When I drive back home I was calm. Maybe it was the sexual tension driving me so mad. But I still had a little bit of restlessness inside me. I had no idea why I was feeling this way. I was called by Ayesha for a wedding couture decision. Unfortunately, it is one of the most important things that is required of me. They already manage a lot without me. I wasn't busy or anything but still, I wasn't getting involved in the wedding as they wished me to be. I was incredibly happy but the last time Dane got married there was a swap of brides. I was afraid that it will happen again deep down. I don't know what but something was stopping me from enjoying the wedding as I thought.I left Dane at home. He was working from home these days. I went for the wedding gown selection. I was surprised that they had already minimised my selection options which was a huge relief for me. I instantly put three gowns away for trial. They almost rolled their eyes at my laziness. I may have even shocked the sa
We reached the hospital at lightning speed. I saw Heidi standing in front of a room. She looked very stressed. My heart went to her. She wasn't wearing any makeup at all. There couldn't be any more clue on how distressed she was."Heidi", I called her. She jerked when she saw me and started crying. I gave her a strong hug. My poor sister doesn't deserve anything like this. I know she is not perfect but I have experienced what one would feel when one's husband is put on intensive care. I don't wish it on anybody, especially my sister."What happened?", I asked. I still can't believe that Jake is seriously injured. Whenever I close my eyes I saw his laughing face."I don't know. I'm told that there was a huge accident. That is all I know. I will lose Jake", she said."I promise you that nothing of that sort will happen. I will never let anybody take Jake away from us.She sobbed uncontrollably putting her face on my chest. I didn't know how to console her maybe I should call Ella. I don
Jake is no more. There is nothing that is cutting to that reality. I'm afraid that my husband lost a genuine person who cared for him. How could someone hate Jake? Everybody just loved him. I can't imagine a life without his laughs and smiles. He was the only one who could bring out the funny and sarcastic Dane. I will miss him for the rest of my life. He helped me to patch up my relationship with Dane. I hope he finds his peace.I heard my phone ring it was Ayisha. I picked it up. She wanted me to come for approving the food menu. I had forgotten how much happy I was these days. The sadness that followed has completely thrown me off. I said I will call her later. I can't deal with the pain and arrangement of a wedding right away. I would have cancelled the whole thing but I didn't want to hurt Dane. I saw his phone ringing and he picked it up. I think it was his parents."I'm not getting married, Mom. I just lost my best man. I don't ever want to get married without him by my side",
I caught her at the right time. My little sister was so distraught I had never seen her so helpless. Ella huffed and puffed to the exit. I knew she had recently lost her mother too for siding up with me. I felt so bad that u wished my father was here. He must know how to console his daughter. I had no idea how to make her feel better. I was afraid that I'm failing as a sister and also as a friend to Jake. The last rites were performed on Jake. His parents were so stricken one couldn't imagine their pain. I saw Dane holding their hands to give them strength. He was talking to them like I was doing with Heidi.Once it was finished we reached home. Both of us were so tired that we couldn't even talk to each other. Every second I was home the memory of Jake haunted. I didn't understand his last words. He asked me to protect Heidi and Dane. I didn't know why would he think there was a danger still. I always cautioned Dane to not let Enzo drag him to a dark path. But I was talking about the
I went to see Heidi I knew she was still very much broken. There were no more videos or pictures on her social media. I knew she had taken Jake's death hard like me and Dane. When the door opened I saw that she had a dead expression. She smiled when she saw me. She was very slim already now with the death it was as though she wanted to diminish."Where is Ella?", I asked her. It seems that she was alone in the house and her mother had already left her."She went on a date", said Heidi."Really? That was very quick. It looks as though she didn't care about anyone but herself", I said outraged."It is OK. I suggested it. She said she was sick of me sitting alone in the house all day and night", she said."So she thought it was OK for her to leave you here?", I asked annoyed."You know Mom it is hard for her to keep still", she said combing back her hair. I saw needle marks on her hand."What is this Heidi?", I asked her.She was silent. I knew she had no insulin shots so this could mean
Life goes on. No matter how hard one tries to remain in the past it is simply not possible. It has been nearly a month since Jake had passed away. We have all learnt to live without him. We still remember him. Hardly a day goes by that we don't miss Jake. But yet we decided to live for him than to be sad. My sister had long quit social media. Now she helms Wellington Inc with my husband. They are now good friends and my jealousy has slipped out of my mind it feels as though it was never there. She hadn't dated anyone so far. My husband wanted her to move on and see other people but we can't say it to her. It is simply not a regular conversation one could have with their best friend's wife even though the best friend is long gone."I still can't believe Heidi took a one-eighty degree from what she once was", said Charlie."Me too. But I think this is for the best", I said to her."Can someone change so much?", she mused."Yes, it is possible. If you had told me that I and my sister wil
"It says I'm pregnant", I said as though I was shockingly slapped on my face."Yes, Babe. This just confirms my suspicion", she said as though she finished her gynaecology degree yesterday."This can't be happening", I said my voice barely a whisper."I hope this is a good surprise because you couldn't keep your hands away from the kids I babysat", she said."But this couldn't happen my doctor told me. Maybe the test is not working properly", I said."The world is probably not round because that was what people believed many years before", she said with a huff."I still can't believe it", I said."Are you happy?", she asked me."Yes", murmur."Then what is the issue?", she asked."What if I lost it?", I asked her."There are many things in the world that could go wrong. But just imagine what will you do if the baby makes it out fine! That will alone give you strength to fight all the odds", she said to me."Should I tell Dane?", I asked nervously."Of course, you should tell him", she
Can a person change after hearing big news? I think so it feels as though I'm a different person altogether. It is like yesterday doesn't matter. I can't wait to tell Dane. But I knew he was one of those who loved me a lot. He would never risk my life for a chance of having a baby. The doctor had said that there is very less chance that the baby survives. She said she wouldn't advise me to carry my bug to full term because it could also kill me. But this news doesn't make me change my heart. I want my baby. I thought it was impossible but with the possibility that I could be a mother! It was like I was born again.I have decided that I will tell him after two weeks then it would be impossible to do an abortion. So that he wouldn't have to choose between mother and kid. I just can't wait to see the happiness that I'm going to give him. I know it will make him very happy so I should just keep it with me for a few weeks after that he can't force me to give up the baby. When I reached ho
