Their Last Wish

Chapter-2

It was around 10pm when we were enjoying our favorite chocolate ice-creams, something i had common with her. I thought of buying the ice-creams and then coming to our local park near our house to eat them. The park was almost empty except for few people who also like us came for a walk. The night was rather cold with a slight breeze. The weather was pleasant, a slight indication for rain later in the night since black clouds were already started covering the dark blue sky. Everything seemed quiet and peaceful and we both were just roaming around the park eating our ice-creams in a comfortable silence.

All the shop-keepers were closing their shops. It was very dark if there wouldn’t have been streetlights on the road adjacent to the park, the road would have been a dark path except for the car headlights straining our eyes. Sarah and i completed one round and we didn’t spoke anything along the way. Sometimes a strand of her straight bronze hair would drape across her collarbone and she would immediately place it back, making me wish i could touch her just once even if that’s for a second, to feel her lovely skin on mine, to make my lips in sync with her warm moving lips, to make her sigh contently while kissing her as i entangle the knots in her hair and just to hold her in my arms forever.

“Thanks.” Sarah said smiling slicing me from my very delicious thoughts.

“For what?” i asked now completely paying her attention. She replied still smiling “for the ice-cream.” I smirked and said “no probs babes.”

She smirked too. And then we again fell into comfortable silence.

“Today, mom called.” She said.

“What did she say?” i asked, not wanting to stop her saying.

“She told me that she is holding a party to celebrate Mark’s fourth birthday at her place on Sunday. I talked to Mark and he was very excited, he asked me what i was giving him and i told him it is a surprise though i haven’t thought about it. I thought maybe you have ideas.”

“How is sister? Did you talk to her?” i asked while also thinking about Mark’s present.

“Yeah she is fine. Elaina told me to come on Saturday so we can together host the party. She was very happy and told that Mark just received a certificate in the piano competition that was held in his school.” By the tone her voice i could sense that she was also very happy for him. Mark was my elder sister Elaina’s son and mine and Sarah’s favorite member of our family. We both loved him dearly and we can both do anything for him.

She continued talking “Will you come with me on Saturday or on Sunday?” she completed.

I smiled and replied “I’ll come with you on Saturday.”

“And what about Mark’s gift?” she asked.

“I have been thinking between a X-box or a piano. What say?” i suggested.

“I like the piano.” She turned to look at me and smiled.

“So its decided, we are going to give him a piano. Tomorrow we will go and buy it once i come from work. I’ll come early so we get more time.” I replied, turning to look at her and smiling.

Then i remembered that she herself is doing some work apart from running a NGO, So i enquired that too “How is your work going?”- “Yeah, pretty much good.” She said that and then we stopped talking as well as night-walking. We left the park and were heading towards our apartment. We entered the lift and Sarah pressed the 10th floor button, the topmost house in this apartment with a huge terrace which Sarah with the help of our main gardener has turned into a beautiful verandah. I suddenly asked Sarah as the lift’s doors opened “When our all the housekeepers arriving after their break?” “Miss Bonnie called yesterday telling that they would be arriving after two days.”

“Well that’s a good thing, now you don’t have to work so hard.” I said, by now we entered the house and i was locking the door while she was standing behind me. “I like working hard but thanks anyways.” And i could imagine her lips forming into a smile. I turned around and nodded my head smiling.

Then she went to her room and i mine, hers just adjacent to mine. I sighed as i entered my room, even though we are officially married and even though we practically live in the same house, we have different rooms.

I went to my desk and started taking out a pile of files that i needed to go through, from the content inside them it looked like i’ll be having a long night. My own company founded by me, even the funds required to start the company were given by me was right now categorized among the top companies in America, and the files which right now i was going through were also done by the same company’s employees. But the company where right now i was disguising myself as a chief supervisor was my father’s and since his death it had also died so i stepped in to bring it back to life.

I started my work and the phone calls from office also started coming, i groaned but continued doing so.

 It was half past two when i finished my work. Working for my dad’s company was making my nights full of piles of files waiting for me to see of my own company. I went to the bathroom to change in my boxers to go to bed. I quickly pull the duvet over me and waited for sleep to takeover but it didn’t and i found myself staring at nothing in particular. I thought of calling sister and talk to Mark but it was so late that they all would be asleep. Mom
