"I know." I said. "Every time I try going on with my life it's so....."
I felt him gently pick me up into his hand to hug me on his chest. The tears that I held up from with came spilling out so much that I didn't bother to stop them. I've been hugged by my own family and Daniel, but I've never been hugged by Gary before. This was just a new expirence for me, especially when he's being a father to me. I didn't expect him to continue hugging me, but he did.
"It's ok Melina." Gary said. "I know what it feels like to wait for someone."
"Daniel's your son." I said. "I tried to be strong for him but I feel like it isn't good enough for me."
"I know how that feels. "Gary said.
"You do?" I said.
"I am a father." he said. "There isn't a day I go without thinking about my friends. Especially my family, my other son, Nick and my daughter, Julie. My main concern is Daniel. He's smart, but I can't help but wish I was there instead of him."
"He needs you to stay here." I said. "We need you just in case of another giant attack Liliput again."
He nodded as he continued hugging me. In that instant of missing his daughter, I became his child for a while. I know I'm going to be his daughter-in-law and I'm getting used to having him around like a father to me. Well he took me home after the heart-to-heart talk with him. It was when I told my family why I was acting like nothing was wrong with me.
"You should've told us." my mother said.
"I know." I said. "I didn't want you to worry too much about me enough to stress you out."
As we talked into the night, I actually felt a lot better about myself and it was the drive that wanted to continue on despite the times I wanted to give up. I kept waiting for Daniel to come home. He promised to be there for Thanksgiving for the rest of our lives. Two weeks later, as I slept throughout the morning in my room, I felt the ground tremble. This time, it was something familiar as I got up from bed and got dressed to look outside. I was relieved that Daniel was finally home from being in Nemakia for a long time. I decided to wait to ask him about what happened during his time there.
"Mela." Daniel said.
"Daniel." I said.
I felt him pick me up from the snow covered ground and hugged me for the first time since he left for Nemakia. i was relieved to have him home and I hope it will be the last time that will happen. As he got comfortable in his home again, he told me about the giants who was tormenting the inhabitants living there. One of them did try to get Daniel to join them and tell them how to get off the island for Liliput. Knowing this put us in jepoardy, he showed his smart side and lied to them by telling them to head west and not north.
"I'm not stupid." he said. "I know what they'd do if I actually told them where Liliput was. That's why I lied to them about where it was."
"Ohh." was all I said.
"I was stuck there due to the choppy seas." he continued on. "But I never stopped thinking about you, Mela. At times I wanted to give up, but I though about you not giving up for me."
"I know." I said. "I felt like giving up too at times when you were gone, but your father helped me through it all."
Daniel continued on with how switched the boxes containing the Nemakians in there with the doll versions of them. The giants who belived him weren't very smart at all to know his deception. He made sure that no one else was taken away from their homes again. It sure changed their perspective on how they viewed giant humans. Some are indeed evil, who only think of themselves over others. But some were also gentle giants and very protective of other much tinier to them. Daniel and his father both fit into more of the gentle giants
"He told me about what happened." Daniel said. "The thing that matters is that I'm home."
"I know." I said.
I felt him hugging me on his chest once more. This time, he was lying down on his bed, with me on top of him. This made me blush as he gently rubbed my back. At times I would, sneak away from the chest and climb up his pillow to kiss him. He felt me and sat up rightaway after scooping me into his hand.
"Caught you." Daniel said.
"Huh?!" Was all I said.
I didn't have to think about where this was going at all. I knew it very well without being told. He lifted me closer to his lips and puckered up. Then I felt him planting kisses all over me. This was getting me wet once more, but at the same time it was still very sweet. It was a sure sign that I was glad he is home again for the rest of our lives. Once Daniel stopped kissing me, he got up and dried me off again.
"Thank you." I said.
"You're welcome, Mela. "Daniel said.
He smiled as he continued drying me off his wet kisses which he gave out to me. In all that time away, I had hidden how depressed I was when he was gone. I kept thinking about him despite keeping my mind occupied on work, my family, my bills on my house, even our wedding. During the time that he was at Nemakia, I tried out the wedding dress that Siba made and I have to admit it actually looked beautiful. Pink for the pearls, the top and for the fairy like bow, wasn't my idea at all. My original one was light blue, but that one made me change my mind after that. I held onto his chin as I returned the kiss back to him.
"I saw that Mela." Daniel said.
"Ohh." I said. "I...."
He gently rubbed his chin on me and there he went tickling me with his beard again. This caused me to laugh again as the thick hair gently tickled me in a matter that made me give into laughing as I'm ticklish.
