"Haoxuan!"

"Yes! Yes..." Blinking at Ji yang.

"Aren't you going to walk?" Ji yang asks.

"I should, walk of course!" Tailing him behind.

"I never saw this side of you." Suddenly he turns making Haoxuan to scream.

"You scared me."

"Are you that much?"

"What?" Haoxuan retorts.

"Scared. You are going to ask for my hand so it's obvious that you are uncomfortable, thinking a lot right now." Taking his palms.

"I suddenly feel scared and ashamed."

"Of?" Softening more for his sake.

"It's a year already but eight months have pass since I started being with you!? And even once did I visit your mother. At first I didn't want to see her for why did she kick you out like that but then as times pass by I wanted to know how was she doing, did she eat well, was she healthy, doesn't she miss her son? Like that. I wanted to knock some senses from her head that she should be proud to have a struggling son but my conscience didn't allow me. Why? Because I was scared I'd say something that'd make me regret for life. It was your life and I refrained myself to meddle in it more. I tried to shape your life in a way that can be beneficial to you. And today is the same, I'm scared my mind will think negative as my mouth will say otherwise but still I want to ask for your hand. As your mother to be our witness." Clasping Haoxuan's palms tighter.

"You are very truthful and I like this you. But Haoxuan you didn't because you wanted. But your heart knew better as to why was she like that! She is a mother! A single mother who fought by whatever she had, to raise me and to protect me from degradation. She'd be angry and awful like she did back with me but deep down she loved me more than anyone else. She was just scared that if the oath I choose will be safe for me or not which at last you won. And she needed to let go of me as time moved on. You are just scared for me thinking... Ummm... What if she beats the hell out him because he ended up dating me! It's my choice. You just need to trust your decision more and stand for it. We are facing my house now *the two look at the worn out house* we can just go back so you can organize yourself again or we can go." Still looking at the house.

"We should go." Taking Haoxuan's hand the two go towards the house.

Knocking twice Ji yang house, in followed by Haoxuan.

"All days I thought you'd stop by, and today you finally did. As together." Haoxuan's blood ran cold from the lady's say while Ji yang ran to hug his mother.

"Don't scare him ma!" The two look at Haoxuan who can't even speak than little spasms.

"Welcome. Lunch is ready. Ah! And my son you can marry him as long as he is safe with you."

BRUGggg!! The heavy body of Haoxuan collapsed on the ground. Ji yang ran to him fast while the mother shook her head with a smile.

" He is just good for you." Winking at her son.

.....

"So tell me. How is Italy so far?" Asks Wei as he makes a dough for some pancakes.

"It's good here. You can tell yibo sometimes to take a break from work. You too. And have a visit here. It's good. Especially in Milan." Wei can hear her cheers from the other side.

"Mm. I will. You seem to have fun. Keep up with it." Washing the tomatoes.

"See you then." Placing his phone beside Wei did the food preparation as hurry as he could.

The remaining months that made a year went just smoothly and beautifully as a for ninety percent everything was good, everyone got each other, also got what they wanted. Be it love, success, reunion. That's how it is.

A good start should have a good ending. No matter how the journey goes.

Kate and Lan were back together, being still married, settlement between them was needed. For the sake of their grown up daughter.

Haoxuan and Ji yang got an approval they yearned for.

Paul got Britney like he demanded. Same as the other party.(Britney)

Haikuan showing everything to Cheng that he wanted to see(travelers) gave everything he needed (what he missed in life). Lastly they have each other. Side by side. And now they are enjoying the beauty of Rome. Fascinating, is it?

Yibo and Wei got each other. Had a signed marriage. Wei still being paranoid he couldn't afford the huge damn party just to be with yibo. What if he disappears again? So they have rings by their fingers. Called as husband's.

But....

Time between them became too much limited.

"Is yibo not back yet?" Asks Haikuan through phone.

"He will be back by today." Sighing, he looks at the watch by the wall as he lays his legs on the arm rest in a laying position.

"Are you happy?" Haikuan asks him as he watches Cheng having fun.

"I am. As long as he is with me. That's enough." Smiling a bit.

"You don't have much time together. It's like he is having many business trips while you are left all alone."

"I have the kids with me. And... I can't forbid him to work. That won't just be fair. Besides he never goes for that long. Only few days and he is back." Hearing the clicking of the door. "And also, you know I travel sometimes! Leaving him all alone. So it's fair enough." Looking at the tired individual standing looking at him. "He is back... See you." Dropping the phone ending it. "Yibo...

Going to check in him.

"Look at you. Come first." Pulling him but he refrains.

"I miss you.... Didn't you?" Looking at him with his dark eyes. Lack of sleep?

"Me too yibo. Me too. But look at you now. You need a fresh bath and a good dinner. Then rest. You look tired."

"This won't do." Looking at his wrist watch.

"What? What won't do?" Firmly holding his arms together.

"Pack your bags. We are leaving together."

"Where?" Confused.

"Italy." Blinking at him. "There is no time Wei. I'm stupidly missing you Everytime I set my foot out of here. And today I got another call that there is a three days meeting Italy. I can't handle more of the five days I spent away from you. So we are leaving together." Pleading.

"And work? The kids?" He asks again. Making him sit.

"They'll be staying at their grandparents, your parents. As for work Ji yang and Haoxuan are here." Smiling a bit. "The jet is at the company's building waiting. Please."

"They are packed. It's only the matter of you taking me with you." Sniffing a bit.

"I'm sorry." Brushing his hairs smoothly.

"I'm just lonely in here! Especially when I don't have work. Or when I sleep at night. The bed feels toooo... Much big." Sniffing more.

"Sorry." In exchange Wei hugs him.

"I love you yibo. Hmm?"

"Me more. I don't want to get sick because I miss you a lot." Patting his back in a melodious way. "I love you Wei." Giving him a feathery kiss.

Just when they stood, Wei's phone rings.

"Hello... Wei speaking, who is it?" Listening attentively. "Oh! Okay. I'll gladly be there. Thank you." Hanging up.

"Again!" Whines yibo.

"Again." Lowly Wei speaks

"I just came to take you with me, but the call just told you that you'll leave, is it?" Lowly asks yibo.

"Mm."

"Is it? Then when are you leaving?" He asks looking at Wei

"Now. With you." Smiling. "Italy, Milan!"

"No kidding right!" Looking onto his eyes. "I see." Nodding slowly.

Then suddenly he picked Wei rounding them.

"We will fall down! Stop it!" Laughing hard while yibo also had no limits of his laughter.

"I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU.......

💝💝💝💝💝

"Did you have any purpose of bringing me here?" Asks Wei.

"No! But because this was a very precious place that my mother always loved to come by whenever we had vacations. She'd decorate father's head with a flower crown. Then would she'd make us flower crown and the flower bangle as well. Like how Moana is?(the cartoon) I don't know how to explain, but it's like that. Then we'd play as a entertainment to her." Smiling looking at the flowery area. Different colored flowers that give a good scenery landscape.

"It's beautiful." Kissing yibo's cheek. "I'm so happy to be with you here. now! More than other days. Yibo I love you. With all my heart." Smiling brightly.

"Don't apply makeup. Just be a make-up artist. But don't use one." Frowning a bit.

"I never did!" Glaring at him.

"I love you too. Let's get to the hotel and later make the night ours." Smirking at him.

The two clasping hands together bare feet's walking over the flowery ground.
