Chapter 50: FOUR YEARS LATER

Was Dove scared? Yes, she was. She was actually very scared about everything that was coming for her. She was pregnant, and in such time she was also joining an university, along with that she would be taking care of her company’s branch. A huge responsibility, she had no idea how she was going to do it. All she knew was that she had to do that. And at time like this, Lisa who had known her for only a few months, she was ready to risk it all and come with her.

Dove pulled back from the hug, as she remembered something and looked at her before asking, "But what about your shoot? You had been giving auditions for many roles. You have even been selected for a few roles?"

Lisa noticed the moisture in Dove’s eyes, as she rubbed the tears in her eyes and said, "Hey, Dove, why is the need to cry. And about those roles? Hihi, I will just come back during the shoots. I know it is going to be a little hectic, but I am sure, not as tiring as what you are going to face."

Dove’s lips quivered, and she hugged her again, and said, "I will be indebted to you for this." Hearing her, Lisa chuckled and she rubbed her back and said, "Be my true friend, and all your debts are paid off."

And at that moment, Dove knew that, she is never letting go of this girl.

***

Four years passed by.

In those four years, life hadn’t been easy for Dove. And the term, ’hectic’ would be an understatement for whatever she was going through. New place, new struggles, new problems, new people and a new life.

In front of the Sterling Corporations International Branch, an expensive car came to an halt , and a beautiful feet stepped out of there, cladded in a fancy heeled sandal. And then alighted a beautiful girl, wearing a semi casual attire, and had her shades on.

Lisa raised her sunglasses on top of her head, and strutted inside the building after passing the keys to the guard to park her car properly.

Going to the top floor of the building, she reached Dove’s office. And without knocking, as if, it was her usual, Lisa pushed the door, with the plate ’Managing Director’. And the next second, her cheerful voice echoed in the peachful room, "Dove~ I am here!"

Dove, who was currently behind her desk working on some papers raised her head to look at Lisa’s bright face, and she smiled. In all this years, Dove, who was already so beautiful to begin with, she had some changes positively, thanks to time passing and her pregnancy too. She had the airs of a beautiful and mature woman.

Lisa gasped a little dramatically and she put her hand on her chest and said, "Oh my! My Love, how do you always manage to stun me with your beauty every single day when ever we meet? That is basically everyday, except for a few days that I go back to the country for shoots."

Dove chuckled and shook her head before saying, "Come on, Lisa." She always had something cheesy to say every time. Lisa laughed as she came to sit in front of Dove and looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Dove, you can’t even imagine, how much grateful I am, that you aren’t in the entertainment industry, really! Or else, only God knows, that you would have eaten up my career already."

Dove looked at the seriousness on the beautiful Lisa’s face, and she couldn’t help but laugh. "That was a very big compliment coming from a star like you, my dear."

That was right, in the last four years, Lisa’s career in the entertainment industry had also reached a high. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration, if one were to say that she was one of the fastest rising young stars in the entertainment industry.

Lisa smiled ear to ear, as she reached for something in her bag, and then took out took scrolls from her bag and handed one to Dove and said, "Here, this is your graduation certificate." And shaking the one in her hand, she said, "And this one is mine."

Dove smiled, dimples falling on both her cheeks, and she then started opening the scroll. Looking at her, Lisa rolled her eyes, and said, "What is even there to look at, you have topped this year too. Isn’t it obvious?"

Dove laughed and shook her head, before saying, "Still, at least I deserve to look at my graduation certificate." Lisa smiled and then looked to open hers to. While, Dove had studied and got a degree in business. Lisa, she too had joined the same university, taking a degree in Arts and performance. Lisa too studied her graduation certificate with a satisfied smiled and nodded her head.

Dove’s eyes skimmed through her certificate before she rolled it back to keep it away. Lisa propped her head on her hands, keeping it own the desk, and blinked her eyes, asking, "So, Dove are you sure you are not going to the graduation ceremony?"

Dove chuckled and she said, "Lisa, you have already brought over the graduation certificates. Now what need is left to go over to that ceremony?"

Lisa nodded her head and shrugged, "Well, that’s what it is. But the Principal asked me that. And told me that if you change your mind, it would be better." To which, Dove simply shrugged and said, "I don’t think there is any need for that. And moreover, the reason, I requested of an early receiving of these certificates is because my schedule for that day is very much packed. I have a very important meeting in the morning, which would go on till noon.

And I had also promised Gavi, that I would spend the rest of the day with him. Either ways, I don’t really used to go to university a lot, so it shouldn’t matter a lot. And I don’t think I will be able to make it with peace."

Lisa nodded her head with a small pout. And seeing her like that, Dove blinked her eyes and said, "But that doesn’t stop you from not going. You can always go there." Lisa huffed and pressed her lips together, "Huh, and what am I going to do? Who do I even know in that university except you? I don’t even think I attended enough classes, thanks to my shoot. That is the reason I took your privilege and brought my certificate too."

Then Lisa’s face brightened up and she said, "Well, I was thinking that how nice of sitting on this chair, isn’t it? And having connections? You did not even have to attend the graduation ceremony."

Dove chuckled a little and keeping the file that she was working on aside, and she too propped her chin on her hands and said, "Hm, if you put it like that, then having power does have some perks."

Both of the girls, facing each other chuckled. As both of them knew first hand how much Dove had strived to be in that position. What they had to go through and see through to reach this position, that they were in today.

Lisa then smiled and then rubbing her tummy, she said, "Well, did you have something to eat? You know after landing here, the first thing that I did was go and collect these. And doing all this while, I did not have even one morsel of food. Drawer opened one drawer of her desk and took out a small lunch box before passing it to Lisa and said, "Here." Lisa happily opened the box to find the homemade sandwiches made and sent by the chefs in their house. And she took a big bite before relishing it.

"Fills so nice to finally give my stomach a good food." She munched happily before looking at Dove and said, "By the way, Dove where is Gavi? I don’t see that little demon around."

Dove smiled and said, "Oh, he was playing earlier, then he got tired and fell asleep. Currently, he is in the room sleeping." Dove pointed towards the room attached to the office. To which, Lisa glanced at the area before nodding her head.

But just then, the door opened and a small body walked out of the room, rubbing his drowsy and sleepy eyes with one of his little arms. And with the other hand, he was dragging a pillow, into the office. "Momma..." His soft milky voice called out softly. And looking at him, Dove’s smile stretched a little before she stood up from her desk, going to him and picked the little cute looking muchkin in her arms. "Did you have a good nap, baby?" The little three years boy opened his big round eyes peeking at his mother, before he snuggled his head on the crook of her neck.
