Kane

Emily looks at me through the mirror and the words come out of her mouth in such a random way as if it wasn't a big deal. I thought she would sound cold. As she should. I don't find anything to speak of and get no answer, she finishes combing her hair and then makes her way to the closet. This is when she understands the whole thing but wanted me to conclude it. I scratch the back of my head, not sure where to start.

From the day I got to know about Samuel? Well, it's been like a whole month. I don't even know how she would react.

She comes back with a pair of shorts and a top and slides her bathrobe down. Her gazes come to me for a while before she eventually looks away and finishes dressing up.

Throughout that time, I have been staring around the room with a blank head.

"It's okay, Kane", at last, she lets out a sigh and looks at me.

"What?" I exclaim.

"It's just okay", she says. "You have not uttered a single word in the last seven minutes and you're getting nervous for n

    EmilyI think I need to run. As always. The same way I have done ever since. Whenever I know I'm gonna be hit by the overwhelming emotions of a situation and it becomes really hard, I feel like changing the whole surroundings. One month to go till the supposed last trial. And I'm already getting goosebumps all over. Even though I didn't let Kane know how nervous I am, I know he's able to figure that out easily. I had to have this conversation with him. As early as possible. That I knew he had been hiding this thing from me. It was needed to make him feel better. I could have easily pretended to not know anything. But he was getting bothered the most. It's not that he wanted to hide. If he wanted, it would be easy. But he wanted to tell me and that ate him up. I found it better to make all this easy for him. Samuel, not wanting to see my face isn't new to me but every time I hear this, I can't help going back to the same spiral of dark memories and how he was separated from me only

    Ivanna"Mama, is it gonna hurt?" Chrissie asks in a low tone, half-lying on the hospital bed. There's clear fear on her face. It was not easy for me to tell her that she'll be undergoing surgery. She had no clue why we were here in the first place. We spent the first two days visiting the ranch and other places in the village and she was really enjoying it. She wanted to do so many things but it all got interrupted when the actual thing began. We told her about the surgery yesterday, after the check-up. Since then, she has been asking us questions. She's not crying or asking us to stop this. She's just making sure she can be strong enough for this. She wants to decrease her fear and measure the possibilities. I smile and sit beside her, touching her cheek gently. "No. It won't. You won't even know what's happening. The doctors will give you medicine so you don't feel any pain", I tell her. "Really?" She exclaims. "Yeah. Are you scared?" I ask.Her face drops. She looks down and r

    TheaI woke up late again. It's been like six days in the hospital and three days in the mansion since I woke up at ten. That sucks. My routine has been completely changed but I'm not minding it that much. I think I kind of needed a change.After that accident, I was dealing with frustration, and nightmares of my past and the things I have been doing. They have been taking a toll on me. I was feeling lost. But thankfully, John had been there to comfort me whenever I had any panic attacks or negative thoughts. He also called a therapist who told me that I'm going through that disorder where people go through major distress about their life and their doings. I have been having thoughts that I never had before. I didn't tell anything about my life to the therapist because there was more in my life than I could remember. And I can't risk my secrets just for a stupid post-accident disorder. I know I'll cope with that. Especially when I have Ryan and Kevin to cheer me up throughout the da

    Ivanna"What are you thinking?" Christian holds my shoulder, startling me. I flinch and look at him, a bit alarmed. "Chris! I don't think I can be there. I really don't think I'll be able to see all that. Please!""It's okay. It's fine", he touches my cheek gently. "If you don't wanna go, you don't have to"I feel so bad that I couldn't have the courage to be next to her. I'm letting her be there, alone, believing that she's much more courageous than me. It makes me feel more awful than I actually am. "Well—" Dr Decker shrugs. "In such cases with children, we always let one of the parents accompany the kids. In fact, we really don't let them. We suggest they be there. Because children are sensitive. They are used to being taken care of by their parents, like a shield and suddenly letting them go through this alone is kind of terrifying for them, no matter how courageous they are. Their brain, their sanity, it's all sensitive. Any kind of fear and trauma can be harmful to them. So—"

But well, Tiffany is there to spy on me all the time. But I'm somehow feeling better these days, after cutting off from the outer world. I was more into that world than mine."Good afternoon", John's voice comes from the door as I move my eyes from the window and look at him. My eyes open wide in shock as I find him holding a bunch of lilies. He has a wide smile on his face too. "Hey!" I exclaim. "You're kind of early today""Yeah. I wasn't feeling like working much", he says and hands me the bouquet.I happily take it. "Pretty""You still love lilies?" He asks hesitantly. "I wasn't sure if that changed because I didn't really get you flowers for a long time""I still love them", I say, looking down at them as the fragrance fills my nostrils.

    EmilyI enter the OT, wearing the essentials. Chrissie is still lying on her back and she looks extremely confused by her surroundings. I walk towards her when she has been looking at the monitor next to her. Two nurses are working beside the bed, waiting for the doctor. "Hey, beautiful!" I whisper as soon as I reach her. And her face lightens up right away."Emmy!" She excitedly whispers back. I hold her hand. "How're you doing?"She fluffs her cheeks. "Honestly? I'm scared""I know. But now you don't need to be. Since I'm here", I squeeze her hand."Why do you have that mask on?" She curiously asks. "Because it's important to put it on when I'm here", I chuckle.Suddenly, the air feels heavy when the doctor comes inside. I was indeed confident to be with Chrisanna but there's always a bit of nervousness surrounding me when I watch these children going through it. Especially when the last time I was in such a position was two years back. It's been a long time since I have been the

    ChristianAfter two hours, Chrissie woke up and was shifted back to her cabin. That's what I got to know through Emily's message when I was in a conversation with Dr Decker. As I already expected, he said he couldn't be here for a long period. But he can assign a good team to be here and he'll be looking into her case closely until the transplant is finally successful. That means Chrisanna has to stay here for a while and I'll surely want that. I don't want her to be in Texas when I don't trust Thea at all. If she gets to know about this, she'll surely try to do something and I don't want her to be near Chrisanna at any cost. Between all this, things can be a little tougher for me to handle. I can't afford to stay away from work for months when the situation of the company isn't good enough. I can't leave everything to Kane since he also has his priorities, be it the lawsuit against Damien or Emily's pregnancy. Nor can I afford to be away from Chrissie. I wanna be there for her. I

I still don't know how things are gonna shape up once I move back to Texas. However, Ivanna is right. I don't have anything to be scared of right now. I don't have any weaknesses which Thea can use against us anymore. I don't need her. Our daughter doesn't need her. That's one of the biggest satisfactions I have ever felt.

