Chapter 188 - White Lily

As Sei slowly recovered from the great shock, he began to feel like the dimly lit living room just started to sparkle, as though he was suddenly teleported to a heaven like place. His heart was still beating wildly and his desire to see her, embrace her and kiss her just catapulted to its very peak, forcing his frozen feet to just continue moving forward so that he can finally reach his wife.

The man with a big white teddy bear in his left hand and rosebud moss in his right hand quietly but hastily walked on a path surrounded by little candles heading towards the courtyard.

Impatience and desire was obviously being shown in his every action and expression, however, for the second time, something made him stopped again.

Sei's gaze fell on the floor and when he saw another flower lying on it, he froze once again. For more than three seconds, the man just stood there like a hardened statue before he could finally manage to bend his body and pick the flower.

This time, it was a red camellia. A flower that expresses the words 'you're a flame in my heart'.

That moment, as Sei stared at the flower, Davi's face just appeared in his head saying the flower's meaning with her sweet and heartwarming voice. Causing of course, another chaos inside Sei's heart as his ears began to turn red.

Because of that, the man then took another long while to recover from his wife's heart stopping attack before he could move his feet again.

But then, again, the moment he finally continued walking towards the path, for the third time around, like police putting a checkpoint and blocking his way, he was stopped. His gaze then fell on the floor.

Another flower was left before him and the moment he saw it, he couldn't even freeze anymore. His eyes just glimmered with an inexplicable emotion before he slowly bent his body and gently picked the delicate looking white lily as he stared at it for a long while. And again, as though his wife was right in front of him, her voice sweetly saying the meaning of the flower echoed inside his head.

'It is heavenly to be with you…'

That moment, a rare smile subconsciously carved on Sei's face as his gaze remained locked on the white lily on his hand.

"Davi… I should be the one telling you that." He whispered and he started feeling surges of intense emotions inside him. It was because at that same moment, Sei couldn't help but begin to remember just how much his life has changed ever since he met her. Before he knew it, his past self who couldn't even care about anything, his past self who couldn't even desire anything, and his past self who couldn't even feel anything ceased to exist. He remembered how she slowly introduced him new feelings and emotions he didn't know that actually exist. He remembered how things that he usually ignores became precious to him. Just like the flower in his hand. Before he met her, for him, flowers are nothing but meaningless living things that was meant to just bloom before they whither and die. But now, before he even realized it, even when he was just pa.s.sing by the road, flowers were now catching his attention and as he looked at them, he just couldn't help but feel glad that those fragile short lived things at least exist in this harsh, cruel world.

And he knew that everything started to change because his dearest wife came to his life. For him, Davi was the angel who rescued him from h.e.l.l and made him aware and witness for himself that heaven does exist. She was the one who touched his soul and made him feel that he's alive again. She was his salvation, the one who made him human again. The one who opened his eyes. The one who filled the void and emptiness within him. The one who melted his once frozen heart.
