“He’s fine, but he escaped death narrowly” the doctor finally talked, smiling widely
” You scared me” Carolyn said, holding her chest
“” And we’re sorry such a thing happened here, now I know how much you love your family, Mrs Albert… Mr Albert almost destroyed everywhere when he couldn’t find you and Robin” the doctor said
Philip said calmly, ” now it seems everything will come back to normal’ he thought
Melanie felt like puking again and rushed to the restroom, Philip rushed after her and rubbed her back gently as she puked
“Sweetheart are you ok?” He asked as he held a handful of her hair
“I need to go for test, though I think I know what it is but we still need verification” she replied as he helped her stand
He guided her out and handed her over to the doctors for test, he waited patiently outside the lab for her to come out and some minutes later, she did
“How was it?” He asked
She handed a paper to him with smiles on her face
“That’s the test result” she said, still smiling
He took it and slowly opened it
“OMG you’re a month and a half pregnant!”
“You’re becoming a father” she gushed
Philip quickly bent in front of her and kssed her stomach uncountably though it’s not protruding yet but the joy that their baby is in there is immeasurable
“Melanie I love you so much!”
“Same here baby, love you like no one” she replied
“I just heard the right thing right?” Carolyn said, coming closer
“Yes ma’am, I’m pregnant” Melanie replied
Carolyn jumped for joy and Sally joined In the jubilation, finally some good news to be happy about…
****
Valerie slept off Immediately she entered the car earlier and she woke up to find herself in a building, tied up like a captive
“Why am I here?, Where’s this place?” She wondered aloud
“I took you here to get down with you” Darien’s voice said, coming from a corner
” Darien?”
“Yeah it’s me, I set the driver who drove you, I was the one who told him to stay there till when you’ll come out” he replied, grabbing her hair
” Let me go!!” She cried
“Mum always told me to get what I want by any means I know, and that’s exactly what I’m doing” he said, pushing her to the ground
” You can’t do this to me!” Valerie cried, trying to free herself
” Well no one says that” he replied and just as his hands touched her skirt, the door got broken and Lillian led in the cops
“Lillian!” Valerie shouted
Lillian rushed to her while the cops got Darien who obviously has nothing to say but shock is obvious on his face
For someone who wasn’t expecting the cops to show up
“Bastard!” Lillian spat and hit his head as he was led out of the place
“Thanks baby, I thought I was gonna lose it to him, I love you and a friend like you is so rare” Valerie said when they got out of the building, actually one of Darien’s mum’s building
“It’s ok dear, I love you more” Lillian replied , hugging her…
***
Mr Fido Macaulay’s mansion**
“I wonder why Darien hasn’t called” Linda wondered loudly, settling beside Fido on the couch in the living room
“He’s a stubborn jerk, he might just be anywhere” Fido replied
” Boss the cops are here” one of the guards said, coming in
“Cops?” Linda said, leading the way out
“Mr Linda Macaulay, you’re under arrest for your support in your son’s crime, your son Darien Macaulay tried to rape a teenager like him and he’s already in our custody” one of the cops said
” What!, My son?, And why will I be arrested?, I never told him to go rape anyone”
“You’ll find it out yourself when you get to the station, handcuff her” the leader of the squad said
Linda was handcuffed, not minding Fido’s pleads, she was taken away…
*****
Maybe Rico’s body got rotten in the warehouse or was disposed, no one knows, all that is to be known is that he died a gruesome death
Stella needs no trial since she admitted to everything and the evidences are glaring, she was moved to jail on a wheelchair after biting fingers of regrets
Darien was charged to court and of course, Valerie won with Lillian as witness, he was sent to a year in prison and to teach Linda an unforgettable lesson, she was given three months..
