Chapter Forty Seven


Marcus, was already there, waiting when Fara and Urs got back to the hotel after their horse ride. Urs had gone to get changed when Fara found Marcus, already waiting.
‘Darling’ he hugged Fara. She didn’t hug him back, ‘You ok?’ he asked, sensing something was wrong.
‘I…I can’t marry you Marcus. Not anymore’ Fara honestly told him.
‘Why not?’ he asked.
‘I…I don’t love you’
‘That never stopped you before…’
‘I realised. That I can’t live without love’
‘You’re…in love with someone else then I’m guessing?’ Marcus asked.
‘Yes’ Fara nodded and sighed.
‘Him. Amelia’s father’ Marcus correctly guessed.
‘Yes’
‘Ooers?’
‘Urs’ Fara corrected, ‘but its too late’ she sighed again, ‘for he doesn’t love me anymore’
‘Oh?’ Marcus asked.
‘I…I tried talking to him. But he wouldn’t listen’
‘Crazy man’
‘No. Just sensible I guess’
‘Do you want me…to talk to him?’ Marcus then offered.
‘It wouldn’t make any difference. He’s made his mind up’
‘What are you going to do then?’
‘Go back to England I suppose. Start again somewhere new’
‘Good luck’ Marcus kissed Fara’s cheek.
‘Thanks…’ she sadly sighed.
-------------------

Fara went to find Urs.
‘Are you going then?’ he asked her.
‘Soon’
‘Where’s Marcus?’ he then asked, looking around for him.
‘He’s gone’
‘I wanted to meet him. To talk about Amelia’
‘He’s….we’re not…together anymore’
‘He dumped you?’ Urs asked.
‘No. I finished it with him’
‘Why?’
‘I can’t live with someone I don’t love’

‘But I thought…’
‘So did I, but I was wrong’
‘So…you’re going to be a single mum then?’
‘I did it before, I can do it again’ said Fara.
‘You don’t have to be…’
‘I do Urs’ Fara sighed.
‘Just say the words’
‘I tried. Earlier. But you didn’t want to listen’
‘I did. I do’ Urs corrected himself.
‘You don’t Urs. You told me, that you’ve changed your mind’
‘Not about loving you I haven’t’
‘But I thought…?’ Fara asked.
‘I was going to ask you, one last time, to marry me, that’s what I meant’
‘Pity’ Fara sighed, ‘I would have said yes’
‘You would have?’ Urs asked, looking at her.
‘Yes Urs’
‘But…why?’
‘I love you’ Fara whispered.
‘You…?’
‘I love you’ she repeated.
‘Since…?’
‘I guess, I’ve always loved you’
‘But…’
‘I told you. I talked to Rowi. She made me realise. Made me see, realise, that what I felt, that what I feel…is love’
‘I thought I’d lost you’ Urs mumbled.
‘No. You’ve won me’
‘Have I?’
‘You won me a long time ago. I just never realised’
‘Come here…’ Urs then asked, in a gruff voice.
‘Not yet. Earlier. Those shopping bags…?’
‘I’d bought you, a few things…’
‘Like?’
Urs walked to his wardrobe. He got out a bag he had hidden in it.
‘These…’ he handed it over to Fara.
She looked inside.
‘I needed help…on sizes, colours… so Cydalia came with me’ Urs lightly smiled.
Fara bought out of the bag underwear. A matching set. Several matching sets. They were the right size.
‘I’ve always wanted matching underwear…’ Fara smiled, blushing slightly.
‘I guessed as much’ Urs smiled back, ‘do you like them?’ he asked.
‘I love them’ Fara replied, she looked up at him, ‘I love you Urs’
‘Marry me?’ he asked.
‘Yes please’
‘I’ve got you a ring…’ he reached into his jeans pocket and bought out a small box.
‘I’ve still got my old one..’ Fara then confessed.
‘Oh?’
‘I kept it. Here’ she put her hands into her pocket and bought it out, ‘it goes everywhere I go’ she confessed.
‘Then you can have two’ Urs smiled, slipping both rings onto her finger and pulling her close, ‘I love you’ he whispered before kissing her, holding her close.
Fara returned the kissing.
--------------------

No one was surprised at their engagement or at Fara’s public confession of love for Urs. The public confession happened when IL DIVO did a private concert for some American politicians a week later. IL DIVO were on stage at the time, having just finished singing, ‘Every time I look at you’ when Fara appeared on stage, microphone in hand and walked straight up to a stunned, but happy Urs and said so everyone could hear, ‘I love this man. The wonderful Urs Toni Buhler. My fiancé’ then she kissed him.
The crowd all clapped and cheered.
‘And I love you Fara Jane Hollinshead’ Urs returned.
--------------------

Six weeks later, they married. In Churston Cove, South Devon just as Fara had always dreamed of. Amelia again was flower girl. Colby page boy. Rowi and Camy bridesmaids. Cydalia sat next to Carlos with her pregnancy bump as did Dany. Dany was nearly three months pregnant. Rowi was sick before the ceremony also admitting to being pregnant, ‘I’m just gone two months’ she confessed. Linda and Felix were at the wedding too.
David was Urs’ best man.
Fara, and her bump, for yes, she was pregnant, walked down the aisle on her father, Robert’s arm, wearing a dress, yes, that’s right, a dress, of plain white with little blue flowers all over it. Her mother, Patricia sat next to Seb and cried into a tissue.
‘My little girl…getting married at last’ she sobbed over the tissue Seb had given her.
‘Its ok. Fara is in great hands. Urs loves her’ Seb reassured Patricia.
‘I know. I can see. And I can see Fara loves him’ Patricia sniffed.
‘It took her a little time, but she soon realised’ Seb smiled.
‘A man worth waiting for’ smiled Patricia.
‘Now marrying a woman worth waiting for’ Seb added, in agreement.
--------------------

When Elsa found out about the wedding she tried her hardest to ruin it, but she didn’t succeed. Urs and Fara together were just too strong. They needed each other to be strong. Apart they were weak, but together they made sense. Perfect sense. This, was one holiday romance worth waiting for as they both found out.
------------------

Oh, for the honeymoon Urs took Fara and Amelia to Disney world, Florida.
So Fara could meet her favourite Donald Duck. Fara was mad about Donald Duck. She loved Donald Duck because when she was little, her father used to quack to her like Donald Duck does.
‘Don’t go running away with him now!’ Urs laughed as Fara hugged her idol - Donald Duck.
‘How could I? he’s not half as handsome as you!’ Fara returned the laughter.
‘Or…as intelligent!’ Urs added.
‘Plus, all that quacking…could drive a girl crazy!’ Fara agreed.
‘Oh, I do love you Fara Buhler’ Urs smiled, holding her close.
‘And I love you, Urs Buhler’ Fara kissed him, ‘nothing can compare to you’ she told him.
‘Or to you’ he agreed, feeling happy. His family were his now.
His beautiful, wonderful wife Fara and beautiful daughter Amelia and now their new child. Perfect. Complete.

Ps, Cydalia and Carlos had a girl, named Lucia Marin.
Dany and David had a little girl also named Camille.
Rowi and Seb had a little boy, named Stefan.
And Fara and Urs had a little boy, named Lars.
