Chapter 12
Everyone starts the celebrations of wedding. The bride and groom are ready. Everyone enjoying the ceremony with music.
This function is called 'haldi', which is celebrated by applying turmeric on the bride and the groom.
The Williams and Wilsons get ready for function and join them.
Renée, Bella, Rose, Janet wear traditional clothes 'Saree'.
Raféal, Edward, Jack, Noah wear traditional clothes 'Kurta'.
Everyone is enjoying the ceremony and dancing. Suddenly, Renée's bangles get stuck with Raféal's kurta's sleeve. She gets close to Raféal and whispers...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Someone is looking so handsome today. (Whispers)
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Thank you for the compliment, doctor. (Whispers)
But now, dance with me.
They dance and have dinner. Then at night, the islanders send them to their room to take rest.
■...In Edward & Bella's Room...■
Abella William
This is going to be the worst night of my life.
Edward Wilson
So, do you think I'm enjoying it?
Abella William
Look, I know hate me and hate all the Williams but right now, we are stuck. We are lucky enough that we can have such a safe shelter here. So, be thankful and sleep quietly.
Edward Wilson
You find it safe? I mean, you feel that it's safe with me?
Abella William
What are you trying to say? Are you saying that you are unsafe? I don't care. I'm not scared of you. I can protect myself.
Edward Wilson
Well, I don't even have any intention to do anything with you.
Abella William
Okay, now you sleep on the floor and I'll sleep on the bed.
Edward Wilson
Why can't I sleep on the bed?
Abella William
Are you out of your mind? I won't share the bed with you.
Edward Wilson
Okay, so you will sleep on the bed because you are a princess. This is why you are...
Abella William
That's enough. Your every conversation stuck on the royal family. You are being too much now.
Edward Wilson
Because you guys are pathetic. After the way your family treated my mom, I should not even talk to you.
Abella William
Well, I know that my family did wrong to your mother. And I'm sorry for that. But you have to understand that nothing of those things was my fault or any of my siblings' fault.
They both remain silent for a minute without looking at each other. She grabs a pillow and a blanket from the bed and lies down on the floor.
Abella William
You can sleep on the bed.
Edward Wilson
Listen, I...
Abella William
I'm sleepy. So shut up.
The feeling of guilt rises in Edward's heart and he can't even say another word. He lies on the floor and sleeps.
■...In Raféal & Renée's Room...■
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It was a tiring day. I'm so tired.
Saying this, Renée falls on the bed because of tiredness. Raféal starts taking off his shoes.
Suddenly, she sits on the bed and forwards her one leg and say...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Mr.Husband, can you take off my shoes?
Renée thought Raféal would just laugh and take it as a joke but in reality, Raféal walks to Renée and kneels in front of her.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No, no, no. (Giggles) I was just kidding. You don't have to do this.
Raféal grabs her leg and starts taking off her shoes.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It will be my pleasure to help my... wife.
Raféal takes out an anklet from his pocket and puts it on her ankle.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I saw that men are buying this jewellery for their wife. So, I bought one for you. I hope you like it.
Renée's heart starts beating faster. She stands up from the bed and stands in front of the mirror. She starts taking off her earrings.
Raféal stands behind Renée and slowly puts his hand on her waist.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What happened, darling?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I wore saree for the first time but you didn't even praise me.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'll praise you after taking off the saree.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are looking magnificently beautiful tonight. I couldn't even take my eyes off you even for a second. I wanted to kiss you the moment I saw you. I was holding myself for so long.
Tonight, let me kiss you until I can't stop myself.
Raféal suddenly picks Renée up and puts her a table. He holds her saree and takes permission to take it off.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Can I?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
(Nods as yes.)
Raféal kisses her like it's the last time.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Doctor, why are you so beautiful tonight? I wanna kiss every part of your body.
He holds her and pulls her closer.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I also wanted to kiss you, but my mood got spoiled when those girls were checking you out.
He starts touching her body.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
(Smile) So, my wife is jealous, huh?
They both depend on the kiss. They both might be out of their mind, but tonight, they just want to be with each other. But suddenly...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm not your real wife.
Raféal breaks the kiss and starts rubbing her lips.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Then let me make you my wife, tonight, in this room, on this table.
He pushes her down on the table and flips her. He kisses on her back.
He again flips her and places a kiss on her belly and slowly sucks her skin.
He faces her with those eyes that are full of emotions: Affection, Love, Care, Lust and many more.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I want you.
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. Raféal gets irritated and Renée starts laughing.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
FK, damn it.
When Raféal goes to open the door, Renée runs to the washroom. The islanders give Raféal some blankets. He thanks them and closes the door.
Raféal changes his clothes and Renée also comes out changing her clothes. When she comes out she sees Raféal is lying on the bed. She silently lies besides him.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I might have completely lost my mind. Because your irresistible beauty made me crazy.
I might have made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry. But it was for the first time I got so close to a woman, and that is also you.
You are the only woman I have in my life. But you have all the rights to push me if you don't like it.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Did I say that I didn't like it or it seemed like that? I also felt like you felt.
