Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

He felt a little shocked as he could not understand why she was behaving in such away.

He left all his work and flew to her place. It was night 9 when he landed. After coming out of the airport, he booked the cabin. He asked the driver to drop him at her place. He arrived at the place within thirty minutes. As he was walking towards the house, he could see her all alone in the backyard. She was weeping uncontrollably. He quickened his pace and decided to go inside without even knocking on the door. She didn't care to know who was there.

 She was able to hide her tears as she failed to understand that she was alone.

She got up on her feet as he was standing at the door. She could see him and knew that he was the one who called her in the middle of the night.

 She went up to him and gave him a tight hug. He was completely blind to the fact that her body was shaking.

He caressed her back to calm her as he heard her cry softly. She said, "I have been so miserable. I have to get rid of this wound. I have been cursed by myself and I have to get rid of it."

She broke down again. He wiped the tears from her cheeks and then she said, "Why am I suffering like this? Why can't I find the love of my life? Why?" Her tears were dropping thus she could not speak. He took his hand away from her face and stroked her hair.

 He said that he understands her pain because he went through the same pain when his loved person left him. He told her to be strong and stay strong. She would find her love of life.

 He told her that he will be there for her, any time she wants him. She said that she would be grateful.

He looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay, Emily. Now, you take a good rest. You don't have to lose your hope in searching for your love. I already told you that I will help you as we both knew our engagement is the namesake. I only treat you as a good friend " he said.

"You are right, Adrian. I shall take a good rest. I have been a little bit worried about what to do next in life because I have no idea where to start. Till now I was searching for the love of my life and I didn't find him. I searched a lot and felt miserable. I couldn't think a single thing as my mind was going blank. I have come to realize that I am more miserable than I have ever imagined. I want to put an end to this misery. I don't want to live anymore." She said in a cracked voice.

He kissed her head and said that she will surely find her love soon. He took her out of the backyard and took her to the bedroom. She was asleep as soon as she went into her bedroom.

Adrian closed the door of her room and rested his back on the door. He started thinking, "Emily will surely find her love of life soon. She will get married and live happily with him". Slowly he drifted to sleep.

Suddenly he heard her scream. It was an agonizing scream. He rushed out of the room and found her lying on the floor. She was in a state of unconsciousness.

 She had a hard time breathing. He quickly helped her to the bed. Her eyes were closed but her lips were moving. She talked to herself. He tried to listen to what she was saying. She was talking about someone called " Lawrence ". She was talking to the person with her eyes closed. 

Adrian gently patted her cheeks to get up from her nightmare. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Adrian.

" What happened? Why were you screaming?" He asked while sitting, placing his hands around her shoulders.

" It was a terrific dream. Lawernce rejected my love as I made fun of his love when he proposed to me in my high school. He said that he loves someone. " He said while her body was trembling with fear.

"I was a fool to not understand his feelings for me. He used to follow me crazily when we were in high school. I made a big mistake by making fun of his love in front of the whole school. I didn't understand the depth of his love for me till I read his journal. " She cried, closing her face with her palms.

Adrian felt vulnerable to seeing her cry. He gave side hug and made her sleep on his shoulder holding her gently. 

" The person is very lucky to be loved by Emily. Hope he must be found soon" he thought and prayed in his mind.

After a few minutes, Emily slept in Adrian's arms. He didn't bother even though his shoulder was in pain. 

….

 ….

He opened his eyes hazily when he heard his mobile ringing. His eyes opened wide when he read the name on his display…

" MY LOST LOVE".

He didn't understand whether it was a dream or reality. He pinched his arm then he confirmed it was Katherine.

" Good morning, Mr. Wilson " she greeted in a professional tone.

" Ad...dear. Good morning" in a husky voice. He remembered how Katherine used to greet him every morning.

" Sir, I canceled today's meeting and I completed all my work. As you are not in the city, can I take a leave?" she asked him hesitantly.

He thought for a while and said, " Granted but you have to compensate for it when I return to the company" 

" Okay. Thank you" she said. She wanted to know how Emily was and what happened to her. But...

He wondered why she didn't ask him what the compensation was. While they were in a relationship, he used to compensate with kisses and hugs whenever she used to be late or make him crazy.. He was so confused by Katherine's behavior.
