Celeste sat like a statue in her living room, her mind roaming around only two things, Edwin, and the life growing inside her womb. She rubbed her belly, which was not protruding now, but will in the future. "What am I going to do?" she said to herself and to the bean sized flesh. "Let's wait for him, okay?" she once again murmured but in the next second broke into a bead of tears.

Meanwhile, Edwin was also deep in thoughts. If he continues his life in this state, then it will be a failure in front of his child and he cannot bear this. "For you, I will try. Just for you, Celeste". He was talking to his own self. He has a motivation to get better now. Otherwise he wouldn't have given it a f**k. Losing the ability to walk would not have hindered his life in any way.


His father has a well established reputation and business. Even if he wouldn't do anything he would not die out of hunger and what was left about loving someone was out of the question. He will never do that if it is not Celeste and that will be a selfish choice to just leave her. He has to take responsibility for his action.

Whatever happened was the result of mutual consent and if he will not take responsibility for the action then the history will repeat itself and the vicious cycle of nature will repeat.

With the passing time, his external injuries were getting better and he planned to go out of the country for recuperation and therapy. "I will not return until I get well." He said to his father, "Please take care of Celeste till then. If it is possible, tell her to live with you." he instructed but Edwin's father sighed loudly, "I already asked her, but she doesn't want to. You are not talking to her and I cannot force my decisions on her. I am worried about her. How will she live alone? This thought is eating me up".


Edwin was speechless, he is well aware of her nature and he knows how stubborn she is, "Still, visit her frequently. I want all of you to be healthy and take care of yourself too".

"I will take care of the things here. You should just focus on therapy and come back soon". His father tried to ease his concerns so he could just focus on the recovery.


After a few days, he left the country quietly. Edwin did not even tell Noah, where he was going. "Stop pushing everything away from yourself, Edwin". Noah said to him, after trying to make him spill the beans. "I will get to know."

"You don't understand, I know myself, I will not be able to succeed until I won't push things away. Now please stop nagging".

Noah could only glare at him, "Don't ask me anything, later". He also threatened him.

"Okay". He said while sitting up, supporting his lower lifeless body and turning on the television.

Naturally, Celeste busied herself in the usual work, brushing away all the thoughts. But at night, tears unintentionally start to follow. She can feel his presence at every corner. How he hugged her and asked her out at her home, his fragrance is still surrounding her. Now, another life is also growing inside her. A part of her, a part of his...... which keeps on reminding about his existence.

Now, she did not bother to wipe her tears. She sat on the carpeted floor and started eating a piece of sandwich. What he is doing right now.....she always wonders at every second. "I hate you". Celeste said between her cries and eating. He has really tortured her to all of his might. 'One day, when you will be in front of me I will not forgive you easily' she thought.

After some days, he left the country without knowing when he will be back. He started his therapy which is so difficult. It is hard enough for him to sit, but still he was trying his best... to see her.

The days continued to pass, her belly was protruding now. Celeste was trying her best to take care of herself. "Take a leave now. Don't worry about work". Carissa said.

"I also want to stop working. I have saved enough for the baby."

"Hey.... money is the issue here. Your health matters the most. Live with me until the baby is born".

"No. I am fine".

"Celeste stopped being so stubborn. It will be hard for you to manage alone".

"I have endured more than you imagine. This is nothing".

"Okay continue to do so.... I will tell Ed...." Carissa swallowed the rest of the words. Celeste looked at her in surprise. "So, you tell him about me?"

"I don't." Carissa was apologetic, "He talks with Noah sometimes".

Celeste smiled faintly, "In the end I am the only one who is suffering".

"No, you are wrong. He is also suffering. Working hard to get back on his feet to see you again".

"Tell him not to do anything. He has already done enough". She was being sarcastic. "I am going. Bye".

Edwin and Celeste were making them worried. Carissa and Noah were walking in the ice shell because of them. But they had to do it for the sake of their friendship.
