191 Funeral

Jake is no more. There is nothing that is cutting to that reality. I'm afraid that my husband lost a genuine person who cared for him. How could someone hate Jake? Everybody just loved him. I can't imagine a life without his laughs and smiles. He was the only one who could bring out the funny and sarcastic Dane. I will miss him for the rest of my life. He helped me to patch up my relationship with Dane. I hope he finds his peace.I heard my phone ring it was Ayisha. I picked it up. She wanted me to come for approving the food menu. I had forgotten how much happy I was these days. The sadness that followed has completely thrown me off. I said I will call her later. I can't deal with the pain and arrangement of a wedding right away. I would have cancelled the whole thing but I didn't want to hurt Dane. I saw his phone ringing and he picked it up. I think it was his parents."I'm not getting married, Mom. I just lost my best man. I don't ever want to get married without him by my side",

I caught her at the right time. My little sister was so distraught I had never seen her so helpless. Ella huffed and puffed to the exit. I knew she had recently lost her mother too for siding up with me. I felt so bad that u wished my father was here. He must know how to console his daughter. I had no idea how to make her feel better. I was afraid that I'm failing as a sister and also as a friend to Jake. The last rites were performed on Jake. His parents were so stricken one couldn't imagine their pain. I saw Dane holding their hands to give them strength. He was talking to them like I was doing with Heidi.Once it was finished we reached home. Both of us were so tired that we couldn't even talk to each other. Every second I was home the memory of Jake haunted. I didn't understand his last words. He asked me to protect Heidi and Dane. I didn't know why would he think there was a danger still. I always cautioned Dane to not let Enzo drag him to a dark path. But I was talking about the

193 Reunion

I went to see Heidi I knew she was still very much broken. There were no more videos or pictures on her social media. I knew she had taken Jake's death hard like me and Dane. When the door opened I saw that she had a dead expression. She smiled when she saw me. She was very slim already now with the death it was as though she wanted to diminish."Where is Ella?", I asked her. It seems that she was alone in the house and her mother had already left her."She went on a date", said Heidi."Really? That was very quick. It looks as though she didn't care about anyone but herself", I said outraged."It is OK. I suggested it. She said she was sick of me sitting alone in the house all day and night", she said."So she thought it was OK for her to leave you here?", I asked annoyed."You know Mom it is hard for her to keep still", she said combing back her hair. I saw needle marks on her hand."What is this Heidi?", I asked her.She was silent. I knew she had no insulin shots so this could mean

194 Mountain and molehill

Life goes on. No matter how hard one tries to remain in the past it is simply not possible. It has been nearly a month since Jake had passed away. We have all learnt to live without him. We still remember him. Hardly a day goes by that we don't miss Jake. But yet we decided to live for him than to be sad. My sister had long quit social media. Now she helms Wellington Inc with my husband. They are now good friends and my jealousy has slipped out of my mind it feels as though it was never there. She hadn't dated anyone so far. My husband wanted her to move on and see other people but we can't say it to her. It is simply not a regular conversation one could have with their best friend's wife even though the best friend is long gone."I still can't believe Heidi took a one-eighty degree from what she once was", said Charlie."Me too. But I think this is for the best", I said to her."Can someone change so much?", she mused."Yes, it is possible. If you had told me that I and my sister wil

195 Confirmed

"It says I'm pregnant", I said as though I was shockingly slapped on my face."Yes, Babe. This just confirms my suspicion", she said as though she finished her gynaecology degree yesterday."This can't be happening", I said my voice barely a whisper."I hope this is a good surprise because you couldn't keep your hands away from the kids I babysat", she said."But this couldn't happen my doctor told me. Maybe the test is not working properly", I said."The world is probably not round because that was what people believed many years before", she said with a huff."I still can't believe it", I said."Are you happy?", she asked me."Yes", murmur."Then what is the issue?", she asked."What if I lost it?", I asked her."There are many things in the world that could go wrong. But just imagine what will you do if the baby makes it out fine! That will alone give you strength to fight all the odds", she said to me."Should I tell Dane?", I asked nervously."Of course, you should tell him", she

