----------------------------Maximillan's Point of view.---------------------I was having coffee while preparing for the exam I had prepared for my student's midterm. Suddenly the doorbell rang, and I was surprised to see who was outside.‘Hey! Liah, what kind of nonsense are you doing? For Pete's sake it's ten o’clock at night, why are you still disturbing me? ’I waited for Liah to return to her unit, I saw on the screen that she seemed to fall so I immediately opened it and it was really good that I acted immediately. I caught her waist, is she eating properly? Why is her waist so small, so thin?
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------I kind of forgot the embarrassing moment from the last time. Mind you, I didn’t show up to the dean first, and good thing because we didn’t have a class with him that day. Another good thing, the meeting was canceled and now it's being held, I mean later.I remember how careful I was that day to avoid waking them up when I returned to my unit from the dean's. We woke up at six in the morning and had breakfast at the same time.Justin bids goodbye first because he still had to attend class. Maurice went back to his room and took Lore with him, anyway they are old. I’m sure they know what they&rsquo
-------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------“Fine. I'll have one, ”he said and was forced to take one bite. He looked at me before speaking even though he was still chewing. "I thought you were leaving?"I leaned my face closer to him and I saw him gulp...'What should I do with this cutie?'"Yes, but let me wipe this first." I approached him. Using my thumb, I removed the dirt on the side of her lip. “You're cute when you eat. Bye, don't think about me too much because we will meet at the meeting later. ” I smiled with success after leaving the dean's office.I keep checking th
------------------Merliah’s Point of view.-------------------------“Than-” Dean tried to speak but suddenly fainted.“Deannnnnnnnnn !!!!!” I shouted. I immediately asked for help to lift him into my unit because I knew nothing about the password of his unit. The stupid dean fainted before opening his unit.I called my personal doctor to check on the dean's condition."Looks like he fainted due to exhaustion, dehydration, and low blood pressure." Doc just gave me medicine and reminders before he left.We were the only two l
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------Someone suddenly rang the doorbell outside my room. I found it weird because who would knock in the neighborhood in the middle of the night?Who's that nuisance again?!Whoever this nuisance knocking at my door, he is too early to piss me off. This one must be a ghost. Is sleeping peacefully not a trend nowadays? I was forced to put on the robe that I had taken off before I went to sleep. I put on my feather slipper and checked the door.When I looked, there was no one outside. I turned around to go back inside my bedroom and then it suddenly rang again. T
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------"Anyway, you should start treating me like your sister-in-law HAHAHAHA," says Lore, then I joined her laughing ass out.We stopped laughing when we heard the end of ma’am’s stiletto, it creates clickity-scuffle-drag-clack sounds. We sat up straight and prepared for her boring discussion. After the lecture, she distributed the post-assessment test. Today's lecture is easy, though it's confusing to remember the dates of the wars and the names of the countries and leaders involved in the failed diplomatic relationship.I take note of the meaning of Diplomatic relation because it is included in the exam. Let me t
-------------- Merliah's POINT OF VIEW. ------------------------ I was resting in my bedroom when I received a spam message, no face, probably a dummy account. I still read it even though it's dummy to see what the chat meant to me. ‘I’m back. I want to see you again.’ My phone rang, I wasn't in the mood to answer if it wasn't my twin calling me. "Why?" says I. "What happened? you sound like a grumpy cat." “I'm tired, I would have gone to sleep if you hadn't called. What do you need?" "Nothin
--------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW.------------------------I stretched before getting off my bed. I got up and visited my plant on the small balcony of my unit. It's time for me to water my favorite flower, the Gumamela.I hope my flowers bloom, but it's only the resentment I planted for about two years that had grown.Speaking of resentment, it's confirmed that the garbage and garbage collector are here, I caught up with them in the elevator of the main building, that's why I started always going through the staircase. My day is ruined when I see the faces of those two."Why did they come back?"
