Chapter 184 - Life is short

" How long? Can't we just go home and then come back again?" Kevin asked.

Silvia cleared her throat and said," You know that is not possible."

" But why?" Kevin asked.

" Because you are a beast, now get out of here." Silvia said.

Covering his eyes again, Kevin said," Come on, you can carry on."

Glaring at him, Silvia said," You are becoming more and more shameless day by day Kevin."

" Shameless? Though I am your husband, I am still being a gentleman and closing my eyes. I am respecting your privacy babe and you are calling me shameless?" Kevin asked.

Silvia rolled her eyes and said," You-"

" No Sil, don't roll your eyes like that, your eyes will start hurting." Kevin said.

" How did you- argghhh forget it. You can open your eyes now." Silvia said.

Turning the door knob, Silvia said," I'll go out first and then you come out after sometime okay?"

Kevin nodded his head and said," Okay."

As soon as Silvia stepped out, she was greeted by a bunch of ladies who were waiting for their turn. 

If Kevin would also step out of the same trial room, what would they think? 

" What happened babe?" Kevin asked before stepping out of the trial room.

The ladies started giggling and whispering amongst themselves making Silvia red in embarrassment.

" Youngsters these days cannot wait until they reach home." A woman said.

" Yes yes you are right, they are impulsive and always so active when it comes to things like this." Another woman said.

Wrapping his arms around Silvia's shoulders, Kevin said," Let's go."

Silvia nodded her head and left the trial room along with Kevin.

" You ruined my image in front of everyone." Silvia said.

Taking the lingerie from her hand, Kevin gave it to the cashier and said," Ruined? Babe you don't even know them." before taking out his card.

After settling the bill, Kevin and Silvia walked out of the shop, hand in hand.

…..

" Hey Bella." Kevin shouted.

" Kevin." Belka said.

" Silvia, this is Bella Matt's assistant. I told you about her remember?" Kevin asked.

Silvia nodded her head and said," Yes." Before turning towards Bella.

Silvia was taken aback when she saw how beautiful Bella was. Being an heir of a multinational company, Bella had a different kind of aura which made her look much more attractive and beautiful. How could Matt not fall for a woman like her?

" Bella this is my wife, Silvia." Kevin said.

Bella smiled and said," It's nice meeting you."

Silvia smiled and said," It's nice meeting you too."

" I heard from Matt that you left because you are getting married. So congratulations." Kevin said.

" Thanks." Bella said.

" Congratulations." Silvia said.

Just then a man placed his long octopus-like arm on Bella's shoulders and said," I was looking for you everywhere." 

Staring at the skinny ugly looking man with long octopus-like arms and legs, Kevin pursed his lips and asked," He is-"

Bella smiled and said," He is my would be husband, Mark."

Silvia almost choked on her saliva when she saw the man standing beside Bella. All he needed was a big head and he would look exactly like an octopus.

" Oh I'll go get this call." Mark said before leaving.

" Are you sure about this marriage that also with him?" Kevin asked.

Belka chuckled and said," It doesn't matter anymore and my dad chose him for me so it's fine."

Kevin sighed and said," Alright, I wish you all the best." 

Bella smiled and said," Thank you, I'll send you all invites so please make sure that you come."

" When is the wedding?" Silvia asked.

" This Sunday." Bella said.

" That is fast." Kevin said.

Bella nodded her head and said," Yes it is but Mark has to shift to US by next week so we decided to get married before he leaves." 

" I wish you all the best." Kevin said.

Bella smiled and said," Thank you." before walking away.

After Bella left, Silvia said," Your friend is a very stupid man."

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes I know."

" Ah why don't you all make him understand and-"

" We did okay but he is still studip and it is not our fault." Kevin said.

" Hmm, you know how lucky you are that you found me? Huh otherwise even you would be sulking in one corner, mourning over your stupid ex-girlfriend." Silvia said.

Kevin nodded his head and said," You are right, I am lucky that I found you."

Happy with his response, Silvia intertwined their hands together and said," Let's go buy curtains for our room."

...

Highgate cemetery.

Placing a fresh bouquet of lilies on her grave, Matt sat down beside her grave and said," So now even Kevin and Chris know about it."

Pausing for a while, Matt asked," Why did you do that El? If you loved me, why did you do that?"

" She is dead, no matter how much you try she is not gonna say anything." The caretaker of the cemetery said before walking towards Matt.

Sitting beside him, the caretaker continued," For so many years I have been observing you young man. You come here almost everyday, talk to her for sometime and leave."

Pausing for her a while, the caretaker asked," The way you are behaving, I am sure that she must have been you lover."

Matt nodded his head and said," Yes she was."

" Hmm, so how long are you planning to mourn over her death?" The caretaker asked.

Matt shook his head and said," I don't know." He really did not know what was stopping him letting Ella go. 

" So what do you want to do? Waste your entire life waiting for answers which you will never get?" The caretaker asked.

When Matt did not say anything, the caretaker said," She is already dead young man. She will never be able to explain or tell you anything. Whatever she did and the reason behind it died along with her. And you are just wasting your life for no good reason." befire getting up.

" Life is very short young man so make sure not to leave any room for regrets. And it's high time for you to move on in life and get over all of this." The caretaker said before walking away.
