The wedding feast was arranged in a large glass house back in the courtyard of the palace. Yul and Thamina toasted to the guests and made sure everything was going smoothly. Just then Yul saw Liya walking towards the backyard at a distance. He had sent her to take rest and now she was running around the palace as if searching for something. Naturally it arouses suspicion and Yul had to leave the feast to go after her.
Liya had enquired about Inu to all the servants she had seen. But no one clearly knew about her son's whereabouts. She had no phone to call for Ginny either. Someone had informed her that a lady and child were seen going in the orchard's direction and Liya was following that path to fetch Inu.
As Liya didn't know the way to the orchard she was looking around as she followed the path told to her. At a distance, under some big tree, she finally spotted Inu and Ginny. Inu was picking something from the ground and putting it into a small jar. Liya let out a sigh in relief. All kinds of fear were running through her all this time. Now that she finally saw him, Liya walked towards Inu as fast as she could.
Yul was going to call Liya to ask her stop when she increased her pace. Yul also followed her quickly to find where she was going, only to spot Inu at a distance. "What was I even expecting?" Yul said to himself in guilt when he realized what Liya was up to. He slowed down and walked upto them.
Ginny saw Liya coming and stood up. Inu was still concentrated on picking up the small marble candies that had fallen out of the jar into the ground.
"Sorry for the trouble, Ginny. I will surely repay this favour." Liya said gratefully.
"It was not at all a trouble ma'am. Inu is well behaved. We just walked around the palace and then came to sit here. He was very obedient all the way. And we even talked about Inu's favourite things." Ginny replied.
Hearing his mother, Inu had already stopped what he was doing. He was waiting for his mother to take him back but he also wanted to put all the candies back into the jar. He called for her, "Mom, shall we go back?"
"Sure dear…" Liya replied to Inu.
"He must have liked you, if he talked about his favourite things. He rarely talks to others, you know." Liya then said to Ginny.
Ginny smiled at Inu on hearing that and said to Inu, "I knew for sure that we would get bonded. We are friends now, aren't we?" Inu nodded at Ginny in agreement.
Liya was glad to see Inu in a better mood after several days. He was really scared and exhausted because of what was happening in the last few days. Ginny surely had a positive charm with her. Liya again thanked Ginny for making Inu feel better.
"You are here! I was looking for you." Yul told a lie as he reached the trio.
All three looked at Yul in surprise on hearing him. Ginny bowed in respect and said, "Then I shall make a move. See you later, Inu." And she walked back in the direction of palace.
"I had sent you to take rest. Then what are you doing here?" Yul questioned Liya although he knew the answer already.
"I had to get Inu. Ginny was doing a favour for me, couldn't trouble her more." Liya replied.
"Everyone would like to meet Inu. So you two better come with me before they start asking about you." Yul said.
Liya nodded her head as an answer and went to pick Inu. He was still standing with the opened candy jar, waiting for her permission to pick the rest before they leave. Liya couldn't care about that anymore and tried to pick Inu up. But her skirt was getting in the way. She tried to hold her heavy skirt with her left hand and then tried to pick up Inu with her right. But it was still hard for her to pick Inu up, especially with only one hand.
Seeing her struggle, Yul held Liya's hand and made her stand back. "Let me." He said.
Liya stepped back as it couldn't be helped. But as Yul bend to pick up Inu, he moved two steps back in fear.
Seeing that Yul knelt down on one knee and said to Inu, "Don't be afraid Inu. Didn't mom tell you that I am your dad? Dad would never hurt Inu..." As Yul spoke the last part he looked at Liya to know if she actually hadn't told Inu what they had agreed upon.
Liya stepped in seeing Yul's question. She said, "Inu, don't you remember what momma told you? Dad is actually bringing us back home. So be a good boy and go to dad…"
Inu looked at Liya in doubt and sadness. It was obvious that he didn't want to go to his dad's hand.
Seeing his hesitation Yul knelt down on both his knees as if to apologize. Liya doubted if he really would apologize, on seeing Yul kneel down. He wouldn't actually do that after all for the people here everything was her fault, Liya thought to herself.
But unexpectedly Yul said, "I am sorry Inu. Dad is sorry to have scared Inu and mom back home. Can't Inu forgive dad once? Dad will make it upto Inu and mom for the rest of your lives. I promise. So can Inu please forgive dad?"
Liya was flabbergasted by what she just heard. What a seasoned actor he was. It was even without any chance for doubting, he conveyed his fatherly affection. She was also really taken back by his shamelessness to call himself dad out of nowhere in front a kid, he barely knew. The Amaroks were really something.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Yul asked Liya who was still in shock. He would really use some help from her right now.
Liya looked at Yul on hearing that but didn't want to lie to her son so blatantly again. But Yul was persistent. On seeing him again signal her to speak, she said to Inu half-heartedly, "Isn't my boy kind….? Momma has told you to forgive people, who apologize, haven't I? Let's forgive dad, shall we? Inu… what do you say?"
