Bertrand's POV Maybe some people don't understand. Or actually already understand, but they find it difficult and even reluctant to apply it in life. What's that? That life is a gradual and long process. About planting something, the results of which cannot be obtained in a short time. At first I didn't really understand why our lives could turn out like this. We, especially I feel like we don't have anything extraordinary. Ordinary abilities, ordinary effort and work, let alone very ordinary practices. Everything is standard, it could even be below average. I believe, what other people do is much more and better than us. I then realized that the various conveniences, goodness and miracles that are happening to us today are because of the accumulation of goodness that has been planted by our predecessors. My grandfather used to have a small orange garden near his house. Every time he harvests, he always doesn't forget to share the harvest with many people. Small childre
Sophia's POV My name is Sophia Bertrand, well I only got my name after I met my biological mother and father. I was kidnapped by a woman named Margaretta. She is really good to me and gives me full attention like a mother. What I know from her is that she can be a single parent. She never told me that she was kidnapped. Well of course she didn't say it, but saying that would be the same as badmouthing herself. I also get abundant love from her and my grandfather. I feel like my life is perfect even without my father by my side. I also live abroad with excellent facilities. Starting from school, I never miss a day of my daily life. Eat deliciously and can buy whatever I want. I never once felt uncomfortable here because Margaretta always gave me affection. Finally I moved to this city after five years abroad. Margaretta said that I had to return to this city. I don't mind either. I live in an apartment where it is comfortable to go to and from home and also be drive
Sophia's POV Since that day, I've been a little awkward around Jeremy. Even though usually I almost never chat with him. But it turns out that Jeremy likes me. I don't want my relationship to make me distance myself from him. Jeremy also kept his distance from me a bit. I just said hello to him. Today I have an exam in one of my subjects. I studied in a corner near the classroom because it wasn't time for me to go in yet. Suddenly someone greeted me. “Sophia.” I looked and it turned out it was Jeremy. "Yes, What is up?" "Sorry, if it makes you uncomfortable. But can we just be friends like normal? I'm also not comfortable being this close to you." I took a breath. “Sorry, but you are the one who makes me uncomfortable. I think we can be normal friends." "Okay, if you really don't feel comfortable with me. I was the one who made our atmosphere uncomfortable. I apologize to you." "It's okay." I took a breath. Jeremy left in front of me even though we usually a
Sophia's POV I don't think I'm ready to be engaged. "Hm, I do intend to marry you, Sophia." My mother also answered because maybe she knew that I was running out of words. "It's enough. I think I really appreciate your good intentions towards Sophia. But I don't think Sophia is ready for that. So maybe you just have a relationship so you can get to know each other. And you can play at our house." “Yes, thank you, ma'am. I'm very happy to meet you. I will schedule a visit to your house." I just ate a little there. Because I feel like I don't know what to do. Because the conversation between us seemed quite heavy so it made me feel numb. If Jeremy didn't talk about marriage, of course I would be able to relax too. But for some reason, Jeremy said about marriage at the beginning of his meeting with my mother. We weren't there for long because I couldn't stand just talking to my mother alone. Just getting into the car I asked my mother. “How is it, ma'am?” "Calm down
Bertrand's POV Patricia then called her mother and asked what she wanted to eat at home, coincidentally she was at a restaurant. I just took note of what Megan said. Orders from my wife and also my other children at home. I feel happy that I can make them happy. I hope everything will be like this forever. After finishing, I took them home. When they got home, Patricia distributed the food she had bought earlier. Megan approached me. "How was it at their school?" "Thank God their grades are good. Moreover, Leo also got very satisfying grades. He is similar to Sophia who likes mathematics." "In that case, thank God. Sophia also started to feel confused. Indirectly, she was proposed to by her classmate who was actually already in master's degree but chose to become a graduate again because of his educational interests." I frowned. "Oh yes? Who is him?” “He is Sophia's classmate. He lives in a rental house. He said from out of town." I nodded my head. “Oh, just
Megan's POV That's why I teach my children to be able to pursue education and I will also facilitate them until they can achieve their dreams. "You have got up?" I just realized that Bertrand had opened his eyes. I smile. "Yeah, I was thinking so far that I didn't realize you were awake." “What are you thinking?” Bertrand brushed my hair that was touching my face. We were still both under the blanket. We were both completely naked but we had fun doing it. Because intimacy needs to be maintained not only when we are newlyweds. After marriage, the husband and wife always look intimate. On all occasions, new couples will shower all their affection on each other. As marriage ages, many couples begin to show less affection. This can be caused by increasing work or the presence of a baby who takes up all your busyness and attention. If this is the case, your partner may feel that they are not cared for and this can cause the relationship between husband and wife to become s
