Tales Of Love

Julian Brabra’s complexion became ashen. Oh!, so Aurora is married? All his hopes have been dashed. There’s never going to be a chance for him to be with Aurora again.

“Here, take a look” Grey called him back to his senses, stretching a brown envelope to him. Julian Brabra reluctantly collected the envelope and brought out the photos inside.

Julian Brabra’s complexion turned from pale to red and back to normal again. His ears were red and his eyes almost popped out of their socket. His hands started shivering as he looked at the picture in his hands.

These were Santiago’s and Aurora’s wedding pictures. The pictures of them both with their kids. Unable to look at more pictures. Julian Brabra put them back into the envelope and handed it back to Grey.

Grey almost laugh out loud. He saw the reaction and complexion changes in Julian Brabra when he saw those pictures. That serves him right, if he thinks Aurora would stay single and not fall in love with someone else, waiting for him to come to her for a second chance to kindle the fire of their love, then he must have been a great Joker.

“I shall.. I.. will be leaving” Julian Brabra stammered. He was sweating as beads of sweat rose on his fore-head in an air conditioned room.

“Huh. I presume” Grey replied and watched him stand up groggily like a drunken man, and use the door. The shock he felt must have affected him from within otherwise, how could he be sweating profusely, despite the office being chilly cold.

As Julian Brabra drove home, he couldn’t believe what his eyes saw. Aurora is married to Santiago Axel? Didn’t the latter send her to jail and even forbade anyone to be allowed to see her. When did they get together and even have two kids, twins?

Could it be that President Axel was the one who masterminded her escape from prison? The last bit of hope that he had left, had been shattered.

Meanwhile in St Petersburg, Eli Rowan invited his sister Mia for a dinner but the latter declined and would not accept. Mile pleaded with Mia to accept the dinner outing as a way of Eli apologizing for his wrongs. He coaxed her further by saying Aurora was happily married already.

After much persuasion, Mia accepted and that evening, she went out for dinner with Eli. After their meal, Eli told her he was sorry for hurting her and Aurora with his words.

He further opened up to Mia that a friend of his had a crush on Aurora and he had promised him to get his niece and him together. Only for him to discover that Aurora was seeing the father of her kids and that was what infuriated him.

Mia told him that she had forgotten about it and they can sweep the past under the carpet and leave the rest of their lives happily as siblings. They ended the dinner and at Eli ‘s perLoganasion, Mia stopped by the mansion to spend the night.

She went to see her grandfather and for the first time in many weeks, he recognized her as his granddaughter Mia. Her grandfather couldn’t even raise himself without the help of his children.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Mia sat by his bedside and took his hand in hers and raised it to her cheeks. This is her grandfather who had pampered her in the past and would not let her leave his side. But today, he couldn’t even talk loudly anymore, too weak to do anything for himself.

“Mia, Camilla is beckoning to me. I want to go and see my wife again” He said in a whisper and Mia started sobbing.

“Grandfather, you’ll be alright ok?” Mia said amidst tears. Her grandfather had kept saying his late wife Camilla was calling out to him. He seemed to be too obsessed with the thoughts of his late wife.

When a sick person starts saying words like seeing a dead relative, beckoning to them, it creates fear in the minds of the people around such a person.

Was he going to die? What is going to happen to her grandfather? She wished her late grandma would just stop, beckoning to him.

Luke came to check on his father and met Mia holding his arm and sobbing quietly. “Why sobbing Mia?” he demanded.

“It’s nothing father. Just spending some time with grandfather” Mia replied, cleaning her tears stained face. She smiled and turned her face away.

“How are you doing father?” Luke asked, sitting on the other edge of the bed opposite Mia. He had made it a routine to always come and check on his father as many times as he could.

He had thought his father wouldn’t make it out of the hospital the last time, but thanks to his grandson- in-law Santiago who visited him in the company of Aurora at the right time.

Great grandfather Rowan opened his eyes with great difficulty and stared at his son strangely “Who are you?” he asked.

Luke Rowan was not Surprised. His father had been exhibiting a trait of forgetfulness. He doesn’t know anyone except occasionally he calls Mia’s name.

“Did he recognize you?” Luke asked his daughter. Mia nodded and caressed her grandfather’s grey hairs.

Luke Supposed and knew that he might still recognize Mia. She had always been his favorite grandchild, partly because she’s a female and the eldest and majorly because she looked very much like his mother.

Great grandfather Rowan didn’t say anything else but drifted back to sleep. Mia quietly let his hand down and covered him properly with the quilt. She planted a kiss on his wrinkled fore-head before bading her father good night and left.

Luke sat and watched Mia tucked her grandfather under the quilt and left. He looked at his sleeping father and sighed. He had this feeling that his father would die soon.

He kept calling his mother’s name even in his sleep and kept saying she was beckoning to him.

He stayed by his bedside deep into midnight before retiring to his room.
