The love of a mother

Chapter -14

The plane landed early morning at our destination Geneva, Switzerland.

We all were overwhelmed by the beauty of the place , after just waking up with the sun rays illuminating our faces followed by the landing of the plane. Our hotel was booked as of before and the name is "Hotel Beau-Rivage Genève." We had a seamless journey to the hotel, where the members welcomed us with bright faces , they took our belongings to the upstairs.

The first destination that we went for sightseeing after keeping our belongings to the escorted rooms is by the bank of lake Geneva. The sight was gorgeous and mesmerizing to be told the least. While, no one was watching us, Shawn came by my side and took my hand on his entwining our fingers. I blushed. He catching me blushing said," Want to do something?"

"What?"

Without giving a second chance to speak he kissed me in front of everyone standing there.I tried to break free as my mind was stating me firmly " this is wrong, what if our colleagues catch us doing all this?", but my heart was responding him eagerly and boldly unabashed. When got out of our reverie , people started clapping around us loudly, thankfully there were no colleagues of us. This was giving them a double treat alongside the view of the lake. My heart was thumping loudly enough to come out any minute, but when I saw his face everything seemed blurry. He really is my world.

Shawn:

In a short period of time, we have become so close to each other. I appreciate how she loves me with all she has and I am ready to give her all I have really got. I definitely am a bit secretive but that is because I do not want to share with her all the pain and sorrow I have faced since childhood. My father always was into other girls and I never got to know what is meant by father's love. My mother was always beside me saving me from all the atrocities out there , she never used to leave me alone unlike my father. School life was more or less boring to me as I was always a shy and quiet child. Never had really much friends, only a few ones who were my coachingmates. Even in my higher studies tenure, some really studious and serious people were my friends, I was never so much fun-loving or humorous until I met Pratiksha. I never had siblings and was all alone in my lonely world until I met my world " My Pratiksha" , a world which was pitch dark after my mother had left me in by her departure from this world, the first place in terms of my world was always her.

✨✨✨✨

I found him engrossed in his own thoughts while returning back to the hotel, tomorrow we had lot of sight-seeings to be done and I was super excited for that. We both were assigned separate rooms , even though my mind insisted on going back to my room, my heart always said the other. So, I sneaked in while he was busy opening his luggage,and after noticing me kind of sorry for sneaking in without permission, he simply opened his arms and I ran towards him , he picked me up and twirled in the air and whispered in my ear," You are always welcome here cupcakes , never be shy from me." I nodded shyly savoring our embrace and then asked him," What were you thinking so much on our way back here?"

He said a bit dejected, " Nothing dear."

"Sure?"

"Hundred percent. But, yeah I was missing someone very dear to me."

"Your friends? , ex or someone from the family?"

"Let's keep this topic for some other time, please."

"Shawn, tell me something is your father not there with you?" I asked him finally building up the courage after I had kept it hidden inside me for over a month.

He was totally taken aback as his face said to me , he clearly didn't expect this question from me. He came closer to me and kissed my knuckles saying,"babe don't worry I will tell you everything one day."

I could see him trying to fight his expression to not cry in front of me . I guess I did hit a spot which I clearly shouldn't have done , my fault. I was totally ashamed and said, " I am sorry, I clearly didn't mean to hurt you ."

He hugged me saying," I am sorry too for not giving access to my personal arena earlier, which I should have given, yet I can't say as of now give me some time ."

I could feel him trying to stop a sob which could come anytime now . I suddenly looked at him breaking the embrace and noticed that his eyes were reddened and his nose was too.

He told me after some time ," Go back to your room,I need some time , at night you have to stay with me or me in your room."making a cute face.

I gave him a flying kiss and left the room, clearly knowing that he is going to cry a lot and still I had to give him space because I was the one who was solely to blame for the deed.

After dinner which was served in our suites by the staff there, I slept for a while and then got up to go to his room texting him before," Are you awake?"

He replied , "yeah."

I instantly tiptoed to his room which was on the same floor , where we were given rooms. His door was slightly ajar and when I entered he was sitting at the corner most part of the room. When I reached him, he looked up to me and said, " Sleep dear, I am joining you shortly after."

I did as he said, I was still feeling guilty and that was the reason of my obedience.

I was sleeping but he wasn't he still stood sitting there in the corner of the room and weeped and it became unbearable for me to sleep as I was wide awake knowing he was fully engulfed in sadness only due to me.

Couldn't stand any further his suppressed sobs and weeps , I woke up and went towards him in a swift motion. I began to say by hugging him from behind , " I am there for you , I am really sorry for what I did today and if you miss your family be it your mom or dad or anyone , always you should know and keep in mind you have a person always waiting for you to come back home safe and sound and her embrace will always be there for you no matter what."

He turned towards me almost whispering in between his sobs , " I had lost my mother when I was only 14 , you make me feel like I am back to my mother . You are my world and no one can replace you rather nothing can replace you until death makes us apart." Saying all those he hugged me tighter and this time my muffled sobs could also be heard other than his , a mixture of happiness and sadness, a perfect blend together.
