Semua Bab Entangled With My Dad’s Best Friend: Series 2: Bab 1 - Bab 10

After waiting an entire hour, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. He had an expression of sadness—an indication that something was wrong. No!“Doctor, how is he? What happened to him?” My mum stood up from her seat as she rushed towards the doctor.“Please come with me,” he said, shaking his head as he headed toward his office. My heart couldn’t stop racing. I couldn’t stop shaking.I was supposed to be married in a few months. My father was supposed to be present. He was supposed to walk me down the aisle. I couldn’t lose him. No! I couldn’t.———We all got to the doctor’s office, and he gestured for us to take a seat while he took out his glasses.“Mrs. Anna…” the doctor said, taking a deep breath. I leaned forward, eager to hear what the doctor had to say. But we can all agree that doctors would purposely spend eternity trying to get to the point. Fucking tell me my dad is okay!“I’m sorry, but your husband’s case is getting worse. He is on life support right now, an

SHIMMA’S POVOne month had passed since my father fell ill; three weeks had gone since he died.I often found myself staring at the walls of our home, searching for signs of my father. The silence was deafening and unbearable. I could hardly believe this was happening.My mother had retreated into her sorrow, and I felt the weight of her grief pressing down on me. I wanted to comfort her, but I was struggling to carry my own pain.Mattias, on the other hand, had been my rock, offering support and love when I needed it most. He tried to fill the void that my father’s absence left, but no one could replace him. No one.One evening, as I sat on the couch, I picked up my phone and hesitated before dialing Mattias’s number. I needed to hear his voice, to feel grounded again. When he answered, his familiar warmth washed over me.“Hey babe,” he said calmly. “How are you doing today?”“I’m... okay, I guess,” I replied, though I could feel the tears welling up. “It’s just so hard without him.”

SHIMMA’S POVWhile sitting at the dining table, I noticed Lucas constantly locking eye contact with me. Which made me feel uneasy; because if Mattias caught on, I knew he wouldn’t take it lightly.Yet, Lucas seemed indifferent. He barely touched his food.“So, Shimma, I just heard you’re expecting a baby soon. A big congratulations!” Lucas said, breaking the awkward silence, and I smiled, glancing at Mattias, who also smile warmly.“Thank you so much,” I replied, taking a sip of water.“I really can’t wait to be an uncle you know, I really love kids!” Lucas added, and we all shared a laugh.———After dinner, I decided to wash the dishes while Mattias took a shower upstairs. Lucas stayed in the living room, watching TV. Doing the dishes was my only escape.As I was scrubbing the plates, I felt a presence behind me. I turned to find Lucas leaning against the door, hands in his pockets.“Mind if I come help you?” he asked casually.“No, don’t worry. I’m almost done,” I said, smiling at h

I heard my tummy growl, and in that moment, I realized I wanted something else—something entirely different.---As I sat there, my gaze fixed on the TV, an idea struck me. I had just the right plan to get Lucas to leave and have Mattias all to myself.When Lucas brought my fruit juice on a tray along with some cookies, he placed it on the table. “Here’s your appetizer,” he teased, but I couldn’t find it funny—not after yesterday.Just as he was about to head back into the kitchen, I called out, “Mattias!” My voice brightened with excitement, making Lucas pause in his tracks as he turned to me. “What if we have a picnic instead? We could take the ice cream and cake outside!”There was a moment of silence, then I heard Mattias chuckle. “That sounds like a great idea! I would love that,” he responded enthusiastically.Lucas’s expression shifted, a hint of reluctance showing. “I’d love to join you guys. It sounds fun!”A knot tightened in my stomach. “Actually, I was thinking it could ju

I had to leave for the meeting, but all I wanted was to stay with Shimma. The thought of her alone tonight made my heart ache.“Mattias,” she called softly, pulling me from my thoughts.“Yes, cupcake?” I replied, forcing a smile as I stepped close to where she lay on the bed. She was naked because we had just had a good time together, and staring at her sexy body made me want more of her.“Are you sure you have to go?” she asked, her tone a mix of playfulness and concern.I sighed, knowing I had to be honest. “I have to present for my partner tonight. It’s important.”Her expression fell, and I could see the disappointment in her eyes. “So you’re really leaving?”“I’ll be back first thing tomorrow, ba
