HENRY I stared at her as she walk up the stairs ,it's so out of her character not to nag tonight .I wonder she has been since she left the house ....well that's none of my business ,she can go wherever she wants and see whomever she likes .I chuckled as I remembered the conversation I had with her Dad yesterday." Pearl is our only child and she has refused to participate or try to learn anything about the business and I'm obviously not getting any younger ,I need to retire but thankfully she's married to a successful business man like you so I have nothing to worry about ,I'll have my assistant come over to your office in two weeks time so you can merge the company with yours ......" I'm finally going to hit the jackpot ! After the merger between the companies ,I'll file for a divorce so I'll get rid of her and hopefully get kheera back !I turned my face back to the movie i was watching annoyed at what I missed because I was looking and thinking about her. RAYMOND This is the
KHEERA " What did your friend later do about her issues ?" Tina asked and I rolled my eyes at her. I regret listening to her advice ." she followed your advice and she discovered the guy is with another girl now " I replied eyeing her ." Your friends deserves it .....or should I say you deserve it " she replied smiling shyly at me .How did she know I'm the one ? " How did I know ? It was obvious plus everytime someone needs your opinion on what's happening to their friends it's always what they are going no through but ashamed to admit ".she said as a matter of factedly .I chuckled and replaced it with a frown when I remembered she said I deserved it ." What do you mean by I deserve it ?" . I asked " He'll be a saint not to have someone by now kheera ...but you might be mistaken ". She replied .I rolled my eyes at her ,I know what I saw ..." Kheera ....." I heard a familiar deep husky voice call . I turned to see Raymond in front of my desk .What the heck is he doing here
HENRY I dragged my luggage out of the house after glancing at pearl and the house one last time .Have I really lost everything I've worked hard for ?I don't even get why she's doing this to me .I need to figure how why she's doing this to me ! I need to know why Pearl has turned herself into my enemy .I put my suitcase inside my car boot and I drove outside the compound .********************A week later Pearl and I sat across each other with our lawyers sitting beside us ." Mr Henry why do you insist on not signing the divorce papers ?". Her lawyer asked and I glanced at her and it's very obvious with the look on her face that loathes me and hate the sight of me ." I just need to know why she's doing all these to me then I'll sign the papers ." I replied staring at her ." She feels you both have conflicting personalities and that's already stated in the paper in front of you Mr Henry ".he replied .I glared at him ." I need to know the real reason not some stupid things y
A month later ...........RAYMONDI walked into Tracy's fashion office and I walked over to where she sat .She gave me a " what are you doing here ?" Look but I ignored .I've been consistently coming over to win her over so she can support kheera and I and she has been chasing me away but today I won't have none of that ,I cannot keep staying apart from kheera because she doesn't approve our relationship ." Until you tell me why you are so adamant about not allowing me date kheera I'm not leaving !" I said with my voice out loud although I didn't yell.She motioned to all her workers to leave us alone and I chuckled lightly since that's what I wanted ." What do you think you are doing ?" She asked with her teeth gritted together showing she's annoyed. " I demand an explanation and I'll receive it before I leave and this will be the last time I'll come to pester you ". I replied and she gave out a small laugh ." An explanation ? Do you really need it ? Can't you see that you and
KHEERAI sat down by the beach enjoying the breeze and the little noise coming from the water waves .It's my daily routine since I came to this place ,do my morning exercise and seat by the beach side before returning home to eat and probably read books .I stood up and placed by headset back on my ear listening to Ed _ sheeran's bad habit . I jogged back to the house humming the song .I paused when I saw a car parked in front of the house and two figures standing outside my door .What's going on ? I ran faster but paused in my tracks when the car and the people standing became clearer . Raymond and Tracy.I walked slowly to where they stood questioning the reason why they are here in my head .The two of them being together means they've reconciled right ? I hope so ...." Hi " I greeted immediately I got there not looking at any of them in the eye .Tracy signalled to Raymond and he left us to sit in the car ,I stared at his back which is turned at me ,it's been a month since I
( Final chapter) Few months later .............KHEERA I woke up in the morning and rushed to check my phone to see if I've missed a call from Raymond but I got dissapointed . Not even a call from Tracy! It's my birthday for crying out loud and there's no call or text from the two of them .Am I being taken for granted now ? I dragged my feets lazily to take my bathe and head to work .I smiled at the thought that they might be planning a surprise for me . Even my parents didn't call . Few minutes later ........ I got to work and I got the usual normal greetings from my co workers ,I entered my office , I'm sure Tina won't forget my birthday even if everyone else does. " Hi Tina !" I greeted cheerfully expecting her to scream and wish me a happy birthday . " Welcome kheera " she replied without paying attention to me very engrossed in whatever she's doing on the computer in front of her. I hissed and walked to sit down on my chair . " Kheera I'm sorry I forgot ! " She yel