Raféal holds Renée tightly in his arms.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I've always had good control over my feelings and desires. But it becomes hard for me when it comes to you.
I... I might sound like old school but I want to wait until my wedding night. I want to give myself to my wife.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I will wait for you.
Neither he said 'marry me' nor she said 'I'll marry you'. But they both understand that deep down in their hearts, they both want each other for the rest of their lives.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Goodnight, doctor.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Goodnight, Raféal.
Raféal smiles and Renée holds him back. They both sleep soundly while holding each other.
Raféal wakes up and sees that Renée is still in his arms. He smiles and gives a kiss on her forehead. Renée starts to wake up.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Good morning, my wife.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What has gotten you early in the morning?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm just happy. After so long, I have slept so peacefully. Waking up like this, having you in my arms, feels like a dream.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Then let's sleep more. I'm still sleepy.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It's already 9. Wake up my sleepy head.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
5 minutes more.
Everyone is busy with preparations. Today is the wedding day.
After a while, everyone gathers in one place where the bride and groom are taking pheras. People are witnessing the reunion of two persons and congregating by throwing flower on them.
Women are standing on one side and men are standing on another. Renée and Rose are standing together and throwing flowers.
Roselie William
It's so pretty, right? Everything is so colourful.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
You are right. Weddings are fun.
Roselie William
Soon, we are going to have a big wedding celebration in the palace.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Whose marriage?
Roselie William
Brother Raféal and Elina's.
Renée gets stunned for a second but she controls herself by thinking that she might have heard wrong.
Roselie William
I'm sure it's gonna be huge, after all it's brother Raféal's wedding.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What are you trying to say, Rose? Raféal never mentioned his marriage.
Roselie William
It's an unofficial thing in our family. Everyone knows that grandma likes Elina for being brother Raféal's wife.
Renée's world stops for a second and her mind goes blank. She just starts running to an empty corner.
She starts having flashbacks of the moments they spent together. She starts feeling like it's all a lie. Her tears start falling off her eyes. But suddenly Raféal hugs her from behind and kisses the back of her head.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What are you doing here alone, darling?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Leave me.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
No, I won't. After last night, I missed you so much.
Raféal starts kissing on her shoulder and on the back.
Suddenly, Renée pushes Raféal hardly and screams in anger.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I said leave me. Can't you hear me?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What happened, darling?
He tries to touch her face but she jerks off his hand.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Don't come close to me.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay, okay. Calm down. If I did something wrong, then tell me.
What made you so angry?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Just go to hell.
Saying this, Renée leaves from there. Raféal just stands there dumbfounded.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What the hell did just happen?
Raféal decides to give some time to Renée. They both don't see or talk to each other until the evening.
The tourists and The Williams and Wilsons start a bonfire and sings. Then they start playing truth and dare.
Renée and Raféal are sitting opposite sides of each other. Raféal is constantly looking at her but she is not looking at him even for once.
They spin the bottle and it stops in front of Raféal and Raféal chooses truth.
Islanders
Tell us something secret about your fake wife.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
There is no secret in doctor. She is an open book. She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, brave, sharp, skilled, honest and I might take the whole night but her qualities won't end.
But there is a surprising side of her as well, she is very, very competitive. She hates to lose. And she is the best in everything. There is no one like her nor ever will be.
Raféal looks at Renée with the hope that she might look at him. But she didn't.
Then Jack spins the bottle and it stops in front of a tourist and he chooses truth.
Jackson William
Have you ever had multiple girlfriends at one time?
Islanders
They were not girlfriends, it was just a fling. But there were 3 girls at once.
They again spin the bottle and it again stops in front of Raféal but this time, he takes dare.
Islanders
You have to kiss any girl from our tourist group and if you don't you have to take alcohol shots.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I don't think I can...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Go ahead, Raféal. You can't give up so easily.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
So, are you telling me to kiss any girl from here?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why would you miss the golden chance?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Ok, then. I will do it. White dress lady, I would like to kiss you.
Everyone starts hyping for them.
Rose starts recording the scene.
The tourist girl kneels in front of Raféal. Raféal holds her face. Everyone is looking at them. And suddenly, Renée leaves from there.
Raféal immediately backs off. He takes an alcohol shot and runs after Renée.
Renée comes on the sea shore and starts crying loudly while kneeling on the sand. Raféal sees her crying, he immediately hugs her tightly.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What happened, doctor? Just tell me once, I'll fix everything.
If I did something wrong, then I'm sorry, I'm really very sorry. Please don't cry.
Is it about the kiss? I'm sorry, I was just...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Kiss any girl you want. Just go.
Raféal holds her tightly.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Then I choose you, doctor.
It's a kiss to prove her how much she means to him. Maybe everything, everything for Raféal is now Renée.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I didn't kiss that lady. The moment you left, I left as well. I just did that because I was angry. Angry because you showed like you don't care. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
There were many girls who tried to come close to me. But I never let anyone touch me like you did or touched anyone like I touched you. Because I never felt this way with anyone as I feel with you.
