CHAPTER 11
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A soft knock on the door throbbed Mike to wake up. He opened the door a few inches, just enough for a peep and Laura was standing on the other end with the most adorable smile. Her face fell flat with eyes searching through Mike’s appearance–Messy hair, swollen face, barely open eyes, and shirtless well-defined body.
“Mike, you are still asleep? Get ready. We are going to be late for breakfast. Chop chop!!!” she has always been the edgy, neat, and organized one, chasing all the other 4 towards ‘betterment’.
Mike couldn’t muster the energy to open his mouth and reply to her or frankly, even her image is still blurry to him. Hovering between planets, he gave her just a thumbs up. Closing the slit opening shut, he wobbled around to find Sarah still sleeping, buried overhead into the white cotton quilt.

Dusky morning light painted the room with an amber, honey flavor. Mike stirred out of sleep and immediately his brain began searching for Sarah. She was still next to him but wide awake like an owl. Flipped on her stomach and quilt capped over her head with her eyes fixated at the window will full-blown fascination. “Sarah, what are– “Mike couldn’t finish his words as Sarah pressed a finger over his lips in a rush and pointed over the headboard. “Look” she whispered and Mike mimicked her position, laying low and turned to look. It was a buck outside their window, feasting on some low shrubs, accompanied by some naughty squirrels jumping around. Mike took a long-inhaled air, much-needed oxygen replenishing. Such a majestic animal, dappled with royalty even when they are bowed at
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 13
The missing piece of the earth now has guests, bombarding it with their laughter, water splashing, and short-lived yelps. Minutes tumbled off with them laid like lifeless mannequins on the banks, side by side. Traveling back in time every once in a while, forgetting all the burdens, responsibilities, and additional facial lines that come with aging; like the little innocent child, is a piece of cake with a company like Sarah. But with his internal tornado under a gasket lid, she is an unnecessarily tempting company with her now pink flushed soft skin, radiating morning glow on the highest points of her face. The water had successfully outlined her curves and it means to be missed by a man. Some secrets are better left ‘un-outlined’!. Each line in her lips seemed deeper, whining for attention and his lips are throbbing in response. In desperate need of a diversion, he proposed to go back to the cliff in the name of air drying. Not too much

His eyes landed on Sarah, on the edge of the high stool, wearing a white blouse with puffed short sleeves and a knee-high floral print, light pink handkerchief skirt. A glint in his eyes. He is doubly sure that she is the one but he gulped down confrontation before knowing her actual problem. Rubbing his close trimmed chin, he walked to her, deep in his own thoughts. He was wearing a smart black suit and a brown shirt with 2 top buttons opened. “You look like a mafia boss more than a doctor. How do your patients trust you?” she teased him with a gentle smile on her face, to be replied by a glare. He plops a Mac Donald paper bag in front of her and thrust his hand back into his pocket, looking down at her. It seems that there is a hidden agenda with this childhood friend of his. Apparently,3 years was enough for her to be so. Sarah’s eye brightened up at the paper bag and her fingers wasted no time to dug into fries, stuffing her mouth. With a muffled voice “Is

Eagerly awaited sun to arise, Mike marched into his clinic and made some arrangements. He postponed a few existing appointments and froze intake of any new ones for the rest of the week, channeling all his attention to Sarah. After running a few errands, he was free to stalk Sarah and so, drove straight to Imperial Restaurant. A light grey suit, light grey pants, and a white shirt neatly layering his tall masculine frame with sharp facial features– he was a standout and exceptional than any other in the restaurant. His eyes pinpoint to Sarah sitting alone by the glass wall as soon as he entered– a single white rose would have to weep in her feet. Sarah’s eye widened as soon as she saw Mike but Mike shook his head slightly, signaling her to not react. He sat at a table across from Sarah and typed a message to her ‘We both haven’t seen Suman. So don’t react, he might be somewhere here. Just ignore me’ Mike sent out the message. For that ‘IG

It’s Friday and the 2 friends got ready with casual dressing to go side visits. Mike had to drag the call to Santha because Sarah is with him. The first building his realtor presented itself was impressive. The brief walk through the premise was convincing enough that this could be the best suit. A possible outcome of the building layout played within his mind-cell, confining all his needs in one spot. “So, where is your real estate office?” his deep baritone laced with the calmness of a 90-year-old, didn’t help but to bamboozle Sarah. She hasn’t finalized anything about his offer. Her well-kept silence was enough to give her away. With a sigh, Mike sat on the security guard’s motorbike and lit up a cigarette. His feet were flat on the ground even though he was completely seated on the bike. The short sl

