The Undead Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Ruby Thomas

What?

I was puzzled at his sentence

Larry Gaze

I mean you should start looking ahead in life...

I hold her in my embrace and told her firmly.

Larry Gaze

Ruby, please forget James, now. He is dead, now. Accept this fact.

I said by caressing her cheeks but Ruby's expression suddenly changed.

Ruby's eyes watered once again with this emotional saline liquid which I couldn't understand why she's being like this again. Can't she accept the fact.... Why is she so emotionally sensitive?

Ruby Thomas

(With teary eyes) You .. could ..never understand my pain ... Larry. (taking pause) James is not only my love of my life but he is my life .... I could never get over him.

At this point , I was again left in disappointments.... I could no longer utter any words but .... said those three words which every helpless man told a woman in these types of situations.

Larry Gaze

I am very sorry... Ruby.. please don't cry.. I don't intend to make you cry.

Ruby Thomas

I won't attend today's college today. So you should go to your office alone. I am not well..

Author pov-: Larry is the successor of his father's company. While Ruby is still in her college completing her post graduation studies.. Her college lies in City area... So, Larry usually comes to pick her and give a lift to college while he goes to his office.

Larry Gaze

Ok then... take care.

Ruby goes to church to make her feel better after this harsh morning.

Mary Machew

Are you going, Larry?

Larry Gaze

Yes.

Mary Machew

Where is Ruby? Did she skipped her college again, and went to that old church?

Larry Gaze

Yes... I think so.

Mary Machew

This girl... she's completely lost...(worried tone)

But I won't take this any longer... She has to believe that James won't be coming back.

Mary Machew

Larry... I want to talk to you for a moment. Could you spare me some minutes.

Larry Gaze

Sure, Aunt.

Mary Machew

it's about Ruby.

Mary Machew

I don't know how should I say... but think this of as a last favour.

My voice collided this moment but I gathered courage and spoke out.

Mary Machew

Marry Ruby.

Larry Gaze

WHAT?

Author pov- His eyes enlaged in astonishment at Mrs. Marry proposal for Ruby.. While Marry was waiting for his answer adamantly because she could no longer see that little girl ruining her life because of her dead son.
