That Midnight Call-Part 3

‘I’m not crying as you are here’! Finding herself unable to hide tears, Emily sobbed!.

‘I was always there!’ What’s wrong with you? Erick tried to find out. ‘I bring coffee for you’ Emily made an excuse and left.

Erick, having a confused expression moved towards his bedroom and changed clothes. Emily washed her face and tried to smile before appearing in front of Erick again.

Before Erick asked more, the doorbell grabbed their attention. It was a courier for Emily. She received and kept it aside. After sometime, Erick got engaged with few important calls and the atmosphere got back to normal once again.

Emily didn’t go to see Avi. One week passed and she got busy with routine. Keeping pace with time, Emily turned into a mother of two kids, Jenny and James.

Time started flying. Grey hair added grace to Emily’s personality. The age never diminished charisma that Emily had. Edrick also aged gracefully and was busy in growing his business all these years.

Enjoying the bliss of motherhood, she managed responsibilities of professional life for 20 years.

It was her retirement day. Her colleagues came to see her and organized a warm farewell for her. At night, Edrick asked Emily whether they should go to kids who were settled in U.S.A for their career goals. Emily wanted to be with kids but she did not wish to move to a new country altogether.
