When I open up my eyes, I find myself in the hospital. My head was aching so much and when I try to touch it, I find it wrapped round with a bandage. Clearly, I got a head injury when I had hit my head on the ground.
“Ouch," I say while placing my hand down. It was so painful on the head. And I know I will need a long time for it to completely heal.“Serah, I am so glad you are awake now.” Mia says while running towards me. I could see tears in her eyes while she was talking to me. I was so hurt to see those tears. The last thing I wanted was making her worried for me. I just wanted her to be happy all the time, but I just ended up doing the opposite.“Thanks, sister, for always being here for me.” I say to her, tears coming out of my eyes.She was my only family member. Our parents were already dead. They were involved in a bad car accident and none of them came out alive. Back then, my sister and I were so little and our relatives decided to send us to children's home. After we were already adults, we decided to leave children's home. We rented an apartment and both my sister and I got a job at a certain hotel. Our lives became a little better from the salary we were getting.“You got me so worried, Serah. What were you thinking. And where were you coming from? Please tell me.” Mia asks me.“Mia. Promise me that you won't get angry with me.” I say to her with tears in my eyes.“Tell me. You are my sister, so I won't get mad with you. I just want to know how you got into that situation. If you had not texted me I don't know what would have happened.” She says, her eyes full of tears.“I had gone to see Brian. You won't believe what he did to me, sister.” I say sobbing uncontrollably. His words were still ringing in my mind.“What has he done, Serah. Tell me. That foolish man. I knew from the start that he is not a good man. My instincts were right.” Mia tells me with a firm voice.“He broke up with me. He has found another girl. He even threw me out of his house. That is when I ended up in the streets. It was so cold, and I just could not bear it anymore. I am sorry sister, I wish I could have listened to you. You were right from the start, and I was too naive to see Brian's true colors." I say."Don't cry Serah. You just fell in love with the wrong guy. But it's all over now. You will have to forget him and just move on with your life.” Mia says.“But how will I start to live without Brian. I don't think I will be able to do that. I just love him so much. How will I be able to get him out of my mind? He is the only man I have ever loved. He is my first love, and he just ended up hurting me this way. Where did I go wrong, sister? I just don't understand why he has decided to leave me. I just cannot stand this anymore. I love him so much." I say while crying my eyes out. The hurt that I was feeling in my heart was too much. I don't think I will be able to bear it."I will be here to help you, Serah. I will never leave your side. I will help you forget, Brian. You are too precious to be hurt by a man like him. He doesn't deserve you at all. You deserve better. You are too beautiful to cry over a man, sister.” Mia says, kissing my forehead.The door opens, and the doctor walks in, interupting my chat with Mia. I rub the tears in my eyes with my eyes and I stare at the doctor. I hope he has good news for me. I just want to get out of this hospital. Being here is not good for me at all. Just lying down all day doing nothing makes me think about Brian all day long."Well miss Serah stone, I have some good news for you. We have conducted our tests on you, and you don't have any major injuries. The injury you have on your head is nothing major, so we will be discharging you tomorrow morning.” The doctor says, and I am glad to hear that. I don't know what I would have done if I had a severe injury on my head.“Thank you doctor for this information. It is really good news to us.” My sister Mia says.“I have not told you the good news yet.” The doctor says, and I start to feel nervous.“Tell me those good news, doctor. I badly want to hear it.” I say in a lot of haste.“The good news is that you are two weeks pregnant. Congratulations.” The doctor says.“What?, I am pregnant?, I just cannot believe this.” I say with a shocking voice.“Yes you are. Now it's better to take care of yourself for the sake of your baby. You will have to be extra careful for the sake of your baby.” The doctor says, and I just cannot believe the news. I just hope I am in a terrible nightmare right now.The news was still fresh on my mind. Me pregnant? It was just unbelievable. The father of my unborn baby was Brian and no one else. I just don't know how he will take the news if I disclose them to him. “Serah, don't think about this too much, ok? I am here, and I am going to take really good care of you.” Mia says. She was such a nice person and I know she loved me so much. She supported me in everything, and now she is also supporting me. I don't know what I will do without her by my side.“Mia, I don't think I will keep the baby.” I open my mouth to say that. Keeping this baby will remind me of all that Brian has done to me. All his disrespect and arrogance towards me makes it impossible to keep his baby.“What are you saying Serah. You will not abort this baby, and that is final.” Mia says in anger.“But Mia,” “No buts, Serah. This baby is innocent. So you will not punish it because of Brian. I refuse that.” She says.“Mia, I cannot bring this child into this world as a single
