Days passed with things getting better and better with Sasha and Michael, no more ignoring of each other and they were more like a married couple than strangers and they both wished it will never end. Vanessa was surprised and happy when she talked with Sasha and found out how things were turning out for them, she didn't see that coming and her joy was unexplainable as she listened to all of Sasha's stories. Janet and the girls were also happy, they all believed that Sasha deserves a chance to be happy and with the man of her dreams.
Sasha ran down the stairs after Michael, she caught up to him getting into the car, "hey, I was wondering if you can come back a little early today?"Michael looked at her when he sat inside the car and Gary picked up his wheelchair to put inside the car trunk, "it's there a reason for that?""Yep, I want us to go for an evening stroll and then grab dinner before returning. How about that?""Okay" he replied.Sasha smiled, "good, have a gHours passed by without them knowing and it was only until their fingers started hurting as well as their backs and their tummies rumbling did they realize it was time for lunch. They both shut down their laptops and left the study room for the kitchen where they fixed a quick lunch for themselves.They sat in the living room after the lunch, each secretly enjoying the day off which they spends beside each other, oh, how they wish the moment will never end."So what game are we going to play?" Sasha asked."You choose.""Okay then" she sighed as she thought on what game to play, "how about Truth or Dare?" She suggested."Hmm, I have heard about the game, how does one play it?""What the hell, Michael!" She was shocked "didn't you go to parties in college? Didn't you play with friends?""I don't have friends and I never attended parties in college.""Then what did you do in college?""Attend lectures, go home, work, sleep, attend lectures the next day and r
The question was unexpected and Michael was silent for a while. Sasha held her breath as she waited for him to answer, her main reason of suggesting the game was because she wants to know what happened to the girl he loves, why they weren't together and she hoped he will answer.Michael let out a deep breath, "yes.""Oh, where is she?""She is married.""I see. Where you two ever together?"Michael bit his lower lips and sighed, "no.""What happened, she doesn't love you back?""She doesn't even know I love her" he chuckled faintly."Why didn't you ever tell her?""Well, I tried a lot of times but never succeeded. I always wait around if she is dating, waiting to know if they will break up, which they will end up doing but before I could say how I feel, she has gotten someone else and seeing how happy she is, I couldn't bear to ruin it for her.""Damn, what kind of a girl is she? How can she always find someone else before you can tell her how you feel?
One week later, Sasha walked out of the conference room with Janet, Agnes, Agatha and Marilyn. They were all pestering her to know how life with Michael has been judging by the fact that he picked her from work yesterday and as well as the constant smile that was always on her face. They followed her into her office and clustered around her desk while Sasha sat down, smiling as she looked at their faces one after the other "what do you girls want?""The hot juice, spill it out girl" Agatha urged and the rest nodded."Life has been good honestly" she smiled as she picked up her phone, she saw the time and immediately stood up "hey girls I'm sorry, we will continue this discussion some other time, I have to go now.""Where to?" Janet asked."I overheard Michael and Gary talking today. Michael will be going to the rehab to see his doctor and I want to surprise him by showing up. I have missed a lot of his sessions, but I don't want to anymore. After today I will ask him the
The lawyer arrived later in the evening with the already prepared papers for them. Sasha came down to meet them. Michael was still sitting on the couch while the lawyer was sitting in a sofa opposite him, Gary was standing beside Michael. The three men looked at Sasha when she arrived but she went straight and sat in the same couch with Michael. He glanced at her but her eyes was fixed on the lawyer "Mrs. Brown" he greeted."Where is it?" She asked directly.The lawyer looked at Michael and then back at her "are you sure you really want to do this ma'am?""Where is it?" Sasha demanded."Right here ma'am" he stood up and placed the divorce papers and a pen on the table. Sasha picked it up with the pen and sat back down. She flipped through the papers and input her signatures where necessary before placing the papers and pen back on the table.The lawyer glanced at Michael and he sighed before nodding at Gary who picked up the papers and brought to him. He handed him th
'My darling Sasha!'Sasha gulped when she saw the words, her heart missed a beat, her fingers shook. Her eyes locked on the three words, fourteen letters, darling Sasha? He...he...called her darling Sasha?There was no other letter nor word on the page again, she got her shaking fingers to turn the page and that was where she saw full page written in the handwriting of a twelve year old or thirteen. She took a deep breath and began reading."Dear grandma!Ever since your death, life hasn't been meaningful anymore. Mom is trying her best but it's not the same. I miss you, so much and I can't stop wishing for you to come back, even though mom said you are in a better place now.My birthday is next week and mom is planning a birthday party for me. You know how much I hate my birthdays and you are the only one who makes me enjoy it in a little way.I miss talking to you a lot so I got this diary, I know you will not be reading it but at least, it makes me feel like I'm
Sasha gently opened the envelope, treating it like an egg as she brought out the letter, she unfolded it with shaky hands and wondered what sweet words he might have written in it. She was impatient to read it but at the same time nervous, she took a deep breath before letting her eyes settle on the words."My darling Sasha!Words might not really convey the message I want to tell you but I will try my best. I understand I might be the last guy you expect to receive a letter from but believe me, I'm really nervous writing this.When I first saw you, I knew there was something different about you, but what I didn't know was that you would capture my heart like you did.I never believed in love, my late grandma had tried to explain to me how it truly feels but I never listened. Right now, you are making me feel like I'm the only man in the world. My heart jubilates when you are near, even though I have never said a word to you, I have said every single word in the world to
The ding sound rang loud in her chest and she jumped. The door opened and she stepped out, there was only one door in the hallway. She stood before the door, her heart beating, hands shaking, mind racing. She didn't know what to expect, will Michael forgive her? Will he give her a second chance?After using three minutes to calm herself, she slid the card on the door and it opened, she entered the house to witness a cloud of smoke.She froze.The smoke choking her, she cleared away the smoke from her face as she tried to find her away around. She opened the first door she saw but it was empty. Her eyes were turning red due to the smoke, and soft coughs escaped her mouth. She shut the door and went to the next room, but it was empty. There was another door by the right, she opened it but nothing. She made her way back to the living room through the smoke, that was when she noticed that the balcony was open.She strode gently towards it and there, she saw the silhouette he
Sasha kissed Michael again, and again, and again, not wanting to let him go neither did he but the growling sound coming from her stomach disrupted the moment.At first, Michael was confused of where the sound was coming from until it rumbled again and Sasha laughed "guess no matter how happy I am, my stomach can't forget I haven't eaten.""Let's go get you something to eat then. I can't have you dying on me before I even have you" he picked out strands of hair from her face which he placed behind her ear "if so, then I will wish this day never happened."Sasha chuckled, "come to think of it, today is Sunday. We can start by going to a church together.""I would love that but do you know the time?""Oh. No church service is still on by now.""Hey, not to worry, we have a lot of Sundays coming our way. Right?" He asked just to be sure."What do you think?" she kissed him again "but I'm supposed to be killing you now.""What?""Yes. How many times will I tel
