7 Years ago...."Nick. I'm sorry. For me, Sunbin left you." Without looking at Nick, Rayan took sips of the whiskey bottle. He didn't understand what happening today, he is drinking the third bottle but no sign of sleep.He wanted to sleep because the pain his heart was having now is unbearable. He didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted to think that everything will be fine tomorrow. But when you don't want to think about anything, nature will force you to think about everything.Nick chuckled and shook his head. "It's not for you dude. It's for us. We make deal with everything. Everything is not business. We forgot that."Rayan didn't hear anything, his brain was fighting with his heart. His heart was wrecking inside him. His brain was telling him it's alright, but his heart telling him the opposite.She'll never forgive me. In these three years, as much as I recognize her, she will no
"So he cheated on you?" Yejin looked at Crystal with disbelief after hearing everything she said.Crystal shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I'm still not sure if he did or not. But... I just think... Back then, I was too emotional because of my age. If I think about it now...""Then What?" Yejin looked at her curiously.Crystal leaned closer to her. "Can I be honest?" As Yejin nodded, she smiled. "I was waiting for him to come back to me.""He didn't? He is now coming back to you."Crystal heaved a deep sigh. "After seven years? It's been seven years, girl. My heart. It is dead.""Don't worry he'll make it alive. With his love dose as a life support." Yejin smiled cheekily. As Crystal didn't reply, she grinned and stood up. "Don't shy. I'll talk with you later huh?" When Crystal nodded, she left.After some time, Mickhel knocked on the door, as he came in, he g
"Dad."Rayan's lips curled up with a soft smile when Anne came to him from the school building, almost running. She looked very happy. Of course, she was. She said the maid usually picked her up from school. But today, her father is picking her up. This feels great.Rayan smiled again. Even three days ago when they chatted with each other here, he didn't know she is his daughter. Own daughter.After coming back home, Rayan helped her to get freshen up and then came to the dining room to feed her the food."Dad. I have a question." Anne said when the maid gave Rayan the plate.Rayan put it down on the table and looked at her. "What now, madam?" She was asking many questions in the car. About the traffic lights, cars, police, etc. She was really talkative and cute just like the previous version of her mother.Anne grinned seeing her father's patience. She thought only Alex uncle liste
A little boy grinned when he saw Crystal walking towards his bed. "Hi pretty." He waved at her. "You're looking extra pretty today." He liked this doctor, she was always friendly and don't hurt him.Crystal narrowed her eyes at her little patient. "Silly boy. You have to protect this burn area from the sun. Okay?" As the boy nodded, She pulled his nose and turned to his parents. "He is alright. If you notice any infection in the burn areas, see a doctor immediately.""Pretty. I'll miss you when I'll go back home." The boy pouted his lips cutely, trying to look sad, making their parents laugh.Crystal took a glance at their parents and let out a soft chuckle. "Silly boy. Call me aunt. I have a daughter. She is just four years younger than you." Kids are really so silly these days.The boy shook his head fiercely. "You're married? You have a husband?" His face downed.The smiled on Crystal's face fade
"Anne... Help me with this."Anne ran to her mother, who was trying to move a big ficus plant pot from the garden. She wanted to shift this beside the Jade plant. The pot is really heavy, she can't move it all by herself. "Mom. Did you come home early for doing this?" Anne pressed her palm on her forehead.Crystal stopped and straightened her body. "I came home early because..." Because I thought he'll be here. But he wasn't. He'll not come today, right? How can he? Stop being greedy Crystal. "Because I really want to do this. Come help me." She lied as she put her hands on the pot to push it."I don't think you'll need my help now." Anne giggled.She creased her forehead and glared at her. Before she could say something, a soft gasp escaped her lips when someone's chest pressed against her back, hard chest. This scent is familiar. It's Rayan!When he put her hands on her hands, She titled her head
"...Anne, You & I."Rayan froze in his position hearing what Crystal said just now. One day! 24 hours! With Anne and Crystal! And who is saying that? He opened his mouth but the sound wasn't coming. Did he hear it right? But why one day? Just 24 hours? When he is more than ready to give her forever? For that forbidden thing? Because she thought she is Muslim and I'm Christian? If that's the main problem, that will not matter after today."Mamma."Both of them turned their face to the glass door surprisingly hearing Anne's sudden voice. Crystal's eyes got widened when she saw her daughter wearing a birthday cap, holding a cake in her hand with candles litten on it."Happy Birthday, Mom." Anne face litten up like the glowing candles. Rayan let out a soft laugh seeing his cute daughter. She looked so cute with that birthday cap on her tiny head.She was trying her best to force herself not to sleep
Rayan rolled over in the soft sheets when the sunlight touched his face. He slowly opened his eyes, letting his eyes to see the sun rays. Slowly he pushed himself out of bed, glancing around the room. He noticed a messy assortment of notebooks, some picture albums, and other stuff on a table in the corner of the room.Why does he feel so much better? This morning feels different. Special. He was under the same roof with Crystal and Anne. He let out a soft laugh. Even his big mansion, his large master bedroom wasn't able to give him this faint feeling. Never ever.He strode towards the table and took one of the photo albums. He pulled the chair and sat on it, opening the album. The first picture of the album was Anne's with an attached date. It was her last year's birthday photo.She was smiling brightly as always. He smiled softly and turned the page. As he saw the next photo, his smile faded. It was Crystal's photo when she was pre
"Anne. you'll fall down. Stop running." Crystal shouted at Anne from behind who was running excitedly towards the merry go round with Rayan. Both of them stopped and turned back to look at Crystal. Crystal glared at her daughter as she walked towards her. "See, you're sweating." She sighed and took a handkerchief out of her bag and wiped the sweat off her face. "You came here before so many times. What's wrong with you this time?" Anne pouted her lips cutely and looked at Rayan. "Because Dad is with me." She smiled sweetly. Crystal let out a soft laugh and looked at Rayan. "Don't let her run. Overe..." "Stop nagging already." Saying that Rayan grabbed Anne's hand tightly and pulled her towards the merry go round. "You're being like a naggy wife now." He said to Crystal with a grin. Crystal widened her eyes and started following them from behind. "
