~ Crossroads~Angelina was sitted at the waiting area of the hospital when Yara dashed inside, beads of perspiration all over her face.Darting her eyes around, she caught sight of Angelina and moved towards her in long strides. She ignored the jobless stares of those around as she dres closer to where Angelina sat and placed a hand on her shoulder, making the other to almost jump in surprise."Cara told you?""She said you tried calling but my number was unreachable. What in the heavens happened to Eleanor?"Angelina breathed out in exhaustion. Her eyes were red and her face looked bored. It was evident that she had used up her tears while crying for a long time."I wish I Knew too. It suddenly went round the hostel that there's someone at the roof top who looks like she wants to end her life. I didn't think much of it because I had no idea that it was Eleanor up there."Her voice was weak. Yara took in a deep breathe. She was shaking internally but had to appear strong for Angelina

By the time Cara rushed into the hospital, she was breathless. Throughout her stay with her boyfriend, she couldn't take her eyes off the clock. Her mind raced with thoughts and no matter how much she tried to calm herself down, she knew she had to get to the hospital as soon as she could. Corey had noticed her absentmindedness throughout his stay. He had tried asking about it but she waved it aside. She hoped he didn't misunderstand her.She rushed out, the moment she got Yara's text, not even having enough time to explain to Corey. It was hard to believe that Yara wasn't playing some sick prank on her. Eleanor couldn't possibly be dead. But then she knew that there was no way Yara could play such a prank. She convinced herself throughout the ride that Yara had been mistaken. Perhaps she had heard the doctor wrong. It didn't help that Yara wasn't picking her calls nor returning any of them. She glanced around for Yara and Angelina once inside the hospital, her nose crinkling at th

~ Home Renovations~Grayson was out on a date with Yara. Initially, he didn't want to go with her but she would not hear of that. She claimed that he loved dark themed stuffs and would buy furniture and fixtures that would have their house looking like a morgue. As ridiculous as that did sound, Grayson wanted to follow her lead this time around. She loved light and loved everywhere being bright. She was actually such a nice girl with almost zero troubles. But all his life has been him coming out from pne trouble only to enter another.When she met him, it did her no much good. But then, things were getting better. They hardly quarreled, which was almost a thing of compulsion, as of few days ago.When Grayson got to know that Yara lost a friend of hers, he felt terrible and wanted to protect her. He knew how scared she must have been. Few days before that happened, she had felt threatened and scared to death. Only for her to lose her friend. He had no idea that those two ladies he had

~ The Wedding (I) ~"Let us get something for your mother too." Grayson whispered into her ear when they were done making their choices.The smile on Yara's face immediately disappeared and was replaced with an angry look."You don't need to. Just pay for this ones." She muttered, trying not to get angrier.Grayson could not understand her sudden change of mood. He had expected her to be happier when he had mentioned getting something for her mother as well but it seemed to have done really exact opposite.He wished he had kept his mouth shut. "Why?" Grayson pushed further. "You should get stuffs for your mother no matter how big or small it is." He tried quoting her exact words. Yara sucked in a breathe and left for their car, leaving Grayson in a state of perplexity. He brought out his card and paid for the furniture and other home appliances that they got, greatly disturbed at what had just happened.He finally decided that women were something else. He could never understand the

Madam Elle opened the door and stood at the same spot for the next minute with glistening eyes. She lost her guard and threw her hand around Yara, to the latter's confusion and Grayson's surprise."You're welcome, Yara." Madam Elle whispered, smiling sweetly as a lone tear rolled down her left eye.Meanwhile Yara felt suffocated. She didn't realize how much she hated being hugged until now. Maybe, she never hated being hugged but the death of her good friend- Eleanor had thought her how painful it could be to detach from someone you were once attached to.It was one of the most painful things ever. And she did not wish to experience that again. Ever. That was why, she was now more than ever, being careful as how she close she let people come to her.'Less intimacy, Less pain'. She believed."I see someone has developed a soft spot for another!" Grayson teased, opening his arms wide for Madam Elle to draw nigh.The chief servant broke the hug she was sharing with Yara and rushed into G

