Chapter 13
■...In Edward & Bella's Room...■
Edward and Bella both come back to their room after the argument.
Edward Wilson
Thank you so much, Bella. I really am.
Abella William
When you were not wrong, then why were you quiet like that?
Edward Wilson
I told them everything but they didn't believe me. You know, in this kind of topic, people tend to believe women more.
But how were you so confident that I didn't do it?
Abella William
Super easy. Your mother is Auny Kate, that means your upbringing must be good and I've seen Renée. Her brother can't be bad in nature and you are handsome enough to pull any girl you want.
Edward Wilson
(Smiles) I behaved with you so rudely but you helped me when nobody was there for me. I'm really sorry for that.
Abella William
You don't need to be sorry. You were not completely wrong. We, Williams, failed not once but twice. First with aunt Kate and now with Renée. Both of them were humiliated in front of me and I couldn't do anything. I should be sorry for that.
Edward Wilson
It's okay, and thanks again.
Abella William
Okay, it's quite late now. Let's sleep now.
Edward Wilson
Bella, you can sleep on the bed tonight.
Abella William
I was going to do that. Last night, you slept on the bed. So, tonight is my turn. Don't think that I'm too kind. Sleep on the floor.
Edward Wilson
(Smile) Okay, princess.
Bella sleeps on the floor and Edward lies on the floor but he can't fall asleep. He recalls everything that happened tonight. He realizes that Bella is not like her grandma, she is different, honest and better.
He gradually touches her hand but when he realizes what he was doing, he has a hold on himself and closes his eyes.
Edward Wilson
[I must be out of my mind, Sleep, Edward.]
Raféal, Renée, Edward, Bella, Noah, Janet, Rose and Jack are walking by the sea shore.
Raféal and Renée are still not talking to each other, Renée tried to approach but Raféal ignored her every time. Edward and Bella are now being normal with each other, without any blame game. Janet and Noah are now more than friends. But Jack and Rose never ending fighting are on.
Suddenly, a helicopter lands in front of them. It's a royal helicopter from Ivanná.
The islanders and tourists gather around the helicopter. The Williams and Wilsons are returning. Everyone sees them off.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You guys are really welcoming and helpful. When I go back, I'll make sure that Marmara Island gets every development it deserves. Electricity, network and transport facilities. Thanks again.
And after an hour, a helicopter will come to take the tourists back.
The tourists thank Raféal and translate Raféal's words to the islanders.
Islanders
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद और कृपया पुनः आइए।
{Thank you so much and please come again.}
The Williams and Wilsons, Janet, Noah & the previous pilot get on the helicopter and leave for Venice.
Everyone takes rest for the whole day. In the evening, Renée goes to Raféal's room.
■...In Raféal's Bedroom...■
Raféal is packing his luggage.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, I want to talk.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
We had talked last night and I think we are done.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, I'm sorry. When I heard about your marriage with Elina, I just...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You just thought that I'm a characterless man who had hundreds of women in his life and the moment I spent with you, they were just because I wanted to have your body. And I'm just a FKing BST.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, please.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Please what, huh? These are your words. You made my love disgusting that I...
When I said I love you that means I only love you and when I said you are the only woman in my life that was a FKing truth.
But you didn't trust me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, I'm sorry. I thought I might lose you. I was...
Renée holds Raféal's hand but Raféal backwards.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Careful, I might touch you again and you might feel disgusted. And you don't need to worry anymore. After tonight, I will never show you my awful face.
Renée's tears start falling and she immediately hugs him tightly.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Please don't get angry anymore, didn't you say you love me then please forgive me. Don't do this, please.
Raféal strongly jerks her off.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Before I get more furious, just leave the room.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, please.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
JUST LEAVE, RENÉE.
Renée flinches by Raféal's furious behaviour and she leaves from there.
It's the 'Era Concert'. It's like the New Year celebrations. Many artists all over the world perform in Venice every Era. It is one of the biggest celebrated days in Ivanná.
It's Justin Bieber's performance.
Roselie William
Wow, this concert is huge.
Jackson William
It's the most celebrated concert of Ivanná. Of course, it will be huge.
Abella William
It's been a while since I attended the 'Era Concert'.
Edward Wilson
And it's my first time attending a concert.
Abella William
Oh gosh, you're so boring.
Edward Wilson
Not more than you.
Abella William
You must be joking.
...............................................................
It's Shawn Mendes's performance.
Everyone is talking and enjoying the concert except Raféal and Renée. Raféal is angry and Renée is upset about it. She is constantly looking at him with the hope to meet their eyes but... He didn't even look for once.
...............................................................
It's Jeon Jungkook's performance.
Renée walks to Raféal and holds his forearms. Raféal steps back and ignores her.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Just look at me for once.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Don't say sorry to a nasty man.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
You are not. I'm really ashamed of what I said. I won't repeat my mistakes. Please forgive me.
...............................................................
It's Atif Aslam's performance.
Raféal is still not looking at her but suddenly, a drunk man holds Renée's hand and asks for dance. Renée gets scared and flinches. Immediately, Raféal punches the man.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Don't you dare to touch her.
Raféal again tries to hit him but Renée holds him back.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, please don't.
