Broken Strings CHAPTER 27 SURRENDER
MELISSA QUIZON"Daddy, are you okay?" Wright helped Reid climb on top of his bed. When he climbed up Wright adjusted his jacket that was tangled. Wright was now about to be released in the hospital, we are just waiting for the release order so that he can finally get out.Wright smiled broadly. "It's nice to hear that you are calling me 'Daddy'. Can you call me again?"Reid nodded and bowed. It still embarrasses the father.I just watched them as I quietly tidied up their dirty clothes. As well as other unused clothes I had to fold.Wright gently pinched Reid's sharp nose. "Why are you so mean to me, eh, I'm your Daddy."Reid's face returned to seriousness. "Because you made my Mommy cry. I love Mommy. Do you love Mommy?"I stopped what I was doing. I looked at Wright. My heart jumped when I saw that he was also looking at me.Wright shot me an innocent smile

MELISSA QUIZON"Mommy, I don't want to be here." Reid pulled on my dress so he could get my attention.We were in the middle of Wright's large living room. He was discharged from the hospital last night. When Reid woke up we were already here at Wright's house and he gets cranky because his environment suddenly changes.I also told his teachers that he’s not gonna be able to attend his class today because he’s tired of the trip."Why don't you want to come here? Our house is better than yours?" We looked at Bobbie who was reclining sitting on the one sitter sofa. She stood up and approached Reid, she was taller than my son because she was older than him.Reid hid half his body in my thigh. "I don't have a playmate here.""Here I am, ah." Smiling Bobbie said.Reid looked up at me. I stroked his hair. "Mommy, let's go home."We heard a squeak from t
Broken Strings CHAPTER 29 FRIEND'S ADVIEN
MELISSA QUIZONI was about to leave the kitchen when I saw my son and his father in the living room. I hid on the wall near them to hear their conversation. I think Reid just woke up because his hair was still messy. I left them to cook our lunch.Reid looked up as Wright held his hand."Maliliit na gagamba, umakyat sa sanga." He sings while gapping Reid's hand. Reid smiled when he felt a tingle because of what Wright was doing with his hand. "Dumating ang ulan, at itinaboy sila. Sumikat ang araw, natuyo ang sanga. Maliliit na gagamba, ay lagging masaya!” (It was a Filipino song for kids)Wright teased Reid. He lifted Reid's pyjamas and blew wind in his stomach. His laughter was so sweet to hear. Their laughter. They are both tired when they stopped. And now lying on the sofa bed, Reid was lying on Wright's arm."Daddy, do you know how to play the piano?" Reid asked politely.
Broken Strings CHAPTER 30 SUFFER
MELISSA QUIZONAs soon as I opened the door of my room, a bunch of red roses opened up to me."Good morning, Beautiful," Wright said and smiled at me. I looked back and forth at the rose he was holding and at his face.I faked a smile and accepted the rose. His eyes twinkled. "For me?"He nodded. "One and only."I threw the rose on the floor of my bedroom. Wright's wide smile melted. I trampled on it until the rose petals fell off.“W-Why did you do that?” He was shocked at what I did.I looked at him and raised my eyebrow. “It was a gift, right? Since it's mine, I'll do whatever I want. ”"Mel—"“Reid and I are late. I'll clean up the mess later. ” I said and closed the door behind me.I walked quickly to the car. He silently hops in the driver’s seat. Sadness was obvious in his eyes. I do
Broken Strings CHAPTER 31 HE LEFT
MELISSA QUIZONI didn't wait for wright to drive me. I woke up earlier and rode a taxi. I know Reid will look for me but it would be up to Wright to explain to him. I did not go straight to school. Instead, I went to the hospital-owned by Eugene.I was speculating that I see him there. I want to talk to him. I want him to ease my mood. I have to take it out because if I don't, I'm going to explode.I entered the hospital and went to the reception area.I smiled at the nurse in charge. "Good morning. Is Doc Eugene here? "The two women looked at each other and then looked at me. “I'm sorry, Miss. Doc Eugene left already. ”I nodded. “Ah. When will he be on duty? ”I was nervous when the woman shook her head. “He left the country. Doc Eugene is in London right now. ”W-What?My chest tightened. "W-What?"
Broken Strings CHAPTER 32 I LOVE YOU
MELISSA QUIZON"Melissa, what's happening to you." He calmly said while holding an umbrella.I sighed. "I’m done. I'm so fed up."His forehead furrowed. "What do you mean?""I'm tired of loving, Wright." I inanimately said.Please, make me numb. I can no longer take the pain.I snuggled into his warm arm. He doesn’t care if my clothes are wet. I felt his breath in my ear. "Don't say that. Please, Baby.I closed my eyes. I could no longer feel the cold caused by the rain when he hugged me."I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing." I weakly pushed him. I forced myself to look at him even though my eyes were dimming with tears. "I wish I hadn't loved you before. I wish I had just followed Grandma's advice to me. I wish I hadn't met you again. I'm such a fool.""Melissa, you're not stupid. I'm just an asshole.""I'm a fool. Because

MELISSA QUIZONTwo days after Wright and I had a conversation in front of the grave of my Grandma before he becomes so busy with his work. He always comes home at night. We also treat each other casually.We still haven't left Wright's house Because Reid, Wright and I are already fixed some of our misunderstandings so there's no need. I don't want Reid to suspect anything."Mommy, Daddy isn't here yet?" I looked at him. Reid is running down the stair while rubbing his eyes. He seemed just woken up.I stood up and lifted him. I slowly rocked him, put his head between my neck."Not yet, Baby. Go to sleep again.""I can't, Mommy. I miss Daddy's bedtime stories." He murmured."I'll just tell you a story." I sighed. "What bedtime story do you want?""It's about the King and Queen. The King left his Queen in the war so the enemy got the Queen." What the hell.
Broken Strings CHAPTER 34 TRYING TO SLEEP
MELISSA QUIZON"Auntie! Auntie! Please lend me some lotion." Bobbie said actively. His mother left her to us that’s why she’s here at our home.I gently pulled her hand away and sat her down between my thighs. "Come here. I'll put you lotion."I rubbed the sunblock lotion in my palm and started rubbing it on Bobbie’s arm."Auntie, come swim with us. The water is cold. It's good for the skin."I bit my lower lip and stared at the blue water. That swimming pool seemed fascinating. They couldn't do as much as Reid so he enjoyed swimming in the pool here at home.Reid waved at me while hugging Wright's neck and submerged in the water.I gulped when Wright's eyes met mine, I immediately averted my gaze."Uh-"Bobbie stood up and smiled at me. "Teach me, Auntie. I'm jealous of Reid."He had already taken his pink life jacket and went down a st

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
Broken Strings CHAPTER 39 SMILING
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
Broken Strings CHAPTER 38 FOUND
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
