Alex was now in a completely naughty mood with the other children playing in the park running here and there.
Daniel was spying on them on the behest of Leo and was relaying all the information he could receive from his so-called intelligent sources.
"Rachel isn't married and is a single mom to a son. She has some great friends and a great career," Daniel informed.
“Even if she's single, I can't assume what’s going on in her life, or that her emotions are the same as mine for the love we shared," Leo answered.
Of course, he didn't know if she was single or dating someone. But he wanted to take a chance because he had only loved her. Moreover, he was quite optimistic that Alex was his secret baby.
“I figured what the heck. If we're meant to be together again then we will be,” Leo said, who was now on the way to the park to get answers to the questions that
“Little pitchers have big ears. Our child is a living, breathing, feeling human being. He can wake up and hear us arguing !” Leo said softly as Rachel told him to leave Alex and her alone in the hospital ward and not to come back again."Can we discuss the matter outside the ward ?" headded.“With all due respect, I’d rather not discuss it. There's nothing left to discuss with you since we know each other quite well now," Rachel replied as they both moved out of Alex's ward where he was sleeping under the spell of medicines."I need to discuss Alex, after all he's my son too," Leo said as they both sat in the waiting area.“That’s not up for discussion !” Rachel retorted."I want to know why you hid such big news from me and left the city without informing me four years back ?" Leo questioned."I'm the mother and I know what's
Call it destiny or just plain coincidence. Their fates were perching above them, smiling and murmuring amongst themselves: “Let’s see how it goes this time…”Audrey and Dmitri's eyes met and instantly locked in a similar way as the day they met for the first time five years earlier."I want to talk to you in private. Can you please walk down to the reception lobby with me ?"Audrey asked gently as she walked up to Dmitri's table where he was sitting."Yeah ! Sure !"ashocked Dmitri replied as he got up from his chair and started to move out of the cafeteria with Audrey."How are you, Audrey ?" asked Dmitri as he resisted the intense urge to just hold her in his arms and never let her go."Sorry to say but I'm good ! You're asking this question to get a feeling of accomplishment, which of course you'll not get, of how you had br
"When we were in a relationship, it was important to you that your family gets along with me. And that made total sense !" Dmitri said to Audrey who was feeling the greatest heights of betrayal and shock."Yes ! It’s awesome when our partners can be involved in multiple areas of our lives and hang out with the other people we care about in our family. That is why I called you to meet them," Audrey replied."But what if that’s not the case ? What if your parents disapproved of me but couldn't say so in front of you ?" Dmitri said.“You know, Dmitri, I’ve been trying to figure out what the issues were, what the solutions were to fixing those issues, and I can’t. I’ve been thinking about it all for the last three years," Audrey saidas a tear fell down her cheek. "Then, after seeing you and our daughter it popped into my mind that what I've been told in these three years wasn't
They hugged, they smiled, and they kissed. It was simply psychologically intoxicating to reunite after three years of longing with a mixture of nostalgia and fantasy combined to recreate the romance.They were older, wiser and had too much history not to feel a spark of the intensity and emotion experienced."Neither one of us was expecting to meet each other in this faraway town but our paths crossed through," Audrey said against his lips, staying in his embrace that she missed so much."Yes, I do believe in serendipity. I'm convinced that there is a higher power or even just fate, there is something that puts us and possibly our soul mate in the same place,at the same time,when the time is right," Dmitri replied back as he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck."It's up to us to recognize that though. Even if time and space separates us, possibly for months or years, one day w
"Melody is my lifeline, my savior when you were not there," an emotional Dmitri said as he held Audrey's hand in his hand while driving and kissed as he always did."Did you feel elated or nervous when you first set eyes on Melody, when you saw her at the birthday party ?" Dmitri asked anxiously."It was a moment of pure bliss, nothing wins over that feeling of seeing your daughter for the first time!I kept looking at her time and again just to make sure she was mine !!" Audrey said with tear drops in her eyes."Come out, Mommy ! Time to meet your daughter," Dmitri remarked as they reached the daycare."Hi Eliza," Dmitri greeted as he saw Melody coming."Hello handsome daddy !" Eliza said as she took notice of a beautiful lady standing beside him resembling Melody."Meet Audrey, Melody's mom," Dmitri introduced Audrey to Eliza.
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee ? It can work wonders for your busy day ahead," Audrey asked Dmitri who was now getting ready for the hospital."Darling,you spilled hot coffee on me and your daughter has made me a big fan of cold coffee," Dmitri replied."It’s a hot brew but it really helps you to cool off and think rationally. But if you want I can make a cold coffee too," Audrey said."Not required ! My recipe for iced coffee is very simple which your daughter can only help in making," Dmitri remarked."And what is that recipe ?" Audrey curiouslyasked."The recipe is - have a kid, make coffee, attend to her panic calls, forget you made coffeeand thendrink it cold, when you finally remember," Dmitri joked as they both laughed."Daddy, daddy catch !" Melody shouted in excitement."Melody, let's throw
Destiny is indeed a swerving force. We don't have any control over it. No matter how much we try, destiny has always proven to be strong but all said and done, 'Love triumphs.'"Rachel, you enticed me in my days, allured me in my nights and bewitched me in a myriad unknown ways," Leo said as he held her hand in his."I can't live without you and Alex anymore. I want all of us to stay together under one roof for all the years to come," heconfessed.He was as handsome as hell, and as sweet as heaven. He captured her heart, lit her spirit on fire and consumed her soul. However,now,practicallyhispersonal and professional life had taken many twists and turns. "But there can be logistics issues. It would be difficult to maintain a healthy relationship without jeopardizing our individual careers as we both stay in different parts of the country," Rachelworriedlyreplied.
"There are different kinds of love stories, but one thing is the same in all of them. In every love story, there is a 'Melody' ! It might be sweet or passionate. It can also be transcending or heart wrenching."The heart listens to no one because it is governed by love. Then, why try to control it ?" Audrey thought as she processed the emotional and fluid situation she had been through in the past few years.But these past couple of days had taught her how important it was to unwind, both mentally and physically. She enjoyed taking walks with Melody, watching cartoons, and playing games with her which brought them together.Melody slept early after dinner that evening. She was exhausted after a long day spent mostly outdoors.After they called it a day with all house chores taken care of, there was, between them, a weightless, seamless desire to be one.Dmitri pulled the bedroom
