**********on their way home, Alan was looking outside the window, the car has been quite as nobody was ready to start the conversation and when Kylie couldn't take it anymore she opened her mouth hesitantly but still spoke her worries out. "Errr… Alan what happened to you? Why were you at the hospital? Are you sick anywhere? What is all this madness please tell me because I can't take it anymore" said Kylie a her hands reached for his which were placed on his laps. Alan looked at his sister in law, then to his brother at the front before returning back to her. He wasn't going to talk but the his lips started to tremble and tears dropped like a waterfall, he didn't want to worry Kylie anymore but then he couldn't hold it in any longer either after her series questions. Then the tears turned into sobs as he buried his face in his palm, this sight….this vulnerable sight of his broke their hearts, their Alan was never like this.Kylie pulled him by his shoulders and hugged him, sobbing al
************Sunny reached the hospital, with the information from Aileen's mother she was able to know which room she was admitted to. Aileen cried in her arms after telling her what happened, Sunny too tried to talk things out in Alan's favor but all she got was an indifferent look and harsh words from her. "If you are here for Alan then please leave Sunny, i just need my best friend here" said Aileen and turned her back on her, she just needed someone who wouldn't talk about Alan and listen to her. But that seems so hard to happen so they might as well leave her alone. "Hey, hey girl I'm sorry, I won't mention him again, so please cool down" Sunny moved closer and hugged her again. She has come here with the aim of patching things up between them but then she seems to be quite determined with her decisions and she can't lose her friend too.They chatted for a whole, Sunny finally left after saying her goodbyes to her parents as well. The two walked in to bring her some fresh clothe
***********Six years later.The years have passed like a day and days like hours and hours like minutes and her son is all grown up now, a very mischievous little man. Aileen was on her way to pick him up from school, she received a call that he got into a fight again. She had never thought raising a child was hard until when she started to raise her own, that little man is very stubborn and mischievous like a certain someone from the past. Suddenly her phone rang, she picked it up and put it on speaker since she was driving "Hello, who is this?" It was an unknown number. "Hello, I'm an agent from Capital A gaming company, excuse me, am I talking to Mrs Fletchers?" Said the man over the phone, making her body tense. She applied for an interview with that company a month ago. She had already given up after waiting for a month with no reply from them, she had many reasons and the main one is because she never wanted to return to the USA again. Their silence just made her more confident
**************That day Aileen returned home with her son with pure happiness, the little boy really had fun with his mother. She took her to an amusement park after stopping by for candy and thankfully Leelan was finally back to his cheerful self. She named him Leelan because she couldn't really think of another name for his son, she also kinda wanted to remember that name forever even though it brings her pain whenever she recalls her past, the name was also tattered on her hand anyway and there are some good memories with it. She tried to forget him but then Leelan was a copy of his father, he hasn't taken anything after her not looks nor behavior, Alan has really ruined her son. "Granny! Granny! Leelan is back!" Shouted the boy in his cute little voice, took off his shoes at the doorway and ran to the living room. He dropped the bag like always and Aileen would pick it up for him, this happens when he returns and wants to hug his grandma. She shook her head picking up the bag an
Aileen's POV Amongst the three of us the only one who was excited about the trip was my son, Leelan was very happy that we were moving from South Africa and it is mainly because he wouldn't have to go back to the school that he hated so much. We finalized the transportation of my father at the airport and we finally boarded the plane to the USA. We used to have our own private jet and bodyguards but since my father's health deteriorated, they needed to be paid and if we had given them our savings to guard us then we would've gone broke. Me and my mom decided that we didn't need bodyguards anymore, so we made a decision to sell the private jet and pay the bodyguards for breaching the contract they signed to guard us for three years, luckily the money was more than enough for the four of them and we're still in touch with them because we once lived like one big family. My dad was under the watch of a nurse and a doctor, the three of us were seated just a few inches away from him in
"What Leelan? Did you say something?" Said his grandmother who could see him in the living room, she placed down the phone quickly. "Nope! The game is so annoying granny" he said pouting, "Uh, you and your games, go and sleep already" she said pointing her finger to the room. "Uh uh…no! I'm waiting for you" he protested causing his grandma to shake her head and carried on with her task in hand. Leelan made sure his grandma wasn't looking at him before picking up the phone and looked at the picture again, that man looks just like him and what made him even more convinced was the tattoo on his wrist. That tattoo was his name and even his mother has it too, so could that good looking man seriously be his father? But why wasn't he with them? Why did he leave them?. No matter how much he asks her mother about her father, she would make up some reasons for him, like 'He is not a good man so I left him or your mother is here with you, you don't need your father' and many more. But he reall
The next day Aileen washed her son and clothed him before he sent him out of the room so she could prepare herself as well, she wore a formal dress for her first day at work. Sharon had already cooked breakfast for them, little boy was drinking his milkshake. He placed down the glass upon seeing his mother approaching the dining room. He made a dramatic gasp "You look beautiful mama" Aileen pulled a chair, she kissed his both cheeks before sitting down "Thank you honey". Her boy was so good at making her smile, he is just perfect if you put aside his stubborn side. "Good morning mom" she then said, Sharon served her plate and then back hugged her daughter. Her little girl has grown up so much, she had to mature and become a woman so early and no matter what she deserved getting that job, she deserves every good thing in this world. "Morning my dear, good luck for today, I just want you to know that I'm very proud of you" she said, still hugging her. "Mommy are you crying?" Asked Lee
Two days passed by, and she had already admitted her son to the elementary school. The young man said he loved his new school. Aileen was relieved that maybe her son wouldn't be causing any problems here since he personally said he prefers it here compared to the former one in South Africa. She came early at work today, she was informed that her boss would be returning from his business trip. Today too was the day her father was going to meet up with the doctor. She really wanted to be there for her mother but then work made it impossible, her mother would be going alone. For the past three days she had met with a lot of people who were now her fellow employees, some tried to befriend her while some were looking at her as if she had taken their man from them. She hadn't even begun to use the office cafeteria yet because she wanted to observe the environment of the office first before roaming around. It was a big 40 story building and she was working on the skyscraper floor.She was g
