Hope For A Miracle

  The house was silent after Harrison left. The only thing I could hear was my pounding heartbeat and my heavy breathing. I am so stupid. I should have realised sooner that a man like Harrison wouldn't do things without wanting something back in return. I mean how could he have helped my kids and I for helping sake and all this narrowed down to that  he wants to get back to Zain through me. It makes sense now. I thought he had done enough in the past but I was wrong, this is just the beginning. Doing all that he did was to hold me indebted to him. I should have known. I realized not everyone will be like me, helping without wanting something in return.

 Tears flowed fast down my cheeks and blurred my vision. I quickly wiped them away but they just came quicker. I hate myself right now. I hate everything about myself. If it wasn't for Harrison my life would have gone a lot differently, way more happily. I would have been happy with Zain and the twins. 

   And woah, Zain is married, where did that leave me?

I sat there quietly crying to myself, trying to figure out how on earth I could deal with Harrison. He has power and I know that he might open up my past to the twins and that will not be so pleasant when they get to hear of Zain. I had always lied to them about him and this dude would not rest until he ruined me again.

  I don't know if he was supposed to be coming after me or Zain, the man who stole his love? 

   It suddenly hit me that I could do something other than sit there and cry and that was to get on with my day until I figured out how to deal with Harrison. so I stood up, wiped my face and picked my handbag, not forgetting to put the card inside. I left after locking up the house.

   Right outside, the morning breeze was all I needed to know that things will be fine despite how deep the storm will be.

  I got settled in the car and drove off, wishing for a miracle to happen.

 Zain's point of view..   

 Right inside into Spring High Academy's premises, Claire got down and I went after her, picking her backpack for her. I decided to see her principal. I wouldn't want my little niece to be bullied by some teenage boy again. She was not sent to school to be bullied.

   We walked through the school gate, holding hands. She never minds me doing things like this with her. Most of the time I drop her off at school but this is the first time I am going into the school premises with her. Her smile was radiating and I thought if she could be this happy with me taking her into the school premises then I will do more of it, in the near future. She is thirteen but still my baby.

  Girls were gushing and boys had this jealous glint in their eyes. I chuckled to myself when I realized that they can be thinking the most awkward thing in their mind right now.

  "Hey Claire"

I heard some girl calling her and we halted in our tracks. The girl raced towards us, smiling lovely. She has purple hair and bright blue eyes. When she got to us, she pulled Claire into a hug. The hug was over before I knew it. She turned to me and gestured,

"Good morning, Sir Zidat"

 She smiled brightly at me and reached out to give me a hug. I laughed and returned it.

  She knows my name and I am not surprised, if she is Claire's friend then she should know. Claire will never stop discussing me. I am proud.

"Good morning miss"

"Oh please, the name is Lana" she said with an excited look in her eyes.

  I nodded my head. I will remember this girl. Her dressing wasn't so different from Claire's. It's a rich kid's school so I am sure I wasn't expecting to see her poorly dressed.

"Claire has said so much about you but that's by the way"

 "I bet she has"

I replied and winked at Claire. She smiled at me and went for her backpack in my hand.

  "Sorry, uncle but I have got to run. Sure you can find principal's office yourself"

She never waited for me to respond and zoomed off with her friend.

  "Of course, princess, I will sure find it and kiss some ass"

I muttered as my expression turned stone cold.
