WAKE YOUR DREAMS

(Side story)

*.·:·.✧.·:·.*

Zehan stepped out of the taxi. After paying the bill, he started walking towards the apartment buildings.

They had moved to this new apartment a month ago. This apartment condo was larger than their previous flat.

The fresh aroma of pine trees began to fill the air as he slowly made his way down the road leading to the apartments. It was a private road which leads towards the apartment complex.

There were few pedestrians as it was afternoon.

Zehan was lost in the tranquil beauty of the scenery. A faint smile appeared on his face when he spotted a woman walking ahead the road. It was Kiyoko with baby Akito in her arms.

"Kiyoko…" He called out.

The moment Kiyoko caught sight of him, she waved her hand, and their son Akito, in her arms, mimicked her. He waved both of his hands towards his father with a big smile on his face.

Kiyoko walked towards Zehan. She walked in a normal way even while carrying Akito, who grew heavier every day.

Zehan slowed down in his tracks. For a moment, his eyes captured a radiant image of her walking down the path, past the flickering shadows of the lovely trees. The light breeze messed with her hair.

Kiyoko chatted and laughed with their son before slowly put him down in the ground.

"Daddy…!" Akito's shout broke the quiet slumbering afternoon. The child broke free from his mother's grasp and ran towards his father with arms wide open.

Zehan lifted up Akito with a smile. He marveled at how much stronger and sure-footed his son had become, making it quite a distance without tripping.

"Daddy…" Baby Akito grinned and waved at him, then happily hugged his father. Zehan picked his son in his arms.

"Are you having a walk with your Mommy?" Zehan smiled and asked, and cuddled his son's soft cheeks.

Zehan reached out and took Kiyoko's hand.

"How did the opening ceremony go?" Kiyoko asked.

"It was a success." Zehan replied. Zehan have started an art academy of his own. It was his dream which finally came true.

"Do you have a night shift today?" Zehan asked.

"No…I am free tonight!"

"Let's go out for a dinner tonight?"

"Alright…!" Kiyoko agreed with a smile.

Together, the three of them began walking hand in hand along the road, basking in the late summer sun.

Zehan turned his head and looked down at his wife walking along with him. Her gaze met his with a fiery intensity.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zehan teased, but Kiyoko was undeterred.

"You are looking handsome in this suit." she responded confidently.

With a bold laugh, she grabbed Zehan's hand and pulled him along the lonely road, exchanging silly jokes and laughter as they walked side by side, turning the once peaceful road into a hubbub.

Zehan pulled Kiyoko into a tender kiss. She loved the sweetness and intimacy of their kiss, the way their lips brushed and their breath mingled.

"Daddy…" Akito's sudden heartbreaking cry broke the silence. The child started whining just as their lips were about to touch again.

"Daddy...Daddy…" He was wriggling in his father's arms, wanting his own kiss from his father. "…me!" with a pout on his face, he looked at his dad and then pointed his little finger towards his plump cheek.

"Your son loves you so much." Kiyoko looked on at the two men with warmth in her heart.

Zehan smiled and planted a kiss on his son's cheek. Akito began to laugh and clapped excitedly, he was happy with the love he received.

"Won't Akito give his mommy a kiss?" Kiyoko chuckled.

Akito understood the words of his mother leaned towards Kiyoko. Kiyoko moved her chin close to Akito so that Akito could give her a kiss.

"Thank you!" Kiyoko patted Akito on his head.

Together, the three of them walked through the quite road, their hearts full of love, hope and excitement for the future.
