**LILY POV**
6 YEARS LATER
As I watched my husband and children enjoying a movie together, I couldn’t help but let my tears fall. Little Aria was sitting on Arlo’s lap while Grayson and Gabriella, our twins, sat side by side. On Arlo’s other side were Hollis and Hansel, cuddled up close.
I just silently looked at them, laughing. My joy, my joy, they are so much the best grace that the Lord has given me. They are my life. I assure you that I am doing my best to love my mother and wife. I’m watching my husband’s face, he still hasn’t changed, he’s getting more and more beautiful in my eyes. To me he is the most handsome man for me. The best husband and father of our children.
Sometimes in our lives, we think that when something leaves or disappears, it will never come back to us. But not everything that was thought to be true because the man who is the father of our children is the one who left, and I lost him for a few years, but now here we are now with a happy family, and we had a happy family.
I love Arlo so much I know it was my big mistake not to tell him my true personality. But what happened has happened, I can’t take it back either. There is no rewind in real life, unlike in the movie Rewind, but we have to correct the mistakes we made and start a new phase of our lives.
Because I love Arlo so much, I put down the rules of Grandpa and Dad so that I can only defend my true feelings for the person I love. Even though what I went through was difficult, I made a way to show my parents how important Arlo is to me. Even if the person I’m fighting for isn’t by my side. What I was thinking, even though I was struggling and I blamed myself, this was all my fault.
But I don’t lose hope that one day I will see Arlo again, there is hope for both of us. Everything in my mind came true as long as you think positive things will happen to us.
Even though I went through many trials and Arlo went through, in the end, our fate met, and we were still meant for each other.
I laughed when he admitted to me that he had been in love with me for a long time, he just couldn’t admit it to me. I was only chosen because he said he was clumsy and couldn’t understand.
I used to remember how to beg Grandpa to let me love a man from my heart.
“Grandpa, I love Arlo so much; it’s like you have mercy, Grandpa, give it to me, and I’ll follow my heart. I’m alone grandpa ‘lo, you also loved, maybe you also feel how to love the person you love. You know that we can’t even once teach the heart who it will love if our heart beats for someone else. Let me have a happy family, and for the rest of my life, I will be with the father of my children. You know, grandpa, I didn’t disobey you, maybe if it’s life, let me choose where I can be happy with myself if it’s a decision.”
Even Dad didn’t tell Grandpa what his attitude was. I said a lot of words to Grandpa; I didn’t miss anything; everything I wanted to say was said until Grandpa realized he was wrong. Not everyone who is older than us has points.
I was just surprised that my husband was in front of me. Smiling, looking into my eyes. Even though Arlo is 40+, he still looks like a young man, I don’t think he fades.
“What potion are you using, my beautiful wife?” he asked me. He pinched my nose like he did at the Emerald Shores Hotel first.
“Potion of your sweet love for me, dear wife; I think you are the one with the amulet because you never get old,” I said, and he kissed me on the lips.
“Mommy, Daddy.” Our children call us. Arlo felt his neck because he was hanging from kissing me.
I bit my lips and wet my lips with my tongue.
“Babe, don’t seduce me you know me I can’t control myself to f**k you badly,” he whispered in my full ear and even bit it.
I pushed him because the children were screaming. Until we all sat on the carpet and held the bowl of popcorn, I had made.
Gabriella stood up slightly, holding her selfie stick. He ordered us all to sit properly and follow everything he said. Gabriella pressed and pressed all the wacky selfies we all did.
Until they were all sleepy, Arlo picked up our youngest, and our other children followed.
After a few minutes, I left their room. I turned off the light.
“Good night,t boys,” I said, smiling.
“Good night too, Mommy,” I smile at them, and I close the door of their room.
I saw that Arlo slowly closed Aria’s bedroom door.
“Is he asleep?” I will ask.
“Yes, baby,” Arlo told me.
“I’ll go in for a while, and I’ll give a good night kiss to our youngest.” I said Arlo pulled my hand and grabbed my waist.”