So the book is just a book, the book is just a world on its own, just the resemblance of their beginning, not anywhere near their end cos it’s glaring that an happy ending is meant for them
Four days later**
“None of them is waking up” Melanie said beside Robin, holding his hands on the bed
Sally and Carolyn are with Leo
“We don’t have to worry, they’ll wake up according to the doctors, they will” Philip said, patting her back
Carolyn suddenly rushed into the ward happily
“Leo is awake!” She broke the happy news
“OMG!!” Melanie scre-med
” I told you” Philip said and just as they’re about to go out with Carolyn to meet Leo…
“Mummy” Robin’s voice came, they had to rush back to him and he’s surprisingly awake
“My boy!!” Philip scre-med
“My baby” Melanie said, stroking his hair gently, tears of joy fell from her eyes
“My precious” Carolyn said happily too
*Mum I love you so much” he said, trying to sit up
” I love you more dear, stay as you are, it’s not advisable to sit up baby” Melanie said
He smiled sadly
” I don’t want that, all enemies are gone so smile happily, Stella is gone including her accomplice” Philip said
” Really dad?”
*Sure dear” he replied and that’s when Robin smiled sincerely
“I’m sorry for keeping it from you guys, I promise not to do it again, I was just thinking that I don’t want to stress you guys, not knowing I was wrong” he said guiltily
” It’s ok now, just don’t do it again, don’t ever keep a secret anymore” Carolyn said and he nodded, holding Melanie’s hand to his chest
” It’s ok now” he said
“Now I’m seeing my mum in you” Melanie said
“How?, By the way where’s she?” He asked
” Her heart was transplanted into you, you now have her heart, she passed away” Philip said
” Is it because of me?” Robin asked at the brim of tears
” No dear, not because of you, it’s just destined to be like that so don’t cry, and a big news for you…I’m carrying your baby sister” she said
” mum!” He exclaimed and immediately got the strength to sit up slowly
“Mum you’re not kidding right?” He said expectantly
” I’m not, I’m for real, your little sis is living in my tummy” she replied and he hugged her immediately
” I love you so much, and I’ll take care of grandma’s heart very much” he said, closing his eyes on her chest
Philip looked at Carolyn and smiled…
★★★★★
“I thought I was gonna lose you ” Sally said in Leo’s arms
“Thanks for coming back to me Leo, thanks very much” she continued
” Thanks for being the first person I saw when I woke up” he replied, smiling widely as they broke the hug
” And now I know how much I love you” she said
“For real?”
” Yes Leo, I love you so much” she replied, smiling
” Oh go$h, I can’t ask for more” he replied and hugged her tightly…
Philip and Melanie came back to the ward and it was just one Happy galore
“Thanks for saving my life Leo, a friend like you is rare and I’ll forever idolize you” Philip said
” That’s what friends do , I love you ma bro” Leo replied radiantly and they hugged tightly
Sally hugged Melanie and Carolyn just kept smiling
Peace at last
Now that everything bounced back to normal, maybe there won’t be space for sorrows anymore..
Two weeks later**
“Mum you’ll forever be great in our hearts, you’re rare and the best mum one could ever get, I love you ” Melanie said, placing her flowers on Susan’s grave with a smile on her face
“You died to live again… I’ll never forget you mother” Valerie said and dropped her flowers too
” Though I didn’t wake up to meet you, I’m glad I met my pretty daughters, I always see you in them, and this little Robin here has become part of me too, your heart is still with us” Zayn said and dropped his flowers too
“Thanks for being the mother of my sweetheart and the heartbeat of my boy” Philip said after dropping his flowers too
Sally, Lillian, Leo and Carolyn said their speeches too and by the time they’re done, there’s barely any space for flowers again cos the grave has been bedecked with flowers from them..
She’ll indeed have a peaceful rest
Bye Susan 💜
Two months later**
“I heard Mr Fido is in the hospital” Lillian said, walking with Valerie in the hallway
It’s their final exams week… Whitney transferred since Darien got arrested
“Ion care, he called it upon himself for treating Dwayne like that” Valerie replied
” Talking of Dwayne, don’t you miss him?” Lillian said
” Why ask such a question when you already know the answer, Lilian I miss him like crazy!, I still can’t get my mind off him” she replied sadly, staring at her bracelet again…
“I’m sorry, I just hope you both will meet again” Lillian replied, hugging her…
***
” You should go to work you know” Melanie said after breaking the morning kss with Philip
Her pregnancy is protruding and her belly is now bulging but she still looks cute
And since the pregnancy, Philip has refused to go to work
“Sally got it all covered, you don’t have to worry” he said, guiding her downstairs, he made her seat on the couch
Little adult is off to school
“So now, what should I make?”
