Sebastian immediately brushes it off.

"No", he exclaims. "You know I would never ask you to do that. I know they mean a lot to you", he says with much honesty in his voice and I know that he's not saying this only to keep things normal.

I let out a sigh. He's somehow right. If Ryan and Kevin were my kids, my biological kids, it wouldn't matter. We would all stay together and even now if I can do it, I'll surely do it. However, it'll be really cruel to John because he has only his children and I have no right over them— at least more than John.

Sebastian holds my hand and kisses it, getting closer to me. "I would never ask you to do anything which takes your smile away, baby"

I half-smile and it makes me feel blessed, yet guilty for some reason. He makes sure I'm happy and I'm not compromising my happiness. On the other hand, what am I doing for him?

Clearly, nothing. I'm just letting him compromise and wait for me. It all looks so one-sided.

    Tiffany He repeats and I'm still having a hard time believing my ears. That was so abrupt and unexpected. I was not ready for it. It would be an understatement if I say I didn't imagine this. He snuggles into my neck as I squirm against him, feeling his lips against my skin.I'm so thankful that we're not looking into each other's eyes now because I'm so damn nervous to look at him. "It's been a long time since I felt like this for you. But I wasn't sure if you would trust me. It would be too fast for you. And I wanted to give us some time before confessing my love", with his soft tone, I feel the heat producing all over my body. "I know it's still too fast. We've been dating for six months. You can take as much time as you can and you don't have to be forced to say it. I'll wait. It's just that I wanted to express it to you"I don't reply and close my eyes tightly, feeling his heart beating against me as the smile remains on my face. However, I feel like he's getting tense after

    Tiffany "Urgent?" I mutter.It's been months since John has barely talked to me. Yes, he doesn't talk to me or anyone like before. It's all about, did kids eat? , did they sleep? are they doing well? , do they tell you something they don't tell me? 'That's all we talk about and I have barely seen him smiling. When he's with the boys, he genuinely smiles for them and he's always available for them, unlike before. It seems like he's trying to fill a void. "Yeah. It's sort of", he shrugs his shoulders and I put my handbag aside."You were at Sebastian's last night?" he asks."Yeah", I smile. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before leaving. He kind of insisted and it's been a while since you know— we hanged out""I know. I know", he says, sitting on the couch and I sit across from him. "You had to give all your time and attention to the kids and you literally forgot you have a life too"He looks up at me. There's nothing but helplessness in his eyes. He's completely shattered from the insi

    Ivanna "Oh, my God! Someone donated a million dollars to our go-fund-me page", Nora screams at the top of her lungs, running across the reception with her hand raised in the air, holding the phone. She halts in front of me as all the eyes around us enlarge in surprise."A million dollars? Seriously?" I exclaim."Yeah!" she buffs. "It better not be Christian", I seethe, snatching the phone from her and looking at the donor's information. Thankfully, it's not Christian!"It won't be him", Ellen says. "He respects your capabilities the most"A small grin curves on my face. "I know. But recently, he was kind of worried about me. And he offered help like ten times. I wouldn't be surprised if he did it""But the best part is we got it!" Nora cheers with everyone clapping along. "It's some elderly businessman. He's suffering from a rare disease, and doesn't have any kids so he's donating money wherever he can", Alexia says from her desk, immediately taking out the information of the donor

    Emily "Saaamuel!" Chrisanna waves at us, while walking toward our car after hopping down from hers. Samuel looks up at me, frowning as if asking me why I called her. He looks so annoyed but I know this is gonna disappear soon. He gets annoyed by her at first but then all his annoyance vanishes in thin air. "Hi!" Chrisanna halts near us with a big smile on her face. However, Samuel doesn't reply."Hi, Samuel!" Chrisanna rolls her eyes."Hi", he finally utters with that dead reaction."Oh. I forgot you're a grumpy kid!" she crosses her arms."Chrissie!" Ivanna lightly smacks her shoulder."Sorry!" Chrisanna crinkles her nose, looking up at her.I chuckle. "Let it be. This is just usual banters""Banters suit when it's from both sides", Ivanna says. "If Samuel is being polite, you should too", she tells Chrissie."Okay!" she groans."Okay, then!"

