The first message that came in on Sarah's cell phone was from Teresa, the mother at the orphanage who she already considers like her own mother, even though they had problems before, they became close again after their meeting six years ago.
Several messages that come are most of her colleagues at the hospital, nurses and doctors have her cellphone number. Most sent it as a broadcast message, while there were some who typed her name, and added other things to their message.
The thing that made Sarah bulge her eyes because she didn't believe it when she read it.
Next to send it was a couple she actually had an odd relationship with, the husband had practically had a relationship with her, while the wife had had a relationship with Michael.
People who knew about their relationship would think they were weird, but thankfully not many knew that, and the couple still wanted to be close to her. In fact, they are now arguably very close.
Like several other colleagues who sent Merry Christmas to her, there were other messages that were also added by the two of them.
Steve: "Hey! You actually instantly became very famous! Did Michael have to propose to you that way? You make all women jealous!
Anna: "Congratulations dear. Finally Michael proposed to you! My husband and I saw that last night and we made a bet. I bet it was a proposal for you and of course I won. Here, I took a photo of it last night. Oh yeah, we have to meet and talk about this later."
Sarah's mouth opened when she finally finished reading all the messages that came to her.
One thing immediately crossed her mind.
"How... did they find out?!" Sarah said with a face that looked very confused.
Did it turn out that she was just too stupid to not realize that it was actually for her?
Sarah shook her head. Anna and Steve might have guessed it was for her, but the rest of her co-workers couldn't have known about it and congratulated her.
In that case... how did they know about it?
When Sarah was confused about that, she suddenly got a message from Steve.
Steve: Damn! You're even in the news! Here's the link: [News article link] Hey, you don't mind if I upload a picture of us together, right? I think I still have it.
Sarah: Why do you have to upload a picture of the two of us and ask me that?! You should ask that to your wife. I'll check the news first.
Steve: Wait! If Anna allows it, can I do it?! You're going viral now! Who knows my followers might increase if they know we are pretty close!
Sarah rolled her eyes when Steve immediately replied to the message quickly. So that's the reason the man wanted to upload a photo of the two of them.
Isn't he a doctor? Why should he care about the number of followers?
[Do what do you want]
After replying to the message, Sarah immediately saw the news article that was sent by Steve.
Why did she go viral? Does that person have no life so they found out last night's events to actually be Michael proposing?
It didn't take Sarah long to figure out why.
Michael actually uploaded their selfie last night on his social media account.
"So it turned out to be his doing!" Sarah said a little annoyed when she found out about it.
Why did Michael do that? Does that man not know that he has a very large number of followers?
Even though Sarah doesn't use social media accounts, she knows that Michael is very famous on social media from the number of followers he has.
Then... Why did Michael still do that?!
Sarah hurriedly picked up her clothes that had been scattered on the floor and went down without washing her face first because she had to look for that man.
"Mommy! Merry Christmas!"
Sarah, who was still on the stairs, immediately stopped when she heard the voices of her two babies.
Her face, which looked annoyed and ready to scold Michael, immediately smiled when she saw her two babies who were wearing Santa costumes complete with their Christmas hats.
The two children then immediately ran towards the stairs and grabbed Sarah's hand to help her down the stairs quickly.
"Mommy! Hurry up and get ready!" Gabriel said while taking his Mommy to her room when he saw his Mommy's appearance who was still wearing the same clothes as last night.
His mommy was clearly seen just waking up, her hair still hadn't even been combed.
"We wanted to open the presents, but Daddy said we should have breakfast first and wait for Mommy," Raphael explained as he pulled his Mommy towards him.
His daddy said he also got a present from Santa.
He didn't ask for presents, but Santa gave him one! Well... he has been a really good kid this year, so it's only fitting that he gets a present, right?
So, Raphael was very curious about his present.
Michael just smiled when he saw their kids telling Sarah to get ready soon so they could have breakfast and open the presents that were under the Christmas tree.
This morning had been a lovely morning, and he was very happy.

"So..." Sarah whispered softly while nudging Michael's thigh. "Why did you post our selfie on your social media?!" Sarah continued in a low, but sharp tone.
"Oh! You already know that?" asked Michael who was surprised by that. "Have you created a social media account yet?" he continued. Had Sarah been following him all this time, but he didn't realize it?
"I don't need to have it to know that! There are so many messages sent to me!" Sarah said sharply. "There was even a news article about it!" she continued.
"Ahh... I see..." Michael nodded his head and answered casually.
Apparently, the reporters moved quickly so they made news about it.
"I see?" Sarah said following what Michael said. "Why do you look relaxed about that?!" she whispered again sharply as she smacked Michael on the thigh.
Every now and then Sarah would try to look at her kids who were having breakfast, she just hoped that they wouldn't notice what was going on.
"Ouch!" Michael complained while stroking his thigh. "Why are you mad about that?" asked Michael, confused.
"I mean, I just want to let the whole world know that you are mine. Why should you be mad about that?" muttered Michael, stroking his thigh.
"Eh?" Sarah flinched slightly when she heard that. His brain suddenly stopped working.
"What did you say?" Sarah asked again to make sure she didn't hear it wrong.
"Why are you mad about that?" Michael said, repeating what he had just said.
"Not that one, idiot!" Sarah said angrily.
Why is Michael so slow? Is it because he's getting old?
Sarah was sure that she had heard it right, but she wanted to hear it again.
"Ahh... I said that I just want to let the whole world know that you are mine. That's the reason why I uploaded our photo on my social media account, and have no intention of deleting it!" Michael explained.
A smile immediately appeared on Sarah's face when she heard that. It feels good.
"So now I'm yours, hm?" Sarah said as she nudged Michael with her arm.
"Of course! You are mine. I won't let you go again!" Michael answered with a smile on his face and then kissed the lips of the woman who had accepted his proposal last night.
Meanwhile, the two kids who were sitting in front of them, only stared at their parents who looked closer than usual.
"Daddy and Mommy are flirting," Raphael thought while shaking his head.