Raféal touches her lips and caresses them softly with his fingers.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I've seen many pretty lips. But the only lips I wanted to kiss are yours, the prettiest one. The only woman who knows me from inside out is you and only you.
When I saw you crying, I just wanted to take all of your pain. Your tears pierced my heart. It took me a while but now I have realized that...
I LOVE YOU, DOCTOR.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
How effortlessly you lie! Raféal. How long are you gonna pretend with me? Just stop lying already.
Raféal's smile disappears.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
What lie? (Confused)
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
That you are going to marry Elina. How long are you going to hide this?
Raféal gets completely shocked.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
There must be some misunderstanding. It's just grandma's...
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
When you already have a wife to be, then why did you touch me, why did you come close to me, why are you saying that you love?
Why are you keep saying that I'm the first woman in your life? You must have had hundreds of women before me. Just tell me the truth, you FKing BST.
Raféal grips Renée's mouth harshly.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Mind your tongue, doctor. If you weren't the girl I love, I might have killed you right now. I never gave anyone permission to question my character.
I told you, trust is more important than love for me. But I guess you never had any positive feelings for me.
Raféal leaves from there in anger.
Renée comes out to the bonfire area but Raféal is not there. Bella comes to Renée and say...
Abella William
What happened to you? Your eyes are swollen. Did Raféal do something to you?
Renée couldn't hold anymore and says everything to Bella about Raféal and Elina's marriage.
Abella William
What have you done, you stupid girl?
How could you believe everything that idiot Rose said to you? She is a kid, she doesn't know the hidden truth of our family.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
So, aren't they going to marry?
Abella William
Look, when your mom left the she was engaged to Elina's father. Grandpa and Elina's grandfather were good friends. So, out of humiliation, grandma promised to marry her oldest grandson to his oldest granddaughter.
Raféal and Elina were not even born when this happened. It's not like Raféal doesn't know about it. But he doesn't care about it. He knows how to make decisions for his own life.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
O my God, I said so harsh things to him. I'm such an idiot. He will never forgive me.
Abella William
He will. He loves you, Renée. Talk to him calmly. He can't live without you.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Did he tell you that he loves me?
Abella William
Isn't it clear? His eyes shine when he sees you. He smiles for you.
When you left the palace, for a whole week, he roamed around like a lifeless body. He used to sleep in your room. His whole existence changed after you came into his life.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I should go to him.
Renée leaves but Bella hears some noise and she goes there.
Edward is standing in a crowd and everyone is screaming at him while gripping his collar.
Abella William
What is happening here?
Tourists
Your husband tried to touch our friend.
Abella William
What rubbish? What are they saying, Edward?
Edward Wilson
I didn't do anything. When Raféal was doing the dare. This red dress lady tried to kiss me as well. I was shocked and I pushed her on the ground. After that she cried and started telling everyone that...
Please trust me.
Edward holds Bella's hand.
Abella William
I do trust you.
Do you have any proof that Edward tried to harass you?
Tourists
Why would she lie?
Abella William
I said, do you have any proof to prove your allegation?
He belongs from a respectable family. He can never do this.
Abella William
Wait a second, you said when Raféal was doing the dare, right?
Rose, give me your phone.
Rose recorded the whole incident. As Edward was sitting next to Raféal. He and that red dress lady both were captured in the video as well.
What they are seeing in the video is exactly what Edward said. Everyone realises that Edward wasn't lying.
Tourists
We are sorry. She must be drunk. We are really sorry.
Bella stands in front of the red dress lady. And says in a warning tone...
Abella William
Just because a man rejects you, doesn't mean that you can assassinate his character. A man's character is as important as a woman's. Got it?
■...In Raféal & Renée's Room...■
Raféal comes in the room and starts breaking things. He gets really furious about what just happened.
He gathered all his courage to confess his love to Renée. But when he did, she found that all a lie. His heart broke into pieces. His love... his first love and confession went so terrible that he doesn't know what to do.
He wants to suppress his anger because he knows if he gets into another argument with Renée, this time he might hurt her. So he just lies on the floor and closes his eyes.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
[I love you. Only you and you think that I had relationships with other women. I never thought that you would think like that about me. I have been your since the moment I saw you, I never even looked at anyone like I look at you but you still thought that I will marry Elina.
Oh God, why, why is this happening with me? Please don't take her from me. I love her a lot.]
Suddenly, Renée enters in the room, she finds out that Raféal is sleeping on the floor. Renée kneels in front of him but his eyes are closed.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal. Raféal, are you sleeping? Please go on the bed. You will catch a cold.
Listen, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won't say things like that. I'm really... very sorry.
Raféal doesn't say anything or opens his eyes. He just rolls on the other side. Renée is now facing Raféal's back.
She understands that Raféal is awake but he doesn't want to talk, so she puts a blanket on him and lies on the bed quietly.
Renée can't fall asleep but Raféal doesn't even move from his place. She assumes that Raféal is sleeping. She just gets down from the bed and lies beside him on the floor.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm sorry.
