" Ma'am, I have decided. I am going back to father. " He declared.
Gladys smiled on hearing his decision. " That is a good decision. I am sure you npt will not regret it. "
" But...Is it fine if I go with you to the orphanage. For kist this week ? " He asked .
" No problem then. " Gladys smiled at him.
***
As he had promised after the one week he returned back to the Mansion. When he reached there he found David and Jenny waiting.
Gladys had told them everything and asked them to give him time.
" Father..." Calcel called on seeing David. David got up and he opened his arms for him.
Calcel went and hugged him.
" Father, I am sorry for everything that happened and abandoning you. " He said in the hug.
David pulled him away and held his shoulders.
" When someone realises their mistakes and asks for forgiveness. They are always forgiven. Welcome back home my son. " David said and hugged him again.
After that Jenny too hugged him. The maids who witnessed this were very happy.
After ths greetings they sat down to talk.
" Where is May ? " Calcel asked seeing that she were not around.
" She hasn't returned since you left. " Jenny implored.
Calcel got up surprising them. " Father, Jenny allow me to go and bring back my wife. " He declared putting frowns on their faces.
" ..You..you...called May your wife ? " David asked.
" We are married . Aren't we ? " Calcel asked.
David said and got up with a grin on his face. He held the sides of his shoulders again.
" Good. Go and bring back your wife. But...your ring is not on ? " David said and asked.
" It's just in my room. I will go and pick it. " He spoke bringing a grin on David's middle aged handsome face.
" Good. " That's all David could add on.
Calcel bowed before him and left.
Jenny couldn't wait to talk about this. " Mr David, Did you see that. Did you see how much he has changed ? " She couldn't help asking.
" My great grandfather told me that. Once something bad happens, Something good will always follow. Alyssa's death was really a spear to most of us, But at least it has put everyone back in the right path. " David said to Jenny.

At the Hospital...
The real Alyssa ( Now Marvis ) was still in coma after having her operation and face surgery. Marvis' Father had accepted to go back with her home but Gladys had done the payment since they were not financially stable. He was trying to check on her even though her step mother Matt would complain that her husband was not giving her enough time.

May was home alone when she heard the knock. On opening her eyes landed on Calcel and she almost didn't believe it.
" Calc...what...brings you ? " She stammered while she questioned.
" May...I came to take you back home. " He said.
She first passed her hands in her hair to ensure she had heard him right.
" First repeat what you just said ! "
" I said I came to take you back home. My wife..." He said adding on this to prove his point.
May's lips formed into a grin. " ....are you serious about this? " She asked.
" Mmm..." He said and even brought his hand for her. She saw their wedding ring on his finger and almost coveref her mouth in shock.
" Let's go back. " He said melodiously.
May gave him her hand with a beam on her face.

Calcel returned back with May and she greeted everyone she found home.
" Let's have a family reunion dinner today. I am so happy that my family is full again. " Uttered out David.
" I am in. " May said and added a gentle laughter.
' I knew that this would happen once Alyssa is gone. This is the time to forget the past and start a new life. This is where I belong. Alyssa, I am sorry but you shouldn't worry because I am going to take good care of him. ' May spoke innery seeing that all her plans had succeeded.

Later after dinner, May and Calcel went to their room.
" May, I will shower first.." He said as picked his towel to the washroom.
" Okay..." May responded as she sat on the bed. Since they got married Calcel had never talked to her in any friendly way unless they were quarreling.
May stayed as she reorganized the bed. She went to her wardrobe and picked her night dress which sje changed into and after picked a novel .
' Let me wait for him from this and see what he will do. ' She thought .
Calcel came back after putting on his night wear. He found May pretending to read the novel and entered the bed from the other side. She lied down slowly with his back facing her and covered himself with the blanket.
" Good night.." He said for the first time.
" Good night too." May answered but not satisfied. She thought that maybe he would do something better just a word.
' Geez ! ' She sneered and put the notebook back. She switched off the lights and also slept with her back facing his.
Calcel was still awake and he felt her enter the bed and then thought of turning to face her but something stopped him and he stayed like that for the whole night.
***
It was another two weeks of the same situation. Calcel returned back to the Company and David continued with his mayor duties. Calcel was trying hard to communicate well with May and she was getting happy and happier.
Alyssa( Now Mavis ) was still in the hospital and it's been almost a month. Gladys went to check on her once a week after her Sunday Service at the church. She was getting used to looking after the children and they were getting fond of her. In this situation everyone started healing from the pain of losing Alyssa.
It was a weekend when Calcel talked to his father.
" I like the way you are not handling things with May. " David begun.
" I am trying to be a good husband father." He answered.
" Everyone can see that. But son, I wish you could do something better.." Said David putting a frown on Calcel's face.
" What do you mean father ? " Calcel couldn't help asking.
" Don't think too much. At least take May out or something like that. Just as any other husband would. " Suggested David.
" Fine Father. I will take her tomorrow. " Calcel accepted immediately.
