HazelOur laughter echo through the whole room as we laugh at the joke Esther cracked about the funniest moments that happened in the village. I felt like my stomach is going to burst from laughing. Funny enough, she didn't even smile while giving the story. And here I was eyes welling up. “Please stop it. I can't take it anymore” I said amidst laughter. “We share a lot of memorable moments in the village. I hope you have that memories with your husband before you leave this place” All of a sudden, my laughter died down. Bitterness settled at the pit of my stomach at the thought of that. I know a big storm awaits us. I was only denying it but I know it will happen. I masked up my sadness with a smile. “Yes. I'm enjoying my stay here. I got to meet you guys. And I also got a job all thanks to Mrs Janet. I really appreciate that” I said with a tight smile. “You’re welcome dear. Our motto here is helping each other. Be it a stranger or someone we know. Feel free. By the way, won't you

HazelI went into a state of silence for good two minutes trying to process the news Damon broke to me. I was shocked and out of words. He has regained his memories? He remembered everything? All about his past? And here I was having other thoughts about him. Suspecting him. “I was waiting for the perfect time to tell you everything” He commenced again breaking the silence that resonates within us. “Waiting for the perfect time?” I repeated letting out a frustrated chuckle at the end. “What perfect time do you mean? This is not something small Damon. If only I didn't confront you. I would-” I stopped to take a deep breath. “You promised not to get angry”“I’m not angry. I'm calm. Very calm. I was just saying” I said. “About that I'm sorry. I don't want any misunderstanding to come between us”Another silence fell in the room. I know the real reality has arrived. Whatever disagreement I had in mind before surfaces again. Now everything will not be the same again. Definitely we’d go

Damon The amount of relief that washed over me when I told Hazel everything couldn't be measured. It was as if a load has been lifted off my head. It was an unexplanable feeling. To see how we talk one on one regarding the issue that brought everything together is another thing. After we're done eating dinner for the night, we sat and discuss how to tackle the situation. I had gone back to reach out to Derek so he could come and pick us up the next day. We’d first stop by Hazel’s parents house before we leave for mine. Only I know what I will do to Mia. This time around, I won't even waver at any of her crocodile tears or fake lies. As for the people here, we’d explain things to leave too. I won't really say much but my stay here is enjoyable. It was the place that brought me and Hazel together. And for the fact that they saved our lives. I won't be able to repay the kindness. “What are you thinking about?” Hazel’s voice resonate to my eardrums as she crashed next to me. “Nothing.

HazelFrom the moment we left the village up to our way back to the city, Derek didn't stop talking. Not even once did he close his mouth. He kept on asking one question to another. One would think he's on a mission with the way he kept on investigating. “Can you keep quite for a second Derek" Damon said. I guess his patience has reached limits. I was surprised how he was able to answer every question Derek threw at him. As per the agreement, we'd first of all stop by my parents house. To be honest, I was eager to meet my parents. For the fact that I left without notice. I'm not sure about how they'd react to Damon. But what I know for the fact is that, I will not let go of Damon's hand. We've separated before, it won't happen again. We've gone through a lot of hurdles, we were able to overcome them. So I'm not afraid of stepping on any test. As far as I have him by my side. The pair of warm hand I felt on mine, snapped me out of my trance. "What are you thinking about?" Damon muffl

DamonThey say what goes around comes around. That was the exact situation I found myself in. Looking back to the past, all what I did was so foolish that I want to push myself hard on the face. I don't blame Hazel’s parents for their behavior towards me. I have nothing to say to defend what I did in the past. However, I know one thing is certain, I will never let go of Hazel. Not now or never. And giving up what I have? They have chosen the least punishment for me. I have prepare for bigger treatment than giving up what I possessed. What do I even have? Nothing? I've given up on it long ago. No words were spoken between me and Derek up to our way back home. I bet he was shocked that I agreed to it. Same way Hazel was. Running away is the most foolish thing I would do. The car came to a halt for more than two minutes. “Are we going in there together?” Derek said breaking the silence that hung in the air. “Yes. We have to tell them everything. Have you called Mia?”“Yes I have. I'm

