My Miracle and Dawn

I smiled at the breeze that touches my skin. I smile at the coos of the birds that flies in the sky. The whispers of the waves that touches the land.

If only it could be always like this.

"mommy!!"  

and there it is, the star that lit my life. Someone that I would protect, love and cherish for the rest of my life.

"brother is fighting with brother spencer."

I run bare foot at the sand, each step weighing me down, the hem of my skirt dusted with the sand.

my breathing hitched as I see at my son and spencer being held back by their uncles. their lips were bleeding an swollen while their eyes dark and glaring at each other. my son's fist still balled up. he's still shaking in anger as Runo hold him firmly.

"what happened?"

"Jojo?"

"how did this happen?"

"uhh. the thing is. . ."

I faced my child who doesn't seem to know that I am here. I smiled at him and hold his fisted small hands.

"what's wrong?"

"mommy?"

"hmm?"

"what's wrong?"

He suddenly cried, slumped in the ground while crying loudly. My heart broke at the sight. I've never seen my son this heart broken. I held my hands out and hug him. I let him feel that I am not angry but concerned.

he keeps on crying while I caress his hair.

"sshhh"

I hummed to him, the same song my mother sing to me, hoping that this song will calm him down. His breathing slowly become normal. I released him from my hug, his eyes were puff red, I caress his cheeks and smiled. 

"will my brave knight tell me what happened?"

"I didn't do anything wrong."

"I really didn't, eomma!"

"I know, I know. I just want to know why my very brave knight fight with a friend. Will you please tell eomma?"

"He. . . . He. . . ."

"WAAAHHHH!"

We all turned to my daughter who now started crying as well. She sat on the ground and cry continuously.

"It's my fault mommy! It's all my fault!!"

I looked at the others and then come to my daughter to calm her down.

"Baby, what's wrong? what happened?"

"I was drawing here, when brother Spencer came to me. . . . ."

she sniffed as she told us what happened. Apparently, Spencer came to her while she was drawing then laughed at her drawings. While she was trying to get her drawings back, Spencer accidentally pushed her to the ground. My son saw him pushing her so he pushed him to the ground and the fight started.

"SPENCER! Come here now!"

The young boy shivered in fear at the voice of his father. He glared at the boy while he hide more to his uncle's back. 

"take it easy. He's still just a child."

"No, he has to learn his mistake."

I agreed with him but this is not the right way. 

"Spencer, will you please speak with me?"

He slowly moved toward me while looking at the ground. 

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

"I'm not really angry, I'm sad. Looking at both of you with bruises makes me really sad. I really don't like seeing you or my son or my daughter to be in pain and right now, that bruises must be really painful, is it not?"

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to play."

"I know, I believe you but look, both of you are in pain and it makes me really sad."

The two boys looks at each other, both looking very guilty. They said sorry to each other and give each other a hug while spencer also apologized to my beloved.

"Can you draw me next time?"

"Okay. I will draw you and my brother."

After cleaning and tending to their wounds, the children went away together with a smile, leaving us adults looking at them.

"look at that. They were bawling their eyes out just minutes ago, now they look like best friends."

"Aren't you happy that it's resolved?"

"I'm sorry for what my son did. He's a bit. . ."

"Hey, it's okay. It's hard to be single parent, I know that."

"Are you really going to return to Korea?"

"It's our home and It's been years, I don't want to run anymore."

"what about them? will you tell them anything?"

"I don't really want too but let's see."

"Hey, if you need anything, call us, Okay?"

"Okay."

I walk back to the shore where I left my things. the painting of the bubble that floated in the sea looks even better when you view it from afar. My last piece of Bubble Collection. Inside the bubble are floating bubbles shaped in hearts while the bubble floats in the sea like it's being washed away. 

It reminded me of Love Alarm. I hear it is still a thing back there. I have to no reason to use it anymore though. 

"Mommy!!"

I smile at the running children toward me. They both stretched their hands as I decide to carry my Miracle first while my dawn hug my legs.

"me too, mommy. Me too!"

I smile at my cute gifts as I lay the other down and carry my son.

"look, do you like it?"

"Akira, Sachi?"

"umm!"

Both of them replied as we look at the new painting that I just made earlier. 

"Are you excited to come home?"

"home?"

"Yes, we're coming back to where mama was born."

"Really? Really? I'm going to see where mama was born?"

"Of course! do you want too?"

"YES!"

I lay him down as well as we three sit down and gaze at the painting. both of them hugged me from each side, clinging to me tightly. I smile as I tightly hold them both as well. The happiness and hope both has given me is the best gift I ever received. 

I want to do everything to give them the same amount of hope and happiness they give me. I'm not sure if coming back is a good decision but I don't want to run away anymore. I want to give them a home. A place to call their own. I want them to know where they belong and if in the future they want to know who He is? Who their father is, then I will tell them. The person that made me the happiest person, with or without his presence. 

'Sun oh.'

I kissed both of them in the cheeks and laid with them on the sand. Our bodies, tightly hugging each other. 

"I love both of you the best!!"

"I love you most in the world!!"

"I also love mommy most in the world!!"

"Me too! Me too!! Mommy is the best mommy in the world!!"