“Simple guacamoles” she replied
” I’ll make it fast, I love you!” He said, kssing her l-ips before slipping into the kitchen to make her meal
In a jiffy it’s ready, he served the meal and helped her to the dinning table too
She sat and he took a fork
“Ha” he said
She smiled before opening up and he gently shove the fork into her mouth
“How was it?” He asked slowly as she chewed on it
She gave thumbs up with a smile
“The best” she said
He wiped her l-ips with his l-ips before going to get some water from the freezer
She smiled happily
A good home is the synonyms of a happy life story
****
At a restaurant**
“Easy” Leo said as Sally ate impatiently
“I’m starving” she replied
“Glutton” he joked
” Don’t call me that” she rolled eyes and continued eating
” Well I love you like that, even if you can eat two bowls of spaghetti without blinking, I’ll still love you.. it’s unconditional” he said
She blushed heavily and continued eating
He sighted some guys staring at Sally from the other end of the restaurant
He got uncomfortable and stood
He went to her and held her up
“I’m sorry but bear with me, I have to teach some chaps a lesson” he said and kssed her deeply right there, not minding the presence of others
The staring guys looked away immediately
But they were cheered on when people started clapping and gushing at their cuteness
It was a surprise, but Sally is a big fan of surprises, and this, is a sweet surprise
***
Angelina kiddies school**
“Michelle let’s go somewhere” Robin said during lunch break
” Where?, You won’t even let our lunch digest? ” She replied
” It’ll digest there” he pouted, taking her hand
She followed him to the field and he stared into space for a while
“Why are we here?” Michelle asked
“To tell you something” he replied
” What? ”
” Mum and dad says you can only be free to say it when you’re grown up but, I’m a grown up anyways… And even if they don’t see me as one, I see myself as one and that’s why I wanna say…. ”
” What? ”
” I like you…. No it’s love, I love you” he said, avoiding her eyes
Michelle’s cheeks burned red with natural blush
“Wha… What was that?” She stuttered
“That was.. my confession, yeah my confession… And you know what? ” He said
She looked up slowly
” What?”
“I’ll marry you when we grow up, I promise” he said and took her with surprise by kssing her l-ips lightly before rushing off
Michelle touched her l-ips and smiled
“He kssed me”

Six months later**
Valerie thought of nothing else as she drove to school,…. Dwayne
She kept smiling as she thought of him and their memories together
She’s not going to highschool, she’s now a college student, studying medicine like she had always dreamt of
Driving a car is one of the few things she learnt in the past few months and it’s rather fun
She stared at her bracelet as she stopped the car at the parking lot and k-ssed her bracelet
“Dwayne, I wish you a blissful day wherever you are too… and I love you” she said brightly before getting off the car
” Valerie!” Minnie’s voice called from the end of the hallway
Ok Minnie is her new friend, she met her in college, Lillian got accepted in another college though they’re still the best of friends
“Minnie” Valerie smiled and rushed to her
“Always beautiful, I envy you” Minnie gushed, taking her hand
” She has started again” Valerie said
“Yes I’ve started again” Minnie replied and they both laughed as they walked to class..