In the morning, the doctor comes in and gives us the discharge form. “Serah, you are absolutely fine. I will just write you some medicine which you will use so that the head injury can fully heal. Take care of yourself from now onwards for the sake of your baby.” The doctor says and leaves the room.“Serah, let me go and clear the bill. Just change into your clothes. When I come, we will start heading home." Mia says and she leaves the room.I struggle to get off the bed and I take my clothes and I head into the washroom to change. I look at myself in the mirror and I see that my face and eyes were swollen from the crying and the head injury. “Serah, are you done?” Mia asks me. I was just glued to the mirror, just staring at myself. I just could not believe that my beautiful face was now all swollen and ugly looking.“Yes, I am almost done” I say as I put on my dress. I head out after I am done.“You look beautiful, sister.” Mia says.“Are you saying that to cheer me up, sister?, I
“Serah, can you wake up, please. I am home already.” I hear Mia's voice. It's obvious I had fallen asleep while I was crying. “Sister, is it evening already?” I ask her with a lazy voice.“Yes, have you taken your lunch? You look weak and tired. And your eyes are red, were you crying?” She asks. She knew me so well, and I just could not hide anything from her.“No, I am not hungry sister. I just ate the breakfast you had left me. There is no need for you to worry about me so much. I am a big girl.” I say.“Ok. But tell me, why were you crying.” She asks.“I saw Brian earlier with his new girl.” I say.“Where did you see him?” She asks.“I was tired of staying in the house alone. So I decided to go out for a while. But when I got to the park, the first person to see was him. I just don't know why all this is happening to me.” I say with tears in my eyes. The pain was too much, and I just could not bear it anymore.“Please, sister, don't cry. I hate seeing you this way. Please try not
Blue light hotel was one of the most famous hotels in our area. Famous people liked to come here so much. It was so fancy and the food was so delicious. Everything was just perfect in this place. Mia and I stand at the door, ready to walk into the hotel. “Shall we, sister?” Mia asks me and I nod my head. I was so excited and for a minute, I forgot about Brian.We slowly walk into the hotel. It was all beautiful. We find a table, and we sit down, ready to wait for the waiter.* * * * * * * * * * * *“Samantha, will you marry me?” I suddenly hear that from behind me. Mia and I were already eating the meal we had ordered.“Of course I will marry you, Brian Williams. I love you so much.” I hear a lady's voice say.“Brian Williams?” I say as I turn my head to check if it was my Brian because they shared the same name. I almost go into shock when I see Brian kissing a lady. I was right. It was my Brian, and he had proposed to that lady already. I don't understand why I keep meeting with h
Brian's POV.“Who was that girl Brian. I just did not want to embarrass you earlier. That is why I kept quiet. But now I will not be quiet anymore. So tell me who was she?” Rebecca asks me after we had reached home. “She is no one baby. Just believe me. I have never met her before. You know you are the only one I love, right? Do you trust me?” I ask her.“I do trust you, but that girl was serious with what she was saying. It's like she knew you so much.” She says.“But I don't know her. Baby, today is our special day. So please, let's forget about all the negative things. Let's focus on our future together. I love you, darling, and I want to spend the rest of my days with you.” I say as I kiss her lips passionately.“It's ok darling. I believe you. So let us just forget about the incident. Let us just celebrate our engagement. I am so happy, and I can't wait for the day we will be finally married.” Rebecca says as she returns the kiss.I was so done with Serah. She is not relevant to
Serah's POV.“Serah I am so angry with you. How dare you do that. When you know how much I love you. You are my sister. Do you want to leave me all alone in this world?, answer me? Answer me Serah. I am waiting for your honest answer because I am just tired. I am tired of pretending to be the strongest one while I am just dying inside. Today's incident has just made me crush. I don't know what to do with you anymore Serah." Mia says while breaking up in tears. She looks so vulnerable in front of me and I feel so sorry for her. I realize I have been so selfish. I was only concerned about my sorrows, and I forgot that she has her sorrows too. She was also hurting, but I could never see the pain in her eyes. Instead, I just ignored her. She cared so much for me and also loved me so much. She sacrificed everything for me and in return, I ended up hurting her feelings.“I am so sorry, sister. I did not realize I was hurting your feelings this way. Please forgive me. I promise you never to
