So guys, excited about what happened to Larry and Stephen....

Ok I am not testing your patience.... Here it is.....

While all wild thoughts were coming in my mind...
I saw Stephen at the door, but he wasn't alone. He was with a guy.
I had seen that guy in Stephen's cabin in his office last month when I went there to pick Stephen for our movie.

I was quite shocked seeing him in my house coz according to me Stephen wasn't that close to him.

Stephen was drunk and was in Henry arm. He wasn't even able to balance properly. Thanks to Henry, as he was handling him.

"You are Clare right, Stephen's wife!?,"
Henry asked me doubtfully.

"Ye yes" , I replied.

"But where did you get Stephen."

"Actually he has been drinking all night. I didn't want to disturb you, hence I asked Stephan to stay at my place. But he wanted to talk to you. Hence I brought him here."

"In this condition..."

"Ya, actually yesterday he called me when he was in the bar and asked me to pick me up. I went there and he started crying. He was upset."

"So, you know everything...."

"Emmm, yes I know and I am really sorry for what happened."

"No it's ok, and why are you saying sorry..... You wasn't even present there... It's all my fault..."

"Yes, yes yes it's all your fault baby. It is no one else's fault but all yours." Stephen said. His eyes were filled with anger but his heart was crying.

I had never seen that side of Stephen. I was scared. I was scared by my own husband.

"Stephen..... What are you saying" , I replied.

"Me, as if you don't know, haa,......"

He came closer to me held my arms and asked me why Clare....... Why. He cried on my shoulder.

And suddenly pointing towards me he said to everyone present there that...

My wife, Clare, she is a murderer. She killed my baby.......I can't stay with a murderer. "

Hearing this, my heart cried. I couldn't control myself and slapped Stephen right in front of everyone.

" What do you think Stephen. Only you are feeling sad about losing our baby. Even I am upset. I know, it all happened because of me. I shouldn't have come there. I should have listened to you. But Stephen it was not in my hand. I already told you...."

"Oh.... Common Clare, everything was in your hand......
You always want to do what you like. You don't want to listen to anyone.
Everything in this house happens according to you."

"What are you saying Stephen....." .

"Oh now what am I saying...
Clare you wanted to go to Greece but I didn't. I said you that I have work but you didn't listen to me. Still for your sake of happiness. We went and what did we do there. We fought everyday. In fact we are fighting since our marriage. "

Hearing all this, Brent and Jenny were shocked. They were staring at me and Stephen.

" I never wanted them to find it out that we and Stephen fought almost everyday. Even when we were in Greece, whenever we used to fight and Jenny uses to call me to ask howz everything,I used to hide things and say that I and Stephen are enjoying in Greece."

But now Stephen spilled the beans.
Still I tried to control the situation coz if my uncle and aunt get to know about my married life they would be extremely unhappy.

" Stephen, look I understand that you are very upset and angry. You know we can talk later. You need rest. Let me take you to your room instead" .

"No na na,I don't need rest. I have had enough rest last night in Henry's house. I want answer Clare why did you do this to me. Why..???"

"I am sorry Stephen. I know it is all my fault. But you didn't see the other part that I saved Larry........"

"What, you saved Larry and is that why he is admitted in the hospital."

"What??"

My whole world turned.... I couldn't believe my ears. I wasn't successful at the thing for which all this stuff is happening,for which I lost my baby...

"You wanted to save Larry right, but you even failed at that. He had a internal injury in hus head which happened when you pushed him and he hit that pillar."

"You wanted to save him na,but then what did you do, because of you he is in comma...."

"No this cannot happen, this cannot happen..... I said...."

I ran to my room and locked myself up again..... I got dressed, I was wearing a purple full sleeve top and a ripped jeans, I took my purse tied my hair into a messy bun and unlocked the door. I came down and directly took my car and went to the hospital.

"Hello, this is Clare Zuckerberg. I wanted to meet Larry, I asked receptionist."

"Ma'am, you....?"

"Larry is a child from my orphanage..... Yesterday he was admitted. Could you please check and tell me in which ward is he..?"

"Yes, one sec.... He is in ward number 108."

"Where is it..."

"Go straight and turn left, there is ward number 108."

"Thanks.. "

"I walked to ward number 108 and stopped in front of the door. I wasn't able to open the door. My hands were shivering. But somehow I did it and entered the door. I could see Larry lying on the stretcher, his eyes were opened and had expressionless face."

" Sorry Larry.... I am extremely sorry..... This is all my fault..." I was talking to a body who wasn't even responding.

" Soon, doctors came for regular check up. "

" Hello doctor, how is he.. I mean any recovery.. "

" Oo Clare, how are you...? "

" I am not good.... Anyways you tell about him.. "

" Look Clare he is only 3 years old. He got an internal injury in his head. We did all the checkups and surgery. He is out of danger. Moreover he is small so the process of healing would be quicker. No need to worry. "

" But, when will he be out of comma."

"That cannot be predicted as it depends on how his body responds. But it shouldn't take much time.. "

"Thank you so much doctor.. Any medicines I need to buy."

"No no need. Your husband already bought it.."

"Okay.. "

~~~~~~~
I came from the hospital and entered my house, and saw Stephen was sitting on the couch eating nachos.

I walked inside and saw Brent and Jenny were not there.

Suddenly...

Clare, there is a note for you on the dining table,Stephen said

I got scared looked behind and it was Stephen eating nachos. He was so calm as if nothing happened.

I picked the note from the dining table and read.

Hey Clare, I know it's very difficult for you to handle this situation but only you can handle it. Sometimes it happens that you put your best efforts still things doesn't work according to you. But this is how life goes. You are strong girl and we know that you will sort it out....
We are leaving coz if we would stay here,things will get awkward..
Remember we love you.....

Tears came from my eyes. I turned and saw Stephen there with a knife in his hand. His eyes were reddish in colour. He was standing so close to me that even if I wanted to run I won't be able to.

So Clare........
