“Sofia” He muttered, turning to the side for a little while and it was the most defeated that Sofia had ever seen Oscar’s eyes. He desperately tried to hide them from me but she was quick, catching a glimpse of how burdened they were with the secrets he held back from her. And each moment that passed that she was in the dark, her heart broke, little by little. “Oscar?” She called, after the whole speech urging him to trust her but all he did was fall back into his chair.“Just…Sofia, just let it go” He said. “No” Sofia immediately threw herself forward as she shook her head. “I’m not letting it go. Quite frankly, I can’t let it go. I made a vow—““Enough with the vows!” He raised his voice it was like a rumble of thunder of her head. Sofia fell quiet faster than light, pushing the hardest lump down her throat and when their eyes met, hers grew moist.“Enough with the vows?” She softly echoed and this was her greatest fear. “Sofia…” “Enough with the vows?” By the sound of her voice,

Morning came slower than a wounded snail.But it was no surprise as Sofia barely even closed her eyes to sleep. The whole night she’d spent lying on her back with her eyes fixated to the ceiling. She’d cried until no more tears departed from her eyes and now, she laid on her side, watching the sun rise from the windows.She knew when Oscar had gotten up and now, she could hear the whish-whoosh sounds from the shower, which made her heart sink. How could he feel so comfortable going back to work so soon when their worlds only just recently imploded on them.“It’s bad” His words kept echoing back to her over the course of the night. “The doctor said it’s bad.” But how bad? Of course she comforted him but a million thoughts and questions still roamed freely in her head.How bad?How long—two of the most terrifying ones. After everything, Sofia had been cautious to ask the questions, partly for Oscar and also because her heart could only take so much. Lying there, her arms folded across h

“Oscar.” Let it be known that hours had passed now since Sofia had heard the words she feared the most. The thing was she didn’t even realize she feared them until it came like a slap in her face. And on top of the many questions she already had were more.“I declined the clinical trial” Oscar had informed her and her lips uncontrollably fell apart as she stared at him. His mind was made up and she could see the firmness in his eyes, in this decision he had come to by himself—without even telling her after agreeing to go through this together. She was mute, stung by both betrayal and shock, and anger. “Oscar!” It just didn’t make any sense. She was aware of a clinical trial that his father, Ronald did and he confessed to how the medicine was a lot helpful to him even though he already had a prognosis. The thing was with the damage of the condition and Ronald’s age, surgery was never an option.His best bet was the clinical trial but it could only do so much. Being in its early expe

The winds rustled through the trees, tricking up Sofia’s nose as she held her hands a cup of coffee. Her eyes were bright and there was a smile across her face, he was there.Theodore.And in that moment, she recalled the very first day they spent here, that she was battling with the first chapter of her book and he told her the story of the Salem witches while at it. By now, she wasn’t still sure she believed that story but it had truly been a long time since then.And a lot had happened, if only she knew then half the things that were going to go down, including kissing Theo and the excruciating love triangle but most of all, that she would marry the man of her dreams, Oscar. And Theo and herself would be back as the best of friends. Then in about two years, they’d be sitting on these very chairs, recounting almost everything they whilst sharing laughs. It would be a normal day but it wasn’t. No matter how much she wished it was, there was always that dawning thought of Oscar and

As Sofia sat across from Doctor Barry, she found her hands slowly and unconsciously reach for Oscar’s. Smiling at him, she knew that was all it would take for his anxieties to calm. She wouldn’t be his wife if she didn’t notice the slightest changes in his mood and countenance each time.But Sofia knew that Oscar was one of the strongest people she’d met in her whole life and times that she had to reassure herself with those words, she was convinced that her make it out of this. But in that moment however that the doctor walked into the room, it was okay that both their hearts skipped a beat. Because alas, it was in the now they lived in but luckily, Doctor Barry was just as calming as he was reassuring. He took a seat, but placing to the side about a gazillion files and documents.“Oh don’t look at these” Were the first words he said as both Sofia and Oscar’s eyes fell to the table and they chuckled a little. “It’s just formality, I’d tell you everything that you need to know” He co

There was a piercing sound that rang in Sofia’s ears, coupled with an outer worldly experience, one inexplicable and harrowing that could only come from seeing someone you thought you would never see in your life.At least, again.You all know Freya, Sofia’s sister who had disappeared when she was eight and who she only realized had left to flee from Mr Henderson, a fate bestowed on Sofia as well but one she escaped by a hair’s breadth. Though his trial was still months away, it was safe to say to Mr Henderson was behind bars. He really was, the only threat now was Dimitri who didn’t dare show his face after everything that happened and everyone was sure it was going to remain that way.But that was something different.Because now, Sofia could swear her heart skipped a beat, a stomp so loud that she felt it reverberate her entire body and the two faced each other, after years of being apart. Sofia wanted nothing more than to see her sister but right now that she did, she didn’t even

“Sandra, is it?”“It’s Sofia” She corrected as she took a seat next to Victoria. And Sofia was quick to lean in. “What’s really going on, Freya?” On the edge of her seat, she asked with an arch between her brows.“I’m sorry” Freya whispered and at some point, there was almost tears in her eyes, which she batted her lashes to hold back and they faced each other again, somewhat alone because Theo was a far distance from them, casually leaning against the wall.“I want to tell you truth” It was Vikky’s voice that drifted Sofia’s attention and now, there was a brisk silence in the room before she said.“I might be Freya, and you might be right” She started. “I know you are, I know I am” Sofia didn’t waste a second to reassure her but it was then Victoria grasped her hands. “The truth is ten years ago, I was in a car accident,” Her voice cracked a bit and Sofia was taken aback.“A car accident?”“Yes, one that almost claimed my life. And because of that, I spent nine months in a coma due t

As Sofia’s eyes looked about the room, there was a sudden sound that drew her attention. Thinking it was the door, she changed route and somehow landed herself in the kitchen.There her lips fell slightly as she met her mother.“What…what are you doing back this early?” She asked, scoffing a little and Theresa lifted her gaze to show she was a little taken aback. “It’s evening, how long do you want us to spend at the farmer’s market?” She asked and as Sofia looked at the clock, confirming it really was that late, the next time she looked at her mum, she was almost squealing.With eyes as hollow and dilated as it could, she pushed herself closer to where her mother was. “It’s actually six pm” She replied but everyone was aware that wasn’t the reason she was even so excited.“Why are you so excited?” Theresa asked the obvious question, looking about the fresh bags of groceries. “You wouldn’t believe what happened, ma. Who I just saw—“ Rip the bandaid…Freya, Victoria or how would she te
