◇AUTHOR POV◇
” Bye Daddy” his little boy waved at him and he waved at him back before putting his hands into his pocket. He just found the perfect school for his son and he couldn’t be more excited.
He was still inside the school, and seeing kids rush to their classes reminded him of the old days, he smiled at their beautiful uniforms.
“Wow” he mouth before turning to leave but suddenly he felt a hand on his trousers.
” Sir you look so handsome” Her little voice murmured. His gaze turned to the little girl who was standing in front of him. WT…. His eyes widen. This was impossible, was he blind or what? He bent to the height of the little girl but it seemed his eyes were failing.
” Iris?” He whispered looking at the little girl who smiled.
” Yh, I’m Iris” He almost felt like his eyeballs were about to leave his eye socket. He felt his hands stopped for a second.
” You’re Iris?” He asked still looking at her and she quickly nodded.
Iris looked at the handsome man in front of her, wow he looked so good, she thought. And he knew her name! But how? She frowned when she saw that he was blinking away tears. Why was he crying?
” My mama said people only cry when you’re sad, are you sad?” She asked almost looking sad herself.
He quickly cleaned his tears, he didn’t even notice that he was crying.
He knows what he was thinking wasn’t possible, there was no way, this child looks 6 or 7 so there was no way.
” It’s just that you look a lot like my sister” Iris smiled wide when he said that.
” So can I meet her?” She asked. He smiled at her adorable face, he looked at the cute little girl in his front. How could she look so much like his sister and have the same name? That’s karma.
” She is in heaven” he said pointing to the sky. Iris gasped in surprise.
” Heaven?” She asked and he nodded.
” How old are you iris?” He asks. She blushed when he asked for her age. Will he marry her after she tells him?
” Six” she blushed when she saw the smile that crept on his face.
” So you….”.
” What are you doing with my sister” Jarden looked surprised by the boy who stood in front of Iris. Her brother?
” What are you doing with him?” Jon asked staring at Iris who bent her head. He glared at Jarden before holding Iris’s hand.
” He is my friend Jon” Jarden smiled when the little girl addressed him as his friend.
” He is a stranger dummy, mom won’t be happy when she hears this”. Jarden stares at them speechlessly. The little boy acted like him when he was younger. He could do anything just to protect his sister.
” let’s go” the grumpy boy yelled at his sister, Jarden couldn’t help but smile.
Iris waved at him before disappearing into the crowd. God knows he was going to look for her every day.
JARDEN POV
I couldn’t sleep, and ever since that day, I always had to take sleeping pills to be able to sleep every day. That name kept ringing in my head, how was she? Was she okay? Or was she married? Did she even remember me again? I know she will h@ťě me so much, and I even h@ťě myself more.
Seven years ago I left the love of my life, my friends and my brother. It was hard for me, not financially though but emotionally and physically. The first month after leaving Kiara, I cried myself to sleep like a baby. I felt weak, I felt like I couldn’t survive it. I deprive myself of sleep and food. I was depressed.
I wasn’t thinking about how was feeling, I was thinking about how she would feel when she woke up that morning, will she go to the kitchen to look for me as she usually does or would she get angry at me for leaving Early that morning? $h|t, I was a mess. A real mess. A Ďïčkhead for not fighting, I knew it was hard but I could have at least tried but instead, I ran like a coward.
I have tried to look for her on social media but her Instagram account has been the same since the last time I checked. I figured out that maybe she had another account or she completely left Instagram.
I hope she was okay and my stupid dad didn’t do anything stupid. I had checked Jake’s social media and my other friends, and I found out Harald was getting married to Sharon that was surprising though because Harald wasn’t the type to jump into marriage.
I know my friends would probably h@ťě me now, especially Jerry and Harald. I knew even when Jake was trying to keep a blind eye, he knew my father was responsible for wh@ťěver happened. Why am I even referring to him as my father? Mr Thompson.
” Mr grey, the files” my assistant smiled at me before handing the files over to me. I ignored her smile before taking the files from her.
” What are the reports?” I asked emotionlessly.
” Uhm- the Rale company has an appointment with you by 12 and they begged that you shouldn’t reschedule it again” she stuttered looking at me.
” Are those the reports?” Her eyes widen before she nods negatively.
” No sir”.
” What are the reports, Lara?” I asked again.
” Our database isn’t corresponding with last month’s own, the files there are uhm talking about the database for the year and…uhm..” I raised my hand signaling her to keep quiet while looking at the file.
” So the profit for this month is lower, why?”.
” Because you don’t” she paused then put on a guilty face.” Don’t attend meeting most of the time so we lose our clients” she completed.
” My assistant is there what is the need for me to come” I rolled my eyes.
” They want the boss, sir” she murmured.
” Okay, you can go”. She smiled before walking towards the door.
” Oh Lara, set the appointment by 11 pm, I have somewhere to be by 2″ she nodded.
” Lora, sir” she corrected before walking out quickly. I couldn’t help but smile, the memories of Kiara came rushing into my head, I remembered when she always corrected me, I do it purposely just to piss her off. $h|t, I miss her so much.
After the appointment, I left quickly for that school, I never ever used to pick up my son but today I decided to pick him up, why? Because of Iris. That little girl stole my heart the moment I met her.
I waited at the entrance of the school patiently waiting for the student to rush out. I felt so nervous to see her again. How can she look so much like my sister and even have the same name? Something was definitely wrong but I didn’t know what. The students rushed out of the building, some of them with their parents and some of them with their nannies.
” Hey creepy man” I frowned then turned around to see that boy from in the morning. My frown quickly turns to a smile.
” Leave my sister Alone, she is just six and not ready to get married yet” he grumpily said and I couldn’t help but stare at him in surprise.
” Getting married?” I asked cluelessly and he rolled his eyes.
” She said she is getting married to you because you’re handsome, d@mn you look like a kangaroo” I gasps again in surprise when he said that. Okay, it was obvious that Iris was his twin sister. But their personalities were so different.
” You think you are more handsome than me?” I asked teasing him.
” You’re an old man, see I’m not here for comparison I am more handsome just stay away from my sister or you will have to answer me or my grandpa” the little boy points his index finger at me. Woah this boy is rude.
” Especially my grandpa, he treats her like an egg so… Stay the f…” He stopped. ” No curse words” he slowly whispered to himself before looking at me again.
” My mom is gonna be pissed when she hears this so… Just be a good guy and leave her alone, okay?” The little boy forced a smile before walking away.
Okay, that was…..I swallowed hard, wait did that child just thr_@ten me? Wow!
