Chapter: CHAPTER 22 - LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISESAlthough he was startled, he grabbed her hands again and gently rubbed them against his.Her eyes were wide open, staring at him. “What are you doing?” she questioned, still trying to pull her hands away.He glared at her, “You’ve caught a cold, I’m just warming your hands.” Then, he stopped rubbing their hands, “I will stop if you think it’s inappropriate.”With her eyes blinking twice faster, she was unable to say anything.He snorted and smiled, “Am I that handsome?”Nuala rolled her eyes at him and landed her sight outside the taxi window. “It stopped raining.”Enoch leaned closer to her to look at the sky outside Nuala’s side window. “Yeah, we can get off here now if you want, and then we can walk from here to the place I wanted to show you,” he said with his hands still holding on tightly to hers.She nodded her head and replied, “Okay, that would be fine.”“Okay.” he said and turned to the driver, “Sir, we can get off here.” and the driver nodded.When they got off the cab, the

Chapter: CHAPTER 21 - THE FUNERAL PART 2Nuala sat down beside her mother, “Can’t leave you here.” she said and smiled. Enya smiled back but it was a sad smile, “Oh, honey. Thank you for staying by my side.” Seeing her mother’s sad smile for the first time broke her heart. She has never seen her mother like that; sad, heartbroken, and depressed. She was used to seeing her mother always happy and lively. “Sweetheart..” said Lindon, her father. “Hmm?” “Can I talk to you for a sec?” he asked. Walking towards the corner of the hall. Followed by her daughter, they came to a halt when they reached the farthest corner of the funeral hall. “What is it, dad?” “Sweetie..” but Lindon paused to take a deep breath, “I know you’re smart and I know you’re beautiful..” he said. Wondering, Nuala looked at his father with a questioning face. “What is it?” “I know you can’t control these guys to talk to you, but I think this is not a good time to be --” “Dad, I understand what you’re trying to say.” she smiled, reassuring her father.

Chapter: CHAPTER 20 - THE FUNERAL PART 1After talking to Anna and Meredith’s photo, Magnus looked at Bruce and asked while wiping the tears off of his face, “I’m sorry, what were you saying?”Stunned, Bruce said, “Huh?”“Yeah, the thing you were saying before I twaddled.”Going back to his senses, Bruce remembered, “Oh, yeah, well, I just wanted to ask if we should hold the funeral separately so you can have some privacy and family time?”Magnus looked at Jude, “It’s for Jude to decide.”All eyes at Jude, “I think that would be fine, so you can also mourn for Meredith.”“Okay, I’ll have Thomas and Enya prepare the documents needed.”“Okay then, let me know if you need anything else,” said Jude.Bruce nodded his head before leaving, “I’ll see you later.”As the men of the two families agreed on the next day's setup, Nula and her cousins went back to the bench where they sat a few moments ago.Otis, the six-year-old boy, who was sitting in between his big sisters, Hallie and Maggie, noticed something, “Those men keep on looki

Chapter: CHAPTER 19 - ANOTHER REVELATIONThe two families decided to hold Anna Smith and Meredith Riggs’s funeral in one place as they treated each other as real sisters.Three black and white photos were posted in front of the hall, one of Meredith, cheekily smiling, and on the other side is Anna, smiling sweetly while in the middle is their photo hugging each other, sitting on a bench, under a big oak tree; taken when they were still at the boarding school.Many of their friends paid their respect and shared their experiences and stories with these two wonderful souls.“Enya? Is that you?” said one of the guests.Enya turned and smiled but sadness can still be seen in her eyes. “Missus Arnolds? Hello.”“Dear, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother and Anna were very dear to me and my family.” the old woman said holding her hand.She gently squeezed the woman’s hand to show gratitude, “Our family really appreciates you coming here.”Mrs. Arnolds gently tapped Enya’s hands, “These two, they always say ‘till death do us par

Chapter: CHAPTER 18 - ANOTHER UNPLEASANT MEETINGEarlier the same day, Enoch had been struggling to keep his mind off the truth that his father had told him.He tried his best not to contact Nuala. He put her number on the block list.After sending his father to the airport, he went straight to the military base camp and spent the entire day training the newly recruited soldiers and doing the document reports.It was about almost dinner time when he decided to speak to her. He brought back Nuala's number to contact and was about to dial it when he received a text message from his father.Ding! "Have you told her yet?"He thought for a minute whether he would tell her or not. "I'm scared."And that's another truth, Enoch was scared that it would hurt the woman he dearly loves and that might change things between them."You? Scared? Why?"He sighed as he typed down the reason. "I just don't feel like it should come from me.""I understand. Anyway, we're just having a team dinner, and don't think too much about it.""Yeah."His father'

Chapter: CHAPTER 17 - THE REJECTIONFlynn invited the old man inside a room where he could take a look at the infected cat.Outside the lobby, Nuala and Alice were playing with the bunny toy she just bought for the kid, when her phone started ringing.It was a call from Enoch. Her face gleamed and her smile grew bigger.Holding her phone tightly with excitement, she said, "Uh, let me just answer this call. Excuse me." not looking at Reema.Without waiting for Reema to respond, she stood up and gently tousled Alice's hair, and stepped out of the clinic a little giddy.But not before she could open the clinic door, she already answered the phone. "Hi…" she said in a very charming tone.That action didn't slip into Reema's ears. "Oh my, my. Who could that be?" asked herself. 'Seems like our Doctor has to wait in line.' she thought.Outside the clinic, Nuala stood in one place, far enough not to be heard by Reema or Flynn."How are you?" asked Enoch. His voice was a bit dispirited.Nuala noticed his tone, "Are you okay?"It
