Chapter 53
“I’m starving.”Anya complained to Andrius. It was almost a whisper.
Because of what she said, Andrius quickly said goodbye to the person he was talking to. After he did that he took Atreus from Anya and carried him.
“Is there any problem? Why does the mood swing baby?”he asked in astonishment when he got inside the car. Anya did not answer him so she frowned even more.
Andrius pressed the car key and put his son in the back seat while Anya was already setted beside the driver seat. He shook his head. Anya acted strange. It looked like his surprise would fail. Even so, he was still determined.
“Whatever is bothering you, please tell me.”He quickly drove the car to their destination.
Anya frowned when Andrius did not stop at their house. She glanced at him and saw he was just serious about driving.”Where will we go?”she asked.
“Mommy, we’re going to eat in Boulevard. I like grilled chicken mommy, and the colorful lights. Right, Daddy?”Atreus said, happily.
“Yeah, kiddo. Pappila is already there too.”Andrius replied to their son. He glanced at him slightly and smiled. Then he turned to Anya.”I’m sorry, baby, but we’re going to eat at the boulevard tonight,”Andrius said.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Anya did nothing but nod at what Andrius said. When they reached the place, the young man just parked not far from the bay. They walked a few meters before they reached the spot.
A beautiful light immediately appeared on them. It was already dark but the colorful lights from the lamp posts added the beauty of the place. Even the 3D text of I love Tandag was giving a wonderful highlight of the scenery.
Atreus was very happy because of the different lights he saw. The extension of the area was the vast ocean covered by the Pacific. Many people in the area like them were also fascinated by its beauty. Some were taking pictures.
“Pappila!”Atreus called his grandfather.
Pappi immediately turned around and smiled when he saw Atreus.
He ran to him.
Anya was about to follow their whereabouts when Andrius pulled her closer to him. She was caught off guard. She almost sank into his chest.
“Let’s have a date, baby. Let our child go to your Pappi first. It’s you and me, tonight. Holding hands while walking,”Andrius mischievously said and winked. He stared at her as if he was melting her through it.
Anya nodded. She was annoyed with him because of the scene earlier but she could not deny to herself that she was thrilled by his tactics. She was only deprived of the extreme fragility when it comes to him.
“Okay. So, we’re just teenagers now? Boyfriend girlfriend?”Anya rode on what Andrius said.
“Nope. We’re more than that. We are destiny!”Andrius replied while holding her hand.
Andrius lifted her right hand and clasped it with his left hand. He gripped her tightly as if he did not want to let her go.
They walked all over the place, even in Tandag plaza. They also passed the huge fountain in the middle of the main highway.
They were like lovers who have just found theirselves back. Making their time most of it, while enjoying every second pasts.
“What are you thinking?”Anya asked Andrius as they sat at the base of the lamp post.
“I want to sing for you,”Andrius replied.
“All right, go to the stage. Sing for me Andrius. Just like before,”she challenged him.
“What if I will?”Andrius challenged her back.
Anya caught off guard. She though for a while and said,”When you do that I will marry you… even tomorrow.”
Anya glanced at Andrius next to her and saw him staring at her intently. His eyes were telling something she couldn’t name. His blue eyes were piercing through her soul. Even the kind of grip he had on her hand was strange.
When he released her hand, she was more surprised. But, she was even more surprised when Andrius left her and walked towards the boulevard stage.
“Where are you going? Hey!”Anya shouted at him as she stared behind him. She followed the young man and when she saw him go up on stage she was nervous but a strange feeling also enveloped her whole being.
“When you say it, you mean it baby!”he shouted. He didn’t care if he was on the stage.
Anya cheeks blushed. Was he really serious?
Andrius first talked to the band that was playing all over the place and started playing his own choice of song. He already grabbed the attention of people all over the place. So like her they were also waiting.
If I could fly
I’d be coming right back home to you
I think I might
Give up everything just ask me to
Pay attention I hope that you listen
‘Coz I let my guard down
Right now I’m completely defenseless
Anya blushed profusely. While Andrius was singing, his attention was focused only on her. She couldn’t contain the emotions she was feeling inside her. It was just too much.
“Mommy, daddy is singing a song for you. I knew it mommy. Daddy loves you so much!”Atreus said. He was on the side of her that she was unaware of. Even her Pappi was on the other side of her as well.
The words of her son hit her. He was right. Andrius loved her. How could she forget about it? The young man made her feel that way almost every day.
Anya couldn’t help it. She felt her heart tightened with so much emotion she was feeling. Her heart ached and her eyes watered. One by one tears welled up in her eyes.
She had been waiting for this.
For your eyes only,
I’ll show you my heart
For when you’re lonely
And forget who you are
I missing half of me
When we’re apart
Now you know me
For your eyes only
For your eyes only
As Andrius continued to sing, he slowly stepped out on the stage. He walked towards her. People gasped in excitement and their cameras came out when the young man was in front of her.
I can feel your heart inside of mine
I’ve been going out of my mind
Know that I’m just wasting time
And I hope that you don’t run from me.
He slowly knelt in front of her while still staring at her. His eyes were bloodshot too. But, the blue eyes reflect the longing.
“I’m an asshole. When you left me I blamed myself because maybe it was my karma. But, I never stop loving you. You will always be my sweetest downfall. And now that I found you again, I won’t let you go,”Andrius promised.
“Stand up. It’s embarrassing,”Anya whispered.
But Andrius was stubborn. He just shook as he pulled a box out of his pocket. He opened the box. It was still the infinity ring five years ago.
“This ring still belongs to you. My heart still belongs to you Anya. Will you marry me? This time, it’s for real. Take it if it’s a yes. Now, take it,”
“That’s my brother!”It was Sofia.”Say yes, Anya!”she shouted again.
Even people were screaming as well. They were cheering for Anya to say yes.
Anya was very overwhelmed that she couldn’t even utter a word. She nodded and took the ring from Andrius’hand.
All the people in the place cheered for them. They applauded.
Andrius stood up and hugged her tightly. Along with their embrace was the beautiful fireworks that could be seen from the vast ocean.
“I love you, Anya. You and Atreus. Du bist mein lieben,”Andrius whispered and hugged her.
“I love you too, Andrius. And I will marry you,”Anya confessed. Yes, she would marry him. And no one could stop her.
Andrius released Anya from the hug. Stared at her for a few seconds and bent down to kiss her fully on the lips. They were both filled with happiness.
Finally, their perfect time had come. And, it was for real
