Chapter 32

Jae’s pov

I have to go….

I turned back to go back home but I stopped when a sweet voice called my name.

“Jae? ” I turned and behold! A fallen angel was standing in front of me.

“Go inside Maya, he’s my guest ” She said.

She’s roshni. wow!

She turned to me and smiled “Am sorry for keeping you waiting. Come in let me introduce you to my mom first ”

I nodded and walked into the well furnished apartment. My eyes caught a woman, she was wearing a blue Sari.

“Good evening ma” I greeted with a smile.

“Good evening, how are you? You are here to pick roshni right? ” The woman replied.

“Yes ” I answered politely.

“Okay, as you can see she’s dressed already. Take care of her please. ” The woman answered.

“I will do that ma ” I checked the time on my wrist watch.

“We need to go now so we can come back early ” I replied the woman.

“Oh okay, my husband would be glad to see you but he’s asleep and won’t need any disturbance ”

After the conversation……

I took roshni to the car, “When are you going to start school here? ” I asked.

“Am still looking for the best school to attend ”

“How about you come to my school so I can see you everyday ” I replied as I turned on the car engine.

“Hmm…am gonna think about it ”

………………..

The night was fun…. I took her to the beach, the amusement park, restaurants and even took her to Ara’s shopping mall to buy some clothes for her.

We took different pictures. Her smile alone melt my heart.

Henry’s pov

I held Lolita’s hand while she continued with her ice-cream.

She’s a nice girl and pretty too. Am back to my happy self, all thanks to Lolita.

My break up with Bianca still hurt but am getting over it. I won’t let that ruin my life or career.

I got to Lolita’s door, she turned to me and said “You are okay now right? ” She asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, thanks for that ”

“Okay, I gotta go now. See you tomorrow. Bye ” She waved her hand.

“Bye. Have a good rest ” I replied and hugged her, then giving her a kiss on the forehead.

“Okay ” She opened the door and entered.

Ara’s pov

Lolita entered grinning, “What’s wrong with this grinning of yours? ” I asked jokingly.

“Awwn guess what? He kissed me “She screamed.

“What? ” I and Soo bin said in unison.

Bianca was in the room too listening but was putting on a devilish face. Am sure she doesn’t know who Lolita was talking about.

“You mean the lips? Or what? ” Ara asked curiously.

Lolita answered, “On my forehead, I was expecting it on the lips but am still happy like super happy ” She squealed and danced round the room.

Bianca was looking at her like she just came from the forest.

We ate dinner and I was about sleeping when my phone rang.

📲”Hello Tae ”

📲”Are you busy right no? If not come out right now ” He answered quickly and hung up.

I sighed. Why did he ask me to come out?

I stood up and wore my flip-flops and walk to the door, I opened it and saw no-one.

I texted him “I can’t find you ”

“Come to the garden ” He texted back.

I dipped my phone back into my pocket and walk towards the garden. I got there and saw Tae though I didn’t his face well.

He noticed me, he turned and his lips stretched into a smile.

“Good evening darling ” He spoke while I walk closer to him.

“Good evening Tae ” I replied confused.

Am confused cause I don’t know why he called me here this night. He lifted the flower in his hand and gave it to me.

How romantic!

I collected the flower and muttered a “Thank you ”

“So why are we here? ” I asked eagerly.

“Hmm… Nothing much, just wanted us to stay together this time ”

Bianca’s pov

I tiptoed to the garden and heard their conversations. Don’t insult me 😏

“Ohh, or there’s something you really want to tell me cause your face says it all ” Ara answered, perceiving the smell of the flower.

“Fine! Let’s break up “He blurted out.

I smiled.

“Come again please? ” He repeated the words.

“Pardon? ” I replied and he said those words again.

I could feel tears building up in her eyes.

“Am sorry, I already met someone who I love with my whole heart. And that’s Bianca, so don’t talk or come near me again. Bye and am sorry once again ”

I smiled blushing. I won his heart at last. I ended up laughing. It was then I came back to my senses.

I was hallucinating! I looked up and saw Ara and Tae looking towards my direction.

I just display my madness right now. Gosh!

“Are you sure she’s okay? ” Ara asked Tae.

“No, I don’t think ” Tae replied.

TBC…..
