Dave placed the bouquet and the gift on the nearby bench and came closer to Angel and grabbed her shoulders. He looked intensely at her and his gaze intruded her heart.

" Look at my eyes Angel. Now tell me the truth. Don't you love me?"

She couldn't lie by looking at his eyes directly. She hung down her head and controlled her tears and asked him,

" What do you know about me to love me? "

" I love you and I don't need to know anything else. " Dave replied tenaciously.

" No Dave. You need to know. If you know the truth, you'll not love me like now. I'm not worthy of your love Dave. Please understand that. "

" First tell whether you like me or not, then let me hear your truth whatever it may be."

Angel swayed and faced the opposite side of him, showing her back to him.

" Yes I like you. No one can hate a person whom you're now. But that...."

Hearing that, Dave hugged her from behind and that made her to startle and she was stammering to continue what she was saying.

" That's enough for me Angel

" That's enough for me Angel. You don't need to tell anything else. "

Angel was flabbergasted by his sudden hug and so she pulled herself away from his grip and faced him.

" No Dave. This is not enough. You should know the truth. You should know about me. I ran away and was hiding here to forget that past. But now to make you understand, I have to open up this. "

"But Angel.. I don't want to make you remember that again because of me. And I don't care about your past. I love you and I want to take care of you. That's more than enough."

" Tell the same thing after knowing my past, then let me think about what you said. "

After Angel said this, Dave couldn't do anything else to convince her. So he decided to hear her past just to prove his love.

" OK Angel. You tell me now. What happened in your life?"

Angel inhaled a large volume of air to fill her lung's total capacity. She closed her eyes for a minute. She gathered strength to go back to that past.

Angel's POV

You asked me whether I'm Lisa or Angel. My name is Angelisa. Everyone used to call me Lisa. I wasn't born with a silver spoon. Our family was not rich in money but rich in happiness.

My dad Edwin Victor was an Engineer who worked in a private concern. My mom Grace's work was only to take care of her family. My sister and my first friend Valentina was two years younger than me.

I loved being in home and spending my precious time with my family than being anywhere else. I love my family more than everything. So I always wished to have such a sweet family for myself when I get married.
