Remember Our Love

Jessie returned to her house to hear her parents shouting at each other. Sighing Jessie went straight to her room shutting and locking her door. Jessie just got her examination reports and she didn't score well in her examinations. Gaining her confidence she went straight to her parents, they were watching television. "I got my examination reports," said Jessie "I see, give it to me," said her father. She handed her reports to her father. After seeing her reports they were glaring at her. "B+?! Are you dumb or what?! Why can't you score well? You are such a problematic child?!" said her father. "You are such a disgrace to our family. I wish I never had you. Why can't you be like your sister Lia? She is a well-mannered, Intelligent child. And look at you, huh!" said her mother. "I am sorry." that's all Jessie could say. Lowering her head she went straight to her room. She closed her door and sat down on the bed sobbing hard. "Why can't they accept the way I am"? "I wish I could die now". That is all that she thought and slowly drifted to sleep. The following day, she woke up with red and swollen eyes. She took a deep breath and smiled as if nothing happened. She went to her school without eating something. She went and saw her best friend Ivan. "Hey Jessie! You seem down today," said Ivan. "Nothing much, I am just tired," said Jessie with a little forced smile. "Are you sure? Like if you are tired you can go home?" Ivan said with an ensuring face. "There is no problem, Ivan, let's go we are late". Said Jessie with the same face. 

Jessie was walking down the street when she saw her boyfriend James walking with her sister Lia hand in hand. She walked to them. "James? What are you doing with my sister? And Lia what are you doing here? With him?" asked Jessie with a questionable face. "What? I am waking up with my girlfriend." Said, James. "GIRLFRIEND?! B-but you are my boyfriend right?" said Jessie "I WAS. Not now… Who would be the boyfriend of a dumb girl." Said James with a scoffing face. "How dare you? You cheated on me James with my sister… And Lia? How could you do this to me?" said Jessie "As I care, also he is mine now. Let's go, James," Said Lia walking away and leaving Jessie broken and all alone. Jessie became numb and just walked to her house. The following day, Ivan saw Jessie numb and cold ."Jess, What happened? Why are you like this? Did anything happen? Did James say something to you?" said, Ivan. Finally, Jessie broke down and told him how James broke up with her. He tried to console her and slowly she forgot about him. 

But this happiness didn't last for long. One day when Jessie was studying for her examinations she was having seizures and acute headaches so she decided to go for a checkup. Jessie was sitting on the seat in front of the doctor. The doctor sharply sighed and said "Umm… You have a brain tumour" Jessie was shocked and asked, "It can be cured right?". "At this stage, it can't be. In the early stages, it could have been." Said the doctor. "So I am gonna die?" Said Jessie with a broken voice. "Maybe and maybe not, Miss Jessie we will try our best to save you. Don't be sad and have faith in yourself." said the doctor. "I-I will try. Thank you, doctor," said Jessie with a forced smile.

At this moment, Jessie didn't know what to do. She wanted to tell Ivan so badly but again she didn't want to hurt him. So, she calls Ivan and tells him that she wants to spend some time with him because she knew that she can die at any time. Jessie used to stick with Ivan so much. Ivan knew that something is wrong with Jessie. He tried to ask her but she would just ignore his questions. One day, Jessie was sick and stayed at his house. He brought some flowers on the way back home. But his joy didn't last for long. What he saw made him utterly shocked. He saw Jessie lying on the mat lifeless. 

Jessie woke up in the hospital, and she saw Ivan crying. "Ivan" She called him. "Jessie! Why didn't you tell me," said Ivan crying. "Tell you what? That I am going to die? ha! I am not that heartless'' said Jessie. "You are crazy," said Ivan. "Ivan… Thank you so much. You were always there for me to support me. Is it life or A mess? Also before dying, I want to say I love you" said Jessie with a tired smile. He hugged her and said "I love you too" and this was the last time she heard him and died. After 20 minutes, Lia, James and her parents came. " S-she died?" asked Lia.

 "You took the life of your own loved one," Said Ivan crying his heart out…

Now, it had been 2 years since Jessie died. He sighed remembering all their memories and decided to move out. He packed his bags and decided on 6 o'clock would go. He decided to take a last little tour of England. He was walking and stood on the roadside. When he saw a girl running. He was confused for a second as he thought that she resembled Jessie. Ivan shrugged the thoughts off. And the same day he took his flight and went to Canada. 

On his first day, he walked into his office and all the people greeted him. He then saw the same girl as before working on her PC. He asked her name. "Good morning sir, my name is Stephanie," said the girl. He was shocked because this was the name Jessie wanted to name her daughter if she had any. Confused, Ivan then hummed and went inside his office.

