I never thought I would think back to those days again, it was a pain that my dreams remain dreams.
It was funny how you only hope for something and hold onto it in your heart but can't catch it.
Just like the days ahead, just like waking up, just like the air you breathe and just like the future you expect but gets something else in return.
My dream has only been just one, to make it up on stage and get those lights flashing on me while the crowd erupts with cheers, but, those dreams stayed as dreams, just a few days to make it up there, it all got drained like the sand in the sea.
Although the pain was lasting, the hurt still felt sore, but I still had something to hold onto, I still got that dream I couldn’t achieve two years back, that hope that I would one day stand on stage still lingered within me and that was what I have decided to leave in my heart.
"Ivana, you will burn down this house!" I heard my name and turned around just to see Robin turning off the gas. I have been staring outside the garden for quite a while and had completely forgotten about the pain I placed on the gas.
I rushed over to Robin who was giving me that stern look and I had to smile at him. "I am sorry, I was thinking about something a few minutes ago." I pouted my lips and blinked cutely hoping he would forgive me.
"Again." He frowned but in a cute way and I can tell that he didn't make my mistake to heart. "You should always remember that we are no longer alone in this house and there is a kid just asleep upstairs." He told me and I gently walked close to him to snuggle into his arms.
"I know, you are forgetting the kiss is ours and I also have him on my mind, now can you not yell anymore before you wake him up?" I said softly.
"But still..." I tiptoed, raising my chin, I planted him a kiss to silence him and he wrapped his hand around my waist.
"If you continue doing this Ivana, we would be having a second child." He looked into my eyes and I hit his hand lightly.
"I don't mind having lots of kids, as long as you are still their father." I giggled and he kissed my lips softly.
I know you may be thinking about how this all happened and why we talk about kids suddenly.
Well, after knowing I wouldn't do the show because of my injury, I was so torn and sad all the way.
Katherine had offered to sing on stage as the main lead while she danced with the others in my place. She was full of surprises. I never knew she would have such a soft heart to make those offers, but I couldn’t take it.
I was still hurt and couldn't move for weeks, it was only two days before the show and I couldn't even do the music while sitting in a wheelchair since I had to recover.
I had to watch the show online at the hospital while picturing myself with the other’s, Kate didn’t want to partake in the show since I wasn't there but I convinced her to dance for both of us. She got signed as a member of the Kelly group under SKY management.
I was not only happy for Kate, but I'm also now her number one fan and we are still in contact although she was now famous, we were still BFFs.
Things went well for the other others, Katherine has made her big debut and has just released her second song album, I have had a whole lot of them since she sent some to me, she was suddenly a warm-hearted person we heard recently that she was in a relationship with Robin, although they were keeping it a secret from the public for now.
Ryan went back to his group, the BHSD and he was still as annoying as ever, although I didn’t want to talk to him, he still happens to come by to see me and Robin and kept on annoying me.
My parents moved to the City. I was happy they did and thought I was going to live with them again and be away from Robin after getting discharged from the hospital, but Robin surprised us all by proposing to me after a year of getting discharged.
I love him so much and can't pretend not to say yes. Before he breathed the words out, I had already said yes to him and we had gotten married a few months after his proposal.
We had mad sex after our marriage and Robin didn't hold back his desire, our honeymoon was mostly spent on our bed as we shook the room in ecstasy.
Nine months later I put to birth, giving birth to Robin junior since the child took all Robin's handsomeness, I hope the daughter I would give birth to in the future would take after me since I was also pretty, but I hope she doesn't take after my blue eyes colour although that was the only resemblance I had with my son who I have rocked to sleep a few minutes ago.
"Robin." I leaned back not to be carried away by his kiss since it always turns me on and has an effect on me. "We still have to prepare dinner, you know we would be having a lot of guests over," I told him and Robin smiled at me.
"I got that all covered." He said softly and snapped his finger, I turned my eyes when I heard footsteps approaching.
"Robin, who are these people?" I asked since five maids were standing before us with their eyes lowered.
Robin wrapped his hand around my waist. "Well, they will be the ones making all the dinner preparations," He looked at me. "And you my wife have something, more importantly, to do for me." A smile plastered on his lips while I looked at him perplexed.
He led me upstairs to our room and closed the door behind him. "What do I have to do for you?" I knew we had both picked the outfit we would wear today and there was nothing else to do for him.
Robin walked close to me, his penetrative eyes stared right into mine. "Satisfy my sex urge," He took my hand and lead it down between his legs and I felt his hardening and my eyes widened with parted lips understanding what he meant, my cheek flushed.
"Oh..." I mouthed also wanting him.
"I guess that is a yes." He said softly and lifted me while I curled my legs around his waist, he kissed my lips, softly at first and then deeply as he led me to bed to eat me up.
We both made out way out to the big garden, Robin's hand was around my waist and as we stepped out, I couldn’t help but beam at the many familiar faces, Kate, Clara, Hinn Carlos, Lukas, Katherine, Henry, Ryan, my parents, Mrs Jane and others who I have come to know.
It didn't matter if they were popular, it didn't matter the past between us or the complex life we have all faced, it doesn't matter if we have had conflict in the past, it doesn't matter the stages we have passed, what matters now was the smiles on their faces and the strong bond we have all formed together, the mutual understanding and the love that has bloomed just by crossing each other’s path.
We all had a lot of catch-ups to do, but right at this moment, under this bright light of moonlight, I felt the love in the air as soft plays and we all danced to the beat.
I don't think I have any regrets in life, everything that has happened to me has happened for a reason.
Bumping into Robin that first day at the park as a kid and also bumping into him when I got to the city has led me straight to his heart and we were happily married.
Getting hit by that van just a few days to the main show too felt like there was a reason behind it which I was yet to discover, I was still going to get back up, my dreams of standing on stage was not yet tarnished, I would give it a try once more and Robin has promised to stand by me as he has always done.
I thought I had only my parents and Kate by my side but little did I know there was still love in this world and a great way to build friendship even when there were loopholes.
Kate was right, everywhere was a stage in life, this moonlight was my spotlight and dancing around these fine people and right in Robin’s arms was my stardom.
I was happy as I gazed into Robin’s eyes, a smile spread through our lips, he was as dashing as the first day I met him at the park when he had said I was pretty.
I have gone a long way with Robin, most of the memories I still hold dear in my heart, the shouts and scolding, the jealousy in his eyes, the pain he felt and the joy we shared.
"What?" Robin asked softly as he stared down at me under the moonlight. "Why are you staring at me?"
I shook my head, I have been staring at him for a while now and I knew he noticed it. "Nothing," My eyes glistened. "Just... I love you so much."
I saw twinkles in his eyes, he was holding me around my waist and he pulled me close to him, with his finger he raised my chin slowly. "I love you forever." He said softly as he planted a kiss on my lips and I felt fireworks went off in my head.
My dream of standing on stage has led me right into Robin’s arms and he was right all along.
I belong to him and no one else.
The End.
