"okay then ,tell me everything from the time I went back, I wil help you to remember!" Esther said looking straight to his eyes.
"I feel sleepy" Jonathan said turning his eye away from Esther. Esther knew he was hiding something from her. If he is not ready she won’t push him. She band aided his finger and start reading the newly picked Nov for him.
While she was reading , Jonathan kept on looking at her face and give out a small smile. "Esther..."
Hearing his calm voice Esther kept the book down and stared at him with a confused look. "One day you will find a person who is going to protect you from everything....
You will confide in him and will live a wonderful life..... I wish i live lots of years....so that I could see your wedding....your kids...and your happiness...!"
"What happened Grandpa? Why are you being so emotional today? Is there something bothering you? Look at me ,your Esther is all fine and good. She is always happy..." Esther passed her beautiful and warm smile to him.
"I wish my Grand son was good! But he is such an evil person...or I would have surely made him marry you...! But unfortunately he is not a good person....!" Jonathan continued. "You shouldn’t be too sad when I goes away from you, I had lot of good memories with you...if you ask me what’s my best moments after my wife’s death, it’ll be the moments with you dear ..."
"Where are you going?" Esther asked. She was kinda worried about him. He has been blabbering all emotional talks out of no where. He was okay till yesterday. "Grandpa I know there is something bothering you...you shouldn’t keep everything to yourself...come on talk to me , whatever your problem is...there surely be a way to get out from them...!" Esther said. Her eyes were now welled up.
"and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."
(Ecclesiastes 12:7)
Jonathan said with his eyes closed.
"Grandpa you are making me scared...atop saying Bible verse and tell me...please...!" Esther literally begged.
"Esther , hear me out...when one person exists from your life another person enters into its space. The new comer can be a bad or good...but he or she is entering into your life to teach you something...And I hope ... You would have studied from me too....
And I want you to deliver this message to William....tell him that I have forgiven him...and also to stop sending letters....And Esther... don’t ask me anything....can you please read the novel which my wife loves the most?" He asked. His eyes showered lot of emotions. It was like he was forcing himself from something.
Esther nodded and went to take the novel named "Loving you " She had read it for him for more than 5 times. He was waiting for her. Esther then started reading.
