Chapter 88
“Gabriel? What are you doing here?” She asked as the blood drained from her face?”
“May I come inside your house?”
Aurora stepped aside, allowing him to enter. Gabriel looked at her place, once Aurora closed the door, he turned towards Aurora.
“How are you, Aurora?” He asked, taking a step further in her direction and placing both his hands to her face. “You don’t know how I missed you, love.”
Aurora closed her eyes for a second to gain strength. She gulped and forced a smile on her face. “I am fine, Gabriel but there is something important I want to talk about.”
Gabriel nodded. “Anything you want, love. Anything you want but first let me feel your arms around me to feel alive again. I was in hell without you…”
He tried to kiss Aurora but she turned her head and took a step back.
Gabriel stiffened. “Aurora? What happened, love?”
“If you missed me this much then why didn’t you call me once, Gabriel. I tried to call you many times but your phone was always off.”
Gabriel frowned. “You are right, there is something you need to know to love. I thought I won’t tell you about it because I know what she meant to you but I can’t lose you. You are the one I have in my life.”
“What do you mean, Gabriel?”
Gabriel stiffened hearing his full name from her lips again. She used to call him Gabe, not Gabriel. He could feel a change in her behaviour towards him.
But he needed to make her understand everything calmly, she was his fiancee, he knew she was angry and he needed to cajole her.
Gabriel once again tried to hold her face but Aurora stopped him by showing her hand, “please don’t come near me, Gabriel and say whatever you want to say.”
“Alright, then listen. I tried to call you many times, Aurora. Many times but your phone was not reachable. I tried to contact you every way but someone blocked my contact and conspired for us to not communicate with each other. I even called that person and scolded her for interfering in our relationship, she warned me to stay away from you. But I don’t care about her. What I care about is how can you think that I didn’t try to call you. Don’t you know your fiance…”
“What are you saying, who interfered in our matters, who conspired against us? Who are you blaming, Gabriel?” She asked, stunned hearing his words?
“Susan, it was her who warned me to stay away from you. You know she even said that you have someone else in your life, I didn’t believe her. How could I when I know you, My Aurora can never do something like this to me!” He said with a heavy throat.
Aurora’s legs turned to jelly, she forgot how to breathe. “You are lying, Susan would never do something like this, never.” She whispered, trusting her friend one hundred per cent. Susan knew how much she hated it when someone tried to interfere in her matters. She couldn’t do that.
Gabriel was astounded hearing her words. She never questioned his words ever and now she was telling him that he was lying. She changed this much in a few months. “Aurora, you are calling me a liar!”
“Yes, because I have full faith in Susan. She is my soul sister, she can never do something like it. Never!”
Gabriel nodded. “I never thought I would have to show you proof of something but I came prepared for this,” he pulled out his cell phone and started a recording in which he was talking to Susan.
Aurora’s face turned ashen. She didn’t know what to think and what to feel at this moment. Susan did that to her.
“Did you believe me now? You know you hurt me today with your words Aurora but I am ready to forgive you for them because I know how much you love Susan…” he moved ahead and raised her chin h his thumb and forefinger.
“I love you Aurora. I know you are shocked but you will be fine. We will leave here and marry each other. I can’t bear this distance between us anymore. I have suffered enough without you being by my side.”
Aurora met his gaze and searched his eyes. She gulped before speaking. “What took you so long to come here, Gabriel? Why didn’t you come here sooner, tell me?” Did she ask? “Was your camp more important than our relationship?” She jerked his hand from her face.
His brows jerked upward. “How could you think like that? I wanted to come to you but couldn’t Aurora, I was stuck in a situation. I came here as soon as I could.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“What situation Gabriel? What situation are you talking about? I know whatever Susan did was wrong but one good thing came out of it that I came to know about my true feelings. I am sorry, Gabriel but I can’t do this anymore. I feel suffocated in this relationship. In these four months, I came to know what true love feels like. It gives you freedom, not a cage, Gabriel. I am sorry but I just can’t,” Aurora said, with a straight face. She was trying to keep her tears at bay. She didn’t want to look weak at this moment.
She looked down and inhaled sharply, before opening the small box in her handbag in which she keep his ring. “I don’t have any right over it anymore.”
Gabriel glanced at the ring on the box once and then at her face. “So she was right, you found someone else, huh? Who is he? Someone from your class, someone rich just like your father?”
