconvenience” Sebastian stood up patting the dirt from his clothes and spotted the mess on the ground. He was stunned and bent down to take the gloves and torch light. He remembered the torch which led him here in the dream and the gloves he ripped from her hands. No way! Did he harm someone from the village? But
“Tell me Sunshine. Do you think I’m unworthy?” Zara turned her face away and sat up slowly untangling herself from his body. She felt slight pain in her lower region and blamed him for everything. She turned her back to him and put her legs down slowly to get down the bed but Sebastian hugged her from behind. He buried his face into her neck smelling her fragrance. God! He missed her so much. Only God knows how many days he spent in anguish because of her absence. “Please, talk to me. Why are you silent? Ask me anything, let your thoughts out” Sebastian couldn’t stay still when she is closing herself up. It’s as if they returned to those days where she rejected him countless times without telling him about her father. He’s not ready to experience that again. “I told you to wait for me, didn’t I? I told you I’ll fight for you, for us. Why did you leave me?” Zara still refused to open her mouth. She didn’t know how to answer him or respond to him. His hands tightened around her tr
“Say something”Zara rested her chin on his chest and looked at him with her cute pout. Sebastian chuckled and sat up leaning on the headboard bringing Zara with him and put her on his lap.He wrapped his left hand around her waist and placed his right hand on her baby bump with gentle smile.“What can I say Sunshine? I am so happy and you are the reason for my happiness”He kissed her nose making her giggle.“Why did you hide from me?”Zara scratched his chin and looked at him mischievously “I wanted to surprise you”Sebastian nuzzled her neck with his nose and bit her cheek lightly.“Who knows about this?”“Grandma”“Wait! You knew it for a long time right. That’s why you rejected having sex with me”Zara nodded her head proudly like she did a great work. Sebastian kissed her lips grunting. He now understood why he felt her belly back then. “Stop it Beast!”Zara punched his chest and glared at him.“I felt dizzy in the village and grandma thought I am pregnant. I sk
The seagulls started squealing in the sky above the sea and the waves added music to their squeals. The Sun peeked from behind the clouds shyly to witness the most romantic wedding at the shore. The soothing music from violin and piano mesmerised the guests sitting on the chairs fascinated by the grand décor. The paparazzi stood aside waiting for the main protagonists.Sebastian never revealed about Zara to the public and he was so protective of her. He used this opportunity to announce that he was taken by a woman many years ago. He wanted the world to witness him marrying the love of his life.Zara was so against his decision at first but soon agreed because she didn’t want to hide anymore. She wanted to stand proudly beside her man and ready to face his world together with him.The whole world shook with the news of his wedding. It’s Michael who announced the news to the media few days ago about his son’s wedding.No one knows about the mysterious bride. Everyone thought Susa
“Wow..”The girls squealed looking at the venue from a far from the resort. All boys stayed at the other wing while girls chose the side close to the beach.Zara didn’t see the decoration because she wanted to see the whole venue on the wedding day. Just three more days, no one can separate her from her Bash.“Put this on”Stella threw a black sexy sleeveless mini dress at Zara for Bachelorette party. Zara shook her head and went for a floral long frock to cover her bump.“This is your party Zara. You should enjoy it”“I know, I just don’t like that dress”“Buzzkill”All others dressed sexily including Jenna, she wore a sleeveless midi dress with a slit. The kids were taken care by the elders. They all went to the party room and Lillian as naughty as she was called few young boys for the party and started dancing. Everyone started shouting and drank a lot.Zara stood aside watching them in amusement. Isn’t this her party? Anyway she’s not in the mood to drink and also it’s
“Hey lazy pig, wake up”Paula patted Zara’s cheeks who is sleeping in the trial room without trying the wedding dress.“Darling please”Zara waved her hands and continued to sleep sitting on the chair. She wasted all her time talking to that beast last night. Even though she only talked for two hours she is feeling so sleepy. “Are you alright Zara? You are sleeping a lot these days”They rented an apartment in the city. Andrew and Meredith stayed with Zara in that apartment so that they can easily travel to wedding venue for the arrangements. It's been two weeks since they moved in to the apartment. Paula and Jenna came yesterday to help Zara with wedding dress after settling their kids with their husbands.“I am fine. I talked to Bash last night”Zara stood up and stretched her body lazily. She didn’t want them to doubt her condition so she forced herself to stand up and tried the wedding dress with the help of the assistants in the store.Paula and Jenna waited outside ch
