💞Anel’s POV💞

I was about standing up too when Liam surprised everyone by pulling Artist Shaw into a hug.

What!
Am i starting to see wrongly?
It’s real!
Liam is hugging artist Shaw!
Wow!

I glanced at everyone’s face one after the other and surprise was written all over.
Artist Shaw looked surprised also but he hugged Liam back and smiled broadly.

Dan waved at me in greetings and i waved back.
I smiled and gave a small wave Mike who was grinning, obviously about to start another trouble,i glanced at Ana and saw her grinning too.

Liam disengaged from the hug and then turned to Dan’s biological Mum.
“Ellen is this you?” He asked.
“Yes Liam,how have you been?” She asked.
Liam nodded without saying a word.
“Hi Laura” Liam waved at Mike’s mum who looked surprised as she waved back.

“Dan how are you?” Liam asked him.
“I’m fine Liam” Dan said before glancing back at me.
I shrugged.
“Hey little boy” Liam said to Mike who hasn’t stopped grinning.

“Have your seat everyone” He said and i quickly adjusted and signalled Dan to sit beside me.
He did.

“Dan, who do you think is on that couch?” I asked in a whisper, pointing to the couch Mil was seated.
“Huh?” He asked and glanced at the couch i was pointing at.
“Milana Sydney!” He exclaimed in surprise.

“Hi Daniel” Mil smiled.
“OMG!” He exclaimed in surprise.
“Mike it’s Milana Sydney” He said to Mike who already jumped out of the couch to go hug her.
Mil laughed.

Dan also stood up and quickly went to hug Mil.
“How are you?” Milana asked cheerfully.
“I’m so happy right now, i love seeing you in movies” Mike smiled.
“Me too” Dan said. “You’re our favorite actor” he added.
“Really? I’m glad to be” She smiled.

“You look more beautiful in reality” Mike said.
“Awwn thanks darling”
“I’m glad to meet you” Dan said happily.
“I’m glad to meet you too honey” Mil said and glanced at me, giving me a ‘i-like him’ look.
I smiled.

I noticed he’s yet to see fallen angels.
He’s just gonna scream his head off.

“Come sit here” Ana called on to Mike, pointing beside her.
Mike quickly raced over and i chuckled knowing that in a matter of minutes, they’re gonna start quarrelling.
“We are gonna chat more later huh?” Mil said to the happy Dan.
He nodded and started walking back to me.

“Dan! Fallen angels” I said pointing behind him.
“Huh” He widened his eyes before turning.
“OMG!” He exclaimed in shock.
“Fallen angels!” He screamed before rushing into their open arms.

I smiled as he hugged them tightly.
Artist Shaw, Dan’s biological Mum and Mike’s Mum also stood up and bowed in greetings..
“It’s so good to see you again Migvin” Artist Shaw smiled.
“You’re the famous artist right?” Vinnie asked.
“Yes Vin” artist Shaw said.
“OMG! I never knew our second lucky fan was the artist i love so much. I love your artworks,come here for a hug” Vinnie said.
“Thanks so much” Artist Shaw smiled and went to hug them.

“And this is your son Dan?” Miguel asked.
“Yes” Artist Shaw said proudly and then glanced at Dan who didn’t want to leave fallen angels side .
“Wow,you raised a handsome boy” Miguel said.
“I’m glad to have him as Anel’s boyfriend” Vinnie smiled and i blushed a little.

“Boyfriend?” Artist Shaw asked.
“Yes Dad,I’m now dating Anel” Dan smiled.
“Wow!” Artist Shaw exclaimed and glanced at me.

I covered my cheeks with my palms and sighed.

“Liam has something to say,we can continue this merry later” Miguel said and everyone sat in silence.
“Mary” Liam called loudly.
“Yes sir” Mary answered from her room.
“Please go fetch granny upstairs” He said.
“Okay sir” She said.