Six months later ............KHEERA I tossed and turned scattering the duvet wrapped around my body with my leg in annoyance as the blaring noise coming from my cell phone wouldn't stop .I stood up with annoyance and I picked up my phone .David ? Why is David calling me this early in the morning? He'll have to pay me for extra hours ...I resume by 9 for goodness sakes ." Sorry did I wake you ?" He asked immediately I answered the call ." Of course you did " I replied yawning lazily ." I'm sorry .....kheera I need your help " . I paused for a while ,why is he sounding so desperate ." What's going on ?" I asked gently ." I ...uhm ....I want to propose to Tracy tonight " he replied nervously and I let out a gasp .Of course I'm shocked ! They started dating after I got engaged to Raymond and that's just six months and now he wants to propose to her ? David and I finalized the preparation since he wanted to do something simple and we ended the call .I sank into my knees and I
RAYMOND I just stood still staring at her as she walked back into her office. What exactly is going on? And why is she mad at me ?. I kicked start my car and I drove back to my office .I'm sure she'll be in a better mood by the time we see each other tonight for David's proposal .And hopefully she'll tell me what I did wrong .KHEERA Office hours went by slowly but thankfully it's over .... David kept on calling me to his office to make sure the plan is in motion while Tina kept on bragging about " this man " she's getting engaged to.I have an eerie feeling about the man but I'm not even sure if it is really my mind that's speaking or jealousy .I got home ,dressed up and head over to Tracy's workplace .The plan is for me to invite her out and then boom ! David proposes. I hope I get this right because I'm so disturbed , jealous and angry ." Hi bestie ". Tracy yelled and pulled me into a warm hug immediately I got to her office. " You look good !" She said holding my two ha
TRACY Watching them all surround me on the hospital bed made me emotional and I began to cry . They told me stories about how I had been declared dead and been in the bed for over a year before Raymond decided they bury me and all the things that has happened to them . " Stop crying or I'll cry too " David whispered gently and I chuckled lightly. " I thought men don't cry " " He's not a man " Raymond chipped in smiling cheerfully . "Oh how I miss you little brother , I miss you all ". " We missed you to death Tracy ..." DAVID Raymond and kheera left me and Tracy alone to talk .I noticed she got a bit moody when they walked out. " What's wrong ?" " Uhh ? ... nothing". " Tell me what it is " I asked gently cupping her face. She swallowed her saliva gently .... " Are ....are you still single ?" She asked and I gave her a smirk smile . I let out a cold sigh gently and I let go of her house . " I'm ....I'm sorry ...." " I understand , it couldn't have been possibl
KHEERA" What's going on ?" Raymond asked immediately we got to the doctor's office ." I don't even know how to say this , it's such a miracle because I'm my years of experience as a doctor I have never experienced such a thing "." Enough with the stories doc ....tell me what's going on ?" He asked more impatiently and I nodded ." Your sister just responded to treatment , we got a signal from her brain "." You what ?" I didn't even know when I yelled ." Does that mean she's alive ?" Raymond asked" She's not awake yet ...but that signal technically means she's alive ".Ray and I jumped on each other ." I knew she was not dead , she cannot leave me alone " I pulled him into a hug.I'm happy he didn't listen to us when we told him to allow us bury her , I'm happy he stood strong for his sister ....our sister .***************" I need to call David "" Yes you should " Raymond replied with this excitement that I thought he had lost .DAVIDI smiled immediately I saw kheera's na
DAVIDKheera?" I called gently and she smiled ." Are you also being miserable ?" She asked and I sighed ." Also ? Who else is miserable?" " Raymond " I muttered an ohh and I shrugged ." It's expected and she's his sister "" He won't let us bury her David .....he won't let her rest because he believes a miracle is going to happen "." Kheera it's only normal he reacts that way , we both got to know her after she has grown ....they've been together since childhood and she has been more of a parent to him than a sibling so letting go to him is definitely not an option "." I know all that David ...I do , do you think it's easy for me too ? It isn't ! I just wanted to fulfil my last promise to her even though it's so hard ".KHEERAHe kept mute for a while then sighed ." Why don't we just let him decide what he wants to do ....instead of telling him what to do , why don't you just concentrate on making him feel better ?" " What about you ? When are you going to feel better ?" I a
