2020-07-26 06:32:03Jennie stared at Rose with pity in her eyes. They had been sitting in silence for the past twenty minutes, and her mother-in-law had not changed her position. Rose kept her gaze on the light from the window.
Suddenly the glow faded away, and Rose remembered how she felt like a dying light when she stood at the building with her baby boy and wondered what was behind its doors.
"What happened next, mom? Jennie asked.
She couldn't stop herself from inquiring. Rose did not move a muscle as she continues with the story.
The building had the name "Divine lovers hotel" in pink letters written on a billboard attached to the front of the building.
"Mom, come on! Let's go look for dad!" Jackson screamed at me.
Before I could come to my senses and stop my son from entering, Jackson had pushed the door open and entered. I went after him in a h

The bar got quiet by one o'clock in the afternoon. A lot of people who were in the pub from ten o'clock in the morning at the time Jackson and Steven arrived had left. These friends were two out of the seven people in the bar, including the bartender. Jackson and Steven finish the entire bottle. However, Jackson drank more than his friend, and he crossed his sober line. Steven noticed that his pal was drunk and decided that it was time for them to head home. "Jackson, wake up. I need to drive you to your residence!" Steven said as he shook his buddy out of the brief nap he had taken on the counter. "Will you allow her to slip out of your grip?" Jackson mumbles as he slowly opens his eyes and gazes at his friend with a tired smile. "What are you saying, man? Are you drunk talking?" Steven said. He sat back on his stool since he saw that Jackson was awake now. "I'm not. I

The chilly December breeze blew gently across the tree, allowing its leaves to swing from side to side. The wind mopped the streets as it passed by, carrying the falling leaves high above the ground and into the air. People continued passing by, causing the sidewalk to become boisterous with the sound of footsteps.A married couple and their kids sat outside by the shop window as their children happily licked their ice cream and played freely with each other. Julie watches through the glass and stares at their cheerful faces. They reminded her of her childhood days when she did not understand how terrifying and depressing life was and how hurtful people could be. She can still recollect the first day she discovered that the world was not full of sunshine and rainbows.The door to the Harper bakery shop flew open, and her four-year-old self ran toward her father with her mother by her side. Her dad could see that h

"Beep!" The loud noise of the other car woke Jackson from his sleep. He looked on his right and saw Steven gazing at the sky."What are you thinking about, buddy?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes to clear it."Oh, you are awake?" Steven replied.Jackson sat up, removed his seatbelt, and viewed his surroundings. "Why are we parking on the roadway and not at my home?" Jackson asked when he saw the busy streets and people."I was not thinking straight in the bar, but once I sat behind the wheel, and the alcohol left my system, I realized that we both look terrible. Your t-shirt looks like a rag, and your lip seems swollen from the cut you got this morning. Plus, every part of you smells like booze and blood." Steven replied as he rested his head against the car wheel and gazed at his friend."And whose fault is it that I look like a fiery mess?" Jackson asked.He

The yellow house remained noiseless as Jennie kept holding her breath in. "Jenn, are you okay? Your face looks red." Rose said with concern in her eyes.Jennie opened her mouth and let out a faint sigh. She then took a deep breath. "I'm all right, mom," Jennie replied. She felt better now that she had stopped suppressing her breath."I am glad that you are okay. As I was saying, do you have anything you want to tell me about why you are having all these insecurities? You know your husband is not cheating on you. So is there any other reason you have for thinking in this manner?" Rose continued asking her previous questions.Jennie knew she could not get away from these interrogative sentences, and Rose was good at detecting lies. So, all she could do was tell the truth. "For the ten months I traveled out of the country, I was not ha

Their ears were in too much pain to handle another turn.Jennie saw how red their ears were and the anguish in their eyes. She could not control herself from going in for another round of laughter.Rose watched Jennie giggle until her heart was content. "Are you done? If you are, then let's go!" She ordered.Jennie's smile fades away. She knew what her mother-in-law meant, and it was not to her taste."UH?" Steven asked his mom, wishing that Rose was not talking about what he knew she intended them to do."What?" Jackson questioned his mother, hoping that she was speaking about something different from what he had in mind."To where?" Jennie said, believing her feeble-minde

