Loving Jane 11 #Soul Searching
The sun goes down as the moon takes its place. Stars scattered in the sky cover it as it twinkles like a diamond in the sky. The night comes alive with a symphony of crickets and the soft rustling of leaves. The gentle breeze carries a sense of tranquility, inviting us to gaze up at the celestial beauty above. Lying on the bed, looking at the sky by the window, and watching as the stars twinkle and shine, the view is always fascinating to the young minds of the children, as they continuously stare at it silently. Their imaginations soar as they wonder about the vastness of the universe and the possibility of other worlds beyond our own. The night sky becomes a canvas for their dreams and aspirations, inspiring them to reach for the stars in their own lives. "Mama," Liam calls, watching the sky with fascination. "Why can we only see stars at night and not in the morning? With Liam’s age, his curiosity is growing too, and his mind is full of questions, always looking at me to answer hi
Loving Jane 12 #Where the hell is Brandon?
Where the hell is Brandon? It's ten in the morning, and he is nowhere to be found. I want to shout the words in frustration, but I can’t, at least not in front of the kids. I glanced at my watch again, growing increasingly impatient. Brandon's absence is causing me to worry, as he's never been this late before. I quickly brainstorm possible reasons for his delay, hoping that he's simply caught in traffic or facing a minor inconvenience. I can’t remember how many times I have tried calling, but he hasn’t replied once. As I anxiously tap my foot, I consider the possibility that his phone might be dead or that he accidentally left it at home. The knot in my stomach tightens as I wonder if something more serious could be preventing him from answering. I tried one more time just in case he picked up, but groaned in frustration when he ignored the call. I decided to send him a text message instead, hoping that he'd at least respond to that. As I type out my concern and hit send, a sinking
Loving Jane 13 #My body is Betraying my mind.
“Good morning, Jane. I heard someone greeting me the moment I stepped out of the house. “Good morning, Mrs. Samuel,” I replied with a smile on my face. She is one of my neighbors, whose house is right next to mine. “So... how are you?” “I’m fine,” I said with a smile. “I made some cookies. Why don't you come later and have some for Liam? She said brightly. “I would love to,” I replied, making my way towards Brandon’s house. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel are such a lovely couple in their eighties. Their story is filled with many ups and downs, but yet they are happy together. Looking at them made me think of Jared. He was everything—my boyfriend, my love, my first kiss, my prom partner, everything. In every step of my life, he was there for me, supporting me and standing by my side. We also have our ups and downs, but in the end, we lost our love in the battle of life. And he is nowhere but in my memories. I sighed, shaking my head. I can't change the past, and thoughts of happily ever af
Loving Jane 14 #Who the hell is Marian?
Brandon spent the entire day sleeping. At lunchtime, I went to ask him for lunch, but he was fast asleep, so I left him alone, not disturbing his sleep. Later in the afternoon, I decided to check on Brandon again, hoping he would be awake by then. However, to my surprise, he was still sound asleep, completely oblivious to the passing time. It was almost dinnertime, and I was preparing some food when I heard a knock on the front door. I opened the door, coming face-to-face with Brandon standing in the doorway. His eyes focused down on the ground as he brushed his hand over his hair. I could see that he looked a bit disheveled and tired as if he had just woken up. "Jane," he said softly, his voice filled with remorse. I move aside from the door, giving him space to enter the house. "Come in." As Brandon stepped inside, I noticed a hint of sadness in his eyes. He seemed hesitant, as if unsure of what to say next. Curiosity gnawed at me, but I held back from bombarding him with questio
Loving Jane 15 #Ex-Wife
"Who is she? And what power does she possess to separate you from her?" I inquired, eager to understand the situation fully. Brandon glanced at me, running his hand over his hair before he sighed heavily. “Marian is my ex-wife.” Brandon’s married, and I’m hearing about it now. After five years, great. I couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and frustration at the revelation. It was disheartening to learn about Brandon's marital status after such a long time of being friends. “You are married, and you’re telling me now,” I said, my voice tinged with disappointment. "Why didn't you mention this before?" I couldn't help but wonder why Brandon had kept his marital status a secret for so long. “Was,” Brandon corrected with a stern face. I couldn't help but notice a shift in Brandon's demeanor as he corrected me. His stern face hinted at a deeper story behind his past marital status, leaving me even more curious about the reasons for his secrecy. “Was…, but not once in the last five y
Loving Jane 16 #Marry me
“Marian screwed me….. she stated that I’m a doctor and that I can’t give much time to my daughter, so she demands the court give her full custody of Marlene because I’m not a good father to her,” he uttered without pausing in between his words. I recollected my thoughts with all the information he stated before responding, “So…, what are you planning to do now?” I asked, genuinely concerned about his next steps in this difficult situation. “I don’t know,” he added, sighing loudly, with his hands pressed on his temples. He looked visibly distressed, his eyes filled with worry and uncertainty. "I never imagined it would come to this," he continued, his voice trembling slightly. We are both silent for a minute, not knowing what to say, with both our minds loaded with all kinds of thoughts about how we can solve this problem. But there is one thing I know for sure: Marlene is an undetectable part of Brandon himself, and separating him from her will demolish both their lives. The bond b
Loving Jane 17 #NO…
“Marry me,” Brandon said, the forbidden words hanging in the air between them. “No,” I said, without giving it a second thought. Brandon's hopeful expression faltered as if he hadn't anticipated my immediate rejection. I freed my hands from his grasp, turning my face away from him. I could feel the weight of his disappointment settling on my shoulders, but I knew deep down that saying yes would have been a betrayal to myself. I don’t even want to look at his face after hearing his words. “Jane, listen to me first,” he said, calling my name as he grabbed my shoulder, turning my body towards him, face to face. His eyes pleaded with me, searching for understanding. I could see the vulnerability in his gaze, but my resolve remained unyielding. Brandon stared into my eyes. But my mind was so outraged by his words that I shoved his hands away from my shoulder. I took a step back, creating distance between us. The anger within me intensified as I struggled to find the right words to expr
Loving Jane 18 #I do
“Okay,” I said, as I put all the pros and cons in the situation we are in, right at the moment. Listening to my words, Brandon stared at me, with his mouth opened a bit and his face holding an unreadable expression on it. Maybe by shock or by surprise. “What… I mean, are you sure?” Brandon asked with his voice trembling. “Yes, I’m,” I replied with my voice rigid, with no hesitation in my voice or my statement. Brandon beamed at my reply, wrapping his arms around my body and embracing me tightly. “Brandon, but only on one condition,” I said, as Brandon separated his arms from my body and stared right into my eyes with confusion. Brandon hesitated for a moment before continuing. “What do you mean?” “I will marry you, only if you agree to my terms,” I stated firmly, my gaze unwavering. Brandon's expression shifted from confusion to curiosity as he leaned in closer, eager to hear my conditions.“What terms?” he asked, surprised. “That, even after marriage, you’ll not be a husband,”
