That moment, Davi bit her lower lip. She wanted to cry. It only took Sei a few words to clear up her mind and made her understand their predicament. And bask in the knowledge that Sei will never blame her for anything.

She then raised her hand and touched his hand on her face.

"But... but I was the one who broke my promise. I left you. I left my son. I crumbled on my own. I let guilt and fear defeat me. I wasn’t strong enough." She said, her voice was like a melody of sorrow. It was as if she was forcefully pulling out the thorns in her heart and yet she couldn’t even cry in pain.

Hearing her words and looking at the endless pit of pain in her eyes, Sei felt his heart being stabbed with thousand daggers. This person whom he swore to protect and never let her feel this kind of pain again was here agonizing before his eyes. Causing Sei to feel the urge of wanting to destroy the world for making this person suffer like this.

Sei suddenly kissed her forehead hard before he stared at her eyes again, gently caressing her cheeks.

"Listen. It’s true that you broke your promise and left us but if you haven’t left, maybe right now, the world is still against me and hunting me down, making me unable to stay by your side freely. You were the one who made all these possible. You sacrificed your wings for me so I could fly again and gave me the opportunity to put everything to their rightful place. Do you understand?" He explained. Waves of emotions were dancing brightly in his gorgeous eyes. The intensity of emotions in his eyes and words rendered Davi unable to speak.

What he told her were actually the salvation she was seeking. Before this, she was desperately seeking justification to make herself believe that she didn’t leave them out of guilt. All this time, she was seeking vindication that will prove to herself that she wasn’t a coward and a cruel mother for leaving her son. This was all she was wishing for the entire five years and she couldn’t believe that she finally found it. She couldn’t believe that few words from Sei will make her felt like she’s been released from her nightmares.

That moment, Davi was so overcome with her feelings and before she knew it, she was already hugging Sei as tight as she could.

Sei gasped for a second but he immediately hugged her back even tighter, as if he finally found the long lost treasure that was much more important than his own life. The corner of his lips were raised as his heart was like a volcano about to erupt with happiness.

The wait is finally over. Sei could finally embrace her like this again and he didn’t know how to even begin to describe his feelings. He was beyond happy as if he was floating along with her above the clouds.

That point of time, their separated world once again intertwined. They don’t even know how long they held tightly in each other’s embrace. Until Sei found himself trying to kiss her.

However, before his lips touches hers Davi’s hands landed on his cheeks, stopping his advancement. Making him felt a heavy blow of disappointment.

He gazed at her, not hiding his eager desire to finally taste those lips again after a long time that seemed to have lasted a thousand years. He badly wanted to kiss her now, he just couldn’t wait anymore. However, before he could do a thing, Davi opened her mouth.

"Sei..." She finally called out his name for the first time in five years and Sei felt lightning struck him. The only thing that was different now was that he’s not freezing in place anymore. He didn’t turn into a statue like he used to five years ago.

"Mm. What is it? Do you still have something to say?" He asked gently, setting his desire aside for the mean time.

"T-there’s actually a problem with me." She admitted and Sei finally relaxed. This was one of the things he was waiting for her to confess.

"Say it... I will listen." He replied and Davi weakly bumped her head on his chest.

"I... I can’t smile nor cry anymore. I sought advice from a psychiatrist and was told that it might take time for me to heal myself and she was still unsure how my illness could be cured. But..." She said and she looked at Sei’s eyes again. This time Sei secretly smiled inwardly. It was because he could finally see the determination and fighting spirit in her eyes again. Those were the eyes of the girl that cured him half a decade ago. The eyes of the girl who never gave up on him and was always determined to give him her everything unconditionally.

"But... I want to be cured as early as possible. I wanted to smile for my son, I want to laugh along with him. I wanted to smile and cry again." She continued as her determination reached the highest peak and Sei couldn’t hide his happiness anymore. He smiled brightly in front of her and Davi fell in dazed.

"Did you know that a psychiatrist was useless for this kind of illness?" He asked with a meaningful smile Davi have never seen before.

"Back then, I couldn’t smile too but because of you, I was able to smile again." He continued and Davi’s mouth hanged open. She was puzzled.

"Be-because of me?" she replied, looking at him with both wonder and disbelief, as if she was trying to remember what did she do to make him smile again.

"Mm. The cure is actually simple. Come back with us now and I promise to cure you as fast as possible." He said and suddenly, Sei held her waist and leaned her on the car, not putting an inch of distance between them.
