Janet and Edwin finally returned home.They were lost in their thought and didn’t disturb each other.Their day passed as usual and Janet didn’t express how this matter affected her.She hadn’t thought about this matter before, but Edwin's indifferent attitude toward their wedding disturbed her.Various unpleasant thoughts were hovering in her mind.Why did he deny it? Did he never want to marry her?Why did he marry her so hurriedly? Was it because of the baby?What about their love? Was it fake?These were the things she was thinking.Edwin was busy with his thoughts, so he didn’t notice how disturbed she was.Next day,When Edwin reached the office, Elisha was waiting for him inside his office.“What happened?” Edwin wasn’t expecting her there early morning.“Why you didn’t agree with your wedding?” Elisa asked and Edwin was confused.“When did I deny? I just wanted to think about it.” Edwin didn’t know why she was getting worked up.“Think about what? It wasn’t your wish only Jane
Janet was crying, making Edwin’s heart bleed.He didn’t know what was happening to her, but he comforted her rather than asking for the reason.He was patting her back slowly, and after a while, Janet was finally done venting her misery.She pulled away, trying to wipe her snot with her hand, but Edwin stopped her.It was his limit.He picked out a few tissues and wiped her face carefully, clearing every corner, then he cleaned her hands carefully, cleaning every nook of her fingers.Janet was silently sitting there and letting him do as he wanted.She was now calm, but thinking how she made a mess in front of her; she felt embarrassed.Why did she need to show her vulnerable side in front of him?Now what would she answer if he asked her what was happening?Edwin didn’t question her instead he picked her up and took her inside their room.He prepared a bath for her and placed her inside the bathtub when the water was hot enough.Janet thought he would leave her alone after that, but h
They were driving for a long time and Janet was getting bored with curiosity.“How far the place is?” Janet finally couldn’t stop herself from asking.“We will reach there in 10 minutes,” Ben replied.This road was familiar. She remembered coming here with Edwin once.These roads went to the seaside restaurant they visited that day.Janet could never forget that day because that was the time she first realized how much she loved Edwin.That day spent with him would forever stay engraved in her mind.She would always cherish those moments.“We are here,” Ben said, and noticing this was the same place she was thinking about she was surprised.“What are we doing here?” Janet asked with a puzzled look.“That you need to find out because my duty ends here,” Ben said with a smile and when Janet walked out of thecar, Ben was still sitting inside.
“Let me see your ring,” Elisa said excitedly.The next day, Janet and Elisa were sitting in the living room and Elisa was asking her about her proposal.“Here,” Janet forwarded her hand and Elisa rubbed the ring with a frown.“Why it’s so small? How petty, Edwin.” Elisa mocked Edwin who was cooking in the kitchen.“I like it, though. I never wanted those big dazzling things.” Janet spoke out and Edwin smiled hearing that.“Don’t save his money. He has a ton to spend. How could he buy you a cheap ring? The price of the ring expresses how much he loves you.” Elisa said and Janet chuckled, hearing her explanation.Elisa didn’t know this was the ring she was once looking at when they went shopping.She was surprised when she saw these rings.She didn’t know he noticed that and bought the same ring for her.“Do you know how much this rin
“Elisa, I think it’s enough for today,” Janet said tiredly.But when had Elisa become tired of shopping?“You have so much left to buy, how can this be enough?” Elisa said while entering another shop excitedly.They were shopping for their engagement party, and Elisa had been on it since themorning, but Janet was exhausted.Her feet were killing, and she was feeling dizzy.“Elisa, I am serious. We can come again,” Janet finally said and Elisa turned to look at her.“I am so sorry. I forgot you are pregnant.” Elisa said, and Janet sighed.“I am famished,” Janet whined and Elisa decided to feed her first before returning home.They walked inside a restaurant and ordered their lunch.“Can you wait here? I will take a walk to the washroom,” Elisa asked, and Janet nodded.Elisa walked away while Janet sat there and was waiting for Elisa
It was finally their engagement day,Edwin was busy with all the arrangements. Even in his busy schedule, he was trying to take care of Janet.Janet has changed a lot in this month.She was getting too overbearing, even if anything didn’t go according to her, she was throwing tantrums.Everyone was on the edge afraid that she would flare up anytime and make a scene.If anyone had been in Edwin’s place would have beenfed up with her.But Edwin was getting more understanding.He was trying to cope with her tantrums and even when she was getting irresponsible; he was trying to fulfill his demands.Like now.Janet was throwing a tantrum because according to her, the dress she was going to wear was showing her baby bump too much.According to her, she looked horrible when she was the one who chose this dress in the first place.It was already time for theparty and she didn’t let any
They were standing in the morgue where the body was kept.The police were standing there for help, and when Edwin walked toward them, they showed them a packet.“These were the belongings we found in thevictim’s body,” the policeman said.Edwin took the packet and when Elisa noticed the ring inside the packet she started crying.“This is the same ring Janet was wearing. It was her engagement ring,” Elisa could recognize that ring.Even when she was not in her sane mind, she had never put this ring off.According to her, it was her proof of love.“Where is the body?” Edwin asked in his cold voice.Though the ring was a shock for him, he wasn’t ready to believe it was Janet.“The face was distorted; I don’t know if you could identifyit.” The policeman said.They walked toward the body and when they removed the cover Elisa looked away.
Five years later,Janet was sitting in her beach chair, basking in the sun, while watching her children play in the sand.They lived in a house that faced the sea, and this place wasn’t in the city.But Janet loved how calm and peaceful this place was.There was no hustle or crowd of cars, and they could only see a few houses far away.Janet often sat here while her children came out to play, but she rarely socialized with her neighbor.Her children and husband were the only people with whom she had some conversation, and she was content with that.It’s been five years.She couldn’t believe she would finally have this happy life.Her child has grown up well when she couldn’t give them the love a mother should give them.She still needed to fight her depression, but her husband has been managing everything well.On one side, taking care of the children despite his hectic job and her constant deteriorating health was another trauma for him.She was now Ok, but she did not know how long i
