Tessa gazed out at the expansive sea view in front of her. This was the scene on the balcony of her room in the morning. Little by little, she felt calm as the sky, which was still very dark at first, slowly began to show its charm as small bursts of light coming from the eastern horizon made everything more beautiful.

Tessa was still faithfully listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs. Her apartment was a little far from the sea but somehow, the splashes of seawater touched the surface of her hands.

The decaffeinated coffee in the mug was no longer steamy and might even have been cold.

Tessa's right-hand holds a parenting book for single mothers. Meanwhile, her left hand gently rubbed her growing belly, as her baby was seven months old in her tiny womb. The two of them had been through a lot together, sharing both sadness and happiness. Their souls were the same, and soon that body would be out seeing the world. To be honest, it was something Tessa was looking

    "How are you?" Tessa broached the subject again before things got even more awkward."I seem to be doing much better.""That's right. You're much better now. You're also much fuller than before. Likewise, you're so dapper in that suit and bow tie." Tessa just smiled slightly at how handsome the man in front of her was. The man who managed to get Tessa's heart in the fastest time and the shortest time too was all over."Really? But I like regular ties better than bow ties." Axel pulled the bow tie off his neck; he didn't like it and quickly put it in his pants pocket."Are you married?" Axel looked at Tessa's watch, as he couldn't find a ring on her finger anywhere."Yeah, I'm married. We're expecting our first baby; aren't you getting married too?" Tessa rubbed her empty watch while her eyes caught the ring on Axel's left finger several times. It signaled that the man was engaged.Axel steepled his fingers. This wasn't something he wanted to show Tessa, although she was married, but t

    "This marriage is up to me." How can it be up to me? Tell me what choice Daddy means by good." Axel gulped down the golden-colored liquid.The thumping music in the club didn't affect Axel at all. He was too busy in his world; he no longer thought about his surroundings other than continuing to drink without stopping.He cried like a baby. But no one could or would understand his current situation after the day he met his injury. Not a single day felt safe for Axel, as the image of Tessa's face continued to haunt him wherever and whenever. Like today, he fantasized about Tessa coming to see him. The woman comes to her in her red dress with slightly wavy hair and blush-red lipstick. One thing that caught Axel's attention was that she was smiling very sweetly at him."You came? You came to see me?" Axel raised his head and looked at the face of the woman in front of him."Why don't you answer me? Hmmm...what should I do? What should I do?" Axel hit the bar counter, surprising the barten

Tessa looked down and sat in a daze, not moving for hours as she left the window and balcony curtains wide open. The sound of the waves could be heard, normally she would fall asleep easily. But the past four days had been excruciating. Swallowing a piece of bread was so difficult, that all Tessa could do was stay still. There was no light in her apartment, everything was pitch black.Crying wouldn't change anything.

Only the way of seeing is different.****"Athena..."Tessa removed her hand from the small body. The little girl, whose name turned out to be Athena, ran a little towards the man on the other end Tessa and the man were only two meters apart.His body was frozen. A smile was no longer on Tessa's lips as she tried to stand on her legs that felt like they were turning to jelly, feeling pricked as the small hand grasped Axel's."Daddy.""Hmm." Axel took his eyes off the woman in front of him and focused on his daughter."Athena fell Daddy? Look at her injured hand.""Let Daddy see." Axel bent his knee to look at the small wound on Athena's body.Tessa turned around and chose to leave Axel. She didn't think there was anything that should make her greet Axel, she didn't miss Axel anymore, and everything was covered with hatred."Tessa."Tessa stopped whe

    "You're awake."The baritone voice came back as Tessa's footsteps came out of her room. Tessa thought Axel had gone to work, but he was still at the dining table with his little daughter. "Hmm." Tessa just mumbled that she didn't know what to do. Because it felt, well, too foreign. "Sit down, let's eat together." Axel stood up from his seat and pulled out a chair for Tessa to sit on. Tessa was silent as Axel returned the sweet gesture that made her feel Dejavu. Instead of sitting in the chair Axel had prepared, Tessa chose to pull out a new chair for herself. This meant that she wanted to show Axel she would no longer follow his requests.Axel was silent when he saw Tessa sitting in another chair. Meanwhile, he had high hopes before.

    "How is Mr. Josephine? Is this resting place big enough?" Hardin gazed at the burial place he had reserved. A very peaceful place to fall asleep in peace, Hardin also chose right under a tree that would protect him from the heat. "Very good. I agree to take this," Hardin replies to the person who helped him find a good burial spot. "Okay. But I apologize in advance. Who will be keeping it?" "Someone who will like it," Hardin replies with a smile. "I'm sorry for your sadness, Mr. Josephine. After this, I hope you get the best replacement," says the cemetery owner. "Thank you." Hardin turned back and looked at the places that had been filled. Many of the years were old, but Hardin would be the youngest to rest here. "Hello.

Tessa opens her eyes, she can't stand being watched intensely by Hardin."I thought you were asleep, turns out you were lying."

She was with Hardin who hugged her body from behind, Tessa's breath emitted smoke as it turned out that the night in the Eiffel was getting colder. Because of the change of season that will soon be winter, Tessa did not stop smiling as she raised her head to enjoy the beautiful spark of fireworks."When did you prepare all this?"

    A woman stands in a field of tulips. Her hair tied back, she is still busy tending to the plants with both hands. Tessa smiled as she successfully planted two new colors of tulips in her grandmother's backyard. Tessa continued to work on Camelia's flower shop which had grown in size, Tessa tried to stand up with one hand holding her belly which had again grown so large that it hindered her movement slightly."Madam you have too much to do today." Tessa again heard the small tone of the woman's voice that seemed to worry whenever she looked busy, even though Tessa loved all the work she did."Rania stop worrying so much. He and I are fine," Tessa rubbed the surface of her stomach."I'm just afraid of earning your husband's wrath." Rania made a pouty face."My husband can't get mad at you, as long as I'm with him." "I know what you're talking about Rania." Tessa twisted her body and turned around, she stared at the man who walked up to her still wearing his office suit."Honey, why d

    "You're not tired! I know you're sick!" Tessa covered her face as she cried in front of Hardin. Tessa felt like she couldn't do anything even though she was a doctor. She should have been more sensitive to this, but Tessa foolishly felt no suspicion at all."Baby, I'll get better." Hardin covers both of Tessa's shoulders and pulls her into a hug."You should have talked to me... Don't keep it to yourself, I'm your wife! No one else." Tessa continued to speak with a tightness that seemed to fill her chest."Who said you were the neighbor's wife?" Hardin laughed loudly."Hardin! I'm serious," Tessa punches Hardin in the chest."Crazy! I'm cured, I've got a really good personal doctor." "Who?" Tessa looks Hardin in the eye."You."

This was already the second bag she would be giving to Athena."Hang in there little fairy, after this Aunty is sure Athena is much stronger."
