Now there are two people on the earth who are extremely happy getting what we want.
I snuggled with Panda teddy in my hand while Kiara couldn't get over her Winnie The Pooh.
The rest of the evening we enjoyed the Carnival Night Show.
Kiara looked amused. I enjoyed it thoroughly too. My usual weekends haven been gone pretty much-doing nothing. Sitting at home, either sleeping or overthinking about my life with Kiara. But now, I love how the Saturday went sparkling yet loving when it spends with Alexander and I was looking forward to the next weekend as well.

I let out a dreamy breath looking around after coming out of the airport. Stepping in Malaysia, the metropolitan town Kuala Lumper, the most famous business hub in Southeast Asia, awestrucked me. The more my eyes wander everywhere, I could get a sight of its ethnicity, it's culture, the business among people, yet the free-spirited hint in the air. I felt bewildered witnessing at the culture here. "Alizeh!" I flinched a little hearing of my boss's voice. I glanced at Mr. O'Neil. "This way," He gestured at his car. I realized standing alone and staring at the city view. I ran to match his steps while looking around in a hope to catch Alexander there. I glanced behind and found Alexander stand
Waterpark - I never felt this excited before especially to go out with Alexander again. Like last time in the carnival, this time also it's gonna be fun. Because he isn't just an acquaintance or ex-boyfriend for me, but now I can say we were looking more of each other. I wore a casual purple tee and ripped jeans. I packed some essentials in my backpack. My mobile, sanitizer, towel in case. And what should I take? Not taking many heavy things. I checked my luggage and shuffled some clothes to see what I have packed. My eyes caught the pair of bikini. Anna will never fail to amuse me. Even though I
Alizeh's POV I found Layla sitting alone on the bench and crying. I went near her. As if she felt my presence near her, she immediately wiped her tears and looked up at me. "Hi" I greeted with a little bit of hesitancy. I was clueless on how to comfort sad people. But when she smiled at me, I felt a little relieved. "You are here! What a pleasant surprise!" I exclaimed hoping she would forget why she was sad. Her teary eyes sparkled and her warm smile made me feel calm. "We meet the right people at the right time, isn't it true?" I nodded. Her words held some depth. The restless feeling in my mind was gone. I sat next to her. For the rarest moments of my life, I felt there wasn't any need for words to be with someone. We sat together in the silence, under the hazy moonli
The Night What is happening to me? When Mr. O'Neil asked me to join the party, I said to him no. But when Alexander asked me. I couldn't say No. I was thinking while applying some light makeup on my face. I wore a peach-colored gown with flowers printed on it. Sofia gifted me this dress on my last year's birthday. The specialty of this dress is, it's damn comfortable. After sprinkling some of Calvin Klein's perfume, I breathed deeply looking at myself in the mirror. I have straightened my hair, letting it float behind. I noticed it has grown long, reaching till my waist. Ready to meet Alexander. I picked my mobile and checked if there is any network, but to my dismay, the network bars has still
Alizeh's POV Next morning All of the things happening with me felt unreal. Alexander was my first love, and very few people get that fate to be with their first love again. I walked ahead and saw him standing in the hotel lobby area. I could feel myself smiling ear to ear when I saw someone else with him, my heart drummed faster. As I reached closer to him, I found Monica. "Hi, good morning Alexander" I greeted him. He stood by my side immediately, giving me a sense of relief. "Morning Elijeh," He said with a smile but not that same smile I was used to seeing. He looked a lit
Alizeh's POV Weeks passed in a blink of an eye. My relationship with Alexander has been going smoothly. But that doesn't mean we weren't having any quarrels with each other. It is going to be completed two months already and it's the 150th time we were arguing about going to the club or not. Being an introvert, I have never gone out with too many people. It stresses me out. While we were arguing at the coffee machine spot, Mr O'Neil came at the same time. "Alizeh, is there any problem? Hello young man. "Mrs O'Neil looked at Alexander. "Hello, Mrs O'Neil. I'm Alexander Wines, from the laws department. I just came here
Alizeh's POV I heard the sound of a car coming near me. I started walking at a fast pace. "Are you okay?" I heard a female voice. Even though I walked faster the car easily cut the space. "Hey isn't that you, the sandal girl, Alizeh?" When I heard the same female voice calling me, I stopped and looked at the car. "Who are you?" I asked cryingly, putting my hand in my purse and searching for the pepper spray. I held it in front of them
Alizeh's POV I wanted to take a day off from work but couldn't. My lack of self-confidence and not being so good at handling my shattering self didn't let me sleep peacefully. In the office, I was in the hope to meet Alexander once and clear the mess I was feeling in my head. An urge to not give up on him pushed me ahead. At the coffee machine spot, we met again but he was quick to go. I decided to catch him during lunch. When he didn't come to my cubicle, like he usually does, I decided to go where he usually sits with his friends. The cafe near the office building. As I entered the cafe, my eyes caught Alexander sitting at the table and enjoying his time with his friends. A smile appeared on my face looking at him smiling. I saw Monica with him too. Too much to my dismay he has been still hanging out with her. Something got over me. Her presence itself got into my nerve
Alizeh’s POV Nervousness, sheer excitement, heartbeats pacing up and down, and your mind feeling wishful for the future, all these emotions are like a piece of jewelry for a soon-to-be bride. Yes, I am finally going to be a bride. Today, while looking at myself in the mirror all dolled up as a bride I can't believe my destiny has finally led me till here. All the way I have cursed my destiny for not being with me but now finally the love knocked on the door of my heart. I am getting ready for my love, Layla. Since the day she proposed to me, we have never looked back. Every day with her passed like a new day in my life. She always left me surprised. We thanked God for breaking my sandals that day and Layla forgetting the address, so we could come across the reason for helping each other but never thought we would be bound by hearts. After staying in
Alizeh's POV The next day arrived with some chaotic unwanted trips. My mother forcefully took me for dinner at Issac's home, leaving Kiara behind with Anna. My mind was still eating up with previous incidents. He welcomed us to his small house, located nearby the beautiful lake. His mother came out just to see me. Then both parties greeted each other. My mother appeared ecstatic. "What happened?" I asked him. "I will check her. You both become comfortable" he said and went behind his mother. I sighed thinking about how to be comfortable when his mother has already shown her disagreement. I looked at Kiara who was in her world, looking around the house. It has less furniture and looks quite spacious. After a while, Issac came out with his mother. We sat at the dining table, in s
Alizeh's POV I closed my eyes, fighting not to cry. When Alexander finally left, suddenly I felt scared for unknown waves coming at me. But this was it. This time I understood what I don't want, which is I can't settle for less even if it comes with more. I covered my face with palms and let the tears flow down. "Ali" Kiara's soft voice fell on my ears. I immediately wiped my teary eyes and looked at her. "Yeah" I tried to keep my voice clear. "I'm sorry," she said. "It's okay" I said and she smiled showing her crooked teeth. And just like that, we were back again. "Are you really going to marry Layla?"
