Ella's POV
After my husband died, as a single mother, I needed to take care of myself and my daughter, but it's not too hard for me because Eva has always been an intelligent child. She always tried to help me in every way she could when I was busy or didn't have time for her. She never blamed me but always wanted to support me. I don't know when my daughter became this mature, but she's the strength of my life. My world!
She's the one who forces me to start a new relationship and try to fall in love again. And she also assured me that it was all right for her.
She will be okay with her new dad! She confirmed it for me with a serious tone.
At first, I thought she was trying to look mature when she said this to me. But with time, I came to know she was always serious.
So, after realising that, I tried dating a few men. At first, that was too awkward for me. Because I am the mother of a 16-year-old daughter, it feels a little embarrassing, but Eva always supports me and tries to explain that it's normal.
Between these dating times, I finally met someone who was just like me. He is single and has never been married before. He is one year older than me and is a wealthy businessman. His name was Roy Williams, and we both met on a blind date.
That date went well, and we ended up sleeping together in the hotel. After that night, we both fell in love with each other.
Yes, Roy is the one with whom I fell in love after my husband, and he fell for me too.
We both become inseparable. Eva also met him and began treating him like her father. Roy also cared about her as his daughter.
Seeing all this, I felt blessed, but one day, when he suddenly broke up with me and left the city without saying goodbye, it hurt me deeply.
If I say I forget about him, then it's wrong. It still hurts me to the core whenever I think about him. Loving someone is hard, but loving them a second time is even harder.
Eva told me I needed to forget about him in my weak time, and I did that when I met Mark for the first time.
I went to my friend's wedding, but I was introduced to him. After exchanging contact, we started to talk on calls and went out to eat or walk.
I can't say whether we are in love, but we both enjoyed each other's company and wanted to settle down.
Even though he is young, he is an excellent, mature man; he never judges me by my age and understands me.
When hWhen he proposed to me on our last date, I was shocked for a moment because we had only known each other for two months. He told me I could take my time if I thought it was too sudden.t I don't want to disappoint him by rejecting him without any reason. So, I decided to give myself a chance with him and accepted his proposal.
His gentle behaviour made me seriously consider our relationship, and finally, I decided to forget about Roy and walk into the future with Mark.
Eva also liked him when I asked her about Mark. It means I should now let go of my past and look at my bright future with Mark.
With tWith time, I believe I will fall in love with him. I know it’s just a matter of time, that’s all.'s POV.
"Mom, are you serious?" I can't help my voice from getting loud as I look at my mom, shocked, after she announced that Mark will be living with us starting next week.
Yes, they wanted to try a live-in relationship and give them a chance to adjust. I know it's not my right to ask her, but I didn't feel good about hearing that he was going to live with us for the whole 24 hours.
Like seriously???? I shouted in my brain.
Last tLast time, he only stayed a few hours in my house, and even then I lost my mind! What will happen to me if I stay with him for 24 hours? I can't imagine my frustration right now!
"Honey, why are you looking upset?" My mom's face became worried. I think she sensed my frustration, which made me feel bad.
So, I just plastered a fake smile on my face. Mom, I'm not upset! I was just shocked by the sudden announcement!" I lied to her while we were talking.
"It's a good idea! You should spend more time together! I don't mind him staying with us!" I try to look cool in front of her.
Hearing me, she smiled back, and there was relief on her face.
"Thank you, honey! I was too nervous to think about how you would react to this sudden news." She tried to explain to me, but I held her hands, not wanting to make her nervous.
She has already done everything as a mother; now it's her life to make the choice. I can't hurt her because of my issues.
"Mom! "Mom! I understand, so don’t think about things like that. This is your life, and you should make your own choices!" I comforted her.h, sweety!" She hugged me warmly, and I hugged her back with the same love.
For myFor my mom, I need to try hard and avoid creating awkward situations with Mark. I want her to be happy. Also upset Janson that night. After the last interaction, our conversation becomes less. Whenever I try to call him or meet him, he is always busy.
I should have a serious conversation with him about our relationship.
Actually, I want a serious relationship with him.
In these few months of dating, I feel I have started to like him more and more deeply. He is gentle, sweet, funny and handsome, everything which I could want.
I should try hard for our relationship. I'll meet him tomorrow and clear everything with him.
Thinking about this, my face brightens. If everything goes well, I'll tell my mom about Janson. Now she will support our relationship if we don't let our studies be affected by dating.
"Honey, dinner is ready!" My mom shouted from the kitchen.
"Coming!" I responded and washed my hands before eating.
Now, with my mood lifted and hope blooming again, I realise Janson truly brightens my days. He makes me forget my worries, and when I think about him, I feel a happiness I can’t explain. Maybe he really is my other half.
