Days change months and months change years, it does not feel now 3 years have passed quickly. Lewis graduated at the age of 22. “Come smile!” brian shouted at Lewis who was wearing a toga accompanied by his parents and of course Caitlin who had grown into a beautiful girl aged 17 years. After graduation, they will stay in Florida for 1 year until Caitlin graduates from high school and continue her education at the best campus in Chicago.
Everyone smiled cheerfully at the camera, Caitlin who was beside Lewis immediately kept her distance again after the photo event was completed. Yup, you can guess not if the relationship between Lewis and Caitlin can not improve as easily as Lewis thought, every time Lewis wanted to approach Caitlin he always kept his distance and spoke as necessary to Lewis, as for Austin and Selena, Caitlin has gotten used to the little attention her adoptive parents give her, they are sincere and give Caitlin whatever is best for her. Almost every 6 months Selena comes and takes Caitlin all day shopping whatever Caitlin wants, awkwardness does not seem to apply if you are near Selena who is always full of affection, she said, as if she had found Mary in Selena, the way she calmed Caitlin and the gentle strokes on her head were as good as what Mary had done before.
“Brian thank you,” Selena said while taking her camera and seeing the full photo of her small family. “Oh yes, let's prepare to visit Maria's grave first, after that we will have lunch, this time our beloved Daddy has already ordered lunch at Hotel Lux.”
Brian who heard that opened his mouth in disbelief, he approached Selena and showed his enthusiasm. “Really? Waw, I really want to go there!”
Lily, Brian's mother could only shake her head slowly while giving a sharp look as a warning sign so that she did not behave like that. “Really? Then this is your lucky day,” kekeh Selena slowly and embrace Brian's body which is quite high.
Caitlin's smile expands slowly, she is pleased with the warm atmosphere created by Selena, another one that makes Caitlin very fond of Selena, he never forgot to visit Mariam's grave every visit to Florida. “You brought me?” Caitlin turned to the side and got Lewis who was holding out his hand as if he wanted to take a bottle in Caitlin's hand.
Lewis could only smile wryly at the futile outstretch of his hand, either having to use any means to get close to Caitlin and remove the dividing wall between them. He realized the mistake he had made was very big, if he became Caitlin would not be possible Lewis open the door to apologize to his own mother's killer. A light pat on his shoulder made Lewis turn his head and get his Daddy looking at Lewis in the shade. “You must keep trying, sooner or later Caitlin will definitely consider you as her family, you just need to be warm like Mommy and Caitlin will not be awkward to think of you as her brother.”
“Good Dad, I'll try again.”
Austin nodded his head. “Ah, yes, Daddy has signed a cooperation contract with Mr. Kim, for this one year while waiting for Caitlin to graduate you can start working in her office first, tomorrow you meet her and talk about when you start ready to work,” Austin said.
“Ya Dad,” Lewis replied with certainty, his gaze was back on Caitlin who was talking to Brian, who was, maybe he was too rigid in approaching Caitlin so that the distance between them seemed so far away.
