The gifts

Andrew picked up a cup and he asked, "Why do you think like that? Do you have such feelings for me?" He questioned me instead so I said, "Alice was saying things like that. I guess she was just trying to pull my leg." Andrew assured, "Don't worry lovey, we are just best friends. I do not have such feelings for you." After he said it I felt relieved and went to give him a friendly hug, "Thank god. I don't know what I would have done if you said you had such feelings."

We resumed cleaning and in the middle he sat on the sofa to rest but ended up sleeping. So, I covered him with a thin blanket and said, "You worked too hard. Thank you Andrew for being with me all these years." I finished cleaning and went to my room and slept. The next day, I was tired, so I woke up late also because I didn't have to go to the law firm. Andrew had already went and my family also had already left. My mom had left a note. "We didn't wake you up because we thought you must have been tired. I have already made breakfast, heat it up and have it. Andrew also already left after having with us." I ate my breakfast and sat on the sofa.

I looked at the gifts and started opening it. I got many gifts like earrings, bangles, photo frame, show piece and others. But the two gifts made me smile and happy more which were from Andrew and Louis. Although they could have bought me many expensive things maybe that they knew that if those were expensive I would have returned. So, Andrew had gifted me a wind chime. He knew that I loved wind chimes so much and I always had thought of buying one but I didn't get to buy. So, I felt so good when I swung it and it made a pleasant sound. Whereas Louis had gifted me a dream catcher and there was a card. It looked like it was a handmade card. The card was beautiful. Along with wishes it was written, 'Hang the dream catcher in your bedroom. I hope you have all good dreams after you hang it. Also, I wish that you will share with me about your dreams so that I can fulfill all for you.'

I don't know why but I had started feeling more and more, day by day for Louis. So, I thought that if he will tell me one more time that he will wait for me, I will tell him that he does not need to wait any more. I watched movie and sat lazily and Andrew came in my apartment and brought me lunch. I was staying lazily having lunch with him. The day ended just like that.

AFTER ONE WEEK

I got a call while I was in the office looking at a case file. The call was from Alice. I picked it up and she talked with excitement, "Oh my god Sarah I don't know how to say this but..."

"But what?"

"You won't believe this, I finally got the marriage proposal and I accepted it."

I felt so happy so I congratulated her and asked, "So, have you decided on the date also?"

She said, "Yes, just because of both of our works, it will be held after two months only. But still I am so excited."

"Well, my bestie is getting married. This is the most exciting thing for me. I hope you will be happy forever with him."

After talking for a while I ended the call. I went to the lobby and there were everyone sitting there and discussing something. I sat and asked what was happening, so one of them said, "The whole country is raging with anger. Didn't you see the news?"

I said, "No. Tell me the details."

"The politician named Janol Patrick is the main focus of attention. His son is charged for rape and murder of his own friend. But he is released already and also there will be trials held soon. And yes I even heard that Andrew is the prosecutor for the case. But the question is who will be the lawyer to defend that criminal. Obviously the only ones who can defend him is you Sarah in our law firm and also in this city. But we know that you won't take the case even if they will offer lots and lots of money. Am I right?" Edward asked looking at me. I looked through the news after I heard him and replied, "Well, being lawyers we cannot say that he is the criminal until the last decision is told. But yes if he is in the wrong side, I will never take the case. I am not the one to take the case for the money he throws." We discussed a bit more and I returned back to my apartment.
