Chapter 140: Cecile’s Tragedy Twenty Eight Years Ago
This was the first time Cecile tried to paint after the incident that happened twenty eight years ago...
’Yes! Past is past it’s gone with the time, the incident that happened then must not overshadow my whole life. Even today, I can start to move ahead... to go forward and accept the happiness around me.’
She looked at the view in the balcony where the sun shone brightly. She breathed and smelled the sweetness in the air with a smile.
’Today, I will paint a masterpiece like I have never painted before.’ Cecile thought before picking up the brush and stroking it on the canvas.
She was contented with what she has right now, a sweet, caring, very supportive and loving family. She realized she has a great husband, who had taken very good care of her all through these years, Karl had always been sensitive about her problems and tried his best to stand by her side always.
She thought she would never be able to love anyone again, but Karl is one of a kind man, you can’t keep from loving him once in his radius. Although theirs was an arranged marriage but slowly as some time passed, Cecile couldn’t stop herself from falling in love with him.
Yes, it is this love that kept her happy in all those years of marriage, She cannot put a finger on when she fell in love with him but his caring and loving gestures towards her couldn’t keep her love in hibernation for a long time.
Though she never said it in words to him that she loved him, but she sure always made him her priority and did everything for him and tried to show her love and care in everything she did for him. Even Karl’s actions were always full of intense love and care for her... but just like her he showed his love and care in actions... how good it would be had they both expressed their love for each other in words as well...
’Maybe I should be the one to say it first even after so many years of marriage I must take this step and confess my feelings to him...’ with that in mind, Cecile smiled.
But then she suddenly felt regretful. Regret for all those years she had wasted being quiet and she hated herself for that. So many Years passed away so quickly... and it was now that she realized one thing that she should be more vocal about what she really felt and thought from now on... She wouldn’t do things like a robot that was programmed to breathe and live simply.
She couldn’t ask for more. She was very grateful and happy for how blessed she was right now despite of what had happened with her twenty eight years ago...
