Diary Entries

Narrated in Ashley's POV

We are in New York City!
It should be an exciting statement but all I feel is frightened. It is scary. What are we going to do here?
The only hope I have is Christopher!
I really wish everything to go well!

...

If there was one thing I'm excited about right now, is that how we are going to live here after. I feel everything perfect.
Christopher showed me our office. That name board with my name carved.
My Mr. Husband knows how to surprise!!

Wait! We haven't got married.

Dear diary, writing in you gives me more ideas.
I guess it is time for me to surprise.

....

I'm really excitingly nervous!
In another two hours, I'm going to be his wife.

...

Life shouldn't be such cruel.
I don't want to tell him.
I don't want us to go back there.
Not to where everything we did is going to be regretted.
I want him to be happy.
I know I made a mistake by hiding his father's death but can't it just get delayed by one night?
It is our marriage day after all.

...

I am here after a long time, diary. I can't think of me when everything important is about him.

He is better now.
That is all I can say.
And about me. I am sad that this isn't what we planned for.

...

I felt the baby kick.

...

It is a girl.
And today when he kissed me, I felt a little more passionate him because he is a father.

He said, "I'm going to giving her a world full of happiness and her mother, all my love."

He has his way with words.

...
...
...

I miss Christopher. He is off to a business trip for three days.

...

I never thought I would meet him.
Addin, my brother. I missed him. He was in a hospital because he wasn't well and suddenly he disappeared.
My parents looked for him all these years but they couldn't find him.
And today, he stood in front of my door.

He was playing with Olivia. It was emotional to have a family member carry Olivia.
...

Talking to Ester made me realize that what it feels to have family member in our house.

But it triggered a question what if Christopher becomes upset and got reminded of his family?

He is close with them.

Anyway he doesn't know about Addin. Let it be that way.

I am hiding it again. Because I want him to be happy again.
