Soon, Merope became regular in giving love potions to him and spent a lot of time with him.

"Tom, I would like to say something"

"What my ,dear" said Tom gently

"Sh..shou..shouldn't we get married by now" asked Merope

Tom paused for a moment and then said, " I think you are right. WE should get married. Meet me at the church tomorrow. I'll wait for you"

"OK, Tom" said Merope excitedly

The following day, they met at  the church, exchanged vows and got married. They both were so happy.

"I am most luckiest girl on this earth, Tom" said Merope happily.

Merope continued to give him the potion. The time passed unknowingly...

6 months later,

"Tom,TOm"

"Yes, Merope dear"

"Oh! I am so glad. I am going to have a baby"

"WHAT?? I...I a...m...am going to be a father. Thank you for this wonderful gift" , said Tom excitedly

" I think I should stop giving him love potion.... Maybe, he fell in love with me.......",whispered Merope

But Merope was wrong in her decision. It turned out to be a disaster.

"You girl... liiar.... YOU PUT ME IN A TRAP AND MARRIED ME...HOW CRUEL YOU ARE,GIRL!!!!!! I CANT...T..T BELIEVE THAT I LEFT MY HOME FOR YOU....FOR YOU.... OH MY GOD!!!