Hazel“Mom you seriously don't mean what you said” I commenced the moment I stepped Inside the house. I was trying not to show my anger. Because I don't understand what is going on in her head. “Do I look like I'm joking? Do you expect me to be all smiling and embrace him with open arms. Hell no. That isn't going to happen. After what he did to you?” I swallowed something strong down my throat. “You know mom, you only think about yourself. I'm supposed to be the one to be worried about it. But I've forgiven him. It doesn't matter what he did in the past. I love him for who he is”“If you have forgiven him, we don't. I'm not going to go easy on him. I know he won't come. Do you think he's stupid to give up everything he possessed?” I didn't know when a chuckle escaped me. “You don't know what Damon is capable of doing. The fact that he said he will, he definitely will. To show you how much he love your daughter. And what did you do? You're trying to push him to the edge”She went si

DamonI have already made the necessary preparations ready to take off to Hazel's house. I slept at home because my father wants to talk to me. We couldn't do that in the night when he came back from Mia's father's house. So I decided to stay back to morning. No one knows about my decision yet. My mother wouldn't stop asking me question upon question. Sue was much interested in Hazel rather than me. I guess getting her consent won't be hard unlike Hazel's mother. I zipped out the duffle bag containing some of the things I have left in my parents house. I will stop by my house and get the remaining stuffs. "Damon you're up" My mother commenced as I made my presence known."Good morning" I said greeting them in general. "Morning Damon. How was your night?" that was my mother's question. Whereas my father only nodded his head. "It was fine" "Hope you slept well?" this time around I nodded my head instead. Breakfast was served by my mother's servant. I wasted no time in digging in. Af

HazelDamon said he will be here in an hour and the said time has passed yet no sign of him. I called his line, he's no picking. I don't know why I was getting worried. Maybe because of the way my mother was anticipating his arrival planning what she will do to him. The sound of my phone ringing diverted my attention from looking at the road. My heart skipped a bit. I thought it was Damon. "Hello Layla""Hazel, is Damon there already?""No. He said he will be here in an hour. I'm outside w-" "I think he's here" I said sighting a car coming towards me. "Alright. All the best. We'll hear the gist later" And the line went dead. The unfamiliar car stopped few miles away from me. With a furrowed brows, I focused my attention on the person that will come out of the car. It took me two seconds to lose all my focus on the man. It was as if that was my first time setting my eyes on him. "Like what you're seeing?" He said fast approaching me. Snapping me out of my trance. He gave me no room

“Thank you so much Mr.Leo for giving us your time today. And for the advice” Mels ushered as Leo prepare to leave for the night.“It was my pleasure Miss Mels”“Do call me Mels”“And do call me Leo. The Mr looks weird to me. I will take my leave then. Do have a nice day” And he turned around and left. Mels nudged Laura on the arm who was consciously quite. “What?” She mouthed.“Follow him” She gestured. Laura passed her a look. “We’ll talk later” She added with a wink. Laura grabbed her bag and slid it around her before making her way out.Leo was already halfway from the store. She heaved out a sharp breath before heading towards him. “Seems you’re in a hurry to get back home” She ushered. Leo was startled by her voice. He didn’t expect her to follow him. But then, that warmed up something in him. He didn’t want to go yet but had to. Maybe they could spend some time before he call it a night.“Do I? Maybe because I have long and strong legs” He answered. Laura steadied her bag and wr

Leo was surprised as much as Laura was. They gave each other a knowing look. Mels nudged Laura on the arm breaking her out of the trance. “You guys know each already” Mels ushered purposely.“You do?” The landlord chirped in. “You know her Mr. Leo?” He questioned again. A smile found its way out of Leo’s lips as he made his way to sit down. The look plastered on her face was quite amusing. I bet she wasn’t expecting to see him anytime soon. Although from his side, he knew they’d definitely meet. For the fact that she was hell bent on him taking responsibility. She has his card after all. Laura gathered herself together and grab her seat which was next to Leo. Mels words began coming back to her. When she said karma is a bitch. Now she believes it is. She won’t say she was expecting to see him again anytime soon. She collected his card only to bluff around. Not because she wants to charge him of anything or such. Leo noticed how Laura was quite. Completely different from how he met

