The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
LOVE ME OR KILLME Part 99. Ending 1
"Master? Why didn't Nathan say anything? When did you guys plan this..." Now that I'm really upset, it's really a surprise.
"Nathan called your father and talked about it a week ago, when you were on your way here and your father gladly agreed. Not that this is so good, your lover seems to be a very responsible person in his choice. Mom's glad you got such a nice guy." Mom hugged me now. "Good darling... Mom's happy for you."
Now it's my turn to be moved. I didn't expect Nathan to set this up so soon, until they were ready to go on a vacation here.
"Well Mother's daughter is beautiful, ready to go to her engagement." Mom saw me in her makeup mirror.
"Mom, thank you for preparing this."
"This is all you can do to pay for the time you've missed. It's not enough but Mom will try to do what's best for you." I saw her with haru as she stood behind me and looked at me from the glass of the dresser. We were separated for so long, how to change the time we missed. It may be difficult but I will also try to do it.
"Mom you know it's okay for you and Dad to stay in Italy together, you can visit us later, you and Dad don't need to feel guilty, we'll visit you here, we'll visit you here, and you can go visit lami stay at our house the road to the US, here the air is very good, in NY just full of pollution. This is your dream home, you should be here with Dad."
"Mom and Dad don't feel burdened. We'll stay in NY helping you prepare for the wedding and come back here later. We don't have a great wedding, we want you to have the wedding you want. Mom will help you... " She smiled at me and hugged me from behind. It feels good to be a princess who is loved and pampered again.
"Let's get out, everybody's coming. They've been waiting."
"So the only one who doesn't know this is me." I laugh.
"Now you know..."
Everyone was gathered in the family room. They're waiting for me to come down.
"He already knows..." Mom told Dad.
"My daughter you're so pretty." My father hugged me when I came.
"It turns out you're hiding all this from me." I smiled at him.
"Nathan called Dad and said he wanted to surprise you. Congratulations baby, you'll be a beautiful bride soon."
"If there wasn't a Dad, I wouldn't be here. Thanks for everything..." This hug is a daughter's hug for her father. Without presence I am not the present me, although he sometimes allows me to walk more alone to make me independent. But still he's watching me.
"Dear katya, happy dear. After this we'll have a wedding to celebrate..." My aunt congratulated me, hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. I was lucky to be given an Aunt who was so considerate of me.
"Thank you dear Aunt." I hugged him tightly. Followed by Aunt's husband and two cousins who congratulated me.
Everyone congratulated me on that happy day.
And we went to Florence, Garcia's family came with his whole family, his Father and Mother, and his two brothers' families to celebrate the first meeting of these two families.
They rented a private room at a hotel restaurant where they stayed and did a pretty decorating job for the occasion.
I saw Nathan waiting for us in the lobby with one of the women I knew was his sister.
"You look beautiful Carina." She whispered to me, made me look at her hand and feel flattered by her silent praise.
"Why don't you say anything about this."
"It's a surprise, it shouldn't be told. You won't sleep thinking about it." He's laughing a little. Embracing me warm, making me the happiest p girl tonight.
"This is my father ...Ferdinand Garcia." He introduced us all to his family his father, and his mother, everyone who was present at the party. While I introduced Father Mother and my Aunt's family.
We introduced each other to our families, Mothers and Aunts talked to each other, Fathers and Uncles got acquainted, the younger ones gathered at the other side of the table. The two families will have a new relationship now Garcia and Mironov.
"We're still a big family in Russia and Poland, I'm a second-generation immigrant from Eastern Russia while his mother's extended family is in Moscow."
"We're originally Spanish but it's probably been the fourth generation, our family spread across the USA and Mexico. My wife is the same as me, she has Spanish blood." Fathers introduced their families. We are all a family of immigrants from Europe on US soil. And now instead gather in Italy for my engagement.
I met Nathan's sister who was married, she came with her 5 and 7 year old sons. His younger brother, 31, is unmarried.
"So you guys met where you really are..." His sister asked, No one knows Nathan's job but me. How we met is a bit difficult to explain.
"How can the head of the FBI unit be your temporary assistant when I meet him in Chicago." I'm waiting for Nathan to explain it, and it'll be a story we'll tell everyone later.
"Actually I helped him investigate a case. He was my special assistant for a while, and worked at Garcia Int as well..."
"So Kate's sort of in disguise..."
"It's like it's about what happened."
"With your knowledge or are you under investigation for committing an offence?"
"Of course, to my knowledge, if I had committed a violation of the law I wouldn't have married her now, I'd have my dear brother imprisoned where your logic is...." Everyone is laughing now. Maybe that's what we'll tell everyone about how we met later.
Except for the two of us no one knew that our Mironov family were CIA agents, and their son was involved in this CIA operation.
Maybe that's what he told Louis and the people who didn't know it around us. We spent the dinner getting to know each other, telling stories. Much is told... Tomorrow they'll visit Mom's house, see Mom's wineyard. And we can tell you a lot more later.
"Alright, now it's the event that's causing us all to gather here. Dear Nathan and Kate, come here..." Our table has been cleaned by the waiter. Nathan's mother began to speak... I'm now taking Father and Mother into their midst, Nathan is in the middle of his parents. "Your turn is talking..."
"All thanks for being here, Kate and I have decided we were together before and Mama told me that I should propose properly, Thanks Mom, if there wasn't you, we wouldn't be here. Thanks Dad for bringing your son here, ..." His mother and father smiled at their son.
"This is our first child, we're glad he finally found his life companion. From now on we are family. And Kate is also our daughter." His dad pats Nathan's new.
