Francessa's POV

People do call me weird. Even adrift.

I never believed them until today. I feel like questioning myself, whether I imagined all this? How can this be imagination?

He admitted himself of having a wife! I remember it and now he is blaming me that I have imagined all this and spread the rumour about him. He is...

"Not again! You are lost... Again. Did you hear what I said?" He asked looking as irritated as one can be when one does not get to eat something good for days.

"Huh?" I might have sounded as confused as I feel. Great! Just great!

I am confused. I am hanging in the air.

Just the protection that, his arms are protective shell and I am feeling more secure being in his arms.

"You fight, you get angry, you cannot cook. All that is fine, but now you cannot hear too? Are you kidding me?" He snapped again. And now I am getting irritated. Why is he blaming me?

"You! Look you cannot shout at me like this. I am not saying anything that doesn't mean I am weak okay! Why are you shouting exactly? You said you are going to US for your wife. I didn't create anything imaginary!" I snapped back at him.

"God! You didn't hear again!" I looked at him in confusion.

"What I didn't hear?" I asked him. He dropped me lightly and caged me against the wall. Again.

"You know, I feel you are most clueless person I have ever met." I glared at him and tried to push him.

"Now... Listen to me very clearly. I am not married." I looked at him in shock.

"But..."

"And if you are going to say that, I said that I am going to get my wife... Then hear me again. Yes, I said that." I looked at him with a look that said 'I am right'.

"But, what you didn't hear is my clarification that day because... You were lost in your own sweet world where you get people married even when they are not." I glared at him.

"I didn't imagine anything you getting married. I just imagined Stella as your wife. And it was an honest mistake really." I said admitting half of my mistake and making him realize that he also made a mistake.

"Will you let me complete?" He snapped at me again.

"If you will stop jeering me in every sentence that you speak!" I snapped back at him. He does know how to get on my nerves as well as he knows how to enter my heart without any prior warning.

"Fine! I will try not to be insulting. But no promises! I cannot control myself when it comes to you." I looked at him in shock.

Maybe after seeing me, he looked shocked too.

After multiple times of throat clearing, he looked at me with embarrassment. And with every throat clearance, hopes bubbled in my heart that he might be interested in me.

"I mean... You take the worst out of me." And here goes all my hopes.

"You also do the same!" I snapped at him.

"Great! At least we are on same page." He said while smirking.

"Yes. Great. Now give your clarification!" I said sardonically.

"Ahh... Yes. So on the day, you came to my house...

(A/N I love flashbacks so here we go!)

Alessandro's POV

I chuckled at her shocked expressions. People find it difficult to believe that I am married... And looking at her face, I can say that she actually believed it.

I won the bet Nonna!

I made a person believe that I am married. Now you cannot force me to get married. I remembered what my Nonna said-

"Ale... If you can make one person believe that you are married, I will not ask you to get married ever."

"Remember it, Nonna. Because if you shove one more girl after I win this bet then you will have to make this lasagne for me everyday." Nonna smile and nodded.

"Deal." Nonna said and I recorded the conversation. That was when I was 25 and stupid but finally I made someone believe that I am married. Even after Nonna's death, I didn't forget to fulfill my part of the bet.

Too bad, she will not be able to make lasagne anymore. I tried to control my reddened eyes from flowing.

"Ms. Santorini, I was just joking. I am going to US to bring my friend here. Actually, you know he got into an major accident and he is in pathetic condition now. And his wife... She is pregnant." I said to while smiling sadly.

Now I have a family but my friend is not well. There is always something missing in my life, I think.

Can I have everything in my life for once?

"I will also bring his doctor along, I think. He might help if not much that can be done. Stella does try to take care of herself but sometimes she just breaks. Imagine how hard her life is right now. As a brother, I need to be there for her but she pleaded me to go and meet Tristan and Carmelia." I don't know why I said all this to her but it does feel light hearted now that I am talking to someone.

But what I cannot believe is that someone is the person with whom I fought the whole day. Apparently, I never indulged myself into stupid fights without fists involved and this was my first ever real fighting experience without fists.

God might blast me later but this whole day no matter how much tiring it was but it rejuvenated me from the core. My body feels tired but my heart feels so much alive and kicking.

******
And later that night, I laughed so hard on myself and slept very peacefully.

"So, this is what happened. Stella is not my wife but my sister. And I will go to US to bring her husband here. I cared for her because she is pregnant. And... Why are you smiling?" While rambling, I suddenly looked at her face to see her smiling brightly.