***
Survivors hospitals**
“Mr Fido, you can’t stand up yet but you’re still trying to stand up, it’s dangerous” one of doctors said and returned him to his sleeping position
He has been in the hospital for the past six months and as a result of too much brooding, he’s now hypertensive
Linda never came back to him after getting released from jail, she travelled out after taking as much of his money as she wanted
“Just look for my son for me please, that’s the only way for me to survive, I need to see him and plead on my knees for all what I’ve done” Fido replied weakly
He has become thin and pale as a result of his condition
“Ok, your son will be found, but you have to rest very well Mr Macaulay, please” the doctor replied
” But I want to see him” he replied again
” Ok, ok, rest, just rest first huh” the doctor replied and injected sedative into his drip
He slept off immediately
***
Philip and Carolyn paced impatiently up and down the hospital hallway, waiting to hear the crying of a baby
Melanie is in with the midwives and doctors, giving birth already
Robin sat quietly on a chair beside them, hoping hærd that his mum and baby sis will be fine
Zayn came in with Valerie after some minutes and they joined in the pacing and hoping till some minutes later when they started hearing the crying of a baby
“Yes!” Philip exclaimed
“I’m so glad, Susan I’m about to meet our grandchild” Zayn said, smiling happily
” My baby sister has arrived” Robin said, finally standing up as the doctor came out all smiles
“It’s a girl, a cute girl, and the mother is just fine too”
“OMG!!!” Valerie scre-med
” I can’t ask for more” Carolyn said, smiling with lots of happiness
“Doctor please make the cleaning up fast , we need to see her as soon as possible” Philip said impatiently
” Of course, the midwives will soon be done cleaning her up” the doc replied and left them
They all took big gulps of happiness immediately, it’s too too much
Later**
“Damn, she’s so pretty!” Philip exclaimed immediately he sighted the baby in the cot beside Melanie
“I know right?” Melanie said slowly
*My grandchild” Carolyn and Zayn said at the same time
They looked at each other and smiled before returning their attention to the baby struggling cutely with her knotted hands in the cot
“My baby sister” Robin gushed, holding her hands delicately
Valerie can’t stop smiling
“I love you so much sweetheart” Philip said and kssed Melanie lightly on the l-ips
“I love you more darling” she replied and he kssed her nose too
“you won’t know how happy I am” he said
“Me too… finally we have a lovestory different from the book, our destiny might be full of trials,ups and downs but we overcame and became triumphant, let’s continue to stay with each other forever” she said
” Yes, always and forever” he replied radiantly and hugged her on the bed..
***
Two weeks later**
” Hey Valerie, ion get this anymore, you told me you wanna show me something, but we’ve been walking for hours” Sally said tiredly, climbing the hilly area with the remaining strength in her
“I’m sorry but it’s really a big surprise” Valerie replied
” If it’s not worth it, I’ll kill you” Sally joked and Valerie giggled
” And here we are” Valerie said when they got to a part
” So what’s up? ” Sally asked and Immediately, sweet smelling flowers poured down on her
She looked up and closed her eyes, inhaling the scent
It’s her favorite Jasmine flavor
Then lights came on everywhere and she started looking around surprisingly
“What’s happening?” She asked, still in surprise
*I wish you’ll give me a chance, in your golden heart*
*I wish you’ll say yes, and be with me forever*
*I wish we’ll explore the beautiful places together each and every day*
“So please, say yes… I love you*
It was Leo who’s actually singing, coming from the other end of the hill with a beautiful flower and a box
“OMG” Sally said slowly
He got to her and gave her the flowers before going down on one knee, she covered her mouth with one hand in surprise
“Sally, you’ve been the best thing that has ever happened to me since I met you, and I always try my best to keep the best things going.. that’s why I don’t want you to leave me Sally, stay with me and let’s spent time together forever…. Sally please marry me” Leo said, smiling as he opened the box ring
“OMG!!!” Sally scre-med, smiling already
Carolyn and Philip with a lot of staffs from the company came out of nowhere and that added to her surprise
“Say yes” they started saying repeatedly and of course she would
“Yes,… Leo yes!” She gushed
Leo slipped the ring on her finger and stood
She was the one who pulled him into a deep kss and the flowers fell on them once again
“I can’t wait to eat the wedding cake” Philip said
“Sure, HNP you’re the best!” Carolyn said loudly
“Gosh!, This is so sweet” Valerie said but it only reminds her of Dwayne
She left the place before anyone and drove down the street in sadness, she’s unaware of when she started crying
She got to the bridge they stayed on while watching fireworks together the other time, she can’t help but cry more
She imagined him beside her and that brought more tears
She later drove to the road where he stopped a cab for her the other day after saving her from getting rapped…
Then the archery where he shot an arrow with her
The arrow is still stuck to the dartboard and she touched it and stayed still for over ten minutes before proceeding to Lighthouse high, she went to the garden and spent almost an hour there, crying
Then her last stop which is his house..
