Sei felt like his heart was about to explode. If this was a dream, he wouldn’t like to wake up anymore. Davi, his dear wife who disappeared for five years was now in his arms. He could finally felt warmth again. The glaciers in his heart melted like they never exist before. With a single embrace, those five years seemed to just turned into a long nightmare that finally ended.
The feelings in his heart was overflowing. He wanted to kiss her hard, he wanted to chain her so she can’t go away anymore.
“I need to go back, I’m a soldier, I need to obey my superior’s order.” She said. Her voice was callously forced. And Sei couldn’t blame her for being like this.
Five years ago, Sei actually planned to bury the truth forever. It was because it was the only choice he has that time. He will never put Davi to risk so he wanted to hide the truth from her, but things change the moment she disappeared. Her disappearance forced him to reveal the truth. It was because Sei knew that she chose to leave so that he could reveal everything and clear his name. He understood that Davi might have blamed herself for his misery and that she knew that Sei will choose to hide the truth, that was why she chose to leave them so that Sei will finally be freed.
It was hard to accept but her disappearance was what made Sei’s plans for those entire five years possible. He knew that no matter how great his plans are, if he wasn’t free to execute them, it’ll be all useless. His plan to clear her father’s name and permanently shift all the blame to the Blackleaf took him long four years because he needed to get the trust of the world first to make it possible. He needed to build a formidable empire and become powerful enough to turn the world upside down as he wished. He knew very well that if Davi didn’t disappeared that time and Sei wasn’t forced to reveal the truth, maybe, the freedom he was seeking was still bleak until now.
Sei completely understood her because if he was in her shoes, he will definitely do the same. Even though it was too painful to accept, he was aware that in this life, if you want to change something, you have to sacrifice your everything. And whether she was aware of it or not, his dearest wife was the brave soul who sacrificed her everything and suffered alone for long five years.
Those five years, Sei knew both of them has suffered and he knew she suffered more than him. He could see the pain in her eyes while she looked at her son and it’s suffocating him. He couldn’t even imagine just how much she suffered to become a part of a special force. And the thought of it was killing him. Her long five years of suffering was enough, he will never let her suffer anymore. Their long war was finally over, and they will finally live freely in this world.
“Davi, it’s over now. Everything is fine now. You don’t need to hide anymore. Come back to us now.” Sei said. His voice was hoarse and filled with uncontrollable emotion.
Hearing his words, Davi turned and her eyes widened.
“I heard you just came from a yearlong secret mission so you might not hear it yet but the case was over. Your father’s name was cleared, the Blackleaf was the one guilty. Comeback to me. Me and our son have been waiting for you all this time.” He explained and shock enveloped Davi’s heart.
“H-h-how could that be possible?” She stammered. She knew that after Sei revealed the truth, his father was blamed, hated and cursed by the whole world. Sei never revealed the reason why her father blasted the town in the media but some intelligence knew about it, that was why Davi was forced to stay inside a submarine submerged in the middle of deep ocean for her safety.
Davi couldn’t believe it. What did he do to alter the truth?
“You are the one who made it possible.” He replied and Davi’s eyes again widened in disbelief.