Mike and the ‘unknown man’ are playing in the lane next to them, so obviously he was eavesdropping. There were also a few other players in the following lanes, focused on their game, weighing their aim. Suman waved his hand and a target board came in front of them. One of his subordinates placed a bow into his raised hand, which he held graciously and swung to his front, adjusting his arrow placement. Seeing this, Sarah became tensed. “Wait, we are starting? I told you, I haven’t touched the bow in years” she exclaimed a tad, not something he is used to.“Then use this as your training ground! I told you, we will play till you win me” he already aimed at the board. “That is not fair!!! You are forcing me and I’m sorry I am not interested in this bet” she turn

Squeals and giggles filled the contemporary space, as the girls got together, throwing their best pitch for the nightclub. Cloths, heels, and towels piled up on Sarah’s bed. Sarah stared at them blankly, sitting crossed leg on her bed as they flashed pieces of garments, hanging from cloth hangers around their neck–shifting to a facepalm– then to hide behind her palm– then her cheek rested on her palm, yawning. It is not an easy job for 3 girls to get ready simultaneously and it took almost 2 whole hours, before any signs of wrapping up were seen in the room Shoulders slumped, yawns erupted and huffs of exhaustion lingered around the dining table. A couple of shuttle clicks ended the games on their phone when they heard clucking footsteps from upstairs. Their eyes naturally focused on the source and darted up, Mike, especially on Sarah. The black, sleeveless bodycon molesting Sarah
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 19
The heat from late Sunday afternoon, pierced through the sheer curtain, gently taping on Mike’s back–the one thing he hates about this new room of his and the one thing Sarah refused to give in–SHEER CURTAINS. With a low groan, he sat up washing his face with his dry palm. The punch in the throat was an obvious sign of dehydration as he staggered downstairs, wearing only a pair of jeans. Shirtless, to be precise. A pair of plump butt cheeks was the only living thing he could see downstairs, as Sarah had submerged her head into the refrigerator, scavenging for food. With swollen eyes and heavy feet, he paced up to her and gently touched the back of her spine. In a snap, a girlish scream erupted from within the refrigerator as Sarah jumped out, wide-eyed and

Robert and Mike came back to the hospital by 11 am. They had recollected themselves, taken a hot shower which helped calm their nerves a lot, and packed some clothes for the girls and themselves as they will not be staying in the house for a while. Investigations will soon take place and they don’t want to mess up with the evidence. Mike took the black box with him, though. He couldn’t leave it behind to the police officers, the only memory of his child. The advancing hour didn’t consulate a thing. “Jessica's heart rate has stabilized but we plan to keep her under anesthesia for at least a week. A patient recovering from rape usually will have traumatic effects when they wake up. We don’t want her to move a lot and risk tearing her stitches. But…” that was the most dreadful ‘BUT’ they had ever heard “Sarah…” the doctor sighed out “Her blood pressure is still unstable…and… she had slipped into a coma…we

It took a solid 6 hours for the surgery and the sun mists across the horizon when the doctor finally came out. She looks weak herself as she stood in front of Mike and blows empty her lungs. “We did our best to treat their wound. Surgeries for Jessica is over but Sarah would need another and immediately.” She observed each of the people’s faces in front of her. “I’m sorry to say, she needs a D&C immediately” the doctor thrust her hands into her coat pocket. “D&C??? Why?” The term D&C or Dilation and Curettage is nothing new to him– a procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus but he is baffled of why Sarah would need one. “Her pregnancy didn’t make it. We lost the baby’s heartbeat and it is already detaching from the mother’s womb” Santha snapped open her m

Mike switched off his car, eyeing the house carefully. Pitch dark, something unusual for the girls. “What happens to the lights?” Mike “They are probably sleeping on the sofa” Robert shrugged off Mike’s doubt. Regardless, Mike climbed down the car and went straight to the door while Robert shook his head and went to the booth, unloading their luggage. “ROBERT!!!” not even a minute after, his scream draw blood to shrink in his vein and he rushed into the house. Everything in a mess, the whole house thrashed. There, Mike kneeled down to the sides of a lifeless woman, thudding his palms violently against her chest. Robert's heart leaped to his mouth as he flashed across the hall. He plopped on his kneel next to Jessica and started untying her hand from the dining table. Mike is pumping her chest with force, exhaling sharp at each push but Jessica she remains motionless,

