ALESSANDRO'S POV...
"Wake up, Aless..." I heard a wave of melody, that brought a pleased blow of wind in my ears. This tone... This seems so familiar...
"Alessandro, baby?" I heard her again. That enchanting tone just rang in my head. Every time she is calling me, a rush of pleasure just splashes through me.
As if I am hearing an enchanting melody.
"Open your eyes, please?" She sounded so cute and demanding at the same time. I couldn't help but smile.
Slowly, I opened my eyes, following her words. And soon my eyes met such an amazing scenario. Lots of white clouds before me with a soothing breeze.
And in this heavenly place, an angel just caught my eye. In a white dress, her slightly wavy hair flowed in the direction of the wind. She looked like a princess just came out from heaven.
My Victoria...
I stood up and walked toward her. She only smiled at me. One dimple on her left cheek formed, making her so peacefully enchanting.
"You came?" She asked and I nodded. "I came."
She giggled like a child and tilted her head, pouting slightly. "You are so bad, Aless." She scrunched her nose.
A lump started forming in my throat. I don't know why, but her sweet face, and free smile, made me feel so strange. She seems so close to me, yet, so far away.
I nodded my head. "I know... I am the baddest person alive."
She made a disappointed face, just like a little child and I chuckled. "What happened now?"
"Why did you accept my words?" She turned her head to the other side. "I won't talk to you."
Smiling, I shook my head and stood behind her. "Why? Didn't you want me to accept your words? I will listen to your every word, Victoria."
She stayed silent for some time and then turned to face me. Her green eyes shone with strange happiness and my heart just trembled to see her smile.
Why does it feel so different?
Still, I nodded. "Yes, baby. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Aless, you know, I always believed that you will accept my every wish. That's why, I have saved our child to live in this world. He will be by your side, always. He..." She tried to touch my hand, but I moved away, staring at her in disbelief.
"No! You didn't do it! You can't do this! Victoria, Listen to me..." I tried to step forward but she took a step back.
Her clear green eyes suddenly filled with water. She shook her head. "No baby, don't say like that. Our journey started only because of a child and I want it to end with the child. This time, I didn't lie, Aless. This time, I can give you the child."
"No, Victoria! I don't want any child! I only want you! Please! Please, don't do this! Take your words back! Please! We... If you want we will make another one! If not! We will adopt one! But, don't do this to me, please!" I moved toward her, but she only smiled.
A droplet of tears just rolled down from her eyes. The dimple on her left cheek is visible.
"It's too late now, Aless. I have taken my decision. I love you both so much..." She suddenly lifted her one foot.
"Victoria... No." I felt a little alarmed and too strange at her behaviour. And before I realised her motive, she leaned back and suddenly, let her body go in the wind!
"NO!" I shouted and ran toward her. I hold her hand but... But, just like a shadow, Her hand vanished from mine and she started falling, still with a smile on her face...
"VICTORIA!"
Immediately a flash of bright light appeared before my eyes and a sharp pain I felt in my eyes. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes and things started getting clear in my vision.
Soon, I was welcomed by all white...
"Alessandro? Are you awake?" I heard Grandma's soft tone.
Blinking a few times, I tried to look around to see Grandma staring at me with worried eyes. And then slowly, my eyes roamed around to see Mr and Mrs Edwards, Antonio around me.
What is happening? Why is everyone staring at me in that way? I looked around again in confusion.
Something want to flash in my head but I couldn't process it. It felt like, something is missing, as if a part of me.
"Alessandro, can you hear us?" Mr Edwards spoke this time and I blankly watched him.
