Chapter 72 VICTORY
My eyes searched for Laurent. I saw him sitting and sobbing in both his palms. His shoulders go up and down and I think he was having a hard time.
I approached him with my weakening body. When he saw a foot stop below him he looked up. I could clearly see his joy, love and amazement. He hugged me quickly as we both cried. We embraced each other tightly.
Gradually, the environment was becoming clearer. The morning was coming, the king of the sun was rising at the same time as Laurent and I had a new life. New life of being together, forever. No fear. No worries.
We are free to love each other and create a family. I won at the culture of their family. I’m so proud of myself that even though I doubted, I gulped the fear and fought for my love.
He removed the hug. He quickly picked up the medical kit.
“Where’s the pain? Baby? Is our baby okay? Are you okay?” He cried with his heart out. His hands were shaking as he got the medicine kit, he was trembling due to the overloading happiness and worriedness mixed together.
The pain in my body disappeared, it was replaced by joy. I was so happy. I could feel my love for him. He made me sit on the chair that he was sitting before, down to his knee and still in tears healing my wounds. I knew that he was feeling so hurt right now because of seeing me like this.
“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Do you need something? Water?” He wiped the tears with the back of his palm. It was funny that the coolest guy I had ever met was like a child in front of me who could not stop crying.
When he finished treating me, he hugged me again. Too tight. I could feel that he did not want to separate our bodies forever. As if he wanted to stay like this for a lifetime.
“Thank you that you and our baby come back to me. You’re safe. You’re brave.” My clothes were almost wet because of her tears. We spent a few minutes in that position. Loud crying and hugging each other tightly. With the intensity of what I went through, it was difficult to calm down immediately, my fears and anxieties gradually disappeared as he stroked my hair and kissed my forehead. I could hardly shed tears because of what had happened.
He removed his hands on me. He knelt at the level of my stomach and then he hugged me there. “Are you having a hard time, huh? I’m sorry, my child,” he spoke to my stomach as if he could see our baby.
He will be a good father. I can see that.
I could not quite imagine that this would happen the day I first bumped into his wide chest. I did not think there was such a family like this. I thought it was hard to reach him but that thought was true because of the height of the mountain I went through, bloody battles, millions of tears of pain and most of all longing just to marry him and be part of his family.
I didn’t think about what kind of family he had as long as the only thing in my heart and mind was that I loved him. Now we can start as a happy family. If I go back in time he will still be the one I choose to love. No matter how hard it is. Even if I went through the Patunay over and over again I wouldn’t mind. I can only prove that my love for him is real and sincere.
Laurent hugged me again and a kiss bathed my whole face. I cling as I accept it all. One kiss was enough but when he bathed me with a kiss on my forehead, nose, cheeks and repeated kisses on my lips I felt no more pain.
“ANMELA ERIS VELASCO,” The whole Baider clan said.
They stood in front of Laurent and me. Ariya, Lauressa, Resttan, Cristoph, Anton, Leroi, Lucio, Semon and that was the only time I saw Laurent’s mommy and daddy smiling at us.
They all bowed, even Laurent. “ANMELA ERIS VELASCO BAIDER, WE ARE ACCEPTING YOU IN OUR FAMILY!” Loud, respectful and bowed they said simultaneously. Tears welled up in my eyes at the sheer joy I was feeling filled my chest.
This is the end of the suffering and the start of never ending happiness with Laurent-with his family.
They accept me, Laurent and I can get married. I caressed and caressed my stomach as I was staring at them with my full smile.
I love you, baby…
“Thank you,” I told them with a smile. They both looked up and stared at me in shock. They approached me one by one.
“You’re really an idol. You just make us sleep even though our mind was just programmed to kill you. You’re great, Anmela,” Leroi said while smiling widely.
That touched my heart. When I met them I immediately felt nervous and scared but now I feel calm and happy.
Leroi hugged me, followed by Anton, Lucio and then Cristoph. They all approached me with a big smile and acceptance.
“Laurent, where shop did you order Anmela? Order me,” Cristoph jokes, glancing at Laurent.
Laurent grinned at him with full confidence. “Sorry, out of stock she’s only one.” Laurent laughed. The happiness was exposed as if this was the best day of his life. “Actually, can you imagine she’s brave enough to flirt with me.” My cheeks warmed as I remembered my eagerness to make him love me. “She courted me.”
“Woah! I like Anmela so much!” Lucio said laughing.
They have no wives yet because of their deadly Patunay.
Who would dare to risk the life of the person they love?
Next, Resttan came over and wrapped his arms to me very tightly. My forehead furrowed as the few minutes had passed, he did not remove his hug to me. I felt Laurent’s hands separating us.
“Hey! You’re over hugging!” Laurent had a bad look at Resttan.
Resttan laughed out loud. “Fuck you! It’s your fault!”
“My fault?” Laurent asked crookedly.
“Fuck you! You’re the one who said to kiss her on the forehead. I’m taking care of your so-called wife! I can’t sleep without being shouted at by her! I serve as her husband. Then, why are you expecting me? To not develop feelings for her? What are you!” Resttan growled.
“Who told you to be a good actor?” Laurent was annoyed as he took me, pulled me away from Resttan.