RAYMONDImmediately she left I knew I shouldn't have reached to her that way so I rushed out to go after her but she already left .I walked back into the room and sat on the floor as tears flowed freely .I miss you Tracy .....there is absolutely nothing I can do without you , just come back .... please ...DAVID" Stop making me dump all these food David ..." I turned to look at Ella who looks frustrated and dissapointed at the same time .I know she hates dumping her cookings , it's like hurting her ego but I just can't bring myself to lift a spoon ." Are you going to take forever to mourn her ?" She asked and I sighed. This is definitely not about mourning her , I miss her like crazy , and I can't just accept the fact that I'll never get to see her again ." Talk to me David ....mum and dad are also worried sick about you especially mum ...."" I'm fine "" Are you ?" " Ella I'm fine and I'll love to be alone ....do I get to have that peace ?" . " Peace ? Sulking and crying
RAYMONDThe doctor and I rushed into the ward to find kheera and David crying .My heart flew out of my chest , we were told to stay outside by the doctor who is busy trying to resuscitate her ." She's gone Ray ...she's gone ..." Kheera said amidst tears .David just sat lifelessly on the floor ." She's not dead , she can't be dead ! She cannot die !" I yelled back at her as I feel my insides crumbling .The doctor walked out of the ward looking disheleved. I rushed to him ." How's my sister ? She's fine right ? She just went through a form of attack right?" " Calm down Mr Raymond ...."" Don't tell me to calm down ! Don't you dare !" I yelled and the doctor sighed slowly." She's brain dead Raymond .... she'll never wake up which means she's ......"" It means she's still alive right ?" " Yes ...we can say that because her other organs are fine and can be donated ...."" Donated ? Don't you dare try to give out my sister's organs like a pack of sweets ". " Raymond !" Kheera
TRACY I decided to speak to them one after the other so David left the room and kheera walked in .." Bestie " she greeted cheerfully " Come and sit beside me " I replied patting the space beside me on the bed .She sat gently beside me and I smiled ." I'm good to miss you ...our fights , our fun times , the times I force you to a party , oh my goodness who is going to style you once I'm gone ? I'm sure you are going to have a tough time dressing up like ....."" Why are you saying all these ?" She replied cutting me off ." We both know I'm going to die soon bestie ...."" You are not dying anytime so......" " Let's stop lying to ourselves kheera , let's be realistic at least for the sake of these our private probably last ....talk " .I let out a small laugh .Was this how mother felt back then ? Her face fell immediately and she let out a small sigh." You are crazy ....even in death bestie you are crazy ".I chuckled lightly ." I want you to do me two favours "." If this
TRACYI opened my eyes gently and I saw Raymond leaning on the door , kheera and David sat opposite each other fast asleep with my bed in the middle .Each of them holding onto each of my hands .I feel so loved and it made my eyes teary .I placed my hand gently on their two heads like a mother hen trying to protect her children ." Tracy ?" Raymond called surprised and the two of them that were fast asleep jolted up awake .I feel so sorry troubling them like this and making them care too much for me. " The ....the wedding .... I'm sorry ...I ....ruined the wedding ...".My throat hurts and It felels like I haven't talked for years ." Forget the wedding ...how are you feeling ?" David asked worry written all over his face. " How... long have I been asleep?" I asked my voice a little bit clearer although it still hurts ." Five days " kheera replied and I muttered an " oh " .Now I now why it feels as if I haven't opened my mouth in years." Sis ...how are you doing ? How are you
DAVIDKheera , Raymond and I sat down outside the emergency ward waiting for the doctor who appeared few minutes later .We all rushed to meet him .My heart stood still frozen ." I'm sure you all know how her heart condition is ?". The doctor asked looking at us for answers and we all nodded ." She had gone through too much stress and that was the reason behind the sudden collapse .... we'll have to get her admitted here and she won't be leaving anytime soon ......". " How is she? I mean right now ? How is she doing ?" I asked ignoring his explanations ." She's stable and she's under control .. she's asleep so you might have to wait a while before going in to see her " . He replied and walked away .I walked lazily to the window of her ward and I stared at how lifeless she looked on the bed .I let out a small laugh at how beautiful she still looks despite her condition ." She looks so beautiful doesn't she ?" I turned to see kheera standing beside me ." Yes she does " " Sh
KHEERAThe impromptu yet super exciting wedding plans started rapidly .Raymond and I decided to honour Tracy's wish to get married on the same day ." Kheera I think peach will make a good colour for our wedding dress ". I smiled gently as she brought me out of my thoughts ." It's not your 15th birthday darling ....who wears a peach colour dress on their wedding ?" I yelled and she glared at me ." Tracy ! Tracy wants to wear a peach dress on her wedding day " " We might have to put on different color of dresses then cause there's no way I'm wearing that colour " She pouted her mouth childishly and I rolled my eyes at her ." That won't make me change my mind bestie ". She threw her hands up in surrender ." So what do we wear them ?" " Anything ......."" Let's wear pe ...."" Asides from peach my darling drop the issue ". " What are the two most important ladies in my life talking about ?". Raymond said immediately he got into the house ." Am I allowed to say that too ?" D