I already went to check on granny when i got back,she’s a little bit ill,the doctor said she’s gonna need a lot of rest so she has been in her room.

“Anel,place a call to your Dad,tell him he needs to be here now.” Liam said.
“Okay Liam” I said and collected my phone from Ana.
I placed a call to dad.

📞Hi Dad” I said.

📞Hey princess,how are you?

📞I’m fine dad,I’m back.

📞 Really?

📞Yes Dad and Liam wants to see you right now.

📞Ohh.. okay I’m on my way.

📞 Okay Dad. Bye.

📞Bye princess.

I disconnected the call and gave my phone back to Ana.

“He’ll be here soon” I said.

**

Everyone was seated in silence waiting for Liam to speak up.
Ana and Mike has been sent upstairs.
I’m glad Dad came with Claire.
I miss her so much.

“Tam came to me…” Liam started.
“Huh?” Granny gasped. “Tamara came to you? Where’s she? Where’s my daughter?” She asked.
“She appeared to me in my dream” Liam said,tears filling his eyes.

My throat tightened and tears threatened to come.

“Bryan,i hated you for the past sixteen years, thinking you are to blame about Tam’s death. She appeared in my dream overnight just because of Bryan,she wants me to drop the hate i had for you,she wants me forgive you,she wants me to move on,she wants me to stop blaming you. Bryan,she still loves you even in death!” Liam cried loudly.
I also allowed my tears to roll out freely.

Granny started sobbing and Vin did a good job in consoling her.

There was complete silence except the sound of granny’s sob,Liam was crying silently and i also made sure my tears didn’t make a sound.

I glanced at everyone and noticed how teary their eyes were.
Artist Shaw couldn’t hide his tears any longer.

“I love Mara,i love Mara so much but there was no feelings attached. Even if you won’t blame me for her death anymore,I’ll blame myself cause she did everything for me. I..i miss her so much” Artist Shaw said in tears.
“If there’s anyone to be blamed about Mara’s death,then it’s me! I caused everything. I made her do it,she’s the one suffering for my disobedience. I regret everything. Please I’m so sorry” Ellen cried.

“I believe no one is to be blamed. Love clouded her sense of reasoning. She’s someone ought to be praised cause not everyone can do what she did in the name of love. Mara knew the true meaning of love” Miguel said.
“I wish i met her while she was alive,i only spoke to her through call and i took a liking to her” Vinnie wiped her tears .

“Mara is someone i can boldly say was one of the nicest people on earth,she has a heart golden heart and she’s never capable of hurting people..i..i miss her” Mike’s Mum said hugging the throw pillow tightly to her chest obviously trying to stifle a cry.

Mil consoled me by patting my back,she was in tears also.

“Bryan,I’m sorry i sent you out of the hospital after Tam’s death” Liam said.
“No,it’s fine. I understood your mood at that time” Artist Shaw said.
“Was that the reason you didn’t attended her funeral?” Liam asked.

“No,i would have risked anything to be in Mara’s funeral but i.. i stabbed myself after you sent me out of the hospital” Artist Shaw said and everyone gasped.

What!
I glanced at Dan and he nodded.
Why didn’t he tell me?

“Y..you stabbed yourself?” Liam asked in surprise.
“Yes Liam, i did. I felt so guilty about Mara’s death so i thought of also dieing, i stabbed myself Immediately i got home.
I was admitted in the hospital for a week,i was unconscious for that whole week,i finally opened my eyes and was ready to come right away but i wasn’t allowed to cause my wound was still sore and i might hurt more. That didn’t stopped me from sneaking out of the hospital the next day, i got to your house and was told you relocated,i got to Kelly’s house and was told he didn’t want to see me. I searched for you till i could no longer.
Mara’s death affected me deeply that i became a loner while studying arts in the college my parents forced me to go. I never wanted to get married until i met Laura again…my guilt for Mara’s death is still buried in my heart” Artist Shaw said sadly.

Damn!
He went through all that?

