“Will you ever accept someone like me as your better half, Ella?” Ariella's face got deprived of every kind of emotion as soon as she heard him asking that question to her. She went completely stiff which didn't go unnoticed by him. Guilt washed over him for ruining this moment with his desperate question where she was feeling so happy.“I am sorry,” he apologised to her, looking remorseful. Ariella felt him pecking her forehead before he pulled back to look into her eyes.“If you would give me your acceptance then it's going to make me fall for you more,” he spoke out in his soft voice and she heard him in complete silence.“But it doesn't mean your rejection is going to make me love you any less, Ella. I love you and that's the existence of my life,” he confessed to her, honestly. It was the ultimate truth of his life that his love for her would continue to exist even after his own existence would get removed from this world. That deeply he was drowned in her that he knew there had

In the evening, Kieran returned from his work. He halted his car in front of his bungalow’s gate and then grabbed those two bouquets of flowers from the passenger seat. One was for their mum and one was for his Ella. After all, it was his duty and priority to keep his girls happy. Smiling to himself, he got out of his car and went towards the main door with those flower bouquets in his hands.Kieran entered his house as he already knew about the security passcode to unlock the doors. He didn't ring the doorbell today because he wanted to surprise both of them with these flower bouquets. Kieran stepped inside the hall but his smiling face converted into a confused reaction when he noticed that there was too much silence in his house today unlike he had expected. He had gotten used to see his and their mum watching television together whenever he returned from his work or to witnessed his Ella roaming around the entire house, radiating and filling their house with positivity and warmth

“I love you, Ella…..”Ariella shot open her eyes and saw that white ceiling above her head which she had been seeing from the past five years. Yes, it had been five years since she left him alone. It had been five years since she had left her heart, her soul behind her. It had been five years she had left her love behind her but his voice, his presence, his reflection had never left her alone, even in her closed eyes because he had gotten engraved in her very existence and she could never part him away from it…. neither did she want to do it because his memories were one of the biggest reasons she had been still holding onto her life, even after leaving her reason of living behind her five years ago.Getting up, she sat on her bed and then tilted her head to look at that window which was giving her that beautiful view of the morning. It immediately glossed up her amber eyes. One more morning without him. One more day she would have to endure without him. One more day she would have to

After a few days, Ariella was dressing up her daughter, Arien, for her school in the morning.“Arien, stay still, baby,” Ariella uttered, making her toddlers pigtails but her little girl was jiggling them while giggling, making her mother's task more difficult.“Arien, you will be late for school. Your school bus will be here in five minutes,” Ariella said, finishing making her toddlers' dark brown hairs’ pigtails. After that, Ariella grabbed the baby moisturising lotion from the dressing table and then applied its dots all over her little girl's face and hands.Arien tittered when her mother put a kiss on her nose tip before applying the lotion there. Ariella also smiled, seeing her child giggling which had now become the only source of her happiness. Seeing her daughter happy, she felt content because this world had left her with nothing but pain and pain and in that darkness of pain, her daughter was like a tiny ray of happiness for her.“Okay now done,” she rubbed the lotion on he
