"I will take you to visit your daughter", said a nurse roughly. I was very still. This is the moment I finally get to see the flesh of my flesh, the blood of my blood. I can't say anything. I'm afraid that I will cry if I say something out loud. She would be thinking what kind of a mother I was?"Thanks", I said. I was alone my best friend and her wife left for home. I insisted that they should go. They don't have to stay back. I was alright. I was capable of looking after myself. I could ask for assistance if I needed anything.I slowly moved. She was efficient. I had doubted that her skills must match her personality but that wasn't the case. She had no time for nonsense. I slowly placed myself in the wheelchair with her help. I could feel the tear on my stomach. It was making a loud announcement each time we took a turn. But I didn't make a sound or made a complaint. I was afraid that she might take me back. When I was finally there I could hear the cries from everywhere."Sister
"Can I take her back with me?", I pleaded with her. She was a kind nurse too. It was a rare occurrence though."I'm sorry. You can't take her back not yet. She is still very weak. She has to gain some more strength before she could join you back", said the nurse."I can't wait that long", I said to her. My voice was broken with emotions."I understand but I can't do anything. Doctor's orders", she said guilty."OK. Can I stay a little more?", I couldn't help myself but I asked it.She looked at me with pain. I knew she didn't want to hurt me again. But I was already very much hurt. There is nothing more that she could do to me. She could give me a little bit of fresh breath by allowing me the stay more like giving oxygen to a drowning person."I'm sorry for putting you in a tough spot. Please take care of my girl", I managed to say."I will try my best. Your daughter is very lucky to have you. The visiting time is over now", she said."OK", I said giving back my baby to the waiting ha
This is the day finally I get to get home. I can take my little angel with me. There is nothing that will stop me. I was over the moon. My joy was uncontainable. I knew everyone is going to be jealous of me for being extremely happy. For the first time, my happiness has nothing to do with a name called Dane Wellington. Though he has a small part in my happiness. He had given me though unknowingly something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.I held the baby once again she was sleeping eyes closed. How could someone fill your life with so much love yet be blissfully unaware of it? I knew my daughter has no idea how much light she had given me in my darkest of times. Dane once called me his light I call her my light. She helped me from becoming insane from grief and hopelessness."You have to put her down at some point", said Charlie with a smirk."I will when I get home", I shot back at her."Careful she is like mama bear", said Jasmine."You don't have to be like that with us
Three years have passed and I think there wasn't any excuse for me to continue sitting at home. I knew Jeff was keeping the position open for me for a long time. He is tired of hiring contractors while securing my place. I also have kind of drained up my savings on looking after Namaste, my baby. My friends being so kind would rarely let me pay for something but still, I shouldn't continue to take advantage of their kindness for too long. I should get a job and pay my rent. That is the least I could do.Being away from my daughter was the most painful part of joining the work. I realised that I had missed several new updates and Accounting software that only vigorous training could cover up. Thanks to Jeff and his unending kindness he had helped me to regain my footing in the corporate world.I gave a gentle kiss to the sleeping baby and the list of instructions to my babysitter. We rarely need a babysitter because there would always be someone readily available for looking after our
The scoopWill they or won't they? Former influencer and model has set her cap on her ex-fiance again. They are spotted everywhere these days. Some of our sources found them together at Tiffany's. The heartthrob billionaire who had survived a drastic situation is now on a roll. He is rumoured to be in an open relationship with the said celebrity who is currently doing business. Last time their wedding didn't happen and her sister had stepped in. First, we all thought that their marriage had found love. But she left her husband soon. It was rumoured to be a contract marriage and she got paid twenty-five million. People close to the couple confirm that they are engaged. Let us see whether they make it to the aisle this time.I wished they didn't degrade me as a gold digger. I haven't made a twenty-five million dollars settlement with my husband. But it should hardly make a difference to me. I wasn't there. I was miles and miles away from them. They can't scratch on my wo
"Why are you wearing something good after a very long time?", commented Charlie who was back from work. She is now working harder than ever. Her girlfriend is on the verge of quitting the job. I think she is ready for a family. Her days of rebellion are over. She wants to settle down. I think Charlie is up to it. She already looks after Angel a lot."Angel finish the food", I ordered. She had a habit of leaving the food in the middle of eating.She looked at me with Defiance. It reminded me of Dane's stormy eyes while I did anything to displease him. She had a temper just like her father. But she is very silent and rarely talks. She calls me Mama that is it. I'm thirsty to hear her voice as it is. But she is adamant and very willful."Stop giving your mom that looks. You are reminding me of somebody", said Charlie with a grin.So she thought of it as well. We rarely mention Dane's name now. He is a forbidden topic in this household. I think everyone is trying to accommodate me by not
"I thought you said this was a small media company?", I asked him."It is small compared to BBC I guess", he said flippantly."You lied to me", I said to him."I didn't", he said trying to look innocent."Admit it. You said this was a local channel", I said not letting it go. Maybe I was at that time of the month."I consider it as an insult", said an executive who was an Arab woman but her language was very posh."I'm sorry I was brought here under pretences", I told her honestly."Why so?", she asked me."Because she hates any media and I want her to be here", said Jeff.He used to be very shy but now he was changed. He was doing business and talking to strangers is what he does for his job. His real estate business is expanding and Charlie used to work for him. But now she changed the job because she didn't want to work under a bossy man. She is now aiming to start her own business. I was amazed at her confidence and his. I still haven't found my route in this complex world."I'm s
The editing ran for a long time. I had to sit past Angel's bedtime and also mine. She was already asleep on my shoulder. I didn't know where Jeff was. I don't care. He might be outside or he might have gone back. I had watched the complete episode to be aired. Every shot that showed my daughter's face was deleted. I even asked them to cut my face. I hated to see my face on television at this point. I want no one to connect me and Jeff. I and Angel were invisible during our stay in Saudi Arabia. I want to continue that for the rest of my life."Are you satisfied?", asked the editor with a smile he was an Indian. I smiled at him. Normally no one sits for the editing after the interview. But now they had to cater to my whims ruining the perfect shots. But they helped me a lot. I would be forever grateful to them.They had arranged the transport for me to my hotel. I sighed when I felt my daughter move. My shoulder and arms were killing me. I cursed at the idea of ever coming with Jeff. I
