I was sitting in my room, thinking about my life and the phone call I got few minutes ago.

It was of my detective, he told me that Sofia's sudden vengeance and distemper was preplanned by a man.
He also told me that he misguided Sofia by giving her false information , and then he revealed a shocking truth that Sofia was a sister of Steph.

I realised why she was so abrupt because it was her matter, she suffered a lot because of me. I knew Steph lost his father when he was fifteen, from then he cared and raised up his baby sister. She was his star. He could do anything for her and then one day the shed of her brother vanished somewhere.

She suffered a lot because of me, even though I didn't kill him but that accident was my mistake.

Moreover, now Sofia was in hospital because of me, that man Mr. Gambino pointed me to his gunpoint and she came to save me.

It was her day, she was so happy and now she was fighting between life and death.

My detective also told me, Steph's accident was preplanned, Steph found out Mr. Gambino's identity that he was my mother's murderer, that's why he made brake fail and that truck was set for their murder.

I was so teary, why that obsessed man took my every happiness. First my mother, then Steph. He wanted me but couldn't successful.

Now Sofia was suffering because of me. I felt so guilty.

I was laying down taking taking a curved path, my emerald eyes were red and swollen, suddenly I realised that someone wrapped his hands around my waist , it was familiar.

" Alessandro, is it you?" I asked, while feeling his presence not bothering to look at him.

" Yes doll, are you sad, baby?" he said nuzzling his head onto my crook of neck.

" Alessandro it is not like you think." I stated controlling my emotions.

" Again lie, why can't you trust me baby?" He said kissing there on my nape.

" I trust you!" I said.

" If you, then look at me!" He stated.
" Alessandro I trust you but I don't trust myself, if I shed my tears. "

" So, sometime tears give satisfaction and peace of mind. I know what you are going through, I know I can't understand your feelings but I can understand you. "He said and kissed my cheek.

" Alessandro, why I create problems for everyone!"I exclaimed  on the verge of tears.

" Doll, you never do anything, why are you blaming yourself! "He said in a still position.

" Do you know, Steph's accident was preplanned. The one who pointed me at the gun point was the one who planned his accident because Steph knew the reality of my mother's murder. "I stated plainly, my tears were lost control few seconds ago.

" So, Donna it is not your mistake, it was his sin. Don't blame yourself." He stated, and snuggled me more into him.

I was liking his way how he was talking with me, it was so genuine and passionate.

" But all he want is my mother, and he can't get her so he want me, if it was about me then why too many lives suffered. " I said.

" Baby, we are linked together and it was preplanned in our lives by our creator." He said.

" Alessandro, I love you! " I wanted to feel his pool of words. He chuckled and whispered I love you too baby.

" Alessandro..! "

" Yes! "

" How is Sofia?"

"She is out of danger."

" Alessandro what about that conspirer, Mr. Gambino!"

" He is arrested under the charges of drug dealing, diamond smuggling, human trafficking and murders under the Us law by US police!" He said, it gave me relief. At last that person was out of my life now.

He snatched many valuable people and time with me. I could never forgive him. And his sinful life was now no more existed. I smiled.

I slept under the warmth of his arms, like a baby.

***

I reached to the hospital to see Sophia whether she was fine or not. Alessandro was with me.

My thoughts didn't comply my emotions, I thought I shouldn't feel guilty but mist of sorrow was surrounding me.

I entered inside her room, there Sim was feeding Sofia , the porridge, hospital food, yuck!!

She looked at me, I smiled nervously.

I rolled my eyes with guilt. I put a sluggish step.

" Sophia, how are you?" I said. Alessandro held my hand instantly and I smiled internally.

" I am fine." She said.
Simone greeted us, he gave us seat to sit. Confusion was widespreaded in air. We were not talking properly but I should take initiation. Alessandro and Simone went outside.

" Sophia, I am sorry. Just because of me you are here. I was supposed to be here." I started my rant.

She chuckled, " Donna it is okay!"

I kept quiet and bit my lips.
" Donna, I am also sorry for my drama that day." She stated.

" Why you are, it was a misunderstanding and moreover you lost your brother because of me. Because he was linked to me, he lost his life."

" It is okay, Donna. May be it was his fate! " She smiled forgiving and forgetting the past.

If everyone was so ready to forget and forgive then why couldn't I forget my haunted past, why I was holding it so rigidly.

***
After a whole week, I reached to study room to see Alessandro what he was doing, I smiled he was busy in his work.

We were normal but I couldn't step out from my haunting memories.

That day was sunday, we should spend time together but my stupid brain was not allowing me.

But I was happy because of his understanding. He respected my confusions, my thoughts. He himself said to me that I should take time to think and analyse what I wanted.

But now the time was more than three months , I had to take decision.

I looked at his working figure, his handsome greek god face, and muscular body was so tempting.

If it was infatuation!😔

I had to side my thoughts, I went from there.

Whenever I felt alone and confused, I decided to drive, I went some serene place and lost myself into it. It was worth after all, whenever I did that I met some new people and they gave me a new lessons of life.

But that day I decided to go shopping, alone, oh god! How weird I was. 🤣

I was in a simple streets of Rome, wandering here and there in a casual shops. 🛍️🛍️

It was new because I always went to some branded showrooms and VIP malls.

I looked at a yellow simple and elegent frock, then red top. Even though I should buy but I left all those dresses because I came only for window shopping. 😂😂

Common people were so lucky, they shouldn't thought about their status and class.

Just shut up Donna, had you live their life!? Everyone have their own problems, you are not alone.

I went to a footwear, there are so many sandals, slippers and so one. If I could wear those flat sandals, but my status didn't allow me.

