Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 97 - My Only Love

" Just leave that topic and concentrate on driving, " she said.

He drove the car to the event in forty minutes. As soon as his car stopped, the flashes of lights and many cameras focusing on the guests who were arriving. They both got down from the car and walked forward. 

All of sudden, he snaked his palm at her back and pulled closer to him. She was startled but remained quiet as there were so many people watching them.

" The fragrance of your body is so addictive. I think all flowers are taking their fragrance from you it seems…" he whispered in her ears.

She raised her eyelids and looked into his eyes. She noticed the same love for her in his ocean blue eyes. When their eyes locked a camera light flashed on them made their eyes blink. He posed to the camera and gave a small smile pulling her closer to his chest. She tried to wriggle in his arms.

" Sweetheart...stay still. If you try to wriggle, I will seal your lips in front of all " he threatened in her earlobes not to be heard by others.

She stopped wriggling and stayed normal. After posing to the media they walked into the hall and congratulated Mr. Peterson for the success.

" You are looking so gorgeous, " he complimented.

" Thank you " she replied in a polite way.

" Young lady, why don't we dance to this evening? " he extended his hand towards Katherine.

" Sure…" she smiled and gave her hand to him.

" She will join in a short while, I have an important matter to discuss " Adrian interrupted them looking at her.

" Yeah ….." he walked away to receive the other guests.

" Do provoke my anger with your act, Kathie. I don't like someone touching you. I don't like how he stare at you" he said to her, taking her to the corner of the hall.

" Mr. Wilson...it's very rude. He just asked me to dance with him. Don't make it a big issue, ``she explained.

"If you want to dance then I will fulfill your wish" he said and took her to the dance floor where there were already a few couples dancing.

He pulled close to his chest and placed one hand around her waist. Slowly he started moving his legs along with the music beats looking at her. 

While they were dancing, all of sudden there was an announcement from the music troop. 

" Hi Mr. Wilson. Will you join us in our music band this evening?" 

Adrian turned to that direction and found his old music troop friend, Mike. He smiled at Mike and took her along with him to them.

" How are you both?" He greeted Adrian and Katherine.

" You both are always a lovely couple," Mike added.

" Yeah...it's true" Adrian replied with a bright smile but Katherine's face changed.

" Why don't you add a melody to our music band with your song? It had been many years you sang for us" Mike requested.

" Sure….today...I dedicate this song to my love" he said looking at Katherine but we will finish our food first. 

Adrian and Katherine had their dinner. Then he asked her to wait for him till returns. She sat in the chair placing her elbows on the table near the stage. She was eager to hear his voice as it had been a long time.

" Good evening everyone, " he spoke.

" I am going to sing for my love to express my feelings through this song " he announced looking at Kathie.

Slowly he started humming …..

your face in my eyes,

your memories in my heartbeat,

They make me crazy.

where have those nights gone,

those sweet little things,

which used to make me crazy...

since the moment you have gone away,

you have forgotten me.

and I'm crazy about you.

your eyes stole my heart,

and my memories have made me,

crazy, yeah crazy..

(Katherine had tears in her eyes listening to the song. At the same time, she noticed a waiter serving whiskey. She stopped him and started sipping while listening to the lyrics of the song)

I admit that you are not with me now,

and not close to my heart,

I admit it.

but there is still a hope in the heart,

that you'll come to meet me.

my crazy heart says,

the crazy one..

(She walked away with tears flowing on her cheeks. She sat hanging her legs in the swimming pool remembering their moments.) 

Those night will come again,

those sweet things,

which used to make me crazy.

By the time he completed singing the song, all the guests applauded his song. After a while, his eyes scanned for her in the hall but he didn't find Kathie around. He was worried for her and started searching.

Like a crazy man, he was searching for her but there was no use. Then he took his mobile and dialed to her number. He called her twice but she was not attending his call. Slowly he walked towards the open places near to the hall. He noticed a woman wearing a green dress sitting at the edge of the swimming pool. 

He dialed again, this time he heard the ringing sound of a mobile. He quickly walked towards that direction taking long strides. He saw the clutch lying on the floor. He picked it up and opened it.

He was happy to see the screen on her mobile which was displayed with his old photo . And she saved his number as " MY ONLY LOVE" .

He ran towards him and called, " Buttercup..."

" Buttercup...."

He saw tears in her eyes and lifted up pulling her arms. After making her stand properly, he wiped her tears with his thumbs.

" What are you doing here? That too alone?" He questioned.

" Are you drunk?" He asked again.

" Ad…. Why are you loving me so much even though I am hurting you? Huh?"

" I'm tired of acting before you. Death is easier to me than staying away from you." She sobbed, placing her face on his chest.

He hugged her tightly.

" I love you, Ad. It's hard to live without you. " She cried, cried and fainted in his arms.

" Kathie…." He patted her cheeks with concern.

As there was no response , he picked up her in his arms in bridal style.
