REBORN

CHAPTER III

“ childhood is about innocence and playfulness. It’s about joy and freedom "

STUART’s POV

The last six years were the most important six years of my life where I faced many things , learnt many things and most importantly experienced something horrible that I never imagined .That horrible incident taught me many things , sometimes I thank the whole Mitchell family especially that girl Pearl.. Pearl Mitchell. She taught me how to be happy, how to love yourself then she was the one who taught me the pain of betrayal from your own. And the best part these experience taught me how to be strong and tough, I am what now is because of that incident .

  It took me 6years and 7months to recover, everyone have gave up about my recovery seeing my condition and slow progress. Once I gained consciousness and was able to stand on my feet I started doing yoga that helped me to be more calm, composed from both physically and internally , I was totally injured and was in a state of dying  but God had some other plans . He sent Tom to my rescue and thus with treatment and care I was healed .

Treatment healed me from outside , but what about inside ? I was broken inside and no treatment was efficient that can heal me from inside . I still love Pearl. I can't stop loving her. Yes I am angry because she didn't thought about my love or I was not able to change her mindset with my love, but I can't hate her the feelings about Pearl . Sometimes while sitting on my cabin I think and doubt about myself , questions myself “ Is love is not meant for me ? ” . Then after many arguments about love I always conclude that “ yes , love is not meant for me because after searching for love I unknowingly felt in love with my enemy’s daughter “.

But , you know what I still misses my Katie or Pearl . The times that we spent together , the times when we made love  , the last time when we solved the misunderstanding between us and made love on the back side of the school where I felt her bare . All  those memories all are still preserved in my heart . Many psychologists suggests me , in order to recover from your past , you have to forget your past and move on . But how can I tell them , that I loved a girl with my all heart out and it is impossible to forget her . Sometimes I even stalk her social media profile in which she was active six years back . There were no recent posts of her , but my heart feels somewhat happy after looking at her old pictures with me .

The last six years , I tried to move on by keeping the memories of her in my heart intact and at the same time focus on the business . I grew my business to a large extent , now I owns 25 restaurants across the country and my income is good . But what about the income when I can’t even give justice to my father because of lack of evidences ? 

I give the whole credit of my business growth to my two trusted soldiers ,  Daisy and Thomas . They were with me from the beginning, when I was admitted in the hospital they took care of me . I am the owner only on pen and paper but those two are the  actual owner . At first I wanted Dee to not work anywhere but she is stubborn she insisted on working on my business or else she will work somewhere outside . Her working outside was not an option , so I finally agreed to give her the post of supervisor of all the outlets . Her work is simple , I know she kind of hate it but I fulfilled her condition so she don’t have any other option .

I wanted a person to manage the accounts department of all the restaurants and Tom fitted in that position well . He is an accounts student and moreover I trust him more than I trust myself . I pays them well and has given them freedom to use the cash and all the facilities for their needs .

I was happy with all the things until yesterday that disturbed my mind a little . I was sitting on my cabin and looking about the new business venture that one of our investor has suggested , when I heard a exchange of heated conversation outside . I checked the monitor of the cctv camera and found that , there was something going on ,  it was indeed between Dee and some unknown lady . I quickly rushed outside as I am the owner and I don’t want any customer to get unhappy about our services .
