Years have gone by fast, Lianna and Dhale are now celebrating their third birthday. The Si and Park family prepared a private but grand celebration.
In a spacious room in the Park family's house. A little girl and boy are having a 'serious' conversation.
"Lia, mommy visited me first this year" Dhale cross his arms over his chest showing how proud he was.
"No! mommy went to me first" Lianna opened her palm and hologram image of Layla appeared.
"She look like this when she visited me at exactly twelve midnight."
"But mommy also visited me at twelve midnight"
"I guess this year, mommy is also fair. " Drihn ruffled both of their hair and whispered. "Mommy visited me late because she went to you guys first"
Every year at at twins birthday Layla always appear. Even though he knew that she's gone he's still looking forward to meeting her once every year. It's the only thing that lets him stay sane except for the children. Layla used the ability, time capsule. It's one of most difficult abilities to master for those who doesn't have the right to control time. She made twenty time capsules, even after she died she will appear every year until their children turned into an adult. She spent countless sleepless night to finish the time capsule. She also made the strongest barrier she could and mix it up with the space so that no one will know that their children awakened their abilities.No one will know their whereabouts and lastly no one will know that she had children.
When Drihn first come to know about it he knew that she was prepared to die. She knew herself that she was going to die. She choose to walk away not because she was afraid of the Jing clan. She was afraid to see him on pain. To let him choose who to save. She sacrifice her everything to lighten the pain he will feel.
***********
He doesn't feel the pain lessen even after three years. He miss her, he still love her. His family thinks that he's okay now. But only he know the pain he's experiencing. He could go back to the time that Layla is still here but he knows that he needed to stay. Stay to where their children are, stay to protect and love them. Stay to the house he built just for her and live forever on their painful memories.
"My love I miss you, I'm going to come to you once I finish my mission here. Just until they can protect themselves. Wait for me" his tears silently sliding down.
Unbeknownst to Drihn the twins are listening. Everynight their father cried silently. They too feel the pain, they miss her too. Why can others have their mother while they don't have one. Although they understand that she did it for their sake they still want her.
"Mommy we miss you" Lianna hug her own body as she cried heavily.
"Mommy I want to see you" Dhale is not any better than Lianna's state he sat on the floor weeping.
On the Si ancestral home Grandpa Si is sitting in his bed while holding Layla's picture.
"Lay I said to give me great grandchildren not to leave me" He's laughing while his tears slide down.
"Lay it's me elle what do I do now? my best cousin is not here anymore?Who will proyecy me mom's scolding? from brother's bullying?Lay can't you just come back?" Micaella can't take it anymore she burst into tears as she hug the picture album full of their memories.
On Stella Gu's apartment , bottles of liquor is scattered on the floor. The whole place is a mess. Their memories kept flooding her mind.
"Hey who are you? " Stella tap the girl's shoulder.
"Me? I'm Layla" the girl smiled at her and wave her hand.
"Oh! I love your name. My name is Stella let's be best friends from now on"
"Yes Stelly!"
"It's Stella
"
"Yes! Yes Stelly"
"Lay your Stelly will get married soon yet you can't attend it. What happened to our vows? Who will be my bestie now? "
"Lay come back we all need you"
