Chapter 17(Final update)
"Michael am so sorry. I know I should have been beside you in such a trying moment but I wasn't. I acted foolishly without thinking. I was blinded by anger. I know that is not enough reason but please forgive me" she spoke through her tears
"baby there's nothing to forgive you for. You did what anyone in your shoes would do. If I didn't live such a rotten life in the past we wouldn't have been in this situation now"
"Michael the past is past. It shouldn't have determined my actions towards you" she protested
"how about we forget what has happened and forgive each other" Michael suggested smiling
"sounds nice to me" she kissed him briefly "I love you.... don't ever forget that" she told him after she broke the kiss
"I love you too Crystal... So so much" he hesitated and the put his hands into his pocket to retrieve a small red box
"babe I know you have always wanted a very romantic proposal" he laughed nervously as Crystal smiled through her tears
"I would give you that and even more but I don't want to delay this anymore" he opened it and Crystal gasped
"I love you Crystal.. You intrigued me the first time I met you. Crystal you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to grow old loving you.. Please would you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Crystal will you marry me?" he looked really nervous but he poured all the love in his heart into his eyes
"yes yes yes again... I will be happy to be your wife" she was still crying
Michael slipped the ring unto her finger
"its beautiful.. I love you" she held his face in her hands "so much"
Michael thought his heart would burst from too much joy. He felt something in his heart click into place as he sealed their promise with a kiss.
*******
Crystal ran back all the way to the house brimming with happiness "mum.... Mum" she yelled
As soon as she sighted her mum on the front porch she hurried to meet her "mummy he proposed" she was out of breath but that didn't stop her from showing off her ring
Her mum's eyes moistened with happy tears "oh Crystal.. Its beautiful" she had no reservations against Michael again. His coming all the way to their family house was proof enough of his love for Crystal "my baby girl is all grown up now" she sniffed back her tears " come on.... Lets go inside this calls for celebration. As if I knew this would happen, I baked your favourite cake" she led them inside
Crystal felt Michael hold her hand under the table. She smiled at him and took another bite from her cake. It pained her to think that she would have lost Michael over such a trival issue. She had learnt her lesson. As far as she was concerned, nothing was going to ever come between her and Michael again. No matter the hurdles they faced, she was sure that their love would prevail.