The bakery door opened, and it made a loud "bang" noise when it got shut. Louis heard the sound and left the kitchen to check it out. Julie followed her father. She was curious about whom it could be since the shop was closed for the day.Mr. Harper met Rose and Steven waiting for him in the shop. He did not know them. However, they did not seem like costumers to him."I am sorry for slamming your door. I did not mean to shut it hard." Steven nervously replied as he stared at Mr. Harper's athletic-built body. He thought Julie's father would be a tall slim guy since his daughter is slender and curvy."Do you know him?" Louis asked his daughter. He could sense the love and hate in his daughter's voice, and he knew this individual who showed up abruptly had some effect on Julie's miserable mood. Louis wanted to know why he does.Julie folded her hands and gave Steven a sharp stare. "Dad, p

Jackson walked into the dining room, fully dressed in a suit, and Rose and Miya gazed away from their food and awkwardly stared at him. “Dada!” Milo shouted, jumping in his seat. Then Mila and Milu followed his lead and started yelling, “dada.” Those words brought a smile onto Jackson's lips even though he had heard it countless times for the past few months. Beaming with joy, he walked over to his kids' seats and took Milo, Mila and Milu out of their chairs one after the other, playing with them for a moment before putting them back into their seats. “Where are you going in a suit?” Rose asked, setting her fork down on the table. “Today is Miya's final trial date, and I'm driving her to the courthouse?” Jackson said, adoringly staring at Miya. Taking her focus off her son, Rose gazed at Milo, Mila, and Milu and said, “Can you guys say ‘Nana?” “Mom, you've been trying to make them say ‘nana’ for six months now. Th

Your father is waiting for you at the church door.”The wedding planner said.A look of hesitation crossed Julie’s face.

Okay. We will be out in ten.”After the wedding planner left, Jackson turned to gaze at Steven, and a frown settled on his face.“Steve, breathe,” Jackson mumbled, walking over to his friend.“I'm getting married today,” Steven whispered, holding in his breath.“I know.

“Hey, mom. I'm heading out to meet with Steven.” Jackson said, walking into the living room. Rose took her eyes off Mila for a second, gazed at her son, and said, “Okay.” Then she focused back on her granddaughter. A look of disbelief crossed Jackson's face. Then he stared at Miya and whispered, “It's like I am invisible to her. Is it legal for a mother to replace her son with her grandkids?” “I think I have lost my rights as their mother,” Miya mumbled, chuckling softly. Rose rolled her eyes at both of them, and said, “Haha, fun… my grandbabies needs their nana.” “How long do you plan to stay here?” Jackson mumbled, struggling not to laugh. “Until they are old enough to call me Nana.” “Well. That's some plan. Anyways, I got to go. Steven is planning to invoke my right as his best man if I don't show up.” In a rush, Jackson kissed the babies on their foreheads and turned to stare at Miya, striving to say the words

Well they are babies now but they won't stay like that forever. And they love you even though they can't say it.” Jackson mumbled, taking his eyes off her and focusing on the ocean.“Oh,”“I know how much my mother means to me, and the love I have for her is endless. I think they feel the same way even though they can't speak now.”“How would you know that?”

When she heard footsteps approaching the living room, Rose lifted her head and her gaze rested on her son and Miya. “Mom, we are going out. I just hired a nanny to come over, but can you stay with the kids for a few hours until we get back? Also, there will be a few other people coming over, would you please supervise them as they carry out their task?” Jackson said. “Sure, you two run about your business, and I will be right here with these adorable cuties,” Rose mumbled with a smile as Milu’s tiny hand grabbed onto her finger. His lips curved into a smile as Jackson watched his mother's face glowed with joy. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thanks, mom.” “You don't have to thank me. These are my grandbabies, and I would do anything for them.” Rose said. The corner of Jackson's mouth raised as he watched the bright smile on Miya's pinkish lips.

After Jennie entered Jackson's room, he followed her in and shut the door behind him.“You and her?” Jennie mumbled while sadly staring Jackson in his eyes.It took a moment of hesitation for Jackson to stiffly smiled and said, “We are just co-parenting.”It grew silent between them. Then Jennie walked over to the bed, sat down on the mattress, and mumbled, “You are a dad. That was something you always wanted, and it hurt so bad that I am not the one who made you a father.”“Believe me, that's exactly how I felt when I walked into that room and saw you with your son. It hurt, it hurt so bad that I felt like I couldn't breathe, like the air I was inhaling was suffocating me.” Jackson calmly intoned.As her hand gently caressed the sheet, Jennie ushered her eyes closed and took in a deep breath. Then she stared at Jackson and said, “But you don't feel that way now.”“What?
