All problems had found a bright spot. Then what now?
Haytham and Alia had returned to their mansion and living their lives as before.
I gave Ronald and Elsa a day off as a token of gratitude for helping me all this time, while Jake ... that guy was busy running his single life by becoming a player. He dated different women every week, I didn't even know their names.
As for Jazzlin, I asked her to stay with me, in the mansion. Everything felt lonely when she was not there, around me. So, we decided to stay together from now on.
I looked at her whole face. She looked innocent with her eyes closed. I pushed aside the strands of hair when it covered her face, then looked at her again.
A smile appeared on my face, imagining how lucky I was to finally with her again.
I put my head on the pillow, tilted my face closer to her.
Her breath blew to me as her hand was right in
He doesn't understand!He doesn't get it at all!My thoughts about marriage had changed. If I used to think of a beautiful wedding like in the world of fairy tale, now I wasn't thinking the same anymore. I became to think differently. I was terrified just thinking about marriage.Especially after clearly knowing the details of what happened in past. My own parents' marriage did not go smoothly.It was so toxic and full of cruel twists. Rose Ozza, my mother, or Yolanda may be strong in facing their ordeal, but it was different for me. I got fragile easily and now I scared so much.I was afraid that Barra would leave me for a better and worthy one. I got so fed up just thinking about other women had the edge over me.I'm a woman and of course, wanting the same thing all women wants, to get married.A sacred event that I wanted to happen once in my life and with the ri
Years later...The wedding vows that had been taken, would always be the binding between us. We had built a prosperous and peaceful family together during our ten years of marriage.I am grateful to have two children, Adrian and Skylar.Adrian Ainsley, aged nine, had become an older brother who loves his younger sister, Skylar. He really became a big brother for her.His face is not the same bit as mine, but with his father. Sometimes I got annoyed by comments from people who never realized my resemblance to him.They often said that none of my children look like me. Even my lovely baby, Skylar. She's 99 percent like her father, only different genders."Look mom, I have a new word to tell you." Adrian came over to me with his favorite basketball between his right arm.I don't know where his hobbies come from, but he really likes playing basketball. Barra and I don't
I could feel the beat of my heart as it started to beating again, according to its duties. I blew the air that entering through my nose then enjoying the second air after air. The first inhalation was making me feel alive.I remembered the last time I breathed my last then darkness engulfed me.I thought I was dead, but I was still breathing. That means I got second chance to life.I could barely hear a man calling someone's name. It sounded far away, but a second later it was getting closer.His voice was filled with hope as if he was waiting for the name he was calling to answer him.I moved my fingers slowly, making the man's voice ringing in my ears again. Like amazed and half aware that his call was directed at me.I groaned feeling the pain on my wrist. "Shushh, calm down, Jazzlin." The man's voice was literally right next to my right ear. Jolted, I realized he was talki
I was reborn as a woman named Jazzlin Ozza.
All the memories regarding the Ozza family flashed through my mind.Jazzlin's parents had divorced since she was ten years old. Jazzlin was also Barra's best friend since they were babies. However, a few years after entering college their relationship didn't improve. Barra must continued his studies outside the city, giving a gap between their relationship.After the divorce, Jazzlin only lived alone with her mother in this mansion. Her mother was always busy with work, making Jazzlin felt lonely.I concluded that was the main reason Jazzlin had attempted suicide. I didn't know the real reasons because there wasn't the slightest memory of her suicidal intent.I was trying to blend in with my surrounding. Trying to be nice to all the maids who had been so friendly since I woke up.Only one thing that always made me nervous, the presence of Barra. That man really killed me with his heavenly smile. My heart was beating messily, whenever he was a
He had been sitting there with a look that didn't recognize me at all. His eyes gleamed as the corner of his mouth quirked up.
The sun rays was piercing my eyes, made me cover them with my pillow. I grumbled still in a sleepy position."Wake up, dear." Ah, it was my mother's voice, "It's morning, let's have
I didn't know since when I fell asleep, but the announcement from the flight attendant was enough to wake me up. Vaguely, I listened still with my eyes closed and this damn body that didn't want to move an inch.
