" Good morning sweet heart!", Ro whispered.

It was ten in the morning. The blinds were up and sunlight poured into the room. Ro had been in hospital for a month and now felt fit. Dr.Bel's influence reduced further speculations of Earl mansion scenes.

Roger continued to vale about our escape. Kate's guilt demanded for psychiatric aid.

Ro didn't speak of his retrieval from clutches of Roger the arse because he didn't want to. He said, " what's more important is my survival and being back with you."

  Today we planned to visit the graves of Ella and Rohanthan. We want to pay respect to their love and start fresh.

The couple are laid to rest behind Earl mansion. We will be entering the place for first time after the recent events.

After a quick shower we walk to the mansion. Authorities have put the property under last heir, that's me. So I am its owner now.

The backyard is clearly unkempt and garden is overgrown. In the midst of this density two souls rest. We walk towards the grave and place bouquets of roses on them.

"Ella", Rohan turns me towards him and continues, " I promise to protect you till my death. Will be humble and faithful this lifetime. So..",  he goes on his knees, "Will you marry me?", he blurts out.

Tears of happiness fill my eyes and I say, " YES!!"

Sargent Vines rushes into the backyard interrupting the precious moment.

"Guys this is urgent! Sorry but this is definitely a news. Roger and Kate are dead!", he stammers out.

" What?", we let out our shock simultaneously.

"Roger was badly bitten to death by an owl. Kate had swallowed quite a lot of sleeping pills.

  The time if death is reported as 2a.m.", he finishes.

The locket enticing my neck falls to the foot of graves indicating the end of mystery of Earl mansion.

Life had ignited a new spark for us to live with. We kissed till reality met eternity.