Megan's POV The contents of the letter were that I was invited as a permanent lecturer there. Because my grades are quite good and I have sufficient experience in my field. Even though I studied biology, I used to carry out research on bacteria and find solutions to diseases. I was also invited to work at a well-known factory with a salary that was not small. But I refused on the grounds that I already had a business and I couldn't stay. But the offer to become a permanent lecturer made me want to take this job offer. Just what about Isabella? I promised her I would help take care of her baby. Moreover, if I became a lecturer, of course I would spend more time on campus and less time with my family. How about this? I'm really confused. “What's wrong with you, ma'am? What package was that?" Isabella read the letter I received herself. “Wow, this is great, ma'am. You must accept this job offer. I support you to take this job. This is noble work.” Seeing Isabella's f
Bertrand's POV I was surprised by the call from Sophia. "What's wrong, Sophia?" "We had an accident, dad." “Huh? Yes, I'll go there now." I took a deep breath. Sophia's words were clear, but why did she ask me to go to the hospital immediately even though she also had an accident? I left them because Megan said she wanted to take the bus when she went home. But this was still four hours ago I left them but they had already had an accident. I asked Evan to immediately take me to the hospital. My feelings of confusion made me unable to stay calm while traveling. It's better if Evan drives the car. After two hours I finally arrived at the hospital. I met Sophia whose head and hands were bandaged but she could walk. “Dad.” Sophia's eyes filled with tears. "Where's your mother?" I asked hopefully if Megan would be okay. "Mom, Mom, the doctor declared her in a coma, Dad." Sophia immediately burst into tears. She hugged me. I also trembled when I heard my daughter's
Megan's POV A week after Bertrand was buried I finally realized that Bertrand was indeed gone. For a week I felt like I was about to die. My husband, who I loved so much, turned out to have really died. Some time ago the doctor gave me a letter. “Mr. Bertrand gave this to me and I have to give this to you.” Only now do I want to open this letter because I have lost my enthusiasm for life. [To my beloved wife, Megan and also my children, Sophia, Isabella and Rudolf, Leo and Patricia. I really love all of you. If you receive this letter it means I have left you all. Sorry, because I didn't want to worry you. I've been sick for the last three months. I refused to undergo treatment because I didn't want to worry you all. I only take painkillers. Megan, my wife who I love most in the world. I will never be happy if I am not with you. I'll wait for you here, okay? You still have to look after our children. Sorry if I die first and can't accompany you until we grow old
Megan's POV Living my days as a lecturer is really fun. I can increase my knowledge. Because as a teacher, I actually learn more and more about a science that I have studied all this time. As a teacher, I have an inseparable role and function, including the ability to educate, guide, teach and train my students. Lifelong learning is a concept that is common to everyone. Learning also starts from the time we are in the womb until we die. That's the importance of having a smart partner. For a lecturer, this concept must also apply. This means that there is no stopping learning for a lecturer. Lecturers are required to continue studying, aka studying again. Don't just because you already have lecturer status, or feel like you have become a professional lecturer because you got a professional certificate, then stop studying. This is a wrong view. lecturers really have to keep learning. That's why while I was on campus I also studied with professors and didn't feel satisfie
Megan's POV I saw he laughed too. "Even though I've been here for more than an hour, Mom." "Oh yes? You know now I teach." "Yeah, that's why I called you, you should be home." Isabella looked happier than ever. So it's true that Rudolf can make my daughter happy. I'm very grateful for that. Seeing my child happy with her husband really makes me feel very relieved. When I see my daughter getting married, a deep mixture of feelings often surrounds my heart. Of course, there is an extraordinary feeling of happiness because I see my little one, whom I once cared for and raised with great love, is now starting a new chapter in her life. However, on the other hand, there is also a feeling of emotion and perhaps a little sadness because I realize that my daughter is now entering the maturity phase and will live a life that may be more independent. My feelings when my daughter got married were a mixture of pride, emotion, happiness and a little anxiety all in one. This create
