But I met the man who I think will be with me for the rest of my life. I love Cervin Raeson Vesalius, even though I was still studying in college, I immediately accepted his marriage proposal.
I was serious when I agreed to marry him because he loved me. It wasn't long before we had a child. Renna Cerae, my beautiful daughter. He is one year and five months old. He doesn't know how to speak yet.
"Mommy is going to enter their school again and you will be left with your Momma again, my baby..." I said with a smile and picked her up. I kissed her cheek several times. He kept on laughing.
"Ah...Mommy!" I also kissed his neck because his laughter got louder. I sat on the sofa and laid her on my lap, I didn't stop kissing her and tickling her. He was crying because of his laughter.
Even though I'm still wearing my uniform, it doesn't matter because I prefer to hear my baby's voice.
"Hon, you'll be late," said my husband and as he was about to take Cerae from me, I hugged her tightly and kissed her sense.
"I still want to hug my baby, eh. I seem to miss him every day. What if, I'm just absent, babe?" I asked and he shook his head.
"You need to, even if you don't take your studies too seriously," he said.
"No, Cerae is mine first," I said and our baby laughed again. He also hugged me and leaned on my chest.
"Cashren, honey..."
"Leave me alone, babe. I feel that I will never see my baby Cerae again."
"What are you talking about? God, Cashren. You will probably be with our son every day and every night," he said.
I stared at Cerae's face for a while, he looks like his Daddy and even though I see him all the time, I still miss him. It seems like the times I spend with him are not enough.
"I love you, baby Cerae... You really make Mommy happy," I said softly and he touched my cheek so I bent down so he could kiss my cheek. "What a sweet, baby..."
"Cerae is mine, Mommy will take care of him again." At this moment, I feel like I don't want to be away from our son, but I can't do anything else because I have school.
And I think, Cerae also feels that I miss her right away because it seems that she doesn't want to be separated from me either. So the three of us cuddled for a long time then I stopped.
I closed her small face and kissed her lips. "I love you, so much, baby Cerae."
I also kissed my husband's cheek then I went out. Cervin only drives me to school once because I drive my car, eh.
Before I left, I looked at our mansion. It lasted for a few seconds. I don't know why until school I still carry my fear even though there is no reason for me to be so nervous.
So instead of focusing on our class, my mind was on our mansion. I feel like I want to see my father and son again, eh. Especially my Cerae.
In college, my cousins are no longer with me because both their parents decided to let them study abroad. They have no choice but to follow. I can't say that they are my best friends but we still always talk even if it's just for a few minutes.
When our class was dismissed in the afternoon, I was the first to stand up and I even preceded our prof.
I immediately called my husband. "I will pick up Cerae. I'm going home," I said.
"Are you sure, hon?"
"I have my car with me, babe. He's also at Mommy's house at this moment, right?" I asked him.
"Yes. Okay, take care. I love you."
"I love you too, babe," I said and hung up the phone.
I don't know if today can be called a bad day because when I got into my car it didn't seem to want to start. So, I went down to check but only saw that its tire was flat. That's why you don't want to move, eh.
Maybe I'll just get it later. I have to pick up my son first.
I grabbed my backpack and started walking. I kept looking at the students who were walking with me. The subdivision where my mother-in-law lives is far away so I looked for a taxi that I could take.
When the traffic light turned green, I crossed the pedestrian lane but...my eyes caught the white car heading in my direction. I tried to avoid but I failed, because it was driving fast and I was hit.
I first felt the hard object hit my head and my knees went numb when it hit too. I was almost deafened by the force of the pounding on my chest and I felt a sharp pain in my head. I also fell on the road and moaned softly. I stared at that car that stopped.
I don't know at that time it was like no one saw the accident because no one helped me. I was just lying on my back and I could see a lot of blood on my head. It's so heavy that I can't move it and this is what it feels like to have an accident. I feel severe pain in my body and I feel like I'm going to run out of breath.
I couldn't even speak. My tears flowed because I felt... I would never see my father and son again. Is it my time?
I still have many dreams that I want to achieve, dreams for my baby with Cervin but... It seems that the Lord will take me back soon. Even though I was in such a state, I was able to smile bitterly.
Until I saw the...green stiletto. It's girl... The driver of the white car is indeed a woman. Even though my eyes were getting blurry and I was having trouble moving, I tried to look up to see his face. I didn't... I didn't make a mistake because she was a girl.
"P-Please... P-Please...h-help me..." But I realized that he meant to hit me because he was just staring at me. He held my hand and took off Cervin and I's wedding ring. "Please... H-Help m-me..." I begged him.
Little by little, my vision darkened and even my heartbeat slowed down. I was catching my own breath until... everything went blank.

THIRD PERSON'S POV
Inside a private room, the woman was lying on a hospital bed. Because of the big head wound, she had a head injury and was revived several times by doctors and almost died. There is no sign that she will wake up so there is a large percentage that she's in a coma and only mask oxygen is giving her life.
"Do you love that man so much that you are willing to hurt someone else?!" the man shouted loudly at the woman.
"I'm desperate, Xenus!"
"But why do you have to hurt the girl?!"
"How can I get Cervin if there is an obstacle to my plan? And why did you even save her?!"
"Margaret, can't you see how she is?" he asked and pointed to the unconscious woman.
"When have you ever felt sorry for other people, Xenus?" she mocked him.
"Look, she can hardly move her body anymore and she is still comatose. Her brain injury is so bad that she might... It's possible that she won't wake up again," the man said worriedly and he knew that it would be a big mess if it was even possible for her to wake up.
"That's good, Xenus. So that nothing can stop me anymore and nothing will stand in the way of my plan to get the man I want," she said desperately.
"Why? Why can't you just choose me, Margarette?"
"Are you kidding me, Xenus? Even though I'm not your Aunt's real daughter, I'm still your cousin. That will never change," she said with a smile. "That girl. Let her die or if you want, just take her to Denmark and just love her," she blurted out.
"No. I will still return her to her family."
"Xenus! Don't you dare!"
"You can't stop me, Margarette!"
"Fine! Do what you want, but I'll kill her before you can even return her to her family!" The woman quickly approached the patient and it was too late to stop her because the oxygen mask had already been removed.
"Margarette, fvck!" The heart monitor immediately started making noise and the BP was dropping.
