“Mrs. Miller…”“Mother…”I and Amy acknowledged her mother in unison but her mother responded to only one.“Derek, I couldn’t find my family album, where is it?” With her mother’s back towards us, she kept looking for something inside her cupboard.Noticing the breaking pieces of glass, I gestured for Amy to remain at her place as I approached her mother slowly.“Here, it is,” With a cheer, she turned to me, and before she could raise her foot and accidentally stepped on the glass, I immediately held her.“Let me see,” With an excuse, I stood closer to her and then led her the way to her bed safely.She was still under the effect of the drugs, she faintly gave me a smile and then again she fell into a deep slumber.THUDKeeping the family album aside, I looked at Amy who looked too bewildered by her mother's ignorant behavior towards her.“Those drugs numb the mind most of the time,” I explained and she pressed her lips firmly as her brow furrowed anxiously.“Tomorrow, the effect will

ELSA POV :Nothing can stop Derek at this time, except for his mother’s cry.“Derek.”She called out as I gestured for her to call him out, after all, Derek has a soft corner for his mother, he would definitely won’t leave her alone when she needed him the most.BOOMDerek’s steps haltered, and he turned, granting me my victory.In a few seconds, he was crossing the distance between her and then I saw him holding his mother’s arm anxiously.“Mother, are you ok?”I smiled in victory, and so did the elders of Shepherd.I already knew that tonight Derek would definitely try to spoil the evening, hence, beforehand I had planned all this.The revelation of Amy’s status and their relationship, and then the seriousness Derek held for her.Keeping tabs on him gave me strong proof to prove my point.Knowing that Derek has been absent from the office for a longer period and staying at Amy’s place, The Shepherd strongly opposes her.And the way Derek spoke just now to Grandpa proved how right I

AMY POV :“Mother,” I called her out to take her attention and she tilted her head in acknowledgment.Her expression dropped looking guilty as she got caught by me, but I gave her a smile that softened her features.“Why didn’t you tell me about this, Mother,I too wanted to greet Dad.”I said warmly as I sat beside her and she looked at me stunned.“Dad?”“So, what were you looking at, Mother?Could I also have a look?”Ignoring her shock, I tried to distract her.“Yes, yes sure…Here, see, that’s your third birthday picture, Amy.”My mother showed me the album and soon she started to reminisce on the days of the past while I listened and gave her small approval, appreciated words.We spent hours talking, about our past, about us, and then to my father’s soul.I showed my mother all the agreements to her, I tried to be a good daughter and gave her a keepsake for her life.***“Derek??Did I trouble you too, son?”As I took my mother back to the car, she squealed in joy at Derek’s app

“Derek??”As soon as I reached my house, I heard a familiar cry and shook my head in disbelief.“If you’re here for any counseling then leave, Elsa.”My bluntness made her speechless.“I won’t leave Amy this time, no matter what.I love her, and I’m willing to give up everything for her…”I spoke determinedly when finally she recovered from my harshness.“That’s… Great…” She let out a breath with a small appreciative smile and my mouth fell agape from the shock.Isn’t she here to take me back to the Shepherds?Didn’t she oppose my decision just like the members of my family?“What…?I’m no evil, Derek…”Elsa chuckled nervously from my continuous stare at her.“I came here to check on you,You’re forgetting that we’re still friends…Or are we not??”She raised a brow in doubt and I instantly clarified.“We are, Elsa,We will always be…”“Great, then, as friends could we both go out for a drink and talk about our lives, hmm?”She offered and although I didn’t want to, somehow I was unab

AMY POV :TICK …The clock struck 3 and I sighed in worry, a whole hour has passed since I texted Derek.He missed breakfast, and so did the lunch, he disappeared like a ghost.I don’t know if my decision made him displeased or is it just work, but I am getting bothered by his disappearance.He must have informed me before leaving.CLICKThe door of my house unlocked and I held my breath in dread.Who could that be?Before I would stand on my ground, the sight of the man appeared and I let out my breath with ease.“Where have you been?”I questioned impulsively, and immediately shut my lips when I realized I am showing too evident concern for Derek which I shouldn’t have.Not so fast !!“Work…” Derek spoke in a dull tone.Maybe he’s tired.I didn’t dwell on the subject and started to prepare the table for him.“Go, and freshen up, I have cooked lunch for you.”I told him, my voice remained void of emotion, and he obeyed without making any argument.His silence and obedience made me di