He calms down but she doesn't leave him. She keeps hugging him from behind and feels his warmth.
...............................................................
It's Arijit Singh's performance.
Suddenly, Raféal speaks in a very soft voice that...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I really love you... but your eyes I'm... I'm just a BST.
Renée holds him more tightly and tears start flowing from her eyes.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm so sorry.
Raféal breaks the hug and takes her to others. Raféal has decided to leave tonight for business purposes.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay, then goodbye, everyone. It was really pleasant to have you, Edward.
Edward Wilson
Thanks for having me. Goodbye, Raféal.
Raféal and Edward shake hands. Raféal says goodbye to everyone except Renée. She was waiting for her turn, but he just leaves without saying anything while she is trying to hold her tears back.
Raféal goes to his car. But his heart can't endure the pain of leaving Renée. Her tears and apology stop him from going back.
Raféal tells his driver that he will not go. So, the driver drives back to Féal.Villa. Raféal returns to the concert stadium. But...
Raféal's car explodes in the middle of the road. The explosion creates a huge noise and grabs everyone's attention. Renée and everyone runs out from the concert stadium and goes to the road.
Abella William
Oh my God, this is... this is Raféal's car.
This one sentence of Bella's shatters everyone's heart, especially Renée's. Her eyes fill with tears and and her hands start shaking.
She tries to touch the car, she wants to take out Raféal. She starts screaming 'Raféal'. But Edward holds her back tightly.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Brother, Raféal is in the car. Leave me, he is stuck. (Crying)
Edward Wilson
Renée, calm down.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
No brother, look at the fire, he needs me. (Crying)
Edward Wilson
You can't, Renée. It's dangerous. Please calm down.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
RAFÉAL. RAFÉAL.
Renée frees herself from Edward's grip and tries to jump on the fire. But...
Someone holds her from behind.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Doctor.
Renée feels the touch and voice familiar. She looks back and sees that it's Raféal, the person she loves, the person who has became her life.
She takes him in her arms.
Renée starts checking his body.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Tell me. (Crying)
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Calm down, I'm fine. It's okay.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I thought you... you... (Crying)
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Sshh... It's okay. I'm fine.
Raféal hugs her and she is still crying but suddenly, she stops. When Raféal checks her, he finds out she has collapsed.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Doctor, Doctor. Can you hear me? Talk to me. Doctor.
BRING THE CAR. FAST.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Just be with me. I won't let anything happen to you, Doctor.
Raféal takes her in his arms and takes her to the hospital immediately.
Raféal puts Renée on the stretcher and doctors take her inside the OT.
The doctor comes out after 10 minutes and says...
Doctor
Who is the family of the patient?
Edward Wilson
I'm... I'm her brother.
Doctor
Look, the patient isn't injured, she is just unconscious.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Then, why isn't she waking up?
Doctor
Her nerves are extremely violent right now. It looks like she went through some big trauma. Did something happen?
Abella William
Earlier, my brother's car got into an accident and we thought that he was dead. She was really crying and panicking.
Doctor
But it looks like something is more intense than this happened to her.
Edward Wilson
When she was 5, one day, she went shopping with our mother. While coming back, my mother's car met with an accident. Renée somehow managed to survive, but...
But she saw mom... dying in front of her eyes. She couldn't sleep or speak after several months after that accident. She still has nightmares.
Today's accident made her go through everything she experienced in her childhood.
Everyone is heartbroken after listening to Edward. Edward can't hold anymore and leaves from there, Bella goes after him.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Can I see her for once?
Doctor
You can but she is sleeping now. So, don't disturb.
■...In Hospital Corridor...■
Edward is looking outside and crying, remembering his mother's death. When his mother died, he was also young. He loves his sister the most, her pain is bothering him. Everything made him go through a mental breakdown.
Abella William
Are you okay, Edward?
He doesn't say anything. And suddenly, Bella hugs him slowly and pats his back.
Abella William
I know it's a huge pain. But I know that you and Renée are very strong. So, don't worry about her.
Edward can't hold it anymore and hugs back Bella. Then, he starts crying loudly and Bella comforts him without saying anything.
■...In The Hospital Cabin...■
Raféal sits beside Renée and holds her hand. Her pain and her condition tear up his heart.
His tears start coming off. He holds her hand and kisses on her hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Doctor, is it hurting anywhere? (Crying)
Please talk to me, I am begging you, please. I will listen to you, I promise but please talk to me for once. Open your eyes, please. (Crying)
Raféal's voice is cracking by every passing moment. His tears are falling nonstop.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Every time I needed you, you were there to hold my hand but...(Crying) but I couldn't recognise your pain behind your smile. But I promise...(Crying) I promise you that I'll always be by your side, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you.
I love you, doctor. (Crying) I love you so much. Please wake up. (Crying)
Suddenly, Renée's hand starts moving and she starts mummering.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Mom... no, no. Mom...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Doctor, can you hear me? It's me, your Raféal.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal... Raféal... car... fire... RAFÉAL.
