All Chapters of Forbidden Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Areena was sitting on the three-seater couch, sipping coffee alone in the early hours of the night. She hugged herself, even with the warm black turtleneck long-sleeve body-hug, soft cotton orange leggings and earmuffs the cold December breeze makes her shiver. She took another sip of her coffee then kept it on the center table looking at her phone screen.9:50 pm.Her eyes were glued on her phone, her lockscreen was a picture of her and a man, both smiling warmly at the camera. She sighed and kept the phone away, her gaze turning to the window, she stared at the street.Snow falls silently and gently on the street like diamonds, each snowflakes shimmered in the moonlight, making a white blanket of snow covering the trees, ground, and houses, indeed a beautiful day to be with someone you love.She heaved deeply and took another sip of the dark coffee she was holding and kept the steamy cup of coffee on the center table near her.And gulping the bitter-sweet liquid down her throat, and

Areena opened her eyes slowly, blinking them several times to get a clearer view as the bright light blinded her, she shut them close and opened them again to get a clear view of her surroundings.White curtains, the patient monitor beeping, and the omniscient smell of antiseptic, where is she? What happened to her? Her whole body feels numb. She closed her eyes, heaving slowly."Ed, drive... Drive."Before she closed her mouth the window glass splattered all over the car as the truck crashed into their car, her left hand felt numb as she heard the sound of her rib cracking, while her head hit the truck that was half inside their car.Her mind went back to the horrible event that happened. She opened her eyes quickly wanting to escape from the pain and horror, panting like a wolf. The machine next to her started beeping louder than before.Ed? Where is Edward? What happened to him? Is he alive?Her heart beats fast, and her breathing seizes. Making the machine beeps even louder.A sli

Areena walked to the gates, as she remembered some old memories of the school.Lonely, hurtful memories.She doesn't have any friends, so she is always seen alone, no one wants to interact with her. If they don't bully her or speak badly about her, they maintain their space.Knowing the situation well, she doesn't like to interact with them either. She gave them space, ate lunch in the garden, using the toilet during classes to avoid being in contact with them. And she never participates in any school activities that would make her stand out.She comes to school early every day, studies, and heads home as soon as her classmates and many students have been driven back home by their drivers.Everyone in the school had a personal driver, so the school Bus doesn't function anymore because nobody uses it.They closed by 3: pm. She walked down the quiet street, following the same route she used to follow seven years ago.The street near her school was quiet with few expensive cars passing b

It rained during the night which makes the weather suitable for sleep, making both the mother and daughter overslept. Areena usually leaves home around 7: 00 to find a taxi to drop her at school. And by school by 7: 30 or before that."Reeena, wake up." Her mother called from the door."We'll be late."She added, before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Areena always cooks them breakfast, being an early riser, she wakes up early, prepares them breakfast, and packs their lunch before she goes to school early. "What got into me?"She jolted out of bed. Check the time it is 7:30 already. She entered the bathroom fast, had a quick shower, and changed into her uniform in just a few minutes."Hurry, I packed your lunch."Her mother called, and she finally finished and came out of the room by 7:40. "Morning mom, I'll just eat at lunch."She greeted her mother, grabbing her lunch and putting it in her bag and she was about to go. "Morning, here, take this and eat in the taxi, I p

AreenaThe next day, Areena made sure she left home early, to avoid bumping into someone again. Nobody was inside the class when she entered as usual.She brought out the subject she missed yesterday and went through them, where she stopped from her revision last night.Her mother's teary eyes flashed in her brain.She wanted to keep it away from her mother since she was not called by the school authority. But when her mother saw her bandage fingers she didn't let her go unquestioned.She even threatened to call the principal and asked him herself. Being the drama queen she is, she could. So, Areena had no choice, and told her mother everything, not skipping the part about how Ed protected her.Her mother was pleased by his act and said she'll thank him whenever they met. Even when knowing they'll not. Areena chuckled at her mom's funny self.Time passed while she revised her books quietly as her classmates began to come. The more they came the more they talked about her and how Ed w
