Everyone stood up waiting to see whose face was behind the veil. She confidently removed the veil as she said a lot of things without confirming first. When she noticed that everyone was shocked she slowly turned and had a look."How is this possible?"she was shocked too. She couldn't believe I would be back."Are you shocked to see me, mother-in-law?"I asked in a strange way that made me confused."Are you convinced now mother? Am so sorry Miss Cucu and your family. My mother came to your house with a marriage proposal without my consent first. I wasn't prepared for the marriage, I believed that my wife would come back to me one day and that day is today. I hope you would forgive me if possible. It's not my fault. My wife is back and she needs me."he apologized."It's okay dear, don't worry so much."Cucu's parents assured but Cucu still looked disappointed.Everyone hurried to leave the Hall as if they were running away from the ghost. And in no minutes we were the only five remainin

Anu decided to stay at home till when his mother calms down. This gave me the chance to study him so well. Yes, he was so handsome and charming. I found him attractive that I couldn't focus on my chores, he was attracting all my attention and all I could do was to keep my eyes on him and imagine things. I could imagine life with him as my husband, having kids that will resemble him. I could imagine beyond that, like how my handsome son would attract young ladies as how Anu is doing the same to me."Artie. What are you thinking. It's like you are lost in deep thoughts."Anu pointed one day."Am not thinking. In fact I don't think."I composed myself to lie."How weird! "He smiled. His smile used to steal everything from me, my mind, my reasoning, not forgetting my heart beat. Oh God! This man was driving me crazy. I would even talk to myself, asking myself why am I falling for him but the answers I could get from my heart were also strange. "No Artie, you shouldn't fall for this man, he'

"I hope the loser would forgive me. Let me apologise in advance and I hope you are both mature and won't take this personal, right?" He was beating around the bush."You are forever forgiven, right Anu?"I said and Anu just nodded with a smile that caused me blink my eyes several times to catch up my mind again."Alright then, the one who prepared these dishes is our loser for the night."he said pointing at the ones I made."Seriously! So Anu won again?" I said with my eyes widened."Again?"Mr Smith repeated."Yes. He had won me at lunch time too."I explained."Congratulations dear."mother said to Anu."A second! I won't be selfish and take all the compliments. Artie deserves all this since she is the one who taught me how to cook." He said with his gaze fixed on me.I felt like I wanted to ask what he was talking about but his gaze....it couldn't allow me to open my lips.He was staring at me and my whole body was shaking as if heavens called for me.Weeks later, His Highness Noble ma

"Mother! How come you are inside the house? I mean dad had told you not to step inside, did he give you a condition?" I whispered in mom's ears pretending to be hugging her."No dear. You don't have to worry about me. Everything is fine."she whispered back and smiled."Mother-in-law, what's that secret you are keeping from father-in-law? I really wish to help you out but I would have to know about it first."Anu said when Dad left us."It's nothing, trust me."she lied."You can share it with me please."Anu insisted."I will handle it myself. Don't worry."she assured but Anu didn't seem convinced. He came very closer to my mom and looked straight in her eyes for more than five minutes and later he fell to the ground."What's happening with him?"I asked."It's possible that he was trying to read my mind."mom said."What! Do you mean he knows about it now?"I asked.Wait! Was I fooling mother or myself? I knew that Anu knew the truth since he had already met with my real dad when we were t

"What did she say?" Anu asked the moment I returned back in the room."She doesn't want us to ruin dad's birthday which is tomorrow."I said."It's alright. Let's zip up for today and tomorrow."he promised.The night went so well and dad's day reached. Anu and I had planned a surprise for him.***Anu was to turn to a lion and pretend as if he wants to attack me. I was to scream for help. There my dad would come rushing to me. But instead of going to him, I would run downstairs where the celebrations were to be held. All this was to be done in the dark.And after that, we would switch on the lights and celebrate his birthday in an amazing way.We were demons that's why we liked doing great things in the dark but Mr Smith was a human so he had human friends who would wish to celebrate him on his birthday during the day. That for, the party had to favor both sides.Everything went so smoothly and perfectly till when it was time to unwrap the gifts.I don't know how this happened but as M
