Chapter 249: North Star
Liam and Lana said their goodbyes to Gale and Craig and drove back to home. Lana was still quiet during their travel back home and refused to respond to any of Liam's coaxing. Liam tried to strike conversations with her but seeing that she was not responding at all, his brain started thinking about how he should please his wife so she would no longer remain angry with him.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind and instead of driving back home, Liam drove the car towards an open park he had heard about. The place had a really magnificent view of the night. There were tall trees and garden mazes artistically cut and moulded into different shapes of flowers with colourful lightings hanging on them. The main attraction of that park was the gondola ride that was truly romantic and attracted most of the couples for spending some loving time with each other.
Lana was still quiet and though her interest piqued when she saw him changing the route but she couldn't ask him as she was pretending to be angry with him. She saw the road and had some idea where they were heading to and her heart leapt in joy when she thought about that beautiful place her friends had been boasting of in front of her.
She remembered Keira had been to that park once with her husband and praised that ambience and beauty of the park and said that the romantic Gondola ride was the most lovely thing there.
'Is Liam going to take me there for a Gondola ride? It seems I must often get angry with my husband if he can take me out on such rides to pacify me!'
Liam stopped the car in the parking of the 'Fun-Park Club' and opened his seat belt. He turned towards Lana and said, "Love, please forgive this husband of yours for his mistake. I know I was wrong.
I promise… I will never repeat this thing again. But please think about it from my point of view… How could I let my most precious person go anywhere without any protection? So I agreed with Luo when she convinced me to protect you. Please now stop being angry and forgive me."
Lana looked at his gloomy face and controlled herself from laughing out loudly at him. She snorted at him and opened her seat belt and got out of the car. Liam also hurriedly got down and locked the car before following her. Liam asked her to wait and bought the entry tickets and they both entered inside the park.
There were a few fun activities in the park and Liam held Lana's hand to take her towards the Gondola ride. Lana snatched away her hand from his grip and walked faster than him to reach the place to board the Gondola first.
They both then sat down in an empty Gondola and asked the gondolier to row into the centre of the lake. There was a huge lake where these Gondolas could ferry for the entire night if someone wanted to enjoy with their partner.
Liam has booked the Gondola ride for a few hours and he wanted to spend some romantic time with Lana in the waters and have her in his arms while they watch the scenery in the lake and enjoy the night sky.
When the gondola started to row Liam sat down close to Lana and kept his head on her shoulder and in his soft and hoarse voice he said, "Please love, let's just forget all that and enjoy a romantic evening in the beautiful waters. Don't stay angry with me… please..."
Lana smiled at his cuteness and then she took his face in her hands and kissed him gently on his lips. Liam felt as if he just won a big battle in the highest court.
He locked her in his arms and deepened the kiss. He didn't leave her until she was out of breath. When they parted, they looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds and both laughed simultaneously…
Liam was very happy to see that Lana was no longer angry with him. They both relaxed and almost laid down on the comfortable seats of the gondola.
Lana kept her head on his chest and softly said, "Liam, I know you love me and care a lot about me, but the fact is that I am not in a habit of being cared by anyone in such a possessive way. I was probably not angry with you, instead, I'm just adjusting with this big change in my life, something that is yet not easy for me even now."
Liam circled his hand on her waist and brought her a little more closer to himself. He kissed her on her forehead and then turned and looked towards the sky. He pointed his finger towards the sky and said, "Do you see that star? That's the North Star, it always follows you in the same direction and same place. Whenever you are afraid that you are lost, look for this star and you can find the right direction."
Lana confusedly stared at him trying to decipher what he meant.
Liam then tilted his head towards her. He gazed deeply into her eyes and softly in his hoarse voice said, "Lana, I am that star in your life. I will always follow you, will never leave you alone and whenever you are afraid that you have lost your way just turn around and I will be there…
right in front of you to help you for everything and support you unconditionally. You just have to remember to turn around and look for me once."
Lana was stunned hearing his heartwarming words and her eyes turned misty. She knew Liam loved her deeply and was a little possessive for her too, but that night she realised that he could actually even break his own ethics to look after her and for her security.
She circled her one arm on his chest and another on his neck and they both again started kissing passionately. They reluctantly parted after a long time and their eyes were dripping with their burning desires that were not going to be doused for the next few hours.
The bright moonlight from the full moon was trying to hide the two beautiful bodies entwined with each other, sometimes kissing and sometimes laughing with joy, gazing at stars and silently promising their eternal love to each other.