"You're enjoing this." Daniel said.
"Yes." I said, as he continued tickling me.
After a while, I felt him stop tickling me, which allowed me to catch my breath. I mean, after I have been laughing for so long. due to being tickled.
"Thank you." I said. "Now I need some water."
"Ok." Daniel said, setting me down on the bed. "I'll be right back, Mela."
I nodded my head as I recovered from my tickle session. As I did so, the converstion that he had with me made me reflect on Lemuel, his own ancestor. He was nothing like his ancestor in a lot of ways. Daniel constantly thought about me while he was gone and he's shown his intelligent side in interesting manners. He also had a gentle and protective side to him that we're aware off and will fight off anyone who comes within a radius of five miles of Liliput. His ancestor, Lemuel, has more of a dull personality. He is intelligent, but he's on the passive side. Thus anyone can take advantage of his passive, gullible nature. He never thinks of his wife and children. In doing so, this put him at a disadvantage in self-reflection, personal interaction and wisdom that would've helped him develop an inner life.
"I bet this guy never gave himself a chance to think about himself." I said to myself. "If only he interacted with his wife and his children, he could've been a different person back then. It was too late for him, he had to learn the hard way and this lead him to a path where he shouldn't have gone to. He spent the rest of his life as a cynical and bitter misanthrope."
This had made me think of a lot since Daniel mentioned his ancestor. His interaction with me, my family, and his. This strengthened his inner life and he can reflect on himself more. I was glad he wasn't like his ancestor, at all. I felt the footsteps walk in from the kitchen. I looked over as Daniel returned with the water for me to drink. He poured it into the empty bottle cap and gently picked me up from the bed to the nightstand for me to drink the water. As soon as I started drinking the water, I felt much better from my laughing session. It was a great relief for me to drink the water as Daniel sat down on the bed with a smile to his face.
"Felling better." he said.
"Thank you." I said. "You beard does tickle me."
"Well..." Daniel said, blushing. "I could shave it off."
"If you want to." I said.
I drank more water as I saw him blush for the first time. It was really shocking for me to see him blushing. At the same, it was actually cute to see him be bashful once in a while.
"I tried on a couple of wedding dresses." I said. "I was still confused during the time you were gone."
"I figured." he said. "But you did stuck it out in the end with my father's help."
"I know." I said.
After that, he took me home for the night because tomorrow will be Thanksgiving and I won't work for a couple of days due to it. Daniel must be tired from his long journey from Nemakia and probably wanted to sleep it off which mean I should too for the night. My relatives, my family and I are going to spent Thanksgiving with him and Gary that we too are preparing for that as well. I came into the house and noticed my mother worried as she could be.
"Melina" my mother said. "Where did you go? We were worried about you."
"Mama." I said. "I'm really sorry I left without telling you, but Daniel came back today and I wanted to see him."
"You could've let us know." my father said. "That way, we know where you were."
"I'll let you know next time." I said.
"Thank you." my mother said.
I headed upstairs to my room to sleep it off. I can understand why they were upset about the fact that I didn't tell them where I went. I could've given them and my daughter a heart attack. I didn't want to do that to them and apologized again before going to bed. I got dressed into my nightgown again and climbed into the bedsheets, until I saw Sydney standing there on my bedroom doorway.
"Mama." Sydney said.
"Sydney, what is it?" I said.
"Where did you go?" she asked me. "We got worried about you when you didn't answer your phone."
"I'm sorry, Syd." I said. "It's just that Daniel returned and I wanted to see him for today. I know you do to, but wait until the Thanksgiving dinner."
"I would've understood, mama." she said. "Don't do that again. You had us worried for a while."
"I won't do it anymore." I said. "I'll make sure it won't happen to anyone else again."
I walked over to her and knelt down to her level. I held her in my arms and hugged her. She didn't want to let go of me for a while until she headed to the door and face me.
"Good night, mama." Sydney said.
"Good night, Syd." I said.
I closed the door and headed off to bed for the night. I was glad I got my depression off my chest to Daniel. It made me fel better about having him here. I continued thinking about the weeks until we're married. I mean It's been the talk of Liliput lately. It seemed like no one else away from Liliput was aware of our engagement before. I'm to going to think about it though and concentrated more on the thanksgiving dinner with my parents, Syd, Adam and his family, my relatives and them at Daniel's house for the meal. I went to sleep for the night. I was just glad that Daniel was home for good. I thought about who should be my maid of honor for a while, but I decided that either Marquina or Clair would be great as one.
"I'll have to ask them tomorrow." I said.
