Chapter 12 : (Niklaus)
He couldn't have felt more heartbroken than he was feeling now. How could this have happened? He finally had it all planned out..Everything was just as it was supposed to be...Then what had gone wrong? ...But more importantly the question nagging him was ... "Why? " Why had all of this happened? Why was HEalways the one to suffer...Why did it have to be him?
Last night he had been absolutely positive that Tatia would come. There was no doubt she'd turn up after he had rationally reasoned with her..and why wouldn't she? She HADtold him she loved him...And there was nothing stopping her now...
However what he was unaware of was that Tatia had someone else occupying her time last night and this time...it was the other Mikaelson who had managed to win her over...or maybe not...
After their brief exchange , Niklaus had shortly left the feast to see Qetsiyah. He wanted to have a look at his little angel and convince Esther to hand her over to him for a little while.
He had conveniently found her present there too just as he had arrived at Qetsiyah's hideout.
"Mother! I was expecting to find you here". He decided to come straight to the point as he was quite impatient and restless to meet Tatia again. "I learnt about her", he said motioning towards Qetsiyah.
"Tatia told me. You shouldn't have kept me in the dark. I had the right to know about my own daughter"
"I was going to let you know eventually...when all was well again between you and Mikael. I didnt want to complicate things and worsen the situation even more..I hope you understand Niklaus...Everything I do …..is for the betterment …for the good of our family...I just want us to live happily again..Is that too much to ask?"
"It is not..",he said.
Niklaus held Qetsiyah up and cuddled her. She was beautiful. She had the same powerful , bold blue eyes like him and a tuft of blond was a truly pretty baby... he had Tatia and...probably himself to thank for that.
He smiled as he thought of that...
"I would like to take my little child for a walk. Just for sometime.I promise I'll bring her back soon.. if only you allow me to."
"Alright. But don't wander about for long. Not many people know about her Niklaus and I want it to remain that way..."
And with that he had taken her and waited and waited and waited... for Tatia..He had also planned their great escape but Alas! .. she didn't come...
He had hoped that she would . But after what felt like an eternity of wanting and waiting and still not losing that flicker of hope still burning inside of him, he finally decided to let it go...
Because when you love someone, sometimes its best to let them go...
