After the party Janet and Dylan went back to their home.. Their home was neither luxurious nor a cheap one. A typical European style house in the middle of a small garden and grass rooted ground.They constructed this home only two years ago after financially getting stronger. There was some security around the house and a few cars and a bike. As the car parked in the parking area Janet got from the car and walked inside the house without waiting for Dylan.

The interior designs and the inside view of the house was giving a warm and cosy feeling to others… with some plants near the window sides and the living room. Janet was very fond of plants so she decorated the house with plants. She also has a special glass room for plants where Janet loved to spend time other than her study.

Janet walked to the study room to keep her stuff and files because she didn't come straight home after going to the office from court. The study room was a large room which partitioned into two stories. But the whole study room was filled with an infinite number of books. Most of them were references and books related to law and others were some fiction and novellas. Other than planting, reading is another hobby of Janet. So Dylan prepared a small library for her along with her reference book. There was a piano near the stairs. It was the birthday gift Janet gave to Dylan last year. Well Dylan can play piano very well and Janet is a huge fan of his music.

Janet climbed the stairs to the study upstairs. Because the downstairs was used by Dylan and the upper one was by Janet. Because Dylan wanted to see his Jane all the time even if they were working. The whole house was designed and constructed like they wanted. It was their dream home which they dreamed of when they were in university. A house full of warmth and love.

After settling things in the study she walked to their bedroom which looked elegant and luxurious. Janet heard the sound of dripping water from the washroom. So she took her dress and moved into another washroom in the next room. Because the party dress and makeup were giving her an itchy feeling.

After taking a refreshing bath Janet walked to the kitchen, feeling hungry because she didn't have anything in the party. More specifically, her gloomy mood didn't let her have anything. As the maids were already asleep she didn't bother to wake them up. She prepared some spicy noodles and sat on the dine table which was not much far from the kitchen. The house was constructed more by the likes of Janet and that's why it was not a luxurious one. She wanted their home simple and cosy. A house becomes a home only when the people living inside love each other and care for each other. And Janet wanted a home not a house.

She was having her dinner peacefully when Dylan came there with a chuckle.

-” Are you still hungry..? “

-” Well I didn't have anything at the party. You must have missed it.”

Janet said with a meaningful smile. But she knew he won't realise the sarcasm in her words. As expected Dylan smiled at her words and looked at his phone. He was watching some video of a child and suddenly he asked…

-” Jane, are you pregnant..? Is that why you feel hungry… ? When are you going to give me a baby…?“

Janet stopped chewing her food for a second and dropped the fork in the bowl. She looked at Dylan for a second which made Dylan skip a heartbeat.

-” I don't think so.. “

That's the only thing she said in reply. Janet got up from the chair without finishing her noodles and walked to her room. Dylan ran behind her to stop her. He grabbed her by hand but Janet shook off his hands and laid on the bed.

-'' Jane, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. “ Dylan sat beside Janet. Her back was facing him.

-” It's okay, lang… I just.. I just can't get over it. I'm sorry for overreacting.” Janet said with a hoarse voice.

Dylan turned her body to face him and wiped her tears…

-” Don't cry. You know na, I can't watch you crying. He was not meant for us. That's why God called him back. We will have another baby in the future. I asked in a flow after watching a cute video. You know na, your lan is a fool. He doesn't know how to talk properly.”

Dylan slapped his cheek as a punishment which brought a smile on her face.

-” Can you be with me today night..? “ Janet asked hopefully.

Dylan didn't respond to anything but laid beside his wife and wrapped his hands around her waist. Janet hid her face in his chest and grabbed a handful of his t-shirt in her hands as if she was afraid he would move away…

At midnight Janet woke up sensing the lack of warm feeling and saw where Dylan slept was empty. She waited for sometimes as she thought he may be in the washroom but even after waiting for ten minutes Dylan was nowhere to see. So Janet got up from the bed and moved in the direction of their study and found Dylan busy in his lap top.

-” Lan, I asked you to be with me today.”

Janet leaned her body to the door and looked at Dylan who was surprised by the sudden barg. He gave a faint smile to his wife and said…

-” It's very important dear. I will come within one hour.”

-” No… continue your work. I'm off to bed.”

Janet said in a taunting tone in the hope that he will follow her. But even she knew it was only her wish. Instead of walking to her room, Janet walked to a glass room which was constructed jointly with the house.

It was a large room with so many plants in it. Some were hanging in a flower pot. Janet switched on the dim lights which made the beautiful room even more beautiful. She slowly sat on the small couch in the side of the room and stared at the small garden outside. She always finds peace here. Janet slowly moved her hands to her flat tummy which looked like a football one year ago.

-” Mommy misses you baby… please forgive mommy. I failed to protect you.” She was still caressing her tummy but her eyes fixed on the small grave outside near the garden.

One year ago She was happy and like every woman she was waiting for her baby and was dreaming about their new life with their baby. The fruit of their love. But everything changed when she was in her seventh month. It was her baby shower day and was happy with her friends. But suddenly she had excessive bleeding and doctors suggested a cesarean section. Even though their baby boy was born prematurely he lived only for one day…

A teardrop escaped from her eyes remembering the face of her first newborn. She only took him In her hands once… he did not even open his eyes to see his mommy for once.…

Janet curled her body like a snail and laid on the couch while crying…

-” Why Lan… ? Why can't you be with me today..? You Even forgot today was the day we lost our son…and it still fucking hurting me… I can't get over it..