As the morning rolled around, I felt numb for a few seconds until I got up to shower. I have to get ready for the Thanksgiving dinner as it came today. It was all slow motion at first as my mom and I cooked a dessert well known in Blefuscu. Creme brunlage, is well known in Blefuscu. It isn't sold here and you have to make it yourself with the ingredients you can find. Anyway as we did the desert, mom asked me to wake Sydney up and get her ready.
"What about dad?" I said.
"He'll wake up when he's ready." my mother said
"Try not messing anything up." I said.
I headed upstairs to my daughter's room to wake her up, just to find her already awaken and heading into my bathroom to use the shower. I headed into my room to talk to her about the clothes to wear. I don't want her dressing up something that could embarrass us immediately.
"Sydney." I said. "Don't be long in there. I need to talk to you."
"Ok mama." Sydney said.
She shut off the water and I came into the bathroom. I closed the door and talked to her about wearing something casual, but a little formal. I don't want her dressing up in something embarrassing. That'll make them think I'm not raising my daughter properly. As she got dressed, I began wondering about where in England did Daniel come from. Because back then we used to belive that giants came from the moon and stars until three Liliputan sailor made a voyage away from Liliput by another emperor. During the journey to the other nations, the sailors realized they're from the same planet as we are. The lands were at least a lot bigger and more massive suitied for them to live in, not a place for our own kind. We've had giant attacks on Liliput for over 300 years, but it ended when Daniel arrived here and warded off his own kind. Soon after his father, Gary, arrived here as well. He turned out as friendly as his son.
"Mama." Sydney said, coming out of her room in jeans and a buttoned shirt. "Is this ok?"
"It's fine." I said. "But bundle up and put some boots on."
She went into her closet to pull out a pair Ugg boots and bundled up right away. As I walked down the stairs, I saw my father putting on a suit, which I haven't seen him in one in 19 years that I went with my relatives to Liliput. Anyway, I headed into the kitchen to see, my mother, still not dressed, but finished with the desserts. She looked over to me and sheepishly turned away. She turned away to prepare containers for the dessert as our relatives are heading to our house t retrieve us. After she finished up, with the cleaning of the house and the dishes, she faced me.
"I better get dressed then." my mother said.
"Please do so." I said. "Our relatives bought some plastic utensils for us to use that way we don't need to eat with giant ones."
My mother headed into the shower and washed herself. Then she got out of the bathroom and got dressed in the outfit she picked out which was a puple buttoned shirt, brown pants and brown boots. She bundled up after I did put on my black suede boots. I was wearing a blue silk shirt to accentuate my eyes and black pants. Our relatives came into our house and by that time, we got the necessary items out of the house. Then we headed into Daniel's house to have Thanksgiving with them. Once we got in his house, the Thanksgiving party began. We started eating, although Clair wasn't allowed to have any alcoholic drink in her system. I had wine and apple cider.
"So how's the alcoholic anonymous going for you?" I asked.
"Bad." Clair said "I'm even more tempted to drink alcohol. I'm trying to quit, but it seems so hard."
"I know." Adam said. "It's just like anger management. I'm tempted to get mad more, but I stuck through it. You have to stick though not drinking alcohol. That where it got you in the first place with your ex-husband."
"Even our boss, Mr.Terwill." I said.
As we ate, my parents wanted to mention where Daniel and I should go on our honeymoon. I haven't thought that far and blushed right away. Not even Daniel did too until he face them.
"Well I was thinking Nemakia." he said. "Then Mela and I could go to Jaivon."
"Nemakia and Jaivon." Adam said. "How would you guys cope there?"
"We'll find a way." I said. "As long as we enjoy our honeymoon, then it won't be a problem."
"Wow." Clair said. "At least you'll enjoy yourself."
Daniel looked down at us as Gary walked in with some pie made for us to eat. As we continued on with the festivities, I looked over to them. We still wanted to know where he and his father came from as it still held a hole in our heart to know. Daniel did mention that he and his father were from England. Which city they were from, we don't know. It was then in the moment that he looked down at us and decided to tell us everything.
"I was born in Northhampton, England." Daniel said. "I was born on time while Nick was 12 minutes behind me. We moved to London when I was six because my mother had a job as a nurse in the hospital. My sister, Julie, I was close to as my brother and I didn't get along. My mother died when I was 15 and in high school. When I turned 18, I was a soap actor for English soap opera called Eastville Enders. Then...."
