That night Cherry was lying on the sofa in her room
"I don't care what Anton and Thomas say, all this time they've always wanted me to forget Christian and not wait any more but I won't hear all their sayings" Cherry said
"Cherry, are you asleep?" jhon's voice was standing outside the room
"Pa, just come in" said Cherry who bkit from her sleep and sat down with leaning back
Clamps
"Cherry, papa can't sleep, and wants to talk to you" said Jhon who stepped up to the sofa and sat down with his daughter
"Papa, why can't you sleep?" tanya looked towards Jhon who was sitting beside her
"Cherry, is Anton coming today?"
"Yes, why Pa?"
"No, papa heard your talk"
"Pa, don't advise me anymore, I won't forget him until anytime" Cherry said firmly
"You know what you're thinking, this time you won't be advising you anymore, you just want to ask you something" Jhon said with a smile
"About what, Pa?"
"Cherry, if Christian hadn't come back, what would you have done?" asked Jhon curiously
"I will love her at all times" Cherry replied confidently
"Your age is young, Cherry, you're not 30 yet, are you sure you want to stay on this island forever and just stare at the sea and the trees and flowers in the yard?"
"Yes, this life is a gift from Christian, so I want to be here forever"
"Cherry, are you sure you want to live without the love of a man?"
"I'm sure, since I already have Christian's love that's more than enough, in this world there won't be another man who can come into my life, if Christian never comes back then I will keep our baby well, because Aaron is his flesh and blood, every time I see Aaron I look at him" Cherry explained
"Cherry, you're young, don't you regret spending the rest of your life on this island?"
"Pa, does papa still love mama?"
"Always, your mama's always in my heart"
"Pa, mom has been dead for so long, and Papa is also not married because of Papa's sincere love for mom, but also because of her, because Papa's love is a holy love, Papa cannot marry another woman, but Papa can still, just like me, I also do not need love from another man, christian's love is the greatest and most precious to me" Cherry explained
"If loving for no reason then it is holy love, because it is holy it will make you happy when you have it, and will make you suffer greatly in the moment of loss, this is what we experience" jhon
"I'm lucky to still have Aaron, even without Christian on my side, but Aaron is Christian's only descendant, so I'm happy to have him" Cherry said with a smile
"My daughter, Papa understands how you feel, if it's your choice then you just hope you're happy"
"I must be happy, because I have the love of the man I love, as well as having his son, this is more than enough"
"Alright, it's late, get some rest" said Jhon who got up from the sofa
"Good night, Pa" said Cherry
As John moved out of the room, Cherry lay back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling
"Good night Christian, all this time I just slept alone, no more hugs from you that can make me sleep comfortably" said Cherry who then closed her eyes
Jhon who was standing in his backyard while looking at the ocean with a recall of his daughter's words
"Lionela, look at the fate of our daughter as the same as ours, who loves each other but cannot be together, if between us are different worlds, while our son and daughter-in-law are different places" Jhon said
"Tell me what should I do? that love cannot be forced to forget, you gave her such great love for her and where perhaps she would turn to another man, she said, whatever my efforts with Anton and Thomas were but to no avail. Christian, my daughter just wants you" said Jhon, looking across the island
Next day
Cherry opened her eyes and looked towards the window looking at the radiance of sunlight shining on her sleeping self on the mattress
"Why can I sleep in a bed? as I remember last night I was sleeping on the couch, is it possible that my dad is holding me?" cherry Mumbles
"Definitely my papa back to see if I've been sleeping, I'm a grown up still like a child in his eyes, so take care of me even when I'm sleeping" murmured Cherry who came down from her bed
Breakfast together
"Grandpa, Aaron wants to eat chicken, so he can grow up quickly" said Aaron who was eating his breakfast
"Alright, well, my grandson is very good at choosing food" replied Jhon who was feeding his grandson
"Pa, let Aaron eat alone" Cherry said
"It's okay, papa wants to do it" replied Jhon with a smile on his grandson
"Grandpa, last night sleeping with Aaron, tonight Grandpa slept with Aaron again yes" said Aaron
"Aaron wants to sleep with grandpa again?" ask Jhon with a smile
"Yes" answered Aaron who was eating his meal
"Alright, Grandpa will always sleep while hugging Aaron every night" replied Jhon with a small laugh
"Papa pampered him a lot, he'd be a habit" Cherry said
"It's okay, did you know last night after papa came out of your room papa went straight to his room and when Aaron saw papa he had asked papa to sleep with him" explained Jhon chuckling
Hearing the words of John made Cherry curious
"Are you coming out of my room to Aaron's room?" ask Cherry curiously
"Not really, because it's still early to be papa to the backyard for a while and then papa went into Aaron's room and after that sleep" replied Jhon who was feeding his grandson
"Did you come into my room again last night?"
"No, papa fell asleep while hugging Aaron, so where is it possible to go to your room again"
"Am I moving on my own?" inner Cherry
Cherry who heard Jhon's answer became a question mark in her heart, not usually she will sleep while walking, and for the first time when she fell asleep she moved from the sofa to the mattress without her noticing.
"Maybe it's just my mind, maybe I forgot in the middle of the night I moved to bed" Cherry said
