Opportunities...Adventures

I am so stupid that I didn't hear Belle out. She was telling the truth that she didn't plan it to happen. I also checked her and Shoji's past when they were little, He was really head over heels toward my baby. She might have had an infatuation but when she found me on Lake Nijori, she found the one tru love she wished for in her thoughts ever since her father died. She always cry at night, missing her dad and hid herself from the people she loves because she wanted to portray a happy, confident woman in spite of the sadness, loneliness of not having someone beside her. When she found and loved me, she was inspired and wanted to start a new, happy and positive life with her angel, me.

With my power of invisibility, I went to her bedroom and watched her sleep. She looked peaceful but her eyes are swollen, hmm! Maybe she cried all the time, many times missing me. Poor baby. It took me a year to come back to her. But I am here now Belle. I love you and I am here for you. I've come home.

As if maybe Belle felt Mark with her. She woke up and saw his face in front of her. She suddenly stood as if shocked and touched my face, then pinched my cheeks, her eyes were as wide as an owl. It is really you, I thought I was dreaming!, Maa....Belle, hasn't finished talking when I kissed her lips and hugged her so tight since I missed her so much. I am sorry Mark, I didn't mean to hurt you! She said but I stopped her because I saw with my own eyes what really happened between Shoji and her that night at the factory. She was still crying when I held her face and cupped her cute and sweet face, then kissed it again and again until she laughed and got tickled when I slowly went down to kiss her neck too.

Belle was speechless but I know she is very happy and so relieved that I am alive. I continued kissing her and I wanted to make her feel how much I love and miss her, so we made love. Then, another round, and another until the next day.

I have dreamed of Mark and everyday as if he is here with me, loving and protecting me, but why did he leave? He saw Mark moving farther and farther away from her and, Huh!!!, Belle galloped when she saw Mark beside her. She thought all was just a dream. Mark is with her and their love making was real. Um! Not to mention, they did it several times I've lost count, hihi! Belle thought embarrassed but felt so happy and tingly inside because Mark has finally come home to her.

I wonder what happened to him and he decided to come back after a year, I was wondering, when Mark moved to face me and his body swerved to face mine, his breathe is what I hear and feel 2 inches away from where I was laying. I think we both fell on the floor after the ....ahhh!! Oh my....I still am so naked but feel amazing by his touch on my body and still see how he did me vividly. He looks so amazing, hmm, a bit thinner but still muscular.

Why are you still up? Mark whispered when I touched his hair and his face, and he was trying to bite my finger, which I immediately pulled away and got scared when he spoke. Shi*....you scared me. Since the light in my room is dim and what we can only see is the full moon shining brightly this evening, everything is magical.

Why took so long to come back to me? What happened? I added when he hugged me closely to his chest and then kissed my forehead.

Well...I had to think things through after what happened between you and Shoji, I got jealous and angry. And I wanted to cool down plus I don't want to hurt you in the process, Mark said with sadness in his tone.

Hmm! that's a weird way for you to cool down, it took you a year to forgive me. And you should've talked to me first, and all, I said while playing with my finger on his muscled chest which he smiled a bit when he got tickled by it.

Yes, I'm sorry, Belle, I love you and nothing can change that. I had help from my friends and God about the situation. So I was definitely enlightened, why I came back. If I can turn back time, I would. Okay, check this out, I didn't know I can do this but close your eyes and I'll let you see something beautiful.

Oh, okay!, I said laughing because Mark is so excited to let me see what he can do, like a child with a new toy.

I saw like in a dream, I can see Mark, me and a little girl. We are so happy running in a garden full of beautiful colourful flowers. I think it's the small hut I inherited from Papa. It seems different, bigger and wider. The hut is now a two storey house with a small yacht in front of the house facing Lake Nijori. Trees and plants still grow there and ...

Mama, Papa, I love, Mama, Papa....the little girl said...smiling at me and Mark lively, sweetly and cutely.

Oh, my, Mark....haha! I said closing my eyes and the vision is gone. I was teary eyed but very happy to see my future with him. A baby girl huh!, I said while caressing my tummy. Unmei! (Destiny), I love you, I loveeee you...I added looking at Mark, kissing him lovingly.

Mama, Ojichan and Shita with my friends Kouku who finally married Vita, Shoji and Sayaka who are now engaged, Auntie and several friends and family from Sun lineage came to Mark and I's wedding. It was just a simple and private wedding, like the usual get together we do in Sun Villa. Mark's friends Noriel and Bedoin came and introduced themselves as Mark's brothers, though I know that they are angels from the courts of heaven. It's okay. Well, Mark explained to me everything a week before our special day and they are very welcome and is already part of the family. Shita seems very fond of Noriel, besides they are of the same age. I think everything will turn out great after this.

What do you think?

A/R I think it's beautiful and I believe everything will turn out great, I am happy for you both, Congratulations!

I pursued my education and took up major in History and Literature Studies. Mark is now the co-owner of our book shop while still running errands with Noriel and Bedoin doing God's work . I still fought for nature and a feminist by organizing a feminine group to fight for equal rights for men and women. Baby Unmei is now three years old and Mama with Ojichan who is moving on to his elderly age lovingly take care of her while Mark and I are away for work and school.

At first I thought I lost hope in finding true love and a good life. But finding Mark, Mortha, a fallen angel, showed me that the finest things in life is free, possible and the best memory I had giving me the most wonderful experience, and there's more to come, I know. So, don't lose hope. Everything happens for a reason, my Papa's death wasn't the end, it was just a beginning.
