EIGHTY

Diane and Nicholas silently walked back to her house, their hands linked together. Diane admitted to herself that she had a nice, quiet time with Nicholas and she enjoyed it. She had forgotten how much she enjoyed her time with Nicholas, how much she cherished every moment they spent together.As they walked, he squeezed her hand softly. She looked up at him and saw him smiling down at her. “What’s making you so happy?” She questioned.“You,” he whispered and she let out a small smile, quickly looking away as her cheeks reddened.They eventually got to the front of her house but Nicholas held on to her hand, unwilling to let her go. “Diane,” he said, “there is something I’d like to tell you.”“Um? I’m listening,” she answered.He was silent for a while. Then, he blurted out, “I know where Malvika is.”Diane stared at him, her face changing from neutral to shocked. “You know?” she questioned and he nodded his head. “Are you saying you knew all these while?” she demanded and Nicholas qu

EIGHTY ONE

Diane sat in the car beside Nicholas, mute, as Nicholas's driver drove to the airport. The both of them had hurriedly packed a few things ranging from their personal belongings to their phones. Diane turned on her phone and quickly scrolled through her contact list. She clicked in Sheila, her personal assistant's number and dialed it. After a few rings, Sheila answered the call. “Hey, Sheila,” Diane said in a small voice. “Something urgent came up and I won’t be coming to work for a few days….. Yes. Tell Ariana that I’ve tried her number so many times…… I’m counting on you to keep the place together until I return. Good. Bye,” She said and ended the call. Then, she sighed and leaned backwards, relaxing into the car seat. “How are you feeling?” “Exhilarated,” Diane replied with another sigh. “This feels weird, like we are running away or something.” “Like eloping?” Nicholas asked with a chuckle. “Hmmm….. except we aren’t. We are merely going after my sister who took off days ago.” S

EIGHTY THREE

Malvika rolled around in bed, yawning and squeezing her eyes shut. She stayed put on the bed for a while with her eyes closed before she finally opened them. Reaching her hands out, she grabbed her phone and turned it on. Her eyes blinked twice when she saw the time. Half last nine? Oh shit, shit, shit, she thought as she scrambled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom hurriedly. Today was Friday and well, since she got a job at the restaurant yesterday, she was pretty sure that she was supposed to be there by now. Damn it. She had never had a job before, so, she had never gotten used to waking up early for one. And now that she had one, she was about to royally fuck things up.She had a quick bath and quickly slipped on a pair of jean trousers, a top and some sneakers. She grabbed her phone, her purse and a comb. Then, she hurried out of the room, towards the elevator and out of the hotel. As she rushed outside, she saw the guy who switched shifts with Haley and quickly said

EIGHTY FOUR

"What are you doing here?" Malvika asked in a trembling and yet shocked voice. She kept her gaze on Diane, unable to look at Nicholas. She had thought that running away to start a new life would wipe away the thoughts of her sins and mistakes. Who was she kidding? She should have known that Nicholas and Diane would go to all lengths to find her. And now, here she was, facing everything she had tried to run away from. She needed to get away from them as soon as she could, otherwise, she feared she would break down. "That's what we are here to ask you," Diane snapped. Sensing that Diane was on the verge of losing her cool, Nicholas stepped forward and held Diane's hand. "Malvika, we just want to talk.""Did me leaving without dropping a message not give you the memo? I don't want to talk to you." Saying this, she brushed past them violently, heading to the elevator. Behind her, she could hear their hurried footsteps."Malvika!" Diane yelled, ignoring the stares she got from the people

EIGHTY FIVE

Diane sat in her office, her eyes focused on the papers in front of her as she tried to shuffle them together and arrange them. She had no idea what she was doing though. All she knew was that she needed to pack up before Nicholas came to pick her up for their date. But she couldn't concentrate. Her mind kept wandering and the only thought it kept wandering to was that of Malvika. She kept thinking of Malvika. It had been two weeks since she saw Malvika last, since Malvika basically told her without mincing words that she didn't want to have any thing to do with Diane or her family for now. Why? She wondered but she couldn't come up with an answer. Why will Malvika pick now, of all times, to cut off ties with her family? What happened? What went wrong? But Malvika had not been forthcoming with any reply. Instead, she and insisted that Nicholas and Diane go home and not contact her. But Diane, being Diane, had tried to call her when she arrived back at New York all to no avail. Malvik

