After that day, Alara was happy but at the same time scared. Scared to fall in love with him, all because of her past.
"Alara! Alara!"
Alara- "Oh, Mom."
Duchess- "What happened? I was calling you, and you didn’t answer."
Alara- "Nothing. I was thinking about something."
Duchess-"That something is Crown Prince Aezhar."
Alara-"What? How do you know? No, no, what I meant to say is, how do you know him?"
The Duchess smiled and said, "We met because of business. After all, I am a Duchess"
Alara- "Oh, right."
Duchess-"How was your date?"
Alara-"How do you know more about my life than I do?"
The Duchess smiled and said, "Because I am your mother.
( I don’t want you to hurt like I did. I am scared that you might follow in my footsteps. It may be suffocating to have a mother like this. Sorry, my child.")
Alara- "Yes, it was great...
( I kind of know why you are doing this.")
Duchess-"If it was great, then why do you have such a long face?" the Duchess said, trying to sound cheerful.
Alara- "I am scared I might fall in love."
Duchess-"Then what's wrong with falling in love?"
Alara-"Don’t you regret marrying my father?"
Duchess-"Sometimes, but at the same time, I remember the times when he was there for me. I’m not saying it’s okay to forgive the cheater, but that’s my choice because I am not only a wife; I am a mother."
Alara-"I don’t know."
Duchess-"I know Crown Prince Aezhar. He is a decent man. After living with your father, I know about men. You don’t have to be scared. I will always be there in your hard times. Just live your life. (I will always take any problem that comes your way. My mother didn’t support me, but I will support you. "
Alara-"Mom, don’t worry about us. If you want a divorce, do it and don’t hold yourself back just because you are a mother. I will support you no matter what. I will be there for you."
Duchess-"Thanks, honey. I think that’s what I wanted to hear most over the past year. But I will not divorce him because I love him. I have faced more difficult times than this. I have changed him a little, but this time I will completely change him."
