Dragon Loves Me

Ivy was shocked after seeing the person in front of her, his image is deep rooted in her mind, she can easily recognise him in the crowd. He is none other than her grandfather in the modern world.

Who looked after her and taught her so many things. He cares for her like a mother, and protects like her father. He is the most cherished person in her life, but his death left a big hole in her heart. Whenever she feels low, she faces any troubles, she achieves something, there is no one to share.

She felt despair, helplessness every time. It took her a lot of time to adjust and to live with his memories.

Now the person in front of her is none other than her grandfather who is looking exactly like him in the modern world. She made up her mind to face the situations and came down to look for her parents but after seeing her grandfather all her pent up emotions came out like a volcano.

One tear rolled down from her face and another, soon the tears flowed uncontrollably. Henirich looked at Ivy with surprise when she called him grandpa, which is different and seems intimate. But he got shocked when he saw the pain, loneliness, despair, helplessness, love, longing there are so many emotions flowing through her eyes and her tears are pouring down.

Everyone looked at Ivy with surprise and shock when she recognized him and her tears twisted their hearts. They don't know the reason but seeing her crying like that made their heart clench.

Henirich stood up and went towards her, whose body was shivering. He patted her shoulder and Ivy came out of her trance and hugged him tight.

"Gramps.." Ivy cried.

Ivy cried for quite some time no one said a thing, they all rooted to their spots. They don't know why she is crying very hard but they are feeling her emotions which are very strong. They started thinking that the marriage proposal made her cry but crying this hard just for that didn't seem plausible.

Allora went towards her and called her name "Ivy"

Ivy sensed the warmth of her mother's hand on her back and when she called her name then only she recognised that she is in a different time and place. The people around her, her body doesn't belong to her.

But she own them as her parents and she felt this is her home. She never felt this kind of comfort, satisfaction back in her days. Slowly she parted from Henirich and wiped her tears.

Simon came forward and gave her another hand cloth to wipe her tears. Ivy smiled at her father and took the cloth. She wiped her face clean, Allora handed her some water which Ivy drank and felt good.

"Dear, what exactly happened? Why did both girls cry a lot?" Henirich inquired he and turned towards Simon, he looked at him sternly "Simon, what is this? Are you looking after them properly or not?"

Simon felt wronged but seeing them cry made him doubt himself, he thought that he was not spending time with them? Or he becomes busy with other affairs and neglects them? All kinds of questions appear in his head.

Ivy felt bad for her father and came to his rescue "Grandpa.. *Cough* Grandfather it's not like that. Father is taking care of us and he loves us very much. He even came home early to spend time with us. Don't blame him.. Please.."

Ivy changed from calling him as Grandpa as here it is never used and she also doesn't know whether he will like that or not.

Henirich liked calling her Grandpa instead of Grandfather but when Ivy changed her greeting he frowned. He doesn't want to be called Grandfather now.

"Hmph. It's good that way." Henirich gave a stern look at Simon again and turned towards Ivy. He let out a fake cough and said "Call me like before child"

Ivy was surprised with his request and smiled "Okay Grandpa". She felt happy that this grandfather is not only similar in appearance but also in actions.

Ronald and Elric didn't know what happened and what they needed to do to make her smile. But after seeing her smile they felt happy and relieved.

"God. Ivy you scared me for a moment. I thought it was because.." before Ronald completed his words Simon warned him "Ronald, don't spout nonsense."

Ronald gulped and looked at Ivy with pleading eyes. Ivy chuckled and said "I am all good now brother."

Ronald sighed with relief and Ivy looked at another person who was looking like a fairy god. His sapphire eyes, his smooth brown hair gave him a godly appearance.

"This.."

Elric sensed her gaze on him and introduced himself "Hello Aivyn. I am Elric. We met two or three times in Neivya but you probably didn't remember me. But I am glad to see you in person.``

His smile is like a spring in summer and his voice is melodious like pleasant music. Ivy smiled unknowingly just seeing his smile and thought that his smile is contagious.

"Hello Elric. Nice to meet you" Ivy felt happy with his kind behaviour.

"Father, you must be tired from the journey. Please take some rest" Allora made Henirich rest for sometime before attending the night party.

Henirich and Elric went inside to take some rest, Allora helped them to their rooms. After making sure they left Simon looked at Ivy.

"Ivy.." Simon called her out. Ivy turned around and looked at Simon.

"Yes dad" Ivy said as Simon is not speaking anything after calling her.

Simon sighed and patted her head lovingly "Don't worry, if you don't like the suitor we will reject him. Don't forgot your father will never made you compromise for anything even if it means to fight against his majesty"

Ivy was touched by his sincere words and loving gaze, she was truly lucky to have them in her life and she will never let them fall in danger.

"Thanks Dad." Ivy smiled.

"Yes, Ivy. We are with you" Ronald said and his smile was warm.

Ivy nodded while stopping her tears which were threatening to fall. 'Aish...I am such a cry baby'