Megan's POV That evening I was waiting for Izora to arrive at home and I was grateful that she actually came with her husband on the bus and got off right in front of my house. I was waiting for their arrival there. “You've finally come, Izora.” "Yeah, I just fulfilled my promise to you to come here." “Thank you, Izora.” I didn't immediately invite her to eat. But I chatted with her first while Bertrand invited Izora's husband to chat. I talked about the past and what he and I had gone through. I also told him that in the accident I had fallen into a coma and had a long dream. That's enough for us to tell. So that time doesn't feel like it's just passing by. Bertrand invited his husband Izora to sit with us. I said, "I intend to give you something as a wedding gift." “Don't bother, Megan! I just invited myself here, I'm very happy." "No problem. This is the key and certificate for my house where we used to live. I've given it to you. I don't think you will refuse my
Megan's POV Today Isabella got married. Well, she has indeed found her life partner, namely Rudolf. I left it up to Isabella where she wanted to live. Because as parents we cannot force married children to stay with us as parents. Every parent certainly wants their child's life to be filled with happiness. Especially when the child is married and building his own home life. To ensure that their children's married lives go well, many parents interfere too much in their household affairs. Not a few parents still feel they have power over their children's lives. In fact, instead of helping, parental involvement sometimes actually makes the problem worse. In fact, quite a few cases of divorce are caused by parental interference, both their own parents and in-laws. There are several restrictions parents place on married children. Most importantly, parents are prohibited from involving themselves too deeply in their child's domestic conflicts. Apart from that, when a child is
Megan's POV All this time it turns out I had a very long dream. My father and mother apparently took me where I was when I was little. I'm happy because even though I'm just dreaming, I can feel that happiness in the real world. I remember that I have a family who loves me very much. It's true what my mother said if I still have responsibilities here. It's just that she doesn't want to say what my responsibility is. Maybe he doesn't want to make me even more confused in nature. So during this time I was also in a coma for more than two months. I was also told by Sophia that it was Margaretta who hit me at that time. I can't understand what she did to me. But now she has gotten revenge for what she did to me. During the recovery period, both in the hospital and at home, I was encouraged to practice mobility or movement by walking. Generally, the total recovery period for patients undergoing spinal surgery is around 6 weeks. Because it turns out I not only had back surger
Bertrand's POV I don't mind that. The important thing is that she can tell the story and knows who she is now. I let her sleep and be accompanied by Sophia. Meanwhile I consulted a doctor. "Doc, how is my wife's condition?" “Your wife does have amnesia. But if we scanned yesterday it didn't affect her nerves which are related to memory. I hope her amnesia is because she's been asleep for too long. But don't force her too much. The important thing is that you communicate lightly! "It could be that she is trying to remember but her ability can't." I nodded. "Yes, doc. When I tried to make her remember about us, she was already dizzy. I'm worried something happened to her." "That's why I don't allow you to push her too much, sir." "I understand." I returned to Megan's room. She's already asleep. "Dad, Mom has amnesia, right? Hm, I think she'll remember soon.” "Yes, we wish your mother the best!" I'm really relieved because Megan is awake. It's just that she needs
Megan's POV It's been a long time since I felt comfortable living with my father and mother. In fact, I feel that my current life is better than before. My parents always shower me with various happiness. Whatever I want, they do it, even if I don't ask, they will give it, so every day I feel like there are lots of unexpected surprises.“Megan.”I turned my head because my mother called. “Yes, ma'am. What is it?" "We have to take you somewhere." But this time my mother's face looked gloomy. "What's wrong, ma'am?" “Hm, actually you shouldn't be here too long, Megan. You have to go back.” “What do you mean, ma'am? My house is here." “No, Megan. You can't stay here too long. You have to go back. You have another life that is better than here. You still have a lot of responsibilities.” I shook my head. "I don't understand, ma'am. What do you mean? My home is here and you guys love me too. Do you intend to give me to someone else?” My father suddenly came into my
Sophia's POV I have reasons to consider Leon to be my life partner. I feel that I don't want to have a serious relationship with any man. Because my closeness to Leon really made me unable to concentrate in college. It's just that I haven't had the right time for it. Maybe I'll consider it later when I meet him. Today, after taking Isabella to the hospital, I intended to take Anthony for a walk around the hospital. Because Anthony would definitely get bored if he just sat still because he is an active child. I took him to the park near the hospital. I invited him to talk. I'm also sure that he at least heard even a little because that kid's memory is quite strong. “Sophia?” I turned around when my name was called. “Leon?” “Oh, so that's why you don't want to accept me, huh? You already have children, right? I just know how you are. I think you are really a good woman but you are not much different from a cheap woman. I regret that I already like you and from this m