“Finally!”Sebastian hugged Zara from behind when she was applying lotion on her body in front of the mirror. She chuckled and patted his cheek smearing little bit of lotion on his face.“What was that for Bash?”Sebastian nuzzled her cheek inhaling her smell greedily.“I couldn’t hug you properly in the village with everyone around you”They returned back yesterday after spending a week in the village. She was so tired from the journey so she slept as soon as she came back to the mansion. Today he went to the office even before she woke up to finish his pending work as early as possible.The wedding is five weeks later and his mother strictly warned him to send Zara with her parents after a week because it’s not good for the bride and groom to see each other prior to the wedding.He argued with his parents and Zara’s parents but finally agreed when they told him it’s best for their future. He only had a week to have her in his arms.Zara sighed and done with her body care. Sh
“How about we celebrate with this?”She waved the wine bottle at him. Sebastian could never say no to his favourite wine. He filled the glasses with the wine and gave one to Zara. Zara sat on his study chair and wanted to take a sip but Sebastian snatched her glass. “What happened?”She pouted like a kid looking at the wine glass he just snatched. She is not fan of drinking but Sebastian loves wine a lot. She wanted to get used to it because she thought to be his drink buddy.Sebastian took a sip and bent down crashing his lips on her. He then poured the wine into her mouth.“How’s it?”Zara was bewitched by his smiling face. She forgot about the wine she just drank. The beastly Sebastian would never miss a chance to make love to his Sunshine. He didn’t wake Zara from her trance and started kissing her hungrily picking her up from the chair. He placed her on the desk removing her clothes one by one. The study room was a mess for the next few minutes. After all the hardshi
Sebastian attended a lot of auctions with his father over the years. Which one is she talking about?“The one in which you gave your favourite painting to a little girl”Sebastian thought hard to remember the incident and then it triggered him. He liked to decorate his room with lot of portraits. Now he filled his room with Zara’s photos. Before it used to be his pictures. But when he was a child he put lot of paintings in his room. He thought to add one more beside his nightstand so he bought the painting but a girl who was same age as him came to him and pleaded him to give that painting to her.He didn’t even spare her a glance because he was in a hurry to leave for his guitar class. He couldn’t tolerate her nagging so he gave that painting to her and left the place as fast as he could.“That girl is Susan. She thought you sacrificed your favourite thing for her”Sebastian scoffed shaking his head in disbelief. That was not his favourite painting and if he had known that pai
“Mom, did you see Bash?”Meredith and Esther chose to stay in hospital with Zara to take care of her. Michael invited Andrew to his house as they wanted to discuss about their kids wedding. Paula and Jenna returned to the hotel to put their kids to sleep. She saw all her family and friends even LTW who glared at her all the time. They warned her to meet them after recovery and she knew they will kill her then.She didn’t see her man at all. She remembered seeing him before losing her consciousness. Is he injured? But Michael and Esther wouldn’t be smiling if something happened to him.Then where the hell is he? Why is he not coming to see her? She woke up in the afternoon and waited for him for hours. It’s night and she’s feeling tired. Her eyelids were heavy and she badly wanted to sleep.Meredith and Esther shared a look contemplating about what to say. They were confused about Sebastian’s behaviour. He’s with Zara all the time before she woke up. After that he didn’t step int
“How is she?”Simon asked Sebastian who stood in the corridor outside Zara’s room. Her family and Paula including his parents guarded her. “She’s fine”“Are you blaming yourself?”Sebastian lowered his head and sat on the chair deep in thoughts. It’s not him who saved Zara. It’s Medusa. What if she still loved Susan? What if she killed Zara right there? “Sebastian you didn’t attack Poison because she didn’t harm Zara. Your impulse would’ve killed Medusa if she really did something to Zara. Don’t blame yourself”Sebastian still felt he didn’t deserve to be with Zara as he couldn’t protect her. Paula came out and told them that Zara woke up. He informed the doctors and they did a thorough check up on her.Zara didn’t see Sebastian when she woke up. She was a bit disappointed but then thought he was busy. Her family and Sebastian’s family took care of her for the whole day.Nicholas visited her this afternoon with baby Kim and Mary. The adorable Kimberly talked to her with her
