190: GONE

ARIEL’S POV

[FLASHBACK CONTINUES]

As the clock struck midnight, I stood on the grand steps of our mansion, watching the sky explode in a kaleidoscope of colors. Lukel and Janice, my precious children, stood beside me, their faces aglow with wonder as the fireworks painted the night sky.

Lukel pointed excitedly at a burst of red and gold, exclaiming, “Mom, look at that one! It’s like a dragon breathing fire!”

I chuckled, feeling a swell of pride and nostalgia. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Each firework tells a story, just like the year we’ve had.”

Janice tugged at my hand. “Mom, will this year be as magical as the fireworks?” Her gaze was fixed on the dazzling display above.

Kneeling down to Janice’s level, I gazed into her eyes, filled with warmth and love. “Darling, every year is what we make of it. Just like these fireworks, we can create our own magic and light up the darkness. Let’s make this year the most beautiful one yet.”

The fireworks continued to illuminate the sky, casting a soft glow over our mansion. The air buzzed with the sound of crackling fireworks, blending with distant cheers and laughter welcoming the new

year.

As the grand finale approached, I held Lukel and Janice close, feeling their hearts beat in rhythm with the explosive display of light and sound. We stood together as a family, united in our love and shared

experiences.

With a final burst of color lighting up the sky, the fireworks concluded in a spectacular display, leaving behind fading sparks that slowly dissipated into the night.

A quiet fell over the grounds as the last echoes of the fireworks faded away, the gentle rustle of the wind in the trees filling the air. Lukel’s joyful whoop broke the silence as he hugged me tightly. ” Happy New Year, Mom! I love you!”

Tears of joy filled my eyes as I embraced Lukel. “Happy New Year, my dear boy. I love you more than words can say,” I whispered, my heart brimming with love for my children.

Janice joined in, wrapping her arms around us. “Happy New Year, Mom, Lukel. I love you both so much,” she said softly, her voice filled with emotion.