They kept on dragging pulling it until all the content spilled all over the place. Leo swallowed a lump in his throat. It was the last piece and she allowed it to went to waste. It's better he should get himself another thing instead of wasting his energy on snack that is no longer in existence. He took a step forward and proceed to walk away only for her to stop him. "Excuse me. Where do you think you're going?" Leo foot came to a complete halt. He thought there's no need for more talk after what happened. What does the girl wants again. He's tying his best not to raise his voice on how the snack spilled on his shirt. As a neat person as he is, even a slight bit of dirt irritates him.He didn't turn around though. "You made the mess so you have to take responsibility for it" She had said. Leo didn't fail to let out a smile at her outburst.When he finally turned around, something flashed in her eyes.

His driver was supposed to pick him up ten minutes ago, yet more than fifteen minutes has passed by without seeing any sign of him.

Laura planned to have a ten to fifteen minutes nap, but ended up falling into a deep slumber. Even when Nanny knocked on the room's door, she played Ignorance. She could barely keep her eyes open. After all, she needed the rest and sleep. It was until she felt she couldn't keep her eyes closed anymore, when she dragged her body off the bed. She ventured her way downstairs where she met with Nanny knitting as usual. while MeIs was busy pacing around the living room with phone glued to her ears. "Who is she busy shouting at?" Laura whispered to Nanny gesturing towards the pissed off Mels. Nanny shrugged in return. She paid no attention to MeIs and her problem. It will only result into headache. Laura plopped her two legs on the center table, folding her arms across her chest as she spared the pacing Mels a glance. It took MeIs more than ten minutes ranting on the phone. Laura wondered whether her cousin doesn't get tired of talking. It was as if MeIs knew what's on Laura’s Mind, she om

She could barely walk past them as her voice was void to their ears. At least that's what she see it as. She settled her middle sized suitcase on the luggage section before proceeding to sit next to an elderly man who was consciously reading through a newspaper. "Hello" She managed to say dropping her handbag atop her thigh. "Hello young lady" The man spared her a small glance together with a smile which she found oddly weird.

DamonWith the amount of blessings I received within the year, I couldn't be much happier than before. I married the love of my life and the symbol of our love. Our son, Leo. She is my everything. The image of how I held her in my arms was still vivid in my eyes. I couldn't hold in my tears. Tears of joy. We are now a complete family. With me, Hazel and Leo. Our bond has grown more stronger than before. We have received a lot of blessing ever since we have our little son. Hazel is yet to resume work. She got promoted to a higher position. Whereas the company kept on soaring higher and higher more than before. "You're up early baby" I heard her sleeping voice from behind as she snaked her arms around me. "Um. Hope you had a great night?" I asked my eyes still on my laptop. I heard her sigh before she spoke up. "I wish I had. Leo wouldn't let me sleep. And you choose to abandon us while I suffer with the baby alone. Thought we are supposed to take care of the baby together" She reste

EIGHT MONTHHazelI purposely turned a blind eye to Damon as he went on pacing around the room venting his anger about me eating spicy stuffs. I couldn't even care less. I don't know whether the doesn't get tired of talking about one thing. He lecture me, I go on again. And it went on and on again for the past seven months. And nothing went wrong. If not for few days ago when I felt as if I'm going to give me that day due to the throbbing pain I experienced. I have never seen Damon worried the way he was that day. Deep down I was laughing in wickedness while in reality I kept on a calm face. “Are you going to keep marching like a soldier?” I said after a while. He took and fixated his eyes on me. His jaw was clenched. He was clearly losing his shit and I'm behind it. “You-” He inhaled a deep breath. “I don't know the words to use on you honestly. We have been dragging on this for the past seven months. We don't listen to me even for once. You do whatever you like” He exclaimed rak

Let's me get going then" I said rising up to a standing position. I spared Hazel's desk a glance before making my way out. I stopped by my father's office. I remembered I have something to discuss with him. "Damon. I was just about to call for you" He said the moment I stepped in. By the side was seated Mr. Kane. It was as if they are having a conversation. "Good morning Mr. Kane" I greeted. The man was surprised at my outburst. "Morning Damon.
