Chapter 349 - 'Unexpected meeting' in cemetery
Though it is their marriage very next day, Nathan insisted Aria to stay with him. He is still afraid of the scene he witnessed back then and moreover he is yet to make her feel secured as Kiara came back.
He have to assure her that she is the only person in his heart and also that Kiara is not more than a good friend.
...…
Aria is sleeping with her head on his chest while Nathan caresses her head. She is very happy and she is humming her favorite song. Seeing her like this he is totally taken off guard. He thought she will be upset…but still he decided to talk about it.
"Aria, I.." he is about to tell her something when she interfered him.
Caressing his cheeks she propped up on her elbow. "Nathan, there is no need to explain anything to me. I know that, you only loves me….past is past honey. Right now…we. Mmm" she is stopped in middle as his lips attacked her own.
His kiss is fierce and overly passionate. It depicted how much he loves her…only her. Drowning in the pleasure Aria smiled as she closed her eyes in pure joy. Soon their passionate kisses became more and more fervent with l.u.s.t and love. That later took this session to next level.
"Aria, what would have happened if Sarah betrayed you back then. It might have cost your life given with her unstable mind" Nathan asked her as his brows wrinkled with concern.
"Nathan. If you would have listened the conversation we had in grave yard, you might not have talked like this." Aria scolded him for thinking like that.
...….
In cemetery on the day Jean and Aria visited Kiara's grave...
When Jean is sharing her feelings about Kiara and how Nathan was broken hearted with her loss, Daniel and Sarah are standing hidden behind the tree. At first Sarah is very reluctant and is fuming with anger to listen their conversation.
But because of Daniel's desperate pleadings she caved in. His love has really made her hold back to sanity, her therapists and her medicine started giving her hope again. The only balance she needed now in her life is to differentiate between her love and hate for her friends. It is the reason he brought her here.
It made her realize how much Jean and Nathan suffered to go back to their normal life style after her abduction. She understood how much Nathan tortured himself without her presence in his life. When Jean compared her past situations with Nathan and his fears, at last she got a clear idea that they never abandoned her.
But there are still something's she wanted to clarify and Jean is the only one who can answer it. So she waited till Aria left Jean's side…. then she went and stood in front of Jean who is crying by kneeling in front of the tombstone.
Jean is already aware of Sarah being here. It is after all her plan to bring her here…..to make sure if she really is Kiara or not. Because she never mentioned her past to therapists nor Daniel.
It might be a trap from her enemies too..
Jean slightly looked up with her red and puffy eyes, they are bloodshot and she is even shivering slightly. She is not acting because she really got carried away when she started sharing her feelings with Aria…
Sarah froze looking at Jean like that, as her mind is stable now she remembered how Jean use to cry and sob like this in their college days because of her family.
Seeing her like this again her heart twisted with pain, she is looking pale and very fragile that she instantly remembered the weak and innocent Jean from few years back. Without thinking anything she knelt down and held Jean's hand in her own.
"If you really missed me this much and if you really loved me this much then why did you leave me like that. Why didn't you search for me.." Sarah teared up.
"Do you know how much I suffered, how many days I waited for you to rescue me. Days turned into months and years but you never came. I was imprisoned for months and later they started hijacking my mind and started to plant a hatred seeds on you people. I thought you abandoned me…Jean" Sarah cried.
Jean sniffled her sob and trembled while she listened. "I am so sorry Kiara. I really do…but we really thought you are dead. We even saw a dead body that mirrored yours. Even the blood group, finger prints matched yours. How can we be suspicious when the 'council' it self announced that you are dead."
"We never abandoned you Kiara. Everyday and every minute we all reminisce about our sweet time. You don't know how much we missed you, how much Nathan suffered…we might not have showed it but internally we never stopped grieving for you" Jean sobbed.
"I am sorry Jean. I really tried to harm every one of you. My mind is clearly not in a situation to think straight…they have been playing with my mind" Sarah apologized.
"It's okay. I understand the situation Kiara. I am glad you found your way back. Thanks for returning to us." Jean hugged her.
Meanwhile Aria stood rooted listening to them. Her heart started beating louder….
Kiara is back…does that mean Nathan will leave her. How should she live without him..
Her tears started rolling down. When Sarah looked at her she understood her thoughts Sarah smiled sadly.
"Aria, I might have harmed you before but believe me, I changed. And I will never snatch Nathan back from you. In a same way how you mend him I got Daniel and I love him. So we are in peace okay" Sarah assured.
Jean smiled happily. But soon morphed her face back to serious. "Sarah we should take revenge for what happened to you"