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------We’re looking for a potential home hoping to find one nearby Lore's residence. Unfortunately, there are no more available houses or even lots at all.We dislike the two houses we visited because one has a bad view. While the other one has a small yard, and both are not in a good location.We are now heading to the last house we will inspect, and hopefully, it will be the last because I am tired, to be honest."What do you think of this one?" he said while pointing to the big house, it has two floors, and the outside is beautif
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I was standing alone in a vast garden when all of a sudden a voice had caught my attention.I was distracted when I heard the voice; it kept calling me ‘Daddy!’I couldn’t see the owner’s voice, so I followed the sound of weak laughter.“Come, find me.”I was confused because a new voice was calling me again. I turned around and found a boy standing behind me.
—--------------------Maximillan's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I tried to close the gap between our faces when suddenly...~ tok ~ tokI almost cried in pain when my back hit the floor because she suddenly pushed me. I fell on the bed. Thus, the floor caught my back.“Brother, we are leaving. Please open the passcode,” Maurice said on the other side of our bedroom door.Good thing that they are leaving… so… I wonder if we can continue despite our ruined moment.I watched her leave as she approached the door until she closed the bedroom door. I deliberately showed that I was sulking or I wasn't in the mood. I frowned when I heard the bedroom door open. I kept quiet and waited for her to notice me or lie down on the bed to rest."Instead of frowning, how about you take the Durex out of the drawer?"
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------My brother and sister-in-law are hanging out today in our humble pad because there might be less chance of us seeing and comfortably bonding like this as they will live far from us."Who are you talking to?" Maurice asked lore. He noticed his wife was laughing while holding her phone.“Ah, I talked to my former classmate in a specialized course at Oxford. This acquaintance of mine is talking about the one who liked me last year. He's still broken.”"So?" Maurice asked with a frown, and his eyebrow furrowed.“That guy who liked me back then has a friend who was also broken-hearted because of Liah”"Who are you referring to?" I asked innocently. I don't remember anyone trying to woo me during my stay in Oxford.“Remember that guy who a
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------Watching a movie with Max without the fear of getting caught by my fellow students nor his fellow faculty is so rewarding. We never tried dating in a cinema or public place during university days back then. I didn't know it was worth the shot.We had used to just binge watch in his dormitory when he was my professor and our college dean. We have to avoid seeing familiar faces and getting entangled with gossip.I leaned my head on the shoulder of my betrothed while his right arm rested on my shoulder. We are not fond of romantic movies, so the genre we chose is mixed with action; since we both have the same taste in movies.
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I heard steps coming from sandals approaching me. However, I didn’t look back to see whoever came to me. I never lose my gaze at the motion of the cloud from here in the hotel garden."What are you doing here? Are you upset because you had to move your wedding to next year instead of getting married this year?”I turned around and smiled at mommy. We are never close, but I am not mad with my parents. We're just not close since they are always busy. Even though Maurice inherited daddy's company, we still didn't have the chance to bond with our parents, they never reached out, and the same goes for us. We only me
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------"Hey, what are you doing there?" I patted Maurice with my foot.“Liah”“It's late, why are you sleeping outside? Don’t tell me you forgot the passcode of your pad? Why don't you call me Lore?”"She changed the passcode and forbade me to let me in."I scratched my head as I tried to figure out what had happened to the two of them. Lore probably got mad at my twin again."Wait, I'll just put these i
—--------------------Merliah's POINT OF VIEW—-----------------I stood in the body-sized mirror of the hotel where our wedding was being held. My heart was pounding as I listened to the sound of a large clock hanging on the wall.“This is it, liah. Today you will become Mrs. Dereux,” I whispered.Later I heard the door open. I turned around and saw a man holding the door, and I wondered why he wasn’t walking closer to me. He just stared at me from head to toe.I was nervous seeing his reaction, he was not the epitome of the happy man who's about to get married to the love of his life.“W-What’s wro
—--------------------Merliah’s POINT OF VIEW—-----------------After quarreling, spending time together without worries is a must to fix the gap in our intimacy. We decided to spend quality time outside today because we've been busy these past few daysWe deserve this date. I want to do what we couldn't do when we were still at Elysian University. I want to go to those places that we couldn't go to when I was her dean and professor because we were afraid of backlash in our relationship.The first place we visited was the playground near MAUI. It was the place where Max kissed me next to the swing. I still have these uncontrollable butterflie
