WHEN THE END BECAME HER ONSET...

21. It's all done

Samuel's P.O.V:

It was around 8:00 pm when I reached Estella's house with my family. I was so excited and scared at the same time because I had to meet Estella after three years and I didn't know how she would react after everything that happened in these years. I stepped towards the main gate and Jerome welcomed us,

"Hi, people...hi Sam".

"H-Hi Jerome", I said while my voice was breaking because of my fear inside.

" Please come in. What happened to you Sam, you alright?", Jerome asked.

"Ye-Yeah!, I'm perfectly alright Jerome, nice to meet you after a long time", I replied with a slight smile.

We went inside and Amelda, Daniel, and Emily were already there. I went and talked to them. I told them how was I feeling about the movement.

"Just calm down Sam, it's just okay", Daniel said.

"Yes he's right Sam, you'd never know what happens next, maybe something better is going to happen so just chillax", Amelda said.

I tried to control my feelings and sat down on the couch with others. Soon I saw a girl coming down the stairs. A tall beautiful girl with golden hair tied in a bun, wearing a red gown. She was slowly coming down the stairs. It seemed that I've seen her somewhere.

" It's Estella...yes she's. She has changed so much in these years. Yeah, why not, now she's a great singer".

"Hey Amel, she's Estella right??", I said with excitement.

"Yes Sam, you seem to be so excited and happy to see her", Amelda replied.

"Hey, before she comes here to meet us, please you people go and meet her there only. I'd not be able to face her", I said.

"Why Sam? just come with us, don't be afraid", Daniel said while pulling my hand.

"No please, you go I'll see her from here", I said while freeing my hand from his.

They went and I kept seeing them from here only. I kept thinking about the day I broke her heart. I kept saying to myself that all I did was for her but the way I used was wrong. I could have made her understand very politely. The reason why we're in this position is because of what I did that day. Anyways, I kept hiding from Estella the whole day like a thief. I don't know if she noticed me or not but I pretended to not notice. Soon Amelda made an announcement,

"Attention please. Estella is going to sing a song for us...please give a big round of applause for Estella. Yay!".

We all went and I sat in the back corner behind people so that Estella won't notice me. This time I was afraid that if Estella saw me in between her performance then she might lag. Estella gave a brilliant performance. She sang the song we used to sing together in childhood,

There's a time I remember,

When we were just kids

I saw you from my window

In the time of December

I remember those late-night talks

When outside it was cold

I remember the promises we made

That gave me the courage to hold

I remember the days when you said

that you'd never hate me or you'd never leave

But I was so naïve to believe so

As It's complicated now what I receive

Was I so foolish to love you like that?

Then why did you make me feel so?

Now you hate me from every view

Whom do I trust again now?

She kept on singing while tears were rolling down her and my face. Everyone seemed to be relaxed because Estella had a pleasant voice, but I alone knew the message and hurt behind the song.

"Come on for the dinner guys", Nancy shouted from the kitchen.

"I'm coming to help you mom", Estella shouted from here.

We all sat down for dinner and I sat down at the last corner where I could hardly be noticed by anyone.

"You were great today Estella. You nailed it", my mom said while eating dinner.

" Thanks, Daisy, after all, it was not possible without you people's support", Estella replied while she chanced a glance over me. It seemed as if she was saying it to me.

We had dinner and all we juniors went in the ground. We all sat down to play truth and dare. As the bottle was spinning my heart was beating fast as I knew once the bottle would face me, all the attention will be towards me.

Unfortunately, the bottle faced me,

"Sam what do you choose, truth or dare?", Daniel asked.

I didn't choose to dare because I knew that they'll give me a dare that will embarrass me in front of Estella and others. It's the first time I felt like this... otherwise I didn't mind being mad in front of my bestie Estela,

"I'll choose dare"

"Okay then, have you done any great job in your life that made anyone's life better?", Emily asked.

I knew why she asked this question...because somewhere everyone wanted Estella to know the truth.

"Maybe....no..No I don't think so. I'm not the kind of person who can do such a big job", I replied with fear.

Amelda started to spin the bottle for the next turn when Estella interrupted, "lie, it's a lie Samuel. You can't break the rules of the game".

I was shocked that Estella noticed me from the very beginning and what was I thinking?

"No, I-am not", I replied.

"It's all done Sam", Estella said while heading towards me.

I was stunned to hear those three words from her after three years. I was never expecting these words from her after all that happened between us three years ago.

"Come with me", she said while pulling my hand.

I followed her way but I was shocked. I could not make it out what was happening and why.

"I'm noticing since this party started. Why are you hiding from me Sam? and why did you lie in the game?", she said in an angry tone.

As Estella had now said that it was all done so according to the rule I had to forget everything and talk the truth and spend a happy time with her, so I tried to talk to the point.
