Elexier’s POV
Seeing my mother lying in this bed just breaks me. Even when the nurse said that she is already safe, this still shouldn’t happen to her. She don’t deserve this. She has been a good mother to us and a good wife. I don’t know that father would really do that to her. I thought he can’t. But Iwas wrong because he is really willing to shoot her. And he did. I don’t know if I can still forgive him. But maybe. Maybe I can. Maybe I’ll forgive him if he just ask for it. He should ask for forgiveness from me, and my mother. I will give it to him. After all, he is still my father who only wants the best for us. He was just turned evil by the money and power that drugs is giving him. He is still my loving father, I know.
I looked at my mother in pity. Mom, wake up please. I still need to apologize to you.
My eyes are tearyand my nose is becoming runny. My vision is becoming bl
Amira’s POVElexier fell asleep sitting in his wheel chair that night.I don’t want to disturb his sleep so I just got him a blanket and covered him up so that he won’t be cold. I also didn’t leave the room. I got my self a blanket and made my self comfortable in the chair in the other side of his mother’s bed. And I fell asleep on there too. I am only awakened every time a nurse will enter the room to check on Mrs. Villamorannas.The next day, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the familiar back of Elexier standing in front of a table preparing some foods. Maybe he felt that I am awake and that made his gaze turned on to me. My eyes is still half closed but I can see him smiling at me.“Did I wake you up? Sorry,” He asked while looking at his food.“No,” I answered. “Why are you standing? What are you doing? You should have waken me up to do th
Elexier’ POVI watched Amira as she picked up all her things and put it all in her bag. She waved bye to me and then walked towards the exit and closed the door. I still ain’t sure that she is safe out there. I can’t still help myself but be worried. The only thing that will make me feel okay about her going outside is if she is with body guards. At least there will be people to protect her in case something happened.I looked at my mom as she is still unconscious lying in her bed. Staring at her for straight long minutes, I noticed that her finger moved. I was about to call the nurse and the doctor but maybe that was jus thing I see because of my want for her to wake up. But no. I saw her fingers moving. So even before anything, I quickly got up the chair I was sitting but my injury strained. I groaned a little because of the pain from my suddden move. As I stood up, I moved slowly this time and walked towards the door. As
Amira’s POVThat same day, I decided to go home to Elocin. Maybe I’ll just visit her for a few hours. I decided not to leave Elexier and his mom here in the hospital. They are both patients here. They can’t look up for each other even if, yes, there are nurses. But it just cant be just the two of them.I gathered all my stuffs and put them inside my bag. I composed my self before saying goodbye to Elexier. I faced Elexier and I saw him directly looking at me. His mom is peacefully sleeping on her bed. She is trying to gain back her energy.“My men will be with you again. I know you’re still not safe to go alone outside.” he said, not taking his eyes off me.“I’m fine with that.” I replied. I know he is just worried. And I can feel his concern for me that way. And in fact, I am also worried. I’m worried for the people around me that the
Elexier’s POVAs soon as my mom woke up, the door opened and General Santos entered. With his cap on his arm, he walked towards us and greeted us.“Good afternoon, Mr. Villamorannas,” He nodded to me and I nodded back at him “Mrs. Villamorannas,” Then he nodded to my mom. My mom smiled at him as a response. He then turned to me and faced me.“Mr. Villamorannas, I need to talk you for just a few minutes. Should we go out now to have some privacy?” He asked me. I looked at my mom and she just smiled at me. Then I faced General Santos and nodded. A doctor and a nurse entered the room. Maybe General Santos called them here to assist my mom as she shouldn’t be left alone. I am already in a casual attire. The doctor said that I just need to take few more medications and that’s all. We walked towards the exit, opened the door and got out there.“I
Elexier’s POVMy mother fell asleep right after our conversation. She got so tired of crying that when she calmed herself down, she already dozed of. I have talked to her doctor earlier today, he told me that we just have to wait a few more days and take few more medication for her to finally get out the hospital. I am here, sitting in the couch, watching her peacefully asleep. I sighed by remembering what she told me earlier.But I also know that we are the reason why he’s hurting. We are hurting him too! We are not just the one who’s in pain, he is too!He is still your father who used to play with all of you and carry you around. He is still the man I loved. The only thing that has changed on him is his perspective in life. Before, he is contented by what we have. But his ambitions grew and grew that even in the illegal ways he wants to achieve it.
