My Soulmate Is A Mafia

Guilt and Regrets

Chapter 15

Rochelle's POV

" Ugh . . . why is it hurting so much? " I grunted holding my head. I opened my eyes and roamed around in the room then realisation hit me. I stayed over last night at Ren's home. We had drinks, we were playing games on the couch, then we were talking about something that I don't remember exactly.

" Hey beauty queen has finally decided to wake up. Having this hangover drink will make you feel better. "

" Thank you." uugghh this smells awful.

" Drink it all at one go don't sip sip it " she suggested.

I nodded my head, closed my nostrils with my fingers and gulped it all at one go.

" Yuck , this tastes horrible Ren can't you make a better drink. "

" Yeah yeah after all the drinks you had last night tastes really good na that you want this hangover drink to taste better " she said loudly.

" Will you stop shouting Ren my headache is killing me please do something about it."

" Did you forget Elle you are the doctor not me. Next time remember not to drink too much. "

" Whatever, by the way, what time is the time it is 1 0 mins past eleven o'clock. "

" Why didn't you wake me up? Mom and dad must be so worried about me. I didn't even message them last night about my stay at your home in anger. "

I looked at her and she was giving me a ' I am sympathised with you ' look.

" Why are Ren giving me this look? "

" Uhh, your parents who are so worried about you didn't even try to contact you, you haven't received a missed call from them, not even a single message. They called only in the morning. That too was just a missed call. I know you don 't like it what I am going to say to you but whatever I have heard from you and whatever I have noticed about them is they seem a little weird to me I mean couple who has a single child that too a Dr . like you should dote on their daughter they should be proud of you care for you and love you with full heart because of the human being you are like me but what they do is just hurt you, emotionally blackmails you, orders you around according to your uncle's order and what hurts me the most is that you know about it all you understand it all more than me but just turned blind eye to them for how long you are going to live like this elle . "

" You have to take a firm stand for yourself. "

" Ren, baby calm down and takes a deep breath. "

" Shut up, I don't need to calm myself down. It's you who has to wake up from your deep slumber and had to take a firm stand. What you did last night was truly applaudable but I know you better. I know you will melt down once you face them. "

" Ren, they are my parents. How can I fight with them? I mean usually small fights are okay but we are still a family. However now i decided to move out of the that is going to cut my 50% problems. "

" I know they are your parents but they should behave like one. You know when it comes to you how i behave. Haha you seriously think they will let you move out of the house. "

" No , Ren, I know they will try their best to send me to Moscow and I am going to agree to them so they put their guards down. "

" Then are you planning to escape haha " she said sarcastically. I nodded my head.

" Seriously, Elle. " Yes. " Wooahh you are makes me so happy. Finally you will live your life freely on your terms. So what's the plan? "

" Nothing, I will just escape from there tomorrow night. Today I am going to pack my luggage and hide the bags behind the garden and no one goes there except me. Tomorrow, in the name of an emergency in the hospital, I will sneak out. "

" What if they don't believe in your emergency idea after all there are few senior doctors than you work there. "

" For that I am going to take Nurse Maria's help. I know she can handle them easily."

"Okay, now get up and take a shower. I am going to make cheese toasts for you. "

" Si Mam. "

I gave it thought last night when i was sitting on the road this is the plan i come up with. I need to do something before they send me to the moscow. I took a shower borrowed one of Ren's dress from the wardrobe. I usually don't wear too much make-up just a tinted sunscreen with a moisturiser, lip gloss and mascara that works for me. We finished our breakfast.

" So where are heading to now. " Home. " Let me drop you. "

" No need i am going to book a cab and i have to talk to Nurse Maria as well today i have a off my parents surely know about it. So i have to talk to her today before going home. "

" Okay take care and do message me about the scenario you got to see when you reached home. "

" No, I am not going to tell you I'll message you when I reach there. "

" Get lost. " I gave her a tight hug and kissed her cheek bidding adieu i went to cab called nurse maria to meet me at the library near the hospital.

