   Episode- 213 “meeting her family2”    Alisa’s POV:     My mom screamed, “She killed my Ruth… you are saying she is innocent…. Because of her my little Ruth died… I don’t care if I am bad mother to a murderer” anyone will see as a women who hates her own child and hate her, disgust in her.. but I just see my mom.. my mother.. I see a mother who is still grieving in pain for her lost child, I somewhat pity her… she said it right she is a bad mother to me but she is still good mother to Ruth… I am jealous of Ruth she got the mother to protect her forever…. I wiped my tear…   Edwin turned to Mom and warned as he was going out of control, “She didn’t murder Ruth… Ruth committed suicide,, she was fool she tried to get what does not belong to her… Ruth was never my girlfriend, she faked the relation to humiliate Alisa… Ruth was never a good sister to my Alisa, Ruth use to do drugs, drink like a maniac… she had countless boyfriends beside me, now you know what was your beloved daughter.. I can even show you proof….. and Alisa is not  responsible for anyone’s stupid actions.. and I won’t tolerate anyone pointing finger at my Queen” Mom was in tear, Dad was speechless… Grandma sat on the sofa as she heard this..     I saw mom sitting down as she cried, she was not able to take this truth about Ruth.. I knew all of this.. I knew she was on drugs, drinks and boys… I found her taking drug when she was 15… but I never had guts to tell mom because Ruth told me she will kill herself if she does… I hide it all in because I thought mom and dad will never like it…    Mom was crying miserably, I tried to rush to her to comfort her but Edwin pulled my hand and said, “No.. she needs to face what she raised and treasured .. she needs to face everything.. her every mistake…”    I took Edwin’s hand and said, “Please… cool down… please… she can’t handle this..” he nodded as he is breathing heavily… but he never let me go… Grandpa seemed to be shocked and angry…     Grandpa walked me, he pulled me away from Edwin and made me stand aside.. I was facing grandpa, Edwin tried to move to me but Grandpa said, “I need to talk to my granddaughter, your majesty… I do not trust you..”  I fear I have no way to fix this..     Edwin looked at me and said to grandpa with anger, “Then who do you trust that man with whom you set her date… he drugged her and was going to rape her and make the pictures public.. so he can take over your business… but I just want Alisa… and you don’t trust me… old man think again, because I won’t tolerate if you made her stand in this problem again then I will not forgive you…”  Edwin was angry and I know he will prove everything he said, he will state facts or turned the table by other ways…      Grandpa was shocked he looked at me and asked, “Is it true…” I nodded    I replied, “Yes… Edwin saved me…” everything went silent for few seconds.. this fear is rising inside me..     Grandpa sigh.. he went silent for a moment and then asked, “Alisa… are you sure about him… do you trust him.. he has harmed you before… I do not like him either… but now… as I see him fighting for you against your parents, I wished all this time you could do this… if he is going to do protect you like this all his life then I will think about this marriage…..” I won’t step back.. Edwin is standing beside me supporting against my parents and I will support him.. because I want to be with this man who loves me and protects me.. who knows me more than myself…..       I replied, “I know he won’t hurt me.. he loves me…I trust him..” I stood confident….      Grandpa nodded and said to Edwin, “Your majesty… this is the only time I trust you.. don’t break it.. take care of my granddaughter… I am ready to give you blessings…”    Edwin was normal now.. he smiled and said, “I promise I will take care of her…” Grandpa hugged him. and me, I smiled.. finally!!!!… Edwin and grandpa are acting like this huge war never happened before … it was not a fight maybe it was a way to test each other… my life is filled with protective men… first grandpa and Edwin….    I ran to grandpa and hugged him, it feels like everything is fixed, grandpa patted my head and said, “My child.. be happy this old man wish your life filled with happiness…” I smiled and said, “Thank you grandpa…” I sneaked a glance at Edwin he looks satisfied.. and happy… Thank you Edwin, without you all of this was impossible…    Grandpa said, “So.. when is the wedding… we have a lot to prepare…” Edwin said, “Next month.. my grandfather arranged a feast for you to discuss about the wedding…” I was now standing beside Edwin and he placed his hands on my waist… I pushed it away lightly, what will grandpa think.. he needs to behave in front my side of the family…    Grandpa  said with  a nod, “Sounds good… I was always fan of his when he was the King.. you young people don’t know.. when he was young everyone take him as a hero… I heard everyone was scared of him… I would be glad to eat with him…. I don’t like his grandson but I do like the pervious King of N country…” Edwin’s face cringe… I was amazed, my grandpa was fan of his grandpa… this insane..  I never imagined this…but he was savage when he said he don’t like Edwin but like his grandpa instead…        I heard dad, “I won’t be at the wedding…” my heart shattered… I was just looking at dad.. the happiness I felt a moment ago scattered into pieces.. my dad don’t want to be at my wedding.. what can hurt like this…    Grandpa said, “What non sense are you saying” grandpa asked this with anger and lot of disgust.. I noted Edwin’s feast tighten..    Dad turned to me and walked to me, Edwin was standing beside me.. I said, “Dad… please..” I found no other words to explain.. in two years he never spoke to me.. neither do I hope any words today…    Dad said as he is looking at me, “He is right…. We have no right to blame you for Ruth’s decision… maybe we were hard on you while we raised you, maybe we ignored you… but it was because you were not what you were supposed to be, you were inferior in everything …. But by little Ruth was superior, she was good at everything … she was my precious daughter, I don’t care what mistakes he did she will all ways my precious daughter, I admit I loved her more, many more than you…. but you and this person beside you cause her death in some point… if you could have given this man to her maybe I could have  seen her alive now, if this man could have taken her as his wife she could have been alive….. but you both didn’t… and I can’t forget the feeling when I saw my child dead and I had to bury her.. that feeling is inside me… I can’t forgive you… it’s better if  I won’t be there… ” I was staring at dad blankly… I made sure to grab Edwin’s hand so he won’t do anything to dad…      Grandpa screamed, “Stop this non sense…”    Dad said back, “Sorry father… but as Ruth’s father.. … my inner self won’t allow me to do this… Alisa, I know I was always a bad father to you, but now I don’t want to be good father either..”     Dad turned to Edwin who was glaring at him, Edwin said, “How dare you?!!.. how dare you spit nonsense about Alisa…” Edwin was about jump on dad… I pulled him back saying, “Edwin.. stop!.. he is my dad.. he has right to be angry on me…” Edwin looked at me with anger and shakes his head in ‘no’.. I said, “Please…” he looked away pushing his long hair away from his face, he was angry.. Dad was looking at me expressionlessly..     I said, “Dad… I never wanted Ruth to die..” I want to explain, but I do not find words, I know I have not done anything wrong, I shouldn’t be apologizing .. so I have no explanation other than this fact that I never wanted her to die..     Dad took a deep breath and said to Edwin, “Your highness, take care of her….. this is the only thing I can say as he father…” Edwin scoffed in anger..    Dad looked at me and said, “Maybe I am bad father…. but seems like you were always a good person…. Take care….” I wanted to stop dad, but I do not want to force him… I want dad to walk me to isle but he should feel proud to do that.. and dad spoke to me first time in 2 years,,,,, before Ruth passed away he use to scold me, tell me to be like Ruth but,, after she died ii lot that too.. Ruth death took everything from me.. I could feel my tears wetting my cheeks.. but I don’t know am I happy that he talked to me or Sad that he throw away the right of his to walk me to isle and made my wedding incomplete already.. this is too much of a punishment for me when I did nothing wrong…
