Can Love Happens Twice

Love Stories

Henry's POV

Jo is back after what felt like years. Her uncle is totally fine. She wanted to be part of Judson Christi anniversary celebration. She reached around noon. She looked very tired.

"It felt as if it's been years, I missed you both" I hugged Jo as soon as we reached home

She smiled

"I'm sleepy" she said going to room

I made her eat lunch and tucked in bed

"It's good to have you back, I couldn't sleep in this room. All these days I was crashing at Jason's. Thank god you are back otherwise he would have kicked me out for sulking all the time" I kisssed her forehead

I touched her tummy. I missed my baby so much, that feel

"Love you little one" I said kissing her tummy and left the room

Evening we got ready and went to the party

"Happy anniversary" me and Jo wished the couple

"Did you come together?" Kathy asked

"Yes, Josna's car was in service. Jason was supposed to pick her but he asked me to pick her because you were taking forever to get ready" I replied

That shut her mouth

"Hi Kathy, how are you? It's been so long" Jo asked

"I'm good, I see that you are back, thought you left for good. Didn't even bother to inform before leaving"

"My Pa had heart attack, didn't think of anything else and I was busy with the mess on the office and I had to go back" Jo said

Everyone fell silent awkwardly

"Let's cut the cake" Jo said breaking the silence

Dinner is delicious

"Tenth anniversary? Wow! You been together for that long" Kathy said suddenly as if she is learning now. Don't know what drama she is about to start

"They have been together since middle school. Christi never considered medical field but chose for Judson" Jason said proudly

"Wow! That's something. Falling in love, getting married after knowing each other. We are blessed to be born in this country. Our parents don't restrict. I guess Josna can't love anyone" Kathy said

I can't believe she is doing this

"Why can't she love anyone" I asked

"You don't know Indians, they are very conservative orthodox. They consider love marriage taboo" she said as if she knows better

"How do you know?" I asked

"Look at Jo, she's never been in relation. I'm sure there are no love marriages in her family" she said confidently

"My grandparents and parents was love marriage. It's like magic. I see that love in their eyes even now. My grandma died 10 years back. He feels her presence even now. 

Everyone in my family tease my parents as if they are newly wed. My mom's face will be like tomato always blushed. That's why mom's nickname is tomato. Everyone asks mom for tips how to keep husband in grip. Mom says, don't try to hold anyone. Respect, trust and love is what binds two people with unbreakable thread " Jo said in trance

Wow! Mom is amazing. Simple philosophy but powerful

"Really? That's wonderful. I want to know their love story" Christi asked excitedly
