4 years later.

-x-

"Hey dad, I wanna be king." My 8 years son, came and told me that. He just said it out of no where. He never said it before.

"What? Why?" I asked playfuly. I was standing on a bench on our rose garden, when he came to me.

"Because I wanna be like you."

"You will be one day, my son, but..."

"I know, when I'll be 24 years old." He said, now with a sad face. I know he is just playing with me.

"Yeah and you have to marry someone till than."

"I know that too." He said looking down at his feet.

"Hey my men, how are ya?" asked Rose. She came and sat next to me.

"Mommy, do you wanna marry me?"

"What?" his mother asked.

"Dad said that I have to marry someone, and than I can be King." Now David came and took Rose into a hug.

"Yeah son, but you have to love that someone." I tried to explain to him.

"But I love mom." Rose started to laugh. I didn't. It wasn't easy for me.

"Yeah, but not in that way."

"Than what way?" he askd quicly.

"Yeah Dimitri, what way?" asked Rose too. God, I swear, he wants to make my work even harder.

"Look David, one day, you will meet a girl that... I don't know, that would make you do things you never thought will do. You will want to be next to her all the time, you will want to protect her by any costs. That girl that will make you feel those butterflyes in your stomach... that girl that will make you give your life just to protect her. That will be the one for you. You just have to keep open up your eyes. And your mind."

"Than that girl will be very selfish." He said

"Why?" asked his mother.

"Because I am supposed to love her and she is supposed to love me. If she is suppsed to love me than why would she want me to give my life for her?"

"I didn't mean like that." I tried to explain to him, but ofcourse, he got what he wanted to understand. He is just like his mother.

"if all gilrs are like that, than I hate girls."

"Hmmmmm" Rose tried to clear her trouth.

"But you are not a girl Mom, you are my mommy."

"Sure." She said.

"Say sorry son, if you want desert tonight." I know I scared him now.

"Im sorry mommy, you Know I love you. You are the best mom ever, and I'll love ,if one day you will want to marry me."

"Ok, you can go play now."

"Can I ride Blue Jeans?" he asked. Blue Jeans is his horse. He relly loves that horse.

"Sure you can. Go have fun!" and he left in a instant.

"So, 1 to 10, how much do you love me?" she asked me, taking one of my hands in hers. Is she really asking me this question?

"Rose, do you hear yourself out?"

"Yeah, and it was just a question. Answer it!"

"Ok... I guess 0."

"Zero?"

"Yeah."

"Dimitri, do you want to sleep in that damn bed tonight?" she gat really angry. Or she wanted to. She is more like... lets play this game. Well, I can play too.

"Actually now, I would love to do other things in that damn bed tonight."

"Than I think you should re-think your answer."

"No Rose, I won't answer to this question. You always keep asking this question and I always have the same answer. Why are you keep asking this question?"

"To be sure." Was her answer. I got mad. What does this mean, she is not sure about my love for her?

"To be sure?"

"Yes."

"So you don't belive when I say 'I love you'?" I asked. My hamnesia broke two years ago. The doctor said that it was because of all the people from my old life. I don't know what actually made it break, but I'm happy it did.

"Yea I do, but I'll like to hear it often."

"So this is all about?... ok. I LOVE YOU, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.."

"Stop!" and she put her hand over my mouth. And because of it, I kissed her palm.

"I love you."

"Yeah, I got it." And I put her in my lap. She is better this way. I kissed her neck till I reached to her lips.

"Say you love me too!"

"No"

"Say it!" and I started to hug her tighten so she couldn't breath.

"No."

"Ok, next time when I have to go because of bussiness I won't come back for a year." Her face got serious now.

"Are you threaten me now?"

"No." And she fought to get free from my embrace. She turned her face so I couldn't watch her in the eyes. I think I went too far now.

"Roza"

"Let me go." But I didn't. She is strong, but I am stronger.

"Roza, please."

"Please what?"

"It was a joke. I can't live without you a year. Please don't get mad, 'cuz I'm the one who should get mad." She turned her face and I could see that she had fought with some tears. Maybe I was wrong, she is stronger than I thought. After all she is Rose, my Roza.

"Why it should be you the one mad?" she said crossing her arms around her chast.

