Marie never expected that she could really forget about her pain by screaming her hearts out in Universal Studios. In fact, she didn't remember when she felt such happiness in her whole life.
Suddenly, three hours passed... just like that. Marie almost lost her voice for screaming too much during the rides, she could barely speak. However, her eyes were filled with happiness. When they finally got off the last ride, it was already 4 pm.
"Thank you for taking me here," Marie touched Nicolae's hand and rubbed the back of the man's hand with a grateful expression. She looked at him deeply. "I'm not too sad right now."
Nicolae nodded with a smile. He ruffled Marie's hair gently, like to a child. "I am glad to hear that."
Nicolae then took Mary's hand and brought her back to the parking lot. He opened the passenger door for the girl, then get into the driver's seat. They did not say anything along the way back to the crematorium.
Nicolae glanced sideways several times and he was satisfied to see that Marie's face looked brighter. He felt a little relieved that he managed to console her. He knew losing a parent was a heartbreaking experience because he had been in a similar position.
He hoped after he left the girl, Marie would slowly recover and return to her original self. In a few days, Nicolae would go to Grosetto and return Altair and Vega to their parents.
He still didn't know what he wanted to do afterward. Maybe he would visit Terry's place in New York and stay there for some time and find out what he wanted in life.
He did not want to keep staying away from his family just because he still harbored love for his brother's wife. If that didn't work ... then he would go back on adventures and see the world.
During his six-year adventure around the world, he had met so many travelers and witness so many less fortunate people lived. That made him count his blessings and appreciated his life more. He also started learning new languages and cultures. They had made his life richer.
Ah, that reminded him, he must immediately prepare for his departure. Tomorrow, he and the children must start packing because they had to leave for Italy in two days.
Those thoughts managed to divert Nicolae's attention from the sadness that filled her c.h.e.s.t when she saw Marie grieving for her mother's death. He thought a lot about his departure to Grosetto and his life after he went back to being alone, without Altair and Vega. At the same time, Marie was contemplating her fate. She also had nobody in the world and had officially become an orphan.
The journey toward the crematorium was very quiet. When they arrived back at the crematorium, the staff immediately took them to the waiting room. There, a jar containing Mrs. Lu's ashes had been prepared for them. Sadness immediately returned to Marie, but she managed to hold back and not cry.
Seeing the girl's obstinacy, Nicolae felt touched. He hugged her to his c.h.e.s.t and rubbed her back to comfort her. Marie tried to look strong and smiled thinly as she whispered, "Thank you. I'm lucky to have a husband like you."
Nicolae just nodded, thinking that Marie was trying to joke to lighten the atmosphere, even though inwardly, she actually meant what she was saying.
"I'll carry the urn," Nicolae offered.
Marie nodded and let the man carry the urn filled with her mother's ashes. As they had talked about earlier, Marie wanted to scatter her mother's ashes in the sea, so Nicolae immediately took them in his car to the harbor.
There, he had rented a catamaran to take them to the middle of the ocean so they could scatter Mrs. Lu's ashes. Even though his brother, Alaric, owned a ship at the Marina Bayfront pier, Nicolae chose to rent a ship from a commercial company because he did not want to leave tracks if he used Alaric sh.i.p.s.
Half an hour later, Marie and Nicolae, together with the urn containing Mrs. Lu's ashes, were already on the catamaran in the middle of the ocean. The sun was setting, and the atmosphere felt so solemn.
Right around sunset, when the beautiful skyline was tinged with orange and purple, Marie opened the urn and then solemnly scattered her mother's ashes into the sea.
"Goodbye, Mom. Thank you for taking care of me and being the best mother to me all this time. I really love you. Send my regards to Dad. Someday I will join you two in heaven. Until then, I promise, Mom... that I will live well. " Her voice trembled and tears dripped down her cheeks as she said her last farewell to her mother.
After the last ashes were carried by the wind into the sea, Marie's tears flooded again, and she couldn't hold back anymore.
Nicolae was very moved because he had witnessed the series of events from the time Marie introduced him to her mother, then they got married to make her mother happy on her last day on earth, then the death of Mrs. Lu, followed by the cremation process and now they scattered her ashes into the sea ...
For some reason, in such a short time, Nicolae had become a part of Marie's life who witnessed important moments in her life. He subconsciously felt some kind of bond between them because they shared so many intense moments in such a short amount of time.
Now, seeing Marie wailing again, Nicolae only felt deep sympathy for her. He naturally took her into his arms and hug her to his c.h.e.s.t. He rubbed Marie's head and back to comfort her.
"I'm sorry for crying again ... I promise, this is the last time. Thank you for staying with me for the past few days. I'm indebted to you forever," Marie whispered.