“Bryan I’m so sorry for refusing to see you then..i was hurt by Mara’s death and i didn’t even cared about anyone at that time. I’m so sorry” Dad pleaded.
“It’s fine Kelly,i understand how you felt that time” Artist Shaw said.

“OMG… Bryan I’m so sorry,i never knew you went through that,i thought you deliberately missed her funeral” Liam said obviously feeling bad.
“It’s fine Liam,it’s perfectly fine. Anyone would have reacted the way you did then.” Artist Shaw said.

“Now,I guess there’s a peace among everyone?” Miguel asked and we all nodded.
I cleaned my tears and sniffed.
“We will all need to go visit Mara at columbarium tomorrow” Vinnie said and everyone nodded.

“Please let’s all share a hug” Liam said and everyone stood on their feet and then embraced in a warm hug.
It felt so good and my heart danced freely.

Dan smiled at me and i smiled back.

“Look,Mike they are all hugging” we heard Ana said.
“No way! How could they hug without us,let’s go join them” Mike said and everyone turned to look at them as they both climbed down from the stairs,and then rushed to join in the hug but they were so short that they could only hug our legs.

Everyone laughed hard and i must confess..Liam looks more handsome when laughing. I hope he’s gonna stick to this jovial mood.
I feel damn good seeing smile on everyone’s face.

Claire picked up Ana and Mil picked up Mike to enable them join in the hug.
Dan secretly blew kisses at me and i giggled.
“I saw that” Mil whispered to me and i blushed.

Everyone disengaged from the big hug after some minutes.
Dad went to hug artist Shaw and they both exchanged pleasantries and started chatting like the long time friends they were.

“Mum,i missed you” Laura said to granny.
“Oh..my Laura,come here for a hug dear” granny smiled and Laura quickly went over.

“Damn! Ellen,you’ve grown so beautiful” Liam said.
“Thank you” Dan’s mum smiled.
“I hope you don’t mind if i make you my concubine?” He asked.
“Ugh! You dare not!” Mum snarled and everyone laughed.

Everyone was chattering happily when Mil dragged Dan and i to a couch.
Dan seems so happy to be around her.
Who wouldn’t be happy around Milana Sydney?

“I can’t believe I’m surrounded by celebrities” he smiled happily.

“So you both should gist me about everything that happened during your summer camp and you mustn’t leave out any part” She said..

**

Everyone was seated round the dining room for dinner..
We had to add extra chairs to the dining chairs cause it wasn’t enough for everyone.

Liam actually told everyone to stay for dinner .

Almost everyone commended Mary on how delicious the meal is.
I’m damn sure she’s gonna smile to sleep this night, she’s also seated with us at the dining.

“Fallen angels” i called breaking the silence.
Everyone turned to me,i glanced at Dan and he urged me to go ahead.
“How did you get ..this..i mean our necklaces?” I asked and they glanced at each other and then smiled.

“These necklaces has saved us multiple times, whenever water touches it,it shines brightly instead of getting rust” Dan said and unhooked his necklace,he made some drops of water touch it and the necklace started sparkling.. those who were not aware of it gasped in surprise.

“Well…we actually made the necklaces from the golds in our magical garden” Vinnie said.
“Magical garden?” Everyone chorused in surprise except Mil who continued eating.
I noticed she was the only one that was not moved about the whole thing,her parents would have told her everything already.

“Yes,we have a magical garden in Australia, where the trees are golden, beautiful lake and waterfall, smooth grass and colourful flowers with beautiful butterflies” Mig smiled.

“Oh..my..”
“God!” Dan completed it for me and i giggled..

“We don’t usually disclose it but i guess it’s because we’re among our love ones” Vin smiled.
“I would really love to visit the garden” I said.
“Me too” Dan said.
“We too” Mike and Ana chorused.
I’m surprised they haven’t quarrelled yet.

