" Bye…" she said, looking at Martin with hurtful eyes.
" Emily….Please forgive my friend's words. If he knew about your kind heart, he would never speak with you harshly" Katherine said.
" I wish he would understand…." She said with tear-filled eyes and turned away hiding her tears. When she was walking away, Katherine stopped her by calling her name.
" Emily...have some snacks with us. Please…." She requested.
Martin was watching them silently. " Why can't she let her go! " He thought.
" Let her go. Why are you pleading with her! " Martin asked her. Kathie glared at him and asked him to be silent for a while.
" It's okay. I will come some other time…" she replied, controlling her emotions. For that, Katherine said, " If you dare to leave without having snacks, I think you don't think of me as your friend"
Emily stopped walking and closed her eyes. She was not in a condition to share her pain with anyone. She wanted to leave the place as early as possible but she could not ignore Kathie's plea.
" Emily….please…" she repeated.
" Fine. If you insist, I will stay, " she finally agreed to Katherine. To her reply, Katherine smiled and asked Martin to join them. On the other side, Martin was feeling fazed with her presence but he remained silent for his best friend.
….
Katherine and Emily walked together inside the home, Martin followed them silently. When they entered inside, they noticed Sam having his snacks along with his granny. Emily sat beside them whereas Martin followed Katherine to the kitchen.
" Kathie...I don't want you to be close with her. She is as dangerous as her father. What if she plots a plan against you like her father! " He questioned.
" If she wanted to separate me from Adrian then she never helped in getting married to Adrian. In my wedding shopping or the wedding ceremony, she stood beside me. She supported me and wished us to be happy. How could you accuse her? Do you even imagine how she could face society after Adrian broke an engagement with her?" She questioned him back.
" Maybe she is a wolf in sheep's clothing!! " He doubted.
" Stop it. . Martin. What do you know about her? I worked with her for almost five years. Did you know she was the person who admitted me to the hospital when I was sick during my pregnancy? " She yelled at him seriously.
Martin became silent when she told them that she was the one who admitted her to the hospital.
" Please...don't be overprotective about me. I knew you love me so much but it doesn't mean that you accuse her due to her father. " She tried to explain her point.
" Okay…. Princess. If you say confidently then I will agree with you.." he said, hugging her. Katherine smiled and said, " I want you to be friendly with her. She is just our Ruby, so cute and so kind "
" We will see. First, feed me something, I am so hungry." He changed the topic so cleverly.
After spending some time, Martin informed Kathie that he wanted to go home as he needed to pack his luggage.
" Emily...you are also going in the same way, right! Why don't you drop him in your car! " Kathie asked.
" No….need, I will go by myself. I don't want her help " he denied, looking at Emily.
" Come on...boy….She is such a kind girl. Why can't you go with her! Maria suggested to him. " Apart from reading and writing novels, spend some time with people around you`` Maria teased.
" You are exactly right!! He is always busy with his work. He only talk with the three of us when we used to live together. " Kathie also supported her mother-in-law.
" If he doesn't want to come with me, it's okay. Don't force him…" Emily interrupted.
" Why doesn't he come with you? Huh!! If you are a friend to me then you are a friend to him! " Kathie said, glaring at him.
" Okay. If you want to go with her. I will go, don't create a big scene now ...." He said, raising both his hands in the air.
Before walking out of the home, she took leave from Maria. Maria blessed him to have a bright future in his profession. Then he kissed little Sam and lifted in his arms. Lastly, he hugged Katherine while bidding bye. She felt so emotional when he hugged her. She started crying like a small kid because he was the only one who supported her and protected her like a father, friend, and brother.
" Stop crying…. Princess. I will come to visit you after two months " he consoled her, wiping tears on her face.
" All the best…" she wished him, whereas Emily was silently watching the strong bonding of friends.
…
Emily and Martin sat in the car and she ignited the engine. She was driving the car slowly. But he wanted to get down the car as soon as possible.
" Can't you drive fast! " He asked her impatiently.
She looked at his serious face and answered, " I want to spend some time with you. If I drive fast, you will get down from the car "
" I don't want to see your face…" he said, fuming in anger.
" I know that you hate me. But please spend some time with me. I won't disturb you again " she pleaded.
" Miss. Green. I don't want either to hear your voice or see your face, " he said, gritting his teeth.
She drove the car in silence and finally, she stopped the car at his home. He wanted to get down the car but she didn't unlock the door.
" Miss. Green...unlock the door," he said in an irritated tone. She stared at him but did not unlock the door. He again asked, Emily....unlock….the door"
Still, she didn't unlock the door while staring at him. This time he shouted, " Em...unlock the door. Don't make me irritate"
Instead of unlocking the door, she turned towards him and fisted his shirt then sealed his lips with her kiss.
