Reina felt like she was the happiest woman in the world being in the arms of the man she loves. Sitting on Harry's laps with her arms around his neck and his hands hugging her waist tightly. The lovebirds sat there under the dazzling night, lost in each other's gazes.
"You said you love me right?"Reina asked sweetly. With his face buried in her neck, nibbling on it and playing with her hair, Harry assented to her words making her feel even more happy.
"Then you can't take back what you said. Ever" she spoke with a serious expression. Harry looked at her serious face and found her to be so cute, completely melting his heart. Kissing her sweet lips, he solemnly vowed,
"May heaven and earth bare me witness that l, Harry Zelkowicz promise to love no one else but Reina Lyle all my life. l promise to be her shield and protector and give all the happiness in the world. Stand by her side and never betray her".
Reina looked at him with eyes full of love and adoration.
"I, Reina Lyle promise to love no one else but Harry Zelkowicz with all of my life. As long as you don't betray me, I'll never leave you and will stand by your side for eternity".She declared.
Harry smiled and suddenly asked,"What happens if l ever let you down"
Reina looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Then our love will come to an wnd. I'll leave you and find the world's finest man to marry". Jealous, Harry pulled her closer to him, "Oh really?. You dare to think about marrying another man? See how I'll deal with you now".
He started to tickle her, making her laugh out loud and beg for mercy.
"The last time I saw you, you're still a little girl. You've now grown up into such a beautiful and classy lady. That's a good thing." Old madame praised.
"Old madame flatters me. I'm still the same little pink head".Soraya sweetly replied. During her teenage years, she was obsessed with the color pink and even dye her hair pink. Something which Old madame finds it to be absolutely horrendous but the then rebellious teenage girl refused to dye it back to her natural color and keep on appearing in front her like an eye sore.
Old madame chat amicably with Soraya while Sasha looked on with distaste. She and Soraya have never gotten along with each other. Because they both loved the same man, they can be said to hate each so much that they wish the one dead.
"I heard your family is talking about marriage with the Osman family. I'll congratulate you in advance". Sasha spoke with a sweet smile.
The Osman family is one the top influencial families in the country and anyone who marries into such a family is blessed but it's not as simple as it seems. Who doesn't know that the Osman family has only one son but this son was a good for nothing who only knows how to party, gamble and whoring. Rumors has it, he has many kept women and illegitimate children spread all over the city. Marrying such a man will bring you no end of trouble.
Aware that she was mocking her,Soraya smiled even more sweetly and replied, "Well thank you. I heard your health is bad. You should take care of yourself more. After all you've been married for so long but there's been no movement in your belly. Don't worry too much and let nature take it course. I wish you the birth of two sons to glorify the Zelkowicz family name". Sasha's expression turned deadly as she glared ferociously at Soraya as if she couldn't wait to tear her apart. Soraya looked at her with a contemptuous smile.
With eyes closed and being guided by Reina, Harry slowly made his way to his sister's room. He opened his eyes under the order of Reina and was shocked to see a well dressed Giselle strapped in her wheelchair and smiling at him.
The little sister that he knew hated that wheelchair more than anything and will not sit in it unless necessary. Not to add smiling at him. She has never smiled at anyone or anything for the past decade.
"Big brother, come and see this". She called. Harry walked over to her, kneel beside and waited. Giselle gestured to him with her eyes to focus his attention on her right hand. She moved her fingers. Harry's eyes widen in shock."It..It moved?!" He pointed at her fingers.
"Yes. Giselle has feeling in her fingers" Reina told him. She was also equally shocked when Giselle revealed that she can move her fingers but has kept it to herself over the years. This means all hope is not lost and she can recover if not fully.
A series of emotions overflowed in his eyes as his stared at his teary eyed sister looking at him with anticipation. All these years, only he understands how desperate and sad he was to see his little sister in that condition. Gently taking her hand into his, with a choked voice he said,"Thank you for choosing to live again".
