Sienna’s POV

Noah raised his hand again, as if he were already in class. “Sir, can I make a big dinosaur drawing and put it up on the classroom wall?”

Mr. Johan laughed, then nodded firmly. “Of course you can. In fact, we love it when children are brave enough to show their work.”

Noah let out a small cheer. “Yaaay!”

I glanced at Liam, catching the faint smile on his face. We exchanged a brief look before I turned back to Mr. Johan. “Thank you so much for explaining all this, sir. It really feels like this place is the right fit for Noah.”

Mr. Johan closed the brochure calmly. “If you’re ready, we can start the enrollment process. But there’s no rush. What matters most is that you feel confident and comfortable.”

I nodded, squeezing Noah’s hand tightly. “We’ll think it through carefully. But it looks like Noah has already

made up his mind.”

My son nodded quickly, his face glowing with certainty. “I want to go to school here, Mommy. I promise I’ll be a good student.”

That innocent sentence made me smile, though my eyes felt hot. For Noah, all of this was worth fighting for.

Liam sat beside me, listening closely. Every now and then, he nodded, even asking questions I hadn’t thought

1. of.

“What about safety at this school? Is there strict supervision during class hours and breaks?” he asked.

I glanced at Liam, both surprised and relieved. There was a seriousness in his eyes, a genuine focus on the details. As if he truly wanted to make sure Noah got the very best.

Mr. Johan answered calmly. “We have security guards at every gate, CCTV in public areas, and teachers who always supervise during recess. So parents don’t need to worry.”

I let out a breath of relief. Safety was one of the things I worried about most.

I felt my body relax slightly, though my hands still clutched the brochure tightly in my lap. Mr. Johan’s words flowed steadily, explaining one by one the details that had once filled my mind with anxiety. Each point about

supervision, learning activities, and support for children’s development made me feel less alone in protecting

Noah.

Beside me, Liam sat with his back straight. His eyes were fixed, absorbing every piece of information without missing a word. There was a new calmness about him, so different from the rushed, distant figure he had often been in the past. Seeing him like this felt strange, yet also reassuring.

Noah was still busy with the brochure in his hands. His little fingers pointed at the pictures of bright classrooms, a green playground, and a small, clean swimming pool. His eyes sparkled, and I could feel his excitement seeping into me. For him, all of this was just a new adventure waiting to begin. For me, it was a huge

decision that would shape the days ahead.

As the explanation continued, my mind occasionally drifted. I remembered how, just a few months ago, I couldn’t even imagine sitting in this room with Liam quietly listening to someone talk about our child’s future. It had seemed impossible. And yet, here I was. The change was so real, though I still didn’t dare fully trust it.

The room remained quiet, only Mr. Johan’s voice filling the air. I lowered my gaze for a moment, taking a deep breath, trying to sort through the tangle inside my head. The brochure in my hand felt heavier now not because of the paper, but because of the weight of the choice I was about to make.

Noah, sitting on my lap, didn’t seem too interested in the adults‘ conversation. His eyes roamed around the room and stopped at a large poster showing children playing soccer on a green field.

“Mommy, look! A soccer field! I can play there, right?” he asked eagerly.

I smiled, stroking his hair. “Yes, sweetheart. If you go to school here, you can play on that field.”

Noah let out a small cheer, then patted Liam’s hand. “Daddy, I want to go to school here! Pleeease?”

Liam chuckled softly and nodded. “Let’s see everything first, son. But if you like it, Mommy and Daddy will

think about it.”

After that, we were taken on a tour of the school. The wide green field stretched out beside the main building, with a small spectator stand. There was a music room filled with instruments from piano and guitar to drums.

Noah lingered there for a long time, his eyes glowing with curiosity.

In the library, I felt a lump in my throat seeing shelves lined with children’s books, with a reading corner decorated with colorful rugs and soft cushions. I could already picture Noah sitting there in a corner, reading his favorite storybook.

“This place feels cozy,” I murmured.

Walking beside me, Liam turned his head. “Yeah. It seems they really think about the children’s comfort.”

I nodded in agreement. Bit by bit, my nervousness eased. Seeing this environment, I felt Noah could truly grow

here.

Noah, meanwhile, almost never stopped asking questions. “Mommy, if I go to school here, can I learn guitar? And can I play on the swings too?”

Mr. Johan answered patiently. “Of course. All of that is available for our students.”

Noah turned to me with the most genuine smile. “Mommy, I like this place.”

My heart warmed at his words. I reached for his hand, holding it tightly. “Then Mommy’s happy too.”

We returned to the administration office to collect the enrollment forms. Liam and I sat side by side, listening

once more as the admission procedures and costs were explained. I worried for a moment about the fees, which

were not small, but before I could say anything, Liam spoke first.

“It’s alright. What matters is that Noah gets the best.” His words were simple, yet they made my chest tremble.

I turned to him, staring at his face for a long moment. There was real determination there, and for once, I felt

we were on the same side fighting for the same thing.

Noah was still busy studying the school poster in his hands, his eyes full of dreams. I gently stroked his hair.

On the way home, the atmosphere in the car felt different light, filled with small laughter. Noah sat in the back

seat hugging the school brochure as if it were a treasure. His smile never faded, and he even hummed little

tunes. Seeing him so happy warmed my

heart.
