Eleanor's POV
I was lazily sitting in my room. No works today. Boring day. I thought go out with Steffan, he too not free until evening. I was hell bored. What's wrong with this weather now!!! It started snowing. Every year I just enjoy first snowfall but today I am not in any mood. I was hell bored. I decided to go to mom talk with her for a while. Mom and I sometimes are crazily gossiping about many things. You can think my mom, she has grew old. But no ma'am, we are talking about Adriana Christos. She is evergreen. Still looks like her 30s. Unbelievable but still she is that beautiful. If you just look at her smiling face you can understand just why my dad is crazy for my mom. This lady has made my dad crazy for her. And I love her for being such an amazing mother.
I knocked at her door but there was no answer. I was surprised. Usually mom stays home this time. I looked at the clock. It's only 8:00 AM. Where is mom!!! I saw our Cook, Mrs. Busby was entering the hallway I called her.
" Mrs. Busby?" I said.
" Yes, Eleanor." She said
" Have you seen mom?" I asked.
" Yes, she is sitting on the garden enjoying snowfall." She said pointing the garden's direction.
" Thank you. You can go." I smiled and she nodded then left.
I took the shawl. Then went outside. I knew mom was there in her normal clothes. I went to her and wrapped her with the shawl. I kissed her cheeks and sat beside her after pulling my hoodie over my head.
" Thanks, Sweetheart." Mom said. She was deeply looking at the snowfall.
" Is everything ok, mom?" I asked as I can see her eyes were red. Has she cried!!! But why?! Has she fought with Dad!? Impossible. They never fight. Never ever. But what if they did!!!. I can't see mom like this. Sad and crying.
" Mom, is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked.
" Nothing, Baby. Why?" She turned her head towards me.
" I thought you have something to tell me." I said and she sighed.
" You know mom, I am your best friend and you can share anything with me." I said. She didn't say anything. Just stared blankly at the snowfall.
" Mom, you and dad fought?" I asked. She turned to me smiling.
" Ellie, we love each other too much to fight. Yeah, we fight some times but that never make any big issues. We are married now for almost 25 years. What do you think about it?" She said.
" I think you are right and you both are going to spend 1000 years more together." I said which make her smile widely.
" I want to stay with him as long as I live." Mom said.
" Are you blushing, mom?" I teased her.
" Yeah, a bit." She said smilingly. How cute my mom is!!! I just hugged her tightly from side then kissed her cheeks.
" You are so cute, mom." I said. She smiled.
" Thanks, baby. You are more cute." I said to my mom.
" After all whose girl am I?" I said.
" Your dad's." Mom sighed.
" I am yours too." I said.
" Of course, Sweetheart." Mom said.
" I can imagine how crazy people were for you when you were at my age." I said.
" Oh, at your age!!! I already had you and Eddie when I was 23." Mom said.
" I thought you got married when you were 23." I said a bit confusedly.
" No, I got married when I was 21. Your dad was this crazy. He blackmailed to marry him." Mom said smilingly.
" Still, my dad is so handsome and dashing, you got the perfect one. No complaining. Cause, Ellie's dad is the best dad." I said.
" Yes, he is." Mom said.
" So, you guys are so lucky to have each other. I am proud of you." I said.
" Yeah, I know." Mom said and stayed silent for a moment.
" Today is our 25th anniversary." Mom said.
" Today?! I thought it's October 16." I said.
" That's when we got married second time. But first time we got married was on this date." Mom said and smiled. Got it. I sighed. This why she is upset!!!
" Mom!!! Has dad forgotten about this?" I asked for assurance.
" No, no, Ellie. He reminded me first in the morning I was the one who forgot it." My mom said.
" Then why are you upset, Mommy?" I asked.
" Ellie, I was thinking about the day itself. I doubted on him. Called him names. I hurt him with my words but he never left me alone. He took the bullet for me. He was almost dead Ellie, almost dead." Mom said and tears were flowing down her cheeks I just hugged her tightly.
