old tales... wedding proposals-2

"You Will like her"

i groaned "you too?"

She just smiled at me "you remember the story about your great-grandfather Robert Louis Asheton".

"the one in which men from other kingdom captured the palace and killed the king by treachery and then Prince Robert Louis revenged his father and recaptured the throne".

" Yes, today I will tell you about the part of the story which only a few people know about, come sit by me".

"When the palace was captured and the king was killed, fifteen year old Prince Robert Louis had to flee from the palace. He was injured, tired and needed a place to hide. He was rescued by two sisters Elianor and Rose,they not only provided him shelter and food but also aided him to gather a army to reconquer the kingdom. in middle of all this my father fell for the elder sister Rose".

Robert Louis.

Rose Jane Brian.

Elianor Mary Brian.

" your mother's name was Abigail, right " I asked looking at her, she nodded.

"Rose lost her life in the conflict, she was killed by one of the enemy spies. Father was devastated, he wanted the younger sister Willow to stay in the palace as a Royal but she denied, so he gave the Royal ring and promised her that one day there families would be United."

I looked at grandmother with wide eyes "d-don't tell me that I will have to fullfill that stupid promise" the look on her face said that what I was thinking was true " this is so foolish I won't do it".

"Aaron" grandmother looked really disappointed "I expected better from you" saying this she walked out of my bedroom.

****

"Can you help me" I looked at the small girl in front of me.

I smiled "Yes ".

"I can't decide which is better"she said showing me two books "Mommy said I could get only one ".

I looked at the books in her hands " it's hard because both are good but I think you should go for beauty and the beast" a bright smile came on her cute face and thanking me she ran to her mother.

"Willow, call from your home" Amy, Al's daughter said.

I took the phone from her frowning "alec?".

"W-Willow I-I-I don't know wha- she just c-collapsed, please come I'm-I'm scared"

"Calm down alec, where are you now" I asked walking out of the bookstore.

"I c-called t-the ambulance, we are On our way to hospital".

"Okay, don't worry I'll be there" I passed Al who gave me a questioning look, I tossed the phone at him and ran.

"She must be stressing a lot, she's fine now but stress can be very harmful for her" said the doctor.

"C-can we see her"

He nodded "she's sleeping now but you can when she wakes up".

I sighed and walked to the waiting room to see Alec slumped on one of the plastic chairs.

I sat beside him and rubbed his back "she'll be fine it's just stress".

"It's your fault" he looked at me with red bloodshot eyes.

"w-what".

"She was stressed about you, do you think I don't notice that you were avoiding her for a week".

I had no answer for that because He was right.

"She asked you to do something and you said no, how could you Willow?" Saying this he walked out.

How could I do this to my mother.
