Three Years Later
Astrid’s POV
“Yes!” I cut the call and ran downstairs. God, this mess is really messy.
The doorbell rang just as I reached downstairs. I opened it and ran back to the kitchen.
“Why are you running?” Noah’s voice stopped me.
“Well, I have to go to the hospital, in case you don’t remember” I replied, going to the kitchen and taking my stuff.
“I will go with you too” he said.
“Ah, well… you just came. I can manage” I denied and was going to the gate when he sighed.
“What?” I asked him.
“When will you return?”
“Night”
“It is morning” he insisted. “Please come back fast”
“I will try” I smiled lightly and he nodded with a cute smile.
“Bye!”
“Bye” I made my
Astrid’s POVI decided to leave mom’s house to get to a lawyer and apply for divorce. I got up and went to the door. As I opened it and went outside, a voice scared me.“Astrid”I looked at my right side and Noah was standing with his head down. “Don’t do this”“Don’t do what?” I didn’t expect him to know where I was going.“You think I don’t know where you are going? Astrid please try to understand. Don’t do this. This is too much--”“Yeah, too much, right. And about the fact that you hid everything from me? Yeah, it isn’t big now, is it?”“It… it is, Astrid, but…”“I don’t know and I don’t care, Noah, not anymore. I am done trusting and caring and getting deceived all the time!”“I didn’t ‘deceive’ you, Astrid, don’t
Astrid’s POVI was sitting in the waiting room for many hours now. The surgery was going on and all I did was pray every single second to Jesus for mercy. I must have done bad things in my life, but mom didn’t. So please God save her.After all that is all I can do right now.I kept on waiting for some nurse or the doctor to come and tell me “congratulations!”. But I guess that has to wait.I was growing restless with every passing second. I don’t know, but this different feeling in me told me something wasn’t really right. I just hope that that ‘something’ has nothing to do with mom.------Noah’s POVA Few Hours AgoI was the anonymous doctor with the name ‘James’.Yup, it’s me.I am back.God, this all is too much! I am going to do the operation of my mother in law.Well, I studied for her, so
Astrid’s POV“Your husband’s here”As I heard that voice, I quickly turned around. Noah. He was here.“N-Noah?”“Yes, Astrid”I quickly turned to that nurse. “Did he… perform the operation… of my mom?”“Yes, mam”I looked back at him and he was looking at me with a small smile.“You… saved my mom?”“Our mom”I went to him. He looked at me intently.He knelt down and I was taken back. I took a step back.“Astrid”I looked at him. “Get up!” I whispered as everyone looked at us.“Astrid. I know I made many mistakes. Some, which I can’t even think of forgiving myself for. But today… I wanted to make some amends. Astrid, I love you and I want you to come back to me” he pulled out a ring and hesitantly extended i
I woke up at 7. Yup, I usually sleep till late, but today is my first day at this so called college."Ughhhh""Hm let's go"..I went downstairs and found my mum. She was preparing breakfast."I am going mum!" I yelled."Take this!" She replied.I don't like breakfasts..But I had to eat it. And just after I ate, I gave my mum a hug and went. She's lovely..but strict to rules."First day in college. I have no friends. Wow" I thought and entered the strange college.I entered the college and there stood my teacher."She's beautiful"I thought.As I entered, she greeted me." Hello! You're the new student.. Ms.. Ms. Astrid, right? ""Yes mam!" I said and she gave a big smile.She introduced me to the class."She's Astrid Young from LA. I hope you all will be her friends" she spoke with her brightest smile.I said hello.Then I turned my fac
Astrid's POVAfter a few minutes, I got really irritated by him. He glanced me a few times and smirked by lowering his head.What is he doing? Is he insulting?Me?I can't take it anymore.. This insult."Mister, what's your problem? What are you doing??""You're just finding reasons to talk to me!" he said while grinning.Enough. I can't bear it. I stood up and called the teacher."Mam.. I want to change my seat" I said."Why?" asked the teacher.Ohno. I'm so crazy. I didn't even think of a reason."That.. Mam... Actually.."Yeah! I got an Idea!"Mam I forgot my book, and... She! She is sitting alone and she has a book"Yeah I pointed towards a strange girl. I didn't know her, as I have literally no one I know here."Noah, don't you have book?" she asked him."Yes Mam, I do"Woah. Can't he just neglect it?"Then
Astrid's POV"Hello, you're Astrid, right?" she asked smiling at me.I nodded. She sat down in front of me."Hello, I'm Ava" she said."Hi Ava" I replied."Can I sit here and have a talk?" she asked way too formally."Of course you can" I repliedShe told me that she also came here recently. She asked me if I could be her friend."Well Of course! I also needed a friend" and ya that's how formally we became friends. We then had our lunch and shared some of our stuff.After a while, it was class again."Ugh again that nerd.. Well I kinda like his irritating nature" I thought and then went back to my class.I again sat beside him and he didn't notice me. I was quite disappointed.Then he took out his book and started studying.See, when you like someone, you just notice their every move. Don't curse me for noticing all this.....Wait, did I just say
Astrid's POV"Hm.. Whatever" I said, a little embarrassed."Okay bye" He said"Bye" I said and I was leaving the cafe when he stopped me again."Astrid""What?" I said."How are you going to your home?" he asked.What? What does it have to do with him. Am I supposed to report everything to him?"I.. I'll go back with bus" I said."If you want I can drop you" he said.Without my permission, my cheeks turned red. Why was I blushing? Did he even say anything?"No-no, it's fine" I said and went out.Then I boarded the bus and started to go back. I usually sit in the window seat, and I did the same today. I'm quite an observer. I like to observe the things around me. But today I looked out and I can't even clearly see everything, because my mind is thinking about someone. Yes, it's him.I couldn't understand this day. One day and so many things happened.
Astrid's POVThe test started in no time. I was a little scared when the sheets were distributed. But I have to trust him, I don't have other options anyway. I hope this promise is fulfilled.He started to tell me some of the answers which I had no idea of. I was quite impressed. He's so talented in studies. And here I'm.. On the verge of failure. I don't know what will happen if I fail. Oh god, I'm ashamed of myself.I was thinking all this, and I didn't listen to the answer that he already repeated the third time. I think he lost his temper and shouted."Can't you hear!?"I came in my senses and so did everyone. Miss Sophie was staring us blood eyed. Not us, really, but him."Stand up!" shouted Ms. Sophie.I was trembling with fear. We both stood up. She came near us."Noah!! You are the topper of this class. How can you be so irresponsible? What caused you to cheat?"He just lowered his
