My Celebrity Crush

Andrea was devastated.

What could be more shocking than this?

she busted into tears and sat on the floor, crying out her eyes. The lady quickly dressed up and ran out of the house. Her name was Becky and she was Robin’s mistress.

Robin felt remorse, of course, and he couldn’t bring himself to say anything to Andrea as she sat crying on the floor.

He went to her and tried holding her, but she slapped him.

Wow! I love that slap.

I wish she could give him more of it.

He stared at her for some time and stood up.

“I’m sorry, Andrea” he said.

“This whole thing was a mistake. We were never meant for each other.”

He paused and breathed out heavily.

“I want a divorce” he said and Andrea’s eyes glinted.

Oh, God! How can he do such a thing to her?

She looked at him in disbelieve and told him to get out, tears rolling down her cheeks.

He stared at her for sometime and stood up and left. He made use of the guest room that night.

She kept crying through the night and couldn’t fall asleep.

Yes, she stayed awake all through.

The next morning, surprisingly to Robin, he woke up and discovered she had prepared breakfast – something she rarely did because of her work.

And why was she still at home?

She greeted him genially like nothing happened between them the previous night.

He was startled.

She told him to join her for breakfast, but he refused, feeling suspicious.

Then, she ate from the plate he was supposed to eat from and he became relaxed a bit and decided to join her. He didn’t even bother to ask why she was still at home, instead of going to work.

After eating in silence, he brought up the divorce issue again and the way she responded to it shocked him.

She smiled and told him she was ready to do it; but just on one condition; she needed a favor from him.

He was curious to know what she wanted and finally, she spilled it out.

She told him she wanted them to stay as happy couples for just three weeks and after that, they could go on with the divorce.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Robin was stunned and found the idea absurd.

Why the hell does she want them to stay together for three weeks before going on with the divorce?

He told her he didn’t like the idea and she went on to plead with him and consider it her last wish to it. He made it clear to her he wouldn’t develop any feelings for her if that was what she wanted. And she told him she didn’t have a problem with that just as long as he stayed with her for those three weeks.

Then, he agreed.

He went back to his mistress and told her not to worry; that everything would be over in three weeks and they could finally be together.

Becky was overwhelmed and couldn’t wait for those three weeks to pass by.

Days passed and Robin noticed something different in his wife – although he couldn’t really spot it out.

She always prepared breakfast before leaving for work and always came back early enough to make dinner for him. She suddenly had more time for him than she used to and it was really surprising.

He enjoyed her meals and her warmth close to him on the bed. He found himself making love to her more often.

Well, that was the deal, right? Stay as happy couples for three weeks.

Days turned into weeks and a lot of things happened Robin found himself feeling something he’s never felt for his wife before.

It’s as if some beauty in her was hidden and he was just discovering them.

On one cool evening, he was driving along the bank where she worked and decided to drop by to know if she was through so they could go home together.

Surprisingly, when he got there, he was told she had stopped working there some weeks ago. She quit the job.

Robin found It hard to believe as he puzzled over it.

He quickly drove home and when she returned, he asked her about it and was shocked by her reply.

With tears, she told him she had quit her job so she could have more time for him. And all those time she left, claiming she was going to work, she had been going to her mother’s place.

Robin couldn’t believe what he heard.

So, she quit her job because of him? To make him happy?

Why?

Time flew like the wind and Robin found himself spending more time with Andrea than he did with Becky.

And finally, their three weeks deal was completed and it was time for the divorce.

Robin got a call that morning to the office and when he met with the manager, he received the best news of the year that he had been transferred to Paris to manage one of the companies there.

He gave a shout of joy and couldn’t wait to tell his wife about it.

Of course, she was his wife. There was no way he was letting go of her.

He had been confused about it before; but finally, he’s gotten to know he was in love with her.

Yes! He loved her and would spend the rest of his life with her – in Paris.

He drove home excitedly and on a high speed. But on reaching home, his bubbles were busted.

He found her lying unconsciously on the bed. He called and tapped her, but there was no response. And he didn’t hesitate to rush her to the hospital.

Oh, God! She had cancer!

Robin cried his eyes out as the doctor told him about it in the office. She only had three weeks to live – which had already been spent with him – and now, she was a living corpse.

The doctor made it clear she only had minutes to live.

And another shocking news he received was this- she was pregnant.

Oh, God! No!

She was going to die with the baby!

I felt my cheeks becoming hot as tears formed up in my eyes, but I tried not to let it out.

I just hope this doesn’t happen. She can’t die.

Robin sat in front of her on the hospital bed, holding on to her hand, crying profusely. But she was too weak to weep.

“Why didn’t you tell me about it?” He whimpered.

“That was the day you told me you wanted a divorce” she replied and his acrimony increased.

How could he have been so stupid?

Why did he ever act the way he did in the past?

All those time she tried being the perfect wife for him, he had no idea she was dying and was just trying to use the last moments of her life to make him happy.

Why did such misfortune have to be fall him?

“Please, forgive me, Andrea. Stay for me. I love you” he cried in her palms and she smiled ruefully.

“I’ve always loved you, Robin; despite the fact we were forced to get married. And it has always been my wish you get to love me. At least, knowing you loved me before I died, is a sweet memory I can take home.

“I guess you’re right. We were probably never meant to be. But I’m glad I have a place in your heart” she said tearfully and Robin buried his face in her palm and soaked it with tears.

He couldn’t afford to lose her.

Where would he get someone like her again? She was too special; too unique.

Oh! If only he knew, he’d had cherished all the times he had with her.

He’d had made all their moments fun.

But why can’t he have a second chance?

Her hands went cold and stiff. He didn’t hear anything from her again.

The anaesthetic machine had gotten to a flat line.

He lifted his eyes from her palms where he wept and looked at her. His eyes widened with shock.

He ran out of the room immediately, yelling on the doctors and nurses.

They ran in and set to work immediately while he watched blearily from the window.

But, it was obvious. He didn’t need the doctor to tell him even after he saw him shook his head.

His breathing had become tensed. More tears flowed down his cheeks as he watched them cover her up with a white cloth.

That was the moment he knew he had lost a precious gem – one that could never be replaced.
