Cursed By Fate

Carl arrived at Laura’s house, feeling a mix of emotions. He was worried about her, but also felt a sense of responsibility to be there for her in her time of need. As he knocked on the door, it opened, and Laura stood before him, her eyes red and puffy from crying.

“Hey,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Hey,” Carl replied, stepping inside. “I’m so sorry about your loss, Laura. If there’s anything I can do…”

Laura shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “Just being here for me is enough, Carl. Thank you.”

Carl hugged her tightly, feeling a sense of comfort washed over her. They sat down on the couch, and Laura began to open up about her mother’s passing. ” She has been suffering from a terminal disease for a very long time . But being the strong woman that she , she was able to survive till this moment” Laura explained.

Carl listened intently, offering words of comfort and support.” I’m so sorry about that Laura, I know how hard it can be for you to lose someone so close to you ” Carl said .

As soon as Carl uttered that statement, he was reminded of his father and his mother . Even though his mother is not dead yet , she is as dead to him now until he goes back to save her from the hands of his wicked step brother.

” Are you okay carl ?” Laura asked when she noticed Carl was no longer there with her but he was lost in his thoughts.

” I’m fine Laura” Carl replied. ” So have you eaten anything yet ?”

” No , I haven’t yet, ” she replied. ” Who would have the appetite to eat in this kind of situation?” She asked.

” But you need strength to be able to go through this . You still have a long way to go ” Carl said .

” I know right ” Laura said as she rested her head on his shoulder . ” That’s why I have you here for me ” Laura said out of nowhere .

He was shocked by her actions. He smiled gently.

” Where is your kitchen?” Carl asked.

” Why did you ask?” Laura asked .

” I want to go and prepare a nice meal for you, ” he replied. ” You need it at this point” .

” Awwn , that is so sweet of you Carl , but do you need there is need for that . My friends are around so they can help with that ” Laura said .

” I insist ” Carl said.

” Okay if you insist” Laura said as she stood up and headed to the kitchen with Carl .

” So what would you like me to prepare for you ? ” Carl asked facing Laura .

” Anything you are good at will be fine by me ” she replied.

” Alright, then I will make you something delicious” Carl promised.

” I can wait” Laura said . Tears flowed down her chin .

” Laura , why are you crying” Carl asked after noticing she was crying.

” How I wish my mother was here with me ” Laura said using her hands to wipe her tears.

” It alright Laura , you will be fine. I will always stand by you ” Carl promised.

Carl knew she was faking every of her actions since he got to her place . Probably not to make him worried .

“yea , I’m fine thank you ” she said even when she wasn’t.

Carl prepared a delicious meal for her and forced her to eat .

As the night went on, Carl realized that he had never felt this way about anyone before. He was genuinely concerned for Laura’s well-being and wanted to be there for her every step of the way.

As they talked, Carl noticed that Laura’s friend, who had sent him the address, was sitting in the corner of the room, quietly observing their conversation. Carl felt a sense of gratitude towards this friend, who had helped Laura in her time of need.

As the night drew to a close, Carl knew he had to leave, but he promised Laura that he would be back the next day to check on her. Laura smiled weakly, and Carl could see the gratitude in her eyes.

” You need to rest now Laura ” Carl said .

“Sure I will ” Laura replied.

Carl decided to help her sleep since it wasn’t going to be easy for her to sleep.

After Carl tucked her to get some sleep, he went back to the living room where her friends are watching a TV show ” I will take my leave now ”

” Thank you very much sir , it was nice having you here “. Her friend thanked him .

” My pleasure and please just take care of her . When she wakes up just get her some freshly squeezed orange juice , she will be fine “. Carl said .

” Sure , I will “. She replied.

As he walked back to the bus station, Carl couldn’t help but think about how much his life had changed in the past few days. He had gone from being a lonely bartender to having a connection with someone who needed him. He felt a sense of purpose, and he knew that he would do anything to be there for Laura.

The next day, Carl returned to Laura’s house, bringing flowers and a listening ear. They talked for hours, and Carl learned more about Laura’s life, her mother, and her struggles. He felt a deep connection growing between them, and he knew that he was falling in love with her.

He was glad she was getting better. Carl got to realize that Laura was from a very rich background and since her parents were dead she is the owner of all the properties left behind.

As the days went by, Carl became a constant presence in Laura’s life. He helped her with errands, cooked meals for her, and listened to her stories. And as they spent more time together, Carl realized that he had never felt this way about anyone before. He was in love with Laura, and he knew that he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.

But how does he want to go about it ??
