With Love, xxxx. by Varshitha Kancharla (best adventure books to read .txt) 📗

Kathleen’s mother gulped listening to her. She felt sad when Kathleen talked to her in a rude manner. She pointed her finger at Kathleen and said “One day you are gonna realize how much wrong step you had taken. The last thing you could do at that time is to return to us leaving all these.” 

She gave one final angry look at her daughter and left. Kathleen immediately took out her cell phone and called her father. Her father didn’t utter anything listening to her. He said “Your wish, Kat.” And cut the call. 

Kathleen sat on the sofa and put her hands on her forehead. Nina was still in shock as it’s the first time she saw Kathleen talking to her Mother that way. 

“I never saw you speaking to your mom with this much bravery.” Nina said looking at Kathleen. 

“I too never thought I would talk like that. I think it’s his letters who made me change from a scared little girl to a fearless independent woman.” 

Nina smiled listening to her. 

“So, there’s no need to lie to anyone anymore.” Nina said. 

“Yes. I am relaxed but I feel bad for shouting at my mom and why don’t she understand? Why won’t she trust me?” 

“Kat! Your mom shouted because she thought you were going in a wrong path. Prove her that she was wrong then everything will become normal.” 

Kathleen smiled and hugged her friend. 

“I’m so glad to have you as my friend.” Kathleen said resting her chin on Nina’s shoulder. 

After that, they both started doing their works. Kathleen didn’t call her mother after the fight. Her mother too didn’t attempt to make call to Kathleen. 

As usual Kathleen went to a publishing house one day. She got rejected and again started to her house. 

While walking on road, a car suddenly came to halt beside her. Kathleen flinched and saw Michael got out of the car. She gave him an angry look and kept strolling away.

“Kathleen!” 

She heard him calling her name. Ignoring him she kept walking forward. 

“Why trying the things which you can’t get?” Michael asked standing in front of her. 

Hearing him, anger rushed through her. She turned to him and said “Yeah! Same thing. Why trying a girl whom you’ll never get?” 

He let out a sigh frustratingly. He walked to her and said “Kathleen! I love you.” 

She looked at him with furrowed brow. He continued saying “Why won’t you understand? Why don’t you want to marry me?” 

“Because you are a jerk and I hate you.” 

“Kathleen! You’ve grown up. You can understand what to do to reach higher levels. You can’t get another man who is rich, provides good future to you and your family and loves only you like me. Think about it.” 

With each word he said, her anger grew high. She kept looking at him with irritated face. 

He continued saying “I know a lot of people. I’ve many connections. If you marry me, I’ll talk to them and make them publish your whatever book it is. We can live happily ever after. I will take care of your parents too.” 

“Stop it Michael. What the hell are you talking? Don’t you have sense atleast? You are literally bragging about yourself. What are you thinking, huh? You think I’ll marry considering all these things? If yes, you are wrong. I will never ever marry you.” 

Saying that, she started walking away. 

“I thought you are an intelligent girl, Kathleen. No one rejects a man like me except a brainless woman like you.” He shouted. 

Turning to him, Kathleen said “If marrying a guy like you need a brain that think like a moron, then I’m glad I don’t have one.” 

Michael stomped his foot and walked to his car angrily. Before he got in the car, he shouted “I’ve wasted my time around you. You don’t deserve me.” 

He then drove off his car. Kathleen rolled her eyes and reached her house.
