After Raol left, Rhehan happily started climbing the stairs again. Though, the book being stolen was a bad news for all of them, but Rhehan was nevertheless happy, to have another member added in his family, a younger brother.
He now felt like this secure man, who always had his family"s support. He quickly dialled Elizabeth"s number and halted, sitting down on the stairs itself.
"Hi baby! How are you!" Came Elizabeth"s sweet and loving voice.
Rhehan smiled hearing his mother"s voice but his throat automatically choked up a little. "Mom....."
"What happened sweety?! Did you fight yet again with Rose!? You both fight a lot!!" Elizabeth asked hearing the boy"s gloomy voice.
"Haha! No mom! We are fine. Much happier staying together finally." Rhehan smiled, hearing his mother"s concerned voice.
"Ahh! That is lovely. I am so happy for you both." Elizabeth cheered relaxed a bit, hearing Rhehan"s happy voice.
Rhehan looked down at his hands and the crybaby"s eyes were once again teary. "Umm...Mom! I never got to say this to you, but thank you for everything. I love you a lot!" Rhehan pursed his lips.
There was a complete silence for a few seconds as if, now Elizabeth was also struggling for words. "Sweetheart! I am your mother. You do not have to thank me."
"No! No! Infact I am sorry. You waited all these years for me, to get married, and I was too selfish towards you all. I got married in a hast and deprived you all, from witnessing it!" Rhehan sniffed his nose a bit, trying to collect his emotions.
"Sweetheart! We waited for the perfect time, because we love you. We akready knew everything! But when you got married, at that point, you were in a different state of mind. Don"t blame yourselves for that. Infact we are happy that you both are married!" Elizabeth tried to console the boy.
"Mom!? How would you adults like to plan a grand wedding for me and Rose next month?" Rhehan smiled happily, eagerly waiting for his mother"s response.
"What!!!??? OH MY G.o.d!!! Arghhh!!!!!" Elizabeth shreiked in joy over the speaker. "Really Rhehan!! Are you really serious? You both want to have a public wedding!!??"
"Yes mom! We want to get married in a proper way, in the presence of our entire family and friends too!" Rhehan held the phone at a distance, due to Elizabeth"s loud shreik.
"Oh! My G.o.d!! I am dreaming already!!! That will be the most grand and royal wedding, anybody would have seen. Gos.h.!.+ I gotta check the venues hurriedly. And your dresses too. Ahh!! I have to call up the best hotels!! So..So much work to do." Elizabeth started planning the things in her mind already.
"MOM! Mom! Do it all after your wedding. The bride should not stress herself out!" Rhehan smiled lovingly.
"Stress!? This is the best wedding surprise for me Rhehan!! It has totally brought a glow on my face, equal to my hundred facials!" Elizabeth exclaimed loudly, patting her cheeks.
"Haha! And yes mom. The destination for our honeymoon is changed. We are going to Greece now. Raol suggested it for security reasons. Tell my father and mom in law too!" Rhehan chuckled notoriously.
"Haha! Sure I will let your dad and mother in law know too. They are with me right here, jumping like crazy, to the news of your wedding!" Elizabeth chuckled looking at jumping and twisting Xio Lee, holding Lillian"s hands.
After Rhehan hung up the call, he looked at his watch. "Ohh! Look at the time. Rose must be sleepy!"
He walked up the stairs, thinking about what to talk to Rose. Should he tell her about the book? Should he tell her, that whatever dreams she is having are all true. Also, that the book has been stolen either by Augus or by Horus himself?? He then imagined his condition in this situation. "Never mind. All this can wait till my honeymoon and mom"s wedding! I don"t want to spoil it for her!!"
He sprinted up the stairs and saw, there was complete silence outside Rose"s room. He slowly opened the door and saw that the lights were turned off and the girl had fallen asleep on her bed. She had wrapped a satin bed comforter on top of herself and her head was burried inside the fluffy pillow.
Rhehan tip toed close to her and bent down on his knees, looking at her peaceful face. "Sorry my princess! I got really late! I love you loads. Good night!" Rhehan kissed the girl"s forehead and lightly caressed her head, smiling and looking at her. "You look so beautiful, while you are sleeping!"
Rhehan kissed her cheek again and again, and swept aside her beautiful hair locks falling on her cheek. " Have sweet dreams!"
He quickly stepped out of the room, not making any noise and slowly closed the door behind him. He wanted to cuddle with the girl so much, but he was yet not sure about it. She had clearly told him, that they were not supposed to sleep on the same beds. So he sadly walked inside his room and stripped down his clothes.
He quickly wore his night - shorts and climbed on the bed, covering himself with a comforter. He was thinking about several things now, which Raol had told him, untill he dozzed off to sleep, once again having the same dream.
Few minutes later...
Rhehan"s room"s door flew open and somebody slowly walked inside his room, slowly closing the door behind him. He looked at the peacefully sleeping man and tip toed upto him, gazing at his face. He bent down a little and smiled looking at him, amidst the darkness. Only the light of the full moon, outside the window, had lightened up the room a little.
The man suddenly bent down a little more, when Rhehan woke up with a jolt, about to blow a punch on the man"s face. "Who is it!!?" Rhehan looked carefully at the figure and his hand immediately backed off. "Rose? What the h.e.l.l. Why are you coming inside the room like an intruder!!! You scared the s.h.i.+t out of me, I was about to almost hit you."
Rose who was now rubbing her eyes sleepily groaned hearing the man"s voice. "Stop shouting Rhehan!! Why did you not wake me up!? Yawwwn!!" She was dressed in a white satin, knee length night gown.
"Sweetheart you were sleeping so peacefully! I did not want to disturb you!" Rhehan looked at the sad and now pouted face of the girl.
" But I want to sleep with you!" Rose quickly climbed the bed, walking like a dog towards the other side of the bed, on her hands and knees.
"You do?" Rhehan looked at the girl in surprise.
*Yawn* The girl did not reply and dragged herself close to Rhehan. She covered herself with the same comforter, which Rhehan was using and placed her head on his chest.
Her one leg was now placed on the man"s legs and her arm was on top of his waist. Soon her breath grew even and she dozed of within seconds.
Rhehan chuckled happily looking at the girl" face. " Probably, I was overthinking earlier!" He quickly gave a light peck to the girl and encircled his arms around her. He closed his eyes, still smiling out of happiness amd dozzed off, having the most peaceful and satisfying night of his life!
