Tales Of Love

At the close of the office, Mia called Aurora. She asked how she’s faring and asked if she’s back with Santiago? After she heard Aurora’s reply, she told her to come straight to the hospital, that her great-grandfather’s health is deteriorating.

When Aurora hung up? She felt depressed. Her great-grandfather had become severely ill and couldn’t get out of his room. Often her uncle Mile passes food into his stomach using the nasal gastric tube. She had the fear of losing him. He’s Such a nice man and has a great sense of humor.

When she was done and about to leave, her cell phone chirped. Checking the caller ID, she smiled and clicked on the green button. “Hey babe, I am waiting to drive you home,” Santiago said.

Aurora joined Santiago in his car. When Santiago saw her, he knew she was not happy. “What’s the matter?” he asked.” My great grandfather is very ill and he’s in the hospital. Can you just drive me to Rowan’s medical center?” Aurora asked.

Rowan’s medical center is a large health institute with different departments. It’s one of the largest hospitals in St Petersburg. From its name, one can depict who the owners are.

“Ok” Santiago answered and sped off in the direction of the hospital. They both were quiet except for Santiago’s occasional glances at Aurora. He was imagining if Aurora was truly sitting there beside him or he was dreaming? Aurora was back, back into his life and he felt the happiness he had lost a long time ago. Once Aurora’s family accepts him, he will propose marriage to her.

“Santiago” Aurora’s call brought him back to his senses. He turned and glanced at her “Mm….. mm” he grunted.

But Aurora did not say anything for a long time until he approached a pharmacy store “Halt” Aurora instructed.

Santiago did exactly as Aurora instructed and asked “What?”. “I want to get some drugs from the pharmacy”. Aurora replied, avoiding Santiago’s gaze.

“What for?” Santiago asked flippantly. Isn’t her great grandfather in the hospital and that’s where they were heading. What else does she need drugs for?

“I just want to get drugs” Aurora reaffirms her earlier statement. How was she Supposed to tell him that she was going to get contraceptives? She suspected that Santiago had her last night, but was not Sure. But to be on a safer side, she wants to take some pills.

When Santiago stared at Aurora intently, he guessed at once. Aurora probably wants to get a contraceptive. He chuckled, “Don’t you believe me anymore, I didn’t do anything to you.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

No kisses, no sex, nothing. You have nothing to be worried about. I simply watched over you all night until I dozed off”

Santiago always predicts her thoughts. And even at this moment, he still does. But why wasn’t he able to read her mind that day at his grandfather’s birthday party?

“How did you know what I am going to get?” Aurora asked out of tradition. It’s a question she often asked back then before things fell apart.

“I don’t know, but I can always guess your thoughts. The only time I didn’t or was too clouded-minded to read you was what led to our falling apart” Santiago answered triumphantly. He felt happy that Aurora was Surprised at his initial statement.

“Are you Sure Santiago?” Aurora asked. Aurora’s question left a grin on Santiago’s chin. Aurora makes him remembers the past when they have sex and he always insisted on not using a protection.

Actually, he had wanted Aurora to get pregnant to use the pregnancy as a cheese in his hand to silence his Axel family from refusing Aurora. When he expected Aurora to be pregnant, what he heard instead was that she had an abortion. That was what made him mad with her.

“Yes, absolutely. I want us to get together again first, be certain that you have forgiven me and be sure you still love me ” Santiago said and chuckled.

Aurora eyed him jokingly as Santiago kissed her chin before driving off.

They arrived at the hospital and Aurora led the way to the private ward. Santiago simply followed behind. As they got to the door of the ward, they saw Mile in company of another doctor coming out of the private ward.

Mile paused at the sight of the handsome and well built man accompanying Aurora. He knew at once that he was the renowned President of the Axel group.

The guy was much more handsome than he had imagined. He has a chilling aura wherever he goes and makes people naturally accord him respect. He talked in a hushed voice and the other doctor gave a nod before hurrying along.

“Aurora” Mile called, giving her a scrutinizing look. His niece was almost caught up in a scandal. The thought of which gave every member of the Rowan family an uncomfortable feeling.

“Hey Uncle” Aurora greeted, giving him a hug. Mile patted her back and asked “Are you ok?” “I am fine,” Aurora replied.

Mile stared at the cold faced man whose hands were in his pants pocket. He was waiting for Aurora to be through with her uncle before saying a ‘hi’ to him.

He had researched and knew that Aurora had two maternal uncles. The eldest a medical doctor and the other a lieutenant. He knew that this man was a medical doctor at once.

Refraining from the embrace, Aurora looked at her uncle and then at Santiago. She wanted to introduce them to each other but…