"Ardelle, stop it," Malvika called out to the six year old girl who was by the kitchen table, dipping all of her fingers into the flour and rubbing it on her face. Ardelle looked up and grinned cheekily at Malvika who sighed and walked towards her. She grabbed the kid and placed her between the ten year old sister – Keisha and the four year old brother – Anthony. Keisha, Ardelle and Anthony were Haley's nieces and nephew, the kids Malvika was babysitting. She had gotten the job, thanks to Haley and she had been working for about two weeks now. She couldn't really say that she enjoyed the job, especially since she wasn't an expert with kids but the pay was great and so, Malvika didn't complain. She still kept her job as a waitress at the restaurant though, not because she enjoyed it but because it gave her an opportunity to earn more money when she wasn't taking care of Keisha, Ardelle and Anthony.Right now, she was trying to bake doughnuts for the kids. After binge watching almost e

EIGHTY SEVEN

Diane twirled in front of the mirror, her face beaming with smiles. She was dressed in sleeveless red dress that hugged her body and showed off all her curves. Natasha stood beside her, her eyes roaming around Diane's reflection in the mirror. "Okay, you look fabulous."Diane giggled. "I know." She was so excited. She and Nicholas were going on another of their many dates and she couldn't help feeling giddy. Things were finally looking up in their relationship. They were taking it slow, just going on dates and Nicholas was so attentive and sweet. "Nick is going to be so excited to see you. You look like you just stepped out of a runway," Natasha commented. Diane rolled her eyes. "Okay, enough with the flatteries, Natasha. I need help with my shoes and jewelries.""Help, coming right up," Natasha replied dramatically as she bounced towards the shoe rack. She scanned the shoes with her eyes. "Okay, okay. This is a little too flashy," she said, touching a bright pink heels. She touched

EIGHTY EIGHT

Malvika pushed the door to the house open, relieved that neither Haley not Sharon were in the living room, and headed to her room. The house was one she shared with Haley and Sharon (Haley's friend). She had moved in about a week ago and it had been nice having them around. They were nice to her and they treated her like a friend. Usually, whenever she came back from work, Sharon was always cooking her something to eat and she liked that. But not today. Today, she didn't want to see anyone. Clutching her bag in her hand, she headed for the toilet that they all shared. As soon as she walked in, she slammed the door close. She dug her hands into her bag and brought out the pregnancy test kit she had bought earlier today. She tore it open and picked out the stick. ------------After about three torturous minutes, Malvika opened her eyes and raised the stick to her face. A wave of panic crashed over her as she saw the two lines on the stick. All that kept ringing in her head was 'shit,

EIGHTY NINE

"Does Diane know I'm going to be here," Natasha asked Nicholas as they both climbed out of the car. Nicholas opened the back doors and the two of them grabbed the nylons and shopping bags on the seats. They walked towards the door."No," Nicholas replied. "She doesn't know," he said. "You are supposed to help me prepare for the date and she can't know about it, remember?""So, when she comes, am I going to sneak back out or what?""I don't know. You can do anything you want," he answered and she frowned. "Maybe going back home will be a good idea," he added and she nodded. As he pushed the door open and walked in, Natasha asked, "So, what's so special about this date that you want to make it a surprise?""Well..... drop the bags on the table," he instructed and she did as he said. "I'm just.... I'm thinking of asking her to move back in with me," he muttered. Natasha whirled around, stunned by his words. "You want her to move in with you," she repeated and he nodded. "Yeah, I want

"Good morning ma'am," the nurse standing behind the counter greeted Malvika in a brisk, Curt but polite tone. She glanced up at Malvika, her eyebrows quirked up. "How may I help you?""I'm here for a pregnancy test," Malvika answered in the quiet time that she had been using the past few days. It had been three days since she took a pregnancy test at home. Haley and Sharon had advised her to take a proper test at the hospital to confirm first but she had been so reluctant to do it. It felt so much better to leave be in denial than to come out and face reality. But eventually, she realized that she couldn't continue running away from it. She needed to face the reality. "I'm here for the pregnancy test," she repeated and watch as the woman's brows shot up in a judgmental look. "I heard the first time," she answered, taking a subtle glance at Malvika's fingers. She drew out a drawer and brought a form. "Why don't you fill this out form first?" she asked. Malvika collected the form. "Al