Even after talking about him you didn't realise it was his death anniversary. How could you Lan… ? Don't you remember our son..? Why is it difficult for you to spend this night with me..? I miss those Sweetest days.. I miss my old Lan.. “

Janet whispered between her sobbing while fixing her eyes in the grave of her son. She chose that place because she wanted to see him when she was in this glass room. Maybe that's why she loved this room and loved to spend time here. Between the sobbs, Janet drifted into sleep.

*******

In the morning, Janet woke up at her usual time. She plucked some flowers from the plants and walked out to the garden. There was a door to the garden from the room so it was easy for Janet to go there. She plucked some flowers from the garden too and made a small handmade bouquet. She walked to the grave that was designed with the statue of a baby angel sleeping inside the large wings. Janet placed the bouquet on the brave and smiled….

-” Good morning baby…Wish mommy a good day..“

She touched the grave for a second and moved back to the home.Like today Her everyday starts with her baby by greeting him a good morning with a handmade bouquet made by her. Because she thought her son must be like her, fond of plants.

As Janet entered the hall, she saw the workers engaged in their morning chores. A lady in her mid sixties came beside her. Jantet passed a smile to the lady.

-” You again stayed in that room. Aren't you..? “ Suzane, the head maid, asked.

Janet simply smiled at her and asked..

-” Did Lan come down.. ? “

-” He is still in the study. He slept there. “ Suzane said.

-” Then give me his coffee. I will give it to him. “ Janet took the coffee mug from Suzane and walked to their study.

Dylan was still sleeping on the couch. Janet sat beside him after putting the coffee mug aside and shook him by shoulder..

-” Lan, wake up… it's time for your gym. “

Janet shook him continuously which made Dylan wake up with a yawn. He looked at Janet who had come without taking a bath. She always woke him up after her morning routine.

-” Why didn't you take a bath..? Aren't you getting late..? “

-” I have already told you Lan, I took a day off today and you have promised me that we will go on a date. “ Janet was getting irritated by his ignorance.

-” I remember Jane.. It's just that I forgot it due to sleepiness. “ Dylan tried to coax her, noticing she is not happy since from the morning.

-” I will send you the address later. Okay..? “

-” Sure.. I will be there on time. “ Dylan assured her and entered the washroom.

-” Hmm.. I will move to the gym. It's getting late. Do you want to join me..? “ asked Dylan, coming out while wiping the water from his face.

Janet was about to reject him but Dylan already pulled her with him. He was doing his workout and Janet was watching him. She was wondering why he pulled her with him because she always felt this is the most boring thing to spend time in the gym. She was watching him silently when the memory of their days just after marriage flashed in her mind..

**** Glimpse of Past *****

-” So where are you going to workout..? We don't have much money to spend on the gym.”

Janet came with a coffee mug and sat on his lap. He wrapped his hands around her waist and said..

-” We can't.. But I will surely do my workout because I have you.. “ Dylan smirked.

Janet Was confused as Dylan took the coffee mug from her hand and placed it on the small table in their one room apartment. Dylan carried her in his arms and walked to their small hall..

-” I will show you how your husband is gonna workout without using any gym props. “

Saying Dylan started to do squats carrying her in his hands. He was doing shoulder press workout and Janet furrowed her brows..

-” Am I look like a dumbbell ( An equipment used in gym) to you… ? “

-” No.. You are looking sexy like last night.” Dylan kissed on her cheeks between his squats.

-” Concentrate on your workout. We need to search for a job.” Janet slapped his shoulder with a serious face but her eyes were filled with love and care for him.

After squats Dylan was doing his push up when suddenly Janet sat on his back. With the sudden attack, his body touched the ground.

-” I thought you were strong, lan. But see you can't even carry a lightweight person like me.. “ Janet smirked.

-” Are you questioning my strength...? “

-” I'm not questioning you, in fact I'm stating a fact.. “ Janet said while sipping her coffee.

-” Then let me prove to you my dear Mrs. Braxton.. Here sit..“

Dylan adjusted his posture again. Janet jumped in excitement and placed the coffee on the ground then sat on his back while holding him by shoulder. With his every push up Janet was giggling non stop. Suddenly Dylan laid on the floor by his stomach and pulled her down from his back..

-” Did you get enough proof Ms. Future Attorney..? “ Asked Dylan, caging her between his hands.

-” Yes Mr. Future business man. “ Janet smiled back.

-” But I think you need more evidence.. “ Dylan smirked and crashed his lips on her.

-” Ewww… Lan you are sweating. I just take my bath.. “ Janet whined under him.

-” Then let's take a bath together as I made you sweaty.” Dylan got up from the floor and scooped her in his hands.

-” Yeah.. We can save water and in that way we can save water charges and electricity charges too. “ Janet said as if she found a treasure.

-” You are really gonna be a stinky Attorney in the future, Jane.. “ Dylan shook his head while carrying her to the washroom…

**** End ****

Because of the past memory, a smile appeared on Janet’s face. She turned to look at Dylan who was now running on the treadmill.

-” I miss our SWEETEST DAYS… “
