Jonathan rushed out of the crowd as soon as he saw that Amelie and Axel were no longer there. The man approached his car at a slight jog while looking around but did not find Amelie and her son among the pedestrians there. Wasting no time, the man got in and slammed the car door. He started the engine and hit the gas pedal at 40. His two blue beads did not stop combing the streets he traveled. He felt a sigh of disappointment when he arrived at an intersection. Amelie was nowhere to be found. The sound of other vehicles honking annoyed Jonathan as it interrupted his concentration on whether to turn right or left. "Shit!" he swore as he looked back through the rearview mirror. A man stopped his car right behind Jonathan's, poking his head out of the window."Hey, man, you're in my way." The man gave him a middle finger, which instantly annoyed Jonathan."Save your energy, Jo; you have important things to take care of! You'd better turn left," Jonathan monologued as he convinced him

That afternoon, Axel, who was in a group of other students, smiled broadly. Axel was unusually cheerful today. "Hey, Axel, throughout the lesson, I saw you keep smiling. You even followed the lesson happily," asked Lolita, who was walking on Axel's left. Nora, who had similar thoughts with Lolita, nodded in confirmation. "Yes, what Lolita said is true. You've been smiling all day. Look over there," Nora pointed to a spot where Amelie usually stood, waiting for Axel to get out of class. "Usually you'd be sad when your mom hadn't come to pick you up." "That's true. But this time, my dad picked me up." Axel replied proudly. Nora and the other kids were stunned and looked at each other. "Really?" asked Nora with a look of disbelief. "Yes, it is." Axel nodded in agreement. The children who were in the same group as Axel looked around for the male entity Axel was referring to, but they felt familiar with the faces they encountered."Which one is your father?" asked Nora impatiently.

How does it feel to survive in the shadow of regret? Can you still feel peace when the bitterness of regret seems to suffocate you and force you to end the day right then and there? Jonathan was stunned, with both hands in his pants pockets. His eyes gazed at the view of Auckland from the top of the company building. The weather was a little hot, and the sun was shining brightly enough to make him dazzle. He almost closed his eyes, but he was reluctant to go into his room. He needed time to be alone at the moment.An elderly man walked up to Jonathan with a proud smile on his face. He didn't think the decision to give Jonathan leave was the right one. The proof was that Jonathan was in better shape and as productive as ever."I'm proud of the walking target you achieved this month, Jo. I didn't expect you to rise so quickly." with both hands in his pants pockets, Edmund said. Staring straight at the young man, who did not even turn to look at him,."No need to overdo it, Father; it's

Sometimes, silence comes without the intention of torture. Silence comes to teach you that you have to savor every moment of togetherness before it brings regret for the moments of togetherness that you have neglected. Jonathan sat back in his oversized chair. The day seemed passionless. The man twirled the chair he was sitting in lazily; all the wheels on the chair's legs seemed to swing to give him comfort, obeying where the man's legs pushed them to roll.A month had passed by by the time Jonathan returned to Auckland. Not a single word had come from Axel and Amelie. He stared at the black phone screen on the table and reached for it. Not a single notification had come in, as if the silence was laughing at him. Jonathan opened the lock screen on his smartphone and searched for Amelie's name in the contacts. The man's thumb stopped scrolling when it came to Amelie's name. He wanted to call the number, but his heartbeat seemed to prevent him from having the courage to make a phone

"So, what are you going to do after this?" Marie asked while looking straight at Jonathan. He looked much calmer than when they first met. "I'll try to win she back, Gran." Jonathan's hands twisted together on his lap. "After winning my granddaughter's heart, what will you do if one day a much more beautiful woman comes to you?" Marie's eyelids, full of age wrinkles, narrowed, staring intently at the man in front of her as if interrogating. "I promise I will ignore that woman. Parting with Amelie made me lose half my life." hyperbole in Jonathan's parable. "If I knew she would fight that hard and choose to keep our child, maybe I would have chosen to go with her from the beginning. Regardless of my mother's decision not to consider me as her child after that," "Even if you live in hardship with Amelie after that? What if you were living on the streets after that?""Yes. It's much better than losing her and Axel." Jonathan replied without hesitation. His earnestness was so visible

Amelie woke up and was surprised to find that her body position had changed. Amelie and Jonathan had their arms around each other. She immediately threw off Jonathan's burly arms that were hugging her body. "How can you hug me that easily? You pervert," Amelie grumbled as she walked to the toilet. The sound of the water tap and the cold temperature of the water touching her skin instantly brought her full consciousness back. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Amelie patted her face and instantly groaned as the pats stung."Aw!" The pain she felt made her realize that the night she had spent with Jonathan was not a dream; it was a reality. Even the slap on her cheek left a red mark. Amelie's eyes were closed, with both hands supporting her body on the edge of the sink. A question that niggled at her heart arose. Was meeting Jonathan again a destiny?Amelie sighed as she walked back to her room. But when she arrived at the door, she heard Jonathan talking to someone on the

It was a very happy day for Axel. He could spend the weekend with his parents in the places he loved, something that had always been a dream of his since he often questioned his father's whereabouts."Dad, do you know? Today I'm so happy to be able to go on an excursion with my parents." Axel muttered on the way home. A moment after that, Axel yawned, and slowly his eyes closed.Jonathan stroked Axel's head as he sat on Amelie's lap, with one hand on the steering wheel. "I'm very happy too, sweetheart. We can have a three-day weekend after such a long day." Amelie smiled. She silently agreed that she felt the same way."He's asleep, Jo," Amelie whispered as she stroked Axel's head. The hair she was holding had grown longer; as Amelie recalled, it was only two months ago that she took Axel to the barbershop.The wheels continued to roll, and as Amelie looked out the window, she realized that it wasn't the way home. She refrained from asking; perhaps Jonathan wanted to buy something b

She hurriedly cleaned herself up after her struggle with Jonathan last night.Under the shower that splashed her body with water, Amelie closed her eyes. She recalled the events of last night and cursed herself for easily letting Jonathan enjoy her body. 'Stupid, stupid Amelie, what if he leaves you again after this?
