A few months later...
Sarang never has felt more alive. How this new chapter has shaped her positivity in new ways. Her hobbies have been secretive now she paints a new room happily but hides secretly the results. Safe for her bundle with promise in mind. A charcoal base sketch of what she envisions in theme for her bundle. Before color is introduced, which she asks if her husband can do so or have a professional come over to finish the work. How modest Zain was to allow a professional after a respectful comment about perserving her art. "We already have the best collaboration to date, a wonderful creation it is Sarang." Zain reassures Sarang. She smiles and continues as the morning brings her more energy.
Zain keeps the pressure of awaiting what surprises come ahead. He hasn't discussed with his wife yet but there is something she has not disclosed either. They talk in passing during morning meal. He is excited but she is concerned. Knowing it may mean travel or abscence. She has been avoiding him purposefully but her love still remains. "No one understands. I do not want to know. He will be gone I am sure of it." Sarang talks quietly on the phone. "How do you know? Just reason with him it may not be what you think. One chance?" The person on the phone says."But appa I-" She says
"Is there a sad tone? Why is him traveling bad for you two? Maybe he needs to work briefly before your surprise. Just let me talk with him for understanding. Understand?" "내" she says."헐은번아점이시금아로아십다안이요.네믄어너게를하시사회데츰츰이는이유십다. 아파,아라서. 사랑해." Sarang holds on to the phone a little longer and holds back tears. "울지마사랑해내따님. I am here for you no matter what. Just keep your happiness and know I am proud of you. Stay calm for your surprise. I have to go but I will talk with him but you do the same. It is big change for everyone, talking helps."Mr. Park says. "Thank you appa. I hope to see you soon." Sarang says and hangs up the phone. She walks back out to join him as Zain has been waiting patiently has not even touched his meal without her being present. Sarang smiles and joins him at the table. "You waited" she says smiling so brightly."I have. I will always you can count on that. I have news." Zain says as he grabs her hand and kisses it. "I have a business venture that has expanded. As CEO. I can work at my own leisure now but work nonetheless.! It is so exciting. I have been wanting to tell you." "So what does that mean?" She says. "Meaning I choose when and where as boss. I finally own my business I have worked hard for 100%. no middle man. I finally am achieving my dream! Babe, I do not have to travel anymore unless you come with me and when surprise gets here they will come too as a family. I knoe you were worried about travels or being alone I promised you different and I will be that for you. I love you Sarang."Zain reassures with a smile. " Honey!, you had me worried. I am grateful to knkw now I can stop hiding." She says with a playful laugh. "Hiding?" He smiles and chuckles. "Yes, my emotions have become my ally and enemy depending on food and sleep" Sarang says jokingly. "Well how can I ease this common issue we both share?" Zain says. "I think times like this work perfectly." "I have a new surprise."Sarang says sheepishly. "I do not want to know unless surprise has a name. Can we name?" "How did you-" she says. "I know you silly" he says. "Well, my dream I saw a gem, a gem. It was on the coastline gleaming on the horizon. Like a star but on the horizon. Strange right?"she says." It is not. my dream was same but at night that is why I mistaken it for a star. Right on the horizon." Zain responds. "Name?" They look and say at same time the name..."Stone".
"뷸" a notion of dream how wishing is not enough. But the dream is everything and more to inspire with just one word. This...a start on a new horizon. They finish conversation over a second helping as their talk can go on for more time. Smiles in their faces,laughs ensure pure happiness. A blissful encounter. While the start of a new day brings new beginning...
