"Honey, you have me, Aurora, Avery and both of my mothers. Even they're really are not your real mothers but they also love you dearly like their own children."
"Look, they also treat Sarah like their own child too; when you're not here they worry about you too." Averill added, she knew that both of her mothers loved Eliza very much.
Eliza also didn't deny Averill's words because both her mother-in-law really cared about her. There were always times when she was need them and was willing to take time off to take care of her while giving birth to Aurora.
Averill always reassured her of people who cared about her and loved her. Averill kept reminding her of that question.
Averill didn't want her to feel unloved in a situation where confidence and support were so important to her.
They then left the office to accompany Aurora and Avery for a while before going to see Sarah.
They drove there and parked the car near the cafe. They observed the situation around the cafe and felt that the place was still the same except that the existing university building had been added and repainted. At this time, there were also many university students walking through where they both parked their car.
"The environment at this university hasn't changed much, right?" Averill asked her, sitting up in the car seat as she unbuckled the seat belt. She wears dark glasses while smiling sweetly at her wife. Her beautiful eyebrows were raised as she looked at Eliza who gently pinched her on the cheek.
"There are something also changes, just not as much as before. When we were studying here, many buildings were built"
"That's right, honey."
"Sarah has arrived, baby? I can't see either or she parked here or maybe somewhere else." She asked Averill who was now yawning as she covered her mouth. The one who saw was laughing at Avrill who was yawning.
"Who told you to sleep late last night?" She was still laughing while holding her stomach.
Suddenly Averill bent her body and whispered in her ear and saying "Honey, yesterday your baby worked overtime. It's not like you refuse me but you sounded very excited actually, hmm."
"Baby.." She reprimanded slowly while gently pushing Averill's body that was crushing her and Averill fingers touching another part lazyly.
"I still remember that time, honey. Honey, was pregnant with Aurora, we.." Before she could finish her words, her mouth was covered by her wife using both of her palms. The words she said were inaudible and only vague.
Her wife's face was red at that time and due to being too angry she bit her neck leaving bite marks.
"Honey!" Averill yelled who felt a bite on her neck at that moment. She rubbed the traces slowly and took her mobile phone to use for looked at her neck on the cellphone camera. The bite marks look red and there also the tone of the tooth marks.
She smiled mischievously and hugged her wife tightly, then began to lick Eliza's cheek. Eliza screamed loudly when she felt Averill's stuck tongue come out and lick it.
"Baby, you're like a dog who likes to lick others." She took a tissue and wiped the saliva that stuck to her cheek.
"No matter what kind of dog I am, I'm still your favorite dog, honey." She said proudly while laughing heartily at her wife who was still wiping the drool on her wife's cheek.
There was a knock on the car mirror and she lowered the car mirror. She saw a tall woman who knocked on her car earlier smiling. The woman has tan skin, long red hair, blue eyes. Her body was lean like that of a leading investigator. She opened the car door and screamed with joy. "Sarah Anderson!!". Sarah was also very excited to see Averill. The two of them hugged and the two women who were standing watching their behavior were both sour. Eliza cleared her throat and Averill, who was listening, released her hug from her friend. She introduced Eliza to Sarah. "This is Eliza, I think you remember. He always came to our apartment during university."
"Yes. I remember she was your girlfriend from high school." Sarah said with a big smile.
"Eliza, how are you now?" She asked politely as she looked at Eliza without blinking.
"I feel good after returning to my family especially, Averill."
"Caroline. Thank you" said Eliza and hugged Caroline who was standing next to Sarah.
"This is Caroline, my wife. This is Averill's first time meeting with my wife, isn't it?" She joked while lightly punching Averill's shoulder.
"Yes. Didn't even know you were married. Oh! Let's go to the café. The weather is very hot now," she said.
"As a friend, you should send an invitation to me" She held her wife's hand and headed to the Café.
Sarah and her wife do not hold hands like they do because of their status now even though they are married but many eyes are watching. Despite the fact that she is already said to have died, there may be some people who still suspect her existence even though her face is now much more mature than before.
The cafe at this time already has many customers visiting because usually at noon the students have finished class. Most of the customers are students from the university. This café is become the place for every students not only from the medical faculty but from other faculties. As soon as they entered the cafe, many eyes were looking at the four of them whether or not they could be said to be in the category of charming women. They wondered who the customers of the four women were and became interested in getting to know them.
"Who are they? They look mature and very graceful."
