THE REJECTION After five years
Ella's POVAfter five years.“Mommy, where are you. I am out of school already.” I hear my daughter say. She is in baby school now. She was almost five years old. A big girl, I guess. Beautiful and charming. “I am here, my baby, come hug me.” I say to her as I come out of the bedroom. I see her rushing towards me. And I open my arms to hug her. “I miss you, mummy.” She says, and this melts my heart. She has been a source of strength to me. Every time I am with her, I feel so happy and contented.“I miss you too, baby girl. How was school today?” I asked her.“It was good, mummy. I made many friends today, and Lucy is one of them. She is so pretty, mummy. I want you to meet her one day.” She says. She is so friendly, and I know she takes after me. Even though she resembled Felix but not his character, and I was so grateful for that.“Ooh, I see. I will surely meet her one day.” I say.Likewise, I remember when I had her. When I held her for the first time in my arms. So tiny and be
THE REJECTION The disapointment
Luca's POVEver since I met Ella, my life took a U-turn. I was so happy, and I have never been so happy in my life before.

THE REJECTION Parents meeting
Luca's POVWe reach the school and the parents have already arrived. It is like we were the ones who came late because some parents were already seated, and we were not entering the school hall.“Please sir, madam, come and sit over here.” I hear one of the teachers saying to us. She showed us where to sit, and we obeyed and followed her. Laura left us to join her friends. She was so happy that I had agreed to be here with her, I could tell from the way she was smiling.“The school is perfect, Ella.” I said to her to break the silence between us since the meeting had not yet started, she was so quiet it was like we were strangers and I really hated this. I could not understand why she was behaving in such a manner with me.“Yeah, I see that, Luca. That is why I chose this school for my daughter, It has good teachers too. They never disappoint when it comes to teaching.” She says, and she looks at me straight into my eyes. Our eyes meet, and I feel her love for me growing even stronge
THE REJECTION Last day at work
Sarah's POVFelix is so boring. It has been five years now of us being together, but I feel like I can't continue with this relationship anymore. I don't know what I saw in him that was so good, but now the goodness is no longer there. I just don't know how to tell him that I no longer want him in my life, being with him is so suffocating.Every day, there was nothing new in our relationship. He was the most unromantic person I have ever met in my life. I regret the day I decided to be with him. I just wish he had pushed through that day because I don't think I can continue with him any longer. It is too much for me already, plus my past is haunting me. My sweet past when I was much younger. I want to go back to that life again. I feel like my past is calling me. “Come back Sarah, we miss you” I feel this sound inside of me each time I am alone in the house.Flashback.I remember months back I was at my workstation. I heard an incoming message on my phone.Felix – hey, baby.Me. — hell
THE REJECTION Street food
Ella's POVI agree to Luca's request to have ice cream with him. I think he just wanted to help he with Laura, since he has been so curious to know about her daddy. The man who has hurt me the most in this life. I never want to meet with him again in this life. I despise him, and there is no way I will let him know we have a daughter together. Never.These past few days, Laura has been pestering me about her dad, and I don't know what to tell her anymore. She is just about to turn five years old. She is still too young for her to ask about her father. I guess I will tell her when she is much older, but not now, She is too young to understand what her dad did to me.“Let's us go Ella” I gear Luca's voice. This whole time I have stood at one point just thinking about Felix. I feel bad that my daughter is being hurt by all these. I know it is hard for her when other students in her class talk about their dads, and she has nothing, not even one memory about her dad.“Let's go.” I say as I
THE REJECTION Cold treatment
Luca's POVWe are at the ice cream shop and we are already done eating it.“Thank you uncle. This is the best day I have ever had.” Laura says, smiling. I was glad she was happy, that was what I always wanted from her. Her smile was the most valuable thing to me.“You are welcome, my angle. It is time to go home now. It is getting late, and we have to get you to bed early.” I say as we get out of the shop. It seemed like I had managed to make Laura forget about her dad today. I was sure she was not going to ask Ella questions about her dad today.We immediately leave and started heading home. It was a twenty-minute drive back home and I could tell Laura was exhausted because she fell asleep as soon as I started driving. This day had been really long for her.“Luca, thank you for all the things you have done for us today.” I hear Ella saying to me.“Ella, you know I can do anything for you. I love you both so much, and I consider you my family.” I find myself saying.“Luca. We have tal
