The moment that marked us
Chapter 6

Chapter 6:.

Five years later.

“Mommy, when will we get there, I miss Celia so much!”.

On the plane, a cute five-year-old boy sat next to a lady. He lifted his delicate face, looking at the beautiful Sherry.

“It won’t be long now, Dan. Be a good boy and Celia will be coming to join you, we’ll see her soon, sit tight!”. Sherry smiled. Looking at her son’s face, she felt sadness in her heart. Her eyes couldn’t focus on that child, as if she was trying to imagine another face she had only seen once. Where was her biological son?

Forgive me, I really don’t know where you are, I’m sorry!

A tear drop rolled down her face. She was saddened every time she thought of that child who had been stolen. And her hatred for the man in the fox mask grew even deeper. How cruel of him, to keep her separated from her child!

“Mommy, you’re crying!” Dan’s little hand reached out to Sherry, trying to wipe away the tears for her, “Don’t cry, Mommy. I’ll be good, I’ll protect you.”

She was despondent at the time, but she found this little boy by the river. He was so good and spent the last five years with her, bringing her great joy, as if she had gotten her own back.

“Mommy, I want to pee.” The little boy frowned.

“Okay, I’ll take you to the bathroom.”

“No! I’ll go myself, I’m a boy, you’re a girl!”. Dan shook his head determinedly and unbuckled his seatbelt.

“Really, you can do it yourself?”.

“I’m a guy!” The little guy had already slipped out before Sherry and ran for the bathroom.

Three rows behind Sherry, a tall guy also got up. His eyes were mysterious, and the vibe he radiated was so frightening that no one dared look at him. He glanced at the diamond watch on his wrist and headed for the bathroom with a frown.

Within a few steps, he already showed himself in front of the bathroom door. He was about to enter when Dan looked at him, “Sir, Dan was here first. Dan is the first to pee. Sir, wait here.”

“Okay.” William lowered his head and finally saw the boy. He raised his eyebrows, “We can do it

together!”

Dan also raised his eyebrows, mimicking him, “I can’t pee with you in here! Please get out!”

Strangely, when William looked at the boy who barely reached his waist, he felt him so familiar and warm. Had he ever seen that cute face and eyes anywhere before?

“Please come out, sir!”. Dan asked him politely.

“Little boy, if you don’t pee right now, the plane will land, then none of us will be able to pee!”. William, then, untied his pants belt. It was so funny that the little boy asked him to leave because bathroom was big enough for both of them!

“Sir, you are very naughty, how can you take off your pants in front of the others! The teacher said that was wrong! But, sir, you have a big birdie and mine is very small.”

William was shocked: what was he talking about?

Staring at his own boy parts, Dan was very confused: “Why don’t we look alike?”.

The plane soon landed, but Dan was still frowning.

Until they got off the plane, Sherry had no idea why her son had been lost in thought since he went to the bathroom.

“What’s wrong, Dan?”

“Mommy, that gentleman!” Dan pointed to a tall man, and said to Sherry, “That gentleman has a big birdie, mine is so small!”.

“What?” Sherry was confused.

“The little bird I use to pee. He was in the bathroom with me, I almost didn’t make it to pee.”

Jesus! Sherry got so red in the face, because she was embarrassed by her son’s words. She looked at the distant figure unwillingly. No doubt, that man was special in the crowd.

He was tall, strong but also slim, easily distinguishable from the others. His suit of good cloth was obviously tailored to fit him. But he seemed to be in a hurry and quickly disappeared around the corner.

“That gentleman was very rude!”. Dan kept talking, “He didn’t flush the toilet, I did it for him!”.

“Dan is the best boy!”. Sherry had no choice but to give him a kiss on the face to shut him up, “Come on, Celia must have been waiting a long time.”

“Yes, let’s go see Celia. Hurry, Mommy!”, Dan yelled anxiously. He grabbed Sherry’s hand and dragged her toward the door.

“Oh, my God, Dan!”

At the arrival gate, a woman in a tight dress and gold heels screamed and ran toward them. She hugged Dan and said, “Dan, did you miss me? Come on, let me give you a kiss.”
