Multiple days and a month passed.....Nothing between them changed, rather they became more distant. His all efforts to gain her heart were in vain as she was determined on leaving him after the birth. The doctor scheduled the date of delivery on their recent visit, and she started preparing herself for the next phase. He didn't revealed anything to her, yet tried to take care of her secretly. He instructed Amber to watch over her diet and medications. No doubt he was being selfish, but there was no other way to get out of this situation. He didn't go on anymore dates after his quarrel with Joseph. The thought of marriage faded away, and now his only focus was on the upcoming baby. Although doctor tried to reveal the gender to him but he refused. He was somehow disappointed with himself for making Ruby reach such circumstances, so he didn't wanted to exaggerate his happiness by knowing the gender and ignoring her. He wanted it to be a surprise revealed to them at the same time aft
As soon Amber went inside, she found the bed empty. There was no one to be seen or any sound to be heard. She checked the bathroom in case although she knew that she couldn't walk to bathroom herself. But there was no sign of her. She hurried to the reception to ask the nurse. "Where is the patient? Why the room is empty? In case have you shifted her to somewhere?" She kept on going with questions all at once. "Which patient miss?" The nurse asked her politely. "The one in the labour room who just gave birth to a baby boy, named Ruby!" She told her the details hurriedly. "Oh she was just in the labour room after we dressed her up. We haven't shifted her anywhere" she explained. "But there is no one! The bed is empty. Where is she?" She panicked. "Miss let me check, she was there when we left" the nurse walked in the direction of the labour room with her. She checked herself but the room was still empty. The nurse was froze to cold shivers as she knew it was a critical situati
He sat down on the lonely bench in his garden, under the large banyan tree where once Ruby used to sit. The breeze blew lightly, making his strands of hair move here and there, tickling his forehead. The night was cold, light horn noises of vehicles could be heard from afar. He took a large puff on his cigarette as he looked up in the sterling sky, shining with stars. He didn't named his son yet, he didn't know what to name him, he never thought that it would be a son. The baby laid quietly and slept through the night peacefully in his cot, while Amber laid beside him. What a time it was, for the little child, new born without his mother, but under a shadow of cold hearted father who loved him dearly yet couldn't convey his feelings in a acceptable way. His mother who left him for eternity because she couldn't accept him as her child, after his father committed a sin. His life was going to be a long journey, a desirable face he inherited from Dawson. He still couldn't figure out
Life continued as she started teaching the younger girls at dorm. Sister Amelia hired as a teacher for them and she not only get paid but well enough to live alone. Ruby also started going to church regularly as she said her prayers every day so god would listen to her pleas and reward her with what she desired. It was a casual day, after taking classes in the dorm, she was on her way to the church. It was late evening when the sun was about to go down and let the gleaming moon take over the sky. It had been two months since, she felt a tinge at her heart everytime without her baby whenever it came to her mind. She wanted to see him, hug him and kiss him. She wanted to feel the pleasure of holding her own child in her hands after she gave up on him. She knew he was going to hate her after he'll grow up. He will hate her alot for leaving him so soon. But she had no choice, either to live with his toxic father or give up on him. She had to make a choice, so she did....She was walkin
Sister Amelia arranged an old room for Smith. Ruby accompanied him to the room and asked him for something else he might need. "I'll only need a charger for my phone" he explained. "You better give me your phone to get charge because only sister Amelia has a charger and I think it will not be convenient for her to lend you" she reasoned. He willingly gave his phone to her and get on the bed. She waved good night to him and left the room. She put the phone on charging in sister Amelia's office and went back to her own room after informing Amelia. As soon she laid down on the mattress and turned off the light, she tried to sleep. But the sleep couldn't engulf her in it's depth. After recalling all the pitiful, bitter memories it seemed like everything was freshened again. Her mind started to work speedily as if she was going through some heartbreak again. She missed her parents and most of her child. Her son. Surprising was that, she missed Dawson. The moments they spent together
She woke up to the noise of chirping birds and girls laughter. The dawn broke and sun rays were already trespassing the thick clouds. She immediately sat right up, and then got down from the bed. After giving herself a good cleaning, she was all ready for the breakfast. She got out of the room but before she could have her own breakfast, she realized that she had a guest there too. So she changed her direction and went to his room. Mr Smith was already awake, sitting upright straight in his bed like some real professional business man, working on his phone. "Good morning" she greeted first and stood in the doorway. "Morning, Ruby" he looked up in her direction with a smile. "So you got your phone back?" She commented, noticing that last night she put it in sister Amelia's office. "Yeah, before you, Sister Amelia came here to check up on me. And I only requested her for my phone." He explained. "What about the breakfast? Are you not hungry?" She asked him. "Ofcourse I am, it
As soon he was done with his breakfast, he waited in the garden for her. He wanted to see before leaving. Maybe exchange numbers to stay in contact. He couldn't believe she was all grown up into such a fine woman. She was prettier than ever. Something about her very attractive and captivating. He wanted to be close to her, if not in a romantic way. She was passing through the corridor, on her way to his room when she saw him roaming in the garden while looking at the white ducks. "I thought you were gone" she walked towards him. "I wanted to say goodbye before leaving, I wanted to see you" he replied, looking straight in her eyes. "Well, okay" she was moved. "But before that, I want to stay in contact with you. Can I have your number? It's like I want to help you. If you need a job, or a place to live or anything at any time, just give me a call. I'll be there to help you anytime" he went on. "Sure, it would be great. But I don't think I can get a job with no degree. I really
"don't worry too much, it's just a mild fever. I'll write down medicines, just give him syrups, he will be alright in a week" the female doctor explained to him politely while holding Simon in her arms. "Thankyou doctor" he took Simon as she forwarded him. He came home after a restless night. Simon was asleep by then in Amber's arms. Amber took him to his baby cot and laid him there. While he went back to his room to get some rest. Raising a child was not easy, he never thought that he would have to raise one without a mother. He was eating his breakfast while Amber served him. He had been utterly quite at tables since Ruby went away. He only talked specifically when he needed to. "I want to say something, if you don't mind" Amber sat down on one of the chairs beside him. "What is it?" She looked very concerned, and he was sure that there was something important. "I want you to look for Simon's mother" she talked slowly. He looked at her with a different kind of gaze which hel
