*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV*
---
"Son, hi! It's good to see you here! Thanks that you have visited this old man. Are you staying here for dinner? Your mom will be cooking your favorite." The man, who I always wanted to see and talk to, spoke when I have stepped inside our mansion, and he went closer to me to put me in his embrace.
"Hi, Dad! Well, I was just stopping by. And, of course, maybe I would stay for dinner. Because I know that Mom wouldn't let me go back to my unit if I can't at least get a taste of her amazing dishes. Where is she anyway?" I replied dazzlingly and asked him about my mother. She would be so pleased to see me here, especially now that I got my beard shaved which seldomly happens.
"Well, she's just somewhere around. Probably, in the garden. Come here, let's t
Have a nice day or night! ❤❤
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV*---The sound of the wind hitting the sail is the only noise that I can hear, and it gives me this gloomy feeling inside. I just don't know what to think right now. I can't think of anything recently. I think my mind is all blank. Trauma? Maybe.Well, who would not feel such if you almost lost someone so dear to you and the only one that you have? I was scared as shit just a while ago. That was so freaking horrifying to experience. And, truth be told, I don't know what to do if he really did die. It's unthinkable. And, I would never want to experience it again. Ever.Thankfully, he seems feeling better now.Looking at his peaceful sleeping face and his chest rising up and down makes me feel happy and calm. I woul
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV*---A wide smile formed on my face when I have heard shaky and nervous voices on the other line."He-hello? Who's... Who are you? Who is this?" The trembling voice of my redheaded best friend, Valerie, echoed on the other line, and I guess that they are together now, which is much better. I wouldn't be saying things twice, or bother myself in making a call for three people.And, I decided to stay quiet for a moment, just to scare them a little and formulate some statements on how will I begin with my allegation."Hello? Is there anyone there? Who are you? How did you get this number that you are using? How did you get my number?" Tesla asked, and I guess she's not scared anymore."Tes, I guess they could be the ones that have searched and looked for the things that submerged deep in the ocean with the ship. Mia's phone is rugged and waterproof. Don't you think? It could be it. There i
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV* --- "Hi, I'm feeling good, Cray." The woman, who is lovelier than the night sea view before me, replied with her voice sounding somewhat sad, and I made her turn to face me while I wrap my arms around her waist. "Really? Why am I not convinced?" I asked her as I looked at her eyes that seems like she just cried, and she showed me a forced smile. Feeling sad, knowing that she might have a problem, I asked her, "Hey, what is the matter, Maia?" "Nothing. I just... Well, I uh... I just called my best friends." She answered, and I tucked some stray strands of her straight brown hair behind her left ear. And I nodded my head lightly, knowing that she has contacted someone already.
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV*---"Please, Mia. I'm begging you." Her sad voice echoed in my ears when I opened my eyes as I had just woken up from a dream. A sad dream. The same dream that I kept dreaming back at the island. Sabrina.Now, I really don't know what to do anymore. There are things that are certainly haunting me, and it scares me down to my bones. I never wanted to be in this situation since the beginning; to be the other woman of someone that is about to get married. Someone that has someone who is loving him so much. It hurts. Yes, it hurts to be the one to be cheated on. And, it also hurts to be the one to let go of someone that you hold dear. Maybe I really am just not lucky when it comes to romances. That's why I really am so done with this bullshit in my life. But, this persistent man, who has been hugging
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV* --- I took a very deep breath before I began reading the letter on my hold, and I only have one thing in my mind right now; I wish that it would be something good... Something romantic. A love letter. "Cray, I must have already left by the time you wake up and have read this." It began, and I already feel that I don't like where this is going, and I don't want to continue reading the rest of it. But, I want to know what are these things that she has written to me. Yet, why would she leave so early? Where would she go? And, without me? She didn't even wait for me to wake up, or even have woken me up. She could have just told me in person. Well, maybe she just went out to buy something, right? Or..
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV*---I wiped my tears dry as I stepped inside the elevator, and I pressed the ground floor button. Yet, another batch of tears fell from my eyes when I thought again of the thing that I have just done. I left him. I can't believe that I really left. And I know that it costs me everything, but I can't afford to make someone lose everything, too. I was the one who was out of place in the first place, so I better be the one to give way. I am not that super evil to take someone who is not mine first. While I still have the chance to make it right, I would take it. This is just for the sake of us three.After the elevator door opened, I wiped my tears again before I headed out of the hotel to go to the subway station. I need to go home and talk to my girls. A deep and sensitive talk, and with a few requests.
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV* --- "Valerie, yeah, it's me. Get in here closer." I whispered in response, and she seemed to obey, then I heard footsteps getting nearer to where I am. And, I took off my baseball cap and sunglasses, so I could have a better view of them. "Mia? Oh, my gosh! What are you doing there? Now, I am almost believing that you are a freaking ghost or a vampire. Why the heck are you there? Wait a sec. I will open the latches." She replied and ranted, and I think I need to hold on tight to the rails if ever she will attack me. It's better to be prepared than sorry, right? Because, damn, it's more than a freaking hundred feet down if I fall. "Surprise!" I greeted her, and she stepped back anxiously which made me look at her in confusion.
