Ch. 39Chapter 23


Eros told Freya with a twinkle of fatherly affection in his eyes.

"And son, meet your son today. We have already given him a name, the same with which we used to call you." Eros said in a snigger making Justin suddenly go embarrassed. 

Justin scratched the back of his head going boyish and shy before his father. "Meet Peanut. You can decide his official name later with your wife." Eros carries the baby in blue onsie from the nanny and places him in Justin's arm.

The happiness in Justin's eyes meeting his son was unsurmountable. He played with Peanut devoting his complete time to him rather attending the party until the little bundle had grown tired and went to sleep.

The night Freya came out of the steaming washroom only in a towel after having a relaxed bath. Her cream colored skin was shining in the light as she applied lotion all over her body.

Justin was drinking every ounce of her beauty with the eyes of a hawk until she asked him the question that extinguished the entire fire in him.

"Justin, who is the heinous person who wanted to kill you through the accident with no trace of humanity?"

Epilogue

"Your dad"
Earth washed away under Freya's feet as soon as she heard the outright declaration from Justin's words. She stared at him blank with no emotions as though in a trance and Justin continues on his information.

"Since the beginning he did not want us together. I'm a mafia heir but it is not my fault to choose this life. God doesn't give us a choice on the birth we take up." There was a slight irritation in his speech. "If Tony said it straight away that he doesn't approve of our union, I would have silently walked away from you on my own because whatever our parents choose for us, it is for our best and we have to respect their opinion."

Justin gave out a hubristic titter. "What an irony, I go to save the man depositing two millions for his surgery when he tried to kill me." He looks down at Freya in affection nibbling her cheek. "I did not send him to prison even when I have all proofs against him because he is your father. Hurting him implies hurting you and I can never do that." Justin shook his head and looked towards the sky blinking away his tears. "I do not understand why your father missed this simple logic before harming me."

"I couldn't be a predator like him. If your dad does not live you cannot stay happy and your happiness is my happiness. That is why I saved him."

After what Justin revealed to her Freya did not talk anything about the topic even in future years to come. Justin expected her to stay reticent, go annoyed or at least stay angry. But none of the emotions what he expected came out from her. She completely avoided the topic like it never happened between them.

Justin did not know Freya had given the worst punishment to her father which any daughter might not give to her dad.

She broke ties with him silently without a third eye noticing about it.

Two days later Freya received a bouquet of roses as usual from her secret admirer. 
Dear Freya,

There is a pain which I often feel that you never know. It is caused by the suffering of sorrow in you. Forgive and forget. It will keep you healthy and happy.

With love

After Freya received the flowers she placed them in the crystal flower vase as usual. "Justin, there is no need to send me your wishes and flowers in the name of my secret admirer. You can say the words of your heart directly to me." She smiled and kissed his cheek.

Justin was startled at Freya's announcement. "How did you know that I'm your secret admirer?"

Freya hugged him laying her head on his chest. "Justin, I have been your girl friend and then your wife for more than seven years now. Don't you think I cannot recognize your handwriting?" She placed the hand written card in his hand and walked away leaving him in a shock.

Two years later they had a daughter too. Justin observed Freya continuously disregarded her father's invitations to Christmas, thanks giving and family dinners.

Freya never invited Tony to their children's birthday parties or any other occasion their family held. Even when he wanted to invite Tony, she stopped him.

"When I had forgiven him after facing the situation of life and death, why can't you?" Freya did not reply for a moment and later looked at Justin with an emotion he couldn't fathom till date. She was a much stronger woman than he recognized.

Sometimes years pass by with us spending our entire life with our partner but we still do not know him/her completely.

"When you need to hate a person, you need to remember him throughout your life. I do not want to hate my father because I do not like to remember him for what he did to you. Consider me an orphan. I lost my mother when I was six and I lost my father on the day you told me he attempted to kill you."

"Freya..." Justin tried to oppose but she cut him off. "I think it is time for me to go to the grocery mart. Very small amount of provisions are left in the house. Take care of children, I will come back as early as possible.

Justin understood Freya doesn't want to speak about her father. During the past years Tony tried to call Freya many times but she did not answer his calls, he came to her house to visit her but she did not even show her face to him.

He had to satisfy himself and return home desolate after meeting his grand children and son-in-law.

Five years later....
