Chapter 47

FREDRICK

 

Weeks were passing like days and I am recovering fast.

 

“Congratulations. He is way too much better now. He recovered unblievingly fastly. I have never see any patient with this much steady recovery.” The doctor grinned after checking me up.

 

Michael and Leo yelled in excitement while Eva kissed my forehead.

 

Just then my eyes landed on the frame hiding behind door.

 

IVY.

 

Many coloured came and passed by my eyes and I kept starring at her who was crying in her trance with her hands held in air.

 

“All thanks to the one who encouraged him for physiotherapy. Because without that he won’t be able to even sit up on his own and see now he can walk.” The doctor said and I felt something strange in my chest thinking about the one who started all this and what I did to her.

 

I felt guilty but I won’t let guilt empower on my senses.

 

After the check up, the doctor went out along with everyone.

 

I saw her walking away from my room.

 

Without thinking, I called her.

 

“ivy”

 

She froze on her steps hearing my voice.

 

“Yes..!” She stammered not turning around.

 

“Come here” I said sternly but she didn’t turn.

 

“I said turn around!!” I said in an authoritative tone.

 

She turned around and went near me.

 

“Yes?”

 

“Why are you crying?”

 

“I..um..no I am not crying.” She said lowering her head.

 

“Sit” I patted at a spot on the bed beside me.

 

She hesitated first but sat beside me.

 

I could feel the heat radiating from her body.

 

“So you weren’t crying?” I raised a brow and she shoke her head.

 

” Then what is it?” I said picking a tear drip from her eye lash.

 

She was taken aback and looked at his finger tip.

 

” Why were you crying? Am I dead?” I said sternly.

 

Somehow I don’t like those tears.

 

She looked at him shocked and two more tears slipped down her cheeks.

 

“Don’t talk like this.” She said in a mere whisper.

 

He looked at her in amusement.

 

“Then what are these tears for?”

 

“These tears are of gratitude. I am happy that you will be back to life.” She smiled with tears.

 

I didn’t expect such answer from her.

 

This left me shocked to core.

 

My heart skipped a beat without informing me.

 

“Aren’t you afraid that I will abuse you again once I will get back to my feet?” I asked unsecurely.

 

She flinched when memories of that night flashed in front of her.

 

“Say it” I took her hand and gave it a light squeeze and said softly.

 

For the first time I uttered a word to her softly.

 

“No! In fact I am waiting desperately when all my prayers will be answered and you will become the old jerk Frederick” She smiled wholeheartedly at me twitching her nose upward.

 

I narrowed my eyes on her.

 

“So I am a jerk?”

 

She laughed and nodded.

 

“Getting bold aren’t we?” I smirked jerking her towards me.

 

“No,no” She said and ran out of the room freeing her hand.

 

I smiled and shoke my head looking at her back.

 

I felt a sudden peace empowering me…

 

“This is how married couple feel.”

 

I opened my eyes when I heard Leo’s voice.

 

I looked at him, he was smiling standing in front of me.

 

I averted my gaze because no matter what I won’t see ivy as my wife.

 

” You know Frederick, It has been almost a month of me being here and I never saw her doing anything which can offend you. Believe me she is changing and she is changing for good. And you know what who gave her the direction and showed her the path?” Leo said sitting beside me.

 

” Who?”

 

“You” he pointed at me while I looked at him blankly.

 

“If she is trying to take a step ahead  then why are you stepping back?”

 

“I don’t know. I have never gave her any hope about loving her.”

 

“Alright you can’t love her but least all you should do is care for her and I can bet she will be more happy. You know Frederick women are so strong yet so delicate. She can face all the difficulties of the world without letting a sigh but a mere indifference of her feelings can break that strong woman to the extent where she can’t repair back to her previous self. Love can’t stand a chance against indifference. You know what,Love can’t endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Love is all give and have. I know some people love other one so deeply and madly but in end they get deceived.  That doesn’t prove this fact wrong. If you were sincere with your love then it will be reciprocated to you back but by someone else who truly values you. So don’t leave her among the ones who get nothing in the end because there is karma. She will have another one who will cherish her.” Leo said and I felt my soul crushing at the mere thought of her being in someone else arms.

 

” You know what to do next” Leo patted my shoulder smilingly and went out.

One month flew by wink and the day came when I was running in the garden.

 

Ivy was happy to no extent.

 

Eva,leo, Lucas and edith went back to their home.

 

House was looking quite without them.

 

Ivy is making breakfast for everyone.

 

It was still dark outside.

 

I just came back from jogging and decided to check on her in the kitchen.

 

She was singing while mixing flour.

 

Her hair were tied in a messy bun.

 

Some locks managed to get out of her clips grip and were hanging on her face.

 

I stood behind enjoying the view in front of me.

 

Her song’s lyrics caught his attention.

 

I feel as if she was saying all those things to me.

 

As if she she was confessing everything she had in her heart.

 

My attention drifted by her sudden sigh.

 

“Can’t you stay away!!” She said to her hair lock pinning it at the back of her ear but didn’t succeed.

 

I went near her and slowly took my hand near her face and put the strands away and blew at her face to dry up her sweat.

 

She froze and looked up to me.

 

“Do you need anything?” She asked.

 

” Why? Can’t I come to you without any work?”

 

“No..it is..not like thst” she stammered feeling my scrutinizing gaze.

 

I was enjoying this state of hers.

 

“Anyways I wanted to say make my breakfast fast. I have to go somewhere.” I said and step away from her.

 

She released a breath which she was holding for a while.

 

I smirked when I saw her relaxing and patted her shoulder startling her.

 

She turned around and unkowningly her hands covered in flour made contact with my chest.

 

She gasped in horror looking at my tightened jaw.

 

“I am sorry. So…sorry.. Please…” She said nervously.

 

I held her chin tightly and leaned on her face.

 

She closed her eyes getting afraid.

 

A moment of bliss came in my life when my lips landed on her forehead and lingered over there for a while.

 

“Good morning” I said and went out of kitchen.

 

She touched her forehead and jumped in excitement.

 

“Yes!”

 

Hearing upon her cheers my lips curled into smile.
