In the evening, Dario decided to check on Maria before leaving for the festival. Today was the second and last day of the festival. Though Dario had missed the medical outreach that took place in the early hours of the day till after noon, he had to attend the feast and the closing ceremony.He also had the doctor come over again today to check Maria’s health status during the day. And he confirmed that she was much better and will be completely fine in no time.“Hey mama.”“Yes, my love,” Maria replied. Now she could speak, though her voice still sounded weak and hoarse. Aisha was in the room with Maria before Dario came in. She had been with Maria trying to care for her and keeping her company. “How are you feeling, mama?”“I feel better. Thanks to Aisha,” she replied, looking at Aisha with her eyes lit with gratitude. Dario couldn’t be more grateful to have such a supportive partner and wife. And even if he didn’t say the words ‘thank you’ to Aisha, his eyes and smile screamed

“Are you kidding me?!” Maria screamed, unable to contain her emotions. Her heart almost exploded from how much joy swelled in it. “Is she really pregnant?!” She asked Dario, her eyes still widened in shock. “Are you really pregnant?!” she turned to Aisha and asked, her grin stretching from ear to ear. “Yes, Mother,” Aisha replied, her heart beaming with intense joy at Maria’s reaction. To Maria, this was the greatest news she had received this month. “Oh my god!” she whispered excitedly as her gaze fell on Aisha’s abdomen. Maria’s heart was racing from the surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. She felt intense joy swirl within every of her cells. Her dream to have grandchildren was finally coming close to reality!Maria threw herself at the both of them in a tight hug, her eyes welling with happy tears and her laughter echoing through the room. “I’m so happy!” she managed to say through her laughter.

As Dario approached the room, he shouted at the royal guards, “have you called the doctor?” “Yes, Your Majesty,” they chorused, but Dario didn’t wait to hear their response and kept running towards the room. Though he heard their answer.When Dario got to Maria’s room, he fell on his knees. “Calm down, Aisha,” he said to her, so she stopped shaking Maria and slightly moved away from her. Dario gently shook Maria, he tapped her shoulder and asked loudly, “Are you okay, mama?” But there was no response. He listened to her breathing and felt her pulse to see if it was still beating. Her breathing was irregular and her pulse was faint.“Place her gently on the bed,” he ordered the guards who got to work immediately. “Roll her onto her side with her bottom arm extended out and her top leg bent at the knee,” he instructed.Dario turned and ran his hair in frustration and fear. He took in a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Tilt her head slightly to keep the airway open,” he instructed th

Days later, Maria’s health that was thought to improve only declined. Her health had deteriorated these past few days; she couldn’t get up from her bed as she was extremely weak. Whenever she spoke, her voice sounded weak and hoarse.The doctor had assessed her condition and they were not able to find out what exactly was wrong. When Maria was rushed to the hospital some days ago, it was determined that she collapsed due to a temporary drop in her blood sugar levels. Though she had been on several medications until now and after several tests had been taken, her blood sugar level was normal. But, the symptoms didn’t disappear and only got worse by the day.So what could be the problem?For the past three days, the doctor has had to move into the mansion for the sake of monitoring her health and being easily accessible if any emergency occurred. “Her skin is getting more pale and cold by the day,” Aisha said, her voice shaking as she caressed Maria’s hand.The doctor had just finis

“Hey mama,” Dario said, walking into Maria’s room. “Good morning, how’re you feeling today?”“Hey baby,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Her voice sounded weak. “I feel almost the same.”Another month had passed and Maria’s health had remained the same and maybe a little bit better. Though she could talk now. Nobody knew the origin or the cause of the sudden extreme fatigue.Many doctors had come from far and near to assess the situation, but a solution have not been found until now. Even traditional healers had come to do their thing, but all to no avail.It had been devastating for the entire household; Dario, Aisha, their close families and the royal workers that worked in the mansion. Maria had always been such a kind woman and an absolute sweetheart. “I’m sorry I haven’t come to say hi since morning. Got busy with matters of the empire,” Dario apologized and sat beside her on the bed. He then placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it with his thumb.Maria fl

“Listen to me… “Dario leaned in closer so he could hear her, his face etched with sorrow. “I’m listening, mama.”“There… there is something about the ring,” Maria started, her voice barely a whisper. Dario’s brows furrowed in confusion, his eyes rolling backwards as he wondered what ring she was talking about. “What ring is that, mama?”“The ring…” Marias ‘a voice was becoming more faint as she spoke and her breathing got weaker.“The ring I gave to you,.. you gave… to… Delilah,” she added. Dario’s eyes shot upwards in remembrance, “I remember, I remember. I remember the ring. Yes! Yes! What about it, mama?”“It’s special.” “Uh!”Maria took a labored breath, her lips trembling as she continued, “it’s not just any ring… it has… powers.. it is extraordinary.”Dario’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. The same ring he gave to Delilah when he married her?? The same ring Delilah threw at his face on that terrible night years ago?? “What do you mean it has powers?” Dario asked, his

Dario and Aisha stood in the royal gardens where Maria’s burial had just taken place. The air was thick with sorrow and a profound silence enveloping the area, broken by only the ruffling of leaves. Maria loved the garden. She loves flowers. Dario could remember how her face would light up when she was in the garden because it brought her so much joy. She had a gentle touch with her flowers, treating each plant as if it were a precious gem. She would hum softly to herself as she carefully pruned, watered and tended her lovely lilies and the rest. Dario knew that the best place she would love to go to rest in, would definitely be the royal garden. Close to her flowers and surrounded by them. It would also be just a walk away if he wanted to visit her in the mansion. Even Aisha knew how contagious Maria’s happiness in the garden was. Most of the time, they would often chat there and Maria would happily teach her about flowers. As Dario stared at her resting place, their memories

Except for the times he had to attend to the affairs of the empire.
