JENIFER'S P.O.V

I wake up little early than usual. Well, there only one day when I wake up without any alarm, my parents death anniversary. Today it is there 6th death anniversary. Six years ago our lovely mom and dad left us forever. The only question I asked god that time was how could he do this to them? To us?

They were the best of all. Everyone in their friends circle, our families adored them. Sam and I loved them to the core, they loved us so much then why?

Why did he took away our most priced possession from us?

I was so engrossed in my thoughts I didn't realise when Damian hugged me from back placing kisses on my shoulder.

"Good morning." He said

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" I ask him turning to face him.

"The best sleep ever, because my beautiful girlfriend was sleeping next to me." He pulled me onto his lap.

"You have mastered the art of sweet talk Mr. Wilson." I gave him a teasing smile.

"That I have. What were you thinking?" His expression told me he knew.

My eyes brimmed with tears, I smiled.

"I miss them." I said in broken voice.

He caressed my cheek to tell me to let it out.

"I miss them so much Damian. I want them with me right now. I want to tell them about my new job, about you. They were so young to die. They didn't deserve it. My dad used to tell me how he wants to see me married, having kids so he could spoil them. Same goes with mom. Sam was mamma's boy and I was daddy's girl. Can you please bring them back?"

I was crying covering my face with my palms.

"Sweetheart. Don't cry baby. Your mom and dad are looking at you from above. Do you think they will like to see you cry? Shush. I'm here okay." He had wrapped his hands around my whole body. I was sitting in his lap. He kept caressing my hair the whole time.

After some time, we got up. We were to visit mom dad's cemetery today.

Damian got off the bed I quickly grabbed his hand.

"What happened Jen?" He turned around.

"Thank you for being here." I smiled.

"You don't have to thank me." He placed a tender kiss on my forehead.

........................

Sam and Tessa were all ready when we reached downstairs. I hugged Sam. I knew he was also sad but he won't say much to me. I hope he confides in Tessa.

"Are you okay?" I ask him, I know he is not.

"I miss them." I rarely see Sam with tears in his eyes but today is that day.

"I miss them too. They are with us. They will forever be." I said.

"I know. Let's go." He clears his throat.

I nod.

..............................

We reached the cemetery in 20 minutes. We bought white lilies and Daisies for them. Mom loved lilies and dad loved Daisies. Mom even told me once she considered naming me Lily or Daisy but then canceled it because she liked Jenifer more.

Reaching there grave, we kneeled beside them.

James Collin Martin

Audrey Isla Martin

Beloved mother, wife, daughter and baker.

"We miss you every day mom dad but today even more." I said softly.

Damian rubbed his hands on my shoulder comforting me.

"Mom dad, this is my girlfriend Tessa. You know her, we dated in high school. I love her a lot. I wish you could be here with us." Sam said.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Martin. I'm Tessa. Your son is really the best. I love him. I wish I could meet you again. You both were very sweet when I dated Sam in high school."

"Mom dad, you know right, I got a job at a multinational company in New York. I'm living my dream. I remember dad how you always motivated me to follow my dreams, no matter how much hard work it needs. And I also want you to meet my boyfriend Damian. He is really amazing mom dad. He takes care of me a lot."

I was teary eyed.

I want them here. I want to hug them. That's all I want.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Martin. I'm Damian, Jen's boyfriend. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. She is kind, sassy when needed, caring, beautiful, hard working. I'm lucky to have her in my life. She misses you terribly. I have heard so much about you from her. I wish I could meet you. But don't worry, I will take good care of your daughter."

Damian said which left me sobbing.

Why am I such a cry baby?

We stayed there for sometime. The whole time we were there, Damian had wrapped his hands around me caressing my hair. I am so grateful for him. Thank you god.

...............................

Currently we were seated at a ice cream parlour. Mom and dad's favourite ice cream parlour. Whenever we used to celebrate something as a family we used to come here. This was our place. And as a ritual after visiting the cemetery every year Sam and I come here and eat ice cream. It gives us a feeling that we are sitting with mom and dad, though it's for a small period of time, that feeling helps us a lot.

"Jen is it okay if we leave for New York after this?" Damian asked.

I thought for a moment, "Alright but any issue?"

"We have a meeting tomorrow at New York with London's biggest investor Mr. Waller. I need to prepare the best for that."

"Ah yes Mr. Waller. I almost forgot about him. Of course we can leave. I have to do so much preparation for the meeting."

"So you guys are leaving?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I wish I could stay longer but work calls. And also you are coming to New York next week right? We will have fun then."

"Yes I will be there." Sam nodded.

"Jen it was really so nice meeting you again." Tessa hugged me.

"Same here Tess. When you come back from Rome, do visit New York."

"Sure thing!!"

We got up to bid adieu, because we were directly heading to the airport. Our luggage was already at the airport. How I don't know!

"Damian I know you will take good care of my sister. If I hear a bad thing about you or my sister because of you, you are a dead man." Sam warned.

"Geez Sam!!" I said.

"It's okay Jen. He is your brother. Don't worry man I will take the best care of her." Damian interjected.

Sam nodded, Damian and Sam did a bro hug.

And then we were off to New York!!!
