"I bumped into a handsome man, haha!"

"Aila.."

"Aila,"

Someone is calling me. Slowly, I open my eyes. Mom is right in front of me, smiling as she usually does.

"How are you?"

"I-I'm fine? Are you alright, mom? Why all of a sudden" I chuckle. Mom is so weird, asking me if I'm okay or not.

But Elena isn't smiling anymore. She recognize this situation, took her long enough to finally able to remember all of those left behind in the story. Her daughter doesn't recall anything right now. She is back to the usual Aila.

"Oh My God! I'm going to be late for school." Antania suddenly jumps out of the bed and quickly runs to the bedroom.

"No need to rush. It's Saturday, sweetheart."

Antania stops. "Saturday? But wasn't yesterday Wednesday?"

Elena chuckles. "You're not quite sober yet, do you want me to wake you up?"

Antania knows what her mom is up to. That old woman will definitely tickle her until she's out of breath.

"Mom, no, wait!" Antania keeps walking backward as Elena slowly approaches her.

3 Years Later

Hi, everyone! I'm Aila, a 21 year-old-university girl and right now...

I'M DEAD LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!!

I have finals this morning and damn, I woke up too late! Now I have to run since my bike is being repaired. Bus has left 10 seconds before I catch up and I forgot to bring my phone. How ironic! Mr. Gumer will definitely scold me. 

Bugh!

"Oh my God, not my books now!" I quickly picks up the my files.

"Wife."

Deg.

I lift up my head. "Huh?"

A pretty tall man with black hair and red eyes staring at me dearly. Those eyes seems familiar and his face I seem to know. For a second I thought he's my classmate. We both keep looking at each other, no one wants to stop first. Until, I realize that I am running out of time.

"Ah, thank you for helping with the papers. I'm in a rush, see you again!" I don't have time to think of his face. All I think right now is to run to the place in front of me right now.

Author POV

Karl is still stunned after looking at Antania. His hand is still lifted up after he picked up her papers.

"That was close!" Merlin suddenly shows up out of nowhere.

"Thank goodness I changed Your Majesty's clothes before coming here. Now shall we go back, I'm running out of power." 

Karl only nods. His face looks more mature now, and he's grown more mucles. Merlin smiles looking at the young emperor. His eyes were shining when he finally saw Antania. 

'They always look tired and cold whichever way you look at them' Merlin talks to himself.

For the past 3 years, all Karl did was training, battling, and thinking of his wife. He became the young emperor with powerful authority and has grown his territory. His expression has become so expressionless compared to when Antania was still with him. Lucky for us, Alberth is always there with him. The young prince is now 8 years old and misses his mom every single day.
