It's been twenty minutes since I have been started looking for the little bunny. My heartbeat is not helping when my mind brought different ways of ugly scenarios like someone kidnapped her.

I don't know why but I have a sudden urge to protect her and want to see her safe. At least I have to do for the sake of Riya or else she will burn me alive.


"Sir, we found her." One of the nurses came and informed me. "Thank God!" I let out a long sigh. I thanked her and walked towards the place where I was before because that is where they found her.

My anger built up when I saw the little bunny who was eating chocolate peacefully not caring for the whole world. I fisted my hands and stormed towards her but it was faded in a slight second when she gave me a sheepish smile. I forget how to breathe...

She is so beautiful like her mom and adorable too. Without saying any words, I sat beside her and leaned on the wall.


"Who bought you a chocolate?" I found myself questioning her like a dad. For a second, I wanted to be a real father to her.

But she can't be my daughter because someone took my place and gave his Surname.


"One Aunt." She grinned at me showing her teeth which were fully smudged with chocolate.

"And...What is your full name?" Truthfully, I have no idea why did I want to know about her full name but it just slipped out of curiosity, maybe I will get the name of who came to replace me in Riya's life.

"Sweety Jemima Kader." She replied instantly.

What? Why she didn't give his surname? I furrowed my brows looking for the answer to myself. 'It's maybe he was dead when she was born.' my subconscious mind replied.

Whatever.

We both stayed there silently. Jack offered me a VIP room to stay but I neglected because I want to monitor her every move. Who knows anything will happen when I was stepped out of this place because the traitor is still outside.

I wished for her normal comeback, nothing more. I still remember the day when she got a panic attack and had admitted to the hospital. She was unconscious for almost 12 hours and I freaked out when she didn't open her eyes.

I even went to the church and lightened the thousands of candles, asked others to pray for her health. It all happened the day before our wedding.

As I was drowning inside the memories of our past life, I felt a small tap on my hand that made me look at my left. The scene in front of me is mesmerizing. For a second, time froze my everything including my brain that was indeed awake for some reason.

She, the little bunny, was sleeping peacefully, her mouth was parted slightly, and chocolate was smudged all over her face. Even in this situation, she didn't fail to capture my heart.

I wiped her face using my handkerchief. She stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. I rubbed her back up and down which made her go back to sleep. Gently placing her head on my lap I stroked her hair while watching her sleeping peacefully in my lap.

Ohh, God!! Why she can't be my daughter? I wished for the first time knowing it was my unfulfilled desire. She is right, she has a daughter to happy with, but what I have.

~~~Past Wind~~~

I'm fidgeting my finger nervously as not knowing whatever I'm doing is correct or not, it seems like I am going to participate in the running competition and the rest of my life is dependent on them.

We are standing in front of the building where I'm going to marry the love of my life but something felt wrong, it kept bothering my mind begging me to reconsider the decision.

Am I pushing myself into this marriage? But anyway in the future I will marry him, so why not now?

"Oh my god! Oh my god!! Oh my god!!! Riya!!! You are going to marry your prince charming at this young age." Claire shrieked partially jumping up and down like a penguin.

"You are so lucky, I'm proud of you." She hugged me tightly.

"Claire, shut up! You are getting everyone's attention." I scolded her for behaving like a child while my eyes wandering around the place to confirm if anyone is watching us.

"Come on Riya!! Don't be a boring duck." She sarcastically threw hers both hands in the air. "It's your special day, don't ruin it for anyone." She scolded me back.

I know today is my special day but I am not happy, it likes my inside felt empty. I have so many dreams about my wedding like every girl has.

Like......

My dad will walk me to the aisle then give my hand to my beloved one. I and my groom will share our vows looking at each other face and will share the passionate kiss but will pull apart when we hear the squeal from the bunch of audiences and I will hide my face on his chest out of embarrassment. We will follow all the traditions like cake cutting, dancing, feeding cake, and wine to each other and finally attending some funny games we will end the function there. I will busy myself with my friends to make him lose his patience then he will come and stole me from them saying I'm only his which causes a result of everyone start to tease him about the unconditional love he has towards me. During our reception, we both will get tired of hearing everyone's wishes and their unconditional love all the while standing in the stadium welcoming their wishes in open arms having a huge smile on our faces. In the corner of my eyes, I will notice my parents will comfort each other while my brother gives me an assured smile saying everything will be alright and I will return the same with my small smile. Being a good brother Zach will warn my groom saying to have his ball if he dares to treat me like trash and my groom will accept this gladly bowing his head having a warm smile on his face. In the end, I will throw my bouquet towards my braids maid mainly point towards Claire. Finally, they all will send us to our honeymoon waving their hand brightly. I will adjust myself into the car besides my groom and he will wipe my tears that coming out of happiness smoothening nothing but sweet words trying to comfort me.