~ Exposed ~"Leave Yara out of this!" Grayson angrily stated. His mother flinched, surprised at how angry he was. She couldn't understand why he was so bothered at something so irrelevant. What did it matter to him whether or not she laid Elle off?She had been useful many years ago. But not any more. She needed room for more young and efficient domestic workers who would not only help out with the chores but would also act as spies whenever she needed them to."Why do you act as though you care? And you dare raise your voice at me in the presence of your wife? What meaningful value are you impacting in her? That's why she's never respectful to me!" Hailey- Grayson's mother spat out angrily."This is nothing new. Your words have no effect on me. I won't like to continue on this matter, mother because you are yet to let me know which meaningful values you have also impacted on me. I'd like you to leave Yara out of this. And I'd be mad if I get to know that you fired Madam Elle. She ra

~ The Unsent Letters ~"I had no choice. You wanted to lie to your parents? Even if I attempted to, your mother is also a woman. She knows." Yara shrugged nonchalantly while sitting on the edge Grayson's bed in his black singlet and short.Grayson had been surprised after when they had returned from his parents place and Yara had knocked at his door, only in her bra. It was one of the few times he ever saw her like that. And he was opportuned to see her slight belly bump. It was so small, one would think that she was just over feeding or just in her first trimester. But she was six months gone.Her kind of pregnancy was indeed a blessing for him, as well. It would have been a lot of work having to explain to people when they see him with a lady having a baby bump. No one ever knew. Yara simply looked bigger on the outside. But when she was without her dress, the slight baby bump would be made obvious.Yara had asked to borrow his clothe. She went through his wardrobe, brought out one

~ Bounding ~"What wedding gift do you gave for her?" Lolita asked, taking a sit beside them.Yara sat next to the window. She wasn't scared of height and wanted to view the world and make small sketches of whatever she could. Maybe she would even find inspiration."What of you? What gift did you bring for her?" Yara asked, not ready to spill the beans.A day ago, she had discussed with Grayson what she could get for her best friend and he gave her the perfectly response. She had thought of it but when he mentioned that yo her again, she thought it was definitely the best!Grayson was actually a sweet man. She fully realized that yesterday when they spent quality time together in her room. No dirty talks, no making out, just staying there on her bed, holding hands and discussing intelligent things was so intimate and beautiful to her.She so much valued the time she spent with him and she would not lie nor dare to deny it; she was already missing him."That's how we're going to do it

The Wedding II (Cara's Hassles)The duo navigated their way from the airport to the house of the Petersons. Cara had asked them to meet her there which had initially surprised them because they were concerned that she must have gone crazy and was probably in the same house with Corey on their wedding day.Of course, it was shocking! Yara knew the sort of dramatic best friend she had who would never want Corey to have, no, not even a glimpse of how surreal should would look on a day like until they meet at the wedding hall. If not alter."Do you think anyone will be around?" Lolita asked, concerned.They had rang the door bell severally but no one had opened up for them. Lolita even knocked."Why would Cara tell us to meet her here if no one was around?" Yara reasoned."True. But I don't trust Cara... fully. She could be pranking us." Lolita was nearly frustrated."Maybe you should just call her?"Yara nodded. "Already doing so. I'm sure she's going crazy about her wedding gown or maki

~ A Test Of Friendship ~"He isn't around. Just be calm." Yara said, holding Cara's hand."It's two fifteen. He should be here by now. What do you think is holding him back?" Cara said nervously.Yara almost laughed. She had attended several weddings with her vest friend and she would whine about the bride looking extra nervous when it just her wedding day. As though they is nothing special about a wedding day. Now look who is talking."There could be other stuffs holding him back. Maybe he is also being worrisome like you and want to look extra good for his wife to be.""That better to be the case." Cara smiled, rubbing her hands together. They had exited the car and were walking through the back to the place where she was gout to wait till she would be called out. Her friends were with her but Camella had stopped to greet their friends and relatives that were in attendance of their wedding."Who is going to take you to the alter?" Lolita suddenly asked.They hadn't talked about tha