Amira’s POVI got back here in the hospital at exactly 7 p.m. I slowly opened the door of room 67and saw Elexier helping his mom to eat. Her mom is on her bed and is trying to get the spoonful of porridge to her mouth on her own, but when it gets messy, Elexier helps her. He also takes cafe of the food that falls from the spoon I can’t help but to smile at that. I really thought at first, when we first met, that Elexier is nothing bt a cols, serious, bad mafia boss. But looking at him now, I see the soft side of him, or maybe the real him.“Good evening,” I greeted as soon as I walked towards them showing my self entirely.“Good evening,” His mom greeted me back. Elexier smiled at me and they got back on what they are doing. After a few minutes, her mom already finished the bowl of porridge. Elexier then turned to the both of us after putting away the dishes.
Elexier’s POV“Mom, that’s enough, let’s pack things now.”I said as I try to stop her from spitting words. Getting so embarrassed at what she’s saying. I just don’t show it but the insides of me is screaming out of embarrassment.“No, I’m still talking to Amira.” mom saidchuckling.I sighed, shook my head and looked down. Just look at my mom bringing some embarrassing things in front of Amira. I suddenly just want to be gone here. I looked straight at Amira who is also chuckling with my mom. The bright lights here in the kitchen highlighted her beauty. Her hazel brown eyes is reflecting the light, her straight get black hair, her pale skin that in just one touch you’ll see that it’ll turn red. I shook my head at that. She is beautiful. Really beautiful. “And I am really wondering how you two met? How did my son caught your heart?” mom asked, lo
Amira’s POVWe are now at the lobby of the hotel, eating our breakfast. There are so many tourist and visitors here. We casually ate together there. For some reasons,I don’t feel any awkwardness between us even after I became dramatic all of a sudden last night. I feel so comfortable today. I truly do. And I still have in mind what he said to me that night.“Well you have me now,”“Who said I want to get out of your life? I just entered, and when I enter something, I won’t want to turn back,”“Should I help you clean the mess of you ‘messy life’? Now you don’t only have your best friend to help you, you have me.”“Of course I will. And we won’t stop until it’s all beautiful again.I’ll help you cl

2 years laterI am here outside my school, feeling the breeze of the air that is touching my skin. And as this engineering school of mine is near the Manila bay, where you can watch the beautiful sunset, I stood here and watched that masterpiece of the nature. The sky is in the color of orange, yellow, and a hint of blue. Which calms my mind. I hugged myslef as I can feel the cold breeze. I took a deep breath, and smiled. I can’t help ut to smile. Everything is over. Everything have fall in their places. There is no more of everything. I’m at peace. We are at peace. Of my best friend slash brides maid Elocin, and my fiance Elexier.