Can a person change after hearing big news? I think so it feels as though I'm a different person altogether. It is like yesterday doesn't matter. I can't wait to tell Dane. But I knew he was one of those who loved me a lot. He would never risk my life for a chance of having a baby. The doctor had said that there is very less chance that the baby survives. She said she wouldn't advise me to carry my bug to full term because it could also kill me. But this news doesn't make me change my heart. I want my baby. I thought it was impossible but with the possibility that I could be a mother! It was like I was born again.I have decided that I will tell him after two weeks then it would be impossible to do an abortion. So that he wouldn't have to choose between mother and kid. I just can't wait to see the happiness that I'm going to give him. I know it will make him very happy so I should just keep it with me for a few weeks after that he can't force me to give up the baby. When I reached ho

"Is there something? You are constantly smiling", said Dane. I was? I had no idea. I hope I don't look like a fool all the time. But I had a reason to smile it was a big reason."I'm very happy", I told him."Good", said Dane."You don't want to know the reason?", I tested him."If you want to tell me then yes. But I think this is something secretive", said Dane."What?", I asked with a gasp. He sounded like he knew what was happening. "I have some idea about it. I know that you are happy now that your sister is back with you. You don't have to hide it from me. I had accepted her in our life", said Dane. That was a near save. I thought he caught me on the baby thing. Yes, I was meeting Heidi who was getting better day by day. Now that she has quit the influencer job she is much fun to hang around with. She wouldn't sneer at my clothes. So I could wear sneakers and a dress while meeting up with her. She still has a long way to go. She will do that I'm very sure of it. "Dane my siste

"Convey my congratulations for Charlie", said Dane with a shrug."OK", I said."You don't look so happy", said Dane."I'm happy for her", I said."Then why are you pouting?", he asked me."I'm not", I said my eyes narrowed."Fine. I don't like it when she said she is going to move to Saudi Arabia", I said.Dane laughed out loud as though it was a funny thing to hear. Here my heart was breaking into two. Who will survive their best friend moving to another continent? I surely can't."That I want to see. I will give it a month maximum. She is going to return", said Dane."What she is not? She is in love with her", I told him with a sigh."Then it is going to take two", said Dane still enjoying his humor."Can you stop making fun of my best friend?", I said annoyed."I was only trying to make you happy", said Dane."Your best friend is moving it had made you very sad. I'm only trying to cheer you up", said Dane."Well you are annoying me instead", I told him."You are not happy to hear t

I missed Charlie already and she was still here. I was giving her the necessary space after all she and Jasmine are newly married. I was having my ritual sweet tea from Starbucks. Herald is on leave so now I was in charge of some other security. I don't know his name. He was a pretty chill guy. He doesn't hang around us as Herald did. He kept at least ten feet between us and I caught him checking out his phone many times. This won't be professional but I'm not going to call him out. It may cost him his job.I had called my sister and she was supposed to join me. I was sitting here waiting for her when I saw Ananya. I waved my hands at her. She smiled and joined me. My sister was late. We would occasionally meet up to repair our relationship. It was a success. Both of us had come long past our grievances towards each other. "Hi Mrs Wellington", said Ananya. "Hi Ananya please call me Ziva", I said rolling my eyes. I wasn't that old to give me respect more than I deserve. "OK", she s

"We should tell Dane", said Heidi."No", I protested. I can't even imagine Dane being dragged into this mess. I didn't want Enzo to kill my husband. I was still shaking because of the abrupt change.Enzo was alive and I worried that he is going to come after Dane and me. I have to do something. I don't know what. I have to protect Dane and my child. I can't let Enzo ruin everything like he did last time. I wanted someone to help me but I knew that no one can help me. Save me."Relax", said Heidi."I don't know how to relax. I'm trying to think", I said to her."There is no other way than to tell the cops and Dane. They will deal with him", said Heidi."I don't trust cops. They would never believe that Enzo is still out. I'm afraid exposing the truth now is only going to harm us", I told her.I got a call and that was from Dane. I picked it up nervously."Hey Babe did you see the text I sent you?", asked Dane from the other end."Yes", I said. I wasn't calm and collected as I hoped.Bu
