It came like a surprise to me on hearing that Ella was going to Paris. It's not like I ever doubted Katherine and her ideas, but I wasn't expecting her idea to work this time. But the women are always right, I had spent my happy years just because I believed in it. Katherine had that look which I knew meant that 'I told you so'.
Her idea was perfect, and now it was in full flow, nagging Ella every day about her lifestyle was one of the best decision we had taken to get her out of her safe zone. She was finally ready to leave the nest, and explore the world through her eyes, and not through books or novels.
Ella had been an introvert while Kate had been an extrovert, someone did say correctly that twins are opposites in all measures. They didn't look alike, neither did they behave. But both my girls were daddy's princesses. They were the most precious things of my life, and anyone who made them cry would have to deal with me first.
I yet remember the day I had held them both in my arms, Katherine had left nails marks all over my hand from her labour pain. I knew then that miracles happen, Katherine and I were expecting a baby but this came as a surprise, even her ultrasound reports informed about only one baby. But there they both were little angels in my arms. Sometimes these surprises are the things that can make a person the happiest man on earth. I had fallen in love again at that moment. I knew then, that nothing wrong or harm would ever come there way without crossing me.
Katherine has no idea, she thinks they we were bounded by the god as we found the true definition of love even after year's of marriage, little does she know that it was love at first sight.
Katherine had been the most popular girl in the college, I was just a nobody but I had admired her and loved her ever since I had played my eyes on her. She is a demanding and dominating wife but I am ready to fulfil all her demands and give in to everything she wishes. Cause just her presence in my life has made it worth living. I wake up each day seeing her face beside me, and I feel the same lucky feeling I had the day I saw her.
My friends yet wonder how a nobody ended with everyone's college dream girl, I tell them it's all about good luck. But deep down I know it wasn't good luck, I knew Katherine was an obedient child and didn't believe in love at first sight.
According to her love at first, the sight didn't happen, love was all about growing and building up together. She and I fell in love and our marriage was the ideal kind of marriage. She loved for who I am, she never left my side even when things got rough.
So to be her everything I did whatever it took became a nerd at college, topped in my class and got the job at the most renowned company of that time and started my business at 28 years old and now owns the La Victorian company of products. I wanted the best to get the best. She was there through all this, building me into the man I am now.
But this wasn't enough to get her to marry me, I did the most embarrassing thing of my life. She loved her dad more than me, and I knew my way to her went through him. So I proposed her dad bending on my knees with a ring in hand. Silly but yet that has made me the happiest person till date. She yet tells me stories about how her dad reacted to it and made fun of me.
Richard was never a hard kid, easy to handle. He did everything he was told was good in sports and a true businessman had moved to London recently with his love and child. I remember giving him the advice to follow the one women who would make him happy and no words could explain the reason.
Kate and Ella were quite a task when they were growing up. Kate was a trouble maker, I knew whenever I got any call that it had to be for her. Ella was an obedient child like her brother, but I knew her witty side. Her words play was hard to crack, like her mother's they don't have the word "NO" in their dictionary. The twins due to their different behaviour were hard to handle but both have become an excellent lady and I felt proud of them.
All my life I had just believed in one thing, that
"Hold onto the one women who would get you the happiness beyond explanation and guide you to a better life. Playing a part in building your empire. "
I had found my women in Katherine and my daughter had become the lady I knew was perfect to me. I had never felt scared in my life until I almost say Ella losing her life in front of me slowly and slowly when things were going out of hand and I was powerless. She was there crying for her breaths, with me only watching her from far away. That the only time I felt her drift far away from my reach.
Nothing I could do would bring my baby to feel the pain go away. She had come out as a warrior but, and that's the day I remembered the delicate moment of holding the twins. I knew they would break off I let them go, but that would not let me to stop them from exploring the unknown. I loved them hard but I couldn't let my love be a bondage to their dreams. The butterflies have to fly away, to let the world know about their beauty.