With a sudden scream Renée opens her eyes and sees that Raféal is in front of him. She immediately sits up and hugs him.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Are you okay? Tell me. Did you get hurt?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Calm down. I'm fine. You are not okay, please calm down.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm sorry. (Crying) I won't hurt your feelings anymore. Please don't have me... Please (Crying) don't leave me. Please.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I love you and I'll always love you, only you.
I've already said that I'm all yours. Please don't say sorry. I should be sorry.
They break the hug and Raféal wipes her tears. Then, he kisses her forehead.
Suddenly, Edward opens the door and everyone enter into the room. They leave each other and Edward hugs Renée.
Edward Wilson
Are you okay, Renée?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm fine, brother.
Edward Wilson
Sorry, really, brother is really sorry that you are hurt. Let's go back, I won't let anything happen again.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Brother, please calm down. I'm okay and nobody is at fault for whatever happened.
The doctor comes and checks Renée's condition.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Doctor, I want to go home.
Doctor
You can but let the drip finish. And don't take stress and have proper rest. And have some medicines that I'll prescribe.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Okay, doctor.
Edward Wilson
You take rest and I'll make the checks clear.
After a while, Renée's drip is finished and she gets ready to go home.
But when she tries to stand, she can't feel any strength in her body. So, Raféal picks her in his arms and takes her to the car.
Renée is taking rest in her bed while Bella is with her. She helped Renée in changing her clothes and sat beside her. Suddenly, Raféal comes into the room with food on his plate.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I've made some soup for her. Have this and take your medicine.
Renée is constantly looking at Raféal without saying anything and Bella notices this.
Abella William
Raféal, can you help her? I need to freshen up.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Okay.
Abella William
Great, I'll be back soon.
Bella goes out of the room. Raféal takes the food in his hand and sits beside her. Then he starts feeding her and she quietly finishes the food.
They both keep quiet for the whole time but when Raféal gives her the medicines.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Now take rest rest and sleep well. Good night.
Raféal gives a kiss on her forehead and he turns to leave. But...
Renée holds Raféal's hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
For how long?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Is forever too long?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Seems so short.
Edward is sitting alone in the garden. When Bella sees him, she goes to join him and sits beside her.
Abella William
What are you doing here?
Edward Wilson
Nothing. How is Renée?
Abella William
Good, she is sleeping. It's late, you also go to sleep.
Abella William
Look, I know it's a tough time for you and Renée. But you have to stay strong for her.
Edward Wilson
It's been 20 years since I kept myself strong, but now... I don't think I can be strong anymore.
When my mom died, I was also young. I was just 11 years old. When I was busy mourning for my mom, I noticed that I'm losing my sister. After almost 20 days of the accident, I made myself smile so that I could cheer Renée up.
Edward Wilson
I played with her and she smiled after 3 months and I forgot my every sorrow. She is my sister and I'm just 6 years older than her but I love her like my own child. She is very, very important to me.
But... but now I can't be so strong. Sometimes, I also need to take out my pain and finish this sorrow but I can't... I just...
Abella William
Forget that you are a brother or a son. Just remember one thing, you are not alone and be yourself. I'll be here for you as long as you want.
Edward's eyes get softened. He puts his head on her shoulder and he holds her hand.
Edward Wilson
Thank you, princess.
Abella William
It's Bella.
Raféal lies beside Renée and takes her in his arms while tucking themselves in the blanket.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Are you feeling better now?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
How could you dare to jump on a burning car?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I thought you were in the car. I didn't realise what I was doing.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
But still, it was risky.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I can't just sit and see you getting hurt.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Never do this again.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I can't promise.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why are you so stubborn?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
This is who I am. Now deal with it.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I would love to.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
For a moment, I thought I had lost you. Never ever leave me again.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
That day, I was going back to home with mom. I was in the backseat and my mom was driving the car.
Kate Wilson
Today you got all your favourite toys and chocolates. Are you happy today?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yeah, I'm very happy.
(5 years old)
Kate Wilson
Today, when dad comes back home, we will have a big dinner.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yeah. (5 years old)
Suddenly, while playing with her toys Renée's finger gets cut and she starts crying and Kate looks back.
Kate Wilson
What happened baby?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Mom, it's hurting.
(Crying) (5 years old)
While Kate was looking back, a truck hit the car and it rolls over the road.
Kate is injured but she manages to open her seat belt and then she opens Renée's seat belt as well and Kate makes a little way to push Renée outside of the car but Kate is still stuck in the car.
Kate Wilson
Run, Renée, run.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But mom, you also come with me.
(Crying) (5 years old)
Kate Wilson
Go and call somebody to help mom.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Okay.
(Crying) (5 years old)
Renée runs to call someone for help, but suddenly, the car blasts with Kate in front of Renée's eyes.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
MOM. (5 years old)
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I lost her in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything. (Crying) I don't want to lose you. (Crying)
Death isn't really scary for the one who's gonna die but it's scary for the ones who are gonna be left behind. (Crying)
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It's okay, my doctor is very brave, right. Don't cry anymore. You never showed me your pain. But now I promise you, I'll take all your pain and never let another pain touch you.
I love you, doctor.
[You deserve better, so I'll become better for you.]
Raféal pats her head and she sleeps in his arms, feeling secured.
