The Masquerade

Chapter 44

Adriana's POV

"What is this?"Mrs.Clark asks.

"I am learning to make distance from all the things that Daniele doesnot appreciate"

"I m proud of you and your decision, my dear"

"I think you better handover this resignation to Mr.Richard"

I barge in his cabin to see him looking busy and messed up with his files and phone,I donot bother to knock at the door,he looks up perplexed at me,creasing his brow.

I look passively at him,he hangs up the phone saying

"Give me a minute,I ll call you back"

"What brings you in?"

"Ignorance that has been illuminated by the light"

"You dint get,state your business Adriana,you see I am busy at the moment"

"I dint catch your words in the car that day,but now it makes sense to me"

I place my resignation at his table and he looks more confused,I smile at him,when he looks up at me.

"My resignation,Mr.Richard,I am sorry for you,The maliciousness ends with you,love has strained it."

I exit the room,leaving him on his own to contemplate and grieve at his huge loss.

I see Mrs.Clark standing outside the cabin as I exit,she smiles at me passively with one of her hand on my shoulder.

"My son is so lucky to have you,I am sure your love would bring out the best in him."

"Thank you Mrs.Clark,If it wasnt for you,I ld not have realised my love for Daniele,nor would have seen his for me"

"Take some credit for yourself aswell"she hugs me.

I leave the office bidding my farewell to Mrs.Clark & Francesca,she looks startled,as trying to contemplate what is going on"

I breathe the air fresh and fragrant,filling my senses,love has me blossoming already and I feel ecery sense of me delightedly awake.

I look above in the sky so blue,I can see the world all from new eyes,like I never have.

I look across and every thought leads to Daniele.

My phone buzzes with my favourite ring tone and flashes Nancy's name,I almost feel guilty for my long gone missing.

I almost bite my tongue,thinking I ld have to listen her ranting but I pick it up to hear Nancy excitedly calling my name.

Quiet unexpected,I answer and she requests of me to see her now.

With something like a great news in my heart,I take way to the dorms,more excited to tell her about Daniele and a bit too to hear what she has to say.

As I reach the room,she reaches the door,screeching my name and hugs me hard.

"You know what,We are a couple now,Its me and Ivan,can you believe that?"

"What?"I dont believe this.

Its almost hard for me to absorb because in years now,I have only heard things like I am not one man women,this doesnt suit me,So I am astonished

"I myself dint until last bight,she holds me and swirls round taking my hand in excitement."

"I mean,Nancy its such a great news,I havent expected from you,but I am so fucking happy for you"

I listen to her,when she takes my hand making mw sit on bed side and then like a motion picture,starts showering me with each episode in detail.

I listen cheerfully,thinking I have some similar surprise for her.
