When We Were Perfect - Chapter 137

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go ’til we are gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I’d hold to

In my life, we will always go on

We will stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on……….

“Daniel, if you don’t let me pull this blindfold off. I will go back!” A blindfolded Amy exasperated for the millionth time as Daniel guided her through the path careful of not making her stumble.

“Patience tesoro, you will love it,” Daniel chuckled at her eagerness before coming to the place.

“Why is it taking so long, if you are forgetting we have two miniatures waiting for us at home,”

“Those two miniatures are going to spend the night at Vahide’s mom house since its weekend tomorrow,”

“Whatever!” Amy grumbled crossing her arms over her seventh-month swollen belly, clearly, this pregnancy was by far the hardest for her. Maybe because this time, she was bearing two lives.

“Here we are!” Daniel announced removing her blindfold, she blinked twice adjusting to the light but as soon as her gaze landed on the sight, she gasped visibly and totally mesmerized by what she saw.

It was the same lake ground behind their school, an open tent made with silk clothes hanging around was there near the lake. In it was a soft mattress with pink sheets and cushions scattered everywhere. The whole place was lit in with fairy lights and there was an exquisite tray of food resting on the mattress along with white lilies.

Daniel came from behind wrapping his arms around her abdomen.

“Happy eighth Anniversary tesoro,” He sniffed her hair, nuzzling deep into her neck.

“Wasn’t it last week!” Amy muttered surprised, placing her hands over his arms.

“It was but we didn’t get to celebrate because Ayla was having a fever,” He replied, unwrapping his arms and guiding her to the tent, helping her sit down carefully.

“This is so beautiful Daniel,” Amy muttered with a smile gazing around.

Daniel wanted to laugh at her cuteness, the way she was seated cross-legged, hugging her belly and looking around like a child. The chubbiness in her cheeks due to the pregnancy weight just added a sparkle to her glow.

Her stomach grumbled at the same time making her sigh,

“These kids are always hungry, I tell you!” Amy grumbled, making Daniel laugh.

“This food is for you and my babies tesoro, Dive in!” He removed the lid of the tray as Amy’s eyes lit up and indeed she dived in the food.

Later, after getting done with dinner both of them were sitting enjoying each other’s company and the calm ambience when Daniel stood up extending his hand towards her.

“Would you like to have a dance, Mrs Saritas?” He asked, bowing his head.

“Here?” Amy giggled as he helped her rise to her feet.

Taking out a small remote from his pocket, he pressed a button and the song started.

“Fifty shades huh?” Amy pointed out, as the track ‘Love me like you do’ tuned in.

“Don’t you think this song is made for our love?” He asked, drawing her frame closer.

“How?” She quirked her brows.

You are the light

You are the night

You are the colour of my blood

“You were the light who saved me from that darkness when I was trapped in that classroom and you saved me!” He whispered in her ear making her remember their first meeting.

You are the cure

You are the pain

You are the only thing I wanna touch

Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

“My heart bled because of you but then you were the one to stop that bleeding and stitch those wounds ”

You are the fear, I don’t care

Cause I have never been so high

Follow me to the dark

Let me take you past our satellites

You can see the world you brought to life.

“I feared loving you but then it became suffocating, so I overcame my fear and loved you with every fiber of my body because no one could ever take my heart to the invisible heights of affection and desire. Let me make you go through the trailer of our life so you could see what brightness and contentment you brought to my dull and gloomy world!”

He took a step forward, his breath fanning against her neck as he slowly trailed his nose along her cheek, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

“To think how far we have come along, thanks for not giving up, thanks for trying tesoro,”

“Thanks for always loving me, despite whatever I did. Thanks for forgiving me and giving us a chance!” Amy muttered with a smile.

Daniel stared at her, a soft smile on his lips, his eyes wandering in hers as they danced.

“You are every reason, every hope and every dream I have ever had.”

She doesn’t know whether it was the intensity of his eyes or the severity of the love behind his words that filled up her eyes with tears.

Slowly, she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer.

“You taught me the true meaning of love, you became my everyone. You are what dreams are made of, a comforting best friend, a loving husband and a doting father.”

At this Daniel’s brims too filled with tears, as he leaned in, their lips almost touching.

“I love you, Daniel Saritas with whatever I have!”

“I love you too tesoro, a reality that I love you and a promise that I will love you forever!”

Then his lips landed softly on hers, closing the gap, sealing the vow and strengthening the knot for infinity and beyond.

Love is a force formidable than any other

It’s invisible and cannot be measured

Yet, it’s powerful enough to transform you at the moment

It’s the seventh sense that blinds all other senses.
