“Hey mom, took you long enough to call me.” “What? You didn’t answer my 50 missed calls, you child. Now get back here, we have a lot to talk about little one.” I smile sheepishly, knowing it all too well I’d be damned. I have always been a tough guy but one call from my mom and it’s over. “Yes, I know you miss me so much mom, don’t worry I’ll get there as soon as possible, Bye!” And with that, before mom could reply, I hung up and called my friend, Zen Alaric Malcolm, Aunt Hira, and Uncle Wave’s son. “Wazzup, bro.” He greeted me as soon as I called. “Prepare my car, I’ll get back now,” I ordered. “Oh, why are you ordering me like I’m one of your staff? Ask your father’s staff, asshole.” As always, Zen has a temper worse than mine, which is understandable as he’s been through hell recently. “Oh, why are you ordering me like I’m one of your staff?

Everything returned back to normal. Not until something happened. The most awaited part. On Friday at midnight, her mother just yelled for her dad to hurry as she was lying by their bed. Her father hurried, and Aurora peeked also to see her mother’s water had just broken. Excitement and panic instantly washed over her and her dad was carrying her mother to the car now as her things were already prepared last week. Her mom was screaming and yelling in pain, her face not that drawable now. Her father glanced at her and she helped him open the door and they were now in the car. Her father looked like he was panicking but trying hard to keep his cool. He then stepped on the gas and drove all the way to the hospital. All the while, Aurora stayed beside her mother for support as she held her hand and squeezed it. Good thing Aurora has high pain tolerance so much as it hurts her since her mother had a very hard grip and was strong, she just clenched her teeth and dealt with it. Al
Aurora woke up one morning feeling a bit tired. She just came back from her university in Toronto and graduated from her business management course. College was hell, but she was able to concentrate there without any distractions. She drove home yesterday as her mother was desperate to see her and congratulate her and they spent the last dinner eating and drinking and bonding with her family. She drove home yesterday as her mother was desperate to see her and congratulate her and they spent the last dinner eating and drinking and bonding with her family. Everything was already perfect in her life, except for one thing. One thing. As she woke up today, she felt something was off so she went to the bathroom to shower but stopped when she saw her reflection in the mirror. Black pentel pen marks were all over her face, and she knew exactly who drew them to her. Breathing deeply, she closed her eyes to calm herself down but couldn’t, and prepared her voice to yell out loudly, “
Isleen rolled her eyes at the question, “Do I look like I have another company here?” The man, who introduced himself as Ian, smiled. “Well then, let me accompany you throughout the night. As their drinks were made by the bartender, they cheered and had some small talk. It was quite boring as Aurora knew exactly the reason why the man came to her in the first place. He wanted what every man would want from her….it’s her beautiful body. It was quite boring as Aurora knew exactly the reason why the man came to her in the first place. He wanted what every man would want from her…it’s her beautiful body. Well, she worked hard to get in shape after all. The night was still young, and they kept on drinking. “The night is getting livelier now, how about a dance?” Ian offered his hands to her, waiting for her response. She ran her hand through her red silky dress that fell on her knees and accepted his offer. “Sure.” The beat changed into something livelier and got louder for
He looked at her sadly, still persistent in asking for her forgiveness. “I just want you to spare a second and give me time to talk, to explain my side. Please? Just hear me out and I’ll stop bugging you.” He said, looking sincere. Aurora is not even sure if he’s true to her words. She had enough of him. She gritted her teeth, “I don’t know if you’re really sincere, but if you really are, then try to gain my trust first, and then we could talk..” She said, walking away from him. Reagan’s eyes brightened at that, brimming with hope now, “I won’t fail you then! ” She heard him yelling against the loud music and Aurora just rolled her eyes, going to the exit as she lost appetite the moment Reagan just showed up out of nowhere. The past must be buried. There is no way she would get back with that bastard again. No way in hell. Seeing him again reminds her of the past her she was young and stupid. Not anymore. She hailed a cab as she couldn’t drive in this state, also since she's
“Well, I’ve been wanting to meet you now because I want to introduce you to this lovely woman beside me.” He said, smiling at the woman beside him. “Aurora, meet Vivienne Rose, my girlfriend…” The woman was wearing a bucket hat to hide the upper part of the face and when she removed it, Aurora gasped. As far as she could remember, this woman is Reagan’s…ex? Why the hell is this woman in front of her, sitting beside her best friend and claiming to be his girlfriend? And why the hell does things for the past keep on appearing? First Reagan, and now his ex? Vivienne Rose extended her hand, “Hello, Aurora it’s nice to meet you. I heard lots of things about you from Felix.” Aurora gulped, looking nervously at Felix who was grinning at her, waiting for her to shake Vivienne’s hand. seriously? Is he this dumb? Or don’t realize the situation he’s in? So that’s why she was feeling a bit off earlier because she would be put in this situation right now. Great. Aurora gulped, looking nervo
“She’s my happiness.” He continued, “The moment you turned me down years ago, I was sad and I didn't tell you, I just stayed by your side but then I met her in one of the business meetings where she sang life, I happened to talk to her, met her for a few times, and before I knew it, she lit up my world.” He said breathlessly, “I realized I was just infatuated with you, Aurora. The feeling I had for you last eight years ago was not loving and just infatuation. But right now, what I feel for her is real.. and now you’re here, telling me you don't like it? It’s the first time since I became happy and you don’t like it? Don’t you want me to be happy?” Aurora blinked, feeling a lump in her throat as she fought the tears escaping from her eyes, “I-I want you to be happy, but not with her. To the right girl, Felix.” Felix’s eyes looked at her with a different emotion now. Hurt, and expressionless..“Is that really it? Because it seems to me that you are jealous that I finally found the o
She snorted, knowing he was following her all day, waiting for the right time to talk to her but couldn’t… but Aurora decided to drop it. She silently got to his car on the passenger seat beside him without saying another word, which made Reagan dumbfounded, not expecting her to get in. “Are- you, really Aurora? I thought you said-” He stammered and she put her finger on his lips to shush him, not in the mood to talk right now. “Just for tonight, Reagan.” She calmly said before fastening the seat belt and looking at the window beside her. Reagan seemed to get it and understood her not wanting to talk so he instantly stepped on the gas pedal, now driving away and unto her hotel building. The ride home was silent as Reagan didn’t dare to disturb her peace, and she appreciated that a bit. At least he had some sense left in him. “We’re here,” Reagan announced, stopping by the driveway. Aurora didn’t even notice that they were already here… “We’re here,” Reagan announced, stoppin
