TWO WORLDS

Chapter 5

After a few months of passing around applications to different places for jobs, Tessa and Aadris worked in the company as secretariats in the world embassy hence sometimes they would be sent around the world. In some few cases they would travel together other times separately. As for Henry he worked in the same company but as a CEO of one of their branches in Austria. Aadris and Henry are all Austrians while Tessa is Australian. They lived in Austria, their parents are also Austrians and the Embassy they work for is also in Austria. They were all great able workers and highly recognized. After four years of labour, Henry prepared a birthday party for Aadris. All friends and family were invited at the party where he proposed to her in front of everyone.

Henry: Aadris I have known you all my life. These past five years have been great but I wish to wake up to you, grow old with you and get that dream football team of kids with you [all laugh then he kneels down while she holds her mouth in shock and in tears]
Henry: will you finally grant me my greatest dream, Aadris will you marry me?
Aadris: ……………….
Melody: [whispers to herself] yes….. Say yes [while the other three also wait anxiously. The older folks were silent patiently waiting]
Henry: my Aadri will you…….
Aadris: [while screaming, jumping and crying] YES!! YES!! I will marry you [everyone cheers in excitement while he puts the ring on her finger and carries her from her waist as she stands up and they kiss]
Henry: [says to her] I have loved you always, I love you and I always will
Aadris: love you too Henry [he wipes her tears]

There is a great celebration and then everything just moves fast, a few months later it is their wedding day. Everyone is all smiles and laughs. Everyone was looking their best especially the bride and groom, the church service was exceptional Melody and Tessa were her maids of honour while Chase and Thomas were the best men. Their parents were pleased and so were the other older people available.

Pastor: do you Henry Willan take Aadris Evans to be your lawful wedded wife to love and to hold in sickness and in health for richer or for poorer till death do you part
Henry: I do
Pastor: and do you Aadris Evans take Henry Willan to be your lawful wedded wife to love and to hold in sickness and in health for richer or for poorer till death do you part
Aadris: I do
Pastor: I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride [they did as everyone stood to cheer]

Afterwards there was a great celebration as everyone danced. They went for a week honeymoon and later returned.
It was a year later of marriage for them both, Chase got married, and a few months later Melody got married too. Aadris as usual had a job to handle she travelled abroad while Henry stays back home working. Tessa and Melody gave birth on the same day (they got pregnant before marriage). There was a knock at the door.......

Henry: coming! Just hold on [he walks to the door and opens] Chance
Chance: hey sweet, sweet Henry did you miss me?
Henry: what do you want?
Chance: relax my darling I know you’re so happily married [laughs] I came to visit, can I come in? [pushes herself in]
Henry: [looks at her] ……...
Chance: seriously, it was bad enough you didn’t even invite me the least you can do is allow a visit.
Henry: I’m only doing it because I’m a nice person, but soon you are leaving.
Chance: well of course, of course. So where’s she? [Smiling]
Henry: out working.
Chance: oh [smiles] reallyyyyy, shame I really wanted to see her. Wow, anyway I know I made mistakes but don’t I deserve some wine or at least water mister nice person, oh my Henry [laughs]

Chance: okay, fine can I see your wedding pictures and I promise I will leave afterwards.

She drags him to bed. The next morning he wakes up.........

Aadris: aww Hen misses me. [Laughs] love you too, coming soon alright

Henry feels sad he wants to tell her the truth but is scared to lose her. Later that night Chance sleeps with some random man she meets at a club. A week later she returns.........

Chance: [fakes her voice] Hen

Chance: yes darling and it’s yours, here [gives him her pregnancy results]
Henry: [grabs her by her shirt] whatever game you’re playing quit it!
Chance: does that look like a joke to you Henry! We had something good happen obviously it produces results.
Henry: wait here [he goes in and comes back] take this [a bag of money]
