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
RAYMOND I stood still shocked at what Tracy said but I know I need to give them space to talk ." I need to check something inside the room ". I said and walked into her room .I know Tracy loves David so why is she treating him this way? The memories of the time that kheera used to treat me this harshly flashed in my head and I know how much pain David must be going through. I'll talk to Tracy after this, I need to know why she's acting this way towards him .**************DAVID I walked closer to where she stood and I used my thumb to wipe the tears on her face and she melted in my arms ." I know you do not mean all of the things you've just said ....."She opened her mouth to talk but I placed my hand on her lips to shut her up. She looked at me with her teary eyes .I pulled her in gently and kissed her for what seemed like forever and she kissed me back .I pulled away gently from the kiss .I already know what I want to know .She loves me and that's enough .... whatever
TRACYI just stared at him blankly .He came closer to where I stood and he placed his hand on my head ." Tell me sis ...are you feeling sick ?" He asked again and I sighed gentlyDo I tell him what's going on ?It's going to be too much for him to bear and I cannot handle that ." Tell me sis ...what's wrong?". RAYMONDShe looked like she was going to tell me something but she nodded her head negatively and sighed. " I'll tell you about it Ray .....but not now " I stared at her for a while ." Whatever it is .... I know you have a good reason for not wanting to tell me but remember we only have each other and I'll gladly listen to you whenever you want to talk ". She smiled at me and I smiled back too." Oh my God ...look at my little brother maning up already ". She yelled hitting my shoulder ." Refrain from hitting my boyfriend like that Tracy ". Kheera said and we both turned to see her standing by the door ." How long have you been there for?" Tracy and I chorused together
LKHEERA I picked up immediately ." David ?" I called gently ." Hi kheera ...I hope it's not too late in the night for this call?" He asked his voice sounding very low and distant.I glanced at Raymond who's attention is fully on the steering and I turned my attention back to the car ." No David ....what's going on?" ." I need someone to talk to and I can only think of you ...." I know it's about Tracy and I'm happy he wants to confide in me .... something my best friend is not doing ." I'm happy you want to talk to me about your worries David and trust me I'm all ears ." " It's ....it's Tracy ...after I proposed to her she started acting strange ..at first I felt it was just this mood swing and all that but I knew it had become serious the moment she broke up with me during a dinner ". I sighed the moment he paused .Broke up with him ? Why ? I didn't say anything ,I just waited for him to continue talking ....I'm sure all he needs is a listening ear ." So I went back to
TRACYImmediately I saw kheera drop in front of my shop the following day I knew what she came for .I know she won't give up until I tell her what's going on but the fact that I can't tell her the truth and I also cannot possibly lie to her is just so exhausting ." Tracy !!!" She yelled bringing me out of my thoughts. " Hey bestie " I greeted smiling cheerfully at her ." Come here" she said motioning for me to come into her arms .I walked childishly into her arms and we hugged for what seemed like forever.KHEERA " Tell me exactly what's going on and please no lies ....and trust me whatever it is I'll always be on your side ". I said after we've had enough fun .We played ,cooked ,gisted about our school days. ,her troubles .It's been a long time we did all that so it was really fun .We sat down together and I popped the question .She remained quiet for what feels like forever and that is enough evidence that it is something serious .Of all the people I've met in my entire l
RAYMONDI knocked gently on kheera's door and the door pulled open immediately .We hugged and she invited me in ." How are you ?" I asked gently swallowing the urge to ask her questions about how her meeting with Tracy went. " I'm fine .....why are you here this late ?" She asked pouting her mouth. " Am I not allowed to come see my wife to be ?" I asked teasing her and she smiled ." Come on, you know that's not what I meant ...you didn't call or text me so it's just unusual ". I kept quiet and just stared at her blankly ." Is it about Tracy?" She asked and I nodded gently ." You em ....said you wanted to speak to her first before telling me anything so I just wanted to find out how it all went ". She sighed gently after listening to me .She drew me closer and brought my face to hers ." I know I made a promise to Tracy not to tell you .... but after thinking about it I feel for the first time breaking a promise with her and telling you the truth is the best thing to do ....I
RAYMONDI knocked gently on Tracy's door the following morning ,I had a rough night , I couldn't sleep and I tried countlessly to come and check her immediately that night but I kept calming my self to wait till the following morning .She opened up after a while and that was when I noticed she had grew dark circles under her eyes and she has grew slimmer than before ....the exact way mum looked back then.How could I not have noticed ? I was busy thinking about myself that I never knew my sister was dying . I'm such a stupid person ! " Raymond !!!" She yelled jerking me back to reality ." You okay ? You looked lost and I've been calling your name for a while ". She continued and I nodded gently ." I've been having way too many visitors these days , you guys are starting to choke me ". Immediately she finished she coughed and I rushed to check her body temperature ." Are you okay ? Are you fine ? Are you feeling pain ? Should I get a doctor?"." I only coughed Ray ....what's goin
