Endlesss Love (End)
That afternoon, David and Alea came to visit the twins. They were warmly welcomed by the entire Setiadi family. Apart from being Darian’s personal assistant at the office, David was also his best friend. In fact, Yasmin had known about the close bond between the two men since they were in high school.
“Honey, aren’t you tired of kissing baby Joziah all the time?” David protested, as Alea had been adoring the handsome face of baby Joziah non-stop since they arrived an hour ago. If observed closely, the two babies looked like duplicates of Darian, but one of them had darker brown eyes. Coincidentally, baby Joziah, with Darian’s signature dark brown eyes, was in Alea’s arms.
“Don’t tell me you’re jealous of this handsome little guy!” Alea squinted her eyes at David, her husband of three months and the father of the baby in her womb.
“You know how jealous I can be!” David replied, stealing a kiss on Alea’s cheek.
Alea laughed and apologized to Darian and Fahira. “I’m sorry for this childish playboy’s behavior!” Her words made Darian and Fahira burst into laughter together.
They still couldn’t believe that the romantic entanglements they had faced in the past had now unraveled so beautifully. Darian breathed a sigh of relief, his hand embracing Fahira’s shoulder while baby Jonah slept soundly in her arms. He was happy for his friend and former prospective fiancée. David, the playboy, had finally found true love. Just like himself, who had also found true love through a one-night mistake. A mistake that ended beautifully.
***
Two years later…
Fahira admired her appearance in the mirror, making sure that Darian would be enchanted and fall in love with her all over again, just like three years ago when they were still dating. The black long dress she wore had a simple yet elegant design that showcased her sexy figure. The silver high-heeled shoes with sparkling glitters matched the clutch bag that was already on the bed. Everything she wore was a gift from Darian, tailored to her taste. Darian always understood whatever she wanted, or rather, he always made an effort to understand and compromise. In their three years of marriage, they faced various challenges that tested their love. Sometimes, problems arose and disrupted their relationship, but with Darian’s mature attitude, they managed to resolve them all amicably.
Unlike their previous wedding anniversary celebration, which was held grandly at home with family and close friends, this time Darian wanted to surprise his beloved wife in a beautiful way. The mother of the two adorable toddlers who made him reluctant to stay at the office every day.
Fahira added the final touches to her appearance, tidying up her long hair and styling it into an elegant updo, leaving a few strands to cascade down the sides of her face. Before leaving the room, she sprayed her favorite vanilla lace perfume, the one Darian loved, all over her body.
Fahira found the house looking empty. Before going downstairs, she took the time to check Ariel’s room. However, it was empty, and suddenly her hand touched her forehead as she smiled. Fahira had forgotten that Ariel was no longer her little brother whom she always worried about. The teenager had grown into an adult. It was not right for Fahira to excessively worry about her younger sibling. Ariel was now 21 years old and a fourth-semester student of economics and business at a prestigious university in Jakarta, following in Darian’s footsteps. After graduating, Ariel was being prepared to assist Darian in his company. In fact, Darian planned to hand over the CEO position to his brother-in-law, as he himself would take over Yasmin’s position in the company.
“Shall we, Madam?” said a middle-aged man named Ari, pulling her out of her thoughts. He was the driver instructed by Darian to pick her up.
“Certainly, let’s go, Sir,” Fahira replied with a bright smile.
In about 20 minutes, Fahira arrived at a luxurious hotel lobby with a gold theme. She walked gracefully into the lobby, where two female hotel attendants warmly welcomed her and escorted her to her destination. Even Fahira herself didn’t know where she was being taken. She chose to keep her lips sealed, although her curiosity was making her heart race.
Finally, Fahira arrived at a ballroom in the hotel, beautifully decorated with pastel colors. A man in a silver suit with a beaming smile stood there, welcoming her with loving eyes. Although the lighting in the setting was a bit dim, Fahira could see the sparkle of love in his dark brown eyes, which were now fixed on her.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Fahira took steps toward the man she loved. She was so focused on the man with the dark brown eyes that she didn’t notice the thousands, even millions, of flower petals that accompanied her every step. Her only goal was to receive the warm embrace of the muscular man and hug him back.
“Honey!” Fahira whispered, still locking eyes with him.
“Special for you, sweetheart.” Darian closed the distance between them and planted a brief kiss on Fahira’s luscious lips. She closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the warmth that spread through her entire body.
“Are you hungry?” Darian asked, directing his gaze to the dinner set up on the table. He had prepared a romantic dinner for the two of them.
Laughing, Fahira shook her head. How could Darian ruin their romantic moment like this?
“I have something for you, my love.” Darian took out a black velvet box from his suit pocket.
“This is just a small gift from me. It doesn’t compare to all the gifts you’ve given me in my life,” Darian whispered as he slowly opened the black velvet box.
Fahira stood still as the beautiful sparkle caught her eyes.
“So beautiful!” Fahira exclaimed, tears of joy starting to form on her cheeks.
“You are the beauty in my life, my love. Thank you for all the love and our two precious children. I love you so much!” Darian placed the box on the table and delicately picked up the diamond necklace with a heart-shaped pendant.
Darian moved behind Fahira and fastened the diamond necklace around her slender neck. “You must always remember, my heart belongs only to you.”
“Thank you, my love!” Fahira whispered, holding the beautiful pendant with both hands.
“This is just the beginning, sweetheart!” Darian whispered, creating some distance between them. He grinned and clapped his hands.
A shower of rose petals fell from above like rain, along with a message that read ‘Happy 3rd Anniversary Darian – Fahira.’
“I love you, Darian,” Fahira said, embracing Darian tightly. He chuckled and planted a kiss on the top of Fahira’s head.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to be the center of attention for so many people?” Darian whispered, causing Fahira, who was in his arms, to tense up.
Before Fahira could ask, a loud chorus of anniversary wishes echoed throughout the ballroom, accompanied by bright lights that showcased the luxurious decorations. Yasmin descended the staircase, holding two handsome toddlers, followed by the entire Gavin family, David, and Darian’s extended family specially invited from Turkey.
Fahira tearfully reached out her arms as she knelt down to greet her two little heroes running toward her. The emotion was quickly replaced by the joy and excitement of the party that had just begun. After everyone congratulated Darian and Fahira, they rushed to the feast that had just been served by the hotel staff. This luxurious hotel was one of the newest establishments owned by Putra Corporation, a special gift from Darian to Fahira.
“Did you happen to read the name of this hotel, honey?” Darian whispered in Fahira’s ear.
Fahira hesitated for a moment, then lifted her face to meet his gaze, looking into his dark brown eyes that were also looking back at her. Fahira shook her head as an answer to Darian’s question.
“Fahira Hotel,” Darian continued, embracing Fahira.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“If I could turn back time, I would start everything beautifully. Without causing any pain. I will always love and cherish you with every breath I take. I promise, always love you, Fahira Ramadhani.”
Darian’s heartfelt expression made Fahira tighten her embrace. For her, it was not just about material things, but the genuine love that Darian had for her. She felt like the luckiest woman in the world.