Sarah slowly blinked open her eye. The flesh prying pain on her spine yields back a 3-Dimensional world under her feet. A sort of electrical tickle ringed over her ears and cold touched her skin, sending a shiver to radiate through her body. Profuse sweat covered her face and it chilled once she regained her consciousness. Her breathing constricted at the disabling pain. She forced her eye to regain their visual and regret it the minute they did. Jessica squirmed in front of her. Her hands are tied to the dining table leg as she laid flat on her stomach, partially dressed. Her skirt is missing, exposing her to brutally in the form of a man, standing behind her, thrusting his erect manhood through her butt hole. Her scream was muffled due to the cloth tape sealing her lips. Sarah gasped sh
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 61
Mike and Robert had been planning the proposal behind Sarah’s back. Just a week away from the proposal date. From their anniversary, the day she confessed her feelings with a drop of tear, legs wrapped around his waist. “What meeting??? I didn’t know we had anything scheduled” Sarah vented out her frustration, sitting on the bed with her arms across her chest. “It's a last-minute thing and we have to go, baby…Please...” Mike, busy laying out his clothes in his luggage. “I understand that, but why can’t I follow you? I will be really good girl, pleaseeeee….” Her palms joined in prayer with a sad face and puppy eyes for added effect. Mike let out a quick sigh and pulled her to his chest. His finger now caressing her cheeks. “You have been very weak lately, aren’t you? Always looking pale and you feel dizzy quite often, ever since the 4G project took off. You can only rest on weekends. I don’t want you to get more worn out than you already are.” He place

Returning to work diverts Sarah and having a little bit more extensive socialization has done well for Sarah. She slowly regained momentum and propel ahead in these 2 months. On the contrary, Mike seems to have difficulties focusing on his work ever since Sarah came back. The added curve and extra glow on her cheeks demand another glance– another touch or kiss, perhaps, ever so often. The whole office floor emptied for lunch except for Sarah. Numbers blurred her mind and she lost track of time. After making some corrections, she heads to the copier room. Mike, who had just come back from his clinic, noticed the whole floor subjected to pin-drop silence except for the shuffle from the copier room. He peeped in to find Sarah, singing a song in a funny, squeaky voice while the machine in front of her whirled
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 59
As a consequence of the unnerving event, Sarah was ‘forced’ to stay at her mother's house for a week. Not exactly the serene getaway doctors prescribe since the other 3 kept calling her every hour of the day. Mother’s constant love and home-cooked food made her recover mentally and physically. “You look a bit chubby!!!” those were the first word uttered by Jessica when she walked into Santha’s house, being bluntly real as she usually is, leaving Sarah to scoff. Mike followed behind Jessica and instantly leaned closer to her ears for a whisper “Making you a little bit curvier and sexier as hell, baby” “Miss you too Mike” she rolled her eyes at Mike as he hugged her by her neck and dented her cheeks with his impact called kissed. Robert is next in line and hugged Sarah, lifting her off the floor a few inches “Get your hands off my girl” Mike slapped Roberts hand playfully, to which he just chuckled “He is a bit insecure” Robert winked at Sarah
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 58
Every human has a good side and a hidden bad side. They carry their baggage to their grave. So did Mike. He gave his word to Dr. Ajay under solid ground and his evil side surfaced as he took revenge for the prank or precisely, harassing phone call she received earlier. Rewind a few hours ago, when he set motion to his fury. A small room with dingy single bed portraits nothing but melancholy and lonely. The hallway leading to the room shadowed by a dying light bulb, making it difficult to see anything around midnight. There lays a man, who once was glorious, rich, and handsome as well as drooling material among girls– Suman Mehtra. Unfortunately for him, Mike’s traced the landline number from Sarah’s phone to central jail, where he is serving time now, exactly 4 months and another 2 to go. Consequences– a few cel
SWEETHEART CHAPTER 57
Lifeless and unconscious, just like the water body at the foot of an iceberg tip, Sarah laid there in her bed. No protest. No nightmares. “Her blood pressure dropped drastically. I have given an injection to stabilize her. She may have trouble balancing herself in the morning, so someone please be by her side. I would highly advise to bring her to the hospital once she is better” Dr.Nora gave a word of caution as she prepared to leave. However, a wide frame crossed her path, blocking her from taking a step further out of the room. The crease fallen face with threading veins up his neck made her sigh. Dr.Nora had a feeling that she won’t be able to leave without comforting him. The old lady with middle-of-the-night under-eye bag gently smile as she cupped his face with a palm “Don’t worry Mike, she is fine. Just need some rest, ok?”. Her words don’t seem to affect the ex
