"Hello, mumma! I am angry with you! You were supposed to call me three times a day! But you didn't. As I am angry, now you have to buy me three ice cream and they all have to be my favourite flavour! You got it?" Aaron heard Ryan's demanding voice over the phone. He was shocked and wasn't sure what to say or do. After Luke left, he was drowned in a lot of thoughts and suddenly he heard a ringtone go off. It wasn't his phone. The phone kept ringing. When he looked around a little, he found a phone with a cracked up screen under his table. It didn't take him time to understand whose it was. It was Athaliah's. She was getting a call from someone whom she saved as 'My Life'. He immediately fisted his fingers thinking it was Robin or some other man. He was going to throw it again and break it into pieces when it started ringing again. Suddenly he thought to receive it and find out about who her life was and he seriously wasn't ready for t

"Mumma? Who was that man from hospital who helped you?" Ryan asked Athaliah while walking in the park. He was holding her fingers tightly.Athaliah flinched at the question. She clearly understood about whom Ryan was asking. He was asking about Aaron. She didn't know how to answer this question. She doesn't want to hide his father's identity from him. Even though his father didn't want him. Also as they are in the same town now, he will eventually get to know about Aaron and she doesn't want him to know about it from others. But she knew it wasn't the right time to reveal about Aaron to him.Unaware of the matter that her son already talked to his father and even invited him to their little ice cream party. She was still thinking on how to reply when Ryan again spoke up."Is he your friend?" He asked hopefully. The look he was giving her was full of exc

The pain was worse. She felt like someone was hammering her head. She tossed on the bed, gently opening her eyes to stop this assault. There was no one around her. She was alone lying on the bed in a semi-dark room. It wasn’t night. She could see beams of light from the edges of the thick curtains. Why was she sleeping in day time? She never liked it unless she was tired and sick. Sick?? Yes. She felt sick and heavy. Her movements felt rigid and unbearable.The door knob clicked open and Aaron entered the room. Memories of their ugly fight stormed in her brain and she recalled the reason for her sickness. It wasn’t just dizziness or regular panic attacks that put her unconscious, it was the ugliest anxiety attack she had ever had. She fisted her fingers the moment he neared the bed."Glad you woke up." He said in a completely normal tone with a smile, taking a seat next to her on bed. "You had a very long sleep. Looks like you didn't

"I have a deal for you." Athaliah said while sitting in front of Aaron with crossed legs.    Her tone, posture, attitude, everything was screaming professionalism. Aaron raised his eyebrows at her. His face turned stony too.   "Something never changes, huh?" He murmured to himself while looking intensely at her.   "True. At least I never changed like the other people did around me." Athaliah said.   Aaron was smart enough to catch the taunt behind her words. She was taunting him as if everything was his fault, when it wasn't his fault at all. It was all her. Still he was here, taking care of her, trying to hear himself out and accept her back in his life for his daughter even though she has a son. Also he was already pissed off at her for her words before entering the room.    The way she said their moments don't matter to her, made him sound desperate to have her back

"Rhea?" Aaron asked his daughter confusingly after coming into the living room of the outhouse.   "Yes, Papa?" Rhea answered pretty seriously with concentration and a careful look on her pretty face.    Aaron raised his eyebrows at her and looked around the room.    "Why are you standing there like this? And where is your Mumma?" He asked after reaching her and kneeling down in front of her.    "I am guarding this carefully as Momma asked me to. So that no one steals it." She said and handed an envelope to her father.   Aaron looked at the envelope with a frown and took it in his hands.   "What is it?" Aaron asked.    "Mumma asked me to give it to you. She also gave me this. See." Rhea said excitedly and showed him a beautiful pendant that she was wearing currently.    Aaron immediately recogn