As I heard Eastville Enders, I remember watching the show in secret as I had to pretend actually hate the show and act like I never heard of it before. I did it for Vicos' sake, as he kept bragging that I never would watch the show. Daniel was only on the show for three years and left the show at 22. He mentioned that he was engaged to his ex-fiancee, Anna before she cheated on him with Nick. His father did warn him that she was no good and he didn't listen. It did help knowing that I prevented Daniel from comitting suicide and now he's my fiance.
"Syd's going to have a giant for a father." my mother said.
"Mom." Adam said. "Did you even have to....."
My mother used her extended hairpiece to hold him in place as punishment for talking back to her. He knows not to make her mad and yet he did so just to see her ticked. I shook my head as she let him go.
"Adam, don't do it again." I said. "You made mom mad."
"I'll keep it in mind, Melee." Adam said.
"Please do so, Dama." I said.
I felt him gently pick me up into his hand to hug me on his chest. The tears that I held up from with came spilling out so much that I didn't bother to stop them. I've been hugged by my own family and Daniel, but I've never been hugged by Gary before. This was just a new expirence for me, especially when he's being a father to me. I didn't expect him to continue hugging me, but he did.
"It's ok Melina." Gary said. "I know what it feels like to wait for someone."
"Daniel's your son." I said. "I tried to be strong for him but I feel like it isn't good enough for me."
"I know how that feels. "Gary said.
"You do?" I said.
"I am a father." he said. "There isn't a day I go without thinking about my friends. Especially my family, my other son, Nick and my daughter, Julie. My main concern is Daniel. He's smart, but I can't help but wish I was there instead of him."
"He needs you to stay here." I said. "We need you just in case of another giant attack Liliput again."

He promised to be there for Thanksgiving for the rest of our lives. Two weeks later, as I slept throughout the morning in my room, I felt the ground tremble.

My mother headed into the shower and washed herself. Then she got out of the bathroom and got dressed in the outfit she picked out which was a puple buttoned shirt, brown pants and brown boots. She bundled up after I did put on my black suede boots. I was wearing a blue silk shirt to accentuate my eyes and black pants. Our relatives came into our house and by that time, we got the necessary items out of the house. Then we headed into Daniel's house to have Thanksgiving with them. Once we got in his house, the Thanksgiving party began. We started eating, although Clair wasn't allowed to have any alcoholic drink in her system. I had wine and apple cider.
"So how's the alcoholic anonymous going for you?" I asked.
"Bad." Clair said "I'm even more tempted to drink alcohol. I'm trying to quit, but it seems so hard."
"I know." Adam said. "It's just like anger management. I'm tempted to get mad more, but I stuck through it. You have to stick though not drinking alcohol. That where it got you in the first place with your ex-husband."
"Even our boss, Mr.Terwill." I said.
As we ate, my parents wanted to mention where Daniel and I should go on our honeymoon. I haven't thought that far and blushed right away. Not even Daniel did too until he face them.
"Well I was thinking Nemakia." he said. "Then Mela and I could go to Jaivon."
"Nemakia and Jaivon." Adam said. "How would you guys cope there?"
"We'll find a way." I said. "As long as we enjoy our honeymoon, then it won't be a problem."
"Wow." Clair said. "At least you'll enjoy yourself."
Daniel looked down at us as Gary walked in with some pie made for us to eat. As we continued on with the festivities, I looked over to them. We still wanted to know where he and his father came from as it still held a hole in our heart to know. Daniel did mention that he and his father were from England. Which city they were from, we don't know. It was then in the moment that he looked down at us and decided to tell us everything.
"I was born in Northhampton, England." Daniel said. "I was born on time while Nick was 12 minutes behind me. We moved to London when I was six because my mother had a job as a nurse in the hospital. My sister, Julie, I was close to as my brother and I didn't get along. My mother died when I was 15 and in high school. When I turned 18, I was a soap actor for English soap opera called Eastville Enders. Then...."
As I heard Eastville Enders, I remember watching the show in secret as I had to pretend actually hate the show and act like I never heard of it before. I did it for Vicos' sake, as he kept bragging that I never would watch the show. Daniel was only on the show for three years and left the show at 22. He mentioned that he was engaged to his ex-fiancee, Anna before she cheated on him with Nick. His father did warn him that she was no good and he didn't listen. It did help knowing that I prevented Daniel from comitting suicide and now he's my fiance.
"Syd's going to have a giant for a father." my mother said.
"Mom." Adam said. "Did you even have to....."
My mother used her extended hairpiece to hold him in place as punishment for talking back to her. He knows not to make her mad and yet he did so just to see her ticked. I shook my head as she let him go.
"Adam, don't do it again." I said. "You made mom mad."
"I'll keep it in mind, Melee." Adam said.
"Please do so, Dama." I said.
