Stefan comes out of the car so does Klaus . their mother then comes out of the car Klaus goes to open the door from Caroline's side at the same time when Stefan goes They both share a awkward glance Stefan thinks that he is his best friend that is why he is so overprotective while Klaus thinks that how he will cope up with all these , How will he be able to see his love with his own brother?. Stefan opens the door and offers her hand she takes it hesitatingly then comes out of the car. She tries to adjust herself but then suddenly Stefan slightly kneels down and picks her up in bridal style and walks towards the apartment Caroline is continuously staring at his beautiful face in shock,care,excitement,passion or sadness as well.
Stefan notices that she is staring at her and says "Finally, after a long time you are comfortably staring at me " Caroline is puzzled Stefan continues "Don't panic!"
Caroline says "Put me down,Stefan" Stefan shakes his head "its a ritual to bring bride inside the home like this " Caroline speaks rudely "I don't care about these freaking rituals " Stefan looks shocked this time as she was so blunt "Why?.. Why are you changed?" Caroline smirks and utters "as if you know how was i in the past?"
Stefan feels sad and says "i don't know how were you in the past...but i can guess that you were loving,caring,exciting,talkative,clear as crystal" Caroline is lost in his beautiful words for her
Stefan says "but now you're like the one who doesn't love , who doesn't care , who doesn't get excited , who doesn't talk who is totally mysterious ... but you know what i know its not the real you and i would prefer the real you with me ,Caroline ... Can you do me this favor by being the real you and sharing the problem you have with me or anything else that is responsible for you being not the real Caroline"
Caroline sees the questioning eyes of him and her mouth is like juggling with words but isn't able to tell but she then makes her face straight and blunt , states "Put me down, Stefan.. we have reached the door" Stefan looks angry at the same time sad and disappointed Aroma and Mrs Salvatore including Klaus and Elena have reached before the bride and groom so decorated the door and house Stefan and Caroline standing in the middle of the doorway
Aroma says "so come, Mr and Mrs Stefan Salvatore.. we all wish you happy married life" then Klaus closes the lights and they all enjoys the soothing decorations with candles, roses, balloons and other stuff. Caroline smirks so does Stefan and it is clearly shown that its all fake smirking happening. Aroma teases "so Stefan, in case you can't wait to go Melbourne this second to have your first night with your bride i have already prepared your room... boom ! Enjoy you night " she winks and smirks Caroline looks so nervous . Stefan offers her hand to take her towards the room she takes it with nervousness spread all over her face.
Stefan and Caroline comes inside the room they see the room is decorated with Red and White roses their bed is surrounded by white net curtains while the bed sheet is white as well with red frill and self thread embroidery on corners . The side tables have beautiful flower bouquet with candles their dressing tables is also decorated with candles and flower petals . Red Roses petals are spread on their bed as well giving such a romantic and pleasing look. Front small table has chocolates and champagne. Caroline looks blank so does Stefan. Stefan hesitatingly closes the door while she feels shivers in her body
Stefan takes off his coat while Caroline is standing still in one place without saying even a word. Stefan takes off his tie as well and sits on the couch right in front of window and starts relaxing. Caroline is breathing so hard. she goes to check the cupboard which has only important clothes hanging there as tomorrow they have flight for Melbourne. All she sees in cupboard is black sexy night dress and casual silk gown may be Aroma put the silk gown for morning and night dress for their wedding night She looks super confused She looks at Stefan who looks tired and tensed looking outside the window to moon
Caroline comes to him and stands beside him , starts playing with her ring by revolving it around her finger in hesitation and awkwardness. Stefan realizes this and stands up sees Caroline tensed , asks"what happened?" Caroline tries to explain him in a very odd way "look ..um i was .. i saw the clothes ,, i mean ..just get it please" Stefan looks irritated and says "speak properly without nervousness"
Caroline takes a deep breath and says "i need clothes.." Stefan says "contact the cupboard" Caroline looks pissed "I have already checked that , i need some better clothes" Stefan understands what she means and says "Oky i will go get your bag" Caroline nods
Stefan comes and give the bag to Caroline , Caroline takes off a knee length soft cotton casual frock and goes to change . she comes out and Stefan looks at her then he comes near her while she steps back again and again Finally Stefan pins her to the wall "don't worry, i won't touch you until i am so clear and true to you about my life" Caroline understands that he is talking about betrayal but she tries to act like unaware and says "when will you be clear to me? .." Stefan looks down in disappointment and says "May be tomorrow .. look Caroline i can't be like normal loving , caring type husband.. i have reason i will tell you i know you will be so pissed but i have to .. you deserve to know the truth but i am sorry i can't fulfill your dream of wanting a loving husband ..like you know"
Caroline interrupts and says " Look Stefan, i married you because my mother is dying i didn't want her to suffer in this stage of her life i want her to be happy .. so i have no problem with you being ignorant or whatever .. but i want to say i will be with you till my mother is alive .. after she is gone its depend on you if you want to divorce me or not.." she speaks bluntly
Stefan looks shocked "so do you like someone else , Caroline...? and why ? i have been engaged to you since you were 15 and till previous year when Aroma visited you she told me you were excited for marriage now what? .."
Caroline replies by keeping him away and going towards bed "I don't love someone else , i just don't like you! that is it! you don't need to know the reasons... and previous Caroline is gone stop talking about her ...and i know you are nervous about physical relation i don't want that .. just wait till my mother is alive after her you can choose you path ,, i won't force you stay with me .."
she takes a pillow and lays on the bed closes her eyes and sleeps while Stefan is shocked as she said some unusual things which is like puzzle to him he keeps thinking about these all . he thinks "why doesn't she like me ? what changed in this year as she was so excited about marriage last year? why is she saying that i can give divorce to her after her mother is gone? why did she marry me only for her mother? why her eyes are filled with hate for me ? WHY?
