Happy reading ;)

Chapter 19: Last chapter
I said yes, it's the time that will heal the broken heart and the scars; it is only fair to the body and mind. Since healing is important to us, we try to find things that will mend the broken heart. So I said yes and as for love? It's like the soft breeze; it cannot be seen but can only be felt.
Smiling to myself, I cleaned up and walked outside to the backyard only to find Rahul and Joy playing around. We got married last month. It was a simple wedding with no fuss. I made sure to call Anton though. He was happy for me and I could see it in his eyes. It was a blissful time and after that Rahul took me for a honeymoon to a place where he always wanted to take his bride, his bedroom.
We made out, like a lot and by a lot I mean 'red and bruised lips and love bites all over my neck' lot. I wasn't comfortable with any more touching yet and Rahul agreed to wait. So it's been a month and here I am standing on the porch of Rahul's house, looking at the two most important people in my life.
"No daddy" my 3-year-old screeched running away from the 'monster' "No please don't eat me" I chuckled
"Here comes the monster" Rahul made faces and ran behind our bundle of happiness "Run" Rahul yelled.
"Mommy" Joy yelled and jumped onto my leg. He hugged my leg for dear life, giggling
"I am not scared of your mommy, little boy" Rahul said and Joy screeched again, Men I thought, sighing to myself.
"Okay boys" I picked Joy up "That's enough" I kissed his forehead and scrunched my nose
"Ewww you stink, little one"
"Imma bathe with daddy" he said smelling himself.
"Okay little man" Rahul said and Joy fist pump in the air yelling a 'Yes'. I shook my head and walked inside only to run into a chest. Confused, I looked up to find Anton looking at me.
"Anton, what are you doing here?"
"I umm just came to say goodbye to little Joy" He was going back to Italy tonight. He was Italian but what made me curious was his voice. He looked Italian but his voice seemed partially Indian. He had never been to India before. He was from a special force in Italy and traced the activities of the criminals, same job that Rohan had. Weird much?
"Well sure" I showed him to the couch "Take a seat" he sat down
"So how are you doing, moi amor"
"I am okay now" I nodded more to myself thinking of the endearment he used. Although why he used it, I had no idea. He smiled and nodded.
"Do visit if you ever come down to Italy" he asked with hopeful eyes
"Yeah" I smiled "I'd love that" he smiled and now that I looked into his eyes, I found myself wanting to know more.
"Anton" Rahul came down with a jumping Joy in his arms. As soon as he was out down, Joy ran towards Anton and Anton crouched down to his knees with open arms.
"Uncle Anto" He hugged Anton.
"How's my little man?"
"Okay" He said nodding his head.
"Well, as usual I got you these" he fished through his pockets and presented some chocolate bars as usual like he does with Joy.
"Thank you thank you thank you" Joy screeched happily and hugged Anton. Yeah as if I don't give him chocolates, wait, I don't, because I eat them.
"Now I bought these for you, don't give them your mother" he winked at me and my jaw fell, like literally. How did he know?
"And how did you know that I eat 'em?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He laughed along with Rahul. Urghh!! So annoying Ignoring them I went to grab something to eat. I brought the pack of Oreo. After a little small talk, Anton stood to take our leave. It was weird how I felt some sort of an attraction towards him, his life, not physical but emotional.
"Well" he picked up Joy "Looks like I'll take my leave now" he said kissing his forehead.
"You, little man, be good to your mom and dad, will you?" he instructed Joy and he nodded.
"I'll miss you" Joy said almost sniffling. I smiled and shook my head. He was so attached to Anton so quickly.
"I'll miss you too, buddy" Anton chuckled but I didn't miss the tear filled eyes but again he wiped them off "How about we write letters to each other, hmm?" Joy nodded. Anton put him on his feet and we all moved out to bid a goodbye. On the front porch, he did a man-half-hug thing with Rahul and then turned to me. He pulled me into a full bear hug and surprisingly it felt warm and comfortable. Without thinking much, I hugged him back. He clutched onto me for dear life, or so it looked.
"Take care, love, keep safe" he whispered softly and kissed the side of my head, exactly like Rohan did. I closed my eyes and then something clicked inside me, why did he remind me so much of Rohan? I thought. He pulled out from the hug with a sad expression and moved further to go and that's when I grabbed onto his hand to stop him.
"Yes, love?"
"Write us?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
"I will moi amor" he smiled kissing the back of my hand for the last time before moving to his car. Once inside, he waved a goodbye and the engine started. With a last look, he drove off and I kept looking until his car disappeared, just like the last time I bid a goodbye to Rohan.
I sighed and walked into the house just to find my men duo on the coach, hogging on the Oreos. I shook my head and jumped on the couch myself between them that I was awarded a laugh from them. I smiled, I was happy!!
In the mean time
Anton got into his car and drove off; he was clearly looking into the side mirror to see the love of his life looking at him with sad eyes. She was just so beautiful; he couldn't take his eyes off of her. When he decided to help the mission, he'd never thought he would leave a whole family behind. He was ready to give away his love for his country. But he never realised while he was working, he had his son, wife and mother waiting for him, especially son. He had a son and that was total news to him.
"So" the chief at his side addressed him "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes chief" he said without looking at the chief's face.
"This would be a mistake. If you aren't really sure, then there is time still. You can go back" Anton shook his head What good I'd be to her if I couldn't even save her from another man. That bastard touched her, everywhere. I was in the next room, I heard her cries, her pleas. She had begged him and yet I couldn't save her, my wife, the love of my life- He thought bitterly At least now, she's happy.
"If it's a mistake I've made, then it's a mistake I have to live with my entire life" he wore his shades to hide his tears. The pain was awful but there was nothing he could do. So he decided it was better to leave. His appearance was different in front of her, but he was the same man. He loved her and so he was leaving her. May be sometime in the future, he'd come and meet his son. He sighed.
"Alright Lt. Rohan Rajput, back to work it is then" the chief nodded and Anton a.k.a Rohan increased his speed just to get away from his thoughts.
