Sold To The Wicked Him

“Lian, look, Mom and dad looks happy by just seeing the sight”

Lia mumble smiling as she crosses her hand. Blessed with a family that loves her so much, she grew up to a fine woman. Inherited the company of her father that was originally owed by her grandma. And as for Lian, he took Menandro’s step.

It was a shock to the world when the news about his death was announced. But he lived a long life if one can say.

More than that, he died with a smile on his eyes. As if he is contented in the life he had. As if… he was glad that the time has come. As if he was waiting for that very day all his life.

No one knows where he is now, as no one can really tell where people goes when they die.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

But there is one thing that all people who knows him too well could never deny,

That old man is surely looking for his beloved. Claudia. Cladia Lazarus. Aiden’s mother. Menandro’s one and only beloved.

“I think we should just let them have a sweet time. How about lets have icecream?”

Lian mumbled in reply as he was tapping on the screen of his phone. A small smile escapes Lia’s lips as she heard that words of her brother.

“Your treat?”

“Aren’t you earning more than me?”

“Eh? Who told you that? I bet you do earn much more than what I did”

Laugher filled the place as they walk inside the house. Lea and Aiden surely loves to stay in the garden. even if they don’t talk much, by just simply being by each other’s side, they are contented on that.

As if a gap was filled every time they are together.

*Years passed by*

Lea POV

There was a memory that flashed on my mind, I can’t clearly remember that time but… I can see that it was when my mother would give me some hot chocolates. In a cold winter, I would enjoy that drink. And each time that I feel cold, my father would hug me so tight. Wrapping me around in their arms.

I would giggle in joy. What a lovely day

Suddenly, a warm hand touches mine. And for some reason, I can feel such warmth. A warmth I enjoyed to feel. So calm… so relaxing…

End of Lea’s POV

“Aiden…”

Calling the name of her beloved, with wrinkled hand he hold hers.

“Yes? My dear?”

“Your.. dear?”

Caressing her cheeks, he had a small smile on his lips as he kissed her forehead.

“Yes, you are my dear… my… beloved”

Sitting together, one of the best things that would ever happen to any person if to live the life they wanted. And as if the heavens have heard their wishes, Lea and Aiden had a great life. Blessed with a family who they love with all their heart. so many hardships yet they still manage to fight all of it.

They say that life is but a breath of life that will soon fade. All people will die one day. That is our fate. That is why we must live the way we wanted. Live the life with no regret. Some may have the change to do so and some may not have. Some may be somewhere near it and some may still be far from it.

But there is just one thing that all people wished to live.

“Your beloved?”

“Yes, Yes, you are”

And that is happiness. Happiness that can’t even be explained by words. May it be simple or simplest out of all… that kind of joy you can’t be measured. That kind of happiness you could never give up even for a large sum of money.

Caressing her cheeks, Aiden tuck the hair of Lea behind her ears as he hold his hand. Tight but making sure to not let her be hurt.

Smiling at her, Lea can’t help but have a smile on her face. Not even knowing why she was happy. In her old age, many things are no longer clear on her mind. But even so,

“You look good smiling… you should do that more”

Aiden kissed her hand that he was holding. No matter how people forget things, there are still thing greater than any sickness a mortal can get.

That is love

Love that keeps on reminding us about the things that we truly hold dear. Love that can’t be erased no matter what makes us forget it. it will remain. And it will always be.

For the print it left behind can never be removed. Not by age, not by time, not by any medicine

Aiden POV

I never had a good childhood. Or maybe I did but I already forgot that time. Losing my mother, I grew up hating my dad. I blamed him for what happened to our family. I blamed him for being a jerk. Not doing anything to save my mother. I always wished that it would be him and not mom. I hated him… I did…

But all of that… I regrated doing so.

Closing my heart, I ended up killing his life…. He may be alive but day by day, I realized how much it hurt to be in his shoes.

Loving someone, it never once crosses my mind. Even the first time I meet lea, I never thought that she would leave such a mark on me…

Never once did I thought of the day where I would spend the rest of my life… living with a happy family.

Never once did I thought that a time would come and someone will love me back.

I fall for her. I don’t know why.

Maybe it was the way she look at me, that smile she had every single time she was happy. That smile she never know how much powerful it is to make someone’s day.

I fall for her, I don’t know why.

Maybe it was her kind soul that touches mine. Maybe it was her kindness that brings light in my dark night. Reaching me out of the cocoon I build to hide myself.

I fall for her, I don’t know why.

Maybe it was because… she is she. Nothing else.

I fall for her and I can admit it. I can admit that fact that I never see coming. I fall for a girl who I want to see the happiest she can be. I fall for her who’s happiness is my own. I fall for her and I just can’t help myself but keep on doing so.

I fall for her… and I don’t even know how should I stop.

With her hand holding mine, I can say my world is on my hands. My world is with me… walking side to side…

With her head resting on my shoulder, I wish for nothing else but to keep her safe… and happy forever.

I may not know how to love, but she showed me how. And now that I know it, all I can do is give her my all.

-Aiden Lazarus
