SARAH’S POV Ma'am, we are from India. I was once a supervisor at a garment firm. She is my wife, and she used to teach at the Catholic Primate School. We belong to a middle-class household and have been joyful with what we have. My mom passed away when I was young, and after my marriage, my father additionally had some fitness issues. So after that, it used to be simple for us and our little Parminder. One excellent day, we came to comprehend that there is an organization that sends people to America. That made us a little grasping due to the fact that anyone would wish for an exquisite future. We approached them and obtained the information. But we no longer have that much cash, so coming right here grew out of the question for us, and we once again went back to our routine. After a few months, they have once again approached us, stating they can nevertheless ship us right here, but no longer by way of aircraft but by ship. "He rubs his face, and the guilt rushes to their fa
"Miss Rose More" We looked up and noticed the human beings I in no way prefer to see in my life. My coronary heart started out beating speedily, searching for them, and I got up from my seat after signing Ivan to take Bella inside. "Sister Martha, how have you been?" I requested that they walk with a small smile; however, I am burning from the inside. "I am excellent, my child. How are you?" She spoke, examining me with a small smile. "Very well, thank you." I nodded to her and requested a seat. "Rose, as you already comprehend, that is why I am here." And I nodded. "Sister Martha, I am sorry I have made you wait for so long, but now I already have a solution for this problem." I started with a smile the moment a thought struck my mind, and I shared the same with her. "If you suppose that this is good for you and her, I don’t have any problem with that. But now that I have put her identity into the adoption listing, do it as soon as you can. Because now I cannot keep it anymore.
SARAH POV "Mommy, can we play, please? Daddy is saying he is sleepy." I looked to my side and saw Bella and Ivan walking toward me. Ivan did indeed look sleepy. And I felt bad for him. Sometimes I wonder why he works so much. He is always running here and there. I will be lying if I say Ivan is not marriage material. I know he has a liking for me, but I don’t know if I can reciprocate it. He is so easy to deal with. I wish I could feel the same, even a bit, for him. When I left Sean’s house, I took a bus and went to three different states, finally settling myself in Florida. I always like the weather here. After staying a few days at a cheap motel, I finally found shelter at Natalia’s house. I started living with her. She wanted to rent out her apartment. I started living my life in the basement. Her house was beautiful, and the basement I was staying in was really cute. Small and cozy. I guess I have some strong connections to basements. One day, while I was searching for
SARAH'S POV "Hey," I said while taking a seat next to him."Hi, finally you got free, hmm?" He asked with a small smile."Well, I was only free. It's just that I like to be with girls." I know he is hinting about girls and how I keep myself busy the whole day behind them. He is not wrong either, honestly. Sometimes I wonder why I never leave Bella at all. I guess I don't trust anyone when it comes to her, apart from Natalia."I know that, but there are so many people around here to take care of them. Why do you exhaust yourself?" He asked while turning toward me.I took the cup of coffee, which I knew was for me, and took a sip. Closing my eyes, I let the caffeine hit my nerves and calm a little tiredness, if I was feeling any."Ivan, she is my daughter, and I want to be around whenever she needs me," I said, while looking ahead at the dark flower field.Though he knows already, however, I don’t like to remind anyone or myself, as I don’t have anyone apart from her. And just the thoug
"No, you don’t. I deadpanned what I said. "I smile at people who are close to my heart. " I melted hearing this, as this is the first time, he has said something like this. Ivan is a man of few words. Over his phone, he also notices he is mostly in hmmm. But his actions speak louder than his words, which I don’t know about others but have noticed. He means no harm to anyone; it’s just that his persona is so rigid that he can’t do anything about it, I guess.I again lost myself looking at his feathers. He is boiling, and I don’t know why he doesn’t get into any relationships. I am sure he can get any girl on his knees."Is there something on my face, or is today the best day of life as Ms. Rose is gracing her undivided attention to me today?" He smirks when he notices me gawking at him. Well, I was lost in my thoughts, or else I had no interest in him. But again, it was embarrassing when he caught me red-handed. "Hmmm, I was looking outside the window." I made a lame excuse. "You
SARAH'S POV Mommy Bella ran to me the moment her eyes landed on me, and I hugged her tightly like a bundle of joy.Bella is surely my peace of mind, but my foggy thoughts because of old memories aren’t giving me any peace of mind.I somehow know what will give me that peace, though it’s fictitious. Still, it has some beautiful memories and alluring feelings I felt long ago. And whenever I see that, somehow my restless heart gets easier.Reaching back to the beach, I noticed the kids went back to their playing, and Simi and Parminder were having their me-time a little farther away from us. And that view added more fuel to my dismay.I averted my eyes to the other side, but someone was keeping close eyes on my move and caught me red-handed by saying, You know you can also have the same happiness for yourself, Sarah?" I looked to my right side after hearing this, and Ivan was looking at me with some unfamiliar emotion in his eyes, which did not go unnoticed by what he meant."Rose, my na
SARAH'S POV "You don’t want to move on. You have enjoyed the pain you get from your old memories." His words hit me hard this time.My sudden anger rose to hear him, and I gritted my teeth.His honest remark somehow touched my heart. I know for a fact that I don’t want to let those memories fade away. Not because I am loving this pain, but because those are the only best memories I had in my life before Bella entered. I am emotionally attached to them, and it’s true that I don’t want to forget that, not today or tomorrow.I might not cherish them, as they aren’t as sweet as sugar. However, those were the best ones.My First ManMy First KissMy First HouseMy First LoveMy First TouchEvery feeling that I felt for the first time, I cannot forget. I hate Sean, but I can’t hate the memories that are connected to him because those were the best ones I had until now.But how can I tell people what my exact reason is? Because they won’t think things through from my perspective, I prefer no
"Ms. Martha, I heard you are not keeping the proper paperwork regarding the kids we have under our shelter." This statement hurt her pride, and she was taken aback at hearing it. Till now, no one has accused her of anything, and today some unknown person is coming and blaming her for something she has not done. "Are you trying to accuse me of something, Sir? And if yes, then would you mind enlightening me a little?" She asked politely. Ms. Martha is a kind lady. Even though she knows you are insulting her, she will never lose her patience and cool down that easily. "I am afraid I am Ms. Martha." He said it with the same authority, and somehow Ms. Martha noticed he had come up with some sort of proof; hence, he was looking so confident about it. She instantly thought about what it could be, but her memory recalled nothing about which she needed to be concerned. "Then I would like to know, sir, what it is." She said this while folding her hands on the table. "I have gone through a