" Hello Maria, it's me Rochelle. Yes doc. I told you to call me by my name when we are not working. "

" Sorry, i mean Rochelle what's up you are calling me at this hour that too when you have a off."

" Sorry Maria, I am disturbing you when you are working it's something urgent. "

" Ooh that's fine now tell me. "

" Let's meet outside at the library. See you in ten minutes. "

" Okay sure, I'll tell the incharge, i have a case to handle with you. "

" Hmm, that's fine with me. Bye. " Bye.

I arrived at the library to see Maria already waiting for me there.

" Hi sorry for keeping you waiting. I got stuck in the traffic. "

" Hey Don't be sorry i've just arrived. "

" I don't want to waste your time. I'll come directly to the point I just need a favour from you. "

" Friends don't ask for Rochelle, they just order. " I smiled.

" I want you to call me tomorrow at night, you have to say we have an emergency at the hospital and I am required. "

" Okay, I will do it and what's cooking give me the update at least. "

" I want to move out of the house but my parents re not allowing me and they are forcing me to move to Moscow permanently alone. I have my life here, my work, my friends, you, my fiance's everything. How can I leave everything behind and settle there when I don't want to go? So I am eloping. Tell me if I am doing anything wrong. "

" No, Rochelle you are doing right if i keep myself on your position i would have done the same. I mean everyone has the freedom to live their life according to their wish. You have full right to choose what you want. "

" Thank you Maria. "

" Not again how many times I have to tell you that friends don't thank each other. So where do you plan to stay. "

" I am planning to stay at my friends place. "

" For how many days you can stay there you need a permanent residence. Wait, let me call someone. "

She called someone while i was sitting there watching her. I realised I am so lucky to have such good friends Ren, Eva Maria. They are ready to do anything for me without expecting anything in return unlike my parents and uncle who just order me around like I am their puppet. ' Okay done, yes, I will send you the details. ' She hung up.

" We have a vacant room in the building where I live. It's not a big one but enough for a person to live comfortably and I told the owner that you don't have to pay a deposit right now. You can pay with the next month salary. Then the rent that you can negotiate after looking at the room. " Okay.

" So you can come with me to look at the room tomorrow. If you like it you can shift there and for the things you are required we can buy them the day after tomorrow while I have an extra mattress you can borrow one from me. " I got up from the seat and hugged her tightly.

" Enough now i have to go before head reprimands me. "

" Okay bye and I'll message you the time to call me. "

" Okay bye. " Bye. I rented some books from the library and off to go home.

I reached home and heard my mom crying as she was talking to my father.

" Diana, stop crying. It's not good for your health. You haven't eaten anything since lunch yesterday and are crying hysterically. Your blood pressure will drop. Please have this. "

" No, how can I have this. I don't know, where is daughter whether she ate or not how can you be so calm about it. She is our only daughter we had only her what if something happened to her who will we survive. After her brother's death we decided not have another baby because she is enough for us even after we knows she is the cause of her brothers death. "

( Huh brother, I don't remember having a brother and I caused his death how and why don't I remember anything ).

" Don't mention that she was a child. "

" I know that's why I never mentioned that. I am a bad mother, that's why my children left me first him and now her. I failed as a mother. I didn't even teach her manners. Look how she behaved yesterday with brother-in-law. Now you have faced the consequences for it because you are the one who requested him to send her aboard for her better future because we can't afford it. What if he fires you from the job. "

No, I can't let that happen; I didn't know my family have to suffer this much because of me or I wouldn't do that. s**t, why didn't I keep my mouth shut like all the times my father can't bear to lose the job and I definitely cannot be reason behind it. I have to apologise to my uncle. I didn't realise I was crying. I wiped my tears and decided to go inside. As I entered, mom saw me, ran towards me and hugged me.

" Where were you? I was so worried you didn't message me and neither answered my phone. "

" Mom, I am fine calm down, I just need a break. "

" Fine come quickly, let me make breakfast for you. "

" No mom, I already had breakfast. "

" Come here ". We sat on the sofa.

" Mom, I am really sorry for what i did last night. "
