The English pop song that filled Oscar's car could not drown out the laughter that escaped his lips. When the traffic light turned red, he turned around and pinched his son's cheek in exasperation.
"Smartass!" Oscar said curtly. When viewed from the side, William's face looks like Lisa. Not to mention his stubborn attitude, everything about William reminded him of Lisa.
William stroked his cheek, "It hurts!"
"But Pa, are you and Mama… Cool now?"
William suddenly remembered what had happened at the dinner table. His two parents couldn't stop filling each other's plates with the dishes. This made him sure that their relationship must have gotten better and that they might reconcile in the near future.
The green color of the traffic light shone on Oscar's face. The man stepped on the gas and went back down the deserted street that night. Hearing William's question made him flinch slightly.
"Cool?" Oscar asked himself. "Looks like it's still a work in progress."
Since William knew that Lisa was his mother, he didn't want their little family to have to live apart. Not a day goes by that he doesn't whine to his father about wanting to live with the three of them. As the only child who was still small and spoiled, he occasionally wanted to sleep in the middle of the bed, cuddled by his parents.
So actually, the one who hopes for Lisa and Oscar to go back together the most is William, not the two adults.
"Cheer up, Pa! If Papa needs help, tell me right away!" William said with full enthusiasm while showing his fist.
If someone asked William who was the person he loved the most in this world, the boy would have answered his parents. His affection for his father and mother is so great that he is willing to do anything so that they can be together again.
Once William and Oscar's plan succeeds to bring Lisa back into their lives, their little family will surely be complete!
Often William feels jealous to attend his school friend's birthday. At all the birthday parties he attends, whether it's at a restaurant or school, he always sees their parents coming and celebrating their child's birthday. During his birthday, William had never spent time with his parents. Usually, he spends the day with his mother until noon. Then, he will celebrate his birthday with his father in the evening.
Of the many women that William has met, whether it's beautiful employees who work under his father or his teachers, his mother is still the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. He once told Oscar that he only wanted to have one mother, and that's Lisa.
And when William said that, Oscar immediately agreed to the boy's request. He said that there was only one woman who filled the empty space in his heart, and it's the boy's mother.
Oscar laughed loudly, "You dare question Papa's ability to bring Mama back to our little family, huh?"
"Yes, of course. You are bad, you can never succeed in carrying out your plans, always have to ask me for help! Now, do you want to promise to bring Mama back to our little family?"
It's not Oscar if he doesn't insist on getting what he wants. Not long after the question left William's lips, the man smiled widely.
"Calm down. Mama will be living with us again soon!"
There was a feeling of relief that enveloped him when he heard his father's firm reply. William clapped his little hands a few times, "Cheer up, Pa! I'm waiting for that day to come!"
***
That night, even though the clock showed 11 o'clock at night, Lisa still couldn't sleep. She hid herself under the covers, hoping the voice in her mind would leave her alone. Her mind drifted away to Surya, who was probably lying cold in his grave now.
Lisa had tried everything to get herself to sleep early. The woman had tried to drink warm milk until meditation on her bed. But all her efforts were in vain. Every time she almost fell asleep, she would jolt to wake up because her eyes kept seeing Surya's face that she imagined when he took his own life.
Still under the same roof but in a different room, Vira couldn't sleep either. The woman looked up at the ceiling of her room with red cheeks and sparkling eyes. Her mind was filled with Oscar's handsome face, his athletic body, his strong hands, down to his broad shoulders.
Oscar Petersson, the handsome man every woman on this earth wished for, had just stepped foot in her apartment! Not only that, the man even joined the dinner in her residence!
All of his movements, his smile, his laughter, the cold look in his eyes, were all stored neatly in her brain. If she could tattoo the man's smile, Vira would have tattooed it on her forehead!
But suddenly, her mind fell to the memory that reminded her that Lisa and Oscar were once married. She recalled how Oscar looked at Lisa earlier in the dining room. The man's gaze looked so warm, not cold like the one he used towards her.
Not to mention that the two already have a baby together. Now, does she even have the chance to build a relationship with Oscar?
Oscar, Lisa and William. The three names cannot be separated at any time. Even though Oscar and Lisa are divorced, they are still William's parents. Even though they've been divorced for quite some time, people aren't stupid enough to know that they still loved each other.
But even so, Vira couldn't stop imagining what would happen if she and Oscar were into a relationship. If Oscar is her soul mate, it is certain that she will die happily.
Having the thought that Lisa and Oscar were married and still have feelings for each other made her heart heavy. For some reason, the woman suddenly didn't like their little family who might be reunited one day.
Thoughts after thoughts, plans after plans kept spinning around Vira's mind. It wasn't until she imagined what it would feel like to be kissed by Oscar that she realized something.
Vira got up from her bed, patted her cheek and said, "Vira, Sis Lisa is your best friend! Don't let yourself hurt her heart!"
