Rosa's lips which were in ‘o’ shape now turn a wide smile. It’s a very unexpected thing because her sister had been married for ten years and had declared that she will never have a child. Besides that, her sister is almost in her forties, what makes her change her mind suddenly?
Then she looks at her chubby baby, is it because of Damia? Playing and take care of her baby makes Olivia want a baby too? Rosa chuckles quietly. Her face immediately turns softer. She can’t compare her life with her half-sister. Olivia has a great husband. She believes that William will be a great father.
“Congratulation!” Rosa congrats them sincerely.
Her face shines happily. She is very happy. She doesn’t have relatives. Before she got married, she only has her mother. Her mother grows up in an orphanage and when her mother thought that she finally found the one she loves and go
The news of Rosa's half-sister's pregnancy making her too excited and can’t sleep. She already washes and changed into pajamas. She left her baby in the crib and sit in the dining room with her laptops on the dining table. She opens her old email and saw there were about twenty unread emails. All unread sender name is the same person, Laila, her best friend. She scrolled down to open the late date of unread emails. While she was reading and looking at many pictures on each email, her face had a soft smile face. Sometimes her eyes turn red, and sometimes her tears fall silently. However, she still has a soft smile on her face. The picture and the text of the email are all regarding her son, Raul. Laila updates every day about Raul in the email. It's like Laila makes a diary for her to read her son's activities. Raul will turn five years old soon, Rosa could see Raul had looks matured than before.&n
She shakes her head before she also fully bewitches with his handsomeness. She had to look up and almost hurt her neck if he was too near to her. So she takes a step behind to look at Louis in a comfortable position.“Nothing serious. I just feel… a bad feeling.”“Is there something that I can help with?” Louis gestures her to sit and after she had sat, he also sits beside her.“You were just happy a few hours before. How can you suddenly look unhappy?” Louis clearly wants her to talk more. Rosa bites her lower lips. A little bit hesitates. She never forgot that Louis had feelings for her, but Louis didn’t try to flirt with her or show a hint of his feelings to her anymore since she had warned him about her situation and feelings. He didn’t show it to her but she did feel that sometimes Louis will silently look at he
“Am I late?”“No.” Jess answer while still looking at the handsome man.“Baby! Aunt Olivia will come and play with you. Make sure be good okay!”“Mammaa!!!” Her baby seems to know that Rosa will leave her behind but she didn’t cry.“Mmuah! Muah!” Her baby gives her loud kisses several times. Sophia, one of the staff in the cafe, was the one to teach her baby to kiss with such a loud sound. Rosa chuckles a little bit. After that, she gives Damia back in Louis's arms. Before she could say anything, suddenly a big hand approach her face. The big hand smoothly comb her messy front hair to the back of her ear and put a blue-black cap on top of her.“Wear this. Your hair might block your view while you were climbing hills.” Rosa blinks her eyes several times before she could recover from his sudden acts. Her heart was beatin
“Only friend? Your baby seems to be very comfortable with him.” Jess said. Trying to dig something from Rosa. She continues. “And I don’t think a simple friend can make you be trusted enough to let him taking care of Damia.” “He loves kids and Damia really likes him.” Rosa blurt out but then she realized that Jess had clearly said a simple friend is not enough explanation for her to trust Louis so much. Rosa furrowed her thin brows. How many years had she and Louis know each other? No. Not years! They only know each other for four months but why does it feel like they had to know each other for years? Yes. And since when did she develop such trust in Louis? “I want to go back.” Rosa said. “Hey. No. Nope. We are not going back! I already planned many activities for us!” Jess immediately regrets asking such questions and immediately. “Besides, my eyes can’t lie to me. I know he is a good guy. He is a ver
Louis and Damia were having a great time playing in the playground for babies. Even Louis was not sure how many hours he had to extend again and again. Of course, they sometimes stop for few minutes as Damia needs to eat and change her diapers. But they both have a lot of energy. Sometimes, Louis also snaps Damia’s pictures. Before Rosa’s moved into this country, Louis never cares to upgrade his smartphone. However, since Damia live in his house, he can’t help himself from captured many pictures of Damia. Since then, he very particular about buying a new phone with the best camera function. While they were having a great day without Rosa near them, Jess was finally able to distract Rosa from thinking about her daughter. However, what could distract her is by talking about their work. Rosa really loves to work. Jess make up some problems that happen in her flower shops and Rosa didn’t doubt any of her ‘make-up’ pro
