The next day he woke up to an empty bed. He looked around the room, but she was nowhere to be seen. He checked his phone and it was already 08:00am in the morning. He immediately got off the bed and got ready for his office. Just as he was about to go downstairs, a reminder popped up on his phone screen. "Blind date" He read. As he looked up, Ruby stood there watching him as she passed across the hall. Their eyes met for a brief moment, unable to look way, he kept staring her until she moved her eyes away and went back to her room. Was he really doing justice to her?Going on a blind date while she was pregnant, it was a very poor thing to do. But obviously she rejected him last night, denying his feelings. And she was very clear, after she averted her face, shattering his ego into pieces. Who was he to her?And what was she to him? They both couldn't name it yet, but everything was there in their heart, deep inside. Just denying it until they can, avoiding it for eternity, ch
"what with this sudden urge to go with me?" He asked her in a stiff voice as he hauled near her, taking off his glasses which enchanted her more than she already was. "I guess you've forgot that this human inside me majorly belongs to you and you have some responsibilities" her words were quite clear for him which he didn't liked. "I know that but it's not necessary to show off your pregnancy to all the world and declare me as it's father to all the people" his words sounded quite violent. "Great, what's the deal then? I will go with Amber right away and abort him. And even if it can't be aborted I'll get it delivered out of me. Because I won't give birth to such a child who's father is ashamed to accept him in front of the world even before his birth" she stood up, picking up her dress with her hands so she don't fall. He grabbed her by her arm as she was about to away. "Are you for real?" He asked, looking at her closely. She didn't averted her eyes away, because this was the
Soon they returned back to home but it was late at night. Instead of going back to his own room, he came with her inside her room. "Are you following me?" She asked suspiciously. "No I am just going to sleep with you today" he came closer towards her as they both stood in the doorway. "You can imagine what you want, but it's not happening. So go back to your room and let me sleep" she didn't care if he liked it or not, but she didn't wanted to indulge in this relationship anymore. "You know what Ruby...." He moved closer and closer the door behind them. Making her stumble over her steps. "....you also know that you can't resist me" he whispered against her ear, his voice full of seductiveness as his hot breath fanned over her sensitive skin. She couldn't utter a word anymore as if he cast a spell on her. "Don't Mr Dawson" she barely whispered when he nuzzled into her neck and peppered wet kisses on the curve which ended at her shoulder."You sure?" he asked again against her s
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
