KHEERAI sat down by the beach enjoying the breeze and the little noise coming from the water waves .It's my daily routine since I came to this place ,do my morning exercise and seat by the beach side before returning home to eat and probably read books .I stood up and placed by headset back on my ear listening to Ed _ sheeran's bad habit . I jogged back to the house humming the song .I paused when I saw a car parked in front of the house and two figures standing outside my door .What's going on ? I ran faster but paused in my tracks when the car and the people standing became clearer . Raymond and Tracy.I walked slowly to where they stood questioning the reason why they are here in my head .The two of them being together means they've reconciled right ? I hope so ...." Hi " I greeted immediately I got there not looking at any of them in the eye .Tracy signalled to Raymond and he left us to sit in the car ,I stared at his back which is turned at me ,it's been a month since I
( Final chapter) Few months later .............KHEERA I woke up in the morning and rushed to check my phone to see if I've missed a call from Raymond but I got dissapointed . Not even a call from Tracy! It's my birthday for crying out loud and there's no call or text from the two of them .Am I being taken for granted now ? I dragged my feets lazily to take my bathe and head to work .I smiled at the thought that they might be planning a surprise for me . Even my parents didn't call . Few minutes later ........ I got to work and I got the usual normal greetings from my co workers ,I entered my office , I'm sure Tina won't forget my birthday even if everyone else does. " Hi Tina !" I greeted cheerfully expecting her to scream and wish me a happy birthday . " Welcome kheera " she replied without paying attention to me very engrossed in whatever she's doing on the computer in front of her. I hissed and walked to sit down on my chair . " Kheera I'm sorry I forgot ! " She yel
Six months later ............KHEERA I tossed and turned scattering the duvet wrapped around my body with my leg in annoyance as the blaring noise coming from my cell phone wouldn't stop .I stood up with annoyance and I picked up my phone .David ? Why is David calling me this early in the morning? He'll have to pay me for extra hours ...I resume by 9 for goodness sakes ." Sorry did I wake you ?" He asked immediately I answered the call ." Of course you did " I replied yawning lazily ." I'm sorry .....kheera I need your help " . I paused for a while ,why is he sounding so desperate ." What's going on ?" I asked gently ." I ...uhm ....I want to propose to Tracy tonight " he replied nervously and I let out a gasp .Of course I'm shocked ! They started dating after I got engaged to Raymond and that's just six months and now he wants to propose to her ? David and I finalized the preparation since he wanted to do something simple and we ended the call .I sank into my knees and I
RAYMOND I just stood still staring at her as she walked back into her office. What exactly is going on? And why is she mad at me ?. I kicked start my car and I drove back to my office .I'm sure she'll be in a better mood by the time we see each other tonight for David's proposal .And hopefully she'll tell me what I did wrong .KHEERA Office hours went by slowly but thankfully it's over .... David kept on calling me to his office to make sure the plan is in motion while Tina kept on bragging about " this man " she's getting engaged to.I have an eerie feeling about the man but I'm not even sure if it is really my mind that's speaking or jealousy .I got home ,dressed up and head over to Tracy's workplace .The plan is for me to invite her out and then boom ! David proposes. I hope I get this right because I'm so disturbed , jealous and angry ." Hi bestie ". Tracy yelled and pulled me into a warm hug immediately I got to her office. " You look good !" She said holding my two ha
KHEERAI stared happily at Tracy and David who are all lovey dovey as they danced .I'm happy for them .... finally my best friend is getting married ! But the thought of Tracy getting married before me is so exhausting and I'm so jealous of her ." You look beautiful tonight ". A familiar voice said and I knew instantly who it was .Raymond!.I ignored him and just kept staring blankly at the couple ." May I have this dance?" He tried again .This is so hard ! Ignoring him is so hard ! Smelling him so up close to me is making it more hard but what do I do ? I need to stay mad at him because I am mad at him .He suddenly grabbed my hand tightly but gently and dragged me out of the hall with everyone's attention on us ." What is it ?" I yelled and yanked my hand off his immediately we got outside the restaurant ." I should be asking you that kheera ....what's going on ?" He demanded although his voice sounds really gentle and that has already melted my heart ." I don't know what y
RAYMOND " Hey newly engaged ". I greeted cheerfully immediately I got to Tracy's shop . She blushed and pulled me into a hug ." David told me he planned it all with you and kheera ...thanks lil brother". She replied and I smiled and patted her gently . She pulled away from the hug and I stared suspiciously at her .She's wearing the same dress she wore yesterday . " Did you sleep over at David's?" I asked smiling coyly at her . She covered her face with her two hands . " It kind of happened like that" . She replied shyly like a teenager who has just been caught . " Ohhh right ..." . I replied smiling . " What's going on between you and kheera ?" She suddenly asked and I looked surprisingly at her . " How did you know ?" " After a very time you came to my shop to greet me alone ...plus your face says everything ,kheera was also absent minded yesterday and I noticed how awkward things were between the two of you yesterday so tell me what's going on ?" I stared at her dumb
KHEERA I heard a knock on the door and I frowned .Who could it be at this time of the night ? I peeped through the door knob and I sighed immediately I saw who it was. Ray ...I opened the door gently and he walked in ." Hi " he greeted ." What can I offer you ?" I asked ignoring his greeting .He didn't say anything and just stared at me for what looks like forever then all of a sudden he flinged his hand in front of me .I realized he is wearing the ring and I scoffed ." What are you trying to do ? " I asked heat rising inside of me ." I am now wearing the ring....kheera ". I scoffed again." I am now wearing the ring you forced me to wear ...is that it ?" I hissed and turned to leave but he grabbed my hand turning me back to him .He stood up gently ." I'm sorry kheera ..... I'm sorry I didn't understand how you were feeling .... I'm sorry I didn't speak to you about my plans , I'm sorry I made you feel less , I'm sorry I got you worried kheera " I blinked back the tears
KHEERA I dressed up and headed to work early because I woke up early .Raymond and I have finally patched things up and he's ready to get married. " Hi Tina !" I greeted cheerfully " You are smiling this morning kheera ....did something good happen?" I rolled my eyes at her .This girl and her pokenosing attitude ! " Pokenosing Is not a good attitude for someone who is going to get married in few days which is why I'm wondering why you came to the office today ?". She pouted her mouth childishly ." I know right .... I have a wedding to plan but Mr David called in sick and we have some investors coming in so I had to come to the office ". David called in sick? The workaholic David? In all my almost four years if working with him he has never skipped office .his sickness must be pretty bad.I wonder if Tracy knows about this already . I picked my phone and dialled her number . I called three times before she finally picked .This is actually the first time Tracy wouldn't pic