After three hours of climbing with several stops to take some rest, they finally arrived at the top of the hill. Jess and Cooper seem to be very close. Rosa could see there was something pink aura between them but mostly they only pranking each other. “Here. Have some drink.” Cooper gives Jess a bottle to drink. Jess is too tired after the walk for about one hour without rest. She didn’t refuse Cooper's offers. She takes the bottle from Cooper's hand and drinks it. Before that, Rosa saw Cooper pick up a small black lizard and put it on the bottle. Cooper puts his finger on his lips to asks her to be quiet and sneakily offers the drink to Jess. As soon she gulps twice, the black lizard crawl slowly around the bottle. Jess's eyes suddenly widen and immediately throws the bottle away. “Aaaaaaaah!” She shouts out loud. Cooper laughed out loud right after he saw
Jess’s group started to take pictures together and snaps many pictures of the scenery. Other than admiring the scenery, the tour guide also explains and describes the types of trees around here. “Can you see that tall and thin trees over there?” The tour guide pointed at trees that are tall like he said. “It’s called Karri trees. Its height is almost one hundred meters and they are three hundred years old. The scientist also declares that Karri trees are the tallest trees in the world.” Everyone starts to take pictures when the tour guide told them that the trees are the tallest in the world. Rosa is not sure why she feels funny about it, but she also takes out her mobile phone and snaps the picture. She will tell her baby girl that, these are the tallest trees in the world! “Besides that, the leaves have a good remedy for healing wounds, colds, allergic, respiratory disorder, and many more.” &nbs
They played the ‘I Never Have I Ever’ for more than one hour and the one who last pointing their finger down is Austin. Everyone tried hard to make Austin finger down but every naughty question such as ‘I Never Have I Ever smokes, doing something secretly behind parents, broke someone heart, cursed someone, sexting, kiss older male or female,’ and other common things can happen to a person are still not making his finger down. His wife even doubts her husband's boring life. Who didn’t do this in their life? She even fights with him and told him that he was cheating. However, Cooper said that Austin is a well-behaved person since he was a little boy. Everyone looks at his big body which looks strong and fierce. There is an idiom said that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Even though he is big, he is just a good boy. After they had done playing games and singing together
They play until sunset, the length of the beach and their rented chalet is not far but Damia seems to be very tired of playing with the sand. She falls asleep in Rosa's arms after a few steps. Louis holding a lot of things in his hands. He follows Rosa's small steps one by one. Usually, he doesn't like to walk with shorter people than him, it is because his neck sore from looking down. Sometimes it makes him feel dizzy. But, he never felt that kind of thing when he looks down to see Rosa. He even likes how small Rosa is. If he can he wanted her to be small as his palm so that he can put her in his pocket and bring her everywhere he wants. When they arrived at their chalet, Rosa give a quick shower for Damia and change into clean clothes. They ate before returning to the chalet, so, Rosa let her sleep again after her daughter wear the clothes. After making sure Damia slept deeply
After a few hours, the temperature drops a little, Louis walk along with Rosa and Damia towards the beach. The sand here is so fine, it didn't feel the heat like regular sand which makes people doesn't hesitate to walk barefoot along the beach in hot weather. The wide ocean is blue and clear. You can see many small fish swimming around and you could also see corals and plants over it. There are people swimming in the water, snorkeling along the reefs, and laying lazily on the sand while admiring the view of this beautiful nature. It's Damia's first time visiting such a place, when Damia put her down, she was so scared when her leg touch the soft sand. She screams and quickly curls her leg on Rosa. Its their first time seeing Damia refusing on doing something, usually, Damia love to explore things that she doesn't know. Rosa and Louis couldn't help but laugh at Damia's reaction. Louis and
The Guilty Pleasure Cafe had five branches and all of the cafe become famous as it is. Jessica's business also started to become popular after so many up and down that they had to face. Just at a glimpse, it is already a year of the day Rosa lives in this country. Damia also had turned one and a half years old girl. She can pronounce many words and understand more words when someone talks to her. Damia also seems to love learning so much. She will always pinpoint something that she was curious about and will only be satisfied when she understands it fully. The most patient to explain to her is Louis. Even sometimes Damia doesn't need to ask and Louis already shows her something and explains it to her patiently. He seems to be very happy doing it and very happy whenever Damia remembers all his teaching. Rosa and Louis also had become much closer. They are not awkward with each other now and