The last thing will be saying goodbye to Chrissie. I was feeling so guilty about all of it but now since I have believed that I'm doing all this only for her, I don't feel guilty anymore.

    JohnGetting married in the 50s isn't that strange anymore. But for me, it was— for a man who believed his marriage would last forever and then believed he would never marry again. I stood before the mirror as Ryan helped other groomsmen with their last fit."You all look pretty handsome. Ready to leave. But I wish Kevin had that time to get a good fit. Your suit sucks!""I feel better anyway", Kevin snarls. I chuckle while fixing my bow tie, watching my sons in their 20s still fighting like toddlers. It's been a blessing for me to have a family which didn't break even after the biggest disaster. And maybe it was because, in our family, it had always been us. Me and my two boys. Their mother wasn't there. The death was just a formality. I didn't really change that much. My boys were happier than ever after she died. It's really mean of me to think that way but it was the truth. They were traumatised because they were kids. As they grew up, I realised they had a better and healthier

This feeling would not be the same if we got married before Emery came. Ryan and Kevin walk beside me to the aisle. I wanted them to do this honour because if there's anyone in this world I still love more than Sebastian and Emery, My eyes become teary as I walk to them.

    TiffanyI can't figure out how to react and what it's all about because I don't wanna assume anything unreasonable. He's on his knees with a damn ring.It means— God! I can't— comprehend it. My eyes flutter open at his handsome face. No words come out of my mouth. I'm at a loss of words."I know you're shocked! And I'm sorry if I scared you with this sudden—" he doesn't complete, yet keeps his eyes straight into mine. "But I couldn't keep this longer inside me, Tiffany. I had known a long time ago that I needed you in my life. Forever! And I'm not scared to ask you that—"With that pause, my heartbeat stops and my entire body shivers when I wait for him to complete."Will you marry me?" I feel goosebumps littering all over me with those words. Did he really ask me for marriage? It takes me a while to process. His eyes are full of fear and hope and I'm left in shock. Never in my wildest dreams, I had imagined he would propose to me. I hear some people around cheering up and root

I started my job in the daycare centre with all the lovely kids around which made my life less monotonous after Ryan and Kevin left. They are doing good in their new school and John has also settled into his new office over there. I and Sebastian balanced our life beautifully, supporting each other. As days and weeks passed, our love grew stronger. Among everything, I was happy with the fact that I have my identity now. A good identity. My salary doubled in just three months after joining for my good service and the way all the kids related to me. In a year, I was promoted to manager of the daycare centre, life couldn't be any less beautiful. It's been two years, I and Sebastian are together and we are living our best life.

If everything goes well, I'll be here in less than three days.John has finished all the preparations in Hong Kong and he's leaving the day after we decided to move in. It all happened so fast but I'm glad that John is recovering. It's been eight months since the tragedy and I know it's gonna take years for him to overcome this. I'm happy for him but I would be happier if there was any chance that he finds someone to love him as much as all of us found a person to love.It sucks and I hate the fact that all his life he never found someone like that.I and Sebastian carry the portrayal I had in my room for years. It's a huge one and Sebastian suggested we should place it in the living room because it's beautiful.

"Isn't it something to be excited about?" I blurt out. "She's moving in with me. Isn't it amazing? People can't even go past dating and we are really moving in!" I tell her and she smiles wider, sitting in front of my desk."That's true", she says. "I'm just wondering what you would do once you guys announce the marriage!" she laughs but on a serious note, it makes my heart stop for a while.She pauses, looking at me. "Sorry. I should not have said that?"I chuckle. "Nah! Nothing like that. I just spaced out when you talked about marriage""Ah! So, that means you're thinking about it", she leans to the desk. I scratch the back of my head with an awkward smile. "I could marry her the moment I saw her! But hell! I'm not repeating any mistakes from the past.

    Tiffany We stop by the nursery. It's one of the biggest nurseries in the city which I can completely believe by the way it looks. The boys run into the green surrounding and I and Sebastian slowly walk to see the plants. One of the workers accompany us, showing us all the kinds of plants we could use for decor. "I want the real ones", he says as I scan those plants which need no sunlight. They would be perfect for indoors."These are real ones too. These are just indoors", I say, watching his expression change. "But I still don't find the realness in them. You can take these. I'll look for others", he walks away to find his REAL plants as I shake my head at him in disbelief.We load all the plants we have got for the decor and Ryan and Kevin took two small ones to plant in the yard. Even though they won't be staying here, they wish to see it all grown up when they would occasionally visit. After that, we stop by a restaurant to have lunch.

Nonetheless, it'll come with more challenges and I'm ready for it. This decision will not only make our relationship stronger but also give me a world of my own. I can't wait to finally live my life in my own conditions and happiness. Sebastian asked me if he could help me anyway. But I refused to take any help from him as I did with John. It's my call to explore and look for opportunities which I'll be doing from today. I'm thinking about having a conversation with John again.
