Chapter 42: chap42
After 6 weeks
Alex
I was driving Emma for school
Emma was not so chatty that she use to be...may be it's because Aria is not there...fuck...sometime I think I made a biggest mistake of my life for letting Kate n Aria go...but if Aria is right?... no its not possible... i know its Aria who did this ...I know Emma talks to Kate daily on Skype&meet her in after school.....Emma need her mother physically to be there not virtually....I parked at Emma school n said 'come on princess your school is here'
Emma said ' Daddy can you bring mama n Aria home after school'
She asked this question always when I dropped her
I replied 'Emma I have told you already they're going to back but not now...things are little bit difficult ...'
I don't know why I lie to her...but I can't see her like this..
After dropping off school I turned two blocks a head n wait...for Kate n Aria ...I usually wait for them to see how are they...sometimes I fucking miss kate so much that all I wanted to do go n dragged her into the car n take her home....n sometimes I also want to see Aria... I miss her too... it surprise me too..,after all this drama I still want Aria be happy... although I have hurt her little heart a lot...but most painful moments were when I broke her doll into two pieces...yelled at her..n when she said goodbye n said to forgive her...kate was right I become heartless...but what she did was also wrong...she left me...then I saw them.... I saw kate was picking Aria from the bus n put her down... it still fucking hurt n make me angry that why the hell she leave her car...obviously it will came handy to her.... but she using third class bus to travel...Aria was saying something but kate was lost in her thoughts...what she is thinking...she looks so tired...n she always look tired like that...Aria looks she lost some weight.... fuck.... did they need money... I didn't provide any allowance to kate...nor she asked...then I saw Aria stop n bend to look her shoe...I closely focused her shoes were little wore down n tear down...it was a gut wrenching moment for me here I have every luxury that life offers but my child is walking with a broken shoe...Kate kneel down n said something ..Aria nodded n then they were gone.
In the office I get myself busy with work because this will keep me going...but I was still distracted... how kate n Aria are really doing... then I saw shawn coming in my office... After kate has gone...Shawn n I have some heated argument where he told me what a ass im n how much I will regret it...but im really a egoism bastard...I also fight with him...now seeing him realized me that I kinda of needed a friend.
He said ' here is the document that you needed...its already checked n a contract has been made'
I replied Thanks dude... will you stop n have a coffee with me'
He reluctantly said 'you want to?
I sighs n said ' shawn im fucking sorry how I behave last time but you know im an asshole...but I really need a friend'
He said 'funny thats what kate said to me...sure dude a strong coffee I can have.
I called to bring coffee then I realized
I said 'wait you said kate ....what she said..tell me how she is n Aria'?
He replied 'n why the hell are you interested in that...you don't want them remember'
I replied' she left me ...I didn't said anything about leaving'
He said 'Well you clearly want Aria to be leaving from your house...a person can only tolerate something that he can bear...but what you were suggesting to do with Aria was down cruel n heartless...you made Kate to take that step...'
Shawn continues n said ' look you still have time to sort this out kate still worry about you..she said me to not leave you....so plz believe kate n Aria that Aria didn't push Emma.'
I said ' Shawn just leave it...we already talk on this'
It was almost 4 o clock when I left the restaurant n see off the contractors with whom im had a meeting...my car was parked across the road...but then I saw kate n Aria ...they were looking outside the shops...what they are doing? I don't know what makes my foot follow them...I was keeping some distance but not much that enables me to listen clearly.
Aria said ' but mama ..I want those shoe..not this one we have brought'
Kate replied' Aria these are also very good...n secondly they were very expensive...mama don't have alot of money right now to spend on a shoe...you're very good girl try to understand that'
Aria said ok mama...im sorry I forget we are saving money for other things'
Kate said 'yup baby...but I promise I will buy you anything in Christmas'
Aria becomes happy in that ...but I didn't...they shouldn't save money...because I have alot of them...whatever Aria want I will give her...but didn't I also cruelly take that too...dont I remember what I did with her doll ...
They were looking outside of shops...then Aria stop at one toy shop n pointed out n said ' mama...mama look... can I have this doll in Christmas...please...I will also save money?'
Kate looked n even I looked...the doll was different yet very familiar ..then I realized it was the doll I give to Aria but her dress n size were different...that doll really meant something to Aria...n I destroyed it..
Kate looked n said 'ok.. I will buy it for you..now come on you have to do your homework n I want to finish a little work in office then we are free to go'
Office....what office..I saw kate going straight to Holden printing press....then it clicked it was Rachel father company..she works here..but shawn never told me..then my phone rings it was Helen...fuck...what she wants.
Kate
'Come on Aria its bed time n leave the laptop n go brush your teeth'
'But mama let me finished this cartoons...n why don't we have tv...its so big in there...'
I replied' cause we don't need it when we can watch in laptop....n its also one of the saving part..no go to washroom n come to sleep'
She run with her little feet...I
unfolded the sofa cum bed then put
sheets in it n waited for Aria... After I
started my jobs in Holden printing press two weeks ago...I feel confident enough that I can do this...the salary is less n im overqualified for the job but when saw the ad I jumped on it...I need a push up start...late I realized it was Rachel father company...when Rachel saw me there...she try to convince me that she can hired me some better post but I stopped her taking some one post who is more needy n deserving doesn't set well with me to take that post...she reluctantly agreed. I felt skyp ringtone ...n saw it was Emma...my eyes tear up when I see her in school and right now...I called Aria n
tell its Emma ... she runs n come n
sit with me..I connect with Emma ..n
I saw martha face first
She said hello kate n Aria how are you...'
I said 'im good how are you Martha'
She replied ' im good kate..n I missed you a lot.. (I heard emma voice in background) ok ok miss emma here you go'
Emma face came n my eyes become teary ' mama..how are you..n when you are coming back..."
Emma always asked this
I replied' baby...I miss you so much..I will come but little bit time will take ...here talk to Aria'
Then both sister were lost in their own conversation..after it was time to say goodbye which was more difficult for me...
Aria n me laid together in sofa cum bed n Aria said ' mama I like this bed...cause we both share it together...so may be its not bad'
Aria knows how to break the tense moment n I smiled at her' yeah I think so'
Alex
Helen was sitting in my office across me
I said 'what...what the fuck is this Helen ...you know because of this how my life has turned?'
She remorseful said 'I m sorry Alex...I know...n thats why im here to fix this...when max n her nanny told me it was max who pushed emma ..I called you n come to tell you the truth'
I yelled ' how fuck you can fixed this...you know I made a terrible mistake...you know I was sending Aria to the boarding school...n because of that kate had taken Aria n left me...then how you are going to fix this...n tell me why your nanny lied at that time'
Helen said ' She became scared that
she is going to lost her job if she
take Max name but after few weeks she came n told me
everything...when I asked Max he ..he told me.. that he didn't want to push emma..it was Aria he wanted tépush but some how Emma fell down.'
I stop breathing ....Aria....he wanted to push Aria. fuck the feeling of protectivness was back for Aria...fuck what I did... Aria was telling the truth...n I clearly ignored her. again...kate was begging me to hear her once but im so proud to get diwn a little bit
I said ' Helen its better you should go..I have lot if things going on..I need to do something else first'
She nodded n get out of my office'
N then I called Shawn. 00000
