Chapter 16 - Your Last Gift Of Love
Adrian's face was disappointed with the answer but looked at her with pleading eyes.
She smiled at him and showed the narrow white cardboard which was written as
" I want to be your love. Will you accept me?"
He opened his arms and signaled her to come to him. She quickly ran down the stairs and jumped into his arms. Still being in his arms, she kissed his forehead then joined her forehead with his.
" I love you…Kathie. " He shouted and twirled two times in the rain.
" I love you too…Adrian" She said with a bright smile.
They both drenched in the rain but didn't care as they both were immersed in expressing their feelings. He dropped her on the ground and cupped her face.
" Let's celebrate our Love" Saying he claimed her soft lips with his lips pulling her closer to him. She closed her eyes, enjoying his warm touch against her body.
When she was panting for air, he released her.
" You are my first love and this is my first kiss. Till my last breath, you will be in my heart " she said looking into his ocean blue eyes.

" Yes, babe. I will be your first and your last love…" saying he hugged her possessively.

…..
Adrian opened his eyes and sat on the bed. His heart was crying to accept her betrayal. Thinking about her, he had tears in his eyes.
" Crying is not my hobby, but it's the last gift of your love, Kathie…" he thought in his mind.
" You are a liar, Katherine. You played with my feelings in the name of love, just to enjoy your time. I will never forget your betrayal and will never forgive you in my life" thinking Ardian fisted his palms.
" If I meet you again in my life then I don't leave a chance to make your life hell…" he said looking at the ring of his chain around his neck.
…..
…..
The same night at Katherine's home….
" Kathie…. Run…Don't think about me. " She heard the same voice.
Instantly, she opened her eyes and looked around the room. Her forehead was covered with sweat. She wiped it with the back of the palms and sat on the bed. She took the water from the night table and drank it. She stood up from the bed and walked towards the window.
" How many days, I have to live like this? " she thought in her mind.
" Kathie...Are you okay?" Ruby asked, placing her hand on Katherine's shoulder.
Katherine turned back and looked at her with a small smile.
" Again, scary dreams?" She asked Kathie with concern.
She nodded her head lightly and again turned towards the window. She looked blankly thinking about her life. After seeing Ardian with Emily at the restaurant, it was very difficult for her to behave normally. Her heart screaming to get her love, Ardian and her mind were warning her to stay away from Ardian for both good.
" Kathie...Are you okay?" Ruby asked her.
" Yeah. I am fine. " She replied.
" But you are looking so upset when we were back from the restaurant. And even you didn't have your dinner " She asked Kathie.
" Nothing...Ruby. Go and sleep." Kathie assured her and laid on the bed beside the little Sam.
" I know about you. You will never share your pain with anyone and don't want to make others disturbed because of you. " Ruby said while laying on the other side of the bed.
" Nothing like that. Just a bad dream..." Katherine said, plastering a fake smile.
" What was the dream about?" She asked Kathie.
" Sleep now or else Sam will wake up because of us. " Kathie said to divert the topic.
" You will never share your problems with me because I am not your real sibling…" Ruby said with a sad face.
"Shut up...you stupid. I love you more than that. Don't repeat it again. " Kathie warned her seriously.
" Sorry…" she replied with tears in her eyes.
" I know whatever I am now it's because of you. You protected me like a father and loved me like a mother" she added.
" Ruby….you are my responsibility. I promised Aunt Lisa about you. " Kathie said, placing her hand on the top of her head.
" You are so good. I hope all your sorrows end soon." Ruby wished.
She looked at Little Sam and said, " I can go through any pain just for my son. He is the gift of my love. He is my strength and my hope."
" Can I ask you one question?" Ruby asked her.
Kathie looked at her, then she continued
" Why don't you go to Sam's father and tell him that you still love him? " Ruby questioned.
" He moved on with his life and will be getting married soon…" she answered.
" What?" She exclaimed.
" But still you are quiet…" she asked her.
" You should go and tell him about Sam and stop the marriage. Sam needs a father" she advised.
" It's too late for everything. Let's sleep." She informed her and turned off the table lamp.
" At least tell his name..." Ruby asked.
" Sleep.... Don't bring this topic again" she answered.
She laid on her side and closed her eyes. As soon as she shut her eyes, she remembered how Emily was holding Ardian's hands and was walking out of the restaurant.
Tears brimmed out from the corner of her eyes. She wiped it with her fingers as she knew clearly that there is no use crying over the spilled milk. She cannot change the past …...
