MasukThe next morning came too soon. Savannah woke up before Adrian, her heart already heavy. She turned her head and looked at him. He was still sleeping, one arm resting over her waist, his chest rising and falling slowly. She stared at him for a while, memorizing his face. She didn’t want to wake him yet. She just wanted to keep watching him, to hold on to that peaceful moment before he left. After some minutes, she quietly slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she came out, she could already hear Adrian’s phone ringing on the table. He sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes before answering. “Hello? Yes, I’m on my way soon… alright.” Savannah’s heart squeezed a little. The reality of him leaving had finally sunk in. “Good morning,” she said softly, forcing a smile. He looked at her and smiled too. “Good morning, love. You’re up early.” “I couldn’t sleep well,” she said. “I kept thinking about you traveling.” Adrian stood up, walked over, and hugged
The next morning came quietly, with the sweet smell of fresh air drifting into the bedroom. Savannah slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at Adrian beside her. He was still sleeping, one arm resting over her waist, his breathing calm and deep. She smiled gently. He looked so peaceful, like all the worries of the world had disappeared. For a moment, she just watched him, thinking about how far they had come. From strangers to best friends, to husband and wife — it still felt like a dream. Savannah carefully sat up and stretched. She wore her robe and walked to the window, pushing the curtain aside. The sun had started rising, painting the sky with shades of gold and orange. It was such a beautiful sight that she whispered a soft “Thank you, God.” Downstairs, the house was already awake. The maids were cleaning and chatting softly, trying not to make too much noise. The smell of breakfast filled the air — fried eggs, bread, and hot tea. Savannah went to the bathroom to fres
Two days had passed since Adrian surprised Savannah with gifts, and their home had been filled with nothing but laughter and peace. The weather was clear that morning, and the sun shone softly through the curtains. Savannah was in the kitchen with Aunty Lisa, watching her boss the maids around. “Add more salt! No, not that much—eh! You people want to kill my son-in-law?” Aunty Lisa shouted, making everyone laugh. Savannah giggled as she stirred a bowl of fruit salad. “Aunty Lisa, you act like Adrian can’t eat anything that’s not perfect.” Aunty Lisa turned to her dramatically. “My dear, when a man is rich and handsome, you don’t give him nonsense food. You protect your marriage with your cooking skills!” Savannah laughed so hard she almost dropped the spoon. “Aunty, you’re too funny.” “Funny? I’m serious o,” Aunty Lisa said with a straight face. “Do you think beauty alone keeps a man? No, my dear, it’s food, love, and peace. You already have love and peace. Now make sur
The next morning came quietly. The soft sound of rain tapped against the window. Savannah woke up before Adrian. She looked at his peaceful face and smiled. He looked like a man who finally found rest after so many storms. She got up slowly, trying not to wake him. Liam was sleeping too, his tiny chest rising and falling softly. Savannah covered him properly with his little blanket and walked to the window. The rain made everything outside look calm and fresh. She stood there for a while, thinking of how far she had come. From pain to peace. From tears to joy. After a few minutes, she heard a soft voice behind her. “You’re awake already?” Savannah turned. Adrian was sitting up, smiling. His hair looked messy, and he still looked sleepy. “Yes,” she said softly. “The rain woke me up.” Adrian got up and walked to her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. “Good morning, my wife,” he whispered into her ear. Savannah smiled, resting her hands over his. “Good morning
The sun slowly rose over the city, lighting up the big white mansion that now felt like home to Savannah. It had been a few days since she and Adrian returned from their honeymoon, and everything still felt like a dream she didn’t want to wake up from. The soft sound of birds filled the air as Savannah turned on the bed. She smiled when she saw Adrian beside her, already awake, reading something on his tablet. His hair was a bit messy, and his eyes looked calm and serious as always. “Good morning,” she said in a low voice. Adrian looked up and smiled warmly. “Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?” “Yes,” she said, sitting up slowly. “I still can’t believe we’re back home.” Adrian laughed softly. “You sound like you miss the beach already.” She grinned. “Maybe a little. But I missed this room too.” Adrian put down his tablet and leaned closer, brushing her hair off her face. “I’m glad to hear that. Because I’ve missed seeing your smile every morning.” Savannah blus
Savannah stood at the door of their mansion, looking around with a soft smile as the maids rushed out to welcome them. The whole house seemed brighter, filled with joy. Aunty Lisa was the first to come running, waving her scarf in excitement. “My babies are back!” she shouted, hugging Savannah tight. “Ah! Look at you! Marriage is sweeting your body already. You’re glowing!” Savannah laughed shyly. “Aunty, you’ll make me hide.” Adrian was standing behind them, smiling proudly. “Aunty Lisa, we missed you too.” Aunty Lisa turned and gave him a playful slap on the arm. “Don’t ‘Aunty Lisa’ me. You didn’t even call me from that your honeymoon. I wanted to see pictures!” Adrian laughed. “You would have disturbed us even from afar.” Everyone burst out laughing, including the maids who stood nearby. Aunty Lisa turned to them and shouted, “What are you people looking at? Go and bring juice for my daughter and her husband! Make it chilled!” The maids ran off quickly, giggling. Sa
