Amelia's POV.

I was standing in front of the two most important people of my life. Who held a great importance in my life.

Those old pair of eyes looking right back with the same amount of shock . Tears were glistening in my eyes. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I was so into the shock that I didn't notice that Harold took a step towards me. Mary was still standing there as surprised as me .

"Ami" the moment I heard him say my name tears rolled down my cheeks.
I ran towards him and ignored the confused faces around me.

I hugged my old lad so tightly wrapping my arms around his waist so tight afraid of losing him again.

"I missed you , I missed you so much" I said my face still buried in his white shirt staining it with my tears.

" we missed you too . I can't tell you how much we tried to find you " Harold said .

"I'm sorry , I'm sorry for leaving like that" I said still crying.

Memories rushing back in my mind how i was made to leave them. I still couldn't imagine what they felt when I didn't show up.

Suddenly Harold stepped back . His hands still holding my shoulders on arm length. His eyes stared right into mine. Which held thousands of questions which I was afraid to even think.

"You silly girl where did you vanish. Do you even know how much I was distraught about you" . I didn't know how to answer him.

"I'm sorry , I'm so sorry I didn't mean all this to happen" we embraced each other once again, when I felt soft hands brushing my shoulders which made me turn around.

Mary was standing there with a small smile plastered on her face. Tears were streaming down her face like me.

"Mary , How are you" I said making myself free from old man's grip and holding Mary's hand in mine.

I remember how she was fighting with cancer when I met her.

Past time.

It was raining heavily and the roads were nearly blocked due to the storm. I was rushing to go to home in my car.

The road was clear because of the short cut I chose so that I stay out of trouble. I was busy driving, when I saw an old man standing near a car at the right side of road.

He seemed overly worried. I saw the bonnet of the car was opened , which clearly told me he was facing car troubles.

I stopped my car and went to him.

"Can I help you in any way, is everything alright?" I asked him . We both were overly drenched by now.

"Please help me. My wife is having cancer. We have to reach hospital as soon as possible but my car just stopped " I cut him off from what he was saying getting the idea of what was the problem.
