When We Were Perfect - Chapter 133

Chapter 131

This journey of quenching thirst shall end soon

Something incomplete will get completed soon

The skies have bowed down,

Both the worlds have met

Everywhere you see,

There’s an atmosphere of the meeting

Fragrances are spread everywhere

Even the angels came to see this moment

★★★★★★★

Four months later,

Tears threatened to pour out of her eyes making them glitter against the hot summer sun. The sky was blue as the ocean and the birds were chirping happily alongside the soft breeze.

The grass was all flesh and green but despite the arrival of spring, the coldness of the place couldn’t be ignored as Amy stood in the middle of the graveyard staring at the tombstone in front of her.

Her hand brushed against the slightly burning tombstone as she knelt to the ground mindful of her small baby bump, placing down a bouquet of sunflower next to the cursive name. Her fingers grazed the cold marble with a sorrowful look.

“I finally avenged your death, the person who made you lay here is rotting in hell. Your sacrifice didn’t go down the drain,” She takes a deep breath before continuing with a hoarse tone.

“I miss you, I miss you so much but I know you are at peace there, happy with dad. You don’t have to worry about me, I am fine, trying to be happy and strong for the people I love,”

A lone tear fell from her orbs as she quickly wiped it away.

“Till we meet again Ayla.”

A wisp brushed against my face as a hand pushed my hair out of my face placing a kiss on his cheek while his arms wrapped around her neck making her giggle softly,”

“There you are!” A worried voice called out, making her turn her head back to the owner of the voice as she stood up carefully from the ground holding Ozan.

“You can’t take care of a small child Silas, what are we going to do with you!” Amy shook her head with a frown kissing Ozan’s head.

“Don’t blame me, this boy is a ball of energy. I just took a second to glance around and he ran towards your direction!” Silas inhaled trying to stabilize his rushing heart because of the running.

Amy rolled her eyes at him but couldn’t say anything, that man was already doing a lot for them.

“Fine! Let’s go back now, it’s going to sunset soon!” Amy said as they all walked towards their car, settling Ozan in the backseat.

“I could have come alone, Silas, you don’t have to take every responsibility!” Amy spoke gingerly leaning in the car seat as he drove through the way.

“Alone, in this condition. No way in freaking hell besides you two are family and we are responsible for the ones we care about!” Silas replied, concentrating on the path ahead.

Amy glanced at him sideways, at the mature answer he gave. He had been really doing a lot for them, from taking care of Daniel’s business to visiting them every day not letting them feel alone. Then there was Nadia and her mother who were there to hug her during every breakdown and pregnancy checkup she had. Now that she was in her second trimester, her hormones were at extreme to such an extent that she couldn’t even sleep in their room anymore nor look at any of his belongings.

“Thank you!”

Silas glanced between her and the road.

“What for?” A frown took over his face.

“For everything you have been doing in the past months!” Amy asserted with sincerity.

He glared at her for a second,

“Amy I said it before you guys are family, I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary for you and Da..Daniel would have killed me for not looking after you guys!” Though he tried to create some humor, his own voice became a bit quaky at the end but he cleared his throat fast.

Amy didn’t say anything, just a dry sigh escaped past her lips.

“Amy, look I am not trying to be heartless or something. He is my brother but don’t you think we are hanging on a loose string waiting for him to wake up. It’s been four months now,” He said, biting his lip, not wanting to let out his emotions.

Amy sighed listening to the same thing for the last four months. Like doctors had stated it would be her decision regarding Daniel’s life support if he didn’t wake up in two days. Those days were the most restless time of her life as she kept praying standing outside his room for him to wake up but he didn’t. When the time came, Amy knew for one thing that she couldn’t cut his life support, though the doctors had already given up on Daniel.

She knew at the back of her mind that what Silas said was right to some degree but she couldn’t under any circumstances let her husband die in front of her. There was some lingering hope in her heart that he would wake up and come back to them and she was willing to wait even if it meant for a lifetime, she would wait for him.

“I would wait because I know for sure that one day he will come back!”

Silas absorbed his tears, trying to concentrate on his driving.

………..

Amy opened the door to the familiar sight of Daniel lying on the bed with the same wires. She smiled despite the tugging in her chest, every time she looked at him, it brought back all the pain like the first day.

Ozan slid past her and ran towards the bed with his tiny feet, climbing up the chair and onto the bed.

“Daddy!” He smiled and kissed his cheek thinking that his daddy was asleep due to some illness. That’s what Amy could say to him.

“Look, I bwought you some tinkies!” Ozan took out a few twinkies from his pocket and placed them on his bed.

“Mommy, when will Daddy wake up!” He asked innocently, not getting a response from his father.

Amy’s heart tugged at this but she kept on a fake smile placing a hand below her abdomen.

“He will Ozan, he will soon wake up and be with us!”

Ozan scowled and nodded his head looking at his father, Amy couldn’t trail him for long and last month she finally decided to let him see his father in whatever state he was.

“Why don’t you go outside and play your video game with Martha while I say a quick hello to your daddy!” Amy said, helping him down the bed as he walked out of the room and before the door could close she saw him running towards Martha.

Amy shook her head with a smile before sitting down on the chair and holding Daniel’s pale hand.

“He is becoming a handful these days you know, yesterday he just caused a flood in his room attempting to make a bubble bath!” Amy laughed, bringing his hand to her lips. She grew silent for a minute looking at his motionless face, just how much she wanted to see those eyes looking lovingly at her.

Tears accumulated at the brim of her eyes,

“Please come back Daniel, I can’t do this without you. I can’t look after our son alone and think there will be another one in a few months. What will we do without you!” Amy mumbled, laying her head down against his side.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds taking in the tonic of the silence, she gasped when she felt a weak grip on her hand.

“T-tesoro,” A croaked, raspy breath reached her ears, her head shooting up to see the same pair of grey-blue eyes blinking at her.

Her heartbeat palpated as a blissful squeal escaped past her lips,

“Danielll,” Instantaneous happy tears poured out of her eyes witnessing the wakefulness of the love of her life.

“Tesoro,” He breathed out in discomfort trying to adjust himself to the bright lights.

“Yes love, Oh my God Daniel, you woke up!” Amy squealed again, placing a kiss on the back of his hand, happy tears trailing down her cheeks.

“I thought I di…” She didn’t let him complete his words as she crashed her lips softly against his chapped ones, he grunted and tried to respond as she continued to deliver her emotions and deep feelings for him through that passionate act. She pulled back after a few seconds resting his forehead against his.

“You can’t leave me so easily Daniel Saritas, you are indebted to me and our love forever!” Amy recited through her breath, staring up at him.

“I didn’t plan on leaving you either, tesoro!” He whispered cupping the side of her face with his weak hand, trying to gain his strength.

“You know what I would be doing to you in the first place if you weren’t on this bed,”
