82. The Happiness!

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-11 22:56:02

Author's POV 

Mikhail admired his wife's peaceful face, she was sleeping peacefully. 

"Will you stop staring at me like that?"

She blushed without opening her eyes. 

"Like what?"

He teased her nose tip. 

"I am just admiring my wife..."

She opened her eyes and yawned lazily. 

"What's there to admire about me? I look disgusting when I wake up."

He scoffed.

"You are the most beautiful when you wake up."

She raised her eyebrows.

"These messy hair."

She fixed her hair while sitting up.

"These puffy eyes, oily face and drool marks... From which angle do I look beautiful."

He smiled. 

"Believe it or not, I love you more like this instead of makeup... You are a natural beauty."

She blushed and lazily threw herself at him. He gathered her in his arms and kissed her cheek. 

"Are we ready for today?... It's been a year, and our babies are growing fast."

"They are!"

He played with her hair. 

"Everything is prepared and everyone is excited... Especially my sisters. They are making some rubbish rules..."

"Those are not rubbish rules..."

She laughed. 

"There are two teams... Andres' team will wear blue and Sabrina's team will wear pink. It's just a fun game to see who has more members in their team... It's fun!"

"No one's gonna follow the dress code." 

He scowled. 

"Have you seen any mafia wearing anything other than black?"

"Those who love them will do it."

She pecked his lips. 

"Your pink and blue suits are ready. Now you decide which one you want to wear."

He groaned when she got up. 

"I am not wearing those colours..."

She shook her head.

"Don't wear it but be on time.... I am going out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

He asked while throwing his bedsheets off and getting up lazily. 

"I need to visit someone... Don't worry I'll be on time."

She answered. 

Marona freshened up and went to her mother.

"Hi, Mom. How are you?"

She sat beside her grave. 

"I know you are enjoying the company of your favourite man."

She placed flowers on their graves. 

"Sabrina and Andres have turned one year old today. I am so happy... I wish you could have been here to see them but anyways, I don't want to get emotional on such a happy day. I know you are smiling while watching me so I should do that too..."

She looked at Issac's grave.

"Life was unfair with you too. In all the struggle I forgot about the man who was struggling to set himself free from the vicious cycle. Wanted nothing but a safe life for his love and daughter... I never got the chance to live with you as a daughter but I am sure that you would have been the best father... Thank you so much for loving my mother... If I ever get a second life then I would wish to be your daughter with a safe and happy life... I am proud of you both."

She wiped her tears which came out without permission. 

"Okay, I need to leave now... See you soon."

She was walking out when she saw Marona's grave.

"Hi, Marona... I know it's not enough but thank you so much for this life. You will be happy to hear that grandma has recovered completely and your parents now know about your death... Grandma told them and as always they didn't pay much attention, although they were sad for some time. Those people are emotionless and selfish. You deserved better. I'll pray to god to give you loving parents next time. And courage to face everything with a brave heart. Next time live for yourself and your survival so anyone's negligence won't take your beautiful life... All the best, friend..."

She smiled at her and went on her way.

She caught the glimpse of hotel Hywala on her way. Ivan was dead, he took his last breath in his bounds. In someone else's case she would feel bad but he deserved it. His sins were unforgivable. 

She didn't even want to come to his funeral but her grandma said that no matter how bad the person was, we should always say last goodbye with rituals so his soul becomes better in the next life. Marona gave him a respectful funeral and that was the last time she saw him. The bitter memories are still there but she doesn't give them importance. 

Sometimes she feels that the drug effect was a boon for her. Her childish innocent heart would have cried tears of blood while remembering all that. 

She shook her thoughts aside and went back to the castle. The birthday party was arranged in the garden and only close friends were invited. 

Marona got her babies ready for the party and brought them out. 

"Mamma, this is cheating... You are supposed to wear only one colour, not a mix of both."

Mira teased while looking at her blue and pink dress. 

"How can I choose one team? I am the mother."

She chuckled. 

"Right!"

She nodded while looking at babies. 

"She is looking so good."

She grabbed Sabrina who was wearing her princess crown.

"Madam, you are wearing blue which means you are team Andres then why are you complimenting Sabrina."

Marona raised her eyebrows. 

Mira cleared her throat.

"Look around, all women are wearing blue for this handsome man."

She tickled Andres and he giggled. 

"Where are all the men?"

Marona looked around. 

"Getting ready."

Aurora informed as she came towards them. 

"Do you think they will wear the dress code?"

Mira questioned. 

"No doubt that Damon will..."

Aurora chuckled. 

"But imagine Rafael wearing pink."

All of them burst out laughing. 

"He will die but he won't wear pink."

"That for sure."

Marona agreed. 

"Do you know that we had a presentation in college and everyone had to wear white doctor coat but this man came in black one. The whole room was stunned..."

Aurora laughed. 

"That's definitely Rafael's thing."

"Hey, they are coming out."

Mira said excitedly when their bodyguards came out first. 

Damon was the first one to come out in his pastel pink suit. He smiled excitedly as he approached them. 

