Someone Somewhere Is Made For You

Book 2- THE WAY BACK TO YOU

#41 She is here for me

FOUR YEARS LATER

Ella.

I held my violin close to me and watched my audience cheering for me. I felt a sense of fulfilment as I stand there. It was one of the rarest occasions I feel completely at peace with myself.

I bowed slightly and walked out of the stage. My manager gave me a bundle of red roses as soon as I reached the team room.

I smiled and opened the note while my colleagues teased me about having an admirer.

Julian hadn't forgotten to send me a flower bouquet as usual.

It was a congratulatory note along with the name of a restaurant and time.

Julian is back?
...............

The luxury restaurant was decorated grandly. The soft lights and melodic piano tone in the background set a romantic mood to it.

Everything was perfect from the selection of music to the scented smell lingering in the atmosphere. But what made me slow down was the realisation that nobody was there, the whole place was decorated and it was only me.

"Congratulations, The concert was very successful."

I turned around and found Julian coming with yet another bouquet.

"It was just an event for charity. You didn't have to go overboard like this," I smiled. "When did you reach? Why didn't you tell me?"

He was busy as he was promoted to be the President of the company. Uncle George had decided to take a step back from the management.

"I wanted to surprise you," Julian smiled as he guided me to the centre of the room where a table was already set.

He helped me to sit before taking the seat in front of me and it was at that moment I realised that it was not going to be a normal dinner.

I looked around.

Is he going to propose to me!?

I looked at Julian who looked slightly nervous. I too felt anxious, but I knew I cannot drag this matter any longer.

"Um...Ella, I don't know what to call our relationship anymore, you are neither my girlfriend nor my fiancee, so I thought...I would just...you know, make it official..." he looked at me, "You...asked me to give you some time and I took a step back. But it's been two years after that...and...I thought I would...we could...talk about it."

Julian had stayed and helped me until I recovered from my accident slowly. It had taken me about a year to come to terms with it. He had always helped me without expecting anything in return and he even tried to hide our relationship so as not to give me any stress.

But as I recovered I started to have flashes of what happened. Especially what happened when I got kidnapped that day.

Every time I sleep, I could see him trying to protect me. I could see the blurry images of someone lying in a pool of blood, someone taking my hand and asking me to stay awake. I could feel the pain, desperation and suffering.

As I started to question what happened back then, it was Mama who finally admitted that the person in my dream was Julian. I had been in love with Julian before the accident happened and I lost my memories.

I was panicked and asked him to give me some time and space to get used to that news. Julian had been patient and understanding. He agreed without any reluctance and never forced me. I am grateful to him for that.
