POV ~ Garrod Lusitanus

I woke up early in the morning, It was a little dark again, the same as that day.

6 January 2026, today's date.

My Ebook The Pursuit of Paramour (TPOP) was at the top, with almost 5k views on four chapters. I am shocked and amazed that people responded to my POV.

Many users want this story to continue but Emmie didn't write shit. Like she didn't want to anymore. So Did I win? I will wait for Emmie to write at least 1 chapter. Things that are important now are my family didn't know about it till now.

Haha, they must not because no one might have thought even in the dream that a junior surgeon doctor can become a very famous writer in a week.

I don't want to speak anything about my junior doctor's life it sucks...

Today was a special day for me, I was in a hurry from early in the morning. I had to take a train from the subway to her home around noon.

I completed my daily load of work. Gave an application of half-day leaves for one day.

Mary was like please take me to meet her too. But having her with me, another pain. Oh no! It's Impossible. I refused, she was angry like a supernova about to burst but ok before she could collapse, I left.

I already knew the address, My Destination. Took a taxi and did a little bargain for about 45 dollars to 40 dollars.

I just hope that they might not have transferred somewhere else.

Getting out of the car, I was standing near a newly constructed house, a couple of years old it looks. Well furnished as it looks from outside. The greenery around the house trees planted. And bookplate with Dr. William Residence.

Was he William? I don't remember his last name. I walked in, through the Entrance, rang the doorbell. And looking through the Door camera. I waited for minutes, but there was no response or anything at all.

Rang the bell again.

Waited again.

And continued the process,

Then near the CCTV camera, I waved. It was my last hope or else I have to go to a cafe and wait till afternoon, evening or so.

Some sound from the microphone of the door begins to reach my ear.

"Hello, who is this? We didn't order anything recently. And you are under CCTV surveillance" A soft voice flowing around.

"I am here to meet Jacob & Rachel William. Do they still live here?" I asked politely to that receiver from the opposite side.

"They do live with me. But they are not home at present " The voice replied

"I am Garrod Lusitanus, their friend. Can you tell me, when they will come back?"

There was no response later.

It was more or less than 5 years since we didn't meet each other. I and Rachel were very close. Later when I shifted to Boston, I almost broke contact. Someone informed me that they got married 5 years back, they invited and informed via a letter and gave me this address. But I couldn't come, I thought of visiting them later and giving them a little surprise though it's after 5 years now I guess.

I was thinking of going to a cafe, but suddenly a miracle happened. The door of that house opened slowly

There was a small girl around the age of 5 to 6 wearing a white single one-piece dress, extending till her knees.

Her eyes were blue like Rachel exactly like her one of the rear colors they say. Hairs little straight little curly. She walked towards me. I was near the entrance she outstretched her hand and gave me a phone.

"Here, my mom is on-line" The soft voice of her.

I bend down to take the phone.

"Hello, It's me Garrod Lusitanus," I said in a formal tone.

"Garry, seriously are you there in front of my house right now. It begins for 5 years. I thought you were dead." My eyes begin to fill with tears her voice is the same. Nothing was changed. I want to tell her I miss her.

I was in a coma for about half a minute, until she yells at me "Hello... are you there?"

"Yah! It's me. I came here to meet you and gave you a surprise but there is a twist I guess."

"I thought you died in Boston...lol...bastard, pervert, bad boy" Rachel yelled at me but I can hear her smile.

"No, I am alive" I smirked

"BASTARD, you didn't even come to my wedding, any ceremony, celebration, the birthday of Aria" she yelled

"I would apologize to you when you come"

"And What the fuck you and Emmie are doing by writing that online book" she barked again.

"You reading that how? And Emmie started it, not me" me trying to act innocent.

"Fuck you. Just delete that, many people are reading it. But it's a pleasure that all are non-medical people or jobless who read that but......Can the next patient wait for a little, it's an urgent call"

"Yeah, I think you should focus on OPD, come home soon, I will be waiting"

"I will come back till evening" She informed.

"And about your husband?" I asked her.

"If he comes early, you guys can hit each other and break each other's bone."

"Really?" I chuckled.

"Yeah, Bye" Rachel ended the call

Rachel and Jacob both are Gynaecologist and can't make till evening once they leave home in the morning.

They asked me to wait for them in their house, as maids we will make food, and I will eat and enjoy it. They informed the same to that little girl.

"So Dr.Garrod, I am Aria William, daughter of Rachel and Jacob William and I am five years old."

I was passed away.
First, they got married
Secondly, they are well settled
And now they had a Daughter.
Wow good, they are doing the same as a human cycle.

And I am fucking Single till now...

"I am Garrod Lusitanus. I am a doctor too, like your mom and dad."

"Busy people you mean" she mused

"Pardon me"

"Nothing much, Come in"

We entered exactly as I predicted. The house was dirty, things were here and there. It looks like a real house of a doctor. We entered the hall, It was clean. Italian marble With the best crockery rack, sofa, and Samsung tv 108 inches with soundproof walls, It was the coolest house, I need my own house soon.

"So Dr. Garrod, do you want anything?" She asked me.

"No, I didn't" I replied to her even though I was thirsty but I was hesitating to ask a little girl.

She brought her huge Ipad, sat next to me. Checking something on Google.

"Hmm. Hmm. So....." I forgot her name in that little time.

She looked at me with a smile "Aria William... so you forgot my name"

Oh wow, she exactly dug the matter out.

"Yah! Kind of" me with a smile. This age generation is damm smart.

"So? What next. Ask what you wanted? " She asked me

"Do you live alone when mom's dad is not around?"

"Very frequently usually maid come but she is late today"

"Ooo.." I began to think of a topic that can give impulse to our conversation

Later she turned her phone towards me. There was a photo of my E-book that was trending on Google in the book section

"Are you the same person that wrote this Ebook The Pursuit Of Paramour ?" She asked me

"Yah! I am the same person. It's my Ebook but not for kids...."

"Follow me upstairs," she said. She took me upstairs there was a bookshelf with a bunch of books like Rachel loved to have.

"Why your writing style doesn't match to anyone..." she asked in exasperation.

"Yah! That's because I am not a good writer nor I am good with words" I smirked

"So you meet Ms.Olsen ?"She asked. I was taken aback.

" You meet her Emmie Olsen? " I asked

" Yep, yesterday. "

"Not so in my case" I replied trying to hide that I was shocked to hear that.

I looked around the library room, and the bell rang.

"Must be maid" Aria concluded

"You should check"

And it was Maid, she cleaned the house, served me with water after asking a dozen questions about me, followed by dusting, cooking food, and taking Aria to the bath.