After two more days, the doctor finally discharge them after he had confirmed Damia didn't suffer any serious virus. When they return to their house, Damia was running around in the house and giggling all the way. She looks like a little duckling that was very happy finally to return to her comfort nest. Rosa has a smile on her face watching Damia running and Louis following behind her daughter. It was lunchtime, so, Rosa immediately enter the kitchen and started to cook for them. After half an hour, Rosa serve the table and call them to eat together. The awkwardness between Rosa and Louis had finally gone. The days they were in the hospital, taking turns to take care of Damia had made Rosa able to treat Louis like normal again. However, Louis notices something different from the way Rosa has treated him for these few days. She seems to be gentler when talking to him. He also notice that Rosa had a gentle
It didn't take a long time for Louis to return and bring food for Rosa. Damia is sleeping in Rosa's arms. She seems to be very clingy even though she was sleeping. Her face was still frowning feeling uncomfortable, her little hand was holding tightly to Rosa's dress. Rosa can't help but has to accept Louis's offer to feed her. She was quite hungry and her daughter will need to have her milk, so, she have to eat no matter what. She was frowning whenever she have to open her mouth and let Louis feed her but she can't hide her face that has turned red from embarrassment. She is a tough and independent woman, she never had someone else feeding her like this. This is humiliating to her, but for her baby, she tries her best to accept it. Louis knows Rosa is embarrassed but he can't help but feel happy to feed her. Rosa's face that was blushing makes him become bolder to lean closer and f
The registration and admission into the private's rooms are smooth and quick. When Damia was being inserted the needle into her hands, Rosa and Louis were being chased out of the room. Damia who was sick become stickier with her mommy. As soon her mommy left her with the nurses, Damia cry loudly. It’s making Rosa and Louis's hearts ache even more. Louis feels the worst and he even refused to get out of the room, making Rosa have no choice but to pull him out of the room. Rosa can’t help but laugh inside, Louis acts more like Damia's parents than she did. “Louis. Calm down. The nurses know what they need to do.” Rosa pushes Louis and forces him to sit on nearby sofas. “Waaaaaa!” Louis and Rosa turn their head toward the private room at the same time. The room is a very high-quality room, but they still could hear Damia crying from here. This time, Rosa couldn’t hold Louis anymor
The next morning, Rosa open her eyes feeling hot in her arms. She could feel heavy and a burning sensation from her arms. It makes her wake up in alert. When she opened her eyes, the person who is hot and heavy is her baby girl. “Mia?” Rosa was panic after she saw her baby's face was red and she was shivering too. Her baby was still asleep. Obviously, she was in discomfort because Damia was frowning discomfort. However, the baby didn’t cry at all. When Rosa checks her temperature with her hand, her heart immediately jumps in panic. She quickly wraps her baby with a blanket. Even though her baby's temperature was hot, her baby was shivering from the cold. Rosa didn’t waste her time. She quickly changes her baby's diapers, changes into thicker clothes, and sticks a fever cooling pad on her baby's forehead. She always makes sure to have backup medicine for her baby. She
Rosa always takes seriously when she was doing her work. As soon she starts to do her work, all her complicated thoughts and feelings gone. She didn’t even realize Louis and Damia had already hung out in the living room with her. Louis put his finger on his lips, making a gesture to keep silent because Rosa was working. Damia understands that gesture and nods without stopping. She just learned how to nod and shake her head to answer some questions from adults. Today Damia didn’t take naps like usual, so, she was quite sleepy right now. She had not been coming to the café for a week and she was very excited when she finally enter the café. He greets the workers and the customer without any sign of fatigue. She just has a nice bath with her mother and was fed a delicious meal by Louis. She is in a very comfortable state. Her body is clean and her tummy is full, now her eyes are heavy. She was leaning
Rosa pretends to not see Louis when she walks to the first floor. Damia seems to understand that it is not time to said any words that related to Louis, so she could only look at Louis from her mother's arms. It’s been three days since she didn’t get to play with Louis. So, she was missing Louis so much. However, her mother's mood is first. She must make sure her mommy is happy or she will not have her mommy milk anymore. There are a lot of works that need to be settle as she had been taking off and emergency leave for almost a week. She packs several documents to bring to her rent house. Since the boss of the café is Louis and he is also her housemate, she had been making the café like hers. She brings out the documents and invoice that needs to be checked and put it all on the box. Then she called Zack to help her to send the box to her rent house. Seeing that Louis was
