WHEN THE END BECAME HER ONSET...

1. Little secret of yours

*Flashback(18 years back)*

Authors pov:

It was a normal day in the city of Paris. A typical workday usually begins at 9:00 a.m. Everyone was busy with their chores, some housewives were already at work doing household chores, some employees were rushing for the office, and in the middle of the road was a handsome young gentleman who was driving his car carrying his wife who was expecting a second child. She was carrying their 1-year-old son in her lap and heading towards the hospital for a checkup.

'Nancy, the way to the hospital is blocked and it will probably take 15 minutes or more for the way to clear. You want me to hold Jerome for a while?', John said turning towards his beautiful young wife.

'No John it's okay. I'm alright. I feel like listening to music can you play some?', she replied.

'Surely our baby girl who's just days away from coming to this world will be a great fan of music', he replied with enthusiasm.

Soon the traffic was cleared and they reached the hospital. John told nancy to wait until he gets an appointment with the doctor. Soon they got an appointment with the doctor.

'Mrs john due to some complications your delivery needs to be done today only', the doctor said. Suddenly Nancy realized that she had forgotten to take clothes for the upcoming baby. John had to return through the same traffic again and buy some new clothes.

Meanwhile at the hospital was his wife who was struggling with Jerome. About an hour had passed when John returned with some new clothes and quickly held Jerome. These two had to manage everything themselves as their parents lived far away from the city and they could not arrive at the moment as everything was unplanned.

'Mr john I'm taking your wife for the delivery as it's already been late, have patience', the doctor said while taking nancy with her.

'I hope today's incidents won't affect our child's fortune' john whispered to himself.

And the same thing happened.

Estella's pov:

27th February 2003 exactly at noon I was born. When my father took me into his arms and said, 'I won't let my daughter weep because of anything, she would do whatever she likes'. Is Paris the only place that is a great fan of daughters?

Yes, my parents did let me do anything of my choice but I am an uninterested person. Sometimes I think that would anyone ever motivate me to work for my dreams. It's like the dream, prince Charming coming on the horse and taking me with him...hah! Who knows? I was wondering while dressing up for the day. It was off at school today so I dressed up in some casual jeans and a black t-shirt. I tied up my straight hair into a ponytail when my mom called,

'Estella didn't I just tell you to study, I know you are just daydreaming right now. My mom, Nancy Johns. She always teases me but is a sweetheart. She's happy with her handsome husband, John, of course, my dad.

'Huh! She knows me very well....save me god', I whispered to myself.

'Yeah mom, I'm studying right now', I shouted.

'My name is Estella Johns. I'm always late for work and I forget things easily. Maybe it's because of the incidents that happened moments before I was born. People aren't great fans of mine but they keep asking me about my career. And about that, I'm going to get married after I complete my higher secondary school this year. I can continue my studies later as I believe that being well settled is a must', I was announcing it to myself for no reason. When someone cut me off.

'And that little secret of yours,

Samuel, my best friend since we were born. As he's my dad's son, we're together since childhood. He is having beautiful grey eyes and fair skin. His brown hair does match his skin tone very well.

'Sam don't you have anything else to do'.

'Well I'm here to study Es', he said with a grin on his face.

'Appreciated, but I'm not in the mood to study and I don't have any secrets. Understand?'

'Oh really, so you don't have any secrets, Estella Johns? Look what I have found ', he said while pronouncing my name carefully.

[Oh no, where did he find my diary]' Sam, from where did you get my diary?'

'your diary? I thought you said that you did not have any secrets?', he said with an evil smile on his face.

'yes, of course, I don't have secrets. It's just my daily journal', I was getting nervous.

'Okay then, let's open your journal and see what's written inside. What say?'.

'No, I mean yes we can read it but after studying ', I was trying to distract him with studies so that he would forget about my diary. I was not in the mood to study right now but I had to. I suspect that this is the only way that would distract him for a while.

Soon Amelda joined us. Amelda is a really pretty girl with long brown wavy hair. She became my friend when we were 7. She is a kind-hearted person and my best friend excluding Sam. She can do anything for me: well the same scene is with me.

'Hey guys, what are you doing?', she asked while jumping on my bed where Sam was already sitting. I rolled my eyes at her. 'What do you think we can do other than make fun of each other?

'Anyways, let's study now, tomorrow is our test right', she said.

Sam was busy talking with Amelda and this was the right time to take my diary back. I quickly snatched my diary from his hand when he gave me a cold look and turned back to Amelda ignoring the protest. I know him very well, and the look he gave me assured me that he will make me regret this action later.

'Estella, are you even listening to us?', Amelda said while Samuel glanced at me. He knows what was i thinking at the moment. He knows that I'm an overthinker and I quickly get indulged in my thoughts.

'Yes, what were you people talking about?', I said while regaining my consciousness.

'Seriously? huh!, Es I'm saying that there is going to be a voting for our school CR and you have also been nominated', Amelda said while sighing.

'oh really, I did not know I was that capable'.

'Who knows? maybe that little secret of yours', Sam said while staring at me continuously.

'What are you talking about Samuel?' Amelda said in a confusing tone.

'Nothing, I'll get my books, we better study now'. I said while getting off my bed as quickly as possible. Sam and Amel were busy studying meanwhile only one thing was roaming in my mind,

'would he have read everything written in my diary?
