MELISSA QUIZON"Just take him to his room," I said to Eugene as he lifted my sleeping son out of the car.He is tired of participating in various games. The event ended almost at dusk, so we went home at night.Eugene nodded and headed straight for Reid's bedroom door. I put down the bags that held the clothes we used earlier. I took out the food container one by one and put them in the sink. If I take care of it tomorrow, it will probably stink so bad.When I turned, I saw Eugene standing behind me. I could see the tiredness and joy in his eyes as he stared at me. Reid always teases him because he likes to swim in the deep part of the pool. I don't know how to swim so he only invites Eugene.I wiped my hand. "You want a chocolate cake?"He reached for me and put my hair behind my ear. "'Don't bother, I know you're tired too."I close my eyes as
Broken Strings CHAPTER 16 WRONG DOOR
MELISSA QUIZONThursday came quickly. This is my first day at my new responsibility. Reid still doesn’t know about my new job. I don't want to lie but it's better to keep it a secret from my son. He might think of asking about Wright and I have nothing to answer. Eugene knew about my new job. If I needed him, he would come right away."I'll pick you up later. Wait for Mommy." I said softly to Reid as I send him to school."Yes." He nodded and kissed me on the cheek before entering the gate of his school.He stopped walking and faced me again. He waved and I waved too before he disappeared from my eyes sight. I hailed a taxi to go to Wright's address. I had prepared myself for our confrontation. I shouldn’t get over how I feel, the feeling of hatred.Yes, I still love him. But I can't be with him anymore. I love my son more now. My world revolves around him.My mind was

WRIGHT AGONCILLO"Wright, that's enough." Racky took the tequila from my hand.I looked at her sharply. Behind her, there is Fier and Leon who were also quietly watching. "Give it back to me!"I stood up and towered her. I looked at her menacingly. She backs away but still doesn’t give me the glass.“What the heck, Wright! You have to stop. You're ruining your life because of that flirtatious woman!” She cried out despite the fear.I gripped her jaw, she winced. I looked at her hard. She also dropped the glass and grabbed my hand on her jaw. "W-Wright.""Don't you ever cuss at my girl, Racky! I'll hurt you!" I lost all my control. My surroundings have turned red.Fier quickly approached us and removed my hand from Racky's jaw. He pushed me away and put Racky behind him. I saw how Racky cried and hugged Leon. Damn, I made the woman cry again."Enou
Broken Strings CHAPTER 18 THE TRUTH
MELISSA QUIZON"Mommy!"Wright looked down at the thighs and smiled sadly as he watched Reid. I turned to Reid as he held my hand. His forehead is furrowed. He looks like his father."Why are you here? Are you related to us?" Reid asked.I didn’t know what I should answer his question. Wright and I looked at each other. I could read in his eyes the anticipation that our son would meet him. I had long prepared for Wright and me to face each other. I've been thinking for a few days and I've made up my mind.My son deserves to have a father. I will no longer disregard that right.I swallowed a few times. I knelt so Reid and I could meet eyes. "Give Granny the flower and the candle first. Don't play with the candle, okay? The last time you played it, your hair got burned. We'll just talk."One of his eyebrows rose and looked at Wright. "You're not going to steal my mo

WRIGHT AGONCILLO"Reid." Melissa left beside me and went to Reid. She leaned over and held our son on the shoulder. "Baby, Mommy will explain.""He's my father?" He sobbed.Melissa did nothing but nod. She wiped the tear from Reid's cheek. I leaned over them and bowed in front of Reid as well. I knew I was hurting Melissa.My son looked at me as I took his hand and moved it to my cheek. "I'm sorry, Reid. I miss you a lot. But, I'm here now for you and your Mommy. You want a complete family, right?"Reid glanced at Melissa's reaction. His eyes will be wide open."Mommy, do you still remember my promise to you?" He wiped away the tears that fled from her mother's eyes. "I hate the people who made you cry and hurt you. I'll protect you, Mommy.""Reid..." Does that mean he won't accept me?"Let's go home, Mommy." The smile did not reach his eyes. Melissa st
Broken Strings CHAPTER 20 DADDY
MELISSA QUIZONI woke up when something squeezed between my heads. When I woke up, I saw my son's shiny hair and everything that happened yesterday came to my mind. What else can this day bring for my son and me?I kissed her on the forehead before slowly getting up. It moved a bit to face the other side and hug the teddy bear Eugene had given her.I was cooking for our breakfast when I heard a knock on the door. I was surprised when I saw Wright across from our house and immediately opened the door but the screen door remained locked."What are you doing here?" He's wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and faded jeans. He also wore a cap and ray ban. It also has a dog tag hanging around its neck."I cooked breakfast for us." A smile spread across its lips. It even lifted the bag it was holding. I immediately smelled the burger inside non.I sighed. "I told you, give my son time so he c

