" Bella ! " Emma ran towards her.
" Are you okay ? " Emma asked her helping her to get up .
" I am fine ." Bella said with a smile to make her relief .
" Sorry ,it was my mistake. " Bella said looking towards the rider . But was awestruck after seeing him.
Her heart started beating rapidly. He had black hair , almond shaped black eyes and thin lips. He is face was edgy , and perfect from every angle . He looked more like a model than a student. His height was around six feet which was above average.
" Mm." He nodded with a blank face and started going .
" Bella , Bella " Emma's voice wake Bella from her dreams . She was so busy looking at him that she didn't realize that he was already gone.
" Emma , do you know who was that guy?" Bella asked her.
" You mean Jack . Don't tell me you are falling for him . " Emma tease her after seeing her look.
" Shut up. " Bella said shying a little.
Emma chuckled after seeing her. " Let's go to the infirmary first ." Emma said taking her towards the infirmary.
" Mm ." Bella agreed and they both walk there .
At the nurse's office .
" It's not a big wound but still be careful next time. " The nurse said putting the bandage.
" I will . Thank you for the bandage. " Bella said after the nurse finishing the bandage.
"No problem . Take care of your wound. " She said .
" I will take care. Sorry for the troubles , I will be going now , Miss…"
"Yumi . " The nurse said with a smile .
" Okay Miss Yumi ." Bella said and bowed before walking out of the office .
" Bella , be careful. " Emma said helping her to their dorm . Luckily they are in the same room and in Royal Academy two people share one room . So only Bella and Emma were in the room only .
Emma make her sit down on the bed. "Thankfully , classes will start from tomorrow . So we have nothing to worry about. Let me help you with unpacking boxes ." Emma said to her giving her a glass of water.
" Mm." She nodded and took the glass.
" Emma , can you help me with something." Bella asked her hesitantly.
" I know , you want me to help you to find a job. " Emma said unboxing her luggage.
" Mm" Bella nodded.
" I know right. Therefore before only I found two jobs for us. " Emma said happily showing Bella template.
" But you …" Bella tried to say but before that Emma already guessed what she was going to say.
" I know , I know .. you are going to say , how can a businessman daughter work in a cafe. " Emma said .
" Mm." She nodded hearing her .
" Bella , come on . We are already in the 21st century and you know my family. They are free minded persons,my father will be happy knowing that his daughter is earning something not wasting money. " Emma said sitting beside her.
" But still…"
" I already told you, my father is already happy that I am working. And you don't want to take away my father's happiness right. " Emma said making a puppy face.
" Okay, fine. "Bella know that she will not stop until she says yes to her.
" Thanks, Bella. " Emma hugged her in excitement.
" Ah "Bella cried out in pain.
" Sorry. " Emma immediately let her go.
" It's okay. " Bella said with a smile.
" You can take some rest. I will finish unpacking it. " Emma said getting up from her place.
" Okay. " Bella replied knowing that even she argue about it she will not win from her.
She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Within in no time she falls asleep.
--------
Present day ..
Bella opens her eyes and see that her pillow is wet because of crying. She doesn't know why she cried in her dream but feel something bad in her heart.
She touched her chest , and feel her heart was beating rapidly like it beat a few years ago when she first saw him .
She didn't know what happened or what's wrong with her. But before she could think about it more , there was a knock on the door , " Bella ,I am coming inside." Emma said before opening the door .
" Come in ." She said sitting on the bed.
" How are you now ? " Emma asked her .
" I am better now ." She replied to her .
" Mm, I have brought chicken soup and rice for you. " She said taking out the tiffin she had in her hands.
" Thank you. " Bella said.
" It's okay ,here. " Emma said giving her a plate of food .
Bella took the plate from her and started eating.
All the time , they were both silent . They both didn't know from where to start. These few years ,were a huge difference . They became like strangers to each other.
" Bella ,where were you all these years ? " Finally Emma asked her .
" I was in Australia. " Bella replied after few minutes .
" So you were in Australia ," Her mom said from the door. She came to take her home today so that she can get ready for her engagement party .
" Mom," Bella said .
" Get ready ,we are going home now . We will talk about this later. " She said and went outside.
" Yes ," Bella nodded with a sad face.
" Bella , do you want to marry ? " Emma asked her .
" Do you think I want to , to someone who I don't even know ? " She said to her with a sad smile.
That was one of Bella's features , she always smiles whether it's in happiness or in sorrow. Emma know that this time she was in sorrow even she was smiling her eyes are saying something else. Like they were trying to say help me .
But even she can't do anything or she doesn't want to , she knows that the only way to take her out from this hell is these marriage. The only one who can protect her is Jack.
" I know what you are thinking but Bella try to think the other way around . Maybe he can change your life right. " Emma said to her .
" Mm" Bella nodded , she didn't know what to say. Everyone is asking her to be positive but they are not asking her views. She didn't know what to say. Even if she says they will not understand so she didn't say anything.
