Chapter 59: Epilogue


    Fifteen monthster


    The beeping of my phone got my attention as I looked back at it and pushed my wheeled, swiveled


    chair towards it as I got a hold of it. It was a message from Caleb and it read.


    I will bending at eight in the evening.


    A smile crept up my face as I looked at his text. It has been more than a year since Ist saw Giselle.


    Nor, do I ever wish to hear about her. Life has been going amazing since the day I gave birth to the


    bundle of joy of my life.


    My little bundle of joy. My Carissa.


    Shortly after meeting Giselle, I was so hyped up and emotional, I had a massive pain on my belly and I


    was rushed to the hospital where my water broke and luckily, I didn''t have anyplications and gave


    birth to my baby girl. She is the most precious jewel of my life. From the day, I had her nothing


    remained the same.


    It was as if God has sent her as apensation for all the pain and suffering he sent my way. I couldn''t


    even think of my life without her. She has got her father''s eyes and hair but with my lips and nose.


    Somehow, she got curly hair and I was told by Ruth that she got it from her. She had curly natural hair


    but she straightened it.


    After having rissa, I came back to France with rissa for my diploma. Ruth joined me and we


    three have been living in Paris as Ruth did me a great help looking after my baby when I was not


    around being an amazing grandmother. rissa was really closed to Ruth and Caleb stayed back in


    the states because of his work. He dide every now and then to us.


    I felt really bad because he couldn''t be with rissa as she grew up but he really supported me for my


    studies and it is how I ended back in Paris. Now, we stayed in Caleb''s penthouse in Paris with Ruth. I


    met Caleb''s whole family and they were really kind to me and my baby.


    I had never imagined that my life would ever be this beautiful. I could study and still be with my family.


    I heard the beautiful giggling sound of my daughter and got up from my desk as the drafts fell down


    from the table. I have been sitting for so many hours working on my designs and studying for the


    uing exams.


    Leaning down, as I picked up the sheets my eyes fell on the pacifier on the floor. The blue pacifier lied


    under my table as I reached it and picked it up. It was the second pacifier that rissa lost and here it


    was. I looked at it and narrowing my eyes, I walked out of my room to find Ruth and rissa running


    around the living room.


    Ruthughing as she ran before rissa who struggled to keep running with her baby limbs and


    watching the scene before me made me smile. Both are babies.


    I kept the pacifier on the table and jogged over to y with my kid. The happiest moment of my life as I


    spend my time with my beautiful baby, ruffling her hair and ying with her as she giggled and


    babbling and mimicking the words we spoke.


    "Mama!" rissa moved her hands up and down as she looked up at me wanting me to pick her up. I


    scooped her up in a go as she giggled and kissed her face. Her eyes twinkling, and her face radiating


    with happiness. Ruth pped and cooed at her as she came near to us and ruffled rissa''s hair.


    It was what I had always wanted. The only person missing was Caleb. But he would be joining us soon.


    ~


    I pulled my jacket closer as I walked towards the living room.


    "I am leaving! He said he would reach by eight" I told Ruth as I lean in to pick up rissa when Ruth


    got hold of rissa by her shoulder and pulled her to her.


    "She is not going with you," Ruth told me and I exchanged looks with rissa as I looked back up at


    her in confusion.


    "Why?" I couldn''t help but ask. rissa, not even a single time miss going with me to fetch Caleb from


    the airport. Caleb always demanded that rissa should be there when his flightnds, he only wants


    to see rissa first thing first when hees to Paris.


    "Actually I think she is really tired today. By the time you would being back, it would bete and


    you both would end up making her more tired. And it is cold outside. I don''t want rissa to catch a


    cold. So she will be waiting for her dad in the house only," Ruth shrugged at me and picked up rissa


    in her arms.


    She was right though, it was really cold outside and it would be hectic if Caleb''s flight iste then it


    would bete for us too.


    I nodded at them but inside, I thought how Caleb would react if he didn''t find rissa in the airport.


    Mentally preparing for his reaction, I made kissed rissa as I grabbed the car keys and walked out of


    the penthouse, and pressed the button to the elevator.


