The Promise Novels & Stories

The clouds parted overhead, revealing a few scattered stars. One shone particularly bright. Chase looked at it, lost in thought. "Ever read The Princess and the Frog?" My mind was blank. "What?" "There was this firefly crazy about a star," he explained. "And he named it Evangeline." I nodded dumbly. "Yeah, and then?" Along the shore, the waves had frozen in place, forming undulating layers of white. New surges shoved fresh snow forward in a rhythmic dance. "Nora," he murmured.

He says. I furrowed my brows at him, "How?" "If she didn't have run away, I wouldn't have married to you, " I nodded in agreement, "However, it's so funny, no?" "What is funny?" "That a promise changed our lives forever." "Yes, do you remember you once asked me why I didn't wish in the temple and I said my previous wish is still pending so I stopped believing in it?" I nodded, confused, not understanding what he wanted to say, "I remember, why?"

" I don't have any plans, I knew that mom... I mean Mrs Shekhawat will not be able to survive alone in London where she has memories. So I did what I thought was right. I never told hervtonlkeace but I want some time to.....till then how can I leave her alone hmm " " Ooh! so you are still thinking about the promise." " No...... you were right that day, the promise is just a word, but in relationships, we don't have to promise others to fulfil the responsibility. In the family we have to accept the responsibilities to love and care for each other, being there in hard times to support each other. It's not compulsory to entangle yo

Her questions had affirmed his need to carry out the mission he had planned. He pressed her deeper into his body and spoke. " This time, there wont be anything illegal. I promise. I will be safe and will come back to you all pieces intact. What you can do for me is to take care of yourself. What I need from you is a promise that you will wait for me and that whatever happens, you will trust me. Do not let anything make you lose your faith in me. I promise to not disappoint you.

He will heal your wounds with his love and care. The future ahead of you is dangerous, my child, but always remember that with your “Promise Mate” beside you, both of you shall conquer your enemies. I don't know if you will remember this when you grow up, but never let what will happen today ruin your life, child. You have a bigger responsibility ahead. But you can never accomplish it without your “Promise Mate." The Oracle spoke gently to Theo, who kept nodding his head as if he understood what the old woman was saying

"Yes, I will tell you everything," Sticking out my pinkie finger, I extended it toward him. "Promise?" He looked at me, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Are we really doing a pinkie promise? What are we, five-year-olds?" I persisted, undeterred by his teasing. "It doesn't matter how old we are. You need to make this promise and seal it." He looked at his injured hand encased in a bandage. "I can't seem to use my hand." "That's not a problem," I reassured him, rising from his side. Taking his free hand, I hooked my pinkie finger with his and sealed the pact with our thumbs. "Promises are meant to be kept."

"She's only staying for two days. She'll definitely move out before the wedding." I said nothing. I only looked at him coldly. He stepped closer and lowered his voice, trying to coax me. "I promise nothing will happen between Abbie and me. In my eyes, she is practically one of the guys. I am not attracted to her."

Because Marie had to leave at that time, and in order to conclude their talk and her beautiful bond with Jean, Marie requested, “Jean, promise me that when we both grow up and get a job, we will meet each other. Promise me that you will stay in touch with me; you have my email and my phone number as well. Promise me that you will keep our friendship a secret, and you will not let any other girl become your best friend.” With a very heavy voice and a little positivity in her mind with the hope of meeting her first love again in life after a couple of years, Jean replied, “Pinky Promise!”

Don't let a kid's promise hold you back. I kept silent as Allie's soft words slowly sunk in. I didn't want to admit it, but she was right. I was just afraid to let go of the one thing that I'd been holding on as a hope that he'd come for me. I feared that if I let go of this promise, there would be no ties between us, every moment we spent would be vanished in thin air, like it never happened in the first place.

Looking at the probing in his eyes, Valerie replied lightly, “Well, since no one knew it was my birthday, it was a bit awkward, so I just made a joke. I didn’t expect everyone to take it that way. Sorry about that.” Dominic sighed in relief. “So what was your real wish?” “I hoped for my mom and dad to have good health and for all their dreams to come true.” It was a simple and heartfelt wish. Dominic felt a soft tug at his heart. He reached out to lightly rub her nose with his hand and gave her a small smile. “You’re so filial.
