Chapter 26

Samuel's POV

The blaring alarm went off, tearing my eardrums apart and for the first time in my life, I was actually excited to wake up. I didn't have to smash the alarm clock with my fist until the annoying sound of the alarm stops. I sat on my bed and stretched my arms wide. A long yawn escaped from my mouth. This is the day I've been waiting for. This is the day I've planned to propose to Celestine. A grin surfaced on my face as soon as the thought popped in my head. I exuberantly rose to my feet and headed off to the bathroom to take an early shower.

Celestine's POV                                                                   

I rolled to my side and hugged the downy pillow I had since I was a child. The nostalgia I had for years was finally gone. I was happy to be back home. I heard a knock on my door, grabbing me out of my thoughts. I swung my head to the door and saw my mum casually walked towards me with a wicked smile. My mum's definitely up to something. She ran up to my bed and started tickling me as if I was her five year old daughter. I certainly missed this. My mum surely knew how to start my day. We ended up sharing uncontrollable laughing fits. We were panting hard, trying to catch our breath. Then, Dad walked in and joined the short family bonding time.  Seven years of not seeing them was totally unbearable.

"I prepared breakfast. Let's go," my mum said as she struggled to get off my bed. My dad helped her and they both stood up, looking at me.

"We're happy you're back," My dad said, resting his arm over my mum's shoulders.

"I'm happy to be back too, Dad. I missed you so much," I said, smiling.

They left my room and I took my phone to ring Samuel. Just a day without him suddenly felt so strange to me like I wasn't myself.

He did not answer any of my calls. I was so worried so I left eight voicemails, telling him to call me back as soon as possible and I even sent him texts.  I placed the phone back to where I took it and went to the bathroom before heading off to the dining room to eat breakfast.

Samuel's POV

After buttoning the last button on my top, I went to the kitchen to eat some breakfast. To my surprise, I saw my Dad sitting in the dining room with a newspaper and a cup of coffee. He doesn't usually eat breakfast and he doesn't usually wake up this early especially on Saturdays. I don't know what to tell him and I don't know how to explain to him what happened to Tyler. So, I tiptoed to the kitchen to avoid any conversation with him, trying my best not to make any sound. When I was already in the kitchen, I saw a woman wearing a white apron, cooking, her back facing me. Where the heck is Kevin? Maybe Dad fired him that's why he was up so early. No way. Kevin's the best cook we've ever had. I sneaked beside the woman and poked her shoulder. She turned on her heel and faced me. My face vigorously lit up. My lips reached my ears. I was overjoyed to see my sister in front of me. I didn't see her for years.
