             POV: AUTHOR
       After saying these words to Roy, Jenny started crying silently. Some tear drops fell on Roy's cheeks. Roy woke up from his sleep to see her crying. He asked her what was wrong. She replied "Nothing, I was just praying that you should be safe from all evil." He smiled at her and hugged her tightly. Both cried in each other's arms, not knowing what the future was holding for them, but they knew even if it's the world's end, they will stay together and be with each other. Roy broke the hug and kissed her deeply until she was out of breath. After the kiss, Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and both of them slept in one blanket.
          It was morning so Roy's mom was coming to wake them up. Oh no!! They forgot to lock the door. Roy's mom opened the door to see them sleeping in one blanket. Roy's mom closed the door as if she saw nothing. Roy got up to the sound, to see his mom standing at the door. Jenny also got up slowly. Both felt embarrassed.
        Roy's birthday was coming up. Jenny had a plan in her mind for him. Well I will tell you about it later....😁.
           One day Roy went outside for some work. Jenny and Emma wanted to make donuts. Well Roy's mom and Lucas's mom also joined them. Jenny told her to put 1 cup of flour in the bowl while she was holding it. Emma didn't took a measuring cup and instead put 2 cups of flour. Lucas's mom came and said "Emma, don't you waste it. You brainless girl" and hit the board on which the bowl was placed. Some flour fell down and maximum flew on Jenny's face. Roy's mom went to the bedroom and brought a blanket and toy sword. She came to the kitchen and pushed Emma and her mom behind her and said "Oh no!!! A cute little ghost has come here. Arise you folks, bring your swords and fight with this cutie pie." Suddenly Roy came out of nowhere and put a plate in front of him and said "Don't attack us with your cuteness, devil." Jenny put her hands like gun and said "Pew, pew, pew.........die you mighty beings." Then Emma and her mom said "Attack!!!!!" And started tickling her Jenny. Everyone burst into laughter. Oh these cute moments with family...🥰🥰🥰.
          After few days, Roy's cousins came for a visit. They noticed Jenny and asked Roy who she was. Roy said "She is my future wife guys. Treat jer with gentleness." Then Lucas's mom called Roy to the kitchen for help. Roy's cousins sat around Jenny and asked how she felt about him. While she was speaking she became tomato red and they started teasing her. Then Roy gave her a flying kiss while coming from the kitchen. She got butterflies in her stomach. They started teasing her even more. Oh this romantic and naughty Roy....😉😉.
              POV: JENNIFER
         That evening Roy got a call for some important work. He needs to go out of town for 2 days. But his birthday was coming up. How do I celebrate without him? Then a wonderful idea struck my mind. After he went, I discussed my plan with Roy's family and gave each other a high five.
                  POV: ROY
         I came back after two days from work. I think I am forgetting something. I looked at the phone to see it was 19th November. Is it something important today??? I was knocking on the door, but no one was responding. Suddenly I got a call from a unknown number. I lifted to listen a anonymous voice saying "I have kidnapped your family. If you don't come to the address I say, I will harm them." Before I could even respond the call has ended. Oh no! I rushed to the spot the voice said. It was around 10 pm in the night. The spot was an isolated part of the beach. I started searching for the anonymous person, my family but couldn't find anyone. I was starting to give up. I tried calling the number many times but it was no use. Suddenly lights filled the air and a soft music started to play. Everyone came and shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROY!!!!!!" Then I remembered that it was my birthday today. Everyone popped party poppers and everything was colourful. They even started spraying birthday sprays. After all this everyone gave me their presents. But where was Jenny?? Then after this, there she was looking like an angel in lavender colour gown. She knew my favorite colour was lavender.

I was expecting some gift from her because she kept her hands behind her back. She came and stood right in front of me. As she knelt down on one leg before me "Perfect" song started playing. She pulled a box with a ring in it. She said "Roy, my soulmate, my love, thanks for coming into my life and making the world a better place for me. You gave me the hope to live and love again. Because of you I understood that loving a person can be so magical. You took my problems as your problems. You understood every inch of me. You loved me the way I am. So, will you marry me?" She stood slowly. I was speechless and tears of love, joy, happiness were flowing down my face. I completely knelt down and caught her hands gently and placed my forehead on it and said "Jenny, with all of my love and my life, I accept your proposal. I will be your husband until death separates  us both." I stood and looked in her eyes deeply and we both exchanged rings. Suddenly the dark sky was filled with crackers. Jenny took a flying lantern and placed a paper saying "I love you so much, Roy." Both of us set it flying into the air.
               POV: AUTHOR
        Then Roy turned around to face everyone and said "My fiancé" and pointed towards Jenny. This gave her butterflies. He lifted her and spun her around. Both of them danced to song "Perfect" which was a visual treat for others. These both were such a cute pair. Let's plan their wedding together.....HEHE 😁😉😏.
         After Roy's birthday everyone went to an amusement park. Roy's cousins, Emma and her mom, Roy's mom, Jennifer and Roy were going near the roller coaster but Roy, stopped Jenny from stepping further. She asked him what's wrong but instead he put a blindfold on her eyes. She didn't know what his plans were. Everyone guided her to a place. Roy slowly opened the blindfold and everyone shouted "SURPRISE!!!!!!" Jenny opened her eyes to see her parents in front of her. She went and hugged them. Jenny's mom went and thanked him saying "Roy, thank you so much. It's been 2 years since I saw my daughter. Well, when the right time comes her father will give her to you." Jenny looked surprised. Because how dis Jenny's parents know about her relationship?? Then Roy explained to Jenny saying "Darling, one day I went to the supermarket to buy groceries. I was going to the cash counter when I saw a middle aged man who looked exactly like you. I went near and asked him "Are you Jennifer's dad?" Then he replied "Yes! I am her father. Do you know her?" Then I explained everything to him. Well here they are." Well the whole family is here....😉😚.
        Even in this grief, due to family's support days were going happily. But from here the story is going to take a wild turn 🤐🫡. This is going to change everything in their family.
         One day, Roy was going through a drawer in his mom's room fir his birth certificate. But he found something else. He found his mother's 2nd pregnancy papers. The year the test was done was when Roy was 2 years old.
                 POV: ROY
         Wait, mom had a second pregnancy?? Why does it say the baby was aborted and Mon couldn't have babies anymore? Why does it say mom's uterus became weak after the 2nd pregnancy?? She didn't even mention it before. And the baby was a girl?? Questions were flowing through my mind. I went straight to my mom who was in the living room talking to everyone. I shouted at my mom and said "Mom, what are these papers? Don't you try to lie now. Say the truth or else..😡." Then for the first time I saw my mom breakdown in front of me. With tears rolling down her face she said "My son, your dad killed your sister by beating and kicking me in the stomach when I was 2 months pregnant. That cruel man killed his own baby. That's why my uterus became weak and I couldn't have babies anymore. I didn't want to tell you, but you found these papers yourself. This is the painful truth Roy." I was stunned to speak. My father killed his own daughter for money? My blood was boiling. I saw Jenny but she was too afraid to speak. I pulled her by her hand and took her to my bed room. I looked straight into her eyes and said "Jenny, I think you knew about it before I did. Are mom and you still trying to hide something from me? If you don't speak now, things will take a drastic change." I caught her shoulders and asked her to speak. Jenny with shaking hands replied "The second painful truth is, the person responsible for Lucas's death is your father." She explained everything. I just snapped. I took a glass jar and went to the living room and threw it. Then........
