The Love of the Mafia World 2
Searching for happiness

Salwa stood beside Sean while carrying baby Kinan in her cradle. They were wearing all-black clothes with sunglasses perched on their noses. Many people who came even media crews also covered there.

The funeral of Anders, the heir to Arthur's family fortune, was also one of the inmates who escaped from prison, making news of his death a hot topic in print, television and online media. So even though they are not allowed to cover but still media crews who are hungry for news try to steal pictures or opportunities just to get a little information.

Sean stood some distance away from the Arthur family as he still held an incurable wound in his heart even though he basically held no grudge against them at all.

From afar, an elderly woman Sean knew was wearing a wheelchair, aided by a young nurse-dressed woman behind him. Sean could only look from afar without even wanting to get close to him. But in his deepest heart he missed her.

Milly is also seen there, the man gets permission from the hospital to attend the Anders eating ceremony which is one of the members of the Arthur family. Milly was also wearing a wheelchair assisted by a male nurse behind her. Many of the bandages appeared to be wrapped around thickly in some parts of the man's body, though Milly looked healthier than before.

Within a metre of Milly and mistress Arthur, Abust and Catherine and their two children attended the Anders meal. The man still can't seem to blend in with his family, especially his father. Somehow so that Abust and Milly can unite to form a family that loves and respects each other.

"Mas, I want to sit." Salwa pulled the end of Sean's shirt so that her husband would notice her. His legs felt sore as well as his arms because since morning carrying baby Kinan in a standing condition. Sean nodded his head, then circulated his gaze looking for shelter. Finally he found a place that could be used to rest for a while, which was covered with shady trees.

"We rest there. Emm, Kinan let the mas be fat." said Sean then after seeing Salwa looked exhausted.

"So soon, I'll be the one who's fat again."

Salwa gives baby Kinan, then massaged his arm just to reduce a little bit of aching because it takes too long to hold.

"Don't hesitate, you must have been very tired," said Sean softly.

Sean carries Baby Kinan by carrying him with his left arm, while his right arm he uses to embrace Salwa's shoulder invites him to shelter under the tree there.

As they began to step away from the cemetery a faint voice rang out calling out Sean's name. Sean stopped his steps, he just stood stiffly without any intention of turning his head as he realized whose voice was now calling his name.

Salwa raised her face, looking at Sean in confusion.

"What's wrong?" salwa asked later but Sean just silently did not respond. Only then did Salwa understand when the voice sounded clearer and closer.

"Sean!"

Salwa turned her head, she was also as surprised as Sean saw who was calling her husband's name. Behind his veil he directed his eyeballs towards the back where the old voice was trying to shout at Sean from a distance.

"Mas, it's Mrs Arthur." Salwa gulped, she suddenly felt tense seeing mistress Arthur coming at her. It was still clearly recorded in the memory of his brain, so sharp and spicy the old woman's mouth when speaking to him.

Sean slightly squeezed Salwa's shoulders when he felt his wife tense and seemed to tremble. "Don't be afraid, keep your head up, he won't dare insult you or humiliate you. I wouldn't have stayed silent until he did."

Salwa nodded, trusting Sean's words that could encourage her. "Thank you" Salwa said, commenting on her smile.

Using a wheelchair propelled by a female nun, mistress Arthur finally gets to where Sean and Salwa stand.

Their eyes clashed against each other, Sean with his sharp gaze as if unsheathing to immediately attack if his opponent started the fight.

The old woman tried to get up from her wheelchair, with difficulty because it collapsed many times without wanting to be helped by the nurse who took care of her. Hunching down he walked while slightly dragged closer to Sean and Salwa, I don't know what he would do with such conditions.

Sean's sharp gaze turned sad to see mistress Arthur's condition change so miserably. The old woman three years ago was a healthy old woman, even she was able to slap Sean with her old hand. He can curse anyone he wants or not according to his wishes. The old woman used to be said to be the ruler, but at this time who would have thought that she had once been an evil woman who forced her every will upon others.

Madame Arthur shortens her distance with Sean, making Salwa close to her husband's body, even with Sean doing the same thing as the old woman in front of him was like a monster that would make his wife scared. Can not be blamed indeed, Salwa has been traumatized by this one grandmother who if met always berated and insulted him as good as heart. If he could choose it would be better for Salwa to avoid meeting with the old woman than to have to accept the harsh words, swearing and maki insults addressed to her that make her have ear pain.

Unexpectedly before, mistress Arthur suddenly lowered her head then bowed towards Sean. The old woman crouched down and hugged Sean's leg while crying.

Sean raised the old grandmother with the hand he used to hug Salwa because his left hand was still a baby Kinan who was sleeping soundly.

