Cruel World

Chapter 33: chap32

Sarah

She holds the cradle of the phone nervously and repeat the sentence she has to say...she looked at the card and dialed the number...she wiped the sweat from her forehead and she took a deep breath...she has no idea is she crossing a line or not.

She thought she still can put down the telephone and walkway but after the fifth bell, the phone was picked from the other side 'Hello this is Theo grey' She heard her husband baritone voice after one week he has gone from Miami to London.

Sarah, it's now and never...She softly speaks 'It's me ..Sarah. I hope I'm not disturbing you'

She doesn't get the response all she heard was silence and then she heard Theo stun voice 'Sarah? everything is ok...and where you get my number'

Damn , Sarah though is she is in trouble 'Hmmm actually I want to talk but I don't have your number so I told Elva I need your number as I lost your number because my cell phone is off...I lied so don't worry..she said she will give to men and I take it ..I'm sorry if it bothers you 'she stat fumbling

Theo stops her 'Sarah.ok Sarah... I get it...now come to the point what you want to talk...its everything all right 'He asked in a worried tone

Sarah sighs 'Yes everything is ok...actually I need your permission'

Theo replied 'Permission for what'

Sarah hesitantly said 'Elva told me that today there is a book fair and many authors will be there for the signing...since I'm reading a book whose author is going to be there and she will be releasing the second installment of that book ..so Elva told me I should go'

There was a silence for a moment then she hears Theo laugh 'Oh god for a moment I thought something is seriously wrong...you can go but you still haven't told me about the location'

Sarah played with her ends of the hair 'It's in the Florida City'

Sarah can felt the war going in Theo head as Theo sighs 'I ...Sarah, it's quite far away from where you live...I'm not comfortable you are going like this without my presence' Theo said irritably

Sarah hold the grip on the phone tight and waited 'Elva will be going too and I'm taking Ava too but if you don't want then I won't go 'she meekly said

Theo sighs and reluctantly 'You can go but you will come back home sharp at 6 not after that Sarah ' he warns her and Sarah nodes her head 'Also I'm sending the official driver from my Miami office ...so tell him he will take you'

Sarah excitedly said 'Of course Sir I will do whatever you have told me ..I'm really grateful'

Theo replied 'but still Sarah don't make me regret my decision ok...I'm far away from you .. maybe I can't do anything now but

Sarah suddenly replied 'I promise you won't...Thank you so much, sir and sir, I'm...when you will come back?

Theo said 'Maybe after 10 days but why ' he sounds curious why she is asking

Sarah looks down shyly 'i ...I really miss you .. I hope you come back soon'

Theo was quiet for a moment 'I'm glad that you think about me ....honestly speaking I miss having you ...especially at night. ' Sarah blushed like a tomato but Theo stop when Sarah heard in the background someone else voice

Theo replied 'Ok sandy connect me...Sarah, I have to go I have a call on another phone but remember the time'

Sarah happily replied 'ok I will. I love you'

But Theo doesn't reply and he cut the phone. Sarah for a moment felt why he did that but she told her naive heart maybe he is really busy.

(In The Book Fare)

Sarah holds her toddler daughter who was awestruck with the balloons and colorful camps and book stalls...Sarah was also very excited and after she caught the author who wrote her favorite book she was on cloud nine...Elva who has found her old friends and they were chatting and having lemonade...Sarah got extra time to buy out some more books...She also looks for the children books. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Since she is making a habit to read a storybook to Ava during her sleep night...she was busy looking at the books that she comes across a familiar person.

Sarah saw her friend from university time Molly ..She was still the same 'Molly' Sarah said in a shocked

Molly gaped at Sarah 'oh my god Sarah Blake'

She hugged Sarah and then she saw curious eyes of Ava looking at her 'OH my she is yours...she is the cutest and beautiful baby I have ever seen'

Sarah smiled proudly at her daughter then she said 'How are you molly'

Molly shakes her head 'Forget about me...tell me where the hell was you...you were gone like a ghost and I heard you are married to the hottest bachelor of town ...oh my god I'm talking so much we need a

place to sit come there is a small outdoor coffee bar ..come we will talk'

Molly didn't give Sarah any choice and drag her with her and made her sit' You sit I give the order for coffee'

Sarah was puzzled as hell what happened to her but Molly was always like that ...overexcited but she was not having a good feeling talking to her alone without Theo permission. she has been operating like a robot for Theo and she can change that habit of her...