    It took me approximately to an hour reach the airport and as I waited at the entrance for Caleb. It was


    already eight and I looked back at my phone hoping to get any call from him and looked back


    continuously waiting for him. Fifteen minutes passed by and yet there was no sign of him. I tried to call


    and it said the phone is switched off, so judging the fact that the ne might not havended, I stood


    there patiently waiting for him.


    Thirty minutester, I called his number and this time it was picked up.


    "Where are you? I have been standing and waiting for you for about half an hour. Was your flightte?"


    I asked and heard him taking in a deep breath.


    "I am not in the airport," he said and I stood straight near the rail, which I was holding and in confusion


    looked here and there.


    "What? Did you miss your flight? Where are you?"


    "No, I didn''t miss my flight. Inded at seven. I am in Paris,"


    "What the hell? You should have told me if you reached before time. Caleb, I am in the airport waiting


    for you," I couldn''t help but gt disturbed as I yelled at him. As passersby looked at my direction, I


    walked back towards the parking lot to get my car.


    "Where are you?" I asked as I reached my car, still slightly upset with him.


    "Listen,e to Toit Paris View," I heard his voice and it was as if he was little out of breath. I stopped


    in my tracks as I recognized the name of the hotel.


    Toit Paris View was one of the five-star hotels in Paris and it was right near to the Eiffel tower. We went


    there with rissa for her first birthday, three months ago. I remember how mesmerized I was with the


    view of Eiffel tower. Even though it been more than two years since I have been staying in Paris, still I


    couldn''t get used to the tower''s presence.


    "What? Why are you doing there?" I asked as I opened my car door and got inside buckling my seat


    belts.


    "Listen, Sang! Don''t bete. I am waiting here for you,e here quickly. I will tell you everything once


    youe to me," he told me and I took in a sigh.


    "Alright, I will be there,"


    "Bye, babe!" I told him as I hung up on him and again drove off back towards the same route from


    where I came. He could''ve told me earlier. Now, I had to drive back again.


    Fortunately, the road was clear and within half an hour, I was right before Toit Paris View. The valet


    took my car and I looked up at the building. Just a short walk from the Avenue des Champs-élysées


    and the River Seine, sits a four-star luxury boutique hotel. From the outside, nothing, in particr, sets


    this hotel apart from any other in the surrounding neighborhood. The inside contains all of the


    amenities one expects from such an upscale enterprise: the top suites boast panoramic views of the


    Eiffel Tower and the Grand Pis.


    What strikes people of the hotel is the ambiance. Beautiful inside and outside. A subtle mix of modern


    design and elegant decoration. I walked into the ss doors and I was directly greeted by the manager


    who was dressed in a navy blue suit as he smiled and walked up to me.


    "Miss Carter?" he asked in his french ent and I nodded, giving him a smile.


    "Mr. Theller has been waiting for you in the rooftop. Let me guide you," he said and I nodded as I


    followed him towards the elevator. Last time when we came here, there was some other manager. I


    guess they reced him for his coquettish way of speaking.


    Caleb seemed furiousst time, for the manager who was flirting with me and I really hope he didn''t get


    fired or choose to leave the job because of Caleb and me.


    The lift stopped on the fifth floor and we took the stairs to the rooftop and I looked back at the time to


    see it''s already past nine in the evening. "Here we are miss," he said and I looked back at him in


    confusion as he held the door open for me.


    Is he not joining us?


    "Thank you," I responded to his gesture and made my way towards the rooftop. The breeze hitting my


    face and I looked back to find him closing the door behind me. But there was something that got my


    nostrils red up. It was a rosy smell mixed up with the chilly breeze of the night and what got my


    attention was the way the rooftop was decorated.


    Lamps and roses all over the roof, and the amazing view of the Eiffel tower. Anyone would be


    mesmerized but the person who stood in the middle, made me walk over to him as he turned around,


    with that handsome face of his as he took hold of my hand and ced a kiss on it, making me smile.


    "What''s all this about Caleb?" I asked as I looked around at the decoration and then back at him. He


    was in his ck tuxedo. I was confused but ttered at the same time. In my mind, there was this


    assumption I was making judging the atmosphere and somehow my heart started beating loudly


    against my chest.


    His eyes were twinkling, reflecting the lights from themp and he looked a little tanned. He got a new


    haircut with fringes and shaved near his ears. It suited his personality.


