Chapter 69
If Karl hadn't shown up that night I would have ended my life right there in the pool of my own blood, but now I wonder whether I am alive or dead already. I couldn't feel my body but can feel that I am still alive for some reason.
Suddenly, I felt a small drop on my cheek followed by a soft whimper which sounded so familiar.
Harry......
He is here for me, my man. My heart ached for him. He was asking me to come back for him but I couldn't move my hands to touch over him and gave him an assurance that I am here.
His continuous whimper bothered my heart but Tammy's betrayal hurt me a lot not to come back into this cruel world once again.
How could someone do this to his friend?
His smiling innocent face flashing through my mind every second enough to hurts me a lot more than anyone else can imagine by thinking the remaining days we are going to hate each other.
One week later..............
My visions blurred when I looked around my surroundings, I could barely open my eyes like a newborn baby. I could feel some familiar faces were looking down at me but couldn't able to recognize them because of my blurred vision.
"Yeah! You are right, she is awake!!!" A faint voice whispered.
"Thanks." I heard someone says followed by a soft wet kiss that lingered on my forehead for a minute. I smiled but my eyes decided to close to have a deep sleep not knowing whether it is my last breath or a new beginning...
"What happened to her? Why is she not responding?" The room filled with lots of questions followed by a scream before I blacked out. Fate will decide what to do in my life...

Epilogue
A small girl maybe 3 or 4 years old chased behind the flying butterfly very eager to catch the butterfly in her hand but it fled away in front of her eyes. She got frustrated but the feeling poured down through her cheeks in the form of tears.
She went home with teary eyes and when her mom asked what happened she explained everything as to how the butterfly flew away.
Her mom smiled looking at the innocent child and said, "She is gonna kill that butterfly for being rude towards her precious daughter."
The little kid threw her mom an innocent look and said, "I don't want the butterfly to get killed. I like it, mom." She is on the verge of crying.
"Sweetie, if you had caught the butterfly what would you do?" Her mom asked more kindly.
The little kid tapped her forehead and gave her mom an honest answer. "I would have kept the butterfly in my book." But she doesn't know the butterfly won't survive more than a week.
"That's what I'm going to do." Her mom cheered loudly." Then it will die right after 2 or 3 days!!"
The little girl understood what she was about to do and hugged her mom so tightly. "I won't do it again." The little girl felt guilty.
Her mom rubbed her hair and said, "You don't know about your action wound kill an innocent fly but now you know and think twice before you do anything. Our small mistakes can lead to something big loss, it may be a relationship or a friendship. Be aware of what you are doing.."
The little girl nodded her head and had her dinner happily.

Sheila's POV:
Six years later........
"Take care, my beautiful." Harry whispered in my ear, wrapping his hand around my swollen stomach.
I furrowed my brows and looked back at him through the mirror. "How did you find me beautiful? I look like an elephant!!" I couldn't hide my anxiety but asked.
I'm getting more weight day by day, everyone would have forgotten the skinny Sheila even I don't remember my old frame.
I'm nine-month pregnant with the baby boy and my craving for food developed a day when I confirmed I'm nine weeks pregnant and here he is taking care of me like I'm an Arabian Queen and when I said you are treating me like this, he called me his Queen even though he is not a king.
He has changed a lot. Life taught him more lessons than necessary and raised him as a well-grown man. He is so careful over small things, sometimes it kinda annoys me but I can't mad at him for a second if want to.
We married one year ago and I moved to New York with him. At first, it was difficult and I had teary eyes for over a month. Leaving my family, my friends and the place where I have all my memory, for a man is not easy for me but the love he has poured me helped me to overcome all my pain and he made me feel like I'm in my home.
Now I wonder how he managed back there in India...
He fixed the giant 360° camera in our living room and set the connection to the TV. "You can talk with your family even when you are cooking." And it worked very well.
He was so adamant to start his new company but after giving him more lectures about the employee's situation and the company's loss, he took over his dad's company and now known as a successful billionaire, but is he happy?
Noo..
Soon he may start his new company and as far as if he doesn't give up this company, I have no reason to oppose him. I know him very well, he has a talent for managing two big companies at one time and in the future, it may twice or thrice.
"You are always my cute angel." He said in his husky voice and rubbed my stomach lovingly. "Don't bother Mommy too much. Be a good boy like dad, Okay?" He asked the baby and as a response, the baby moved inside my stomach.
