LAUREN
She was hugging Alex and both were sorting out everything with tears in their eyes while I was looking at the from a distance.
Even I wanted to join them and get my heavy heart lighten up but I didn’t felt right to spoil their moment at all. It didn’t fit right to me at that moment.
I joined them too after few time and made my heavy heart get light up with this simple confessing that I am sorry for what my family did with her but I still needs time to forget everything.
She nodded in understanding and we did our trio hug again. We cried for few more minutes and went to hall only to meet that at old lady whom she calls grandma.
The old lady said that Adam is coming today and the smile she had was just priceless. But just the mention of his name made my mood sour and I let her know earlier already that I don’t like him at all. So even after the change of my look she was fine.
Alice asked Alex and me to help her plan a surprise for Adam. I wanted to say no badly but the way she looked at me I couldn’t say no at all.
I know having grudges for him is wrong as he was not in fault at first place but still I can’t stop disliking him.

When Adam entered the mansion his eyes searched up for the one girl he loves the most and it was Alice but even after searching the whole mansion he couldn’t find her up.
Sadness and fear of losing her started engulfing him but Grandma advised him to go and get freshen up and he will get to know where his love is. A smile of relief came up to his lips and he headed to their room.
He thought she was in their room as it was the only place he didn’t checked and hoped for it to be true, But he frown seeing the vacant room saying she wasn’t here and he walked to washroom with a sad pout.
Adam badly wanted to see her as these days he only craved for having her. And now when he don’t gets to even see her he feels sad and bad. He wished silently that she don’t really punishes him up by not showing up for a day or days as she mentioned it in messages.
When he came out of shower he got a note stick on closet asking him to come in bedroom before changing with a small heart on it. He smiled and walked inside the bedroom hoping she is back but found a note with clothes on bed making him frown.
“Hey love!!!
I know you are dying to see me and so what I do but you know what. You made me very angry and pissed these past days so here you get punish for it with a small game.
Now, get ready in this white shirt and dark blue with faded white patch jeans and I know you look damn handsome in it. And then collect your phone as the clue will be texted to you for reaching me.
Waiting for you!!
Your love.”
He smiled while reading but frown thinking when is he finally going to meet her. He had a great patience but when it comes to her his patience loses.
“Do the fuck with game? I want you and only you badly”, he muttered.
He dressed up with the dress she set up for him and ran his fingers through his hair giving it a messy look. While keeping two button down of his shirt and sprayed some vintage cologne on himself.
The moment he took his phone in his hand the screen glowed brightly and he smiled seeing her name popping up on screen.
“Don’t you dare to trace my location coz if you try I’ll hide myself from everywhere and you will need to wait more and more. So better you don’t”, he scratch his back of neck reading the text with her threat.
“Girl what are you up to. Stop playing the game nah… I want to see you. I swear I won’t dare to ignore you again from next time”, he texted back.
“The game will be carried on. So shut up and don’t spoil the moment. Now walk the place where you lost your sanity and the lust and desires got high for first”, his phone glowed again and he frowned after reading.
“I hate solving puzzle. Why can’t she just tell me where is she. Ughh.. should take someone’s help and ask where I can find her”, he thinks to himself speaking out loud and his phone glowed up.
“Don’t act smart of taking help from someone. Do by yourself if you love me”, he smiled and mumbled saying ‘I love you more than anything and whatever you say is my command. Fine you won girl’.
Adam tries to think what place make him lose his sanity and desire of lust took over him. He thought deeply and all he remember was their bedroom and he sighed thinking he was already in bedroom so it can’t be.
After some more thinking he came to the conclusion recalling the word first and he got where he needs to go. Running out of the room like a mad man and avoiding the odd stares his staff passed him he went to balcony thinking she will be there. But all he sees is a flower bouquet it had purple, pink, yellow, white flowers smelling like her with a card in it.
As for him she smells like beautiful flowers which makes him attracted like a bee to flower for nectar. And for him her self was full of nectar and her every inch was the best thing to taste for him.
“Our love is like these beautiful flowers different colors of our is like a complement for each other making us look perfect even with our flaws.
Now, go downstairs and you will get your next clue. But don’t forget to take the flower baby”
He picks the flowers and goes downstairs with carrying a ear to ear grinning smile with his heart fluttered with happiness.
“You are driving me crazy with this surprise love. The beast inside me is getting damn impatient with every passing second more and more”, he says to himself and reach downstairs.
Alex and grandma was standing there with a red rose bouquet and a small note carrying in their hand with a teasing smile. He blushed while taking it and reads the card again.
“Your my love of life and I love the color red you get on your cheeks when I tease or seduce you.
The color of love and blood is all red and so what you need to be showered by red roses.
Thanks for coming in my life”, he mumbled in his mind saying ‘Thanks to you for coming in my life’.
“So here you go with this beautiful red flowers and now follow the flower petals where it takes you.
Don’t worry if it gets end coz then you will get a next clue.
Just few more steps love.”
His lips curved into a wide smile and his cheeks got heated up with the ticklish sensation inside him and he looks at them.
When he saw Alex first he was confused but then he assumed everything has solved up between them and he accepts him as her sister’s love partner. Both of them showed him way which goes to his backyard and he looked at them again for assurance.