    Author's POVChrisanna smiles at him and her eyes drift down to his legs while he swings them, sitting on the countertop. She imitates him, swinging her legs in sync with him. He notices that and looks at her. She giggles at him as if she's caught in doing something which makes him smile right away. He looks down and increases his pace and Chrisanna immediately catches up with it. Soon, they start giggling audibly, enjoying the little fun until Samuel gets back to his regular mood, yet being content and keeping a smile on. "Your smile is like a shooting star", Chrisanna says, rolling her eyes."Shooting star?""Yep. We don't see it more often", she says innocently. "But it's beautiful"He stares at her for a couple of seconds before smiling back. "Thank you""You're welcome", she beams, tilting her head."Why are you here?" he asks. "Because I want to give you this yummy pudding", she says, holding it towards him. "I don't like it. You can eat this one""Hawww!" her eyes enlarge.

    Tiffany "So, John is adamant about this? I mean about shifting to a different city?" Sebastian asks from the other end of the call as I stay silent, lying on the bed and looking up at the ceiling.Sebastian doesn't urge me to reply right away and waits for me to respond.I let out a deep sigh and clear my throat. "He's not adamant but he has a good reason. Ryan has nightmares every night. Both the kids are unable to move on from this tragedy. They need a change in environment and it'll be good for them if they move somewhere with no memory of their mother", I tell him the exact things John had told me about his decision.I have been thinking about this matter the whole day and it kept bugging me. I couldn't do anything right. It kept ringing inside my head and I thought of calling John right away and asking him to drop this idea. But I also understand that his reasons are valid. "And what do you feel about it?" Sebastian asks. I don't know how I'm going to express all these things

    Tiffany I didn't think I would get to see John this morning since he used to leave even before sunrise and sometimes we wouldn't even know he had come back. It's nine of the morning and he's still in the mansion. Ryan and Kevin don't have school today. I peeked into their room and found them sleeping. Maybe, it's a good opportunity to talk to him right now. John is quietly having his breakfast when I take my seat in front of him. He looks up at me with a half-smile."Good morning!" he says."Good morning", I mutter. "That's surprising. You're still at home today?""Well, yeah, actually!" he clears his throat. "I thought you might want to talk to me""Literally!" I say, forcing a smile and serving my breakfast. We quietly continue to gobble the food in silence for a while before I eventually break it. "I didn't think much about the matter last night", I tell him and he looks up at me, halting for a second."I didn't ask you to rush. It's okay. Take your time", he tells me. "No", I

    Tiffany Sebastian halts with the leftover stuffed into his mouth as he looks down at me, a bit surprised. "Are they?" swallowing the lump, he asks to be sure, I guess. I nod. "Yeah. I talked to him this morning and told him that I agree with him and I don't have any problem if they leave the city!"He just blinks a couple of times as if he's confused and no words escape his mouth."Why do you look so confused?" I mutter."Nah. I'm not confused", he gives me a half-smile. "I just didn't expect you to conclude this matter so fast. I mean I thought you would need time", he says."I would definitely need time", I let out a sigh. "Unless I didn't talk to you last night. I knew deep down what was right but I was not ready to do that. That conversation helped me a lot to control my emotions and make practical decisions. And I took it", I confidently say.A lovely smile curves on his face and he kisses my forehead lightly."I'm so glad that you could figure it all out and I could help you

    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

    Tiffany Emery runs to Sebastian. "Da—dy"And he immediately drives his eyes down and takes her in his arms. They both look at me lovingly. Now, I don't feel bad about pushing the wedding. 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. Sebastian spreads his arm at me and I immediately dig into his chest.He leans closer to my ear."My beautiful bride"I smile against his chest and look up. He takes my hand and leads me to the centre.

    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

    TiffanyTime indeed flies like air and it happened in my case in a better way. In the best way, actually. 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.

    TiffanyWe spent the last two days painting the house and I can't describe how beautiful it came out. We did some changes like replacing the furniture and donating some. 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.

    Sebastian"Really, Sebastian? I have never seen you this excited before", Georgia says as I show her some themes I'm confused with and I end up telling her the whole plan. "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. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't suggest h

    Tiffany We talked a lot today. I'm glad that I took this whole day out for him because we needed to have this conversation. I have finally decided to move in with him. 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. I want him to change his decision of holding back until I settle down. Because that's impossible. I'll need a lot of time to clean the mess and organise my life and I think I'll surely do it if I have Sebastian.I'm glad that Sebastian understood me and more than that he trusted me enough.
