•• California State••
ALEXANDER POV
Is been years now, since I lost Aurora, and my life has been miserable without her, everyone thought I was going insane because I was obsessed with her, and I never cared about what they said. I still believe she is alive somewhere and I will see her again, I don’t care to wait for eternity till I meet with her. A lot of dates have been set for me by my mother, but I careless about it as long as my heart still beats for Aurora.
I kept working hard to ignore the date being set for me, I promised never to have anything with another woman except Aurora, and although Elizabeth has been making advances at me, I just don’t see myself accepting her, I know she has helped a lot in trying to comfort me, I still can’t see myself accepting her.
I came to Richard’s house for the family dinner I was invited to, their daughter just clock four and they are expecting another baby on the way.
“I thought you won’t make it”. Richard said immediately after I entered the house to see their marriage photo hung on the wall.
” Sorry, I stop by to get this”. I replied showing him a bottle of wine I bought.
“Is good you are here anyway”. Nina said arranging the dinner table with food.
” Where is my little princess?” I asked and just then I heard her speak from the staircase.
“Uncle Alex!”. She calls happily running towards me, I pick her up and caress her in my arms.” I miss you, uncle”.
“I miss you, my darling Princess”. I kissed her cheek and put her down.
” But I am angry with you”.She frowned turning her face away and I knew why she was angry.
“I know, I am sorry for not coming to your birthday party, I went out on a business trip, I promise to be present next year”.
” I am not buying that”. she said and her parents were staring at us.
“I know, you have every reason to be angry, that’s why I brought you something”. I said and she turned to me smiling.
” Really?”.She asked excitedly.
“Yes, but close your eyes first”. I said and she shut her eyes quickly. My driver came behind me and handed over the wrapped gift for me.” You can open them”. She opened her eyes and I gave her the gift.
“What’s this? is so big”.
” Why not see for yourself”.
She sat down and started to unwrap the gift, she was amazed to see a big pink teddy bear inside the box, she screamed excitedly and jumped on me.
“Thank you, Uncle Alex, I love it”.
” You are always welcome”. I put her down and caress her face.
“I love you, uncle, you are the best”.
” And I love you too my cute pretty Aurora”. I pick her up again and caress her into my arms. Her name always reminds me of my Aurora and I love her so much. Her parents named her after Aurora, and her presence always reminds me that my Aurora is alive somewhere.
“Enough for the chatting, the food is getting cold”. Richard said interrupting us and we pulled away from each other.
” Don’t be jealous Dad”.She said and we smiled.
“Don’t listen to him, he is jealous of our little love”. I said and we laughed.
” Yeah, yeah, now you two come on”. he said and we left for the dining table.

The next day, I was working at my desk when Elizabeth walked in.
“Hey, handsome”. She said as she sat in front of me with her legs crossed.
” Hey, what a surprise to see you here”. I said.”What can I offer you?”.
“Nothing, am fine”.
” Are you sure?”.
“Yes, I just miss you, that’s why I came to see you”. She said and I sighed.
” Elizabeth, let’s–“. She cut me short.
“No Alex, I know what you are going to say”. She sighs.” Why won’t you let go and move on”.
“I can’t “.
” Why not? is been years”.
“Is not that easy”.
“It’s, I love you Alex and you know that I have given you enough time for you to notice me, Aurora is dead and gone for good”.
“Don’t say that, she is not gone for good”.
” Then where is she?” she asked feeling upset.”She is six feet gone”.
“Will you just stop”. I sighed.”I know you have been an amazing person so far, but I am sorry I can’t bring myself to accept another woman in my life, not now or ever”.
” Alex!”. She stood up angrily.
“Is the truth Elizabeth, please respect my decision and find someone else, please”. I said and I could see the angry look on her face.
” I won’t give up on the love I have for you, I will wait even if I have to wait for eternity”. She said and walked away and I sighed after her.
“What a girl”. I said and I smiled at Aurora’s photo on my desk. ” Did you hear that wifey? But not to worry, you are the only one for me and I will never accept anyone in my life, I love you so much”. I said and then resumed my work.

After work hours, I drove to Aurora’s grandmother’s side to visit her. I bought an apartment for her to live in and I employed maids to take care of her.
“Is so good to see you again my son”. She said and hugged me.
” Thank you, granny, how have you been?”. I asked and we pulled away from each other arms and left for the dining table to have our dinner.
“Am fine, all thanks to you”. She said smiling.
” I am happy to hear that”. I said and took a scoop of the meal to my mouth.
“So, how is working treating you?”.
“It has been hectic”. I replied and we laughed.
After some minutes, we were done eating and we came to the living room.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”.
” Yes granny, did you make this?”.
“Yes, you said you were coming over, so I have to prepare something nice for you”.
” And I won’t lie, it was delicious”. I said and we laughed.
“I am so happy Aurora chose you”.
” No, granny, I am the happiest that I fell for her first, it has been an amazing moment with her, and will live with her memory until my heart stops beating for her….which means when I die”.
“Don’t say that, you won’t die, you still have a long life ahead of you”.
” Not without Aurora, this life has been boring and empty without her around, I am still living because I believe she is still alive”.
“Alex, I know you love my granddaughter so much, but it’s time to move on”.
” Not you granny, it’s not that easy, I can’t, my heart won’t accept it, please don’t be among those that are urging me to move on”.
“I am not urging you, I am just worried about you”.
” You don’t have to granny, I will be fine, I love Aurora so much, she is not just an ordinary girl to me, she is my wife, Even though we haven’t had our wedding to make it official, but we are legally married”.
“I am happy about that”.She said and we smiled at each other.

NARRATOR POV
Elizabeth was in the restroom getting pissed off about constant rejection from Alex, she decided to come to the restroom to avoid suspicion from the rest nurse.
” Why is he being so difficult, It has been years and he still hasn’t forgotten about her”. She sighed angrily. “I have not come this far to be ditched by him, I will have to do something for him to fall at my feet, I don’t mind sacrificing my life for it”. She said angrily and then phoned Spike. 📞 “Meet me today by seven pm at the hospital”. She said and hung up and then came out, but was stopped by one of the nurses.
👤” There you are, I was looking everywhere for you”.
“I was in the restroom, is there a problem?”. she asked.
👤” Not really, there is a patient in room six that needs to be attended to, Doctor Luke asked me to inform you to go check on the patient”
“Ok, thank you”. She walks away.
At the laboratory, Doctor Luke was going through the computer and then his eyes caught something on the computer as he was checking some old files on the computer.
” What’s this?”. He clicked on the files and it showed Aurora’s test result. “Aurora’s test result?”. He thought confusedly and clicked on the files and it appeared fully on the screen and he was shocked to see what the result said.
