“Hi mommy! Good morning! You wake now. Daddy’s done taking a bath. You go now. We’ll be going to grandpa’s house right? It’s his birthday,” Kristoffer, their two-year-old son went to the bed and woke her with a kiss.
“Mommy will be up Kris. Now, now run along to nanny. You should take a bath also, right?” Alex, told his son as he went out from the water closet.
“I want mommy to bathe me,” he said sweetly.
“Okay, okay. Go to your nanny and ask for your towel and clothes. That will be nice, right?” his father said.
“Okay! Love you mommy. Love you daddy,” he said kissing his mommy and daddy and run to his nanny.
“Thanks Al, for being there for me always. I know it’s hard to live in your brother’s ghost. I’m sorry if I married you just to have Arthur alive in you. I know you’ve sacrificed your life by marrying me because that was Arthur’s wish before he died.” Xyryll said to her husband.
“But you know I loved you. I love you hon. I have loved you since that summer I visited mom and Arthur at their house. I was watching you and him from the window biking. I wanted to know you but I didn’t. Arthur loved you so much. I loved you even though I know the reason why you married me. I loved you even though you married me because you want Arthur back in me. I’m willing to wait hon until you’ll love me. Not because I have Arthur’s face but because I’m me,” he said with sadness in his eyes.
“I’m sorry if it took so long for me to realize. That’s it’s you all these years. It’s you whom I was married. It’s you whom I have Kristoffer and not Arthur. I’m sorry if you’ve waited too long. I’m sorry if you have to live up by his ghost. I was too selfish. But a while ago, I’ve realized that I’ve loved you. Since that day I say “I do” in that church. It’s just that I was afraid to lose someone again. It’s hard, very hard,” she said as tears rolled down from her eyes. “I love you hon,” she finally said.
“I love you too, very much!” he said with a wide smile.
And they kissed.
