When I open up my eyes, I find myself in the hospital. My head was aching so much and when I try to touch it, I find it wrapped round with a bandage. Clearly, I got a head injury when I had hit my head on the ground.
“Ouch," I say while placing my hand down. It was so painful on the head. And I know I will need a long time for it to completely heal.“Serah, I am so glad you are awake now.” Mia says while running towards me. I could see tears in her eyes while she was talking to me. I was so hurt to see those tears. The last thing I wanted was making her worried for me. I just wanted her to be happy all the time, but I just ended up doing the opposite.“Thanks, sister, for always being here for me.” I say to her, tears coming out of my eyes.She was my only family member. Our parents were already dead. They were involved in a bad car accident and none of them came out alive. Back then, my sister and I were so little and our relatives decided to send us to children's home. After we were already adults, we decided to leave children's home. We rented an apartment and both my sister and I got a job at a certain hotel. Our lives became a little better from the salary we were getting.“You got me so worried, Serah. What were you thinking. And where were you coming from? Please tell me.” Mia asks me.“Mia. Promise me that you won't get angry with me.” I say to her with tears in my eyes.“Tell me. You are my sister, so I won't get mad with you. I just want to know how you got into that situation. If you had not texted me I don't know what would have happened.” She says, her eyes full of tears.“I had gone to see Brian. You won't believe what he did to me, sister.” I say sobbing uncontrollably. His words were still ringing in my mind.“What has he done, Serah. Tell me. That foolish man. I knew from the start that he is not a good man. My instincts were right.” Mia tells me with a firm voice.“He broke up with me. He has found another girl. He even threw me out of his house. That is when I ended up in the streets. It was so cold, and I just could not bear it anymore. I am sorry sister, I wish I could have listened to you. You were right from the start, and I was too naive to see Brian's true colors." I say."Don't cry Serah. You just fell in love with the wrong guy. But it's all over now. You will have to forget him and just move on with your life.” Mia says.“But how will I start to live without Brian. I don't think I will be able to do that. I just love him so much. How will I be able to get him out of my mind? He is the only man I have ever loved. He is my first love, and he just ended up hurting me this way. Where did I go wrong, sister? I just don't understand why he has decided to leave me. I just cannot stand this anymore. I love him so much." I say while crying my eyes out. The hurt that I was feeling in my heart was too much. I don't think I will be able to bear it."I will be here to help you, Serah. I will never leave your side. I will help you forget, Brian. You are too precious to be hurt by a man like him. He doesn't deserve you at all. You deserve better. You are too beautiful to cry over a man, sister.” Mia says, kissing my forehead.The door opens, and the doctor walks in, interupting my chat with Mia. I rub the tears in my eyes with my eyes and I stare at the doctor. I hope he has good news for me. I just want to get out of this hospital. Being here is not good for me at all. Just lying down all day doing nothing makes me think about Brian all day long."Well miss Serah stone, I have some good news for you. We have conducted our tests on you, and you don't have any major injuries. The injury you have on your head is nothing major, so we will be discharging you tomorrow morning.” The doctor says, and I am glad to hear that. I don't know what I would have done if I had a severe injury on my head.“Thank you doctor for this information. It is really good news to us.” My sister Mia says.“I have not told you the good news yet.” The doctor says, and I start to feel nervous.“Tell me those good news, doctor. I badly want to hear it.” I say in a lot of haste.“The good news is that you are two weeks pregnant. Congratulations.” The doctor says.“What?, I am pregnant?, I just cannot believe this.” I say with a shocking voice.“Yes you are. Now it's better to take care of yourself for the sake of your baby. You will have to be extra careful for the sake of your baby.” The doctor says, and I just cannot believe the news. I just hope I am in a terrible nightmare right now.Serah's POV.I said yes to Raphael's proposal. Finally, I will be a bride. It was so wonderful. It was always my dream to get married to him and it was finally happening. Everything was finally going to its place.We start the marriage preparations instantly. There was no time to waste. We set the wedding date a month from now. I just could not believe it. We had so much to do in a little time.* * * * * * * *After a month.The day is here, my wedding day. The day I have been waiting for was finally here. My sister Mia was here by my side. She watched the makeup artists doing my makeup. I could see a bright smile on her face each time we made eye contact. I could say she was so happy for me. After all, she is my sister.After I am ready, the makeup artists excuses herself so that I can talk to Mia. She had requested some time so that we could have a little chat before the wedding.“My little sister, you look like a princess in that dress. You look so beautiful.” Mia says.“Thank you
Raphael's POV.After some weeks.“Welcome home my dear.” My mother says.I have spent these few weeks in the hospital after the blow I received from Brian.“Thank you mother.” I say to her.Serah was right beside me. She has been by my side all through, and I was so thankful to her.Brian was arrested and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment for attempted murder and kidnapping. I felt somehow sorry for him. He was hurting for his son a son he denied six years ago. It's so bad that he will now not be able to see his son grow up.“Where is Gael?” I ask Serah.“He is inside his room. He said he will make you something nice to welcome you inside the house.” She says.“So, I guess he is already used to this house.” I say.“Yes my love. I also love it here. The house is so big and nice. And also your parents love the two of us so much. I could never ask for more.” She says and I kiss her cute lips.“Yeah, my daddy is here.” I hear Gael shouting at me. In his hand, he was holding a paper w
