She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne ran toward Rissy and Chris and gave them both a hug. Luiz was right. She was really happy to see them.

Over a year ago, Rissy went through a traumatic ordeal that caused her to withdraw from the world and everyone else around her. It was the most difficult time for her and her loved ones, especially Chris.

Then, with the help of a doctor who was ironically part of Cayenne's abductor, Rissy slowly got back on her feet. She accepted her reality and went through several months of therapy. At the same time, Chris proposed to her just so he could take a short vacation with her before going back to work.

The last time she saw Rissy was during the children's homecoming party. As for Chris, although he never forgot to send his gifts on important occasions, they were only able to get in touch with him through a video call.

"I'm so glad you've come to visit us," Cayenne expressed after hugging them. "When did you return?" she asked Chris since she knew that he was busy working on a mission this past year.

"I returned to the base yesterday and I came here as soon as I could," Chris answered while following Cayenne to the living room so they could all have a seat. "

"He was just so excited to see the children," Rissy said which totally exposed her fiancée.

"Actually, we have another purpose for coming here," Chris stated which made everyone look at him. Rissy was blushing next to him though. "We're here to give you these," he said and from Rissy's bag which he was holding, he took out several invitation cards.

"Really? How did you get the time to plan all this?" Stefan asked when he saw what Chris was talking about. It was an invitation card to their wedding. "You should have asked us for help."

"Well, Riz didn't want to inconvenience anyone and she liked to be hands-on to our very own wedding. It took a long-time of planning, but we were able to do it through video calls whenever possible."

"Congratulations!" Cayenne said and gave Rissy another hug. "I am so happy for both of you. Expect us to be there even before the priest comes."

Rissy laughed at Cayenne's exaggerated response, but she knew that Cayenne meant what she just said.

"Now that I have given the cards, can I see the triplets?" Chris blurted which caused Rissy to sigh. She wasn't lying about Chris' initial intention of visiting them. He really wanted to see the children the most.

Seeing her excited expression, Stefan shook his head helplessly. "They just finished drinking their milk. How about you carry one of them and walk around?"

"Cool!" Chris responded and went over to the children to pick up one of them. "I heard that you became a clean freak because of the triplets, so I sanitized myself before getting inside your house."

"Yeah. I can still smell the faint scent of disinfectant alcohol on you," Stefan said with a faint smile. "I suggest that you hold Zeki. He is the most behaved among them. I bet you'd have a hard time with my princess because you are new to her eyes. Aziel won't be a problem, but he's picky with positions when being carried."

"You're making me doubt having children of my own," Chris whispered while looking at the kids. "Well, I guess raising three of them all together is difficult. You don't think I'll have triplets like you, right?"

"That is one in a thousand chances, so you may or you may not," Stefan commented with a shrug of his shoulders. "Anyway, before you think of having kids, I suggest that you enjoy your life with your wife because your kids will steal her time away from you."

"Yeah. I'll take that suggestion seriously. After all, I saw from a video that someone questioned his wife's love for him because of their kids."

"That is certainly not me," Stefan denied with a straight face. It was obvious that he was jealous of his own kids, but he won't just admit to it.

A few minutes later, after serving their guests some refreshments personally, Luiz went over to the kids and played with Aziel while Stefan picked up the little princess.

Meanwhile, Rissy and Cayenne chatted about the wedding. The latter wanted to know what else she could do to help the couple with their wedding. After all, Chris worked for Stefan for a long time and he was also one of the reasons that Stefan succeeded in pursuing his now-loving wife – Cayenne.

They talked about the bachelor's party, the bridal shower as well as the honeymoon for the couple. Due to Chris' special rank in the military service, he couldn't take a long break unless he was on a special mission, so they decided to take a short honeymoon overseas and return home to process some documents and do other things that the couple listed as part of their marriage goals.

"Give me a sec," Cayenne said and went upstairs to get something that Luna once brought for her. It was not really important because everyone can get it from any bookstore, but it was helpful, so Cayenne kept it.

While waiting, Rissy went to Chris and held Zeki as well.

The kids were familiar with her already since Luiz usually calls her to show the kids, but Riz knew that Luiz was just really checking on her well-being. All of her former students would call her whenever they could. She even found out that some of them got married already even though they were still young and she didn't mind it.

She still tried her best to offer guidance and sometimes, send them groceries or baby essentials.

Rissy's relationship with her students was very rare among teachers and students nowadays. She was very lucky to have them and her students think the same.

"This kid lives up to his name. I can tell that he is smart," Rissy commented in a whisper. "You are smart, aren't you?" she whispered again while touching the kid's nose. Zeki smiled at her which stunned Luiz. The child rarely showed his emotions to someone else, but her smiled happily at Rissy.

"I wish you'd be my nephews and niece's teacher in the future. You would be able to teach them a lot," Luiz commented which made Rissy smile. "Teacher Chan, are you not going to teach again?"
