Purple Romance

FIRST HOSPITAL.

PRIVATE WARD.

Ad-Din was feeding Maria some fruit when her aunt Anne arrived.

Anne Suwait opened the door and saw them and looked surprised but smiled and walked in closing the door behind her. She knew her niece was dating someone but she didn't know he was so young just like herself.

''Portia, how do you feel?'' Anne asked as she placed a flask on the table.

''I'm fine aunt. The doctor said I can go home tomorrow morning. Aunt, meet Ad-Din, he is my boyfriend. Ad, meet my aunt Anne Suwait''. Maria introduced them.

''Hi, Aunt, I am Ad-Din, pleased to meet you''. Ad-Din said and stretched forth his hand to greet Anne.

''Hi, I didn't know your boyfriend was this handsome?'' Anne joked to ease the tension. She shook his hand and smiled.

''Aunt, don't tease me, okay?'' Maria blushed as she looked at Ad-Din.

''I'm serious. He is so young and handsome. You have good eyes, Portia''. Ann said.

''That's because I'm also beautiful''. Maria said and they laughed.

''Tell me, did he come to the school to make trouble again? When I heard you suddenly fainted at school that was what came to my mind. I told you to call the police when you see him. You still see him as your father but what kind of man is he. He only knows how to sabotage and make his own daughter's life miserable''. Anne scolded fiercely and worriedly.

''Aunt, I'm fine now. Don't worry. Next time, I promise to call the police. I wasn't expecting him to go to that extent. I was shocked and didn't know how to think straight'' Maria replied.

Ad-Din's phone rang and he excused them and went out.

"Maria, I have to pick this call" Ad-Din said before going out.

''Portia, you should look for a new apartment that he won't be able to find you. You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. This time, that boy saved you. What will happen next time no one is there to help you? A father who used your tuition and even took a loan in your name is not worth calling family" Anne said worriedly

.

Ever since they started living together, Marley Suwait has being coming every now and then making things difficult for Maria.

''I have already found a place. We will move there very soon after I get out of this place and settle the payment next month. It's a two-bedroom apartment for the two of us. Aunt, you should quit your job. I have enough to take care of both of us now''. Maria held her aunt's hands as she spoke.

"In that case, let me add some money so that you can pay it off at once" Anne Suwait said.

Ad-Din entered back into the room and look distressed and Maria noticed and spoke first.

''My aunt is here with me. You should go home, Ad-Din and rest''.

''Aunt, please take care of Maria for me. I have to go back home and take care of something''.

''Sure, I will. You should go and rest''. Anne said.

''I will call you, Maria'' Ad-Din said and went out.

''Such a good young man. Maria, you really have an eye for good things just like your mother''. Anne covered her mouth after saying that and added ''I didn't mean it in a bad way, Portia''.

''Aunt, is okay. I am not bothered by that''. Maria assured her aunt. It was no secret that she and her mother shared certain traits but as long as Maria was concerned that was all it was. She didn't want to think about someone who abandoned her first.

''I brought you some soup to drink. Let me fetch some for you. Is still hot''. Anne Suwait as when she realised Maria was pacing out.

''Thanks aunt''. Maria smiled gratefully.

.....

DENARIUS MANSION.

Ad-Din walked into the main mansion where his parents lived and saw that his parents and grandfather were there in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Kash and Karen.

The call earlier on at the hospital was from his father asking him to go home.

Ken Denarius was a military man who was in his early fifties but still looked young and strong. He joined the military at age 18 and has being there since. He didn't accept to return and manage the companies with his father but stay in the military and now holds the highest position there. He was an upright man who followed the military principles.

''Ad-Din, come and sit with me''. Mona Lisa Sun was the first to speak. She still treated Ad-Din like a kid.

Ad-Din noted and went to sit beside his mother. He saw the pictures on the table as he sat and smirked shaking his head. So, this was how Karen wanted to play? He thought.

''Ad-Din, child can you explain these pictures? I want to hear everything from your own mouth. Is it true that you are dating your English teacher who is older than you?'' Old Master Denarius was the one who asked the question.

He sat at the head of the table in the hall.

''Yes, Grandpa. It is true''. Ad-Din didn't beat around the bush.

His answered shocked everyone at the table. Mrs. Janet Kash, Karen's mother gasped while Karen chuckled softly. Max sighed and looked on.

''Ad-Din, did you just say it is true?'' Mona Lisa Sun asked while looking at Ad-Din.

''Yes, mom. It is true. I love Maria''. Ad-Din said and looked at Karen's face.

''How is this possible? Can you explain the situation to us? Did that teacher threaten you to be in a relationship with her? What is her motive for seducing a kid like you?'' Mrs. Janet Kash said.

She didn't like the way the family were tackling the situation and decided to do the questioning by herself. To her, Ad-Din was just a naive boy in love. He needed to be brought back on track.

Ad-Din chuckled and looked at her saying ''what era are we in? Stone age? Do I look like someone who can be threatened that easily to you? Is that how your daughter put it to you? Is that why you decided to report me to my parents and grandpa? Karen, this is the worst kind of damage you could do to your parents''.

Karen's smug face turned pale. Ad-Din's face and voice were cold and distant

Truth was, everyone in the Denarius family knew about Ad-Din's temper very well. He wasn't someone who did things rashly and thoughtlessly. He was a careful person whose decisions could never be changed. Everything he did was reasonable and acceptable. For them to be faced with such a situation, at first they were all shocked and didn't know how things got to that far and wanted to find out the truth from him.

When the Kash family came, they spoke a lot and discredited Ad-Din and blamed the woman for deceiving him. Especially, Janet Kash. She said a lot of things about the woman that Ad-Din was dating.

At first they didn't believe it because they never thought Ad-Din was even capable of dating anyone. Ad-Din avoided anything that had to do with women. The only women he gave in to was his mother and cousin.

''Father, mom, grandpa. Everything Karen said to you is probably correct but she left something out''. Ad-Din said and removed his phone to make a call.

Everyone looked at him. Karen's hands clutched and she bit her tongue. She wondered what Ad-Din was going to do next by suddenly making a call.

''En, you can come in now''. Ad-Din said and hung up the call.

Soon the door opened and Calia walked on surprising everyone. She bowed shyly and greeted them.

"Grandpa, aunt, uncle, elder brother. Mr. and Mrs. Kash, good evening"

''Calia?'' Ken Denarius called her questionably while Max Denarius just sat back relaxed and his lips curved into a half smile. He really underestimated these two kids.

''Uncle, sorry to interrupt. I just have something to show you all''. Calia said and smiled apologetically before removing her phone.

''What do you have to show us?'' Mona Lisa Sun asked.

''Aunt, you will find out soon''. Calia said and turned to look at Karen whose face was pale.

Mr. Kash looked at his daughter and a strange feeling overtook him. He seemed to have realised something when he remembered Ad-Din's words a few minutes ago. His daughter really wasn't as innocent as she portrayed herself out to be but it was too late.

He was a wise man but he allowed his wife and kid to fool him and there was now no way to back out of the situation. Even Karen was anxious to know what kind of evidence they had in their hands.

''There will be a PTA and board of directors meeting next week. I want you to come to the school''.contemporary romance

''Don't think I will be afraid of you because of your mysterious background. My parents are equally powerful people"
