Chapter 15

3rd Person Pov
Luan was about to follow Solstice, but he stopped when Baba asked him a question. 
 
“I repeat the question Luan. Are you still planning to file an annulment?! “ Baba asked with anger in his voice, looking at the paper in his hands. 
 
Luan turned around to face Baba. “As what I was about to say earlier, I actually was planning to confess my feelings for her and decided not to file an annulment before.“ 
“Follow her now, if you want to find her, she was in her laboratory,maybe. I know my daughter, if she was in pain, she was doing the time machine in her laboratory to finish it. “ Baba folded the paper he was holding. 
“Why is she there building a time machine?“ Luan was filled with curiosity.
 
“She was building a time machine to go back in time. If she goes back in time, she will change her decision.“ Baba sighed and rubbed the side of his forehead in a circular motion with his two fingers.
Luan was feeling scared by the words he had heard. If she wanted to go back in time to change her decision, well, Luan wanted to go back in time just to treat her better before. He was feeling something heavy in his heart. 
“Before you go, she had some good news, but I don't want to tell you. Fix your problems with her, fix the misunderstanding and ask her what the news is. You may now go chase your wife. “ Baba motioned for Luan to go now. 
It was him now who was chasing.
Solstice's Pov
I came here in my laboratory even though there were no people here. It's rest day but I want to work and finish this time machine.
I can't take this anymore. I need to finish this. I need to time travel now. I want to change my life now. I don't want to suffer because of this stupid love. 
 
I gathered my tools and the other materials I had to use. I looked at my time machine. It will be done soon. I need to make this faster. 
 
I started to make the time machine while tears were falling down. I wiped my tears and I froze as I heard someone open the door.
I heard the voice that I wished I never heard even once.
“Sol... “ I heard him say, but why do I feel so much pain in his voice?
 
“It's working hours, sir. Please get out.“ I ignored him and kept working on the time machine. 
 
“No and it's everyone's rest day today, you just want to build that time machine to leave me! You're going to leave me! “his voice broke as he yelled at me. 
 
I turned around and saw tears streaming down from his eyes. “Why are you yelling? Did I ever yell at you when you kept leaving me? I never,right? Why do you act like you're afraid that I will leave you? “I questioned him and I fell on my knees.
“Why do I act like I'm afraid that you'll leave me? Do you want to know? It's because I love you! Do you get it? Now that I have fallen in love with you, you're going to leave me? “
 
He grabbed a hammer from the side and threw it at the time machine, breaking it. 
 
“Do you want to use this, huh? You're going back in time and leave me? “ He approached the time machine I made and punched it, breaking it into pieces. He looked around,searching for something and he saw the design on the paper.
I followed his gaze and there was a feeling that I had to move and get the design to hide it.
“N-no, don't touch that," I cried as I crawled towards the paper, but I was too late. He ripped it into smaller pieces where I could no longer mend it. 
 
“I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything, " he suddenly said. His voice lowered. He approached me and hugged me tightly,nuzzling on my neck.
“I'm sorry, Solstice. I'm sorry. I'll be good now. I regret everything. Just please— don't leave me, “ his voice cracked, I could feel his hot tears fell on my skin.
“I'm tired now, Luan. I want it to stop. I did everything for you. You replaced my love for you with pain. I'm sorry. I'm giving up now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. “I cried, trying to get out of his embrace. 
“I'm tired now Luan... “ I mumbled
“Please.. I love you," he muttered, holding me tightly so I wouldn't get out of his embrace. 
“Finally... “ I chuckled painfully
“Finally, you love me...you finally love me now.“
"Ahh... " I gasped as I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I placed a palm on my abdomen. I looked down at the lower part of my body. “B-blood... t-this can't be... L-luan.. o-our baby..“
"W-what baby?! You're pregnant? " Luan asked and placed his palm over my hand on my abdomen. He looked down and saw blood in my pants.
My vision was blurry, and I was heavily exhaling. "O-our baby—" I mumbled as my vision went black and I collapse on top of him.
3rd Person Pov
Luan panicked and immediately brought his wife to the hospital.
He was walking back and forth in front of the room. He brought her to a private room where every person who was there would know that Solstice was his wife. 
The doctor came out from the room and told him to come in.
“You may come in now, “ the doctor said and Luan did not waste any time, he immediately walked in the room.
“L-luan.. Our baby is gone.. My baby..“ Tears were falling from her eyes again.
It hurts to know that before he could know that his wife was pregnant, the baby was already gone. 
 
Luan sat beside her and held her hand. He remained silent and placed her palm on his cheek, leaning into her palm. Solstice looked at him as she felt hot tears falling down her palm. 
Nothing is more agonizing for Solstice than losing a child. She put her palm on her stomach and felt the emptiness inside. This is far more painful than Luan's harsh words, and it's even more painful than when Luan left her.
“B-baby...why did you left mommy?W-why? Why do people kept leaving me? “
“Sol... Please take a rest. You must take a rest. " He adjusted Solstice's pillow, making sure that she was comfortable.
"Can I take a rest now? Is it possible to take a rest from everything? Is there a place to rest where I won't experience any pain? Is it okay if I go with my baby? I'd like to be with him or her... " She gave Luan a glance. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
“I-i lost my baby Luan... How could I rest? How could I rest knowing that my baby just die? How? Tell me? How? “ Her heart was aching, it was hurting too much.
“I want to die.. I want to be away from all of this pain you're causing me.. “
“I'm sorry.. I caused you too much pain Sol, “ Luan caressed Solstice's cheek with his thumb.
“Don't be sorry please... I deserve to suffer like this.. I deserve this... I took you your freedom to love someone you want.. “ she mumbled and held his hand to stop him from caressing her cheek.
“No one deserve to suffer like this.. “ he kissed her forehead, crying. “I'm sorry Sol, I'm sorry please”
Luan leaned his forehead against hers. "I wish I could turn back the time so that I could treat you better before.“ His tears were falling down her face.
“Me, I wish that I could travel back in time.... So that I wouldn't choose you..so that I wouldn't feel this pain..”
It broke Luan, hearing those words from solstice. He knew that he deserved those painful words from her. If he just treated her better, this thing wouldn't happen. They won't lost their first baby. 
Solstice fell asleep after an hour of crying and Luan was just sitting there beside her. He looked at her and kissed both of her eyes, “ I'm sorry for hurting you.“
He placed a palm on her stomach gently, “ baby, I'm sorry for hurting your mommy. Daddy promise to take care of your mommy now. “
Luan held her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
“ I'm so sorry, “ he mumbled