"Wake up, you don't deserve to kneel like that" Sean said coldly. His heartache is too deep for Arthur's family, he feels only as a pawn to collect gold coffers just to nurture Arthur's family fortune. Especially considering how Arthur's family treated his mother unfairly made Sean unable to think about it. Her mother who was the only person who loved her had been wasted by both her husband and her extended family until the end of her life. Sean still can't accept it all.

"Sean forgive grandma, I am guilty of you and your wife. I regret everything. You're right, treasure isn't everything. But a family filled with love and affection that can make us happy. I realized too late when everything was gone. Now in my helpless old days like this, I became the loneliest parent." The old granny wiped her tears on her wrinkled face.

Sean simply kept silent not saying a word, as if the old grandmother's words were just a wind past and had no effect at all on his heart.

Mistress Arthur turned to look at Salwa, the woman he always despised because of her social status that was too low in his eyes. The woman had given Sean a healthy and handsome boy. Sean also seemed to be very happy with his little family. Perhaps Sean's decision to marry the woman was the right decision, he misjudged someone because it was too glare with the property he had so he could not see the privilege of poor women like Salwa.

"Salwa..,"Call mistress Arthur Iirih.

For the first time in Salwa's life, mistress Arthur called her name correctly. Instead of calling him a poor girl, a cheap woman, a pesky carrier woman and other mentions that sound painful in Salwa's ears.

"I.iya," said Salwa lirih. Madame Arthur painstakingly approached her and wanted to rest at her feet which Salwa quickly stopped by holding her shoulders.

"You don't have to do that, ma'am?" Salwa felt bad because this person in front of her was an old man, who should be the young one respecting the old one instead of the other way around.

"I'm sorry grandma Salwa, grandma is too evil to you. You're a good woman you shouldn't get such inappropriate treatment. Seeing you still hang in with Sean and make him happy made me realize that I'm not a good parent. My two children have sacrificed their feelings to obey me and they both have never been happy." Madame Arthur again wiped her tears that had now flowed profusely filled with deep regret.

"Thank you you for sticking with Sean so far, so my grandson didn't suffer the same fate as his father and uncle. You're a great woman, Sean's lucky to have you."

Salwa turned her head towards Sean, apparently the man was quite touched by the words of mistress Arthur. Perhaps with Sean leaving the Arthur family has given many valuable lessons to this one great mistress. Sean nods to give Salwa freedom to say anything, because he believes that his wife is a wise woman despite her age is still very young.

"Madam, I've forgiven you a long time ago. I don't even hold any grudges against you." Salwa said sincerely, it could be seen from the look of her eyes that were so calm.

"Thank you, I don't even deserve your forgiveness after what I did to you. Thank you, your heart is very noble." Lady Arthur was unable to say anything more. Even though Salwa and Sean have forgiven her, they can't be what they used to be. Sean and Salwa already have a life of their own and will not be able to live with him in his old age.

"You don't have to be sad madam, look there!" Salwa pointed in the direction where Abust and Catherine along with Ashton and Axton stood talking to each other.

"You have a very handsome grandson, don't you? he is married and has two children. You are not alone and not lonely. They are your family, they are your most precious treasure. You will be happy in your old age with your children, grandchildren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You're gonna be a happy grandmother."

Madam Arthur nodded, a happy smile appeared at the corner of her lips. It is as if there is a hope of finding happiness at the end of his life. But then there was doubt in him, would Abust be able to accept and forgive him?

Abust is a grandson she did not expect, who she expelled while still in the womb. He did not even give a penny for the cost of his mother's life. Would Abust accept her as a grandmother?

As if understanding what madam Arthur was worried about, Salwa smiled and said slowly trying to give confidence and encouragement to him. "Abust is a good man, you and Milly are just enough to apologize to him and regret everything. Show him that you dream of having a normal and happy family. Because I believe in Abust's heart, he dreams the same. A family that loves him and accepts him as he is."

Madam Arthur nodded, "Thank you, you're right. I'll be there, starting everything from scratch even if it's too late. May God give me a chance to feel the joy of living with my children and grandchildren."

Madame Arthur sat back in her wheelchair, with a more cheerful face alongside the hope of happiness she would feel in her old age.

Sean put his arm around Salwa's shoulder and lowered his head to give a warm kiss at the top of his wife's head. "You're great, baby, I'm proud of you."

Salwa smiled in response to her husband's words. "But I still can't accept you calling Abust a handsome guy. Don't you see beside you this is a much more handsome man. And although there are other men who are more handsome, you should not say they are handsome because only your husband gets such a designation."

Salwa gaped at Sean's silly words, but then she laughed. "Yes my very handsome husband" Salwa said, followed by a second laugh.