Grandma winked and Alex giggled looking his face. He scratch the back of his neck and and went towards the way he was directed.
While walking on the rose petals he was getting the way far special feeling which she was giving him with her surprise. He never imagined in his life that once he will be treated like this by someone in his life.
He never expected himself to be so special for someone so much that she will be preparing a surprise like this for him. Nor he ever imagined that someone will be making him feel butterflies, so much each and every time.
It was the best feeling for him which is making him fly in cloud nine. And now all she wants is to carry her in his strong arms and kiss her like there is no tomorrow.
“Where are you baby I am dying to have you now”, he wince.
The rose petals walk way took him to the large backyard with large old trees and small grasses all over around. There was no sign of her and the petals were about to end.
His eyes looked here and there and in a fraction of second a arrow landed near him on the bark of tree. He almost got a small heart attack and was about to get angry when a paper heart with the arrow tied with rope caught his attention.
Taking the arrow out of the tree bark and taking the paper in his hands he read it.
“It’s me and sorry for scaring you.
This is the last clue and then I will be visible to your hazel orbs.
Now, turn straight and follow where the ropes take you tied on this arrow.
I love you!!
Come fast baby.”
“I love you too”, he mumbled and followed the rope.
It was like eternity he was walking but no sign of her was there. The sun was all set now and the stars were dangling up on the sky making the moment perfect for them.
It was like even twinkling stars were going to witness and admire their love today night.
The moment he used to get stop a jerk could be feel in the rope and he smilingly walked again. The distance was small but his impatient eyes made it look like eternity for him.
Finally, he reached the place and saw the candles was kept in ground lighten up in glass bowls in a heart shape around the support. The fairy lights were hanging with bamboos support and a white cloth wrapped around every cloth.
Few red rose petals were scattered in rectangle shape and above it was written ‘Will you marry me?’ with white rose petals.
The words written on it made his heart beat a skip and he felt his hear drop down his stomach with eyes all ready to pour down. His mind was numb always getting into a deep shock and palms got sweaty.
Alice was on her knees with a ring in her hand wearing a black sleevless knee-length bodycon dress with her long hairs out curl and open. Seeing her like that he felt his whole body get numb not due to nervousness but with a surprising shock.
Never in his dream he thought she was going to propose him today and these all clues and shits which were making him impatient, restless and annoyed seemed damn worth it for him now.
His lips were sealed as he don’t know what to say her now. He was jello and stared at her with unbelievable look while her eyes were looking at him with hopes willing to hear only ‘YES’ from him.
Everyone from family came behind him and was damn happy and was impatiently waiting for him to say yes and wear that ring. The hands which were now holding her given bouquet was about to fall but he still tried to hold him just because it was given by her.
He heard everyone cheering up and asking him to go and say yes but his legs were all rooted. Alice was loosing her shit seeing him not move. She was about to get up from her knees with sadness in her eyes of getting rejected but she paused.
Adam ran to her seeing her with sad and teary eyes. He didn’t wanted her to misunderstand his action as it was just something big for him to digest.
She looked at him when he sat on his knees getting on her level with left hand extended. She smiled and the lone tear dropped her eyes unwantingly.
The somewhat sad, disappointed and rejected tear changed into a happy one. She seemed like crying and laughing at the same time and it sounded like that too. As her eyes were piercing tears and her core was happy laughing from all her heart.
She slid the ring in his ring finger and Alex and Addy burst the confetti making her believe it is not a dream and reality.
The happiness both of them had was priceless. Adam realized he is not having a ring at all for her. As the one he got as a gift was all a diamond necklace with Addy’s help.
His eyes looked down with guilt when grandma passed him a red velvet box. His eyes looked at his grandma and then at the box and again at her.
She eyed him to the box and he took it in his holding the bouquet with his elbows help. He opened and saw his mother’s blue diamond ring and he looked back at his grandma with teary eyes and lips gasped in Awe struck.
“Your mother always wanted her daughter-in-law Alice to wear this as she always eyed on it. And see her dream is coming true as today you are officially making her yours.”
Tears welled up in their eyes as the feeling of emptiness was somehow started filling up. They were both orphans in a simple term if they didn’t had grandma as their guardian. But we all know the place which parents holds up can never be replaced by anyone.
Taking a hard suck breath she forwarded her hand and he look at her taking the ring from box and placed on her finger. She was grinning now and so what he was doing matching her smile.
She showed up her ring to everyone with pride saying finally she is his and he is only her. They both stood up while Alice was still on cloud nine and was squealing, jumping and swirling with happiness.
The hazel orbs was staring her with awe thinking how in this cruel world which took everything from him gave her as a noble gift for him.
Today, he was feeling completed again and the thought she was his made him more happy.
He forwarded the rose bouquet towards her and she paused. She looked at them and then at him for a minute before grabbing it giggling like a 4 year kid.
Her beauty and smile was something which make him fall more hard then what he was already in. She again danced in happiness and hugged everyone except him intentionally while he frowned.
Alice looked at him and then asked everyone to go back mansion with her as she is damn hungry. He was dumbstruck with her words but when he saw her smirking he understood what she was trying to do.
She turned back and winked at him with pouted lips in a way to kiss him and left. He walked behind them with a teenager smile and butterflies in his stomach.
