Chapter 15

The woman acted as if she was thinking. “Hmm. I do not know. Just, anywhere. I know I will enjoy as long as you are with me. ”

He took her hand and looked at her straight in the eye. “Of course. As long as I’m with you, you’ll really enjoy it. So, let’s go. ”

They were about to go straight to the place where the rides were when Rhianne stopped him from walking. He saw her staring at the Stuffed Toy hanging in a booth. Rhianne stared at that Stuffed toy and he noticed that there’s a hidden want behind Rhianne’s eyes.

"You want it?"

"No."

She didn't believe what Rhianne said and took her to that booth. “If you want it, just say so. I’m willing to buy it for you. ”

“Isn’t that being selfish? Asking what I want just like that? ”

“Nope. That’s not being selfish. Because I’m willing to give it to you. And what’s wrong for asking a simple gift? Selfishness is part of our identity, of our life. Each of us has their own selfishness within their self. So, it's not bad to be selfish sometimes. ”

Rhianne looked at him and pointed to the stuffed toy that was hanging. “Really? Then I want it, Xavier Samuel. Will you give it to me? ”

“Of course. Anything for you, Little Rean. Anything. ”

"Thank you!" He said and hugged her tightly. “My favorite is really Stitch. So, thanks! I could kiss s you for this. ”

“It's okay if you kiss me. I will not stop you."

"Okay, later."

He smiled especially when he noticed the brightness of its aura. He promised himself that he would do everything to keep this smile on Rhianne’s lips. He will do everything to make it happy. That’s the selfish part of him, wanting to be the only person to grant her smile. Because he wants to be the only one who sees it.

He alone.

FLASHBACK...

"WHY DID THEY TAKE SO LONG, Daddy, Nanny?"

Rhianne turned violently to the source of that familiar voice. He did not know where he was now. The last thing he remembers is Reiley with him in his car because they were on their way home from the Amusement Park. And maybe he fell asleep too tired or because of composure when Reiley was with him.

“Just wait for them, Rean. They are coming. Why don't you open their advance gift to you first? ”

Her eyes widened when she heard the voice of her Nanny Mina. That’s the time when she realized that it was happening again. He is dreaming again and what he sees at those times is the event that continues to torment him.

No! Let me woke up! Now! He tapped her cheek but she still didn't wake up. He didn't want to see it, this incident. Show that all of his past but not this one. Not this one because he didn’t know if he could when he saw this memory.