“Well, we’ll be glad to show everyone of you our magical garden but I’m afraid most of you won’t want to leave anymore” Mig said and we chuckled.
“You will all have to go back to Australia with us then” Vinnie said.
Everyone cheered happily.
“I can’t wait!” I grinned.

Dan gave me a cute wink and i almost drooled.
This guy is driving me crazy.

😍😍😍

I sat in the living room with Mary and Mil after everyone left.
Others have gone to sleep.

Mil is on a call.

I smiled and licked my lips, remembering the lingering kiss Dan gave me before he left.
He’s just so sweet.

“I can’t believe I’ll be sitting on the same couch with Milana Sydney” Mary whispered to me and i smiled.
“Plus,she’s so humble” Mary added.

“Thanks Mary” Mil said and Mary gasped a little.
“You heard me?” She asked and Mil nodded.
“It’s fine,be free to relate with me as you would to any other person okay?” Mil said.
“Thanks Milana,I’m so happy to be here with you..it means a lot to me” Mary grinned.

“I’m honored” Mil said.
“Can i hold your hand?” Mary asked.
Mil laughed..”Ofcourse” she said and stretched her hand to her.
Mary held it, looking so happy like she was holding a god.

I smiled.

“Now,let’s have girls to girls talk” Mil said.

Good!

🖤{Next day}🖤

We all walked slowly into the columbarium with flowers in our hands.
Everyone that was present in the house yesterday was also present here.

We stood in front of mum’s space,her large portrait was placed on the her cremated remains.
Tears slowly dropped from my eyes.
My mum was so beautiful.

“Everyone will have to say some words to her, i will start” Mig said.
“It’s so sad you had to leave,Rest in peace Tamara” He said and dropped his flower before stepping back.
“I wish i met you while you were alive. I took a liking to you even without seeing you. May you rest in perfect peace Mara ” Vinnie said and also dropped her flower.
She wiped her tears before stepping back.

“My sweetheart,my dear daughter. I miss your presence,i miss your smile,i wish you didn’t leave that soon. I love you my damsel but I guess God loves you more. Rest in peace Mara” granny said in tears,also dropping her flower.

“Tam,you know how deep my love is for you right? then why did you leave so soon,I’m not healed of your death yet,your absence in my life is affecting me deeply,the pain of your death is still in my heart. I love you sis and i will forever do” Liam said with a sad smile,he dropped his flower.

“Mara,you became the younger sis i never had,i still remember how we both cook in the kitchen,how you normally make me laugh. So many things between us,the memories i had with you can never be forgotten.Look im going to have a baby soon and i promise to name the baby after you its a girl. I still love you Mara and i pray your gentle soul rest in peace” Mum wiped her tears and bent to drop her flower.

“Mara,the only best friend i had,my funny friend,my beauty queen,fatty Mara,I’m sorry about your death. Rest in peace Mara and just know that i love you and I’ll forever do” Artist Shaw said,he dropped his flower gently and tears dropped from his eyes at the same.

“Tammy, you were so beautiful that i fell in love with you at first sight,even though you never loved me as much as i loved you,I’m still glad you made me the father of Anel,your death was painful,you still reside in my heart and i don’t think i can ever forget about you. I love you Tammy and pray for you soul to rest in peace” Dad said.

Everyone left repeated the process till it got to me,i was the last.
I wiped my tears with handkerchief Dan passed to me and then cleared my clogged throat.
I sniffed;

“Mum,you brought me into this world while you were dieing,you went through pains just because of me,you were determined to make me live after you were gone. I loved you right from birth,i grew up without seeing you but my love for you never ceased. Even in death,you protected me and you stood by me when i needed you most, you’re the best Mum in the world and i will always love you. I miss you Mum,may your soul rest in peace” I said in uncontrollable tears.

I dropped my flower.
Everyone bowed and slowly we all stared heading out.
I took one last look at my mum’s portrait.

“I love you mum” I screamed in tears and got down on my knees.