The next day, Ivan asked Stephanie to prepare a presentation on the new product they had been working on. " Miss Stephanie, I would like you to prepare the presentation on the products we have made till now," said Ivan "sure sir. Is there any specific date?" Asked Stephanie. " Next week," said Ivan " Okay sir. Thank you for choosing me," said Stephanie. The next week Stephanie presented the projects amazingly. Ivan was surprised at how confidently Stephanie spoke just like Jessie. Ivan praised Stephanie and made her his secretary.

Day by day Stephanie and Ivan's relationship started to grow more than a boss and an employee. They started hanging out more often. " Sir, can we meet at Lionbridge?" Asked Stephanie  " Didn't I say to not call me sir?" said Ivan with a cute angry face. "I am sorry sir..." Stephanie said with a teasing face. " Whatever miss Stephanie  met me today at 6 o'clock on the Lionbridge," said Ivan" Okay sir," said Stephanie 

Now he was standing in front of a bridge waiting for Stephanie and it suddenly started snowing. He was amazed by the beauty of the snow. He then remembered Jessie once said " I love snow, whenever you will remember me it will snow and if you will remember this message then I will come to you" remembering this he sighed. 

Suddenly he heard a voice screaming " I came, love". He heard Stephanie's voice. He turned around and saw Stephanie standing but Ivan knew it was not Stephanie because she called him Sir or Mr Lee. She ran to him and said, "I came for you, love." 

"I CAME" she screamed happily

And crying Ivan hugged her...

Ivan and Stephanie were cuddling. When Ivan asked, " how did you remember me now love?" "It's the power of love," said Stephanie...

Stephanie and Ivan's life was going fantastic. Until one day... Ivan heard Stephanie speaking on her phone with her friend Lily. Since he was curious he went.

"How long will you keep telling lies to Ivan, Stephanie," said Stephanie's friend Lily  "What lies??" Ivan thought... "I-I don't know, I love Ivan soo much. But I can't tell him that I am not Jessie.." Stephanie said. "What!!! Did she tell me a lie? " Ivan thought furiously... "Ahhh... It's already 7:30, I need to go... Ivan would be waiting for me..will call you later Lily bye" said Stephanie. "Yeah… okay bye," said Lily. Ending the call Stephanie turned around and saw Ivan. She got so shocked and asked, "I-Ivan when did you come?" "Just a few minutes ago, why? Asked Ivan "Oh… nothing… uh let's go," said Stephanie who was scared. "Yeah let's go," said Ivan unbothered…

Sitting in the car, Stephanie thought "Did he hear everything I said?? Should I ask him?" at the same time Ivan also thought "Let me see, how long will she stop telling me lies".... Suddenly Ivan started his car scaring Stephanie and asked her "Are you, okay love??".... "Yeah absolutely f-fine" said Stephanie. "Okay, then let's go hmmm," Said Ivan "Yeah…" said Stephanie. After a few minutes, they reached Stephanie's house... Stephanie was confused and asked, "Ivan, why we are here?" hearing this Ivan said "Love, pack your thing we are moving to my house" "B-but why so suddenly," asked Stephanie... "It's not a sudden decision love, I have thought for a while now… So let's go hmm," said Ivan while grabbing Stephanie's shoulder gently. "Okay?? I guess," said Stephanie confusingly… 

Stephanie and Ivan reached his house. Stephanie was amazed by the beauty… suddenly Ivan spoke "Love, let's promise that we will never keep secrets from each other. Before entering this house, I want you to be happy"... Suddenly Stephanie thought "Oh no does he know about me?? Oh shoot!" clearing her thoughts she said "Uh.. no Ivan I have no secrets.. I swear" "You sure?" asked Ivan "Yeah" Stephanie replied hesitantly. "Then, let's go and start a new life," said Ivan… 

Time skips to 1 week. Ivan and Stephanie went on a little date... "Love?" asked Ivan. "Hmm?" hummed Stephanie. "Isn't he James?" asked Ivan while pointing at a guy "who is James?" asked Stephanie while being confused "Your Ex-boyfriend who cheated on you with your sister Lia… you don't remember??" asked Ivan. "Uhhh… nope" said Stephanie hesitantly "oh" replied. Suddenly a girl came straight up to Ivan and Stephanie's table and said angrily "Love? Are you cheating on me? Who is she and what is she doing with you?" Seeing this Stephanie became confused "Who is this love?". "I don't know you miss. What are you saying?" said Ivan calmly. "Huh! You don't remember me? I am Lily.. you asked me out a week before" "But miss I don't even know you then how i am supposed to ask you out also I am here with my girlfriend" said Ivan gently as he could. "Ïvan, I didn't expect this from you. I AM LEAVING!" said Stephanie being angry. She took her purse, paid the bill and left… Ivan ran after her only to see a horrific image, in front of his eyes was a truck which hit Stephanie and there was blood all over the road. He ran over to her and took her head onto his lap and cried… "Why god why? WHY you took her from me? First Jessie and now Stephanie" said Ivan crying his.s heart out. "Ivan, I love you" said half-dead Stephanie
