Jim was looking at him when he mentioned her as his wife so all eyes were thrown at her. Startled at first, but she quickly recomposed herself and managed to make a smile as she gazed back at Jim.
Jim went on. "She could not stand up because she's with our child.. "
Although she was not looking at Giselle, she knew that her friend was not so comfortable to hear it. Soon enough, her phone vibrated and a message notification popped up. As expected, from Giselle.
"Could he hold back a little more? It make my spine creep up!!!"
Jia smiled faintly but was careful enough not to turn her back and look at her. He knew that someone else was more uncomfortable than she was.
Jim's short message was then finished and soon, the ribbon was cut. A loud round of applause was, then, heard!
When Jim got back to his seat beside her, he took Jian from her.
"You must be tired already. Give this fluffy boy to me."
Being moved to another position, Jian was awaken up. Sensing the familiarity of the one who held him up, he suddenly tossed himself up and flung his arms around Jim's neck.
"Daddy, daddy, I missed you so much!" And then he rained his dad's face with thousand tiny kisses.
Amused and overjoyed, Jim laughed and his eyes flickered with glints of happiness. He seemed to forget that they were in a middle of an event.
"Some more! Some more! It's not enough! " The more Jian kissed him, he got tickled and his laughter became rounds of giggles until both his eyes teared up.
When Jian was stopped, it was then his turn to tickle and rain kisses to his son that Jian's shrill voice rang throughout the silenced hall. It was such a beautiful sight of a father-and-son moment for everyone that the crowd laughed with them!
Their happiness was contagious that everyone around admired the beautiful sight. Jia also laughed but then she fidgetted when she was reminded that the real father was around. She turned around and instantly caught her friend's eyes which were reddened as she tried to hold back her strong urge to sob.
She then gazed at Anthon and the latter returned her gaze. Their eyes locked again as she was drawn to the sadness and envy in his eyes. Giselle saw it and her strong sense of guilt returned. She buried her face in Anthon's upper arm as she couldn not control herself anymore. Anthon turned to her and rubbed her back to silence her but her sobs got even louder that he was forced to lead her out of the room.
After the lady of the ceremony concluded the event, she also announced that the dinner was ready.
Jim and Jian were not done in their beckering yet as Jian babbled so many reports to his dad. Jim completely immersed himself to Jian's childish world that to the crowd's eyes, they talked like peers who missed each other.
Kuya Nap, who seemed to have gone out, returned to the room and his eyes were instantly caught by the father-and-son's enviable moment.
"Right, right, right, the owner of Jian's Garden is already awake! Come to uncle and I will introduce you to the world! " Kuya Nap's loud voice rang into the hall as he walked towards Jim and Jian.
He held Jian's hand and gently pulled him out from Jim. They walked towards the stage and Jian followed obediently. He looked so cute in his little business attire that the crowd's attention was drawn to them again .
"Uncle, am I going to sing? " Kuya Nap was, unexpectedly, startled as he picked up a microphone. He was only planning to introduce him to the guest.
"Oh, you know how? " Kuya Nap's eyes snapped in excitement.
"Yes! "The child's eyes also beamed with excitement.
Kuya Nap then brought Jian out to the public address system operator at the back of the stage. Few seconds after the two went back to the stage, the music intro played.
Kuya Nap picked up two microphones, and he gave one to Jian.
"To all our guests tonight, I am proud to introduce to you my nephew, the real owner of Jian's Garden. He is going to sing for us all tonight."
As Jian was about to start his song, he pushed his uncle out so that he would stop talking. Their was no trace of fear in his eyes . He stood up like an adult singer with full confidence as if he was born for the stage. The audience, in turn, were caught in awe and amazement as they held their gaze towards this very cute creature who stood before them in full confidence!
Jian then started his first line. The crowd was hushed in silence as they were drawn into the child's beautiful voice. His deep, angelic voice echoed wonderfully into the air and it rang into the hearts of the whole crowd.
"I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be..."
Anthon and Giselle heard it and they rushed back inside to listen to the child. As they fixed their eyes on him, Giselle's tears continually poured out. She looked at Anthon every now and then, who like her, was also holding up.
Anthon, on the other hand, stared at his son silently. The gloom in his eyes darkened and it spoke about a deep sorrow and longing. His eyes were also caught up every now and then by the sweet couple in front of him, whose woman would have been his..
Jim looked up at Jian admiringly and he pulled Jia again to his embrace.
"Sweetheart, shall we make many babies in the future? Your wonderful genes would be such a waste if we don't. "
Jim looked at Jia lovingly. She nodded absent - mindedly as her eyes was focused to her son. Jim was amused in this, in her beautiful, innocent - like face, that he clawed an arm to her neck and kissed her forehead.
Anthon and Giselle saw and heard them well again.
Jian was singing the last chorus and when he ended, the crowd was still silent. He made a bow, gesturing that his song had already ended. It was only after that, that the crowd got into a frenzy state in applauding him.
Jian, on his part, was entirely clueless as to how many hearts had he stirred up tonight. Before he placed his microphone down, he saw Anthon, and he shouted "daddy". He hurriedly ran towards him and threw himself up into his lap.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