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV*---Another shot of whiskey for another minute that passed since she left me. And, another one for the more than a hundredth time that I have called her number, yet I have nothing. I do want to scream, cry, and break whatever that I got near my hold, but I can't destroy this only thing in my hold that I treat as my most valuable thing. Everything that I hold dear is here. Our moments together. But... Where is she? Where is she who told me that she loves me, too? Where is she who used to always make me smile? Where is she who I want to hold forever? Are the things that have happened to us be memories and pictures only? No. I can't take it. I can never accept it. I need her. I need my Mia.Maia, where are you, love? Why don't you just come back here in my arms? I need you more than you can think of.

*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV* --- As I walked into the living room of the mansion, a bright smile quickly crept on my face when I got the sight of the person waiting for me. We are gonna go to work together. My new PA. Partner in All. "Mmm, nice hairstyle, Mr. Einar. Never seen you in that before. Your hairstylist seems to be really good." She remarked with a wide smile as she saw me, and I let out a soft laugh. "Yeah, I just... I just let her do what she wants. Well... It's time to make a few changes. But umm... Uh, never mind, yeah! Let's go?" I replied and asked her while walking closer to where she is, and she quickly went to walk to the door. I just want a kiss. Just one. Even just a quick one. Maybe she doesn't like my shark fin hairstyle? Hmm. It was my mother and the great Wa
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV* --- Seeing him again after a long time makes me the happiest, and I don't know where to put the joy that I feel right now. I never expected any of this at all. It's really him. It's my man. It's my Cray. Though he looked a bit different because of his long hair, he still looks the same to me. He looks great with his new hairstyle, and I never really thought that he would be growing it long as I told him to. I thought we would be the ones to surprise him the day after tomorrow, but it is us who were shocked so much because of his unannounced visit. And now, witnessing his conversation with Wayne makes me feel more than complete. It is indeed a very magnificent sight to see. I finally see the resemblance
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV*---While looking at the pretty little girl who was taken by the woman who has let me in this household from the arms of the girl who I used to call mine, I felt like I was dipped in the coldest bath while I felt so warm. I can't explain what I feel. I know it has been too long since we haven't heard anything from each other, and it's not impossible for her not to find a man who she loves and loves her back. Like, literally, every man who lays eyes on her would definitely fall. Who doesn't? She is everything that is amazing. He is certainly the luckiest person on Earth.I let out a heavy breath as I leaned down to pick up the thing on the couch. The thing that was the reason why I am here and have found her, unexpectedly. This belongs to her.After I got the
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV* --- "Mum, will Andoo be okay there at the hospital for the dogs?" The curious little girl asked while settling herself in our bed, and I tucked her in. She has just finished her before-bedtime routine which is brushing her teeth, slipping in her favorite pajamas, and saying good night to her fishes at the aquarium on the left side of my study table. "Yeah, he will be fine, Wayne. I think he would love to see you there. Wanna go with me tomorrow?" I answered and asked her, which made her face lighten up. And she cheered and asked, "Yes, Mum, of course! Is he gonna go home already? I missed him so much." "Yep, he can finally go home. Also, we should go to the pet shop to buy our goldfish some food. So... You better sleep now so you can go to Andrew early.
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV*---My jaw dropped in awe when the biggest creature in the whole wide world had just passed right before my eyes. It's a damn huge blue whale!"Now, that seems like a hundred times larger than our submarine, boss. Can you imagine if that thing would swallow our vehicle, sir? What do you think would happen?" Johan let out in amazement and asked me some absurd silly question."Johan, why don't you try to get closer to its mouth, then get inside it, and let's see what would happen? Hmm?" I answered him sarcastically, and he just laughed as he went to accelerate, then the idiot really did what he was told."What the fuck are you doing?" I cursed when I noticed that we were driving so close to the head of the hu
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV*---The sound of every stroke of the pencil touching the paper is the only thing that I could hear, and I do love the sound of it. It's almost silent. And it's my only escape from the busy yet lonely world here in the office whenever the dismissal time comes.After sketching a few more touches of my masterpiece of the week, I let out a sigh as my gaze turned to the area where the owner of the face that I have been sketching for the last hour, used to sit and wait for any order that I will tell her. And a smile crept on my face as I remembered those times when she sits there, facing her computer, and wearing her grumpy face whenever I let her do something twice or thrice again and again just to mess up with her.Oh, Maia, when can I finally see you agai
*Mia Taylen Gideon's POV*---A deep sigh escaped my lips as I stared at the mountains where the mighty sun is on its way to make some other places on Earth morning again.It's the ninth sunset that I am looking at all alone, and I feel so blue even if the scenery before me surely is wonderful. We used to stare and appreciate the beauty of nature together while in each others' hold. And I just missed him so much. That's it. Because whenever I can witness this view, all I think about is him. Well, honestly, it's always him who is on my mind every second and every minute that passes since the time that I left him. I just can't force my mind and heart to forget him, no matter how hard I try. And these pictures on my phone don't help at all."That's the two thousand seven hun
*Craig Wyatt Einar's POV* --- "Craig. Son, that's enough. It's too early in the morning to be drinking booze. You haven't even eaten breakfast. And, I am not so sure that you did sleep last night. I believe it is gonna be okay. Give me that bottle." The woman who gave birth to me told me as she has seen me drowning my miserable self in alcohol again. I just woke up from an hour of sleep from overthinking everything that I am going through. I don't even give a fuck about my aching head from drinking lots of spirits last night. I thought I could forget her if I get too drunk to be thinking about us, yet I even cried out while looking at all our pictures on my phone like a hundred times and staying in our mini-ship right outside the lawn. And, now, I am looking at our pictures again and again. I won't get tired of it. Yes, I am
