AMORE

Heavens got a place on earth with you

Lorenzo cleared his throat as Khalid patted his back, as a sign to talk. He took a deep breath as his eyes scanned the large crowd in front of him. he could make out Khalids eaten birthday cake in the back, indicating that the party really had come to an end. It was much better than the last party he had attended in Tabriz, that's for sure. He didn't need a big plan this time to spend time with his amore, she was as willing as him. the exhausted looks on the crowds face, made him stand up straighter and announce the news.

"As Khalid has already told you guys, me and my men entered Tabriz with the purpose of hiding away from the enemy. The people of Tabriz accepted us with open arms, and I thank every single one of you for that. However, our journey has come to an end and I am sad to announce that we will start to set our journey back to London" He spoke confidently and looked at the local people who smiled at him by hearing the kind words. The whole family was also looking at him proudly and if Lorenzo held back from cringing when he noticed Scar smiling big. "Before leaving though, we all have a surprise for you. If there is anything, we all have in common, it is that we have all experienced deaths that have left us broken. Many years back, I tried clearing that hurt by murdering the parents of the woman I love the most, Isabella Khair Anwar. According to me, I had done the right thing and to be honest, I didn't look back to that day ever again. until God placed her in my life to make me realize that nothing is more dangerous that egoistic actions. I learnt my lesson and gave Khalid what was closest to my heart, her. after meeting her after all these years, I like to think that I am a different man. I am different from before" He uttered again, but this time his eyes were only on his amore. She smiled at him as if he was the purest thing she had ever seen, but maybe he was. He was pure in the sense of being completely unfiltered.

The crowd of the people from Tabriz, listened clearly to the confession that had been whispered from ear to ear in the streets. Khalid was completely relaxed and observed how the man in front of him looked at his sister with love. Lorenzo was doing the right thing by giving the people closure. This was the moment before he would take off to war and if he didn't return, he wanted the whole world to know that he was capable of loving and how he only loved his amore.

"you are the same though, Bella. You are the same. You were always perfect" he said in a lower voice and snickered as he saw Bella getting teary eyed. "This announcement obviously isn't going as planned because all I can think about now is you. When I asked Khalid about how to tell the people that we are going to war to kill the Chinese mafia that took our loved ones from us, he told me to say whatever was on my mind. He quoted by saying that I have announced war several times to my men so this shouldn't be different. He is right, but wrong at the same time. right now, you are the only thing on my mind and even in England, you have been. I can't count how many times I have called the boys your name by mistake" Lorenzo joked and heard the crowd laugh. Diegos laughter could be heard from a distance, making the drug lord let out a laugh on his own.

"GET IT FRATELLO" Marco shouted in the midst of the crowd, making the women snicker from around him.

Lorenzo looked at Khalid and leaned in, whispering in his ear; "Can I?" to which Khalid nodded and pushed him back in a joking matter.

"What I am trying to say is that I have spared a room in my mansion with your belongings. The room smells like you and I have spent nights sitting around, looking at pictures of us. I have hidden away the clothes you brought me because I have been too scared to throw them away. Throwing them away feels like erasing you and I can't do that. the mansion is also missing you amore. It is asking if you will come back with me, when we are done with the war" was the last finishing sentence that made the crowd erupt in cheers and whistles.

Diego engulfed the boys in a hug as they saw Bella jump in Lorenzos embrace. He left small pecks all over her face before placing his lips on hers. She smiled in the kiss and whispered her promise of staying with him, completely oblivious to people watching her. "Will you be my girlfriend, amore?" he asked her and pushed away Diego who was jumping up and down like a maniac.

"Always" she whispered back and kissed him, letting her hands roam around in his hair.

The lovebirds were too busy in each other's embrace, to notice Scar going up to the microphone; "To clear any confusion, we are ready for war and the instructions will follow on what everyone's part in this mission will be"

The party that had once finished was set on fire again. Songs blasted through the speakers and the newfound happiness of revenge made everyone more awake than they were. No one noticed how Adam pushed his way out of the crowd and threw his drink on the wall. His anger was raging and his misery was ignored by everyone. The woman he had used his time on was happy with the man that he and Khalid were supposed to kill. It seemed to him as if Khalid had forgotten him and had switched sides. He blamed the whole Tabriz too, that was partying with killers.

While Adam walked away from the party, Jasmine walked the opposite way to Khalid who was dancing with Marco. The men were smiling from ear to ear and Jasmine smiled as she saw Marco make kissy faces at her boyfriend.

"Khalid" Jasmine called loudly and took his hand, dragging him away from the crowd. Without knowing about it, she had dragged him to the same way that Adam had walked through. Khalid gulped loudly as he noticed that this was the moment, she would break the news to him. The news that he already knew about.

He tried to prepare lines to tell his woman, to appear shocked when she would reveal the pregnancy to him. But he wasn't successful because Jasmine stopped as they both neared the beautiful flower garden that was full of roses. She tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at Khalid with hopeful eyes.

"Khalid" she whispered and scratched her neck. The man in front of her smiled and held on to her hand, kissing it gently. "Do you love me?" she asked, looking at him closely. the question made the man laugh loudly, his chest vibrating as laughter boomed around them.

"What kind of a question is that?" he asked her, watching her smile. "Ask me something more difficult, Jasmine. Of course, I love you" he told her, pulling her closer.

The conversation that was meant for the two of them, suddenly had an uninvited guest. Adam, who was sulking behind on the other side of the garden, perked his ear up as the conversation took a turn.

"How much?" Jasmine asked Khalid, who furrowed his brows. "I am a dancer Khalid. How can you love me? Our first meeting was of me dancing for you and your friends" Jasmine spoke louder this time and looked down as embarrassment was evident on her face.

"And? Just because you were a dancer, doesn't mean that I can't love you. Moreover, you never danced for me and my friends. I kicked you out and left the club myself" Khalid corrected the girl, who had been there with him all those years.

"Why? Why did you do that?" she asked, even though she already knew the answer. Jasmine wanted to hear him say it, so that she could feel brave enough to reveal the pregnancy news.

"Because I respected you more than the others. I would never let a woman with my mothers name, belittle herself in front of boys like that. I saw how uncomfortable you were, Jasmine and I helped you. My way of showing my care was weird but I have tried to earn my redemption in all the years following that" he told Jasmine truthfully, to which she sighed loudly.

"Khalid, I love you and I don't want to set pressure on you. If you don't like the news, you are free to leave me. I won't hold a grudge against you" she started off to which Khalid huffed.

"Tell me then" Khalid spoke and smiled from excitement. He wanted to hear the news from her mouth.

"I am pregnant" Jasmine breathed and looked at Khalid, a grin spreading on his face. He picked her up swiftly and spanned with her in his arms. They laughed and the sound of their laughter echoed in Adams ear.

A smile plastered on Adams face, but it was different from the one on the others faces. It was cruel