"And Uncle Aunty thank you for bringing Kate here,... I Nathan asked for it from you as my life companion, I promise I will love him all my life and make him as happy as you guys make him." Mom and Dad smiled at Nathan's promise. He's a kid who values parents. Being able to hear her asking me so well from Mom and Dad was a privilege.
"Sister, are you sure you picked the right ring..." Her sister now made the atmosphere more crowded. Everyone is laughing now. Of course it's a joke, but Nathan seems tense. He waited for everyone to stop laughing and take a step forward on me. I was pounding now looking into his eyes waiting for him to say those words in front of everyone, while the others were also waiting for Nathan to speak.
One second, two seconds, I didn't expect it to be so thrilling. He suddenly knelt in front of me. He was willing to do it the old way. I was surprised that he did it to ask me...
"I'm Nathan Garcia asking you to be my wife Kate Heatherton, will you marry me..." A solitaire ring of engagement marks was now in front of my eyes, mesmerizing me for its luster. For a moment I couldn't talk. Everyone was waiting for my answer now, I looked at Mother and Aunt who were now smiling broadly at me while nodding to ask me to finish her sentence.
"Yes, of course you will..." And everyone is cheering happily now. Making Nathan kneeling smile with relief and able to stand up. He put the ring on my finger and made a kiss on my forehead.
"It seems that tomorrow we have to get rid of the date of Mrs Mironov, these children we have to take care of the wedding immediately, they are too busy to take care of the details we only help take care of it... It'll be fun..."
"You're right, I can't wait..."
Everyone was relieved, we had already passed it, I saw the ring that was now attached to my finger. L like it. It looks good on my ring finger.
"You like it?" Nathan saw me staring at the engagement ring he gave me.
"of course. It's very nice." She looked me in the eye, and I couldn't wait to give her a kiss, but not in front of our parents, it would be a shame to be such an impatient girl.
" I'm glad you like it." He looks relieved now. I didn't expect him to be tense as well when it was obvious that I had accepted his proposal before.
"Why was your face so tense?" He looked at me who wanted to know what his thoughts were.
"I failed to get married when I thought everything was okay. But in one night it suddenly changed, I was afraid it would happen again somehow."
"It turns out so." I clasped his hand it turned out that the failed experience of marriage was quite imprint for him. "But look at our parents, they they're very happy tonight, and thanks for this moment, it's very sweet."
"Mother arranged this for us, we need to thank them, she also gave me the idea I should propose you to Italy..."
That night felt like a dream. Everything passes beautifully. Everything will now go smoothly, the next day they have lunch at Mom's house. Mom and Aunt changed to host them. And guess they can't wait to set our wedding date.
"We're doing this summer, I think there's enough time to get everything ready? How's Madam."
"Sure, enough time, you two want to say something?" Nathan and I only saw two mothers holding calendars in their hands. "You have a date of your choice or something..."
"Mom chose us." Nathan answered immediately while I also said Nathan's words.
"You want us to choose?"
"Yes, we'll adjust our busy schedule to your date selection, don't get too close Mom, June sounds good. We don't have a time too close."
"Again June would be good... We have time to invite all the family, Nathan our first child and your only daughter I think we should take a little... Make this unforgettable."
"In Russia weddings are always celebrated with great fanfare, I want to make a great wedding for her." Mom chiming.
"I thought of a rather fair decoration full of golden lights dominated by white and peach ..." Nathan's mother is talking now. As everyone gathered in the living room with lots of cakes and food, some of them were Russian food specially prepared by Mom and Aunt.
"Why do we think the same Madam...." They both laughed together. Nathan and I laughed at each other at our mother's enthusiasm.
"You two dear ladies, please decide on the date first, why do you think of the doctrines..." Nathan's father rebuked his wife.
"Women always like to talk about details so much that they forget the real purpose for which they gathered today..." My father chimed.
Finally it was decided the last week of June would be our wedding date.
We're getting married soon. Immediately...
\=\=\=\=\=
Wedding preparations go by so quickly. June was quickly approaching, a busy summer with all our preparations and all the work we were doing.
But most of Mom and Dad who helped us do it with our professional wedding organizers, they know how to steer two women who are sometimes too excited to sometimes deviate from that path. I have to thank them, they know how to do this and stay on track.
"You know they're making this party no joke. See all the excitement of this event, the venue design and this food list. Our parents are really having fun." I laughed when the final rundown was emailed by our event organizers.
"Well this is a once in a lifetime moment, we celebrate it, make our parents happy, especially my mother, she has no chance to feel the marriage of her dreams because it is not approved by her family. I think this makes him very happy, every time he talks about the details of his face sparkling happy, I like to see him so excited..." Nathan saw me, actually I was excited too, probably infected by my mother's spirit.
"You're on leave tomorrow, not ..."
"Yes, luckily yesterday I finished my case report, I was able to leave the office without a burden."
"In a few days we'll get married, how you feel."
"Hmm.either, pleased. But a little scared, scared as people say our feelings will change. But our parents were together until the end with all sorts of problems. I want to be like that. Hopefully we can do both, together until the end,..." Now he hugs me.
"We will be able to, we have a great example, there will be children who will continue our family legacy as well. We'll still feel like family..."
"Hmm.if later we fight, maybe we need to remember this promise again. How hard it is for our parents to stay together, there is no turning or retreat in front."
"There's no turning or retreat." He asked for a pinky promise I laughed a little.
"Promise..." I hooked my pinky.
"Promise." And he closed it by putting our thumbs together. It was so sweet, like a little promise made in childhood and will continue to be remembered for the rest of your life.
