Chapter 117 - His sins

She invited him inside. She didn't even notice Sara. She was left alone both of them went into the living room. How can her mother do this to her, because she got a son-in-law she forgot about her daughter. She just went all by herself. When she reached there even her sister was talking to him but she didn't even care to say hello to her. How can her family do this to her? For the first time she is being treated like that. As if she is cold air to them. She sat down close to him. But they don't give him any importance they were all busy talking together. 

Soon her grandfather came downstairs, everyone stopped talking. Her grandfather had an aura of king. 

He started scanning him as soon as he reached and he saw Sara close to him he looked at sharply. Seeing that Sara knew he was not at all happy with their closeness. She immediately went a bit away from him. He didn't speak anything to Michael, he just called Sara to the study. 

Sara became nervous about what her grandfather was going to say to her. But still she stayed calm and followed him to his study. 

The first thing that he asked after going inside was that she likes him. At first she was startled on hearing the question but soon she answered him back. She didn't like him but love him and she wants to be with him. 

His grandfather nodded and asked her one last question, why did she not tell them about her marriage. She just stayed silent. 

She had no answer for that. Seeing her silent her grandfather became angry. He angrily asked her why she did that and it was loud enough to be heard from outside. 

She trembled a bit but she didn't answer anything. She didn't even have any answer for it, she knew she decided to marry him on impulse and she never thought she was going to fall in love with him.  

She just said she was sorry for what she had done. She should have at least informed them about it. 

Hearing her grandfather sighed and said she would get ready for their wedding which was going to be held next month. She was speechless for sometime. She didn't even have the idea that her grandfather would accept them so easily and also ask them to hold a wedding. She nodded and left the study. 

Outside her mother and sister and also Michael was standing. They must have been eavesdropping about their talk. 

Her mother went to ask what was happening inside. She didn't show any expression and told Michael to go inside. 

Michael went inside and he was also a bit nervous. Her grandfather was looking outside of the window when he came inside. Michael greeted him politely. Her grandfather nodded and asked him a question that why he married his granddaughter. 

Michael said only one word, that he loved her.  He nodded and said the same thing that he said to Sara and surprisingly the answer was the same. He was satisfied with him but he didn't show anything and only told him that their wedding is going to be held in one month.

He was also speechless like Sara and he didn't even have the idea that he would talk about their wedding. He left the room. 

Meanwhile Sara told everything to her mother and sister. They were also shocked from hearing that but they were also happy and excited for it. 

Soon Michael came out, they congratulated him for the wedding. Everyone was happy about it except Sara when her grandfather said next month she remembered only her nightmares of her father dying. Her father's death day and her birthday were on the same day and at the same time. The last person her father was her, he died because he was trying to save her. 

Even thinking about it only makes her guilty enough to kill herself. She didn't want to make them unhappy once again so she just left. 

On the other side her grandfather looked outside of the window and sighed. In the past he tried so much effort to cut the tree of their love but it still sprouted. He can never wash away his sins he had done to his granddaughter, to his son-in-law and even to his grandson-in-law. He can't do anything except bring them together, maybe he can wash away some of his sins. Just because of his one wrong decision everyone he loved where in pain and mostly her granddaughter who he loved more than anyone else. This what he could only do for them. 

Sara walked out of the house and went to the garden. It is still the same as before when she was a kid. She used to play here with her father. 

They used to sit near the cherry blossom tree at the corner and put their legs at the pond beside it. She smiled thinking about the old days. How could she live like the olden days. She went to the pond and put her legs there. It was spring season so the cherry blossom tree was blooming beautifully. 

That tree was sowed there when she was born by her father and even his father's cemetery is beside it. When he was alive he always said that if he ever died he should be laid down near the tree so that he could always stay with her daughter. 

Flowers fall on her as if she was welcomed by her death. She smiled and greeted her death. She talked with him as if he was there sitting beside her and listening to her.  She even told her about Michael, how they and how she called for him and even about their wedding. Saying about her wedding tears started flowing from her eyes. She remembered that her father wanted to walk on the isle with her and take her to her groom. But whenever said about her marriage she would become angry and go away from there. She never wanted to marry thinking it as a waste of time. She only spends time in other things not in love and falling for Michael was her first experience, she now understands why her parents were so happy together.
