LOST LOVE

CLUB

**Three Days Later**

**Catherine's POV**

It's a sunny evening. I was watering the plants. It has been two days since I was discharged from the hospital. I observed my plants closely. They are growing fast. The leaves have a dark green color. I touched the leaves and talked to them. They answered me by shaking themselves. I was so engrossed in the conversation with them that I didn't notice someone's presence behind me.

I looked back. It was Serena, standing there.

"Who are you talking to?" she asked, looking around.

"My children," I answered.

"Your children?" she repeated. I know she must be confused.

"My plants. They are my children," I clarified.

"Oh, so these are your kids," she said sarcastically.

"Yeah, Serena. You should consider your plants as your own and talk to them. That's the only way they'll grow fast," I advised her.

"Then others will think you've lost your mind," she laughed.

"There's no one here other than an intruder," I replied. People can only see this if they break into my house.

She muttered something under her breath.

"So, how are you now?" Serena placed a hand on my forehead to check my temperature.

"I'm more than fine," I answered and continued watering the plants.

"So, where have you been these days?" I asked. She looked down.

I hadn't seen her since she dropped me off at home. Once, she called, and I explained the situation.

"I broke up with him," she said in one breath.

I lost my grip on the hose. Why did she break up with him? They were so cute together. They even planned their wedding for next year.

"Why?" I asked. I never saw this coming.

"He was cheating on me," she said, shocking me even more.

"What?" It was unbelievable.

"He told me he was with his sister, but she wasn't his sister," Serena continued.

"He told me she was his sister while he told her I was his sister," she stopped.

What a cunning man! He was playing with two girls. How long had he been cheating on Serena? If she hadn't found out, where would this have led? My mind was in a daze.

"Are you alright?" I asked her. She gave me an amused look.

"Of course, I am. Why should I be sad about that scumbag? I'm glad I found out soon," she said calmly, surprising me. I thought she would be devastated, but Serena handled it well.

"Wow, that's good." I patted her shoulder.

"You know, I slapped him, and now my five fingers are printed on his left cheek," she said.

"Oh, girl. I never knew you were a badass." My compliment made her smile. She gave me a proud look and said, "He wasted my time. He doesn't deserve a girl like me."

"Sure, he doesn't," I agreed. How can someone cheat on the person they claim to love? They don't deserve love. My thoughts were interrupted by Serena's loud voice.

"Let's go to the club tonight," she said, holding my hand.

"No," I answered quickly. I didn't think it was a good idea.