" Mom, everything is fine now. Dad is fine, don't worry. He will get worried seeing you crying." I said. " So, wipe your tears, Mommy." I said.
" Ellie, I was just thinking. If something happened to him that day I wouldn't have get a lovely family like this. I would've got you and Eddie. I would've lost myself without him. I realized I am much depended on him. Very much. More than anything. I just realized I have passed through the stage where I don't want to see anyone." Mom said.
" Oh, mom. Don't think like that. Things are settled now. We are family and we are with you now. We won't let you feel like that. Do you know mom what I like the most of you?" I asked.
" What?" mom asked.
" Your strong personality. You are a strong woman, mom. You always have been like this." I said and she smiled.
" You are very good in convincing someone." Mom said.
" Yes, I am. Mom." I smiled. She too joined.
" You ate breakfast?" I asked.
" No, I had a cup of coffee. Your dad left early I was still sleeping. I am not habitual to eat alone." Mom said.
" Can I have the honor, Mrs. Stewart?" I asked kneeling down in front of her extending my hand towards her. She giggled and hold my hand. We walked inside.
" Marie!!!" I shouted. She came and we sat down the breakfast table.
" Serve breakfast. I am hungry like a monster." I said and mom laughed.
" Yes, Marie. Go, tell Mrs. Busby to make her favorite breakfast. Oh, make it double then. I will eat with my girl today. Her favorite breakfast." Mom said and I smiled. This what I was wanting.
" That's like my mommy." I said and she smiled.
" Let's go out today after breakfast or you wanna stay at home?" I asked mom.
" Let's stay at home, watch movies and talk. I am in no mood for going out." Mom said.
" Alright Mommy. As you wish." I said.
" Yeah, let's have breakfast first" mom said.
We finished breakfast then went to watch some movies.
" Disney or Marvel?" Mom asked.
" I want to watch all Disney movies, at least as long as I can." I said.
" Let's watch then. Wow, 'Frozen'." she asked me. I gave her a thumbs up.
Frozen is one of my favorite movies. I found myself singing all the songs in it with the characters. I even danced for once with ' Let It Go." Mom laughed and I insisted her to dance with me. We watch other movies too later. I had a great time with mom today. My boring day turned into very enjoyable one. It was afternoon when mom and I did lunch. Then mom went to her room to get some sleep. I went to my room. I searched for my phone.
I found it on my bed. I regretted when I saw it's full with notifications. Firstly I was surprised to see Camilla called me 70 times. I was shocked. I first called Steffan. He was still busy. I decided to call Camilla. She picked up after one ring like she was ready to pick up my call.
" Hello!!" She said and I can feel her voice trembled for once. Like she cried a lot.
" Camilla, hey!!! Everything ok?" I asked.
" Conan!!!" She said and I got alert at once.
" What happened, Mila. Just tell me. What happened?" I asked in a terrified voice.
" Ellie, Ellie he woke up." As she said that my phone slipped from my hand and tears fall down my face. I thanked God at once.
" Ellie, Ellie!!!! You hearing me?" Camilla said.
" Yes, listening." I took my phone and again hold it.
" When did he woke up?" I asked.
" Last night. But your phone was switched off. I called Edwin. He didn't pick up. Just messaged he was in meeting and today the whole day I called you but you didn't took the call. I thought you are busy with your works." She said.
" I am so happy that he woke up. I will just come. Wait. I will be reaching in 30." I said and hung up. I got ready and get out of my house.
I took my car and drove towards the hospital. As I entered the hospital the staffs were so happy to see me as Conan woke up and I was his friend. They knew me from my regular visits to him. So, I was happy too. Very very happy actually.
I entered the lift and pressed the button 17. I was so excited to meet Conan. I got out from the lift and walked to Conan's room. As I was about to enter the cabin a voice made me frozen there.
" What are you doing here?!!!!"
