Her mother was broken. It was not her who was talking to Anna. These were emotions that were speaking now.
"Tell me, Anna... Why?" Marrie was aksing with tears.
Anna just lowered her head. She can't explain why because it was not in her reach. These matters were between her parents and she knew she shouldn't be involved in this matter.
"Mum... I..."
"Anna." She heard a voice and turned around and found Alex there.
"Give them to the aunt in the morning." He gave lemons to Anna.
"Thanks! And also thank you for coming." Anna was genuinely thankful that he came and attended the wedding.
"No Problem. I will see you at school. Take care of your mother."
She nodded and took her mother to the car. She knew that she needed to go back home otherwise who knows what scene her mother will create here.
.....
Back in the house.
Anna brought her mother back and made her lay on the sofa.
"Mom, wait for me. I will bring lemon juice for you. I will make you sober." Anna was just going to go kitchen but Mother Marrie held her wrist.
"Anna, sit with me. I want to talk today." Marrie had so many things in her heart and brain. But she never talked about this or shared this with anyone else. But today she is having that much courage to disclose it. Maybe it is her alcohol level affecting her.
Anna understood that her mother is going to talk about a serious thing. Everyone's real and internal emotions come out while being drunk.
Anna sat with her on the sofa and then Mother Marrie asked her,
"Anna, do you know my and Liam's first meet?"
Anna shook her head. She knew about how their marriage happened but not about their first meet.
"Our marriage was one side love marriage." Anna was shocked after hearing this! Until now, she believed that their marriage was arranged marriage so her mother was unhappy about it?!?
"Your father and I used to study in the same school. You already know that your grandpa was your grandfather's right hand. So our families also remained close. After mother's death, for some time I was at Walker mansion with your paternal grandparents." Marrie took a deep breath.
"It was the first time when we met, in his house. He was a few years older than me and was staring and envious of me because I was getting all his parent's love." Marrie chuckled remembering all those memories.
"Dad used to get jealous of you!?"
"Yes. A lot." Marrie said with a smile. Even if she was drunk, her brain was still working. It showed that those memories are her best memories and it was evident through her smile.
"Then?"
"I started going to school. My father also agreed. We both went to school together but he didn't use to talk to me. We used to exchange words when necessary. This continued for the next four years."
"What!!! Four years? Mom, are you kidding me?" Anna's eyes were coming out.
"No baby. This is true. We didn't talk for the next four years."
Anna held her forehead. How can they be so shy? Children of these days are so bold!
"Okay next?"
"I was 15 and he was 17 or 18. I received my first proposal. It was a guy who was very famous in our school. He proposed to me by giving a rose. I knew that I don't have either a beautiful face or a high score. I was an average child but he proposed to me was a big thing."
True, Marrie was not much beautiful like a fairy but she held a unique aura around her. She was confident as a child and even as an individual adult.
"But I rejected him because I liked someone else."
"You liked someone else? Who?"Anna curiously asked.
"The person I liked was.....
****
So, I mentioned Marrie being not a beautiful lady because, in most of the novels we read, every person is beautiful. But it doesn't mean that people who are average can't be loved.
I just wanted to convey this message... I hope you all got it...
Okay, so what do you think? The guy Marrie liked first, her first crush, was Liam or not?
I hope you are ready to read Liam's and Marrie's past. But this doesn't mean that it will disclose whole the secret which led to their separation and Anna's brother's death.
This will only tell us, why Marrie hates her father so much and how she fell in love with Liam.
Vote up guys!! I need motivation!!
