MELINA'S POV
************

By the end of the week , Riel's dad could stand on his feet, I was satisfied, my dad on his own was healing fast, things were returning to normal .

The smile on Riel's face showed it , it defined those happy days that he misses with his dad on his legs .

We have been talking to his mother on phone , we refused telling them who footed the bills and we have tried to warn them off asking my parents about it .

At the end of the week, Riel's dad was walking but uses a crouch for support, and according to my doctor friend he will get strong to his feet as days goes by.

"We are taking you home today dad" .. Gabriel said after we have confirmed from the doctor.

"Who ever is footing this bill, God will bless the person for me" . . He kept on saying 

I was chanting "amen" inside me, we tool him to the car, an then drove him to our house where the driver will take him home .

I knew I would miss him, the jokes and the adages, he is really a sage .

When the driver left.

I turned and I didn't see Gabriel again, but the entrance door was open. whatever he was up to.

"Riel!!" ..

. I shouted heading inside the house .

immediately I entered and locked the door.

"Lina " I heard behind me, he said it so low, not everybody would have heard him .

"Thank you " ... He muttered .

He was hiding behind the door, that is the reason why I didnt see him as I entered the house , his hands were behind him .

"For what ?" .. I managed to ask , knowing why he was appreciating but I didn't want him to feel I am doing him a favour, his happiness and mine are the Same.

He opened his mouth an close it back and then he went on his knee, yes one of them.

*It was not proposal, if it is what you are thinking*

" I promise not to leave you" .. He said first before he listed all other promises .

The promise ring was fine, it had something like diamond on it.

I couldn't believe my eyes, after he had finished reciting the litany of promises, I spread my hands and he got it fixed in my middle finger.

I jumped on him, crossing my legs and then pressed my lips on his, the softness of his lips, I missed it   .

"I love you" ..

"I love you more carino "

We continued kissing and then the door went ajar, I forgot to close the door.

Susan , Hillary and henry walked in, clapping .

"No PDA ".. Henry said .
"yes no PDA "... Hillary added .
" is it bad to say that I enjoy erotic scenes ". . Susan opposed with a smirk

I gave them a playful middle finger to show of my ring.

"That ring is nice" .. Hills  commented .

"Riel gave me a promise ring " .. I said

"Awwwwwwn " Susan said, I can't wait to catch the flower, you know what I mean .

*************

"Good news" mom said as we reached the hospital, dad has been untied after a month now if being in bandage like a walking corpse, you saw Lazarus pictures on story books, didn't you .

"What is the news mom " ..I asked with evert bit of curiosity that I could gather .

"In two weeks they will release your dad , the doctor said the wounds are almost dried up " .... My mom said with a big smile .

I know she had missed home, she had been there since she came the first day .

"That is cool, we will celebrate it right " .. I asked holding dad's hand.

"Sure little   Madam" ... He could talk well at that time, I didnt really spend much time with him , political figures visited him in the hospital and school was taking my time, but we visited every morning and Evening.

Me and my friends.

"okay Mr senator " I said with a smile . " mom, dad, next week is exams , wish us luck " ... I said looking at my friends who were standing behind .

"You guys are too smart to fail , good luck kids " ... She said , more like a prayer.

"Good luck kids " ... My dad's baritone came .

"Thanks mom, thanks dad " ... I acted the mouth piece if the clique .

We left to school as we were running behind time.

I always had my class different from theirs, I would have loved to switch courses but then if my husband was a lawyer , I don't have to be a lawyer too, so being an ambassador was cool.

After school , we all went to the hospital together before I dropped them off .

I was left with Riel who has been my room mate since no one was at home , w always got clothes from his house , he didn't bring his bag because staying with me was temporal .

"We can hang around, you know right ?".. Riel said as I killed the engine .

"yes I know, I thought of it too " ... I replied.

"Let's hang around then"... He opened the door stepped out of the car and bouncing it back .

I came out of the car too, he was waiting for me, we held our hands and then walked down the streets .

" so tell me your husband checklist " 
. he broke the silence .

I didn't really have an husband checklist , but I know what I wanted , besides it was too young to think of husband , but he perfectly matched my list .

"I don't have , I am weird , I know , but you are my husband checklist " ... I said , he released a smile , he blushed , his smiles are breath takers .

"You can say that again , not after I am this flawed " ... He said .

"Who said you are flawed " .. I asked .

"I feel that way " .. He sounded faintly

"Nope , you are the best one can wish for " ...I honestly said .

He hugged me from behind, kissed my neck and whispered a "thank you" that sent my neurons to work .

"Let's go get popcorn and have a movie night"... I suggested " please ".

"Okay, what are we going to watch then?".. He asked .

" Any Disney series" ... I said , I like Disney series .

"Hell nope !!, Disney is the reason  girls have high expectations on guys , they are just mere fictions and not that interesting " .. He blabbed.

"Come on, it just depicts true love and sacrifice , Cinderella walked on broken glasses , jasmine married a common thief ,Ariel walked on land for love , mulan disguised her self as a man , it is super cool " ... I tried convincing him .

" you win " .. He gave up .

We walked back to the house and drove to the film house to pick one of the series and then get popcorn .