"You know what, never minde." I helped her get up and I left. Always she is the one that gets mad. Always I'm the one who beg for forgivness. Well, I want this time to be other way around. She is too stubborn sometimes. I can't deny, I love the way she is, she keeps us, me, young.

-x-

My mother, Olena, found out one years ago, that she has caner. The doctor said that she won't live for long. Two years, three,if she is lucky. At the beggining, she was the only one that accepted her death. I didn't, and I still can't accept it. She is the woman that showed me how to fight, how to never give up. Now ,I need her to keep fighting, but she already gave up.

"Good day, mama."

"Hello son. How are you?"

"I'm good." But I wasn't. The discution I had with Rose afected me, more than I wanted to accept.

"Don't lie to your mother, Dimitri."

"I'm good, mama. Don't worry."

"Is everything alright with Rose?" she knows me better than I thought.

"Yeah, mama, but... she is too stubborn sometimes, she just makes me want to pull my hair out."

"Oh son, always remember what I'm going to tell you now! For the woman you love, you have to give up at everything. Never tell a woman she is wrong, she will figure it out on herself." My mother is that kind of woman that always knows what to say. I don't know what I'm going to do without her.

"Don't worry mama. We have our ups and downs, but we will, always come back to each other. Now, tell me how you feel."

"I'm good." She smiled at me and took my hand in hers.

"Dimitri, promise me something."

"Anything, mama."

"Promise me, you will always be the man you are now. Always remember that you are a king but, never NEVER forget that you are a husband and a father. Don't put no one above Rose and David. Don't you ever, EVER, turn into your father."

"I won't, never. That man is death, and I don't know if you belive me, but I don't miss him. At all."

"Me either, but I guess he is calling me to hell." I closed my eyes and I kept tham like that for some second. I don't like to hear mother talk like that.

"Don't say it!"

"But it's true Dimitri, Im going to die, and I've already accepted it. Now it's your turn."

-x-

I left my mother's room sad. I'm sad because of the way she thinks, about the way she waits the death. It's not right. I wanna see her smile, like she used to.

In my suite, Rose was already in bed, reading a book, this is somethig new, she never reads. Like never. She rather die than read.

"Roza, I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For what happened in the garden. I hate when we fight." I sat in the bed, so I could watch her in the eyes.

"We didn't fight Dimitri, it was you makeing me mad and me making you mad. Im sorry too." She looked down at the book and I did the same. Wait, wait wait. Is that an wastern book she has in her hands?

"Rose..."

"what?"

"What are you reading?"

"Ummm, I don't know. I just took a book and started to read it. Even thought, My minde was everywhere but the book."

"And this is the Rose I know and love with all my heart." She smiled when I said 'love'. I think I miss to say it too.

"I love you too." She opened her arms so I could hug her.

"Im such a bad husband."

"No, you are mine and you are perfect. " and she kissed me. Of course I kissed her back.

-x-

After two months my mother left us. She passed away, in a better place. This lost made me weak, she took a part of my heart with her. I closed myself in her room for three days. I didn't spoke to no one, I didn't ate at all. Rose knocked severel times but I didn't answered. I couldn't, I couldn't let her see me this weak.

"Dimitri please, please open up." But I didn't answered this time either.

She started to kick the door with her feet, her hands and I think with a chair too. At the end she pushed herslef on the door and opened it. Because of it, she fall on the floor and hurted her shoulder.

"Rose, God, Rose are you crazy?" I ran quicly to her and took her in my arms.

She looked me in the eyes like she couldn't find word to speak. Because of the way I acted I made her cry, I saw that her eyes were red because of too much crying.

"Don't to this. Ever again." And she hugged me.

"I'm sorry love."

"Dimitri, look at me!" and I did. "When ever will things like this happen again, don't ran from me. Come to me, you know I'll always be there to catch you. Always. Dimitri, I love you more than anything in this world. If it's someone that will always be there for you that it's me. I will never judge you or stay in your way. I am the one that will always love you, because if you have love you have anything. Next to you I feel like I can go through everything, please feel the same." I couldn't say nothing. I just nodded.

"I love you."

"I love you too, that's way you have to come to me anytime."

"I will." And I kissed her.

This kiss made me realise that no matter what the way I feel, I am or act, I always can go to her for help, support and love. She will always be there for me, like she swered once.

I know that the love we sheer, will never be broken, by no one. We were made for each other.
