It has been a month since Zaynella bumped into Bohai or should I say Egan Bohai Hans and it has been a few weeks since it was figured out that Kelvin or Bojin Kelvin Hans was the missing child of the Hans' couple who was kidnapped at the airport years back. Finding out of such mystery was fascinating, but Kelvin even though was happy about the finding didn't want to leave Zaynella so he still stayed with her.
Today, Zaynella was having a date with Egan, he was to pick her up from work. It was really funny how she was actually dating her big boss, not only that he was the owner of Han conglomerate and K-Top, he was really the dream husband of many. The young man not only was he the richest and youngest bachelor, he was also a hot cake. The two cooking games just like Zaynella predicted has really been on top and wasn't planning to come down anytime soon.
Soon, Egan arrived and Zaynella went down stairs to meet him. He was wearing a suite, he was just coming back from work. It has been a hectic period for him. He was moving the headquarters of Aries down to the state, and today he finally succeeded thus had wanted to celebrate.
Through out the drive to the restaurant non of them said a word to the other, even though they were silent, the atmosphere was really comfortable.
Zaynella wasn't surprised when she noticed that apart from the two of them, that no other person was in the restaurant. She knew that the man was really planning something. So when eventually the man went down on his knees, she already have the idea of what was coming.
" Zy, I know that the time we spent together was short, but every moment of it was cherished and every time we part I miss you. I want to wake up every day with you being the first person I would see and when am about to sleep your face will also be the last I will see, I want to have you all to my self and hide you from the world. You have always been a source of comfort to others, a resting place, and I wish to be yours, so that when ever you are tired that you can rest on my shoulders and when you are weak that you can lean on me. Zayn I want to be the person, the one you will always lean on, I want you to carry our children, I haven't said all these cheesy words to anyone before, but because you are special you are the first, it's because i love you. So please be my wife".
Zaynella didn't know if she was to cry or not, she thought ' who ends a proposal with those words', it was only Egan that was capable of such feat. She looked at the man that has been monitoring her life all these while, the first and the last man she fell in love with. He was definitely the one that moved her heart, she could remember that time.

Due to the importance of the excursion to both school, the decided to share, the company also apologized for the inconvenience they created. Not only that, the schools decided that since they would be spending time together that they should collaborate. Each student was asked to choose a partner from another school, many male students had walked up to her, but he chased them back with a mean stare, and they all obeyed him like he ruled the school or something even his teachers made no attempt to stop him, that really fascinated her . He had walked up to her hands stretched and said.
" I leave myself in your care".
The remaining weeks they spent together, Zaynella had enjoyed every single time, from their game date to workshop seminars even to the competitions of game designing. when ever they won each competition, the shameless young man would steal a peck on the forehead from her saying that his wife did great.

.... END OF FLASHBACK .....
Pulling her self out of the memory, she couldn't also help but marvel at how she have been entangled with the same person over and over again. When she introduced Egan to Molly and Lionel, it so happened that they had already known each other for a long time, they were after all classmates and long time friends. It also happened that he was her second saviour and when she confronted him, he confessed that from the first day he saw her during the speech she made at the freshman party that he was enamored by her and wanted to know her better, but she was always busy then he started keeping tabs on her, he was only older than her by two years but they were classes apart so he could only watch from the shadows, when he left highschool he went back to his home town because it was urgent. When they met again he recognized her immediately but she didn't so he approached her first. When she left without goodbye he was hurt but there was nothing he could do.
He lived his dull life, building his company from the scratch and handling his father's company. He was really occupied with his work so had no time for romance. When that project was submitted to the head office, he learnt of her existence she was right in front of him yet so far. It was then that he started keeping tabs on her life. He would be lying if he was to say that he wasn't excited when he learnt that she have never been in a relationship so he thought that just like him that she had been nursing their lost lost love all those years. He wanted to be the shoulder she would lean on, everybody where leaning on hers. So he hurried the project and it only took months to be completed this creating an opportunity for a reunion.
When she figured that he wasn't going to get up if she doesn't reply she decided to save him.
" I have been waiting for this moment, I thought it would take time. I love you Egan, am more than willing to mother your unborn children so yes, let's get married, when ever am tired or sick, I will definitely lean on you, its a forever", Zaynella replied smiling. Her first dream had come true when she bumped into him at her party and the second one was when he asked her out on a date. This was the third one. Finally she have found someone who was willing to lend her his shoulders, someone she can lean on.
Egan slipped the ring in her left middle finger, the ring was custom made, their initial was engraved at the tiny space between the emerald encrusted stones with liters of diamonds. In the middle of the ring stood a small heart shaped diamond with a tiny pearl in the middle. The ring must have cost a fortune.
Zaynella was still sitting, and Egan was still kneeling holding her hand. They were gazing in each others' eyes. Soon their faces came together and lips met silently fulfilling their promises to each other.
Few years later, on a king sized bed in a magnificent bedroom, a very handsome man was lying down, his eyes where closed and his breathing regular. A beautiful young woman was lying beside him. She was tracing her fingers on the man's face. Later on, the woman quietly stood up not to wake the man up. She walked up the window over looking a beautiful garden that she had planted she watched as the sky brighted slowly, indicating the dawn of a new day. Many things where going on her mind. She placed her hand on her stomach, stroking it gently. This was going to be her third child, the twins Dawn and Delvin were the first. In her three years of marriage she have never been more happy.
Soon she felt a presence and a hand slipped on her waist gently back hugging her, she felt a familiar warmth and leaned in to savour it.
" What are you thinking of", Egan asked his voice husky indicating that he just woke up.
" Our past ", she muttered.
He clearly knew what she was talking about, and he didn't want her to think of it. He wanted her to think of their future and present. He nuzzled his face on her neck kissing her neck in the process.
" Zy, its finally over, am here for you to lean on, you should focus on our present and the future. You should probably come to bed its not good for the baby's and your health to stay awake and the twin would be awake a time", he said his free hand caressing her stomach.
" This is real ", she muttered again. She disengaged her self from the hug and turned to face her husband.
" Thank you Egan for being there for me, I love you", her face was radiating with a beautiful smile, she went on a tip toe and kissed Egan, but he couldn't let go of such opportunity, so he deepened the kiss, tongues mating.
" I love you too Zy ", he whispered on her lips as their tongue and mouth still mated.
Admist the kiss, Zaynella muttered an inaudible word. " I can Finally Lean on You".
" Yes, you can lean on me", Egan replied deepening the kiss as if to swallow her whole, his left hand snaked around her waist while his right hand held the back of her head trying so much to savour her warmth.
Not knowing if it was the hormones of pregnancy working, she was looking for more this was going to be different from what they have been doing before, this was going to be more than the love they have spoken of and she felt it. It was going to be the bound of two souls that would be together forever. Still kissing, Egan who felt an urgent need to be one with her picked her up and walked to the bed.
This was emerging of two souls bound by fate and love to always find each other. It was not only leaning on each others shoulders, it was also being merged as one leaning in each others heart, soul, body and mind. Finally Zaynella was never lonely.
