Chapter 49: COMING WITH YOU
Dove read the letter with her pupils shaking. And her heart drumming in her chest. It was not even a handwritten letter but a printed one.
After reading the letter, Dove slowly lowered the letter, a lots of questions going on in her mind. Who sent this letter? The person who sent the letter told her that he was her child’s father. That means the man in the hotel that night, with her.
But then the next second, that possibility also entertained her mind, whether if this letter was just a prank by someone to get her. And at that possibility, Dove reread the letter, and her eyebrows furrowed deeply. Who ever sent her this letter, he knew that she had been to the clinic for abortion. But how? Because apart from Lisa and her, no one knew about it. And if that was even true, Dove knew that, that man was involved in something serious. No wonder, he said that it would bring them trouble.
But then again, all this may not be exactly the truth. What if someone just knew?
Dove sat there on the bed quietly for a while thinking about a lot of things. This thing, it is not something she could be discussing with someone. After after sometime, a resolute expression appeared on her face, and she slowly tore the paper into pieces , before dumping that pieces paper into the glass of water.
"I don’t know who you are, nor I know what you do. What you said is even real or not? But what I know is that, this baby is mine. And I am not going to let any thing bad happen or come to our lives." Dove did not care about anything else.
When Dove reached the airport, she looked around waiting for Lisa, as the girl had told her that she would come to see her at the airport. And calling her, Lisa told her that she would be here in five minutes.
Waiting for her, Dove remembered Senior Sterling’s face. He told her that he could not come with her to see her off, because he wasn’t feeling well. But Dove knew the truth. He was sad. Very sad, that Dove was leaving. She even spotted the moisture at the corner of his eyes, when she bid him the last good bye. Letting out a shaky sigh, Dove closed her eyes to calm her emotions.
Reopening her eyes, she smiled bitterly, and murmured, "Everything will be fine, grandpa." IN her mind, she had already made up that she would make Grandpa visit her there, even if she had to whine him like a little child. But she knew that it is not possible so soon. She would just wait for a while, as his anger lessens.
