The Gray Autumn's

The End of Autumn

While Autumn and Benjamin finished little things in preparation for their marriage, Edgar ordered his confidants to take care of the process of transferring patients on behalf of Benjamin Evariste of Guadalajara, in a hospital in Paris. It's not hard for someone like Edgar Hillaire to do that. Without having to wait for long, Benjamin had now gotten much more adequate treatment there.

Infused with pity in Edgar's heart, when he saw the condition of his childhood friend. He also met Raquel Orville. Raquel seems to be very fluent in French. He thanked me for all the help Edgar gave.

And Arumi as well. The beautiful woman was so overwhelmed when she saw the condition of Benjamin Evariste. The man who used to look very handsome and dashing, now looked skinny and helpless. Nothing could be seen from it, as all that was left was wrinkled skin with protruding bones in some parts of the body. Arumi turned to Edgar, as if asking for approval to get closer to the man who used to be infatuated with him. The man was now lying helplessly, and looked more like an undead.

After Edgar nodded, Arumi dared to approach the bed. He stared at Benjamin Evariste's face with his eyes closed. "Ben, it's Arumi. Can you hear me?" whispered Arumi.

“There is still no meaningful development, Madam," Raquel said softly.

"She is still in a coma,” continued the woman was sad.

"May you both always be happy, Mr and Mrs Hillaire" Raquel said sincerely, embracing Arumi, who was turning to her at the time.

"Thank you very much, Mrs Orville. I hope that Mr. Evariste can recover soon," Arumi replied accompanied by a warm smile while breaking her embrace.

"That's always been our hope, ma'am. Now I feel a lot calmer, because Leon doesn't have to go back and forth. We're really grateful for both of you're kind, "the happy look is clearly visible on Raquel's face. He looks so good. Raquel never knew the dark story that had happened in the past of Benjamin Evariste.

The day that had been awaited finally arrived, when Benjamin could see how beautiful Autumn was in a very beautiful wedding dress. His magnificent hotel ballroom bears witness to a love story that is again present in the life of Benjamin Royce. Not bored, the gray-eyed man admired the beauty of Autumn who has now officially become his wife, after they had previously performed a wedding blessing at one of the churches in Paris.

During the party, everyone present looked very happy. They so enjoy a luxurious treat there, in the midst of the cold air that envelops the capital of the country of France. Fleur is no exception. The little girl shrewdly showed off her talent in playing the piano. He performed a very remarkable performance, when the musical accompaniment of the piano keys he played accompanied Autumn and Benjamin while dancing. Fleur had made all the invited guests so mesmerized to him.

Edgar and Arumi, too. As the parents of the bride, of course they were the happiest at the time. A wide smile continues to grow from the face of the two while replying to every greeting and greeting from every colleague and also other colleagues outside of business affairs.

Keanu and his extended family were also present there. Likewise with Dinan who had not met with Arumi for a long time. Too bad, because he didn't bring his little family with him.

While Aamber stood in the corner of the room while paying attention to everyone who looked happy. On the one hand, he was also happy with the marriage that Benjamin had with Autumn. However, on the other hand his memory was fixed on the long-gone princess. The taste of haru also appeared and made him have to shed tears.

Without feeling it, the festive party was over. Autumn no longer lives in the Hillaire family residence. Since officially bearing Royce's last name, of course, he must always be near the husband. Like that night, which became the first night for the two of them in bondage as husband and wife. Benjamin hugged the friendly Autumn who was standing in front of the makeup mirror. This was the first time for the gray-eyed young lady to wear a lingerie. "Do I look weird?" autumn asked with an amused laugh, as the fine hairs growing on Benjamin's chin tickled his neck.

"You look so beautiful and so much more mature. I like it, so I don't feel too old around you anymore" Benjamin said, laughing softly.

"Hey, who says you're old?" Autumn played both of her beautiful eyeballs.

"That's reality. You're a sweet girl who's adorable, "Benjamin pinches gently on Autumn's cheeks and nose.

