Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 42
SARAH What a life I ended up with! I had always dreamed of a happy and peaceful marriage, but instead, I got stuck with a man who brings nothing but trouble. I sat in front of my dresser, looking at myself in the mirror. The reflection staring back at me was of a sad and struggling woman. I couldn't believe how my life had turned upside down in just a year. I wondered if things would ever get better. Suddenly, I heard a noise at the door. Someone was trying to get in, but I had locked it. "It's Leo, please open the door," his voice came through. "I don't want to talk to you right now, please go away," I replied calmly. Leo kept trying to get me to open up, but I refused. I went to bed without eating dinner and spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The next day, my father-in-law and Lilian's mother were going to the hospital to sign some papers before Lilian's surgery. I had prayed all night, hoping that everything would go well. ********* I went back to

SARAH"Why would you want to end it all, Sarah?" My cousin Emma questioned, carefully scrutinizing my body for any signs of harm."Listen, my dear, this world is far too sweet to let it slip away. Live as if your troubles don't exist," Emma insisted.I chuckled softly at her words."But Emma, there's nothing left for me to enjoy. My life is a chaotic mess, just look at me," I responded calmly."Even amidst the chaos, Sarah, it's never a valid reason to terminate your existence. There's no logical explanation for it!" Emma raised her voice. She stared at me, her eyes showing a glimmer of anger. If I were younger, I wouldn't put it past her to reprimand me for my insanity."Oh, please, Emma. I just needed some fresh air. I would never contemplate taking my own life. So don't get worked up about trivial matters." My words were meant to reassure her."Trivial matters? Is that what you call this?" She rolled her eyes in disbelief.Suddenly, Leo entered the room, hold

SARAH "I can't leave, Mom. I still have some things to take care of. Leo's place is close by anyways, so it's convenient for me to stay there," Lilian tried to explain to her mother, but her words fell on deaf ears."I refuse to believe that you've become so foolish ever since you started hanging out with that foolish brother of yours! You are not going back to that house, and that's final," her mother's words were authoritative.How did it come to this?Just moments after I arrived to visit Lilian, her mother barged in. Upon seeing me with her daughter, she flew into a rage and accused me again of poisoning Lilian. Insisting that Lilian must go home with her, she became increasingly aggressive.Lilian attempted to get up from her bed, but the pain from her recent surgery held her down."I am not a child anymore, Mom! I am a young woman with my own life to live. You cannot tell me what to do in this situation," Lilian opposed."Do you see what you've caused? As i

SARAH As I approached the house, a strange feeling began to settle within me. Emma, my cousin who would spend her evenings glued to the TV, was nowhere to be found. It felt as though the house had transformed into a graveyard.Ignoring the unsettling atmosphere, I made my way up the stairs. I could faintly hear whispers coming from Emma's room. She was probably on a phone call. As I approached, the door swung open, revealing a startled Emma."Hello, Cousin," she greeted, catching her breath and attempting to conceal her surprise."Where are you going?" I asked in curiosity. She stumbled over her words, trying to form a response. "Uhh... I'm just going to grab something from the nearby store. I'll be back in no time." I could see right through her lies.She started to rush past me down the stairs, but I held her back. "Are you going without your card or any cash?" I questioned.Her eyes widened in realization. "Oh, you're right. I should grab my card," she sai

LEO I was really tired after the day's work and needed to rest. But my dear wife was all worked up over her cousin, Emma. I opened the door and without uttering a word, Emma, rushed past me and headed straight to her room. Ignoring her, I threw myself on the couch and turned on the news. Moments later, Sarah soon joined me. "Just stay calm." She said to me. As if on cue, Emma came down the stairs like a raging lion. "Something is missing from my room!" she shouted, accusingly eyeing both of us. "Emma, it's past 9 p.m. Why are you yelling like a lunatic? What's gotten into you?" I fired back, annoyed. Sarah intervened, trying to dig deeper into the matter. "What exactly are you looking for, Emma?" "It's, uh...it's just..." Emma stammered, failing to provide a clear answer. "It doesn't have a name? Nothing specific?" I pressed further. "Forget it, it's not important anyway," Emma snapped, attempting to walk away. But Sarah's words stopped her in her tracks. "Could it be the

LILIANCora arrived at the hospital early the next morning, insisting that I go home with her. But I stood my ground convincing her that I wasn't done with what I had come there to do."You can stay in a hotel then," Cora said, still trying hard to convince me."No, not when my brother's house is just close by " I shook my head in disagreement.She however gave up, seeing that I was not going to do as she wanted.We arrived at Leo's house together, with Cora only coming along to ensure my safety. As we pulled up to the gate in her car, Leo emerged and greeted us warmly. Unsurprisingly, Cora rolled her eyes at him, clearly still harboring her dislike for Leo. "Welcome back Lily" Leo welcomed as he disappeared into the kitchen and returned with two glasses of steaming hot tea. "Please drink up, the both of you. Breakfast will soon be ready" he said with all smiles."Where is your wife?" I asked, sipping the tea as I hadn't seen her since I arrived."She still s

SARAHI was lying in the hospital bed, taking a rest after almost fainting at the police station. I stared up at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts about what the test results would reveal.Suddenly, the door swung open and Leo entered my ward. I could see a faint smile on his face and I wondered what would have made him smile after I had almost passed out at the police station."My love," he called and sat on my bed"How are you doing today?" He asked as he held my hands into his."I'm feeling better now," I replied softly.I noticed his smile growing bigger as he looked into my eyes."You've been smiling since you got here. What's the news?"He continued to hold on to one of my hands while reaching for the other and squeezing them both."It's not just news. It's big news" he emphasized the word "big"Wanting to know, I sat up so I could hear the full gist."I'm just coming from the doctor's office and he said… that… " he paused and winded his smiling face.I

LUCASSarah got into the house and plopped down on the couch. I perched on the opposite couch and noticed her shooting daggers at me.She is my little sis, but right now, I feel like a kid, 'cause I'm feeling super guilty for putting her through some bad stuff."Quit eyeballing me, or I'll yank 'em out!" She snapped at me.My sister had undergone a remarkable transformation in my eyes after months of being absent from my life. I couldn't blame her for holding a grudge against me. My foolish actions had caused her a great deal of trouble, but I was determined to make amends for all that she had endured.As my father reentered the living room, he positioned himself beside Sarah and directed his attention towards her."Sarah," he called out to her."Yes, Dad," she responded."I know we all made mistakes, your mother and I. And it's all because of your brother's stupidity. All thanks to your cousin Emma, she tricked your brother.""What? Emma did what?" Sarah excla
