Chapter 106

I immediately got dressed. This is the day Sister Anna said that Jess would be taken by his adoptive parents. I want to see and talk to Jess for the last time. I actually told Neil about this. He also can't do anything even if we don't want to, we have to do it. I knew Jess would understand us. We didn't want to give him away but someone was going to adopt him.

I tried to convince Sister Anna but she really didn't want to agree.

I'm already driving. I waited for Neil before I went to the orphanage.

We arrived at the orphanage. There is a white van parked in the parking lot. Maybe Jess's adoptee has arrived.

I'm taking courage.

We went inside. We catch up with them forcing Jess to come with them.

Jess saw us, he ran over to us.

He hugged me while crying.

“Please, Miss Pershey, dont give me to them,” he begged and cried. I feel sorry for him. He will go to a family he doesn't want.

I rubbed his back to make him settle.

“I don’t like them. Please, don't give me to them. Please, don't. ”

I couldn’t speak because I didn’t know what to do and what to say. I want him to come to me but it's not possible. I can't insist on what's not for me.

I looked at Neil. I am trying to ask mentally for what should I do. I do not know what to do. I feel sorry for Jess but I have to do the right thing.

“Come with us, Jess,” a young lady said. She tried to grab Jess but Jess hugged me even tighter. He really didn’t want to go. He doesn't want to leave my side.

I think that's how sister Anna behaved. I am talking to her mentally to give him to me but she bitterly smiled and shook her head.

I felt guilty. I have to set Jess free.

“Jess,” I called softly.

He cried even more, saying, "Please, don't give me to them."

"Jess, we can't adopt you," said Neil, so Jess cried even more. He shook his head while crying.

I couldn’t tell him he have to live with his new family even though I knew it was against my will.

I don't want to talk, I'll just put up with it. I don’t want to drive him away from me. I want him with me but ... I can't.

“Jess, you have to come with them. They are your new family,” said Neil that's why I looked at him.

I don't want to let him go. I don’t want him to leave and get away from me. I already love him as my brother. I can't give him away that easily.

I can't accept that I can't adopt him just because I'm too young and I'm not married yet. I could give him good life. He would be safe with me.

He was sobbing and crying. I still don't want to let him go. I still do not want.

“You promised, you will not give me to anyone. You promised, you won't leave me,” he cried again.

“Forgive us, Jess. Don’t worry, we are always here,” I said and wiped away his tears.

“Come with us, Jess. We are now your new family, Jess. We will love and take care of you, Jess. Come with us,” the woman said. She’s not that old but I think she’s 35 and up.

They tried to take Jess from me and I did nothing. I didn't even stop them from taking Jess from me because even if I insist on what I want, it's still not possible.

He held one of Jess's hands while I held Jess's other hand. He was looking at me, crying and begging.

I couldn't stop my tears from flowing. I have to do it. Jess is not my son and he is not my brother either, but I love him as my brother.

I can't but I have to.

“Jess,” I called softly and my voice cracked. “Don’t worry, we will visit you. You can call me anytime.” I forced a smile just to let him know that I am okay.

“Please, don’t leave me,” he cried as he begged to me.

I have to do this.

“We will visit you, Jess,” I said.

"Promise?"

I smiled on him and nodded.

"Let's go, Jess?"

Jess forced to smile as I slowly released his hand. I just followed his gaze as they pulled him away from me.

Neil hugged me back. "Let's go, love?"

I couldn’t help but look at Neil. I gradually remembered the happy days Jess and I had.

I don’t know if I did it right. Am I selfish? Would I be selfish if I only sought Jess’s pleasure and well -being?

I really want to adopt him but I can't. I did everything I could but I really couldn't.

"Shall we?"

We have left. We went straight home because I said I wanted to rest. He has already taken me home. I felt like he didn’t want to leave me but I forced him to leave.

I want some peace of mind. I don’t want to think that we both did nothing for Jess.

I'm thinking too deeply. Jess's look comes back to my mind. I want to see him again but they

take Jess away from me. They have already brought Jess to America. Yes, I lied to Jess. I can't visit him anymore. I can no longer visit him unless I go to America.

I knew he would be upset with us, so hopefully, he would understand that when he thought about it or he stepped on the right age.

I took a deep sigh before I stretched out on the bed. Jess suddenly disappeared from my mind when our graduation day which is tomorrow entered my mind. Mommy and Daddy will come back next day to meet Neil's family.

Tomorrow is our graduation day. Mommy Yuna is there to join me tomorrow. She will also hang a medal on me.

I closed my eyes until I fell asleep.

The alarm clock woke me up. It's 6:00 AM.

I got up immediately. A smile immediately formed on my lips when I saw the uniform I was going to wear. My breakfast is already on the table. The ones I will use for graduation are ready.

I approached them. My gaze wandered to the doorman. Mommy was there. She stood, looking at me and smiling. I also smiled back.

She also left. I ate first before I took a bath.

Mommy and I went to University together.

I'm a little nervous this graduation day. Mommy is on the other side. Neil is also on the other side.

Neil and I will graduate together today, so I'm very happy.

His parents are on the other side. He was called to the stage first because he is in section SC-A and I am in SC-B.

He went up on stage with his parents. He raised the medals and flashed his heart-warming smile to me. I smiled too.

I'm so proud of my boyfriend!

Medals were handed to him. He's holding certificates of recognition. After the picture taking, they also went down to the stage.

Gradually, the completers were called until my name was called.

We went up on stage together. Our professor awarded me 5 medals and five certificates.

When Mommy took the medals, I was suddenly struck by the sight of Mommy, Daddy and Bria.

My eyes almost widened when I saw them. The joy I feel is doubled because they arrived today.

Mommy Yuna noticed them because she didn't hang the medals on me first. She smiled at me. A smile makes me feel better.

They went up on stage. I can’t believe they’re here right now in front of me. They came home on the day of my graduation. They made me even happier.

Bria greeted me and kissed me on my cheek same as Mommy Sheraine.

I turned my gaze to Neil who was smiling at me. I can feel the joy he feels. He smiled broadly.

A medal was hung on me by Mommy Yuna. She gave the remaining medals to Daddy and he also hung another medal on me. He gave the remaining 3 medals to Mommy Sheraine and she also hung another medal on me. She gave the remaining 2 medals to Bria and hung one of me.

Bria holds another medal but she hasn’t hung it on me yet.

I looked at the medal Bria was holding. I waited for her to hang the medal but she didn’t.

My gaze drifted to Neil when he suddenly stood up and walked on stage.

We watched him.

Bria gave him an outstanding medal.

He greeted me first. "Congrats, love," then he hung the medal on me and kissed me on the forehead.

Everyone applauded. I think ... this would be another memorable day in my life.

They are all here. They made me happy. I have so much fun today.

This is my first time I have experienced this. They are all complete, so I am very happy.
