Chapter 106 - NEW YEAR SPECIAL (1/2)

April woke up and felt a warm body next to hers. She leaned and cuddled next to it, as she felt cold. It was the last day of the year, December 31st.

As she snuggled closer, the man beside her woke up. He turned around and embraced her. Giving her his body warmth, to keep her warm. His lips curled up as he smelled her fragrant shampoo.

April looked up and smiled at him. ”Good morning.”

He smiled back and replied. ”Good morning to you too.”

She and her husband had been married for 3 years. April was now 27. It had been 6 years ever since Jackson had drugged her. Although Jackson was her nightmare before, something changed at the end. Her thoughts of him were now hazy.

If it wasn't because of her husband's persistence, she wouldn't have woken up from that trance. A moment where she didn't know who she was nor what should she do.

It took her husband 4 years for her to be finally free and to become a normal person. Although she still takes in medicine, she rarely gets nightmares nor episodes of anxieties. Her last relapse had been 2 years ago. This could only mean that she was in the right path of healing.

With the help of the best doctors in the world, her husband was able to bring her back from the depths of endless darkness.

When everything was said and done, April was now free from all her past burdens. It was as if she had gained a second life with a blank slate. She was able to become a butterfly who waited on her dark cocoon for quite some time.

She now knew that she was loved and cherished. All of her past sufferings felt like nothing now. Being the wife of this loving husband of hers, it was all worth it. She never knew that this day could come. She never thought that she could be this happy and content. All because of this man laying beside her.

He gave her hope when everything seems dire and hopeless. He gave her light when her world succ.u.mbed to darkness. He gave her happiness when she was at the bottom of her life. Lastly, he gave her love when she thought that she never deserved it.

After saving her from her darkness and nightmares, he persisted by her side. He had never pushed her to something that she didn't want to do. He waited till the day that she was ready to welcome him into her life. He took care of everything for her as if he was her Guardian Angel.

After years of courting and waiting, he finally got her and married her in the same year. Along with Sky, they now have a daughter together. She was turning 2 years old, this coming year. Because of the journey that they went through, he named her Sona. It means happy or cheerful in Irish.

Sona was a beautiful baby. She had her father's eyes and his smile. She was on cesarian when she gave birth to her. A little sacrifice that was worth it to April.

She looked at her husband and gave him a quick peck on the lips. His eyes were still sleepy. It was 7 am and yet he was lazying in bed. As soon as her lips landed on his, he captured the thief and held her tight.
