36. Twenty-three already
"Happy Birthday momma!" Eren cheers excitedly as he appears in the kitchen on this early morning. His dark hair is sticking out in all direction, a large smile on his face. He dashes to me where I'm sitting at the table with Tamarra while drinking a hot cup of tea.
I've turned twenty three today. How time flies by.
When Eren reaches me, I put my cup of tea on the table and lean to him so that he can wrap his arms around my neck and gives me a soft kiss on cheek. "I love you so much my beautiful mom!"
"Thank you my cute, Eren." Smiling back, I pick him up and put him on my lap.
"This is my gift." He says, placing the piece of paper on the table to show me his drawing. I'm amazed on seeing the art he has created. It's a drawing where there is a woman holding a little boy's hand with a small house in the background and a big yellow sun in the blue sky.

Eren 37. The beach Spot
After locking my house securely, I slip the key in my pocket and walk to Erden as he is waiting for me on— "On Eren's bike." I burst out without thinking. Great. Your mouth really needs a filter Hayat. He slides up his tinted visor so that I can see the upper part of his face. The street lamps are casting enough light on his eyes for me to notice the sincerity in them. "I thought it would make you happy to ride on your ex-boyfriend's bike after so many years." Feeling ashamed, I bite on my tongue guiltily. "T-Thank you." Erden is just trying to help me. I'm not afraid to start something with him. I know he would make me happy and precisely, Eren. My son loves him so much and I'm sure he will be a good father to him. But I don't know why this is stressing me out. I just don't want to be with him just because he reminds me of Eren, just because he looks like him.
Eren 38. I'm his father
With tears in my eyes, heart pounding in my chest, I barge in the waiting room of the hospital with Erden by my side. There, Tamara is sitting by Toni, her head resting on his shoulder. Azure is also present, Troy sitting on his lap. They all jerk up from their chair as they notice my presence. Tamarra runs to me, her eyes flooding with tears. She reaches me and immediately throws herself in my arms, bursting into tears. "Hayat, I'm so sorry. Eren was playing with Troy and he fell from the stairs accidentally!" "It's okay Tamarra." I hug her back tightly, holding back my tears. "It's not your fault." She pulls out of the hug, wiping her tears. "What the doctor said till now?" I ask, my hand gently touching her arm. She shuts her eyes briefly. "The doctor said that because of his young age, the impact when he fell caused a head trauma. He can't say anything for sure now.
Eren 39. Your Eren is not leaving you
Eren "Goodbye...Eren." She turns and walks away. I watch her in despair till my vision becomes blurred with tears. She then disappears completely as my eyes are overflooded. It's as if somebody just stabbed me in the heart, rending me paralysed. I can't breath, I can't think, I can't live. My body feels so weak, like my soul just left it. A lump is formed in my throat as I'm about to break into tears. I inhale and exhale several times, searching to control myself but with her gorgeous face in my mind and that of our son, it's unbearable. Succumbing, I fall down on my knees and finally cry my heart out, tears deluding down my cheeks like a waterfall. I punch the ground once, twice, but the pain in my heart is still here. I punch a couple of times more, but I can't get rid of this ache. Like an injured dog, I howl my heart out in the darkness of thi
Eren 40. Listen to him
In the afternoon, Eren was authorized to return home. Words can't describe how relieved and happy I'm to have him back home with me. "I'm going to make some soup for you." I say, kissing the top of his forehead. "You don't get out of bed okay?" He nods slightly, hugging tightly his teddy bear. In the kitchen, I begin to peel and cut some vegetables when the doorbell suddenly rings. Surely Tamarra. I quickly wipe my hands in a towel and go to open. "Where is the little prince?" Azure barges in as I open the door followed by Toni. Toni and Tamarra were with me when I brought Eren home. I close the door, my eyes narrowing at Azure. "Why does Toni needs to guard you?" He inhales a sharp breath, rubbing the back of his nape. "We both need to talk to you." I raise a curious brow. He tends me a pack
Eren 41. Revelations
After our son slept, Eren came back to tell me the story of his disappearance Grabbing some drinks, we go on the roof to have a peaceful discussion. We take a seat on the small bench, facing each other. There is an awkward silence between us which makes me look around, eagerly waiting for him to start. I notice that the sky is of a reddish colour tonight as it's about to rain. It matches the thrilling atmosphere which surrounds Eren's mystery. "Hayat," he calls out softly, breaking the silence. He tries to reach for my hand but I quickly fold my arms, not allowing him to touch me. A part of me just want to hear him with a ray of hope in my heart that the light of the candle is still on for us, to brighten our future together. But another part of me is not sure that I will believe whatever he will tell me. This part of me won't let him fool me. He breathes out defeatedly and clasps his hands together as his legs are spread. "This st
Eren 42. Reality is finally better
"I was going crazy, but I didn't show it. I waited for the right moment to execute my plan." My head is throbbing as I keep hearing all what he had endured.Why they did this to him. He didn't deserve this. Eren sighs more determinedly this time. "By the end of the third year, the favorable mission finally came. I was ordered to kill the leader mafia of the enemy gang to which they owed millions. It was to prove them that I was really one of them, to make them proud that we were all of the same blood. But I would never be able to kill someone in my life." My eyes narrowed curiously. "As per my brothers plan, I went there to pretend that I'm returning the leader his money. My brothers were supposed to barged in with weapons behind his men. And at that moment, I should have to bury the knife which I was hiding in him." My heart skips a beat.No, no, no. He didn't do that. Eren smirks proudly which reassures me
Eren 43. Do you believe me, Hayat?
My nostrils flare at the good smell.What's that- My eyes snap wide. I shot up from the bed and look around the room in confusion. Beside me, little Eren is spread like an octopus, snoring softly. Erden has already woken up.What is he making in the kitchen so early? I tiptoe out of the room so that I don't wake up Eren. After adjusting my hair quickly, I walk downstairs to the kitchen and find the talk brunet in front of the table, his head down as he busies himself by settling the table. "Good morning." I let out in confusion. "You're an early bird today." His head flicks up and a welcoming smile appears on his face at the sight of me. "Hey, good morning." He greets chirpily. He seems unusually happy. "Breakfast is ready!" The table he is gesturing at consists of chocolate pancakes, some French toasts accompanied by a big bowl of cut-off fresh fruits. For the drinks, there are steamy-hot of coffees
Eren 44. A new start
One month later. With a warm, blissful feeling in my chest, I watch Eren as he is applying some birthday cake cream on our son's face, who is then groaning as he is trying to clean the cream from his eyes. Toni is meanwhile recording this scene with his new camera while Troy is sitting on his shoulder, laughing on the birthday boy. Tamarra in on the other hand, distributing small cakes to the guests, stopping by Azure and Ludmilla to talk a bit. Yeah.Unbelievably, Azure and Ludmilla is a thing. I don't know how and where this fire started, but I'm happy that they started afresh with their love life. After all,it's a new start. Blessed, I close my eyes for some seconds and smile gratefully.Thank you so much for this happiness, god. I just wish you were here with us, dad. We miss you so much. "Mommy, mommy!" My thoughts are interrupted when I hear little Eren calling me, heavy