Mia's POV.I must admit that I felt so bad when serah tried to kill herself. But I decided to forgive her after she regretted her bad decisions. Being her elder sister, it has always been difficult to take care of her. Most of the occasions I had to pretend to be tough, but the truth is that I was so weak. I felt weaker when she became sick and heartbroken, but I chose to remain strong for her. She was my only family and I just could not lose her.After our heated argument and crying in each other arms, we finally let go of one another, and I stand up from where I was sitting.“I am going to my room now, Serah. It was really a long night, and I just need to lie down and forget everything that happened today.” I say to her as I kiss her good night.“Thanks, sister, for forgiving me.” She says while looking at me with tears in her eyes.“It's ok Serah. I hope you will not do it again. I want both you and your baby to be safe. I still need you very much." I say trying to hold back the t
Mia's POV.My alarm rings, “Oh my gosh. It's morning already.” I say, I hated getting up early in the morning. But I had to because of my work. The boss was too harsh. He hated nonsense, and he scolded anyone who came to work late. I slowly get up, and I go to the washroom. I shower, dress up and head to the living room. I prepare breakfast as usual. I eat, and I head to Serah's room to check up on her. She was still in a deep sleep. She looked so peaceful. It has been long since I saw her sleeping this way. “Serah,” I tap her beautiful face to wake her up. She slowly opens her eyes to look at me.“Sister, you are already leaving?” She asks in a sleepy voice.“Yes, the breakfast is ready. As usual.” I say with a smile on my face.“Thanks sister. I will eat later. I still feel sleepy.” Serah says.“It's ok. Let me go now. And another thing, I might be late in the evening today.” I say to her.“Where will you go?” Serah asks.“I will tell you when I come back.” I say to her.“Ok sis
Raphael's POV.“Place that here. Yes, there. It looks good.” I smile as I stare at Gael's photo. I had printed it earlier this morning. It was so big, just like him.“How is the decoration sir, do you love it?” The decorator asks.“It's perfect. I love it. Thank you for being here. Here is your payment. You may leave now.” I say to her, and she signals her team to leave.Today is when Gael was coming back home, so I had to make everything look perfect and beautiful. It has been two weeks now since he woke up from his coma and the doctors said he was doing better, and they discharged him.“I am sure Gael will love this. I want him to be happy. He deserves this.” I say.I then take my car keys and head outside. I take my car and I start driving to the hospital to pick up my family. I feel so happy and excited.I had informed my parents that Gael had a welcoming party today. But since my father was still not so well, they said that they will not make it. They just sent Gael's present and
Serah's POV Soft hands wake me up. I was so tired. Staying in the hospital was too tiring. I slowly open my eyes and I see Raphael staring at me. I slowly get up from the couch and I sit.“My love, you are back already?” I ask him.“Yes, my love. I came back some few minutes ago. You were sound asleep so I did not want to disturb you.” He says.“So, how was your trip. Did everything go well?” “Yes my love. My dad is doing so much better and he now accepts you. He asked met to tell you that once Gael is alright, then you can go see him. He has invited you over to our house. Both you and Gael.” Raphael says.“My love, why does he accept me so suddenly?” I ask. Something felt fishy to me. “He says, he feels guilty of what he did to me back then. He has also handed the company to me. So, I will be taking over the company.” He says.“That is a good thing, my love. Maybe it's true that your dad regrets his actions. I am happy that you have resolved the differences between you and your da
Raphael's POV.I am woken up by my alarm. It was already 7.00am. I slowly get up from the bed. I had had a good night sleep, and I am happy. I feel so great, and I know I will feel even better once I shower.I pick up my phone and I call Serah. I wanted to know how they were doing. Me — my love. How are you?Serah - we are ok, my love.Me — how is Gael. Has he improved?Serah. — yes, my love. He keeps lifting his fingers more often now. I am so happy for him. He will wake up soon. How about you? Did you have a good night sleep?Me — yes, I did. I have woken up now. Should I send you some food and clothes? I am sorry I won't be able to come today. I have to go to my hometown to see my dad.Serah - yes, please do that, my love. I will really appreciate. Just drive safely.Me — I will. I will inform you when I get there. Kiss Gael for me. I miss seeing him.Serah - ok, my love. I love you.Me — I love you.I get up, head to the bathroom and I take my bath. After I am done with the dress
Raphael's POV.I come back to the ward feeling so happy. At long last, my parents have realized their mistake, and they have finally decided to accept Serah as their daughter-in-law. It felt so wonderful. I just cannot believe that my father let go of his ego and he accepted Serah. It just seemed impossible, but I am glad he did. Finally, I can marry Serah and together we will be one big happy family.“My love. How is Gael now.” I ask Serah.I found her staring at her son. “I saw him move his fingers again. I think he is about to wake up. Maybe he can even hear us.” Serah says and I rush to check.“Son, if you can hear us. Can you try to move your fingers again.” I softly speak to Raphael's ear.I see his fingers move again.“My love. Can you see that? This is so amazing. I am so happy.” Serah says.“Serah, come here. I want to say something to you." I say to Serah. I take her hand and I make her sit right beside me.“What is it, my love. You are scaring me. Ever since we started
