Lonely Bride

But well, I am happy for them. But he cannot get away with this easily. Can he?? Nope.

“What were you doing with Sam?” I shot another one.

“Me. I mean, we? We were just talking normally, you know?” Poor Soul, he does not know what to say. I wanted to laugh, but I giggled inaudibly, biting my lips. My body vibrates a little.

I felt Sean wrap both hands around me, holding me protectively.

Oh, how I want to be like this forever in his arms.

My one hand, which was on his shoulder, went behind him, hugging him back with closed eyes.

Here, talk to Sam. Nathan gave the phone to Sam, and I could not control my laughter this time.

“Hey… Hi, I mean, Sam took the phone, and I know even she has no idea what to talk about. My poor friends But what to hide in this? I thought.

“Hello to you too, my bestie,” I tease a little.

“Why did you call? Is everything all right? Did Sean do anything?” I shake my head at hearing about my protective friend.

“I am fine. So, everything is sorted between you and Nathan?” I asked to change the subject again.

“Yeah, we are good now,” she said.

“So, how did you convince each other? And by the way, why were you not talking to each other in the first place?” I do not even know why they were fighting.

Ahmm, I will tell you once I am back,” she said again. I know she is shy right now. My poor friend

“I hope you both have convinced each other for good.” I again asked, biting my inner cheek. “By the way, what did he do to convince a stubborn soul like you?”

“What stubborn? Me? Let me tell you, it is me, not him. I was the one who convinced him, and you have no idea how much time it took.” I pushed some of Sam’s weak points, and it worked.

“Oh, please, Sam, I know you will not do such. He must have been the one who convinced you.” I pushed again.

“Sarah, do you know how much energy I put into convincing him? But how can you understand?” She is now fully frustrated.

“Well, I do not know that, but I believe you must have burned a lot of calories while convincing him. I could hear you. I stretched yours, and I could imagine her red blush.

“Sarah, I never knew you were so evil. Now if you do not have anything, then bye.” She spoke a little annoyingly, getting caught red-handed.

“Well, that I am, and I will be waiting to get the details once you come back. So bye for now.” I giggle, saying this, and hang up the phone.

Now both hands are on his neck, and I am still hugging him. I rested my chin on his shoulder, closing my eyes, and he kept me still, holding me protectively.

“Sarah.” Sean spoke, disturbing my peace.

Hmm,” I hummed in reply.

“I know I have made many mistakes in the past, and I was very unfair to you, but trust me, I had my reason. But now things are different. Can you give this relationship a chance, please?”

Hearing this, my mood suddenly got bitter. All previous events came to mind. How he treated me and how I was all alone. I have struggled in my life just to reach where I am right now.

Detaching myself, I looked into his eyes and spoke. “I am sure you had your reasons. I even know this marriage was forced on you, but you could have handled things better, Sean. If you think that just because we kissed today, I will forget everything, then you are wrong. My response was just a normal human act.

Anyone would behave the same as I did just now.”

I looked into his expression. I could see regret and hurt in his eyes. But well, I cannot ignore the things I have gone through.

“I am very happy now, Sean, and trust me, if I want anything in my life right now, it is peace. So do not try to come into my life. I am happy, so leave me alone. You enjoy your life, and let me do the same.” If he thinks that after this many years, he can come back into my life, then he is highly mistaken.

“Sarah, I know I am being very unfair, but please give me a chance. Give us a chance.” He was literally pleading this time.

“There is no us,” I said, pointing my finger at him and me.

“And second, tell me what reasons you are talking about. Why did you behave so aloof?”” Now I am getting pissed.

“I will when the right time comes, but for now, please, Sarah, please give us a chance.” He muttered and joined our heads.

“Sean, it is not possible. Please try to understand.” His actions always melt me somehow.

“I promise you will not regret,” he says, saying his lips touch my cheeks and rubbing his nose with mine.

Before I say something I regret later, I say, “I want to stay the way I was. I am the same person I want to be in the future. So, leave.” I said it sternly.

Detaching himself from me, he looked into my eyes. “Never, I will never leave you. You are mine, and I am not generous enough to let go of what is mine. If you like it, good; if not, then deal with it, darling, because you do not have any other option.” He packs on my lips, making my heart greedy for more.

But his declaration somehow caught me off guard. The promise of not leaving in his eyes frightened me. But she stayed mum.

“How much I love to hold you in my arms, but I cannot ignore the fact that it’s time for dinner and you need to take your medicine as well. So come on.” He said he made me stand on my feet, and I blushed hard, looking at our position.

I started walking before he caught me blushing.