    "I like your haircut!" I told him as apliment and reached out to touch his hair when he got hold of


    my hand.


    "And I like the whole of you," he told me in a coquettish tone which made me chuckle. "What''s with you


    today? Did you miss me?" I asked and he smiled as he pulled me closer encircling his arms around my


    waist.


    "You miss people who are not near you but you are very near to me," he told me and leaned down as


    he touched his forehead with mine and I held his face as I made him look back at me.


    "Is everything alright?" I couldn''t help get worried with the way he was talking. He held my hand and


    ced a kiss on it as he took a step backward.


    "We went through ups and downs. Broke up! Got back together! Helped each other in difficulties, met


    each other''s family and dealt with each other''s past. But most importantly we made ourselves


    told that, I smiled and my eyes stung as got watery. Somehow, I was reminiscing our past as he spoke


    and I got emotional.


    "It was the beautiful moment of my life when you gave birth to rissa. Thank you, honey," he ced a


    kiss on my cheek and I chuckled because I already had an idea to where this was going.


    "My mom loves you, our daughter loves you the most and I need you. I can even think of any other


    woman in my life which is not you. I can''t even think my life without you anymore and I am tired of


    staying away from you and I want to name our rtionship because thest time when someone asked


    me where I was going, I told them I am going to my daughter''s mother," he joked and I burst out


    "You could''ve said girlfriend," I told him and he shook his head.


    "I want something, high from that status. Be my wife! I want to tell people I am going back to my wife,


    my daughter''s mother is a big sentence. I want to shorten it," as he said that I couldn''t stop smiling and


    at the same time the tears started to fall off my eyes as I took in what he just said.


    "Sang, please, marry me!" he got down on his knees as he pulled a ring box out from his suit and held


    it before me.


    "I thought after you finish your graduation, I would propose you, but it''s getting harder for me to stay


    away now. I want to live with my family, and my family is where you, rissa and my mother live. I


    really love you. You have no idea how you made me change to a better person and I look forward to


    you. I want to be with you. So will you marry me?" he asked and by this time I was crying like hell. It


    was really a bad idea to apply kohl on my eyes because I was sure, it must be all over my eyes by now.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "Please just say yes. Sang!" he sang and I chuckled raising my hand to him.


    "Alright. I will marry you and save you from saying a bigger sentence," I made the joke as his eyes


    widened and immediately he took the ring out from the box and slid it on my ring finger.


    "Yes!" he shouted in triumph and got up pulling me into a bear hug as I ended up crying being


    emotional.


    "I was so scared. Remember thest time," I heard him as he spoke about it. I recalled the time when


    we broke up because of Eden and Caleb proposed to me when I was angry at him. I had rudely said no


    to him thest time, but this the scenario is different. Like him, even I can''t think of anyone else in my


    life. I only loved Caleb.


    "Your mother knew about this, didn''t she? She didn''t allow me to take rissa out!" I told him and he


    nodded as he let go of me and I struggled to wipe the stream of tears that continued to flow. He passed


    me a tissue and being thankful, I continued to wipe my tears away as I looked up at him to find him


    smiling at my condition. I ended up pping his shoulder.


    "Ow! What?" he rubbed the area where I just pped as he looked at me with a look of bewilderment.


    "Look at you and look at me! Why are you so dressed up? At least you should have given me a hint


    about this! Just look at me. I look like a mess. I should have gotten ready nicely," I cried and he shook


    his head.


    "Typical wives," he joked and that earned him another p and heughed as he pulled me for a kiss.


    It was passionate but at the same time romantic and sweet. Our lips moving in sync as I ced my


    hand on his shoulder and he held me by my waist deepening the kiss.


    It has been such a long journey and yet it felt as if I was kissing him for the first time. My cheeks felt hot


    and as he let go and rested his forehead on mine, I looked back at the dazzling Eiffel tower under the


    dark sky.


    What else had I ever wished for?


    I got everything.


    So, its a wrap up for both Sangavi and Caleb. I know you guys went through so much of grammatical


    mistakes and what not but still you were able to make it this far. I will be soon working on this book and


    meanwhile, I would really appreciate if you can Vote for the book.