"I have never seen them visit this café before."
"Perhaps they are former students here?"
Regardless of women and men, their attention is focused on them. Their eyes could not look anywhere else except in front of the door where the four women had entered. They look very professional and most likely already working. It can be seen from their serious expressions and standing with a very confident style.
Various audible whispers reached their ears but they just let it go because their goal was to come to this café to discuss something with Sarah. They chose a table in the back corner far from the students who were eating to avoid their discussion being overheard by the students there. Their seats are in the back corner and if you don't see well, you won't be able to catch a glimpse of the four of them. The waitresses who work at the café go directly to their table while carrying a small tablet to type the menu ordered by the customer and also the menu book. Usually the students only need to go to the front desk to order the food they want to eat but this time when they see customers who are not students; they look very professional so they should be treated well at this café. This cafe is rarely visited by customers who are not students, so this is a golden opportunity for them to promote the cafe.
They have already sat at the chosen table, there are four chairs arranged facing each other, so the four of them also sit facing each other. Actually they wanted to sit with other couples but when thinking about their real situation Averill asked her wife's permission to sit next to Sarah. Eliza also understood her wife's meaning and did not ask many questions. Caroline also understood Sarah's condition at that moment and gave a sweet smile to her wife. So by mutual understanding they started to sit, Averill sat next to Sarah and Caroline and Eliza also sat opposite. They now sat opposite each other and were only separated by a rectangular table.
As soon as they sat down, the waitress also came to take the food order. She stood next to Averill's seat and smiled sweetly. Averill who felt someone standing next to her raised her head to see who the brave woman was standing next to her as her wife sat right in front of her now. She saw a young woman smiling sweetly at her while carrying a small tablet in her arms while placing the menu she had brought with her earlier on the table. Averill who saw her smiling sweetly at her only thought that she was smiling at the customer and that is also one of the criteria that a waitress, sales, waiter or anyone who deals with customers should have.
She felt that the waitress was a very professional person and she returned the smile, you could see the curve on her red lips. Eliza who saw also felt a twinge in her heart when she saw the waitress smiling sweetly at Averill, and Averill also smiled back. She looked at Averill who was sitting across from her, her hand stretched out on the table, while the other hand was raised and her palm supported his chin while the waitress was still smiling sweetly. Eliza who saw the scene that hurt her eyes then put her hand on the table slowly and moved her hand slowly towards Averill's hand which was straightened on the table, reached it and pinched it gently. Averill who felt her hand being pinched, by someone and knew it was Eliza's doing, she sat up well, straight and the smile that was etched on her lips disappeared immediately.
Sarah and Caroline who saw their behavior smiled funny and they were amused to see the two of them. In Caroline's eyes, Sarah rarely laughs or smiles after what happened before. When she saw the light of joy that radiated on the face of the woman she loved so much she felt very happy at least that besides being with her, Sarah also had a good friend who was able to make her happy. Sarah is a good person and quite straightforward but since she trained as an investigator she began to grow in confidence and with the help of Caroline's parents, Sarah was also able to pursue her dream of becoming a surgeon.
The waitress who saw Averill smiling at her, suddenly the smile disappeared after she look at the beautiful woman was pinched by the woman sitting across from her. She began to wonder if the four of them were like close friends but why the woman pinched the hand of the woman who returned her smile. If they are lovers then she has no chance. Here nothing is impossible between the same sex, if you want to establish a relationship because it is well accepted by community but there are also half who still feel that the act is wrong and violates the laws of nature. This is the opinion of the baby boomers and Generation X. They live to see it as a mistake but as a young generation in their eyes it is normal.
She looked at the woman who was smiling at her earlier and the woman who pinched the hand then said softly to her with a not so happy smile. Just smile at her out of respect for the workers at the café.
"Averill, may you introduce your wife to the waitress." She said spoiled while winking at Averill who was in front of her who was serious, feeling that there was something wrong with her wife. She quickly got up from the chair and saw the waitress, walked towards her wife's seat. She bent her body and wrapped her arms around her wife's shoulders from behind, then said politely.
"This is Rose, she is my wife and we have been married for 7 years." She introduced Eliza to the waitress who smiled sweetly at her then when she heard the description of the woman called by Rose who was called by Averill's is actually her wife. She called her wife Rose because she didn't want anyone else to know that she was the sole heir to B-Technology. It's better if she introduces her by using her wife's middle name whose face is quite charming now.