Amira’s POVI woke up because of a dazzling light in my face again. Seeing that, I felt a little nervous as I may have a trauma for lights because of everything that has happened. I looked around and found relief when I saw that this place isn’t like those place where I am finding myself to be in for the last, days? I don’t know. What happened? All I remember is somebody injecting me with something and I fell asleep? Where am I.UI slowly let my eyes look around more on this place. There’s couch, there are chairs, there is a table and in it are foods. Am I…… Am I and a hospital?I looked at my hands and saw that I have a dextrose connected to me. So I am in the hospital? I am in the hospital! I’m alive! They have saved me! I felt happy and my hearth was suddenly full of warmth. I feel my lips forming a curve for this feeling I have right now. This can’t be exp
Elexier’s POVI was so furious aster that call with him. And what make me even more furious that I don’t exactly know where they are! I cursed so loud and placed my hands on my forehead, thinking of the next thing I should do. And then I thought of something suddenly. The call. I picked up my phone from my pocket and touched that ended call. I just hope Amira’s location is on, so could track where she is. I won’t let anything happen to her.Few more minutes of doing it, I finally got her location. Gotcha!Barangay 163, Pasay City.I quickly started the engine of my car and get out there as soon as I found out where she is. I just hope I arrived there in time. Because if I don’t, I don’t know what will I do to that Lozano. This can be the first time I’ll be killing somebody.While driving, I called General Santos to tell that i
Elexier’s POVI was driving my car fast trying to chase and follow the route of that white van. The police’s gave me some options on where the van went as they don’t know where exactly it go. I cursed so loud inside my car thinking what they might do to Amira. I swear, they will pay if they tried to give even just a small bruise at Amira! My breathing is hitching when my phone suddenly rang. I looked at it and saw Amira’s number calling. I stepped on the break very quickly and answered the call.“Hello Amira?! Where are you?! Are you okay?! Where are you?!” I immediately asked continuously when I answered the call. I didn’t heard Amira’s voice, instead I heard a man’s evil laugh on the other line.‘Elexier, Elexier, Elexier. Oh Elexier my dear, why are you so worried about this girl huh?” The man spoke and then laughed again. Upon hearing that famili
Elexier’s POVAfter that talk with Amira, she decided that she should get their things first in their boarding house so that they could stay here. I didn’t agree with her, because I’m afraid that something might happen when she leave here. We can’t still tell how our enimies are thinking. They might be planning for their next move now. I told her that I can just buy them new clothes because I really can,I really would. But she insisted. She said that that is not needed.“Amira, it will be better that way. You are much safer that way. I’ll just buy things for you. For the both of you. We don’t know if you’re safe out there.Mr. Lozano’s men could be everywhere.” I said to her as they walks to the door, already leaving. I followed them.“That’s a no need Elexier. I understand your concern but if we are able to get here safe, we will get back here safe.
Amira’s POVThe whole night that day, my eyes are closed but my mind and my senses are awake. I can’t sleep thinking bout things that might happen. And I can’t take it if Elocin will be hurt and involved because she shouldn’t be. It’s midnight now. I didn’t dare to open any window to check if those men are still here.My phone’s alarm beep and it woke me up. I didn’t know if that was what you call sleep. It felt like just a second. I think I just took a nap. I picked up my phone from the table near my bed and saw that it’s 6; A.M in the morning. And I fell asleep at 4:00 A.M. I guess. I got up the bed and walked up to my door and slowly opened it. When I got out my room, I saw the lights on the kitchen are open. I walked to there and saw Elocin making breakfast.“Oh, you’re already awake,” She greeted at me when I entered the
Elexier’s POV I drove Amira home to her house and my mom and I drove directly to my condo. My mom immediately got in her room and I guess, she already dozed of. I went to my room and took a shower. This day is so tiring. But it’s so fun. I can’t help but to smile while on the shower. Oh man, I guess this is bad. I’m doomed. Amira already found her way on how to get in my system and drive me crazy. And I am literally in here in the shower, taking a bath, thinking of her. But I just can’t help it. I got out the shower and blow dried my hair. I then let my self fall in my bed. I’m just staring at the ceiling, waiting my eyes to close and sleep. But even if I already close my eyes, Amira’s image is there. I chuckled at my self. I’m crazy. But my smile faded away when I realized what will happen tomorrow. We’ll be visiting my father, in the jail. Mom have requested this to me. And she have already waited for so long to
Amira’s POVThe last one day remaining on that vacation is awesome. I was so happy that straight 3 days. I felt like I’m at ease. Away from the problems. In that day three of our mini vacation, Mr. Suarez and Elexier held a business meeting for 3 hours. And then, the whole day, we spent that in fun. We did all the things that everyone enjoys. We did scuba diving, and we swam on the seashore. (as I don’t want to go further.) and other things that make me so happy. My heart, is filled with cupcakes and rainbows. No other than that. Then at exactly 5 P.M., we left the resort and then took our flight back to manila. We arrived in Manila at midnight after that tiring but fun day. Elexier drove me to my best friends boarding house. We got out the car as soon as we arrive there.I guess Elocin is still awake, as usual.“Uhm, Thanks Elexier. Thanks for driving me here and, also thanks for that vacation. I enjoyed it.&r
