"Yes, it won't change anything."
Rose said, "What are you doing here?"
"I came from time to time. And for your kind information, he was my brother," Roy said.
Rose nodded. She looked at Roy and said, "I meant to say sorry to you."
"Why is that?" Roy asked.
"Because of me, many lives were destroyed. Many dreams shattered. You also lost your brother. Your freedom to choose love."
Roy nodded and said, "True. Because of it, I used to hate you. But you know what, before Levi died he asked me to forgive you. He said it was not your fault. You were deceived. And we should hate those who were deceiving, not the one who fell for it."
"I get it. But you don't have to force yourself to understand me."
"It's the opposite, Rose. You are suffering for the crime you did not do. Not you but all of us. But I can understand your need for time. So I hope you can give yourself the time."
Rose looked at Levi's grave and asked, "Do you think he could forgive me?"
"If I can, so can him," Roy said. Then added, “After all, he loves you more."
Rose gave a small smile. They both sat there in silence.
"Please take care of her," Rose said.
"I will. She is my wife and -" Roy Looked surprised. He did not know what he was going to say. Rose understood the unfinished sentence and said, "Don't feel guilty. Levi wants you to be happy. Remember only a happy person can make another happy."
Roy didn't say anything. Rose knew like Rose and Ash, Roy and Bella needed time. However, Rose knew that everything would be fine.
Rose got up and said, "Let's go. We have a plane to catch."
Roy held out his hand. Rose saw it and raised her brows. Then she put her hand on his. Roy stood up and said, "Come back soon, sister-in-law."
Rose felt like her heart was being squeezed out. She could barely nod.
Later that day Rose went to her parents' house. Ash did not let her go to her parent's home. He begged her to stay for the last few days. Rose agreed. How couldn't she, when Ash was making a cute face.
So she visited her parents two times. Sophie recovered well. No matter what Sophie loved John. However, in this life, they cannot be together. However, God was merciful enough to let Sophie meet a man who loved her. Moreover, with him, she overcomes all obstacles.
Sophie was sad when she learned that Rose wanted to leave the country. But Rose explained all her feelings. Sophie cried and said, "Because of me, my children suffered."
"No, mom. You are not the cause. Don't you ever feel this?"
"Okay. I will listen to my daughter."
Then they talked and Bella joined them. After two and half years, they all sat together and had a tranquil time.
That night Rose returned. Her flight was at 3 am. So she had some time before she left for the airport.
She saw Ad was packing her bag. Rose said, "Ad, you don't have to do it."
Ad looked and said, "I wanted to. Come here."
Rose went near her and saw a beautiful bracelet. Ad said, "It is my gift. It will protect you. Rose looked at it carefully and saw there was a key on this bracelet. Rose said, "Wow, so beautiful."
Ad said, "It is in pairs. You have the key"
"Then who has the lock?" Rose asked.
Ad smiled and said, "Who's the heart you locked with your love has the lock. Only you can unlock it."
Rose smiled and said, "One day we will unlock it."
"That's the spirit," Ad said and hugged her.
"Please come back soon,"
"I will. Until then please take care of Ash."
"I will."
Ad organized all the things then left the room. Rose was waiting for Ash to come.
And there he came. He hugged her from behind and said, "Do you miss me?"
Rose put her hand over his and said, "All the time"
Ash said, "Then don't go."
Rose sighed. They talked about it every day. But Ash is ash. Won't listen to anyone.
"I will come back. It is not like I am going far. Paris is closer than you think."
"But you won't let me meet you nor will you tell me about your address."
"Ash, because I want to start all by myself. I want to find the girl who was lost when she was eighteen. I want to find me, who can stand with you and love you unconditionally."
"I understand all of it. But my heart didn't want you to let go."
"Mine too. But still, I will go."
Ash hugged her tightly and said, "How do I know you will come back? How much do I have to wait?"
Rose said, "I will come back. I will let you know."
Ash looked at those black eyes. The eyes, which held, live for him. He wanted to hold onto those tiny hands. But he knew that he had to let go.
Ash wanted to say many things but the thing that came was, "I love you."
Rose blushed and said, "I know."
They spent their time talking about what they plan for the future. What will Ash do? Ash said he wanted his company to become the top company in this continent. Rose smiled and said that he can.
Ash also said that he would build a home for her. He will design it himself. Rose blushed.
Rose said that she wanted to join an entertainment company and become the best songwriter. Her song will reach everyone and will make him or her feel all different emotions.
They talked about their dreams.
After that, they left for the airport. All went to send her off. Rose looked at the people she loved. Rose held back her tears and put a smile on her face. She hugged everyone and said goodbyes. Then she came in front of Ash.
"I am going.”
"Yes, take care."
Rose felt awkward. Therefore, she did not say much. She took her luggage and went to check-in. When Ash shouted, “Remember, I will be waiting."
Rose nodded ferociously and moved on.
It was exactly 6 months they stayed together.
Ash was driving his car when a plane flew away.
He said, "We will meet again, my wife." In addition, he smiled.
Hi guys, It hurts me to write this chapter. My mother once told me forgiveness was the biggest thing in life. It was not easy to forgive anyone. We can easily hold a grudge. But life is not about getting back to others but about forgiving and self-improvement. Many of my readers might not forgive Rose. However, I am sure one day you will come to understand that Rose was not wrong but her circumstances were. Moreover, I hope one day you have it in yourself that you forgave Rose and bless her. Looking forward to that day. Love you all.
