Epilogue- Family 1

It was the most beautiful night. They kissed, they nestled into each other's arms; they confessed their love for each other, however, a swarm of emotions took over Suyin. Tears stream down her cheeks as she kept on apologizing over and over.

"Shhh...It's alright, love. All's well that ends well. Now that we are together, I'm already forgetting those bitter moments." Wang Shi whispered, holding her in his embrace and running his fingers through her wet, tangled hair.

She looked up from his chest, catching his eyes blood red. "I-I thought we would never--"

"Shhh....I've got you--This is over-- Don't say--" he couldn't finish, his throat painfully tightening. The same fear he had faced as well. But seeing the compassion and love in her eyes, now it seems worth it. 

Peaceful silence engulfed them. They forgot the world around them by lying in each other's arms. Her wet body burrowed into him, both clutching each other tightly as if life depends on it.
