"They were about to get married"
"None of them thought it was to be so quick"
"His mother called for it"
"And so did she insist"
Karina was sitting in the back with William,the two holding hands. His mother was full of happiness when she saw his son finding comfort with another person,his future wife to be precise. They were heading to the place where Mr and Mrs Anderson lived after leaving William with Bryan. Mr Anderson had seen Karina's picture which his wife sent him but he hadn't seen her infront of him and so he wished to see his daughter in law standing infront of him rather than in a photo.
Inside the car were five people. Bryan was also there inside the vehicle on the front seat and he felt exhilirated to meet his great and kind master. He wore casual clothes and cancelled all his important works today just to have a good time with William's father. Karina wore a lemon yellow dress which had blue flowers printed on it. It was a full sleeve dress and the white heels on her feet matched with the simple yet elegant look she had in mind for today. Her hair flowed down and was naturally curly from the ends. She didn't apply much makeup on her face. William who was her partner wore a shirt which was hidden by the coat which he wore on top of that. Mrs Anderson didn't have to think about anything while she dressed up because she knew that her husband would like her in any type of dress or shoes she wore. But more then his wife's return Aidan was looking forward to meet his son and his wife.
The tyres stopped moving on the road and outside was the house which belonged to William's parents. Instead of having the most grandest of mansions Aidan and Gabriella liked simplicity and had a normal sized house with all the features a normal house would have. The people got out of the car and the sky was blue,the air was fresh,the flowers tilted their head to and fro in the breeze which played with them. It seemed like a perfect day. They went inside and Aidan's face lit up into a smile when he saw his son. William was on his wheelchair but him being infront of father was enough to make Mr Anderson happy.
"Good afternoon Sir" Bryan gave his greeting to which his master gave him a hug too while saying
"If you are also here then the afternoon will be good for sure"
Everyone seated down in the living room. Inside that room there were photo frames hanging on the wall. They were family photos. Most were of William with his parents and some also had Bryan in them. Gabriella noticed how Karina was looking at the pictures and said
"I think we should take another after your wedding. Your part of the family now too" Karina smiled when her father in law spoke
"So this is your pick Gabriella?" Asked Aidan from his wife who in response said
"Yes, isn't she lovely?"
"She sure is and so is her brother but we don't know when he is going to get married. Bryan do you have a girlfriend?" Inquired Mr Anderson from his trustworthy companion who had fulfilled his responsibility to take care of his son.
"No Sir. Iam not really interested in anybody" Bryan told when the maid started to add the dishes on the table for them. William's mother would only have the maid wash and clean the house while the cooking would be hers to do wether it was breakfast,lunch or dinner for her husband herself.
"Well then you should get married soon too."His master advised him and they all started to eat the food. William's dad didn't like the maid's cooking as much as he enjoyed his wife's but since Gabriella was busy in tasks of her own he had to manage with the dishes the maid would cook him.
When they were finished they began to discuss various things when the wife of the owner of the house had something to tell them
"William dear we were thinking about having your wedding after a week" This didn't just surprised William but also surprised his father ,Karina and her brother as no wedding took place that quick. They had an engagement,shopping to do, things to complete,places to book and decor to be picked for the place. Then why was there wedding being held so quick.
"Mom that seems to quick" William said. He did like Karina and also accepted her as his partner but the wedding being held just after one week had him in confusion.
"Yes, Gabriella why do you want them to marry so quick?"
" Aidan the earlier the better " This didn't really explain the exact reason for William's mother to want her son to marry so soon but she then spoke.
"Can you three come to the garden. I need to show you all something"
"Gabriella we all know you brought new flowers for the garden. You will never get enough of showing them would you?" William's mother smiled and took the three to the garden while Mr Anderson didn't feel the need to go with them as he had already seen the pretty and amazing flowers which wore velvety dresses of different colours and made the garden's majesty even more beautiful.
They went to the garden and it was the house of many flowers,some which had newly bloomed and some which were still in the forms of buds.
"The flowers are beautiful"said Karina looking at the colourful flowers.
"Thank you Karina but this isn't about the flowers."
"Then what is about mom?"asked William as they all seated down on the chairs in the garden.
"Well..."
The three waited for Gabriella to start speaking and tell them the reason why she wanted William and Karina to take the status of husband and wife so quick.
"William the day I visited you was the day when your father had a doctor's checkup. Jeffrey went with him and the doctor told Aidan that everything was alright. That is what he told Aidan"
"What do you mean Madam?" Bryan questioned and his Madame's tone and the gloomines in her voice putted him in worry.
"I had told the doctor from the very first checkup that if anything serious ever happened with Aidan then he won't tell him. You know how your father becomes worried fast" This made everyone not except the best of whatever Gabriella was telling them.
"Mom is father okay?" William asked,his happy mood vanishing into concern and tension.
"William he got cancer,lung cancer and for the treatment he will need to go for surgery" William's face became blank and his body still. He was astonished and Karina placed her hand on his shoulder
"William he will be alright. Won't he Auntie?" Gabriella nodded and was calm while the others were stressed for Aidan's health.
"It isn't much severe and is only at stage one which is the start. It can be easily treated but after the surgery patients take months and weeks to recover. That is why I thought that you two should get married in front of his eyes instead of him missing that special occasion" Told his mother to William who strongly disagreed with her.
"No,mom father needs to get surgery first. We can get married later" Gabriella held William's hand in hers and proceeded to tell him that
"William dear we will be leaving from here very soon" William's mind crashed hearing this and he became puzzled. He blinked and his eyebrows knitted.
"Where are you going?. And why are you going?" William pulled forward two questions and in return his mother putted the answer
"We will be going to your uncle Bob's house as he and your father need to have a detailed discussion on some things about busines you know"
"Madam if its important for them to get married so quick then I suppose its for the best" Bryan spoke out and his words told about his thoughts on the situation.
"Karina dear you won't feel bad would you?. I know girls have so much to do before the big day and hurrying you would be wrong but the cause is infront of you" Karina looked at William and Bryan. All the eyes were on her and she had to speak to tell them that
"No,Auntie its alright and I hope that uncle gets well soon"
"He will" Gabriella smiled happy with the response and then got up from the chair and Karina's hand was in William's who was on the wheelchair. Their fingers intertwined and even if their early marriage was strange for the two they were ready for it.
William's mother was to be at her husband's house to take care of him and also make sure that he doesn't get a word about his health go into his ears because her husband was the one to make the smallest of problems seem as the end of life for himself.
Dropping Gabriella at her own house William went back to the car with Karina and Bryan. While they were travelling back Karina asked them
"Would one week be enough to make all the preparations" Bryan smiled when he told his younger sister that
"Madam Gabriella had already told me that she has already given the order of your wedding cards. The garments and dresses won't take much time either and she has already selected the place. All that sounds good to me and I am sure it will end well too"
When some more time went by the were at the mansion. The mansion was in the same state in which they left it. And with Karina's presence in his life William felt that the mansion was his home once again. She was his home and comfort zone now. Bryan and his Madam had it in mind that the two were to embark on a journey which every couple goes through and Gabriella believed that this journey would be full of love,care,trust and kindness,something which she had always wanted for her son and now William was finally getting it through Karina's existance as she was about to play the main role in his life. His life in which there were many cracks,cracks which were taped and glued together through hopeful words which avoided the danger of him falling apart completely. But at the present time he didn't need those hopeful words anymore because Karina became hope for him.
