With the crack of dawn , sunrays filled the living room.
A person was sitting still on the couch watching the door. Myra's tears have dried up and now her mind was blank.Her hands were protectively wrapped around her belly.
A hand touched her shoulder, she turned only to find Mrs.jones looking at her with utmost pity.
"Myra get up dear , u need to eat something''
"no mrs.jones, i am waiting for Damon"
mrs.jones sighed, "Myra , u need to get up, staying hungry for long won't be good for your baby. Think about your child dear."
Myra looked at mrs.jones and her eyes filled with tears hearing about her child. She nodded in response and stood up .
Suddenly the door opened and in came Damon.
Both the ladies were startled to see him. He looks disheveled. He walks to Myra and bend down .
Myra was confused at his behaviour. Damon softly put his hand at her belly," Hey baby, I am your father. I am so sorry for bailing on you before. u know i was shocked and just needed to digest this news. But i am indeed happy from your arrival. Forgive daddy pls.... "
Damon then looked at Myra and spoke".........also please ask mumma to forgive daddy too. She has been sad because of me but not anymore. Now she will have me at her service all the time.."
Myra was just looking at him with teary eyes. Damon stood up and cupped her cheeks, " i am sorry love, I won't trouble you again...I PROMISE".
Myra smiled and hugged him. He hugged her back.
Amidst all this there was one person present who was looking at the scene in front of her with a solemn expression , wondering what the future holds for the poor girl....
........................................
Damon took Myra to their room and made her sit on the bed.He kneeled down in front of her ," Myra from now on your health is my responsibilty. I will take care of you 24*7 until the end...I mean until the child is born." She smiled and nodded in response.
She was not wrong to assume that this child will bring them closer. She was so happy finally.
