Chapter 2: Move on.....
It was a hectic day at office as usual. "Ah! I am really tired." Anna murmured to herself.
"Then why don't you take some rest and I'll make something scrumptious for you." Anna gasped as soon as she heard the voice. It was Emily.
"Oh my! Emily is that you? I missed you so much." Anna was extremely happy to see her friend after a long time who was also Ashton's elder sister.
" I missed you too dear." For Emily, Anna was more like a baby sister whom she cared about and loved her a tonne. She lived with her husband Jack Blossom in Seattle but always kept a check on Anna to know if she was doing well. Of course, she did know about her misery but never showed it in front of Anna for she knew she would never open her wounds in front of anyone.
"How is Jack? Oh my! You have started showing up Emily. God, I can't wait to welcome and hold this little bundle of joy in my arms. "
Anna was ecstatic to know about Emily's pregnancy a few months back. She was all the way five months pregnant. She remembered how Ashton would love to annoy Emily in everything she did. She felt nostalgic about their bickering around their mansion and how Ashton would throw tantrums when Anna used to side with her. She didn't even realize that there were tears on the corner of her eyes. But as soon as she came back to present, she held them back and passed a fake smile to Emily.
Emily understood how she felt and immediately held her hands and said,
"Anna, baby girl, we are family. You don't need to hide your sentiments, at least in front of me dear. I know you miss him. We all do but it's high time Anna. You have to move on in your life. I want my lively Anna back who was vivacious, high spirited and vibrant. Have you seen yourself? My brother was really lucky to have your love but I don't think the same for you. Just look at you! What have you done to yourself Anna? He has gone and would never come back but you..... you have to live - not for him, us or anyone, but for yourself Anna."
"Em please... Stop this okay. I am fine. You see..... I have moved on in my life but not alone, I have moved on with all his memories. My only source of light in the darkness are his memories. How can I forget them? How can I leave them and move on? These three years without him have made me register his absence in my life. Don't make it more heartbreaking for me by recalling it every time, please. " She choked on her last words and ran to her room where she could shut herself from the world and its expectations that were nothing but heart wrenching for her because she could never do what they expected from her.
The two simple words MOVE ON...!
