green eyes

epilogue

When I was a kid, I used to think I will never have a child on my own. I used to think that I'll always have my brother by my side, I used to think that I'll keep having mom and dad by my side, when I said mom, I mean Mary, I never in my life think that I'm having broken apart family.

The moment when I'm growing up, I used to think the world will be better without me. That I never deserve this kind of pain, I used to think that I will never taking this much of part on somebody's life. That I will never mean a thing.

But when I woke up on the hospital bed after commas for a year, I realized that this world too big to live alone. Even though I never knew God's plan for me.

I fell in love when I'm in high school to the guy I still in love with. He makes me feel different, he makes me feel love and he turn my life upside down. He never cease to make me feel happy. Sometimes in my dreams I always thought about having family with him and growing old and just to live in the countryside together and becoming old with bunch of grandchildren.

But now we had different path of live, we having family of our own and I believe we never cross that path anymore. The memories still dance in my head, the memories that once gone but comes back as the time flies.

Ivy Siren Johnson, born March 28th 2017, after we married for seven months. The emerald eyes, chocolate brown curls, small nose and strong features. He gave me something to always remember, that we once in love.

***

Ivy is ten months now, living in grand life her parents gave her. I know giving her so much of grand life will effects on her childhood, and will change the way she will growing up. But we tried on our best to keep up with the simple life, being the simplest family that won't give her the thought of she's better than anyone, we don't want our children to be that way.

I'm two months now and I'm working on the bakery I own. I always want to be bakeries, and I want Ivy to handle it, once when she's adult and responsible.

With Jackson friend's help, we could have this space with low cost. Mr. Payne or he insist me to call him, Liam.

"Chris Hamburg," A feminine voice called from behind as I'm out of the car. I turn around to see the person I never thought will see again, Chantelle. "Or Chriseve Rose"

"And Chantelle, it's been awhile" I smile and walk to the Bakery. I heard her footsteps follows me as I walk to the Bakery. As i foot in, my worker greet me makes Chantelle give me her signature smirk.

"You own this place?"

I nodded and turn the ac on, Chantelle stand in front the register with her hand on her hips.

"My wife loved this place and she's been wondering who's behind the curtains. And if I told her I know the person well she will jumping happily"

"And I would love to meet her"

She laughs, and order a lot of croissants and puff pastry. She said she's on her way to Amber's office and drop a breakfast for her.

"Hey, I meet your husband yesterday at the hospital and he said you're two months pregnant"

I smiled before nodding, "He never shut up about it, every time he meets someone and that person asking about me, he'll told him about Ivy and me and my pregnancy"

"I'm happy for you Chris, and I want to apologise about what I've done to you when we're young and I never believe that's how I grows"

"Chan, it's okay, I've forgive you, all of you, perhaps, we got to be happy. Maybe in our past we have bad terms but look at us now, we're friend's and that's cue for us to forget about it"
