THE JOURNEY OF US

Chapter 37

Julia was staying with me. “It was a crazy day.” I said, eating hot noodles just like old days. Julia said, “Just forget about it. It was not your fault. It was a deep pool.” 

   I said, “It was not my fault.” Julia looked at me and said, “What do you mean?” “Someone pushed me into the pool. It was a woman with dark and long hair.” Julia was stunned to hear it. 

   Julia took out the earrings from her bag and showed it to me. She said, “I found it on the floor when I found you.” I looked at the earrings. “I think I saw it somewhere.” I said. “Yes, it is Alice's earrings. She wears it.” 

    I was shocked. But why was it on the floor? Was she the one who pushed me? “Forget about it. We need to go to the theatre.” Julia said. I almost forget about it. 

  I was thinking about Josh too much. He saved me from the pool and I haven't even thanked him. He was trying hard to make me fall in love with him again. And it was working. 

   I started to fall for Josh again. I wanted to forgive. I wanted to tell him that I love him and want to live with him. We reached the theatre. We went inside the theatre towards our seats. 

   “Why is no one here?” I asked Julia. The door got closed suddenly. Josh came out of nowhere. I was shocked. He was looking handsome. He was wearing a black shirt and white jeans. 

   He walked towards me. I was shocked. He bent down and said, “Will you forgive me and marry me, Lydia Bennet. I am very shameful for my things. I know that I have hurt you many times. But I promise that I will love you even harder. Please say yes.” He pulled out a ring and held my hand. 

    I gave him my hand saying, “I love you too. I had already forgiven you. And I would be very happy to marry you too.” He put the ring on my hand. It was a diamond ring. We were happy. 

   Julia said, “Told you that you are meant to be together.” We were all happy. Josh and I went on a date after the love confession. Julia went home. The date was good too. He took me in a expensive restaurant.

   Josh told me that he was going to propose to me the morning before the incident but he couldn't. And also Julia was helping him to get me with me. It was a very nice night.