Serah's POV.We reach Brian's door and I press the doorbell. The lights were still on so it means he was inside.“Who is it. I am coming.” He says out loud.He takes like two minutes before he finally opens the door.“What are you doing here Serah.” Brian says immediately he opens the door.“I am here for my son. I know you have him so don't pretend that you don't know what brought me here.” I say in anger.“What are you talking about. I don't have Gael. He was with you. Don't you remember that you never allowed me to see him? So I gave up, and I decided to continue with my life.” He says.“I don't believe you, so please let me in. I know Gael is inside there.” I say in anger.“I am sorry, but I have to ask you to leave my compound. Both you and your lover, please leave from here.” He says.“Brian, please. We know Gael is in there. We don't want to use force, so please let Serah pass. Likewise, we must search this house before we leave.” I hear Raphael saying. All this time he had rem
Serah's POV.I can't believe I got out so late from work today. I could not even get the chance to ask Brandon to pick up Gael from school.It was almost 6 when I get out of work and I immediately rush to Gael's school. I know he must be so tired right now. He got out from school about three hours ago. I take a cab and I rush to his school. When I get there, there was no one in the school. The compound did not even have a single person walking. Gael was also nowhere to be seen, and I panic. I start knocking on the school gate and the gate man comes running.“Madam, what are you doing here so late?" He asks.“I am looking for my son. I could not pick him up on time.” I say.“But there is no child in the school by now. I have locked all the classrooms already, and can assure you that there is no one.” He says.“Where is my son then. I am so worried right now.” I say.“Who is your son, madam.” The security guard asks“He is Gael. The one who was attacked a few months ago.” I say to ma
Brian's POV.It has been a month full of agony for me. This is because I could not see my son. I felt so lonely. I miss him so much, and I must soon see him. I have been busy with work that I was unable to get much time to go and see him. And this frustrated me so much. I wonder when I will make bond with my son. He must know me before he grows up. I must spend time with him while he is still a child because I don't want to miss the childhood memories of him.* * * * * * * *Today seems to be my lucky day because I finally get the time I have been wanting so badly. I was not going to work today because I was given a day off.I am so happy, and I decide to drop at Serah's town so that I can check on Gael. I know by now he was at school. Thanks to my sources, I get to know which school he studies in. So I will wait for him until he gets out of school. I will be the first person to pick him up today. And I will think of what I will do with him. I think I will run away with him. If Sera
Serah's POV.Brian's presence makes me so angry and shaken. I know he will keep his promise of taking Gael away from me. I don't know what I will do if that happens. I will be so heartbroken.“That will not happen, my love. We will protect Gael. Brian will never succeed in taking Gael from us.” Raphael says.His presence always makes me so confident. “Please don't ever leave me, my love. I will die for sure.” I say to Raphael.“My love. Please stop saying that. I am not going anywhere. Please dry your tears. There is a party going on inside. Let's pretend that this never happened.” Raphael says as he wipes away my tears. He was truly heaven sent.* * * * * * * * * *After a month.“My love, the breakfast is getting cold. What, are you not coming out of the room?"I say while placing the plates on the table. In this one month, my family has been the happiest. We spent most of the time in the house just having fun. I now feel so complete and happy. My son Gael has completely recovere
Brian's POV.I am so mad at Serah when I arrive in the hospital only to know that they were already discharged. “Doctor, is there any information as to where Serah lives?” I desperately ask the doctor.“I am sorry, but we don't give out personal information to people.” The doctor says.“But doctor, I am Gael's dad, and we are not in good terms with her mother, so I am sure if I call her, she won't tell me where she lives. That is why I am asking you to help me. I want to see my son. Please doctor.” I say to him.He thinks for like two minutes before giving me the address. I thank him and I rush outside.This is a house that Serah lives in. I now know why I could not find her when I went to look for her back then. It was only by luck that we met in the supermarket.I take my car and I start driving towards the address I was given. After I reach, I pack my car and I start heading inside.* * * * * * * *It looks like, there was a party going on inside. I reach the door and it was wide
Raphael's POV.“Place that here. Yes, there. It looks good.” I smile as I stare at Gael's photo. I had printed it earlier this morning. It was so big, just like him.“How is the decoration sir, do you love it?” The decorator asks.“It's perfect. I love it. Thank you for being here. Here is your payment. You may leave now.” I say to her, and she signals her team to leave.Today is when Gael was coming back home, so I had to make everything look perfect and beautiful. It has been two weeks now since he woke up from his coma and the doctors said he was doing better, and they discharged him.“I am sure Gael will love this. I want him to be happy. He deserves this.” I say.I then take my car keys and head outside. I take my car and I start driving to the hospital to pick up my family. I feel so happy and excited.I had informed my parents that Gael had a welcoming party today. But since my father was still not so well, they said that they will not make it. They just sent Gael's present and
Serah's POV Soft hands wake me up. I was so tired. Staying in the hospital was too tiring. I slowly open my eyes and I see Raphael staring at me. I slowly get up from the couch and I sit.“My love, you are back already?” I ask him.“Yes, my love. I came back some few minutes ago. You were sound asleep so I did not want to disturb you.” He says.“So, how was your trip. Did everything go well?” “Yes my love. My dad is doing so much better and he now accepts you. He asked met to tell you that once Gael is alright, then you can go see him. He has invited you over to our house. Both you and Gael.” Raphael says.“My love, why does he accept me so suddenly?” I ask. Something felt fishy to me. “He says, he feels guilty of what he did to me back then. He has also handed the company to me. So, I will be taking over the company.” He says.“That is a good thing, my love. Maybe it's true that your dad regrets his actions. I am happy that you have resolved the differences between you and your da