Molly came back with the coffee and said' so now spill where you were'

Sarah hesitantly told her the edited and acceptable version of her married life that it was a business marriage and then they both fall in love and now have a baby

Molly who look super interested 'Oh wow..well Theo doesn't look like a guy who fall in love so easily...he was the hottest thing in the whole city no wonder how you catch him...and how rich he is too ..you know weeks ago when I saw you and theo in the television where you both look like a superstar ...it was some business gala event I think and damn the way he talk'

Sarah smiled and nodes 'Yeah he is really handsome and intimidating too'

Molly came closer 'Really like how in a normal way or in bed'

Sarah blushed by the blunt words of molly but it was made Sarah cautions not to say something extra so she changed the topic 'We have been talking about me so long what about you'

'Oh nothing I'm a journalist to a local newspaper and its boring nothing interesting than your life..and my love life is high and low then high and low...so tell me about this beautiful girl..she truly pick grey genes'

Ava who was busy chewing her teething biscuit, Sarah replied 'What should I tell she is almost 8 months old and she is my life' Sarah said with emotions

Molly casually said 'I never thought a man like Theo will ever marry or had a child but I think things changed when he lost his sister...you know how she died... I remember she was our senior. She was with Simon...oh yes she was..so what happened..is that true she was kidnapped and raped or it was a rumor since police have closed the case at that year because of lack of evidence but is that true'

Sarah was now super uncomfortable and she stands 'I think I have to go..it's almost 5 and Ava nap time will be disturbed if I don't put her in the bed ...it was nice meeting you bye' Sarah try to get away but Molly stand and hug her tightly like she is her best long lost friend 'oh come on give me hug and promise me you will meet soon'

Sarah smiled reservedly 'sure'

Somehow Sarah reached home at 5:50 and she relaxed a little ...at exact 6; 00 the phone ring and it was Theo 'You are back'

'Yup I was in the home at 5; 50' Sarah softly replied

Theo took a relief sighs 'oh that's good ' Sarah thought why he sounds so tense

'Is everything ok' she meekly said

Theo intimidating voice came 'yeah ... I have to go'

Sarah put down the hone in confusion..What was that about.

Theo

Theo was freaking out when he thought he might make the biggest mistake of his life letting Sarah go alone...she might have run...maybe go to the police...he shakes his head, this seed was planted inside his head by Mom and Tom who have called him after he had given a permission to Sarah

His mom said on the phone 'I can't believe Theo you left that girl alone in the house...what if she turned Elva against you what if she goes to the police' Roma yelled

'Mom plz don't come to conclusion..She won't say such stuff I can guarantee you.And why you are so upset about it all of a sudden' Theo patiently said

Roma replied 'Cause I'm seeing things that you can't see....she is letting you fall for her and you are falling in her trap and I think she is succeeding... I saw the pictures of you guys in the newspaper...she looked like a proper elite class woman...you really spent a fortune on her..'Roma sarcastically said

Theo understand where this anger is coming from the freaking pictures of them in gala...he took out his cigarette and smoke 'Mom I'm doing what's best plz just trust me'

Roma start yelling at him again that Tom came and took the phone and said 'Wow brother...you are entertaining mom very much (Tom tease him) but she was right ...you should not leave Sarah alone..we can trust her too much she will get a chance anyhow and I'm telling you she will avail it..'

Theo put the cigarette in the ashtray and think..Maybe he is right Tom is getting too soft on her and after she confesses she loves him, he felt a change of heart

Theo said again but in anger 'Tom if you believe me, then let me do what I'm doing'

He put down the phone and then wait for the clock to turn 6 ...he is the man of his word...she knows she can't double cross him...Theo console himself like that.

When the clock turns 6 he calls the landline and took a relieved breath when he heard her soft calm voice of Sarah ...fuck she is here...she did not go anywhere.

He put down the phone and shake his head and said 'she won't betray me, she knows the consequences for that. Mom and Tom are just freaking out for nothing'
