Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 22
SARAHThe ambulance arrived at the hospital, and I followed the hospital attendants as they rushed Raya inside on a stretcher. I could see the urgency in their faces, and my heart sank as they wheeled Raya into the emergency room. The attendants shouted instructions to each other, and the room was filled with the sound of beeping machines and rushing footsteps. I tried to force my way into the operating room but one of the attendants held me out."Just wait outside and let us attend to her. We'll let you know of the outcome!" But I was too stubborn to listen. But then, Leo grabbed me from behind and drew me away from the ward as I struggled to free myself. The tears in my eyes were uncontrollably falling and my heart was heavy.I sat on the waiting bench, my hands soaked with Raya's blood. Negative thoughts began to ring in my head and I tried to fight the thoughts, believing that Raya would be fine.Lilian held my shoulders and spoke comforting words to my ea

LEOAs Sarah and I sat in the doctor's office, the doctor pulled a file out of his drawer and placed it on the desk in front of us. "These are the results of the latest tests we've run," he said, his tone serious. "I'm afraid it's not good news." We both exchanged a worried glance, and my heart sank. "What does it say?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Raya is pregnant" he announced. "Raya's condition is complicated by the fact that she's pregnant," the doctor said, looking at both of us with sympathy. "We don't know how far along she is, or how the pregnancy will affect her coma. I'm afraid there's a lot of uncertainty here." "But, Sarah would have told me if she was pregnant. She's not into any relationship of any sort!" Sarah said, and she seemed confused, trying to fathom the possibility."She's 3 weeks gone and we just found out today." The doctor said. "The kidnappers.. they raped Raya!!." I could see the shock in Sarah's eyes. "I'm

SARAHAs I lay on the bed, I could hear the faint sound of a knock at the door. I was in no mood to answer, but the door opened regardless. It was Leo, looking sheepish and apologetic. "What are you doing here?" I snapped. "I'm so sorry to barge in like this." Leo stammered, his words tumbling out in a rush. "I just wanted to talk to you. Please, can you just hear me out?"My voice was barely audible, but I managed to speak, "I'm all ears, Leo." Leo let out a sigh of relief and sat on my bed. His eyes were glued to the ground and he didn't say a single word."I'm listening, Leo", I said, drawing back his attention. "I'm going to the hospital to run a DNA test on Clara. I need to know for sure if that baby is mine." Leo said, his voice shaking slightly. "If the baby is mine, I have to do what's right by it. I can't deny my flesh and blood." I just shook my head in agreement with whatever he said. Who was I to object? "It's fine. You should go." That was al
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 25
SARAH I paced the hospital corridor, my anxiety growing with each passing minute. I kept glancing at the door to Raya's ward, wondering what was going on inside. A few nurses hurried past me, their faces grim. I caught one of them by the arm. "What's happening?" I asked but the nurse gently released herself from my grip."Just calm down, we're doing our best." With that, the nurse dashed inside the Ward. The minutes ticked by slowly as I waited in the hospital's dimly lit waiting room. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting shadows on the walls. I sat on a hard plastic chair, my knees bouncing with nervous energy. Finally, the door opened and the doctor in blue scrubs emerged. I jumped to my feet. "Please, how is she?" I asked, my voice trembling. The doctor paused, his expression grave. I could tell by the look on his face that he was about to pass on some bad news, but I waved it off."Talk to me, Doctor!!!." I yelled impatiently."I'm sorry Sa

LEO"Leo, please come and help me out. I'm having a sharp pain in my waist and I can't bear it." It was Clara showcasing her dramatic abilities. Ever since her belly protruded, she would always find a way to get on my nerves.I was with Sarah in the living room, and she lay on my thighs as we watched a Television show together.Sarah's grief took a physical toll on her body. She lost her appetite, and her already slender frame became gaunt and fragile. She barely left her room, spending most of her days lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. When she did venture out, it was only to take short walks around the block, lost in her thoughts.I could see how much Sarah was suffering, and I knew I had to do something to help her. I took some time off work, to spend some time with her and to be by her side. We sat in the living room, watching a TV show when Clara distracted us with her annoying demands. I ignored her and kept watching the TV, but Sarah pinched me.
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 27
SARAHClara was wheeled into the ward on a gurney, her body limp and still. I stood frozen, watching as the gurney was pushed inside a ward. Guilt and fear twisted in my gut, and I couldn't take my eyes off Clara's prone form. "Oh God, what have I done?" I whispered, my voice breaking. With my eyes brimming with tears, I turned to Leo, who stood at a distance, and clung to him."Shh, it's going to be okay," Leo whispered, holding me tightly. "We don't know what's going to happen yet, so don't blame yourself for something that hasn't even happened. We'll get through this together." I nodded, trying to take comfort in his words. But the guilt still gnawed at me. Suddenly, I caught sight of his mother standing in the doorway and so, I drew away from him. His mother's eyes were cold and hard, and I felt a shiver of fear run down my spine. I knew I had crossed a line, and I braced myself for the coming confrontation. "Mum, I..." I began, but his mother cut me

LEOSarah paused, staring at me like she had seen a ghost."I... I'm sorry, what did you say?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper."I said, let's get married," I spoke firmly.Sarah's hand clutched the towel around her body and took a step back, putting a bit of distance between herself and me. "I... I don't understand," she stammered, shaking her head. "We... we've never even talked about getting married before." "I know Sarah," I said, getting on my feet."I've thought about this for a very long time, and I realized that it's the best thing to do.""Why Leo, why marry me?." Sarah asked."Well, at least you will have a ground here with the Limberts, just in case.""Do you only want to marry me because you feel sorry for me?" Sarah blurted out. "No, that's not it at all," I said in my most earnest voice."Then why would you bring up marriage all of a sudden?." She asked, crossing her arms across her bosom. "I'm in love with you, Sarah!."Sarah c
Love At Last Flight CHAPTER 29
SARAH.Clara had been staying with Leo's mother until the baby was mature enough to grow on its own. Julian brought her back to the house on a cool Friday morning, I sat by the poolside, having a glass of orange juice.The sound of Julian's car pulled into the garage and came to a stop. Clara got out, holding her baby. I didn't bother to welcome them, I remained by the poolside, watching the two from a distance.I watched in disbelief as Julian kept pulling luggage out of the trunk of the car. Bag after bag, box after box, it seemed like there was no end to the amount of stuff that Clara had brought with her. "How is she going to fit all of that into the house?" I wondered aloud. It was a large house, and there was going to be enough room for the extra belongings, so I waved the thoughts away.As Julian walked ahead, Clara trailed behind him, cradling her baby in her arms. She smiled down at the sleeping baby and walked on.A few minutes later, Julian reappeared,
