Chapter 42 - Young and naive (2/2)

Adam smiled at Celestia, imitating her and raising his pinky. Their couple ring reflects as the few lights pass through it, the engraved letters, Adam and Eve...

"Promise, wife," he said as thousand of stars falls down, the news is right, there will be a meteor shower that night, their last night.

Their time together is like a shooting star, beautiful yet quick to disappear.

They were young and naive back then...

---(flashback ends)

A pair of small hands landed on Celestia's cheeks. Waking her up from her wonderful dream.

'It's been a while since I dreamt of you'

"Mama, I'm hungry, wake up" his charcoal eyes is what greeted her, always reminding Celestia that there's a time when she met a wounded man with the same pair of eyes in the forest.

Both are looking at her lovingly.

She looks outside, tall buildings, different car models, and people with suitcases. Everybody busy on their own routines.

"How much farther before we get there?" she says, talking to the middle-aged man who is driving the cab.

"A little bit more ma'am" he responded, politely, his eyes switching on the road and on his passengers back and forth. He can't help but be mesmerized at the beautiful young lady and her son and daughter, 'What a cute family'

But where's the father?

"Wait for a little bit more, okay baby?" she said as she kisses the forehead of her son.

The toddler immediately nodded, he is an obedient boy after all!

The little girl brushes her eyes as she looks at her mother, "Mommy what are you dreaming? Is it a nightmare? Your mouth is watering" her squeaky voice said, clearly worried about her mom.

Celestia laughs at the two, patting their heads, on her lap is the boy while on the other side is the girl.

"No honey, mommy just remembered something on her sleep, it's a wonderful one with your daddy included"

The twins' eyes grew larger as they bombarded their mom with questions.

"Really what's he's like mama?" the boy questioned, he is used calling her mama than mommy where the other one prefers mommy.

"Is he still handsome in your dream?" the girl inquired, both of their charcoaled eyes twinkled as they wait for their mother's response, excited to hear more about their father.

'You are unfair at the very end Adam, how come the two of them got only the color of your eyes?' she thought. Her eyes filled with sadness as she recalls the man who promised he'll come back.

'Where are you now? We've come to find you Adam'

"I will tell you later if you both behave"
