Tales Of Love

Aurora came back to the sitting room to meet Remy, her mother and Grey seated. She said nothing to them and walked toward the door. “where are you going?” Millie Logan asked. But Aurora only paused before going out of the door without looking back.

She took a taxi to the bureau. Julian Brabra should be here now with Anna. She wanted to go in but was restrained by the bodyguards. She decided to wait outside. Soon enough Julian Brabra came out holding Anna’s hand. They both wore sky blue Suits, and Anna was smiling happily. Aurora stood and watched them approaching their car when she called out.

“Julian Brabra!”. Julian Brabra turned to the direction of the voice and saw Aurora. He froze and for some seconds he didn’t know what next he should do or what action to put up.

To ignore her or try to explain to her. But what was he going to explain beyond what she had probably seen on the social media or how else could she have probably known they would be here at this time.

Or maybe he should ignore her completely, that would be better for the both of them. He knew she already felt heartbroken and disappointed at his behavior. Explaining anything now would only hurt her the most.

Before Julian Brabra could think of the option to take, Anna spoke “Ho…. ho…. have you come to give us your Support and blessing? We are now married and it will interest you to know that I am two months pregnant already” Anna said and chuckled. Without any hint of remorse in her voice.

Her words seemed to make Aurora puke out blood. Doesn’t she know that Julian Brabra and herself had been lovers? that she came as a third party and seductively lured Julian Brabra away from her?

And she shamelessly expressed her happiness before the woman, whose boyfriend she had stolen and made her husband.

She didn’t even for once feel remorseful that Aurora was her friend. She didn’t care about the heartbreak her friend would be going through at the time.

How can someone do this to her friend?

Aurora felt her heartbeat almost skip, Anna is pregnant already for Julian Brabra? Julian Brabra had been cheating on her all this while without her knowing it?.

“Look Aurora, we are not compatible! Let’s assume we’ve never met. We are strangers now!” Julian Brabra said. Each word from his mouth was like a time bomb, splitting Aurora’s heart into pieces.

“We swore to love each other forever. Have you forgotten so soon how romantic our relationship had been and the night of our first kiss? How you promised to love me alone for the rest of your life?

How I labored and Supported you through the university? How I stood by you and sponsored your mother’s heart surgery with the money I saved to buy a house for my family?

How I pleaded with Anna to use her father’s influence to get you a job? And now, you realize, and tell me we are not compatible?. Do you still have a heart?” Aurora asked, trying her best to restrain the tears threatening to run down her cheeks.

Julian Brabra blinked several times and turned his face away. He doesn’t want to look at Aurora. Her questions had left him tongue tied. He really loved her but when Anna’s father came with the promises of making him great and becoming an influential person in the whole of the country, he easily forgot about his promises and love to Aurora. She asked him if he still had a heart, but it seems he doesn’t have one anymore.

“You talk nonsense Aurora. All you think you have done for my husband in the past, I can repay you at the snap of my fingers you poor trash. Don’t try to ruin our happy moments together” Anna said with a voice full of reproach.

Aurora walked toward them and stared at Julian Brabra’s eyes. “You still love me right?, just say it, it was Anna who seduced you and made you turn your back at….”. Before she could finish her statement, Anna gave her a slap on her chin.

Aurora staggered backwards, her eyes dizzy, her vision blank. “How dare you want to be a third party in our marriage?”, Anna said in fierce anger, her eyes turning red.

When Aurora steadied herself, she looked at Anna, red eyed. Still she tried not to shed a tear before them. She will remember this slap and one day she will get revenge. She promised herself.

“Common darling, why are you getting worked-up, is not good for the baby. Let’s go, why waste words with some poor wretch” Julian Brabra said and held Anna, and both of them entered the car and drove off.

Aurora stood and watched the man she loved drove off with another woman as her husband. All the tears she had tried to force back earlier now poured. She couldn’t control her tears, and allowed them to pour down. She started walking along the street. He was right, she’s a poor wretch.

Maybe she’s Jinxed. She grew up at the orphanage. She was told that she was wrapped in a swaddling cloth and put in a basket, and left at the gate of the orphanage. She grew up in a hard way in the orphanage until when her foster mother Matron Logan adopted her at her retirement.

Now, having grown-up she struggled to Support her family. Now she lost her first time, lost her job and lost the only man she ever loved.

This life is unfair! Why does she have to Suffer so much to survive in this cruel World? She will just end her life. What sin had she committed in her previous life that she had to pay so much price in her present life.

Julian Brabra is a married man now. She will never love again. The price for love is so high that she doesn’t want to love ever again.

As Aurora was walking along the street, she didn’t know that she was at a bend. She was deep in her thoughts and didn’t hear the horn and screams of people around.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She raised her head Suddenly, perhaps it was her intuition but it was too late, the car had drawn too close and then:
