EPISODE FIVE
Antara
Mira and Eva came back later in the evening and we ate together before retiring to the living room while mom retired to her bedroom to sleep.
“Antara, I don’t know how you want to take this news because I don’t know maybe it’s a bad news or good news”
“Okay, is there a problem?”I asked curiously and she sighed.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to find a lucrative job for you here in Manila, the one I found was in India”
“India?”
“Yes, at the palace, I really tried my best in finding a convinent job for you but I couldn’t, although I found some jobs which they pay well but they aren’t good for you, I’m so sorry”
“It’s fine sis, at least you tried your best”
“But can’t you try more sister?”Eva asked sadly and she shook her head.
“When I going back to India?”
“Tomorrow’s evening”
“Okay”
“You ought to have tried more”Eva said stubbornly and hurried out of the room.
I think the news doesn’t go down well on her.
Mira sighed watching her walk away before turning back to me.
“I’ll talk to her don’t worry”
“Thanks Antara”
“You’re welcome sis”
Eva
I curled myself crying slowly on the bed.
Why does she have to go?
I knew the stress I went through before I was able to cajole Mira to let her come with us.
I am going to feel so lonely without her.
The door opened slowly and I knew it’s Antara, I shut my eyes tight pretending to sleep and slowly, I felt her come to bed and she touch my waist.
“Eva”She called.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hmmm”I hummed faking a sleepy voice and she sighed.
“I knew you’re not sleeping Eva, I know that”
“Fine I’m not sleeping”I snapped sitting up on the bed.
“I’m so sorry Eva, it wasn’t my fault…”
“It’s no one’s fault”I cut her off and she stare at me for a while.
She pull me into a hug and I cried in her chest.
“I will miss you greatly Antara”
“I’ll miss you too”
Antara
The next day.

Eva help me carry my bag to the car and the guy whom I later knew his name to be John collected it from her immediately amd drop it inside the car.
Eva came to me and hug me passionately rubbing my back.
“I’ll miss you”
“I’ll miss you too”She cooed rubbing my back.
“Can you let her go please, time isn’t by our side”John pleaded and we pull away from the hug.
“I’ll give you a call okay”
“Okay Antara”
“Bye Mum”
“Bye Antara”The chorused waving back at me and I step into the car.
John ignite and car and drove away.

I walk into the palace levelly and Mom was the first person to welcome me.
She hug me tightly almost taking my breath away and I smiled.
“I miss you so much Alan, I’m glad you came back”
“I miss you too mum”I cooed and she peck my cheeks.

“He’s taking his afternoon rest but will wake up anytime soon”