"Oh, I forgot. Right now you're not a girl anymore, because you've become Mrs Royce. It was like a dream, when in the end I could really realize the desire to get through the winter of the year as well as the thousands of other seasons with you, "Benjamin kissed fondly on Autumn's shoulders, said the Pope, the one with the small string of black lingerie.

"Are you happy?" ask Autumn.

"Should you ask like that?" Benjamin asked back.

"How happy are you?" ask Autumn again.

"You want to know?" benjamin whispered as he lowered the small rope that was on Autumn's shoulders slowly.

"Show me," replied Autumn who immediately replied to something surprising from Benjamin. The copper-haired brunette suddenly lifted Autumn's body, then carried her up near the bed. Slowly, Benjamin threw the young woman down there, with a pile of soft pillows propping her head. Without giving a pause, Benjamin then meluku rannum lips wife who immediately pulled his body until fused with the body Autumn.

Spoiled sigh accompanied by soft groans, mingled with heavy sighs that began to fill the dimly lit room. One, two touches will never be enough for those two who are at the top of happiness. The heat struggle full of sweat and fatigue that whack, no longer felt. That night, the couple just wanted to warm themselves from the cold weather before the turn of the season.

The night is getting late. The atmosphere is getting quieter. Autumn had been asleep in Benjamin's warm embrace, until morning came. It was the first morning for them as husband and wife. Autumn then wriggled quietly while trying to get up, when a knocking sound came on the door. So too with Benjamin. Though drowsiness and fatigue are still trailing them both.

"Who is that?" whispered Autumn with a voice that sounded raucous. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. She forced herself to get out of bed and then put on her pants. It did not escape Autumn's naughty gaze.

"Not now, Elle. If you want, we can continue later" Benjamin said, leaning closer to Autumn. He kissed the lips and forehead of his wife who just laughed crisply. As Benjamin opened the door, Autumn immediately put on her lingerie and kimono.

"Good morning, Papa," said Fleur. The little girl already looked beautiful with her appearance that always looked neat and girly.

"Good morning, Fleur. You woke up so quickly," Benjamin replied as he restored his hair.

A moment later, Fleur's attention was turned to the newly emerging Autumn and standing next to her father. The copper-haired little girl immediately smiled. "Good morning, Mama" she said warmly.

Autumn was stunned as she turned to Benjamin. She felt disbelief when Fleur called her mama. Autumn also smiled broadly as she leaned her body in front of Fleur. A gentle warm kiss landed on the ten-year-old girl's forehead.

"You don't mind if I call you 'mama'?" ask Fleur.

"Why should I mind?" Autumn still showed her a big smile.

"That's supposed to be, Fleur," said Benjamin. "Elle has officially become my wife, which means she is also your mother. You should have called her 'mama'. I was happy to hear it," Benjamin rewarded his daughter with a kiss that was no less warm and tender.

"Are you guys going to join me and Grandma for breakfast?" ask Fleur.

"Yes. We'll get ready first" Benjamin said as he glanced at Autumn who responded with a slow nod. Autumn was no longer surprised when she heard Fleur calling Aamber a grandmother because Benjamin had told her everything.

"alright. Then, I wait at the dinner table," Fleur smiled before turning around and stepping with his support stick, accompanied by the gazes of Benjamin and Autumn.

"What if we take a warm bath for a while?" haggle Benjamin while whispering.

"Whatever you want" Autumn said, leading her husband to the bathroom.

Inside the lavish bathroom, the newlyweds were soaking together in a bathtub filled with warm water. Benjamin unceasingly kissed the shoulders and neck of Autumn who was sitting leaning against his chest. Every now and then, he poured water from his hands on his wife's arm.

"I want to be like this forever" whispered Benjamin. "Let the leaves continue to fall and the snow falls to the earth, but I want to stand by you, hold your hand and hold you tight."

Autumn smiled then turned her head to the side, welcoming the warm kiss of the most charming man in her heart. "I love you, Benjamin Royce" said Autumn.

"I love you, Autumn Dorielle Royce."
