Christine, That's all I ask of you

Chapter 15: Hard To Forgive

   Erik was sitting in the house. He wasn't eating at all. He was working in a new symphony. Tired and hungry lied down on the sofa. Out there was pretty and romantic evening.
    Christine came back home  and saw Erik sleeping on the sofa. He looked like an angel... Her angel of music. ,,Erik... " she whispered. ,,Erik, wake up" he shaked him gently.  Erik smiled and didn't want to open his eyes. He just wanted to listen to her voice. Christine caressed his hair tenderly. She knew that he wasn't sleeping anymore and saw that he smiled. So she cuddled him a little. ,,Erik... I have some news for you",,Yes?" Erik smiled quietly enjoying her warm hug. Christine didn't want to spoil his smile. ,,I'll tell you in the morning" she whispered to him and continued cuddling him. 
   They both had a bath and lied down to their bed. Christine was thinking of Erik's parents. His father even could meet him and even accept him. But his mother wasn't able to accept him... Poor unhappy Erik... She hoped that he was happy now. He seemed to enjoy the marriage. He even didn't want to have children yet. He wanted to enjoy his happiness of the fresh marriage. She helt him tight and didn't want to let him go. No one can hurt him anymore...
    In the morning Erik woke up first. He saw his beautiful wife sleeping in his arms. He caressed her cheek carefully not to wake her up. He felt really happy. He was sure that it's the best time in his miserable life.  He closed his eyes again enjoying the warm hug of his wife. Christine woke up after a while and kissed his forehead. He opened his eyes. ,,Good morning, angel..." she whispered to him and kissed his lips softly. ,,What did you want to tell me yesterday?" he asked curiously. Christine took a deep breath. ,,I've meet your parents... " she whispered.  Erik shaked and looked at her in horror.  ,,What?!.." ,,Do you know that your father is a carver?" Christine tried to cheer him up. ,,No..I've never met my father" Erik admitted. ,,He has almost the same voice with you... You couldn't meet him. He left your mother before you even were born. He is ashamed of himself now.... He was young. And your mother tried to miscarriage a few times... I've also met her" Christine said quietly. Erik had tears in his eyes. ,,My mother?... How is she doing?" he asked instead of being still mad at her. ,,She got married and had four more children... The all are grown now..." after Christine said that Erik began to sob... He felt so miserable. So it was really just him who his mother hated and wanted to get rid of. Christine caressed his back gently.  ,,She told me that she wished you could forgive her... Because somewhere deep inside she loved you. She told me that... " Christine said. Erik looked at her. ,,Oh, my poor mother... I don't know if I am able to forgive her... If she didn't behave like that I wouldn't become a murderer... I wouldn't be abused..." ,,And also you'd never met me" she reminded him. ,,Oh, Christine... " Erik gave her a tiny smile and hugged her tightly. She was in his arms again. She was right. They would have never met if Erik didn't live under the opera... ,,No one is ever going to hurt you again..." Christine whispered to him.