Alizeh's POV Acoupleofdays have passed in a week, but there are still three daysleftfor Layla'sreturn.I haven't got a chance to talk to him as she is busy. Everything from everyone's life has come back to normal. Olive has returned to her apartment with Kevin and their baby. They also held a baby shower and naming ceremony which we all attended. The baby boy's name was finalized on Omar. Anna was back on her normal routine but this time she has changed her perception towards dating and men. Thank God. Bella has returned here again but her husband has gone out of town. Sofia hasn't changed her life much. She looked pretty busy with her two kids. Recently her late husband's brother visited her and since then she seemed to be a little
Alizeh's POV Layla pulled over her car near my apartment. We got out of it together. I shook Kiara to wake up but she was unbothered. It's nearly 4 am. I picked her up in my arms. My God, she is turning heavier. I walked ahead while I could feel Layla's continuous stare at me. I couldn't walk ahead because of how she held my eyes. She shook his head, smiling a little. "Thank you, for being there with all of us," I felt relieved. "Mention not. Besides, I love to be around you" she pinched my cheeks. I smiled so much, feeling my warmth rushing up to my cheeks. "I wish I could tell you something tonight but it's not possible." Her words churned my heart. I somehow knew she was hinting to tell me something, which I already knew but still I did not come to the conclusion. "Never mi
Alizeh's POV "Alizeh, please help. It's painting a lot" Olive cried holding her heavy belly. I gasped looking at her state. She screamed in between too which clenched my heart. "Wait, let me call an ambulance," I gasped and ran inside. I heard Olive screaming in pain again. "What happened?" Layla panicked. Macmillan looked at Olive. A scream let out from her mouth when she saw him "Macmillan! Oh my god!" Uh-oh girl this isn't a time for fangirling. I was searching for the ambulance number in the directory. "I don't know, she is in pain. I need to call an ambulance" I said and glanced at her. She was holding Olive by hand. "Ali, I think she is having contractions." She said "What? What's that?"&n
Alizeh's POV "And then it was the lowest grade she has ever got" I talked about Kiara's teacher, Issac Gray to Layla. She intently listened to me. "It's fine Ali. She will get back on track again. I trust Kiara. She seems intelligent" She said, sipping her coffee. "But not in mathematics, I don't know what else I can do for her. I think I should find a good tutor for her" I put up my idea at the same time I wanted to bang my head on something. Come on, she is a daughter of a woman who works in the finance department who can't poop in the subjects like mathematics! Layla looked at me." How about I tutor her?" My breathing hitched. "You? Are you s-sure?" "I have done this before, besides mathematics is my favorite subject. I will teach her if you want and for that
When I opened my eyes, it all felt like a nightmare. Kiara was sitting in front of me. I got up and leaped into a hug, pulling her closer to my chest. Never before have I felt like this. Losing her is the worst possible thing life can give me. My eyes fell on Anna, Sofia, and Edward. Edward came ahead and sat beside me. "Are you okay hun?" Anna gave me a glass of water. I drank it hurriedly. "I'm okay guys. Sorry to disturb you all" I murmured looking down. "Now you have disturbed, tell us what has happened?" Anna sat beside me with a questioning face. I shook my head sideways. I couldn't even dare to utter those words as they ached my heart. Anna let out a sigh. Edward patted my head gently. "Let her get some rest. We will talk about it when she will want" I thanked Edward. After everybody left
Alizeh's POV The other day, while doing the work my phone rang. When I checked the phone, it was MacMillan. I received it one go. "Bambolina, SOS, come down fast I am waiting," he sounded in hurry and without letting me ask anything about what and why he cut the call. I grabbed my purse hastily cursing him and walked towards the elevator. After coming out of the elevator, I walked out of the building and saw Macmillan's car. He peeped his head out of the car and waved his hand at me. I walked at him, meanwhile, he got down from the car and opened the door for me. "What happened?" I asked while getting in. "A major problem has occurred," He sounded concerned and serious while running back to his car and getting in. "Okay, but what is it exactly?" I put my seatbelt on while he adjusted once glanced at him
