“Why are you crying?” He asked as he looked at her face. He was holding her hands in his while looking at her face gently. All the earlier anger disappeared. He looked concerned. He was furious at himself that he had made her cry, but he did not show his anger. He did not want to scare her more than she looked at that moment. “I told you not to report him. I don’t want to see you locked up in jail. The past is in the past. I have already forgotten about it.” She said with a bit of annoyance while she had mist in her eyes. She pulled her hands from his. She was so scared earlier that she could not understand anything. That was why she hugged him earlier. But now, she was regretting it. She was the one who told him to keep his distance, and now she had hugged him. What would that make her in his eyes? “I won’t, okay. Calm down.” He said as he grabbed her hands again. She did not look like she would be calmed down anytime soon. He took her to make her sit on the couch. She resisted a l
“No need to thank me. I did what anyone else would have done.” He said after thinking and staring at her for a while. He just gave her a little smile as he had a bite of his burger.Something did not sit right with her. Saying that anyone else would also have done what he did was not something wrong. Everyone should help the victim in such cases, but he said it so normally—like she was no different from any other girl for him.They surely did not have a special relationship nor was she expecting something else. She just thought that it was a little different. They were neither a couple nor a friend. She did not want to change that, but the fact was that the way he took care of her the other night and acted so gently with her, she had grown a special spot for him in her heart. She did not want to name it because she did not know what it was, but that was how it was. The annoyance and irritation she felt whenever he was in front of her did not exist anymore. Rather, she felt comfortable
“How is she?” Thomas asked her as she came out of the OPD. Her eyes were red from crying. Ever since she got back from Canada, all she had been doing was crying. She did not cry in front of others, but her swollen and red eyes told enough about her condition.“She is okay.” She nodded in assurance. She was sleeping, so she came out to sit beside him. She was concerned about him. He had not slept for a second since the previous night.They got to the hospital as soon as they landed in LA. They came around night time and it was already morning. He had not left her side the whole time and consoled her all the while. Olivia sent Aunt Mary home because she was the one who had been taking care of her mom for two days.They had informed her late. They thought her mom was having the usual reaction after the chemo, but all she had been doing was throwing up. Aunt Mary had to take her to the emergency room. She did not want to spoil Olivia’s time with her husband, but her condition was not gett
“I was so sad when I heard about your mom’s condition. Thank God, her surgery went smoothly.” Sana said hugging Olivia. Olivia had stopped crying now. She was so scared when her mom was in the operating theatre. She was praying the whole time. Thankfully, the surgery was done with no complications. The doctors were of different states which Thomas had consulted. They took her to the biggest hospital in town where they operated on her. The doctors had given them hope as the surgery was successful as they removed her ovary with so much risk and difficulty, but still, there was no guarantee that she would be alright. It was the fourth stage after all. She just wanted to try every way possible to make her live for some time. And she wanted her to live a less painful life.Sana was on her trip when she came to know that Amelia was having her surgery. She left for LA to come and see her. She felt so bad that her friend was alone on her own. But she did not expect Thomas to be there and take
He was busy sucking on her delicious lips. Everything around him had faded away. He did not even remember that they were in the hospital. Her sweet smell was hovering over his senses. He pulled her even closer.He heard her little moan as he pulled her close. Her lips had started to respond fervously. From the way she was kissing him, he understood what Sana meant when she said she did not have a lot of experiences. But what mattered to him was that she was responding.He was worried about not being able to ever kiss her after she ran away from him the other night. Now, he was sure that she did not want any intimacy between them not because she did not want it, but she was afraid. He was also aware of the reason now.He smiled in between the kiss. He was holding her delicate face between his hands. Just like the other night, she was clutching in his shirt tightly.Just then, they heard someone clear their throat. She pushed him in panic. Her face was red like tomatoes when she separat
"How are you feeling, mom?" She asked as she entered her room with a smile. It had been a week since her surgery, and she was finally discharged. Olivia felt like she could breathe again. The last two weeks had been like a hell. Firstly, it was because her mom had had a complex surgery. Secondly, she came to know about Thomas's parents. She was sure that her intuitions were correct.She looked so lost. Her mind was hurting from all the thinking she had done. She even put Thomas at a hand's distance. She did not know what to do. Looking at his face, she was reminded of the way he reacted when he talked about the driver.Her mind was messing with her, and she knew nothing would be normal between them again--as if they already had a normal relationship. "I am fine, my sweet love." She said weekly, but her eyes were smiling. She was lying on her bed as she looked at her daughter lovingly. She felt hurt that Olivia had to take so much responsibility at such a young age. She would turn tw
“Amelia, who’s there?” She heard her mom’s voice from the room. She had forgotten that she must have been waiting for her to return.“It’s Thomas.” She yelled from the living room. She looked at Thomas who was looking at her with an undecipherable expression on his face. He sighed and got up.“We will pick up from where we have left.” He said with the same grim expression on his face and walked ahead of her towards the room. She did not know she was holding her breath until she released it.She followed him to the room and saw him crouched down towards Amelia, and her mom was caressing his hair. He was also smiling at her.‘When did they get so close?’ She thought to herself. She never thought he would be close to her mom.But he was always beside her since she got sick. During her surgery, he did not leave her side even for a few hours. She would always be grateful to him for the care and affection he showed to her and her mom.“I am glad that you are okay now.” He told her mom who w
“Wait!” He grabbed her wrist as she tried to get into her room. She was not in the mood to talk at all. She was not mad at him. He knew nothing about why she was behaving that way with her. She had her reasons which she wanted to keep hidden from him. She did not know how she would face him if he got to learn about the truth of their past. It was ironic if one thought about it. She was not guilty of anything at all. She had not done anything wrong for her to feel guilty about everything that happened, but she did. She felt guilty about being the reason her father rushed that day costing him his life. She felt guilty that Thomas lost his parents because she wanted her father, their driver, to show up at her event. She was so angry that day when her dad did not come. She came home all pissed off not knowing what was about to hit her. She was so young that she could not understand anything at that time. It was all so shocking to her that she had lost her dad forever. But now, she under
