I Found You ~2

 

Bella’s birthday

It rained the whole night.

Knock knock, there was a knock on the door. It was early morning of 8 0’clock. Bella’s mom who was a lady of fifty with brown eyes and long silk black hair, opened the door. She has little wrinkles on her face. She was wearing a green flower apron and a saggy yellow bant with a loose circle-neck T-shirt. It was Jacob and Rosie,

“Hello Mrs Jennifier” spoke Rosie

“Oh hello kids, so early in the morning.”

“Yes ma’am, we are here to wish Bella” said Jacob

“Ohh_s_sorry kids_but_” she turned back and looked “Bella is not_ at home.”

“What” said Rosie

“Where could she go today?” said Jacob in surprise.

“Yes Mrs Jennifer” said Rosie

“I thought she is with guys,” said Mrs Jennifer.

“Let me call her” Rosie took her phone and started calling Bella.

Jacob and Jennifer were tensely looking at Rosie and waited. But Bella didn’t pick the phone. Jacob spoke at last

“I guess__i might be wrong_but_ i know where she can be” he turned  and grabbed the umbrella, and shouted “Rosie, i will get her to school. I will give my present to her there.” and he ran through the rain.

The Bridge scene

 There was Bella on the bridge happy watching the raindrops falling on the river. The bridge is old and made of wooden. As across the other end of the bridge there was the forest. Jacob ran and saw Bella who was wearing a white rainsuit. Jacob ran to her. 

“Hey__you” he was exhausted and wet, despite the umbrella.

“Jacob! why did you here in this rain”

“Hey__ss_ happy birthday _ss_ birthday girl” and he presented her with a bunch of yellow daffodils.

“Thanks” she takes the daffodils and smiles at Jacob. She holds her hand for his help.

“It’s your favorite_right.” He holds the umbrella for both of them.

“Yes” and she took a breath and scent of the flower. As she did, her memories flash in front of her.

16 years ago,on her birthday, it was a cloudy day. And here comes Ron and Jacob, a cute six years boys, both wearing blue and green rain suits respectively. Jacob was holding a picture frame and Ron holding a bunch of yellow daffodils. 

“Happy birthday,” said Ron “my parents brought more for you__but from me” he forwards the flowers “these flowers”

“Flowers” spoke of the little cute Bella who was wearing a pink rain suit and an umbrella.

“Oh, don’t you like flowers” he was about to withdraw the flowers but Bella grabbed them.

“I love it.”

“Really, those are my favorite flowers.”

“Mine too” she smiled to him

“What about my gift.” Jacob spoke, handing Bella his gift “happy birthday.”

Bella opened the packet and there was a picture of both of three. 

“Wow! Jack” Ron punched Jacob on his shoulder “can’t you me this on my birthday.”

“What, no way”

“I liked it and i want it.” and Ron jumped over Jacob and tickled him endlessly. Belle laughed.

“Hey Bella, why are you laughing” the voice broke her daydream. It was Jacob.

“Oh_nothing”

“Are you thinking of Ron?”

“n__n_no_no_NO”

“Hah, you were daydreaming smelling the flower.”

“oh __ it smell_good.”

“You must move on from Ron. He is never going to come to you.”

“YES _I know” she turned to the river with a serious face.”

“Then take your move forward.”

“Look, i am not waiting for him.”

“So what are you waiting for.”

“No one.”

“Then why do you see him only”

“His memories are embedded in my heart.”

“And he broke our heart.”

“Yes_but____i think__i still love him”

“Look, it's gonna give you pain only.” he took her shoulder.

“Yeah i know.”

“If you know why do you stay away from going on a date”

“My feelings_i don’t want to hurt someone.”

“You know what, you just need to choose the path, and live that path, I swear your feelings will change.”

“I too hope so.”

“Then wear a pretty dress for the fresher.” and he tucked some of her hairs back. But for sometimes, his finger lingered around her ear. She can feel his cold hands and suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. His cold hands went through her back. He then pulled her closer to him and then he kissed her. But she too kissed him back. But quickly she pushed him back. She got embarrassed and uncomfortable.

“I am sorry_ I don’t mean that” but Jacob grabbed her.

“I really like you, Bella from the time we met.”

“But” she removed his hands and said “I am not ready now. Please” and she slowly stepped back.

“I will wait for you to settle your feelings.___Bella” he smiled gently.
