When the Camellia blooms

Camellia Blooms - EPILOGUE

Camellia

The Victorian language of flowers tells us that the flower Camellia symbolizes the longing for another.

A flower that can only be seen as an ornament have a meaning behind its beauty.

Longing.

So I was longed for? Someone was longing for me? But who and why, those are questions that I sometimes think of.

When I was in middle school, someone I dont know will always and without fail, secretly give me Camellia flowers.

In my life, I never really understood why he did that.

Maybe it's because I did a good deed at him or maybe it's because of his genuine feelings for me, I'm not sure.

All I know is that I'm grateful that someone has liked me, and that's enough.

...

"Yuu! I told you to stop buying dresses!"

I snapped at my now husband of three years, Yuu, and as usual he's sulking and having a tantrum again.

"But the baby needs it!" He said with a whine and I can almost see myself getting red from frustration.

"You're sleeping on the floor tonight"

He looked shell shocked at my words and finally shed non-existent tears. Of course I wouldn't fall for that again, remembering the time he said that it'll be the last time but he still continued, dream on!

I pushed our cart out of the baby section and payed for our things before going home.

Caressing my round belly, it's been six four months since I've leaned that I was pregnant.

I can still vividly remember the tears that poured on Yuu's face as he hugged me and almost swing me. My parents and my in-laws were so delighted they immediately went into a shopping spree.

Of course the father of the child wouldn't go without a fight and went into a shopping spree together with our parents.

If I can't control my parents and in-laws, I can always control Yuu, so I did and now he's sulking.

I went inside my room and watched TV, before I knew it, a pair of familiar hands were massaging my back.

I couldn't help but groan at his expert hands, since he leaned that I am pregnant with twins, he became a mother hen. Always nitpicking every action, every food and limiting everything I do.

Of course I was happy that he's pampering me but sometimes, I wanted to smack the hell out of his face when he said enough every time I ate too much.

"Callia...please...just once?" He tried to appeal once more but I hardened my will.

My babies aren't even born yet their grandparents and their father is already spoiling them. This is not good, I won't let my precious children to be a spoiled little brat.

"No and you'll sleep on the floor for a week"

I laughed at his darken face as I ate peanuts while I watch some drama.

Serves you right.

...

"It's all your fault! Argh! Ahh! Yuu... I'll...I'll...kill you! Ahh!" I was trembling from the pain on my stomach.

I'm in labor and Yuu is on my side with his hands getting crushed and his hair getting plucked out by my demonic hands.

I could faintly see the grimace on the doctor's face as he tried to calm me down but it only aggravated me more.

I focused my anger and pain towards Yuu and grab his wrist and bit into it as I screamed again.

Of course he deserves it, he can only feel the pleasure of meeting his children while I need to go through hell for bringing them into the world.

"I'm sorry! We won't have any more children! It'll be the last time!" He promised as his face crumbled from the pain on his hands.

"Damn right! Ahh!"

And another hour had passed before I could meet my precious angels. I think it's been eight hours since I've delivered them and some time has passed when I finally collapsed from the fatigue my body experienced.

Opening my eyes, I met Yuu's face as he slumbered on the chair with his hands tightly holding mine.

He seemed to notice my actions on calling him when he felt my hands moving.

"Callia"

"Yuu....our children?" My voice was too hoarse and I could feel my body sag from tiredness.

"Here, have a drink"

After drinking from a straw, he finally brought our children with me. A girl and a boy, they were still a bit red and wrinkled but I felt my heart tightening up.

"My angels" I cried as I kissed their foreheads alerting them.

"They have your eyes" Yuu said as he kissed our baby girl.

I grinned at my precious angels, after nine months of prolonged nausea and morning sickness along with unusual cravings and pain in the back, seeing them in front of me, every pain was worth it.

"I love them" I couldn't help but whisper, afraid to wake them up.

"Me too"

Months have passed and we are currently watching our little munchkins playing with Alice's kids. They were making funny faces as my kids laugh at them making my heart feel full just by looking at them.

"Callia, for you"

I didn't notice that my friends have already left and we are the only person in the room. Alice winked at me as they held our children and closed the door.

Looking at Yuu, I saw him bringing a bouquet of Camellia flower. It was surprising at first but I held it to my embrace and gave him a sweet smile.

"You.... seriously...thank you"

"Happy fourth anniversary love"

He remembered! I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips. He grinned on the middle of our kiss and deepened our kiss. I leaned on him, taking in some breath after our passionate kiss.

"Did you know I was the person who secretly gave this to you when we were in middle school?"

I pulled out from his embrace, my eyes bulgung and my heart thumping fast. I was still blank at his words but then he kissed my lips and I was finally free from my thoughts again.

"What?" I breathlessly ask him, my palm sweaty from nervousness.

"I was the one who gave you Camellia flowers, it's the only thing I can give you since I was still a student, plus, it reminds me of your name" he smiled as if his words didn't made a huge impact on my life.

Seriously, how could he do this- how can I mistaken him from someone else? Argh! Stupid me!

"You....I really really love you"

I can only say those words and kissed him. It doesn't matter anymore, he's mine now.

Forever and always.

And in our window, you can see some Camellia flowers blooming. It was his personal request and although I find it weird for a man to do that, I never did ask him. Looking at the clues around me, how follish of me.

And as the Camellia blooms, my last and final love has already started.
