Chapter - 68

Tiara POV:

"

"I am all ears sunshine" Raymond said and I nodded and started to tell him the conversation I had with my dad before he left me forever.

**********************************************************************************

----------------2 months before, in hospital, the day of accident of Mr & Mrs Richardson and break up with Nicholas,

"

I saw my father opening his eyes and removing his Oxygen mask. I tried to stop, but he blinked at me, I knew him, when he blinks: that suggests he is okay. He then asked you (Raymond) that he wants to speak to me alone. You (Raymond) obliged and left from there closing the door behind.

''Dad'' I broke into tears

He tried bringing his hand to rub my hairs, but the IV attached wouldn't allow him to do so. I held his hands

''Dad, how did all this happen?''

''That's because you were not with us...'' I felt guilty, but he smiled "Never feel guilty Tiara, one day or other I anticipated this would happen, and that day is today'' he smiled and I was shook

''I... I am sorry Dad. I am really sorry. I made the biggest mistake of my life, I shouldn't have''

''no, don't cry. The last thing I want to see you is crying.''

''I am a terrible daughter dad. I didn't feel like calling you and letting you know about my whereabouts''

''do you think we couldn't know where you are all these days'' he didn't sound angry

I was shocked.

''Tiara, we have raised you, if you go missing do you think we will just leave you on your own''

''then why did you not come to take me away''

''That's because we knew you were safe. Safe with Raymond''

''Raymond'' I mumbled being shocked

''how do you know Raymond?''

He smiled weakly

''We brought Raymond's alliance for you, so don't you think we would know everything about him?''

''You wanted me to get married to Raymond?''

He nodded

''and he knew this too?''

''No, he didn't, I wish he knew this. He didn't know that it was you whom his parents asked to get married to. When you ran away, he was as happy as you might have been''

''Dad, I am sorry. I am really sorry'' my guilt surfaced

''Tiara, I know , I have not much time left and probably your mother is waiting for me to join her right there '' he pointed his fingers towards the blue sky seen through the window.

''Dad, please, please don't say so. I can't live without you, no. I was planning to call you this Sunday and wanted to meet you. I know I am wrong, but you can't leave me. Please don't leave me dad, I will be alone, I would become orphan''

''Tiara.... You will not be orphan even when I die" he held my hand tight and squeezed and then continued after taking a brief pause

"If I ask you, would you marry Raymond?''
