Chapter 32- No more sad days(2)
Six months later.
Well, it is six months since my accident. Six months of staying at home, and six months of loneliness.
The last time I heard from Dylan was when he left the hospital. Ever since then, I hadn’t heard or even bother to ask about him.
Rebecca and my mother became best of friends and I was happy for them. Anna and I also got along like normal friends.
“Why don’t you call him?”Sophia had told me one day. “Call Him if you miss him”
Well, that was a month ago and I haven’t even bothered to call him or ask him. When I asked of him from Diana, she said. “The boss had traveled for some few months now. He went to Paris for some business trip.”
I don’t even know if I should call him or not cause I missed him so much. I was done
finding myself and I needed to see him.
After nights of deliberation on whether to go to Paris or not, I decided to take the trip as a surprise to him. “He’ll be shocked to see you,” Sophia had teased me after I told her I was going to Paris. She had called me all sorts of names like Dylan’s love, Dylan’s baby and she even went on to dramatize about. I hoped that her baby Lucas didn’t take after her dramatic attitude.
“Follow your heart baby,” my mother advised me on the day I was going to Paris.
When I landed in Paris, I took a straight cab to the house Dylan and I came to when we visited Paris months ago. I knew that was where he was going to be. When the taxi stopped at the front of the house, I had to take a deep breath before going in.
When I entered, the door was opened and I called his name to announce my presence but what I saw made ran out of the house. Dylan and some girl were sitting on the sofa talking like lovers. Maybe that was his new lover but I thought he said he loved me.
What was I expecting from a guy who left six months ago?
“Amelia” he called after me as I ran out of the house. “Amelia,” he grabbed my hand and whipped me around to face him. “It’s not what you think. ”From NôvelDrama.Org.
“What I think is that I had made a mistake coming here, Dylan. Let me go please, “I pleaded.
“Calm down for once Amelia!” he shouted and then breathe heavily before he continued. “That’s Caroline, my cousin, she came to visit me. Her husband and kids are also here,” he said in a gentler tone.
“What did you say? Your cousin? ” I asked and he nodded. “God. I’m sorry for jumping to a conclusion like that ” I laughed at my stupidness.
“It’s okay” he replied and pulled me into his arms.
Someone cleared their throat behind us, it was his cousin Caroline. “Am I interrupting something baby bro?” she asked as she smiled sweetly.
“Amelia, meet my cousin Caroline. Caroline… ”
Caroline didn’t let him finish what he was saying as she pushed him off and hugged me. “It’s so nice to meet you, Amelia. I have heard a lot about you from my baby bro”
“Same here,” I replied as she hugs me tightly.
Well here comes a hugger like me.
“I’m happy you are here Caroline. My bro had turned to a mess ever since you got separated,” Caroline said and then started to tell me about what had happened since Dylan came to Paris. Dylan had to clear his throat to stop her from going into too much information.
“Well, that’s my cue to leave. Thanks a lot for coming back to my bro,” she smiled and hugged me again. “He is lost without you,” she whispered and walked back into the house.
“Sorry about Caroline. she talks too much”
“It’s okay” I smiled as we both looked at each other. “well it’s nice to see you again”
“Me too, I’m sorry I didn’t call. I just figured you needed some time to yourself, “he said and cupped my face with his hands. “I missed you a lot, Amelia. I… ”
I shushed him and pulled him closer to me and then I leaned in to kiss him. “I love you,” I confessed.
“I love you too Amy”.
He pulled me closer and kissed me passionately this time.
Fireworks, electric works whatever they called it happened as our lips met. I was finally with the one I love.
No more sad days…
Epilogue- Forgiveness is the key
Amelia POV
It’s my wedding day! I’m excited!. Well after the trip to Paris, Dylan and I started dating again and he proposed after two years at the Eiffel tower in Paris.
That morning, my mother had spoken a few words of encouragement to me. She told me to have a happy and lovely life. I cried as she wished me well. I love my mother so much.
“I’m happy for you love and your father must be proud,” she said and hugged me
I choose Sophia to become my chief bridesmaid. Diana and Anna were among the bridesmaids. Anna and I became friends years ago and she was happy that Dylan and I finally got back together. She became happy too as she found a man who loves her as she loved him.
Kelly, Kelly, well she was sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment for the crimes she committed.
