Author's POV"You changed your decision? But why?" Ella stared at her daughter with doubt and a confused look."Mom, I just don't feel like I want to go for now. Let's talk about it after your marriage." Eva explained."Alright, as you want." Ella warmly smiles, and in return, so does Eva. Mark, who was hearing all this conversation from far from his room, silently walked out like he did not hear anything."What are mother and daughter talking about in my absence." Mark approached the seat beside Ella. Eva avoids eye contact with him. "Oh, Mark! Eva wanted more time to consider her decision to go abroad.""Is that so?" He glanced at Eva's side, but all she trying to do was avoid him."What do you think about it?" Ella asked."I think it's her life. She is an adult. Let her choose." His words made Ella nod in agreement, "Yes, you are right." Eva stood from the couch the next moment, "Mom, I need to leave. My friends were waiting for me. We planned to go watch the movie." "Okay, h
Eva's POVI don't remember how I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I found Mom entering my room with lemon water in her hand."Good morning, sweetheart." She warmly greeted me as she placed the lemon water on the table beside the bed."Good morning, Mom." Removing the blanket, I sat back while a headache continued."This is lemon water. It will help you with your headache." "Thanks, Mom, but how do you know? I need that." I doubt Mark told Mom about that, but the next moment, Mom's reply got me wrong, "Mark informed me this morning when I asked when you were back." I see, he told her."Yeah, My evil friends made me drink a little bit." I sarcastically answered, which caught my Mom's laugh, "I guess so.""But I'm glad you're back home rightly." "Yesterday, I wanted to stay awake until you got back, but Mark told me he needed to do some work so he could open the door for you. So, only then, I fall back to sleep." "Yeah, my friends dropped me back, so I got no worry to back." "Alrigh
Eva’s POVThe next day, Mark and Mom went to the court and filled out the form to get registered for next month on the same date. On the other side, I decided to choose the same date to go abroad without telling anyone. I booked my ticket and felt quivering. I know my decision hurt Mark, but I also don’t feel happy about it. I’m also equally hurt here. Whenever I see Mom and him together, I feel betrayed when I know my feelings are the wrong ones here. I’m the third person in their relationship. I don’t have the right to be sad about something like this, and whenever this bitter thought crossed my mind, I could not help but feel heartbreaking about it. I feel I’m not different from my ex. I had done the same thing as them. I betrayed someone whom I see as my world ‘Mom’.Mom is an innocent one here who did not do anything to get hurt by her daughter and her boyfriend. How could I make one more big mistake to hold my love and break her heart in exchange? “Hey, are you okay?” Nish
Eva’s POV“Oh, come on, Eva!""You are leaving the city in the last two days. Still, how could you not discuss these things with your Mom until now?” I could sense the rage below her words when she yelled at me. “I know! I know! you are worried about Mark’s strong warning to tell your Mom everything, but now it has been over a month, and he did not tell anything to your Mom, and most importantly, he did not reach you or try to talk to you again. can't you understand what it could mean?"Her words made me feel lost at this moment."Eva, He is going out with your mother and planning his future in which you do not exist anymore. Do you understand?” " You should also stop caring about your past things and just talk about the real thing with your Mom. "He is moving on from you, as you wish. So, you should also stop dwelling on your past and start talking about the present. You should tell your mother about your leaving. She is your mother and deserves to know what you are up to! " The
Mark’s POVIt has been over a month since I last talked, Eva. It’s genuinely my toughest decision to ignore her, but she doesn’t want to go against her Mom. She loves her Mom, and I can see that. Her tears and red eyes did not hide from me, and I finally decided to respect them. If she would be happy to watch me with her Mom. I’ll do that without any longer making things hard for her.If this makes her stay beside me, I’ll do that. I can stay with Ella for her wish. I just hope she doesn’t go. However, the way she started to live with her friend to avoid me and the house, I began to regret my choice of words to stop her. I should not use ‘Ella’ to stop her at that heated moment, but she left me no choice.“Boss, it's almost time to leave.” My manager announced when I was in the middle of war inside of my mind. I don’t know if I can do this marriage or not. If Eva would stay or not.“Boss, are you okay?” When I did not answer him, he asked in doubt.“Yeah, I’m alright. Let’s leave.”
Eva's POV"Are you okay?" "Do you want me to come?" While packing all my luggage in the suitcase, Nish's voice came from the other side of the phone as it was on the loudspeaker."Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." I respond in assurance."Hmm." She hmmed and said with an upset tone, "So, you are finally leaving tomorrow."I paused momentarily before responding, "Yeah, I guess so."I thought, after Mark knew I was leaving, he will do an argument with me, but to my surprise, he did not say anything. Now, I feel I need to apologise to him for all my actions and words. At least before saying goodbye, I need to thank him, to decide, stay with my Mom. He could leave without owing anything if he wanted, but he did not. He chooses to stay."Hey Eva, our friends want to come airport tomorrow to bid you farewell." Nish's words made me instantly stop packing and pick up the call, changing its mode from loudspeaker to normal."Nish, I have a request." I instantly replied." Request? For what?" Her
Eva's POVIt's almost going to be 3 pm, and all I can do turning over my bed with discomfort heart. I also almost cried thinking about Mark and my memorable moment in this room. I know crying will not change anything any longer, but I wish to see him last time alone and ask for forgiveness. I just want to simply apologise to him for rejecting the love he offered me for my selfishness. I don't want to see hate in his eyes when I leave. I don't want to face the cold shoulder even when this is my last time to see him. Though I'm scared to face him right now, my heart wants to go and say my last words to him. I feel so helpless at this moment because my heart still desires him, and if, any chance, he requests me any more time to stay, I don't think I can say 'No' to him even after being headstrong. And something like that, I don't want to happen. I don't want to divert my mind from the main motive. So, I can only imagine my dream of facing him for now. Staying in bed made me feel more
