As he wheels inside his bedroom, Edward finds Charlotte nodding off placing the magazine on her chest. She looks exhausted and pale at that time. He goes next to her, and gently rubs the middle of her eyebrows to help her relax before placing her head on the pillow. The moonlight dances on her sleepy, calm face in slow motion.
" You are the same as her. Pure and beautiful."
He whispers, gazing at the moon which is shining the world along with Charlotte's beautiful face. A sharp exhale leaves a bitter expression on his face, shrouding his heart with heaviness. He wheels outside, stopping before the garden.
" Edward! This garden is a sign of our unconditional love. We will shower with moonlight every month. Promise!"
Edward's corners of his lips curve into a sweet smile as his mind is reminded of those words, Replaying the scenes of a girl who was enjoying the moonlight, dancing under the moonlight, making promises that never happened to be fulfilled, and loving him unconditionally.
" I still miss you. My Moonshine!" His hands form the fist, inhaling the soft sweet scent of the blooming flowers. " But I think I am moving on. I found someone who can be like you. Caring and loving."
The soft wind hits his nostrils with the scent of flowers. He smiles, staring at the moon. Thinking something profoundly, he inhales and exhales once again. " Don't hate me. I can't give your place to anyone but I don't want to hold back the past. I want to see the future as a husband and a father."
Edward closes his eyes, wrapping the shawls around his shoulders. Love hurts, also love can heal. He doesn't have any plans for loving like a lovesick person. However, as a married man, he wants to do all of his duties and take the responsibilities. He wants to have a family like average people, a future where he will have someone to rely on and would be relied on. Charlotte claimed the place to share his future. Unknowingly, he allowed her to enter his privacy and claim her right.
Now he is aware that her presence in his life has a great impact that has can't deny or avoid.
Next morning...
Charlotte just opened the door of the closet when she noticed a blue shopping bag next to the bags of Edward and Suzy. Her eyebrows knitted, and she tilted her head, thinking about the bag that didn't belong to her. Since she knows something around her happening, even her food is corrupted with drugs. So, the bag is not giving her a good vibe.
She quietly, with alert holds the bag and walks towards the porch. However, she screams out loud as the bag falls off her hand when Suzy hugs her from behind.." Mama! We are going to grandma's house. "
" Suzy! You scared me!" She sighs, glancing at the bag, thinking that it wasn't a bomb or something, and then follows the legs which are covered with clothes.." Is everything okay?" Edward who watered the plants, rushes inside after hearing her screaming..
" N. No. It's fine. I was just -" She bends to get the bag but Edward holds it first.
" You didn't like this dress?" His voice was calm but disappointed.
" Dress?" She asked.
The silhouette of his sadness shows that he knew about this bag. She immediately snatches the bag away, looking inside.." I didn't buy it. Did you?"
She asked. Thus her eyes spark with excitement as the beautiful dress appears in front of her eyes. The shock crosses through her face, parting her lips away with a 'wow' tone.
" I thought to design it for you."
Design it for her? She is now on the cloud. Wondering when he was planning on designing something. However, the dress is breathtaking and shows off the designer's extraordinary design. No doubt, he is really great.
" It's beautiful, thanks -" She stops once again, as her eyes pull up and gaze down at him.." By any chance. Are you a Designer of El Libre..?"
Edward didn't expect her to ask that. El Libre was his very first design almost five years ago, he launched it. Although it was very popular at that time. But He was disappointed. As he expected, his first-ever design couldn't be the top one. However, seeing someone remembering his first work, somehow he feels Intrigued to know why she remembers that design and how she understood that he was the designer.
" How do you know that??" he asked not trying to hide his other self anymore. Although he designed the wedding dress she couldn't recognize that.
" No. I have been following the designer for a long time. El Libre was launched as the leisure of spring, refreshments, and coolness. The fabric that was used was silk with fallen leaves. I was so shocked when I felt like if I wore the dress, I would find myself in the field of Daisy. Maybe at that time, I had started working harder to become a famous designer. Is that really you?"
Her words reached to him like a silent melody. She is right. Her every word has explained what he thought while designing it. The dress he designed was for someone very special to him. He met her for the first time in the field of Daisy. The girl was enjoying the weather and the flowers. His eyes were blessed with her beautiful gesture, small dance steps touched his lonely soul. Instead of enjoying the spring Vacation, he found his love. He imagined how she would look in this dress and when the soft soles of her feet would touch the cold, soft grass. Would she look so natural in this dress? Would she be like a fairy who had come to enjoy the vacation.?
With all kinds of questions in his mind, he designed the dress. But He was disappointed when no one had understood the meaning behind the dress. He did find her, the girl who stole his heart but she wasn't a fan of spring either. She wanted to dance somewhere alone and she did not care about the beautiful nature.
Finally, someone has appeared who could feel the reason behind it without telling. Edward sighs deeply, looking at her. " You observed everything. Then why didn't you understand that your favorite designer had done the same design for your wedding dress?"
Edward asks. Charlotte shrugs in response.." I was actually overwhelmed with the dress. It was really beautiful. I didn't notice that much since I believed till now, that he and you are different person."
" That makes sense. " He responded.
" OK. Now Let's get ready. And Thank you for the dress. It's really breathtaking. I won't be able to design a masterpiece like this." She sulks but smiles at the dress.
" You can do it. Just keep working hard!" Edward cheers her up although he inspires her the most.
" Yes. Let's go. We need to attend the wedding first. Remember! You have to wear what I bought."
Edward laughs nodding his head. Charlotte smiles a little in response, taking Suzy to her room to change.
After Charlotte leaves with Suzy, Jay, Edward's secretary knocks on and makes himself in the room. Edward frowns, seeing his secretary returning.." Why are you here right now?"
" The gift you prepared for the wedding. I have bought it!" Jay responds politely and professionally.
" Good. And Don't let anyone find out about the matter. Even Charlotte. I want her to find everything out by herself."
"Yes. Boss!"
