Chapter 22: Trust HIM - Leave HER!!

(Mature Language 18+)

** 2 YEARS BACK **

It was a sleepless night to all four of them.

Erasto and Cici kept chanting how much they loved each other and how they won't be able to survive without one another. With every passing moment they kept hugging and kissing ever so sweetly like there was nothing to worry about. For some reason, as the time passed their stumbled confidence started getting back giving them the much needed strength to face her father the next morning.

As far as Cynthia and Alexander were concerned, it was a totally different case. While she paced around the room worrying about Cici and Erasto, he on the other side spent all night being silent and lost in his thoughts. She even tried to talk to him and explain him about her daughter's relationship, but all she got back was a pain-stricken answer; "I want to be left alone Cynthia!"

All the four were waiting eagerly for the sun to rise and bring back a ray of hope with it. While the couple were ready to face Alexander in their own ways, Cynthia was ready to meet up the elders and get them involved if the need arises. If her husband was hell bent on taking Cici back with him then, she was hell bent in crossing her husband for the first time in their lives. Just like him, she was protective of her kids too and what's wrong in that?

As a mother she did want the best for her kids!

"Erasto, I am ready!" Cici said stepping out of the washroom and tying her hair in a cute little pony tail but, all she met was an empty room. Calling his names a few more times she searched the entire room; even the balcony where they had spent all night talking like long lost lovers. But there was no trace of him.

Anticipating what must be going around, she immediately rushed to the door and tried opening it. She scoffed when her thought was right!

"I'm going to kill him!"

He not only left the room without informing her but also took the unnecessary liberty to lock her in there.

He was gone to face her father 'alone'!!

Barging into one of the rooms where Alexander was already waiting for him he declared like a charming prince ready to steal away the beautiful princess if the king doesn't give in, "Zio, dobbiamo parlare!" (Zio, we need to talk!)

Of course the desperation, anger and impatience was quite evident in his tone which was clearly understood by the mighty king. With his body still facing the huge windows of the room, he turned his head in Erasto's direction and eyed him from head to toe.

Even though Erasto was confident enough to talk to this man about how he wasn't ready to leave Cici, but one tough look from Alexander and his palms started getting sweaty.

Her father had a dangerous aura around him that could kill a man just by looking at him. When he was a little boy, he was very scared of this man and tried his level best not to get in his bad books. However, as years passed he started understanding the soft caring man hidden behind that tough exterior. Erasto could see what a great man he was! What a great friend, family, husband and of course an extremely loving father he was!

All in all he could see the Angel and Devil in this man!

Alexander was definitely not blind; he could clearly see this young man's discomfort. It really amused him how desperate he was trying to maintain that stern and brave look on his face. Turning his head towards the window and placing his palms inside his pant pockets he agreed, "Sì Erasto, dobbiamo parlare! Chiudi la porta!" (Yes Erasto, we need to talk! Close the door!)