Raphael's POV.I am shocked to see my mother at the hospital. I even thought that I was dreaming. But when Serah talked to me, I now believe she was here.I wonder why she came. I hope it is not about Elena because if that is the case, then I will not listen to her. I will chase her out of here because I want nothing to do with a family that does not respect my decisions. I would rather stay alone. I take the food Serah had brought for me and I sit down to eat. I was starving and I eat hungrily. Serah always made so delicious foods. She was always the best and I will never leave her. She is mine forever. I am going to stick with her forever.After I am done, I go inside the washroom and I clean myself up before wearing the clothes Serah had brought for me. She always knew what to wear, and she had brought for me the best clothes. I smile as I stare at myself in the mirror. I now feel so fresh and full thanks to my woman. I just love her and every day I thank the heavens that I met a
Serah's POV.I lie down to sleep. This is the first time in months that I hear good news. My son's health was improving, and I felt so nice about it. * * * * * * * *I wake up, and it's morning already. When I check my phone it was already 9.00 am and I had two missed calls from Raphael. I guess he was worried about me. I mean I usually wake up so early to head to the hospital but today, I overslept. I decide to call him.Raphael — my love, are you alright? I was so worried about you.Me — I am fine, my love. I just woke up. I have slept so much today.Raphael — Glad to hear that. I Will be waiting for you here at the hospital. Me — I will come right away after preparing something for you to eat. Hospital food is not that good. I want you to eat something nice.Raphael — I will be waiting for you.Raphael says, and I disconnect the phone with a smile on my face. It felt so nice whenever I talked to him.I get out of my bed and I head to the shower. After I am done, I put on my clot
Raphael's POV.After some months, we are still in the hospital. Gael was still in the coma and that was worrying me the most. In those few months, he had received blood more than three months. His health was getting better little by little, and we hoped for good news soon.The gunshot wounds were so deep. That is why it was taking long for them to heal. It has been months of stress and agony. Serah spend most of her time crying. She looked as if she had lost hopes. But I remained strong just for her.“My love. Just go home and rest. I will stay in the hospital tonight.” I say to her.“I want to be here Rapha. Please let me spend the night here with you. Our son might wake up tonight. I don't want to miss that chance of seeing him opening his eyes.” She says.“Just go. Please, you look so tired and I want you to get enough rest. I will call you immediately something happens. You will be the first person to know. I promise you that, my love.” I say to her.“Ok, my love. Mia will take m
Raphael's dad POV.After some months.I open my eyes, and I see this bright light in the room. “Where am I?” I ask.I can't remember what had happened to me. My memory was just blank.“What happened to me. Why can't I remember anything?” I ask out loud.I hear the door opening and I turn my head to look. I recognized the face immediately. It was my wife coming in. I am glad she is here. She can answer the countless questions I had.“Darling. You are awake already?” She says immediately she sees me. She comes and gives me a tight hug.“What happened to me?” I ask her.“You can't remember?” She asks.“Yes, I can't remember anything. My mind is just as blank as a plain paper. Please clarify things for me. I might be able to remember a bit.” I say to her.“There is a time three months ago, you went for a business trip. You had promised to return the following day, but you never came home. I only got a call saying that you are involved in a greasy road accident. When I got there, you were
Brian's POV.I find out that I have a son in the most horrible way. I just could not believe Serah had lied to me back then. But I know she had her reasons if doing that. I know he wanted me to stay as far away from his son as possible.“Gael, what a beautiful name. My son, I have a son. So unbelievable.” I say while smiling in my car.I just could not believe it. But I felt bad, knowing that he was fighting for his life right now. I will do anything to make sure that he survives this. I will give him my blood.I follow Serah's car from behind. I know she must be really heartbroken. She's trying really hard to stay strong, but I know deep inside her. She was hopeless.I feel bad for judging her a few days ago. But in real sense I was the one who hurt her the most in this world and every day, I live with that guilt. I hope one day she will forgive me. * * * * * * * *We arrive at the hospital. And I come out of the car. I am shocked to see Serah and another man coming out of their car
