Chapter 75 - 74 (1/2)

”Rose I am asking a question,” asked Ermanno again.

”I don't want to eat fish” whispered Rose.

”What do you want to eat?” Asked Ermanno.

Rose bit her lower lip and thought and said ”I want a burger”

”Okay. Want me to order it in or want to go get it ourselves?” Asked Ermanno smiling at her.

Rose looked at him and said ”you just came back from the office. You must be tired. We can't go out now. I'll just eat something else”

”No. We will go outside. To think of it, I like a burger too” said Ermanno.

Rose nodded and left the table to change.

Rose came down and saw Ermanno packing the food they didn't eat.

Rose looked at him and he said ”we didn't eat. But some else who is starving can fill their stomach”

Rose nodded and went out with him to the garage.

”Want to choose our ride?” Asked Ermanno.

”I don't care,” said Rose.

Ermanno didn't like seeing Rose like that. He was used to the naughty bubbly happy Rose.

He took a deep breath and said ”you know I am feeling driving something speed. Can you handle it”

Rose just nodded.

Ermanno smiled and took out his

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 SuperSport.

Rose looked at the car and smiled a little.

'that's a start' thought Ermanno.

Rose started laughing out loud when Ermanno started driving the in full speed.

They reached Mcdonalds and Ermanno insisted they eat it in the restaurant but Rose wanted to eat it in the car.

Ermanno with very heavy heart agreed. Come on, it's a beautiful car and she had burgers, fries, coke and so many dips. And so many bags of food.

”I am thinking a picnic,” said Ermanno and drove them to a hilltop and placed his jacket on the ground and made Rose sit on it.

Rose narrowed her eyes and said, ”is it because you don't want your car to get dirty?”

”N-no. I-i like the view of the sky here” said Ermanno.

”Really?” Said Rose and didn't discuss anything further and started eating her food.

Ermanno smiled at her and ate his only burger.

He tried reaching for the fries but Rose hit his hand to not touch her fries.

”You should have got your own fries.” Said Rose eating like she had been starving for ages.

After they ate Ermanno cleaned the leftover garbage and put it in a big paper bag and threw it in a garbage can at a distance.

He returned to see Rose walking toward the other direction from him.

Ermanno looked up front where she was going and cursed at his stupidity.

Rose was going toward the graveyard where Sofia was buried.

Rose reached Sofia's grave and looked down.

She sat down on the ground and moved the fallen leaves and read the inscription on them.

Ermanno came behind Rose and stood there looking at Sofia's grave.

”You know she too wanted to have a loving husband and two kids. She wanted to live” said Rose with tears which didn't stop today.

They both stayed there in silence for a while and then Rose stood up and walked back to the car and Ermanno followed her.

The ride back home was silent.
