"So your real name is Evelyn Miller? So you want to change your name?"
"No, I like my name now. I just want to know how my real parents look like. Are they still alive?"
"The police said there a family that lost their daughter 20 years ago and now you're 20 years old. Maybe they your family. Do you want to meet them?"

I think for a while. Do they want me again? Maybe they already replaced me?

"Think positive. They miss you. They must be happy to meet you again from all these years. I already got the location. Do you want to meet them?"
"I want to meet them."

20 after driving..

"Their house is with the white door."
"Do they really want to meet me again?"
"Of course! If they don't, they the one who lose not you."
"You right! I will know the real me!"

I get out from the car. Walk to the door. A lot of feelings in me.

(Knock, knock, knock)

I knock three times and wait. Then, a woman open the door.

"Yes? How can I help you?"
"Hello, my name is Coraline Brown. My real name supposed to be Evelyn Miller. Is this the Miller family?"

A old looking man join her at the door making me feel more nervous than before.

"Evelyn? Is that you?"

She hugged me and the man join her. I don't know what to do.

"It has been 20 years. We missed you. Who take care of you now?"
"I come with my boyfriend."

I show to Aaron's car. He get out from the car and come to me.

"Evel- I mean Coraline, let me introduce us. I'm your mother, Sophie Miller and this is my husband, Evan Miller. Coraline, I didn't care if you don't want to change your name but you need to change your family name. Welcome home Coraline."

"Mom! Who is that?!"
I heard a girl voice coming from inside.

"Coraline, this is your little sister, Isabella."
She's a teenager looking.

"Hi, Isabella. How old are you?"
"16."
She just four years after me.

"Come in!"
She welcome me into her house. We eat together and talk. Me and Isabella a little arkward at first. But we get a long we fast. I don't live together with them but I'm promise to visit them sometimes.

"Coraline, what your plan now?"
"Can you follow me to HQ Magazine company?"
"Ah, sure what do you want to do there?"

                . . .

"I want to stop from working with HQ Magazine."
"What?!"
"What?!"

The two people shock.

"Why? Do you have another job already?"
"Yes, but that's not why I want to stop."
"So why?"
"I realized that I have no time for my self. I also very tired and have no time for playing around with my full schedule. I hope you understand why I want to stop."
"I understand. You can go now."

I walk to the building entrance. I feel new. A new life, a new me. I work at my father company now as my father secretary.

"Coraline!"
"Yes?"
"You're a still a brave girl."
"I know."
I flipped my hair. And he laughed.
"Ouh, you legs bleeding again."
"Yeah, we need to go to the medical center."

At the medical center..

"Miss Coraline, after your cuts become scars, do you want to make an appointment for a laser treatment?"
"No need, everyone need a scar at least one. Even a tiny one."
"Very well miss Coraline. I leave you two."

I nodded as the doctor stand up and go away.

"Coraline, I know I've been stupid sometimes and treat you like a baby. I will take care of you very well and I hope you think about it before answer my question."

He kneeling down in front of me.

"Will you, Coraline Miller marry me?"
"Before I answer that, will you protect me if I marry you?"
"Yes I will protect you even if I need to give my life."
"If that so, I do."

Several years later..

I live with Aaron at my apartment. We live happy and Aaron still protect me. He's working as a English teacher at a highschool. We also got a daughter. Her name is Evelyn. Today is her 9 birthday.

"Happy birthday, Evelyn!"
"What do you want for your birthday?"
"A book."
"Storybook?"
"No, I want a writing book."
"You want a book for writing every year. What did you write on it?"
"Novels."