She tried the only thing that came to her head as the password
RETARDED
And the door opened
She entered and a look at the door, she can picture them kssing
Her eyes caught the couch and the only thing she can also picture is their kssing scene too
She went to the bedroom and slept on the bed, hugging the pillow and imagining it as him…
****
Four months later**
Baby Sara is growing cuter everyday, yeah… Sara is Robin’s cute sister name
That cute little girl with rosy cheeks
Philip has resumed work and Carolyn’s company has just been completed, she plans to start being an investor together with Zayn very soon
Zayn is an happy father and Philip won’t even let him work but maybe Philip will have no choice now that Carolyn’s company is completed
Valerie is currently in Singapore for her one year internsh¡p program in a popular hospital over there
Melanie’s school is ready for operation once Sara clocks one year
Sally and Leo got married just two months ago and still remain the cutest couple in town..
Newsflash…. Sally is currently carrying their baby
Fido is in the hospital, still struggling to live as a result of loneliness and maybe he doesn’t have much time to live anymore…
Philip’s album and music video with Justin Bieber will be out next month and millions of fans are waiting for it
***
Singapore**
It’s the snowy time of the year, Valerie drove back from the hospital where her internsh¡p program is going on with tiredness allover her body
The hospital is awesome and they’re obviously one of the best around cos the two months she has spent there is not a joke, she has learnt a lot
She got home and washed tiredness off her body in the bathroom
She put on something simple and made sure to wear an hoodie
She went downstairs to have a meal of bread and jam
Yeah, bread and jam and noodles has become her best food just like Dwayne
Maybe because it’ll always make her imagine him eating with her
She finished eating shortly and though she’s tired, she’ll still cruise the snowy hill
It’s a popular place for hangout in this part of the city..
She drove out of the house and as she cruised the street, she noticed people in red and white
“Oh… February 24, it’s Valentine’s day” she thought sadly
She inhaled hærd
” Happy lovers everywhere, but lonely me”
She got to the snowy hill and stepped out of the car
It’s snowing already and it’s freezing cold but thanks to her thick hoodie
She climbed the no not so tall hill and it’s decorated tonight, maybe because it’s Valentine’s night
Lovers are hanging everywhere and everyone is happy except her
She walked round the place and watched every scene
A love song… “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran is playing in a speaker
She stood on her s₱0t and decided not to go further
Yes, she’s feeling oppressed and jealous
She walked down the hill with tears in her eyes and got in her car
She drove home, crying throughout
She got home and is about to open her door when she noticed her wrist
The bracelet is gone!
She checked her second wrist to be sure but phew!, It’s not there
“My bracelet” she said slowly, searching the ground frantically but it’s nowhere to be found
“The hill” she said and entered her car again, she drove to the hill and rushed out of the car
She climbed up and started her search
“Excuse me , do you by any chance see a bracelet lying around?” She asked anyone she comes across and NO is the answer she kept getting
She let out her tears again and bent on her knees, crawling round the place just to look for it
“No I can’t lose it, I can’t lose it, never” she thought, searching the snowflakes with her hand as the snowflakes kept falling on her
She even caught a cold as a result of dipping her hand into the flakes but it doesn’t matter right now
“The bracelet matters” so she continued her frantic search
She suddenly saw someone standing in front of her, she continued looking at the two legs and his perfume brushed past her nose
Her eyes w¡dened, though he’s not the only one using citrus in the wh0le world but maybe because she’s expectant
“Are you…. looking for this?” His voice asked
No of all millions of voices in the wh0le world, his voice is distinct
Her ears itched and her eyes w¡dened as she slowly started looking up in her kneeling position
The lights almost blinded her at first but she blinked severally and his face eventually became clear
Slowly like a dream, her dream came true
It’s none other than him… Grumpy Bear who has a shocked look on his handsome face too
He hasn’t changed at all, he’s holding the bracelet she was looking for, and his own is still on his wrist
She kept kneeling there in shock, surprise, happiness and… just mention all sort of emotions
The snowflakes started falling in large quantities as if to remind them of something, and the breeze started blowing heavily
“RETARDED” Dwayne muttered
