Dragomir’s feet stopped midways upon hearing that sweet voice that he had yearned to hear again. His eyes curved up in the shape of a crescent moon upon seeing the beautiful love of his life again.

“Auvera!” Dragomir’s eyes were filled with tears of joy. An ecstatic smile danced on his lips after seeing his beloved after so many years. He couldn’t contain his excitement at that unexpected encounter with his long-lost love.

She looked as beautiful as he could recall from his memory. Her silver hair was cascading down like the wave of the waterfall. She was wearing a white gown. And the light that her soul was emitting was making her look no less than a fairy. And she still looked as young as she was when she had left the Earth.

“Dragomir, come here already,” Auvera spread his arms and called him inside Heaven.

Dragomir forgot that he was already old. After seeing the young Auvera, he thought that he was also in his youth. And he ran towards her as he used to at a young age. He stepped inside Heaven and lifted Auvera in his arms.

“Auvera! It’s you!” He made her spin while happily laughing at this unexpected reunion.

Auvera also laughed with joy. “Yes, it’s me. I missed you so much!”

Dragomir finally put her down but kept on hugging her dearly. “You don’t know how much I missed you, Auvera. And now I am finally with you. I’m sorry I made you wait for so long.”

Auvera lightly stroked Dragomir’s back and lovingly whispered, “You don’t have to be sorry, silly. I’m glad that you took your time to come here. I would have been mad at you if you had followed me sooner.”

Dragomir gave a nervous laugh and said, “I would have been mad at myself as well. I still had so much to do back on Earth. But alas, death caught up to me. Now that I am here with you, I am glad that it did.”

They lovingly gazed at each other’s faces and shared their smile. There were no moments this magical compared to the one right now. The feeling of reuniting at Heaven felt surreal to both of them.

Auvera caressed Dragomir’s grey beard and giggled.

Dragomir flicked his brows asking why she was giggling.

Auvera replied while still giggling, “You look so different than I remember.”

“Ah!” Dragomir clicked his tongue and chuckled while scratching his grey hair. “I forgot that I grew old.”

Auvera gleefully laughed at that reply. Her face then turned a little bit eager and she asked her husband, “Dragomir, how is our daughter? She must be all grown up by now.”

Dragomir’s smile now reflected sadness. His pupils dilated remembering their daughter crying when he was on his deathbed.

But he replied proudly, “She has grown up to be an exact copy of the younger you. She is as brave and intelligent as you and as strong as me, no, even stronger than me. And guess what? She will be the Queen of Wyverndale.”

Auvera was delighted to hear that accomplishment of their daughter. “Our daughter will be the Queen?”

“Yes, she will be crowned soon,” Dragomir felt really happy to see the excitement on Auvera’s face. And he felt prouder when she praised him for raising their daughter well.

Auvera couldn’t keep on ignoring the man who was standing outside the gate and was staring at the two of them all this while. She hid her face from that man’s view and asked Dragomir in a soft whisper, “Don’t look right away but who is that man in black cloth outside the gate?”

But Dragomir instantly turned around to see outside the gate.

“Hey! I said don’t look,” Auvera lowered her face even more to hide from that man.

Dragomir turned back at Auvera and laughed seeing her cheeks turn red. “Don’t be shy. He is our son-in-law.”

Auvera misunderstood and gave a horrified look to Dragomir and asked, “Why is he here so early? Did something bad happen to the both of you? Were you perhaps attacked by some–”

Dragomir pressed his finger against his lips to urge her to stop jinxing and he clarified, “It’s nothing like that.” He took one glance at Theodore again and said with a smile, “Our Adeline chose someone very special. He is a fallen angel, Theodore. He just came to see me off.”

“He is a fallen angel?” Auvera was impressed by her daughter even more. “She is one special child then, our daughter.”

She finally shifted to the side so that she could clearly see Theodore. She gave a warm smile to him and waved at him.

Theodore happily waved back at her from where he stood.

“Why isn’t he coming in here though?” Auvera asked Dragomir.

“I don’t think he is allowed in here.” Dragomir didn’t want to spoil the mood by saying the whole story so he asked, “I think we should go inside.” He gave a sad smile and said, “I asked him to go back to our daughter but I think he won’t leave till he sees me here.”

Auvera gazed at the beautiful angel and said to Dragomir, “He must respect you a lot then, for him to escort you here and keep on watching you.”

Dragomir fully turned around to face Theodore. He put his arms around Auvera’s shoulder and smiled at that stubborn Devil. “Yes, he is a wonderful man. I couldn’t have asked for anyone else as our son-in-law.”

Auvera looked up at Dragomir’s face and all she saw was sincerity in his words. It was very apparent to her that Dragomir also equally respected and loved him.

Auvera looked back at Theodore and cupped her mouth. Then she shouted excitedly, “It’s nice to meet you, son-in-law. Tell Adeline I love her. And tell her that her parents are happy up here.”

Theodore couldn’t express how grateful he was when his mother-in-law took the initiative to talk to him. He also cupped his palms over his mouth and replied in a loud voice, “I will relay the message to Adeline. She also loves you and misses you a lot.”

After that brief exchange of words, Theodore was finally content. He was happy after seeing the beautiful view of the loving couple and he added while waving his hand at them, “I will go back to Earth now. Goodbye!”

“Goodbye!” Both Dragomir and Auvera waved back their hands at him.

Theodore had a huge smile on his face as he turned around. He spread out his magnificent wings, surprising Auvera, and then flapped them to travel back to Earth.

Now that he was heading back home, he wished he could teleport to get to Adeline faster. However, that luxury was evoked when he fell from Heaven.

Nevertheless, he flapped his wings at a great speed and zoomed back to Earth.
