Chapter 172
**Acacia Point of View**
The whole complete event of getting married and consummating it passed by in a whizz.
I was only able to come back to my senses after having good filling brunch with Jerk. It was only after that, that I sat down for a moment and went on to remember and realize what all happened the other day and mostly the following night.
As they say, a full stomach with give you an active brain.
However, surprisingly enough, except for getting married in such a fashion without a proper proposal, I did not feel angry about having entered a marital relationship with him.
It was probably because I unknowingly became more accepting towards him or probably I too have some feelings for him that I'm trying to deny; nonetheless, I can be considered to be happy with the new chapter of my life.
I would never accept it but truth to be told, making love with him was one of the best things I ever experienced in my life.
He seriously has skills in that department. Not only is he crazily romantic with his words and caress, he is a devil when he is consumed with desire for me.
I'm not complaining it though!
After tumbling on bed with him for the first time, I realized such bed-ly battles with him are particularly amazing.
Sigh, I'm already twenty eight and I'm behaving like teenager!
"Mamma, mamma, I want pomegranate." And I was pulled out of my thoughts by my little man, who, currently is pulling on my sleeves to get the fruit.
"Alright. I'll prepare it for you in a moment." After nodding, he went of watch cartoon shows with Noemi in the living room.
After preparing fruit bowl for both the kids, I prepared some for mom and dad too and went to the cabin they are currently living in.
It was only after Igses took the chance to visit us two days after the wedding day that Jerk hesitantly let me out of the house. Otherwise that damn man only has brain full of sexual thoughts in him.
Every time we replenish our energy, he only has plans on trying out new positions and ways to make love. Although wonderful, it was so badly tiring.
Thanks to Igses who has been missing me for two days straight that he came to take his part of my attention back for himself. On the way, he also gave jerk a smug smile, silently telling him that he has had enough of his mamma's attention.
They had an hour full of quarrel with each other and my son came out as a victor in the end. Now that I have my hands full with Igses, Jerk went off to plan his so called surprise proposal.
Say, if I know there is going to a surprise, how is it a surprise?
Also, what kind of proposal can he give me now?
It is every girl's wish to experience something nice and amazing like being proposed by her boyfriend. Look at this Jerk, he directly went to marry me without fulfilling the before steps.
However, now that he took on a challenge to give me a proposal, even I want to see what he can come up with. Having him rack his brain and struggle to come up with appropriate ideas is not bad.
Some struggles are good for marital health.
"Cia, honey, what are you doing here? Come in." Just after knocking the cabin twice, mom opened it with pleasant surprise on her face.
I placed the tray on the table and sat on the small couch in the living room. "I made fruit bowl for the kids so brought some for both of you as well. Where's dad?"
She looked at the two fruit bowls before sitting beside me. "He is in shower. After Liam and his friends left for home yesterday, the cabin feels so empty."
"Right, Igses said that the university had some special projects introduced for students so they were notified to go back urgently. It's okay mom, aren't we going back too in a few days?"
"Hmm. Luckily, your cousins are coming for a visit after hearing about wedding. They will keep company by the time we go back." Huh?
Cousins are coming?
Now when did my cousins know about me and my wedding?
"You mean Uncle Oliver's three sons?" They clearly don't know of my existence and I intentionally asked mom and dad to keep it a secret; how come they know me now?
"Not just your uncle Oliver's kids but also your Uncle Levi's kids, your Aunt Luna's kids and your great-aunt's grandchildren too. I told them we are not in the town and will be back by the weekend. They will be waiting for us in Winters residence for us." She listed out.
Uh, okay! The whole batch is coming!
Why the hell are they coming over to Winters residence?
"Why? I'm sure they don't know about me right?"
"Now they do." Mom sighed again, this time, heavily.
"I don't understand, mom. What happened? Why do they know me now?" I asked, waiting for mom's to clarify it to me.
And it came as a shock!
"They remember." Anymore clarification is not required. Just those two words are enough to tell the whole sequence.
"They do?" I exclaimed. When I saw a particular glint of extreme familiarity in mom's eyes that wasn't there before to this extent of intimacy, I completely understood. "So do you all, right?"
"Hmm."
"When?"
"Right after your wedding ceremony. At first, I, your dad and Liam were bombarded by several flashes of memory almost blanking us for a long time. Liam was the one to recover first and then told us that it must be the original memories with you so we took time to calm down and recall everything properly. It took us some time to get out of that dizziness but when we did, all the three of us couldn't help but cry the whole night."
I know the feeling. It was one thing without memories and still accept me as a daughter and it is different when the original memories are added.
I know how broken and disappointed they must've felt.
"That whole night, we received several calls from our relatives asking is about the baffling situation. I, your dad and Liam spent the whole night explaining everything to them. It took them some time to believe in it but nonetheless they did. After all, the evidence is still running in their brain. They felt bad for you and expressed their feelings for the whole night. So once they all sorted out their own thoughts, they announced that they want to see you. One of the reasons Liam left for Tucson early is to receive and entertain them until we go back."
So my wedding with Jerk triggered the memories of everyone? That must be it. Didn't Lord Aubessee say before that even if Jerk doesn't have enough power to bring back the memories for the time period, there might still be other ways where fate plays its role in the right time?
This must be what he meant back then.
I almost forgot about the whole memories issue! If not for mom mentioning it, I wouldn't even think about it.
"With all the uncles, aunts and cousins coming, Liam will go mad managing them." A smile came over on my face when the thought of my relatives and especially the batch of my cousins appeared.
It's been so many years that I last saw them. Some of them must've already gotten married right?
Some younger ones should be in their university and school.
How long it has been when we all met and went on a movie or to an amusement park? Ah, I truly miss those days.
"If not for looking after Igses, I and your dad would've left early to welcome them too. These two days you were busy with your husband, that little boy missed you so much and complained how his father is taking away his mamma from him. My grandson was so cute when he was being jealous, you know."
I chuckled when I saw the adoring look on her face. These few days, Igses must've troubled them well. However, seeing how happy mom looks when she is talking about her grandson, no doubt she is loving the trouble.
"How – do you feel now? Dad and Liam, how do they feel?" After laughing for a while, I asked her hesitantly.
"At first, confused and extremely sad but later, nothing different. We knew the truth for a long time now and you've been with us for a few months now, when we got our memories of you back, the invisible little gap between us seems to be patched up. We are happy that we remember you in true sense now but to tell you, we loved you the same two days ago and love you the same today too. Your dad is especially grateful to have his memories back. You know how that old man is more partial and pampering towards you right?"
Partial, a little, I agree.
But pampering? When did dad pamper me? He's always the same to me and Liam.
"It's good then. Now that you all remember me, it feels like a huge rock is lifted from my heart. I'm happy, mom." I pulled her into a hug and with a few tears, I pushed all the bad things I experienced behind me.
After a very long time, my shoulders feel light!
They all remember me now, that's all I ask for.