MELISSA QUIZON"Goodbye, Miss Quizon." One of my students shouted before he got inside his service. I smiled and I waved my hand on her.I was about to leave school when my cellphone rang. I immediately opened the message.From: EugeneI'll fetch you. Give me ten minutes. Wait for me, okay?I hit reply.To: EugeneOkay. In the waiting shed.Soon a black car pulled up in front of me. Eugene got out of there. I immediately stood up and watched it."Why did you pick me up? Am I bothering you?""I haven't been with you for a few days. I miss you." He laughed. He opened the car door for me."Where will we go?" I said as he entered the driver's seat.I looked at the wristwatch. "Reid is home at four o'clock. We still have two hours to kill. Wanna go to the mall or something?""Okay. Mall."I was curr
Broken Strings CHAPTER 22 USED TO IT
MELISSA QUIZON"Can I kiss you, Mel?"My eyes widened at what Eugene said. "Huh?""I'm not tired of waiting. I just want to know how you feel about me.""I want to know too, Eugene." Is kissing effective based on how a person feels? Wright did the same to me and he knew how I felt.He turned to me and touched both my cheeks. "Can I?""You can." Yes.He leans down and kisses my lips, and he sucks at my lower lip."Eugene." Comfort. I felt comfortable."So sweet. It makes me want to taste more." He caressed my lower lip as we both caught our breath."Why do men kiss based on how women feel?""Girls are complicated to understand. But when it comes to kissing they reveal their true feelings.""What did you feel when I kissed you?" I mumbled."What do you feel while I kiss you?"I raised an eyebrow and slapped him li

MELISSA QUIZON"I like this one," I said while tasting the different flavours of the cake for our wedding."But, Baby, I hate strawberries." Wright's sweetly say as he caressed my thigh."But, I want this. Please? Just give it a shot. Hmm." As I extend the spoon to his lips.His face turned sour and he shook. I pouted and said 'please'. He sighed and ate the cake.Reid tugged my blouse to get my attention. "Mommy, I want to."I split the cake and put it on my saucer and feed it to Reid. I wiped the edge of his lip because there was the icing on it. I turned to Wright and saw him spitting the piece of cake in the tissue as I frowned at him."Sorry." Guilt is visible on his face.I raised an eyebrow at him. "Really?"Nervously he says "I'm sorry, okay? I don't like strawberries. But if that what makes you happy, okay fine. I can bear the taste."

MELISSA QUIZON"Have a snack first, kids," I said with a smile and laid the tray of food in the middle of the low table where Reid and his classmates were working on their project.Three of Reid's classmates came to our house to do their project."Thank you, Mommy Pretty." Thunder said.I messed up her hair. "You're welcome, Handsome.""She's not handsome, Mommy. I'm the only handsome for you, right?" My son pouted his lips.I approached him and squeezed his cheek. "You're the most handsome of all the handsome, son.""Really?""I am the only handsome. No one can beat my looks." I turned to Wright. And frowned at him."Picking a fight with kids. Wright?" I said. I sneer at him. I turned my gaze back to the children. "Oh hey, you kids eat first. Don't pay any attention to him."I took care of the kids. I know Wright understands why we are cancelling our mee

MELISSA"Fuck it!" I heard Wright shout from the bedroom.Reid and I looked at each other. Our son lost his focus on his assignment."Stay here. Do your assignment." I ordered him before I stood up and quickly went inside the room.I saw Wright standing on a weighing scale. He was wearing only sweat pants and no shirts. I closed the door and approached him."What are you doing?" I hugged him around his waist."I gained weight." Disgusted he says. He left the weighing scale and addressed me. "And I think of someone to blame."My forehead furrowed. "Me?"He tilted his head on the other side and smirked. I froze when he lifted me and dropped me on the bed. I bit my lower lip when he stops on top of me."So, is this the way you can think of to lose weight?" I laugh at the question. "Seriously, you're acting like a girl.""Uh-huh. Maybe, I was just acting to m
Broken Strings CHAPTER 41 RECKLESS KISS
MELISSA QUIZONI got out of the car. I don't take my eyes off him because maybe when I close my eyes he will disappear from my sight. Is this the well -known Wright Agoncillo? He used to be someone who can’t live without his helpers, can't ride a jeep because of his many cars. He was no longer the former Wright who could not endure under the heat of the sun and sweat. His last name is well-known because of the amount of company they have but here he is and he is threshing rice, pulling bones, his clothes are dirty, and his clothes are wet with sweat.He has already changed.It was as if something touched my heart when I noticed the weariness on his face. His companion saw me and said something to Wright.My heart leapt as he slowly turned to me."Melissa!" He ran closer to us. I could no longer control myself so I met him. He hugged me around my waist and I wrapped my arm around his ne