"Princess, how am I looking?"

He took Sabrina and she grinned at him with squeal. 

"I didn't expect this!"

Marona teased him. 

"I am a women's man, of course I am a team princess."

He chuckled. 

"Is that Rafael?"

Aurora's jaw dropped. 

"He knows that there are other colours also."

"But it's still royal blue... No fun!"

Mira scowled. 

"But he doesn't do that either. He only wore different colours when we went on a coffee date. The occasion is rare."

She chuckled and looked at him adoringly.

"But he is looking so handsome..."

"Where is Mikhail?... What do you think, what will he wear?"

Damon questioned. 

"I don't think he is following the dress code. He was not interested."

Marona huffed. 

"Are you sure?" 

Damon smirked and gestured towards the door. 

Marona's jaw dropped when she saw Mikhail in a pink suit. 

"Oh my goodness!"

She clasped her mouth. 

"Am I dreaming? Why is this man looking more manly in pink?"

"Yeah, it suits him."

Aurora agreed. 

"Look at her."

Damon chuckled when Sabrina started wiggling excitedly when she saw her father and stopped only when Mikhail took her from Damon. 

"So team Sabrina, huh?"

Marona teased him. 

"Someone said that he won't be a father."

He smiled embarrassed. 

"How can I resist this love? She definitely knows how to win hearts, just like her mother."

She laughed when he teased her. 

"So what gifts did you get for them?"

She asked excitedly. 

"You wanna see?"

He grinned.

"Turn around!"

Marona looked at him confused and turned around, her jaw dropped when she saw Rotero and his family. 

"Oh my god!"

She looked at Mikhail shocked. 

"How did you manage to bring them here?"

"I have a good reputation with tribals."

He shrugged. 

Marona welcomed Rotero and family. 

"I am so happy that you came..."

Rotero smiled and caressed her head. 

"Just to witness your happiness."

Marona looked at his wife and smiled. 

"Thank you for coming here."

She smiled.

"I am happy for you. Sorry for my harsh decisions but as a wife and mother I had to do it... I hope you understand and forgive me."

Marona nodded. 

"I completely understand... I don't blame you. You have done so much for me. I can never be angry at you." 

She hugged her and finally looked at Mallika. 

"Hey!"

Marona was awkward. 

"Hi!"

Mallika smiled. 

"Good to see you fit and fine."

She gave her a friendly hug. 

"Probably because of you and your husband... Thank you!"

She thanked her. 

"Please enjoy the party. I am here if you need anything."

She was happy to see them.

Mikhail was admiring her happiness and smile. 

"Happy?"

"I love you so much!" 

She hugged him.

"You are the best!"

"One more person is waiting for you!"

He turned her around and Marona felt her eyes getting wet when she saw Mrs. Nair. 

She ran towards her and hugged her tightly. 

"I missed you too"

Mrs. Nair chuckled. 

"See, I made it."

She said happily while showing her family. 

"Yes, you did and knew that you will."

She nodded with a huge smile.

Marona was never this happy.

"It looks like you gave me gifts instead of kids."

Mikhail chuckled.

"No, I gifted the person who gifted them to me."

She smiled and hugged him. 

"I love you"

He hugged her back and smiled. 

"I do more than you!"

How am I going to deal and survive in that house?"You are applying juice on bread instead of butter."Della's sharp tone brought me back into reality and I realized what stupidity I was doing. I huffed while placing the bread down and sat at the table. "Thanks for snapping me out""It's necessary or else people tend to do stupid things when they are not focused."Her tone was off. "Meaning?"I asked confused. She sat beside me and grabbed my hand gently in her hands."Meaning, you don't have to do things which don't make you happy. You tell this to people then why don't you follow that. If you don't want to go, then say no!.. He is your husband and he should watch out for your comfort also. I am sure that you haven't said no even once because God knows what happens to you in front of him... You become a goddess of devotion and sacrifice."I smiled at her words."It's not like that, Della.

    Marona's POV After that day, I never saw Mikhail again. I focused on my studies and Laurence but he never stopped haunting my dreams. His warning was already giving me nightmares. It felt like his eyes never left me, I was feeling him watching me all the time. It won't be wrong if I say that Mikhail had occupied my mind more than Laurence. I was terrified to see him again and was praying every day that I won't meet the murderer ever. It made me so relieved after knowing that he wasn't going to attend our wedding. Shaking my thoughts aside, I freshened up. Laurence came late that night, I was waiting for him because I was feeling alone. I always want him to hold me closer but he is never around.

"You will finish it in seconds, I am sure of it"Rafael knew that she is trying to escape. Lovina forced her to sit down and Marona could feel anxiety rolling in her body. She shifted uncomfortably in her place and looked down at the chessboard silently. She thought she would confront the man who touched her but it turned out to be Mikhail, against whom she can't even stand. She tried to forget how well she felt under his touch which shouldn't have happened. She is supposed to hate this man with everything she has.

Last night was soft and passionate and the warehouse day was horrified and cruel. She can still feel his hands on her body and it was eating her in guilt. The ho
