Chapter 21- His call

• A month had passed in a blink of an eye, and it’s getting hotter and hotter. The sun radiates heat throughout the city M. But the scorching heat couldn’t subside the enthusiasm and eagerness of Abigail. She was happy since morning. She was giggling and humming her favorite tune. One month later, she received a call from Charles, and he asked her to see him. She always wished to call him, but every time, when she went to dial his number, she remembered about his girlfriend and dropped the idea to call him. She missed him, but she couldn’t say it loudly to anyone. So she jotted down her feelings in her diary.
• All these days, Aidan spent time with her every evening. Abigail tried her best to keep this relationship going, but the love in her heart for Aidan was already dead. She couldn’t love him anymore, and spending time with him had become strenuous for her. She smiled at him and acted to be serene as much as she could, but only she knew how uncomfortable she was with him. Several times, she wanted to call off this relationship, but every time, she swallowed back her words after seeing his seriousness. But now that Charles took the initiative to call her and meet her, she made up her mind to reveal her feelings to him. It was getting difficult for her to suppress her feelings further. She would feel relieved only after confessing to him even if he rejected her, she thought.
• Her hope and contentment increased, even more, thinking that he had called her on her birthday. Perhaps he already knew about her birthday. But she really didn’t care if he knew about it or not. She was delighted, thinking that she had a chance to spend time with him on her birthday. It would be her best birthday ever. This thought broadened her smile.
