POV ~ Garrod Lusitanus

Date 26 November 2025

After reading the 1st chapter of that Ebook, My Stalking Love Story, it almost killed me.

What did she say?
Why?
Was she in pain this many years?
Is she single now?
Happy? Sorrow?
Why she aims at me?
Justin was her bf, what happened to him?

The biggest question is,
Is she Emmie Olsen?

I packed up my essentials and phoned home.

My sister received a call from another end, Mary Lusitanus, 21 years old completely nerd, and younger. She is also pursuing a Medical degree which I told her not to and is currently in her final year crying every day, I warned you.

"Hello, Mary" I murmured on a phone call.

"Yo, brother is resulting out, did you top again? " she said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, They are 2 weeks away! " I exclaimed

"Oh! So what made you call home? Do you miss us?" She laughed

"No, that's not the case. I am coming home tomorrow. " I said quickly

I heard her, dropped the phone.

" Mom, dad" she screamed " You listening to me, brother is saying he is coming home tomorrow " She shouted like hell.

I trembled here. Wondering why everyone is so surprised?
Hm?
Huh?

Yeah, I am the reason,
Because after transferring to Boston 6 years ago from that day I never went back to California. If you ask me why? I didn't want to was my reply always.

Mom, dad, and Mary used to visit me every month for these many years because I don't want to spend my time traveling. I focused all my time on study study study and studying.

And decided to leave for my dear hometown, California.

After 2 hours of flight, it was even more difficult to stand. I managed myself and walked through the exit. There was my complete family standing (My sister, Dad, mom, and a Few neighbors I don't know why they came) with hoarding "Welcome Back My doctor Son"

My Mom's eyes were filled with tears "My son" She was sobbing while kissing my hands."You got thin again. I told you not to work that hard but still"

(Oh! Mom my weight is 75 which means I am obese.)

My dad was filled with pride "My son, My great son. I knew from the start that he is going to be a great human in the future.

(Oh! Dad That was you who told me that I was useless in childhood when you kicked me out of the house.)

"Brother, you got very handsome lately. I thought you will bring a girl with you and introduce her to mum and dad as she is my girlfriend and that child in her hand is ours. But I knew you are not romantic at all. Sucks."

(Oh! Dear sister I am sorry all of them are married )

Then a few lines from Neighbours made me feel homely after that Airport drama, we managed to get home.

Everything was changed even the Home, my room was completely different, Mary said she used it often.

After spending 2 days at home, Eating all my favorite dishes, and Enjoying the family. I never stepped out of my house for these 2 days, I regretted leaving them and staying sad away.

But my mind had a different target set though. I made a plan to visit the Wattpad office.

It's now time to work. The next day there was a talking session in California by a famous writer at the Wattpad office, Anna Todd, yah the famous AFTER writer, the flyer said that and I decided to check out tomorrow morning.

I woke up early in the morning and left home around 9 o'clock informing my mom.

Seriously I have to use Google Maps for roads. Because I have forgotten them, reached the Venue at the time but there was a crowd already around 500 people and they should be People, love Reading other humans life stories, I stood in line for meeting Anna Todd.

Slowly the line gets reduced.
Slowly
slowly
I was getting closer to Anna Todd.

I entered Inside to meet her and she autographed her book After.

After meeting her. I looked around for Office employees, there was one cabin on right with the Manager written on top of the cabin.

I knocked and entered. I was hoping for a 50-plus man. But there was a teenager maybe a college pass-out.

With a smile, he looked at me "Ms. Anna on the 2nd floor, not here" He said grinning.

"I meet her already"

I looked around and sat on the chair.

"Wow. So how can I help you? " he asked pointing his eyes and lifting his eyebrows.

I showed him that story MSLS on my phone "Yes, Sir. I read the first chapter "

"Recently added to paid section" I informed him.

"Yeah. Yeah" he nodded, repeatedly looking at me

" Ah, it's a real-life story. The first chapter that broke the record is already 25k. "

He interrupted in middle "It may be or may not. I know that all sir."

"So your office must have asked for some personal details about the writer then? "

"Yes, maybe the department considered that concern and asked about her bank details. She is free to write whatever she wanted." he chuckled

"Name?" I asked him

"Even I don't know, we can't force the Author to share any information with us "

"What is your name? Even I know you guys are useless with personal information" I completed my question.

"You are asking mine. Sorry, Robert Sharil. I am 27"

"Wow I thought you are like 22, I am Dr.Garrod Lusitanus, 25"

"Wow, a doctor" he looked at me surprisingly. "So where is your clinic or something?"

"My results will be out in a week. I will apply to California City super-specialist Hospital I heard they pay good"

"I heard the same, that's the best hospital in the city"

"Ok. You won't share any details nor you could do anything else. So I must say bye to you."

"Yah!" He replied

I pulled that chair backward and forward toward the exit

"Dr. Lusitanus. I have seen you before." He asked

"Probably on Magazines," I replied

I walked out. My heart was broken.

The good day I hoped was turned into a bad one. I was stupid enough Wattpad office had no idea about her and why would they have it.

I RETURNED HOME with an Uber Cab.

Both mom and dad were gone for the job. My sister was chilling on the couch watching Korean dramas. I sat next to her.

"You didn't go to college today," I asked her

"No Brother. I didn't. What about you? where were you ?" She asked.

"I was looking for a good bookstore"

"For 5 hours" she muttered eating popcorn.

"I lost my way home"

She laughed "Seriously, bro, tell me you got a girlfriend at Harvard."

"No. I slept with many but love wasn't there among any of them "

"What? You must be a carrier of STD. When are you going to get it then?" She interrogated with a different tone.

"Haven't decided yet "

"Aww... What the waste of such a good face and body?" she looks at me from top to bottom

"Pervert" was the instantaneous reply

"If you would have been about 15 minutes early I could introduce you to my boyfriend Ricard"

"You had a boyfriend?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Meet him last year. Told you. Mom was scared to see the blood on the bedsheet." she said with confidence.

Me thinking deeply and realized "That sweet boy you mean. I remembered, you fooled him and threatened him for dating you"

"He isn't that sweet. Kind of hypoxic when it comes to the last phase. "

"Sorry what?"

"I mean he is little lacking energy during..." I Can't withstand her stupid talk. I Walked into the Room, checking through the Internet about MSLS. No clue who was there. After spending 1 hour there was no hope.

At last, there was an idea if she can write. I can write too.

If I write the same story of MSLS from my point of view, I can prove her and she will read that story and understand my point of view.

So I made mind to write. Wrote in response to her story and complete it before she could reach the end. It was easy for me though because the ending was with me.

But I can't start typing on Wattpad. Luckily results were declared.

I passed the Exam and decide to apply for California City Super Specialty hospital as soon as possible.

But before I could plan an action, she blasted another chapter. I managed to scroll the story with a dizzy brain and trembling hands.

To be continued...
