MAHIRA'S POV
When I woke up Adamsen was sleeping besides me with revelled hair. He looked like he was exhausted and I felt sorry for him. His hand's were intertwined with mine. I had a oxygen machine attached to an oxygen mask to help my breathing.
Mahira," Adamsen..."
I called him as I gently to wake him up. He woke up after three call's and held my cheeks.
Adamsen," Mahi... are you okay. Do you need something. Im really sorry I fell asleep. Im awake. Tell me are you hungry."
I nodded my head and he urged me to take a shower. I did that and he went to the kitchen to prepare some food for me. After taking a shower I wore a light silk dress. I went downstairs and there was a lot of dishes on the table. His efforts really melted my heart and I started asking myself why I didn't fall in love with him instead. My heart just decided to always beat only for Thane and I so wanted to exchange it.
Mahira," Adam..... thank you for taking care of me. It means a lot to me . I appreciate it so much."
Adamsen hugged me all of a sudden and I didn't push him away.
" Mahi... I thought something bad would happen to you. You really mean a lot to me Mahi. I love you so much."
Did my ear's hear right? Did he say he love's me. No no no, this can't be happening. I pulled away from the hug and looked at him in disbelief.
Mahira," What did you say?"
Adamsen," Nothing. Sit down and eat your food. Look at how skinny you are."
He avoided it and we ate. The food was delicious. He's really a great cook but I couldn't enjoy the food because he's word's were lingering in my mind.
Mahira," Adam.... I... I just..."
He cut me short before I could even finish.
Adamsen," You know that Thane is not good for you right. But you still love him anyway. What are you made of? Your strength really... I adore it but you are wasting your life on him."
Mahira," Don't speak ill .... of him."
Adamsen," you know that what I'm saying is the truth,but you don't want to accept it."
Was he right. Was I wasting my time. I mean true love always has hurdles.
Adamsen," Why can't you see my love for you Mahi? Why? Am I not good enough. Since grade 7, I have only loved you and no one else. I stayed loyal to you and only had eye's for you. At some point you were happy with me. What have I not done for you Mahi?"
Mahira," What do you mean?"
Adamsen," We dated once for a whole year. I did everything for you Mahi. All I ever did was love you but you moved on and forgot about me. I did everything to keep you but after you left the country you fell in love with some colored and that's him. Why would you do that to me Mahi?"
Mahira," This... this is...im dreaming right."
Adamsen," My feelings are a dream to you aren't they? Mahi...he doesn't deserve you,why don't you get that huh? He doesn't value you. He's abusive,he doesn't trust you,then why do you still love him? Look at yourself. I've been trying to help you recover but your mental health is unstable."
I shaked my head in denial.
" Im not mentally unstable...im fine... I'll be okay... it's nothing serious, just stress."
Adamsen," Mahi... you are being selfish can't you see that. You are neglecting yourself and hurting the people around you for what?... For Thane. He doesn't even care if you live or die. It doesn't matter to him."
Mahira," What do you want me to do? To forget the year's of my life that I invested in my relationship. He lost his way, he'll come back to his senses. It's just a misunderstanding."
Adamsen," So what. What if he doesn't come back to his senses? Will you wait forever? Your son's are with him, do you think they're safe? With people like Bianca,are the kid's safe. Wh don't you fight for their custody?"
Mahira," They hate me, I can't be unfair to them. Let them recover first then I'll fight for their custody."
Adamsen," Mahi, Thane has moved on. Please give me a chance. Im willing to accept your children. We'll raise them together. Im willing to accept them as my own Mahi. Im not ready for a family but for you I'd do absolutely anything."
Mahira," I can't betray him.... I already cheated on him ...by sleeping with you....no..im sorry I can't..."
Adamsen," cheating on him? Right now as we speak you are only sleeping with me for your son's sake but him. He's fucking every single girl he sees on the streets and you are worried about hurting him."
Mahira," He's just hurt that's it....."
Adamsen raised his hand at me and I closed my eyes waiting for that hot feeling on my cheek. He folded his arm in a fist and started punching the wall again and again and again until his hand's started bleeding.
Adamsen," Again you are choosing him Mahi. Why ? What does he have that I don't? Why Mahi,why?."
Mahira," Adamsen stop, your hand is bleeding."
I tried to stop him but he pushed me aside and stormed out. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't convinced myself not to. Adamsen was really a good guy and he deserved better but im not that girl for him. Even if I pity him I can't love him the way he love's me.
The next four months were really bad. Adamsen barely ever came home and even if he came home he was always drunk. He'd lock himself in the room and avoid me. He was endorsed in his office work. Even I started neglecting my health. I mean Adam was always the one who made sure I was fine. He arranged for my counselling session and therapy as well. He took me for checkups and all that. My bank accounts were unfrozen now by Adamsen. He allowed me to work. My focus was on my work so that's the reason why I didn't focus on my health. Angelo and Alexander were now six years old. They turned six a few months ago. I managed to send them gift's and they loved them.
Im their mother after all, even if they didn't realize that. September was their birth month,a month before my birthday. Tomorrow will be the first day of June,my contract with Adamsen will be over and Thane will be getting married to Bianca. My fate huh. My head was telling me to give Adamsen a chance but my heart just won't budge, stuck on Thane. I was packing my bag's when Adamsen got in and he was not drunk.
Adamsen," you must be happy right."
Mahira," Adam, I... I'm sorry for hurting you. It wasn't my intention to hurt you that way... I... I didn't...."
Adamsen," listen, just because you chose someone else over me it doesn't mean I'll give up on you. I may not be your lover but we can be friends. But where will you live."
I smiled at him.
" Did you forget that I am Mahira, the CEO of AMS Film Production Studio,of course I have a place to live."
Adamsen,"Will you go to his wedding?"
I looked down.
Mahira," Yes, I want to go, just to get a glimpse of him for the last time and my kid's as well even Elena."
Adamsen," You never give up on them do you?"
Mahira," they're my family. Of course I wouldn't give up on them."
Adamsen," okay. Tomorrow can we go out for lunch before you go to his wedding, please."
Mahira," okay,no problem."
Adamsen helped me pack my thing's then he left for work again. I on the other hand worked from home for the day because I was so tired.
