Epilogue

Engfa's POV

I woke up and immediately felt the sunlight passing through the window. It was incredible to feel the fresh air on my face and to hear the birds singing. But above all, hearing laughter and little footsteps running through the house—that was the most beautiful part of every single morning.

A year ago, we decided to move somewhere our kids could be happy and have fun out in the countryside. We also wanted them to learn to care for nature and, of course, to be able to run freely without as many dangers.

That’s how we decided it would be better to live in a beautiful house near the countryside. It’s a lovely town here.

Of course, I’m not saying we’ve completely left the city or disconnected from the world. We still know how to balance it all well. We still have our home in Bangkok, our city.

Sometimes we spend the holidays there, or we just choose wherever we feel like being.

I remember crying tears of joy when I found out Charlotte was pregnant with our second child. It was beautiful to feel that again—she looked as radiant as ever.

I think that the day our little boy was born, we all cried. Everyone was there—our loved ones, our family—celebrating that beautiful day with us.

Let me tell you, after all this time together, Heidi and Tina got married, and it wasn’t long before they made us aunts again—they decided to have their first baby through treatment. Meanwhile, Chompu and Nessa also started their relationship after Aoom’s birth. They're madly in love, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the next ones to get married.

Well... our beautiful little ones are growing up way too fast. My little Liam is already 3 years old—can you believe it? He’s already learning to read. I think Aoom is teaching him.

What can I say about her... Let's start by saying she’s an incredibly beautiful and charming little girl, and so well-mannered—just like her mother, my lovely wife. Though everyone says she looks more like me because of her dark hair, I say she’s her mother’s twin. She has her strong personality and those gorgeous hazel eyes that run in the family.

She inherited all that beauty... and also that fierce character from her mother. She really learned quickly how to be a big sister. She’s very understanding and independent.

She teaches her brother everything she learns. Our little princess just keeps growing more beautiful, and there’s no doubt she’s going to be an amazing and powerful woman one day.

She’s already 10 now. That makes me so emotional—I’m not even going to lie.

I still remember the first time I saw her—so tiny and precious. She’s always been more attached to me, and Liam is more attached to Charlotte, his mama.

Liam is such a handsome little guy, with those brown eyes and that mischievous smile. He’s cheerful, funny, a bit clumsy—yes, he got that from me.

He’s always smiling, he loves reading, and he asks for bedtime stories every night. He’s incredibly smart for his age, and very shy too. He’s the quiet one, the calm one.

He loves so many things. His intelligence definitely comes from his mother—yeah, from her—because honestly, I don’t think I’m as clever as those two.

I know when they grow up, both of them will be so attractive. Who knows, maybe they’ll have a bunch of girlfriends… or boyfriends.

I love my kids more than anything. They are the great loves of my life, and I thank the universe every single day for letting me watch them grow.

“Love, what are you doing? Are you coming to have breakfast with us?”

That sweet voice of my wife pulled me from my thoughts.

She looked so beautiful with that adorable smile—damn, she makes me fall in love all over again every single day. Before I could even respond, one of our little ones spoke up.

“Mama, come on! Let’s eat breakfast… Pancakes!”

Liam yelled now, looking at me with those big brown eyes.

“What’s wrong with Mama? Did she die? Why isn’t she talking?” Aoom joked, teasing her mom.

Charlotte looked at me with amused curiosity too.

“Aoom, how could you say that about Mama?” Liam said seriously, scolding his older sister.

Now all of them were staring at me. Charlotte was laughing at our kids’ comments too.

“Darling, what’s going on with you?” she asked softly.

She came closer to me carefully.

“Nothing, I was just watching you all,” I smiled, feeling her soft caresses.

Charlotte looked a bit confused, but kept caressing my cheeks gently, then leaned in and gave me a brief kiss on the lips.

“Thank you for this beautiful family. I love you so much, my love... You’ll always be my number one.”

I told her, still looking into those hazel eyes—the ones I fell in love with.

She smiled, melting my heart, and kissed me again.

“Thanks to you. We make a great team,” she whispered, and we both smiled. “Are you sure you’re okay? Or do you need more kisses?” she teased with a soft laugh.

“Yes, yes, and I’ll always want more of those… your kisses,” I answered, feeling my face heat up like the first time I ever saw her.

Before we could kiss again, Aoom spoke up.

“So… what were you looking at, Mama? You never answered,” she asked, curious and slightly blushing from how affectionate we were being.

“I was just thinking… that I have the best family in the world… and that I love you all with all my heart,” I admitted, looking at them.

“Group hug, Mama!” shouted my wife, leaning on my chest while hugging me—and soon they were all climbing onto the bed to smother me in love.

After that, we went to have breakfast and spent the rest of the day enjoying our time together as a family.

...

❝There’s no doubt that I achieved my dreams and goals with the person I love most in this life. We have, and continue to build, something beautiful… So I can truly say: dreams are real, and they can come true.❞

Whispered, finally, Engfa Waraha.
