His Little One

Chapter 10 Got a proposal

Orchid POV

I left Austin's office and entered the lift.. I finally let the tears roll as the lift door closes. My heart was beating so fast. I placed my hand on my chest, trying my best to calm it down.

I took deep breaths. I didn't want anything of these to ever happen.

And God W-hy! why? A shiver ran down my through my body.

I couldn't accept all of these. Why all of a sudden I have to meet with Austin. When finally I am able to let go of my past, move on, accepting my fate then why .

And why he was behaving like he cares for me. He said he was searching for me. Bullshit! He abandoned me when I needed him the most and now he is acting like he is so worried about me. No it's all their tricks to break me again. I couldn't let that happen.I couldn't let them get me. I just can't"

"Ding..."

The lift door opened, bringing me back to reality. I quickly left the building, got in my car, started driving. My hands were shaking. My head was so heavy.

I thought I was strong but it took just one look from Austin to break my walls again. I couldn't let that happen, not now.

My nose started to bleed. s**t. s**t ..shit. I need to calm the f**k down. All these stress acting on me. Take some deep breaths Orchid, you got this .....

After seemed like decades I was able to calm myself, my nose stopped bleeding.

But.. My heart.

I chuckled softly on my own misery.

I needed to stop thinking about him. It probably would be the first and last encounter we will have. Yes. There is nothing to worry.

He didn't know anything about me. Not My current name, address, profession, Nothing. I changed them years ago. Even if they knew, it didn't matter. I am not that timid girl anymore.

Besides I gave my word to Nana to live a good life. I don't want to let him down. He had done everything for me, starting from saving me that night. The least I can do is to keep my promise.

I won't let anyone torment my life anymore. I won't. I know how to take stand for me. I learned it in a hard way.

I have dreams to fulfil, also Granny, Oli and little Zain, the little fella has my whole heart. They love me, care for me. I don't need anyone else.

My phone rang. It was Granny. Fear gripped one more time. I hope everything is alright.

"Hello Granny, Is everything ok, Oli is fine, right?"

"Yes. She is fine. But I need a small favour, sweetie." Granny said. I breath in relief.

"What is it Granny? You know you can tell me anything. And you don't need to ask for favours just order. I'll always be at your service." I tried to lighten up Granny's mood. She might be in stressed too.

"Can you pick up Zain from his school. I don't want to leave Oli alone here. His teacher just called as I told them earlier that I would there to get him. So they didn't send him on his school bus."

"Of course Madam, don't worry. Zain and I will be have lot of fun together." I joked.

My mood lightened up a bit.

Granny knew how much I love to spend time with Zain.

I parked my car in front of the school. I could see Zain, standing with his teacher. I made my way to them.

"Hi hubby" I put my hands over Zain's eyes from behind.

He smiled sensing me. He didn't wait, turned around.

" Angel...."

Zain went straight off jumping on my arms, hugging me tightly. He nearly knocked me to the ground.

He is getting impossibly strong day by day. What is he even eating?

"Easy, boy." I chuckled, hugging him back.

"I miss you." He laughed, holding me with his tiny hands. "I haven't seen you for days. Did you forget about your hubby."

He pouted. Could he be more adorable.

"No way, how can I forget about my adorable little man, you are my sweetheart, my hubby and I miss you too" I pulled his cheeks, making him slightly annoyed.

"Hey, don't do that and I am not little, I am grown up, I just need to be tall, then I will marry you, you just wait"

He remarked confidently, which brought him my raise eyebrow.

"Ohh really. Is that a proposal?" I said putting him down.

"It can be." He laughed, kissing my cheek.

"Ok then I'll wait for you to get tall. " I kissed his too. "Now say good bye to your teacher."

He didn't wait, politely bid his teacher. "Good bye miss. See you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mrs. Megan for taking care of Zain. I appreciate it." I thanked her. I sometimes bring Zain in school, so I pretty much know his all teachers and they also know me.

"It's no Biggie, Ms. Brown, Zain's Granny informed me earlier that you are coming and sorry that you have to come here to fetch Zain, actually our school bus just left." Mrs. Megan politely respond.

"It's ok. Mrs. Megan, I understand, we will take our leave then." I know its not their fault. They were very responsible for their students.

That's why I shifted Zain to this school. It was also the most prestigious school in the city and Zain deserve the best.

"Bye Ms. Brown , bye Zain." Nodding I took Zain to my car and put his seat belts.

"What happened to your hand Angel, Did you get hurt?" Zain asked as I started the car. His big green eyes were looking at me worriedly .

He never missed a thing. Sometimes I wonder if he is really a kid. "Nothing just a small cut, I am fine." I gave him a small smile.

He got quite a bit then got excited again. There's must be something going on his little head.

"Angel can we have ice cream please, please." I knew it. He was giving me his best puppy eyes, how could I deny him.

"oh hubby, how about we have some pastries or cookies. You will get sick if you eat ice-cream in this weather, besides your Sissy Oli will beat my butt off if I get you sick. Ok. " I requested, knowing how much he can't tolerate cold.

He agreed with me but not before teasing me. "Ha...h..a...ha" His laughter filled my car. " Ok deal. But It will be fun to see you beaten up by my Sister. She can be little scary some times."

I gave him a hard look but soon broke into a small smile. I love this boy. Why he have to so considerate about everything. Sometimes I wished, he didn't turn this mature only at age 7. Life is not same for everyone.

"Ok let's get some pastries." I said which he responded with a small dance.

"Yeayy...." He exclaimed and clapped his hand. Shaking my head I drove my car at the nearest pastry shop.

We ate some pastries and cookies, bought some for Granny and Oli, We sang, laughed, and enjoyed our time together. By the time we went to the hospital it was already night and Zain fell asleep in the car. I carefully took him in my arms and went inside the hospital....

I peaked on Oli's room. She was sleeping Granny was sitting beside her, holding her hand.

I slowly closed the door behind me. It got

Granny's attention. She walked to us. I gave her the pastry bags.

"Does he know?" Granny asked. I shook my head. "No"

"Granny, I'll take care of everything here, you go home with Zain, I already booked a cab, also ordered some food, they will be here in a few minutes.You need rest, so does Zain, Doctor said we can take Oli home tomorrow morning, so I will explain everything to Zain then, ok." I said softly not wanting to wake up Zain or Olivia.

"But ..."Granny objected but I stopped her.

"No but, granny. Oli will be fine and you both need rest. Trust me"

Zain stirred in my arms. I coaxed him to go back to sleep.

"Ok." Granny finally let go.

I ensured Granny then sent them home. She was reluctant to go but after persisting she agreed.

I sat beside Oli, holding her hand. She looked so peaceful. How can someone hurt her? I'll make sure the bastard suffers for this.

"Get well soon Oli". I whispered.
