Shocking News

Ella's POV

After my husband died. As a single mother, I need to take care of myself and my daughter but it's not too hard for me because Eva is always a smart child from childhood. She always tried to help me in every way. When I was busy or didn't have time for her. She never blamed me but always tried to support me. I don't know when my daughter became this mature but she's the strength of my life. My world!

She's the one who forces me to start a new relationship and try to fall in love again. And she also assured me that it's alright for her. 

She will be okay with her new dad! She confirmed it for me with seriousness.

At first, I thought, she's just trying to look mature to say this to me. But with time, I came to know she was always serious.

So, After realizing that, I tried to date a few men. At first, that was too awkward for me. Because as a 16 years old daughter's mother. It feels a little embarrassing but Eva always gives me support and tries to explain to me that it's normal. 

Between these dating times, I finally met someone who is just like me. He is single and has never been married before. He is one year older than me and a rich businessman. His name was Roy Williams and we both met on a blind date. 

That date went well and we ended up in the hotel sleeping together. After that night, we both fell in love with each other. 

Yes, Roy is the one with whom I fell in love after my husband and he also fell for me.

We both become inseparable. Eva also met him and started to treat him like her father. Roy also cared about her as his daughter. 

Seeing all this, I felt like I was blessed but one day when he suddenly broke up with me and left the city without saying goodbye hurt me deeply. 

If I say I forget about him then it's wrong. It still hurts me to the core whenever I think about him. Loving someone is hard but loving a second time is harder. 

In my weak time, Eva told me, I need to forget about him and I did that when I met Mark for the first time.

I went to attend my friend's wedding but got introduced to him. After exchanging contact we started to talk on calls and went out for eating or walking. 

I can't say whether we are in love or not but we both enjoyed each other's company and wanted to settle down. 

He is an amazing and mature man even though he is young, he never judges me based on my age and understands me. 

When he proposed to me on our last date I felt shocked for a moment because we have only known each other for two months but he told me I can take my time if I think it's too sudden. 

But I don't want to disappoint him by rejecting him without any reason. So, I thought to give myself a chance with him and I accepted his proposal.

His gentle behavior made me think about our relationship seriously and finally, I thought to forget about Roy and walk in the future with Mark. 

Eva also liked him as I asked her about Mark. It means I should now let go of my past and look at my bright future with Mark. 

With time, one day I'll fall in love with him. I knew that. It's all just a matter of time, that's it.

Eva's POV

"Mom, Are you serious?" I can't stop my voice loud while looking at my mom with a shocked-filled expression after she announced to me that Mark is going to live with us starting next week. 

Yes, they wanted to try a live-in relationship and let them be given a chance to adjust.  I know it's not my right to ask her but I don't feel good to hear this news that he was going to live with us for the whole 24 hours. 

Like seriously???? I shouted in my brain.

Last time, He only stayed a few hours in my house and I lost my mind! 

What will happen to me if I stay with him 24 hours? I can't imagine my frustration right now! 

"Honey, why are you looking upset?" My mom's face became worried. I think she sensed my frustration which made me feel bad. 

So, I just plastered the fake smile on my face.

"No mom, I'm not upset! I was just shocked by the sudden announcement!" I lied to her while continuing the talk. 

"It's a good idea! You should spend more time with each other! I don't mind him staying with us!" I try to look cool in front of her. 

Hearing me, she smiled back while there was relief on her face. 

"Thank you, honey! I was too nervous to think about how would you react to hearing this sudden news?" She tried to explain to me but I held her hands feeling wrong to make her nervous.

She already did everything as a mother, now it's her life to make a choice. I can't hurt her because of my issues. 

"Mom! I understand! So don't think about something like that! This is your life and you should make your own choice! I comforted her. 

"Oh, sweety!" She hugged me warmly and I hugged her back with the same love. 

For my mom, I need to try hard. I need to avoid creating awkward situations with Mark.

I also upset Janson that night. After the last interaction our conversation becomes less. Whenever I try to call him and meet him. He was always busy. 

I think I should have a serious conversation with him about our relationship. 

Actually, I want a serious relationship with him. 

In these few months of dating, I feel I started to like him more and deeply. He is gentle, sweet, funny and handsome, everything which I can want. 

I should try hard for our relationship. I'll meet him tomorrow and clear all the things with him. 

Thinking this, my face becomes brighter. If everything goes well I'll tell my mom about Janson.

I know she will support our relationship if we don't let our studies be affected by dating. 

"Honey, dinner is ready!" My mom shouted from the kitchen.

"Coming!" I responded and went to wash my hands before eating. 

My mood is now fresh, there is no more frustration or different thoughts. I think Janson is the person who can make me forget about everyone. He is the better half for me. This thought brought a smile to my face.