Then I went to a food court, where I looked at simple and plane food. I smiled.

When I was roaming around in a crowdy area, I collided with someone, I somehow settled myself, and looked at the colliding figure.

It was a young girl, she smiled at me.

" Ma'am you here!" She squirelled in joy.

I was confused who was she.

" May I ask who are you?" I said.

" Ma'am you don't remember me, but I remember you. You are my role model. You give my life a direction. Today whatever I am is because of you." She smiled, who was she!?

Then she told me how I saved her from goons who was behind her with their disgusting thoughts.

Oh, she was that girl. I smiled after all someone got the worth of its life just because of me.

She asked if she could accompany me. I nodded.

" Ma'am you can tell me, what is bothering you because sometimes sharing can give you a solution." She said reading my worries, if it was too much revealing. God!

After lot of hesitation I told her, I loved a person and he left me, for his deep sleep. Then a person entered into my life giving the direction to my life, but I felt sinful and disloyal to my first love.

She was plane, she said, " Ma'am may be I can't understand what are you going through, moreover I never get into any relation but I can say you should let it be on the flow of life and time."

" Also, life never give you happiness, you should seek happiness, you should do what gave you peace, and Your first lover never wanted you to contemplate your whole life over him, if he was true for you. "

That girl gave me a right advice, all my thoughts were revolving around my whole days activity. How I rejected every casual thing which I liked.

I realised I was not doing good with Alessandro. He loved me, it was unfair to him. I loved him. Yes I loved him, it was not any infatuation.

***

I was eating my meel with that girl in that simple restaurant. It was indeed delicious. Why I always looked for brand and classy things.

Sometime simple things could also give you satisfaction. I smiled.

I went to those footwear and dress shops again, I bought all the material which I liked.

I understand it is not about what is right and wrong, it is about our peace.

Might be it was the solution of my situation, I should consider the option which could give me a satisfaction and happiness.

Steph never wanted me to contemplate over my life. I remember the day, when I was crying over my dead mother.

Flashback.

I was under the table crying. My tears were not stopping. I didn't know how Steph came to know about my whereabout, but when I looked his deep black eyes, I was quiet.

He came beside me, and lovingly said, " What happen baby, why my baby is crying?"

I didn't look at him because I was deep down wounded, I rolled my eyes. He smiled and kissed my cheek, " I love you baby, tell me why are you crying?"

" Steph, dad lied to me.." I said hiccuping while controlling my tears.

" Steph.. Mom never die of disease, she resisted that disease and was fit and fine, But she was murdered." I suddenly hugged him while wetting his shirts with the rain of my tears.

" Baby, don't worry, it is the past."

" But, steph someone snatched her from me. Why? why? " I said broken.

" Baby, it was past, I know it was so sinful, but you should move on. And revenge only burns you down." He said.

" Steph, please never leave me. "

" Baby, it is life and we can't control anyone, if by chance in future if I will not be there for you , then you will move on. Holding past is not solution, you have a great life ahead. "

Flashback End

I always remembered his words , that's why I never bothered to dig in the past, but it always pinched me that my mother would be with me if that person didn't kill her.

I always tried to remain happy without Steph so that he would rest in peace. I realised his words then, might be moving on was a good solution.

It was my life☺️!

***

I entered inside our penthouse, I looked his tensed figure, he was dialing someone.

When he looked at me, he immediately came to me and hugged me. It was night already.

I was so shocked what was the matter.

" Doll, thank god you came, do you know how worried I was!" He was tightening his grip onto me.

" Alessandro, I am sorry that I don't inform you my whereabout. I will never do such thing again." I said holding him tightly. My face was rested upon his heart.

" I love you doll!" He said, I looked him and then kissed his lips. We were lost into a passionate kiss.

After a whole five minutes, pulling out my lips I said," Alessandro, I took my time, and everything is clear into my head."

He looked at me and I smiled and said, " Alessandro, let's commence a new beginning with our union!"

He was looking me, it was so shocking and blissful. His whole face lit up, he suddenly started peppering kisses on my whole face, not leaving any inch.

" Now, you are mine for forever baby." He said and rotated me holding into his arms.

I was happy, that he was happy. If that was a love💕!

" Say.. You love me."

" I love you, I want you, Alessandro!" I said, and he kissed me again on my lips chewing them.

After that the whole night was a bliss, it was so passionate and lovely. That night witnessed our union, a union of two soul. It was my beginning forgetting every guilt and bad memories of my past.

We can run away from situation, we can run away from reality but we can't win over our destiny.

People say that we create our own destiny, even I tried the same, I immersed myself into work. I wanted to keep Stephano in my heart only, I wanted to live with the guilt but my destiny didn't want, even Steph too didn't want.

It let Alessandro entered into my life, it created circumstances from which I couldn't win. And at last I gave up.

I accepted my life, god gave us life to live joyfully, we shouldn't let our past effect our future. Our past can never judge us if we have the will to nourish our future.

Present is what the life is, we should make our present happy.

And about the question that my love for Stephano was faded then, no, it could never vanished, he was and will stayed inside my heart only.

Alessandro and Stephano were two distinct personality, I couldn't let them overlapped each other in my heart, our heart is so big, it never replace anyone but added more people with acceptance.

That was my life, my personality, my wishes and my everything, so that was my decision.

And in the future I also never regretted my decision ever. We lived together for forever till our last breathe.

" Alessandro promise me, we will stay together for forever." I said wrapping my hands around his waist.

Putting his hands on my back, he proclaimed with full of love and committment, " I will be there for together for forever."

" I love you, Alessandro. "

" I love you too, my emerald eyes doll. "

The End.
