Chapter 43: REALISATION

GABRIEL

I was speechless and shocked. I felt my heart twisting painfully. Every word of hers was like a dagger that pierced straight through my heart, killing me softly. My mind got filled with a blank white light. I staggered towards the bench and sat down where Bria was sitting a few minutes ago. I placed my head in my hands and a white pain shot through it.

Nora was the one who broke the thick silence as everyone else was at a loss of words after what just happened.

She started slowly, "I was busy in kitchen and Adam was playing in living room with Bria. She - um- she is not feeling well for last couple of days and couldn't get any sleep last night. I suggested her to take some rest and go to her room. But she refused saying she will keep Adam company as I was busy in chores and lie down on the sofa for few minutes.