It’s served her right.
The song a thousand years by Christina Perri played as I walked down the aisle dressed in a mermaid silhouette gown accompanied by Larry, my best friend forever. Well, he and Dylan settled their rift over the years and they became friends again.
Heartbeat fast, colors and promises
How to be brave? How can I love when I’m afraid to fall.
Watching you stand alone, all of my doubt’s suddenly go away somehow.
One step closer.
Larry placed my hand into Dylan’s who was dressed in a blue tuxedo. Larry mouthed a word to him before walking away. from the movement of his lips, I could hear what he said. “Take care of her”.

“Do you Dylan Blackstone take Amelia brown as your beloved wife. To love, to care for, to hold, in sickness and in health. Till death do you part? “the priest asked.
“Yes I do,” Dylan stared at me and smiled as he replied to the priest.
“Do you Amelia brown take Dylan Blackstone as your beloved husband. To care for, to hold, in sickness and health till death do you part?”
“Yes, I do, “I laughed as the tears of joy flowed down my face. I was really happy that at last Dylan was mine.
The priest asked us to exchange the rings and say our vows.
“With this ring Amelia, I pledge to love you forever. I almost lost you and I’m never going to take that chance again. I love you with all my heart. You are the best thing that had ever happened to me, “Dylan confessed and put the ring on my finger.
I Smile and cried at the same time at his confession.
“Dylan, today in front of everyone I confessed my love to you. I love you so much even though you were a big bad boss” I joked and everyone laughed including Dylan. “It’s all in the past now, “I chuckled and continued… “I promise to cherish and love you till the end Dylan. I promise to be a good mother to our children and a good wife to you,” I said my vows and placed the ring on his finger.
“With this, I now pronounced you both man and wife. You may now kiss the bride”the priest declared.
Dylan pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. Yay, I’m married.
The crowd all cheered and clapped for us as we walked down the aisle. The song by Christina Perri continues playing in the background.

Five years later.
Dylan POV
Two brown-haired girls jumped on my king-sized bed as they try waking me up with their tiny hands.
“Daddy! Wake up!! “They both shouted at the same time.
“I’m up, up, “I groaned and stood up from the bed. Well, three years after our wedding, we had our bundle of joy. Amelia gave birth to two girls which we named Amanda and Daphne after our names. (Amelia and Dylan).
“Where is mummy? “I asked them as I carried them on my shoulders to the kitchen.
“There! “Daphne pointed at Amelia who was busy making breakfast for us.
“Good morning baby,” I dropped the kids and walked toward her. I circled my hand around her waist and kissed her.
“Good morning baby,” she turned and kissed me on the lips.
“What are you cooking? ”
“Pancakes” she replied and funnily licked my lips.
“Hmmmmm, tempting, “I winked at her. She smiled and circled her hand around my neck and we began to kiss but the shouts of the kids pulled us apart.
“Daddy, Amanda won’t let me watch sponge Bob square pants, “Daphne stomped her leg on the kitchen floor. something she does when she’s angry.
“Go daddy,” Amelia mouthed and laughed.
I glared at her before walking to Daphne.
“Okay, Okay. Daddy is here, “I took her hand and we both walked to the living room.
“Amanda, what are you watching?”
“Barbie but Daphne won’t let me watch it in peace” Amanda whined.
I facepalmed myself and let out a groan. This happens almost every day and each time I had to settle the argument.
“Okay girls, listen up. Why don’t I tell you a story about your mother and me”
“Really? Go on daddy,” Daphne sat down on my legs to listen while Amanda rested her head on my arm.
“Your mother and I were…. “I started the story and when I was finished they both smiled and hugged themselves. Well I told them about forgiveness and how it helps a lot
“Let’s watch barbie first and then we’ll watch sponge Bob square pants,” Amanda proposed and Daphne nodded in agreement.
“Food is ready” Amelia announced. This made the children jump and ran to the dining hall.
“you tell a nice story daddy,” Amelia teased.
I grabbed her from behind and placed kisses on all parts of her body. “Stop it, Dylan, “she laughed as I tickled her.
“That was fun,” I said and kissed her.
“Yeah. come on the kids are waiting,”. She replied and pulled my hand to the dining hall.
Well sometimes the heart never really forgets the past, forgiveness is all that matters.