WRIGHT AGONCILLO"Looks like we've reaped a lot today, huh?" Mang Heronimo asked me while adjusting his hat."One hundred ark, Mang Geronimo."I wiped the sweat dripping down my face."Not that bad huh." The old man touched my shoulder. "Take a rest, son. We harvest until nightfall and tomorrow we will sundry the rice."I took a deep breath. "Thank you, Mang Geronimo."The old man left and I entered my hut. When I was able to rest, I took off my clothes and went out to bathe in the poso (poso is an old-style water pump). I just took a quick bath so that I don’t get sick.After I got dressed I went to the nearby store to buy sardines for my food tonight. I paid for it and went home to my hut. I ate and then lay on the pallet.&nbs

MELISSA QUIZON"Baby, don't be naughty. The aeroplane is about to land." I reminded Reid and held his hand."I'm so excited, Mommy." He’s smiling widely as he says those words.I smiled at him. "I know. Me too."We got off the plane when it landed. We got into our car that had been waiting for us."Welcome to our city, Ma'am." Greetings from our driver.I smiled sparingly at him and then wiped the dirt off the side of my son’s lip."Mommy, you like?" Reid said softly and tried to feed me his biscuit."Thank you, Baby. Go, eat it. I'm not hungry." I said calmly.I took a deep breath and looked out of the car. I watched the green scenery. It is far away from Manila. It feels like the air is clean here and there is no pollution.I've been nervous before. I don’t know how I’m going to deal with him after all that happ

MELISSA QUIZONOne year later..."Reid, come back here," I called Reid when I saw him outside the resort house again."Just a second, Mom." He said while looking up. He was flying the plane that Wright had given him a long time ago.We are here at a famous resort because I have a meeting to attend. It was good and Reid was on vacation so I took him with me."Ma'am, you still have three minutes before the meeting starts." My secretary caught my attention."Thank you, Miss Clara."She left after I told her that. I went outside to Reid and leaned over to hug him."You are something. You're getting hard-headed.""Because the view here is beautiful, Mommy. It's nice to fly an aeroplane." He says while moving the controller.We have a high place and you can see the beautiful scenery of the

MELISSA QUIZON"Mommy. Mommy.""Hmm?" I moaned.Reid waking me up early in the morning. I buried my face on the pillow."Mommy, Daddy's not in his room," Reid said as he keeps waking me up."Maybe he gets to work, Baby," I murmured."His clothes weren't in the closet either."It was as if cold water had been poured on me. I got up and ran to where Wright's room was. I violently opened its door.I opened his cabinet one by one. There was not a single garment in it. My knees are weak. I do not know what to think."I told you, Mommy. Where did Daddy go?""I-I don't know." I'm confused to say. I forced myself to smile at my son. "Maybe your Daddy left a note downstairs."we went down holding hands. There was a fear in my heart that he might have left us.The smell of flowers greeted us as we went down. Reid and I stopped when we saw the

MELISSA QUIZON"Reid, where are you? I sewed your pants." I said as I looked for Reid in his room.I walked out of Reid's room. I heard a noise from somewhere so I followed it. The noise was coming from Wright's room. I frowned when I saw the two talking seriously. I hid by the side of the door and listened to their conversation again."But, Daddy, are you and Mommy okay? Why aren't you talking?" Reid's innocent question.Wright stopped tying his tie. "There are things you don't understand yet, son.""Daddy, are you going to spend the night at work again? We won't eat together again?" Reid's voice seemed tinged with sadness.Wright knelt in front of Reid for them to level. "I'll be home early because I'll miss you. I love you so much."Reid's face lit up and he hugged Wright's neck. I haven't heard anything from them yet. I took a deep breath and dared to knock on the door.Th
