Michael and Sarah's gazes in unison immediately looked at the backs of Raphael and Gabriel who were walking towards inside. It seemed both of them thought the same thing that they should continue their conversation, after the two children had gone inside.
As soon as the small backs of the two children had disappeared inside, Michael immediately turned to Sarah, as did Sarah who immediately turned to Michael.
She felt awkward then decided not to look Michael in the eye and looked at his forehead.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet between the two people who were sitting opposite each other on the balcony of the penthouse. Only the sound of the wind could be heard, and the sound of the two of them breathing.
"Sarah," Michael called softly.
"Yes?" said Sarah, slightly surprised.
Michael licked his dry lips again. Why did he feel so nervous to tell his feelings to the woman who still has his heart? It wasn't the first time he'd told Sarah about his feelings because she was his ex-wife, but he was nervous like it was the first time.
Was it because it was his ex-wife? Or people will experience the same thing when telling their feelings to the people they love?
"I want to tell you, that during these six years. I've never forgotten you," Michael said in a trembling voice, indicating that he was very nervous.. He didn't even know he would sound like that!
Michael then cleared his throat, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"And during that time, my feelings…"
"MOMMY!"
Michael closed his eyes when again he could hear the voices of his two children calling Sarah's name. Was he starting to hallucinate this time because he was too nervous to tell Sarah his feelings?
Yes, it must be. He only heard the voice. The twins had obviously gone inside to take a bath, they couldn't have suddenly come back and bothered them.
However, Michael had to swallow his disappointment when he heard Sarah's voice asking what is it?
Can't the two children not bother him at the crucial moments?!
"We don't know how to open this!" said Raphael while tugging at the vest he was wearing. He had tried to take it off like a way of undressing, but it was too tight and couldn't be lifted.
Sarah's mouth opened when she heard that. She had almost forgotten that she had never taught her children how to unbutton because she had always preferred to dress them in t-shirts. It's easier to do than to wear a shirt.
"Ah, come here, Mommy will teach you how to open it," said Sarah, who used this opportunity to teach her children.
Raphael then immediately approached and saw what his Mommy was doing.
Meanwhile, Gabriel who was waiting next to his brother as usual, suddenly turned around when he realized that there was someone else who could teach him right now instead of waiting for his Mommy to finish with his brother.
His little feet then slowly approached Michael shyly.
"Uncle, can you help me?" he asked, staring at Michael.
Michael, who had been trying not to let out an annoyed expression, immediately changed when he heard the boy's words. How could he be annoyed when his son was looking at him with such a gaze?
"Okay, come here," Michael said, then started teaching Gabriel how to do it. To be honest he wanted to quickly unbutton the vest and shirt so they could continue the conversation, but since Sarah wanted to teach the kids, he chose to teach him too.
Not long after, Michael and Sarah had grabbed each of the two children's vests, then both had removed their shirts and exposed their bloated bellies from eating voraciously.
"Okay, it's done. Raphael and Gabriel can go take a bath!" said Michael who was unconsciously too excited when he said that. He wanted to get the kids out of the way so he could talk to Sarah.
"What if uncle comes to take a bath with us?" said Gabriel suddenly, looking at Michael.
"Eh?" Sarah and Michael were surprised to hear that. Neither of them expected the words to come out of the boy's mouth.
"Ah, Riel is right! Uncle, come take a bath with us!" said Raphael, suddenly agreeing with the idea.
Even though he still hates Michael, today he learns a lot of new things while being with Michael. Even though the old man isn't as cool as Batman, or his Daddy, he's in the top three coolest men he knows!
It seemed like it would be fun and he would learn new things while bathing with Michael.
"Eh?" Sarah and Michael are surprised again when Raphael also wants Michael to take a bath with them.
Seeing the look on Michael's face that didn't answer and turned to Sarah, Raphael immediately turned to his Mommy.
"Can uncle come to take a bath with us, Mommy?" asked Raphael, asking her permission.
"Yes, Mommy said, Mommy can't bathe us because Mommy is a woman and we are men, but uncle is also a man," Gabriel added.
Sarah was at a loss for words when she heard that. How did Michael actually get the kids, especially Raphael, to be this close to the point of wanting to take a bath with him?
From the photo she could tell they were having fun, but Sarah didn't expect them to get this close.
"About that ... you should ask uncle's opinion," said Sarah who decided to let Michael make that decision.
To be honest, the thing about her being a woman and them being a man was just an excuse she made because she wanted the kids to be independent enough to take a bath on their own when they started school. She also did that to teach about women and men.
However, if they wanted to take a bath with Michael, Sarah had no problem with that at all. After all, Michael is their father, and Michael has also just asked her to share the parents' work.
Michael fell silent when he heard Sarah's words, then saw the two children staring at him impatiently waiting for his answer.
Michael sighed. Although right now he really wanted to talk to Sarah, but his children for the first time asked to take a bath with him. How could he refuse that request?
"Alright, let's take a bath together!" said Michael then immediately stood up with a big smile on his face.
The two children immediately jumped for joy when they heard that before finally a laugh escaped their tiny lips when Michael immediately picked them up together with his hands.
A surprised scream also appeared on Sarah's face.
"Hey, what if they fall?!" Sarah shouted, rising from her seat.
Michael immediately turned around and indicated that it wouldn't fall at all because he was holding their stomachs.
"Uncle, let's go take a bath!" said the two while laughing and instead stretched out their right hands to pose like superman.
Sarah's mouth was still open, she wanted to say something, but she chose to hold it in because the kids seemed happy about it.
She then quickly sat back down when Michael went inside. Her heart was still beating fast and she felt like she was about to lose her life when she saw how Michael lifted them like a barbell.
***
Sarah looked at the time on her cellphone screen. It's been about thirty minutes but Michael and the Twins haven't finished bathing yet.
Worried, she then immediately went to the Twins' room.
When she was in the room, she could hear a sound coming from the bathroom inside the room. She then put her ear to the door to hear it more clearly.
"Wow, uncle's is big!"
Sarah fell silent when she heard Gabriel's voice sounding amazed by it. She blinked her eyes. Big? What are they talking about?
Sarah suddenly realized that Michael was currently bathing with the children. Are they talking about that?
Involuntarily Sarah's face reddened and immediately shook her head. They couldn't possibly talk about it! She must have just guessed it wrong.
"Right?" Michael's voice sounded proud of it.
Sarah fanned her face with her hands when she heard that. The atmosphere suddenly felt hot. If Michael boasts about it, aren't they talking about that?!
"But why is mine and Riel's small?" Raphael's voice sounded very sad when he said that.
"That's because you are still children. It will be big when you guys grow up. Although everyone will be different later, but you don't have to worry." Michael's voice sounded like he was trying to cheer them up.
Sarah opened her lips when she heard that. There was no mistaking it, they must be discussing that!
"So now Michael is really bathing and naked with Raphael and Gabriel," thought Sarah, still blushing. She thought Michael might just bathe them, she didn't expect that Michael would join them.
However, why did they have to talk about that while in the bath?!
"Really?" Raphael's voice sounded happy when he heard that.
"But I don't want mine to be as big as uncle." Gabriel's voice sounded sad when he heard that.
Sarah sighed. She better get out of here before her mind starts wandering and imagining things.
"Why? It's better to be big than small."
Sarah's footsteps stopped when she heard that. Why did Michael have to say something like that?! If he said that, then…
"Why?" The twins' voices sounded curious.
