Troy Hanzou Monreal's Points of View;I don't know how I got up since I mourned the loss of my beloved wife. I don't know how I can continue my life when the only woman who gives me strength has been taken away from me by God. Is that really the life of a person? Is my wife's life really only ended there? She is not a bad person, but why was she chosen to be dead at such a young age?I don't know how to start. The ones who have accompanied me are my children, who are also shocked by the incident. They blame themselves so much, but they are not at fault. We hid it from them according to Abigail's wishes. She doesn't want to disturb our children. She wants them to make the most of their lives while enjoying their youth and zest for life. She didn't want to get in the way. It's something that makes me cry every night because I'm afraid that one day, when I wake up, she will suddenly disappear from me.I'm longing for my wife. I'm longing for the woman who makes me feel so loved and speci
Abigail's Point of View; I felt like an idiot while walking along the hallway because I pushed myself against the wall just to avoid what I was supposed to avoid. Too messy. I'm confused. Ever since I left Troy's condo this past week, that man hasn't silenced me. I'm the one avoiding his presence, but he's the one who keeps coming. I was just surprised; he already had a bunch of roses with him and was going to give them to me all of a sudden. Candy was trying to make me explain to her what's happening, but I couldn't do it because even I was confused by Troy's sudden action, while we did have an argument before he got a fever. "You're my wife! Damn it, we're already married. We have kids; their names are Stacey, our eldest, Stella, our second, and Smael, our third born. Argh, I don't know. I don't know what to call that. Maybe it was just a dream, but it feels real. I even saw you burried—" That man. Everything was a dream to him, but I want him to punch him because why even did I
"Are you sure about that, Aby? Doesn't it look like a swag?"My face crumpled when I looked at Candy who was next to me with a frown on her face while her eyes were staring at the bunch of roses I was carrying. I fixed my posture and rolled my eyes."You know Candy, you talk a lot, just don't look at it, right?" I contradicted her sarcastically which made her wince. "Couldn't you just support me here instead of cracking up next to me?" I was annoyed to tell her that she clearly hated it even more. "Well, Aby, your Aunt Anne will surely scold you when she finds out what you're doing. Argh, I just don't get it what's in your head. You're too dead madly inloved for that person.""You know Candy, they won't know if you don't tell them." I screamed and she responded by pulling my hair. "Ouch!" I growled as I patted her hand that still didn't let go of me. I can also tell that she has plans to pull my hair again."You're such an idiot---""That's foul, you woman!" I said, cutting her off.
"Auntie! I just said that I bought food for the beggars. You know I'm a helpful person, so yes, that's where all my pocket money goes—Ouch, Auntie, that hurts!"I was holding my head when my Aunt's pulled my hair. It didn't hurt that much but I had to hold back because she's definitely wouldn't let me go.I don't know why she suddenly rushed me into the kitchen and immediately asked about my pocket. It was only now that she was so intrigued that's why I was so surprised.Couldn't Candy have said that? I simply shook my head. Even though she has a talkative mouth, she can't drop me like that. "Don't make me look like fool here, you child. I wasn't born yesterday just to believe on your lame excuses." She stared at me with wide eyes. "I know where your pockets go, Abigail. How old are you? You're only eighteen, and you want to get into a relationship?! You want to get pregnant in no time, aren't you?"I snorted at my Auntie's words. "You're terrible, Aunt Anne. If I have a lame excuses
I woke up early as usual. Our class starts at twelve o'clock and I plan to leave the house at eight o'clock. I was whistling while cooking while thinking about what Troy would look like later when I handed this food to him. I feel like I'm being sprinkled with salt because of the excitement I can't control inside of me."Oh, you already woke up." I looked at Aunt Anne for a moment, her hair in disarray. She obviously just woke up."Ah, we have practice today Aunt Anne for our intramurals. We need to be on the court before class starts." I said. "Really?" Aunt Anne, promised unconvinced.I turned off the gas first and took out the bacon I cooked.What I said is true. Intrams is coming up and I'm participating because I'm a gymnast and at the same time I'm also a part of the school's cheerleading group. We have to practice before class since our group has to show off for the other schools. I'll also be dating Troy at the same time, of course. I don't fail there, even though I'm busy
"What are you doing Candy? You look like stupid." I was annoyed that her hand was constantly spinning around me.Her face crumpled and she crossed his arms in front of me, while her eyes are still glued to me.I just arrived. We don't have any practice today, that's why I came a little late— cut that out, not a little, I'm really really late. I didn't get into our first subject. The ending is that I wasn't able to take the quiz earlier. It's only twenty items but the points are big. I'll just go to my teacher later in that subject and ask for consideration so I can take the quiz. I can't down that 20 items, it's worth my grades for the final."Why you arrived just this time, Abigail, huh? You're an hour and a half late in our class. Don't tell me you came to Troy's building before taking our quiz?" She asked with wide eyes.I shook my head and pulled her away slightly so I could enter the room. We don't have a teacher for the second subject since she announced it that she is sick. But
"A bunch of flowers again?"I snorted when Candy grabbed my bunch of roses. I didn't even get through the gate when she started me again."Tch! Give that to me. You're really starting to annoyed me Candy, can't you just properly took it from me?" I said annoyed while grabbing the flowers back.Candy cupped her forehead and put her hand on her head, which was obviously annoyed on me too. I smiled at her."Do you have lice?" I jokingly ask to lighten up the atmosphere between the two of us.She stopped and looked at me. "The one who's receiving that flowers you bought is more than looks like a louse." She stomped his feet in the ground."It's so bad that you compare him to a louse." I sniffed again."Oh just leave it alone, Abigail. He's a pest for me!""Why are you so highblooded? It's still morning Candy, and you already had a horn. It's also a first day of this week" I said then continue to walk. She followed me after."Isn't it obvious. Who wouldn't get high blood pressure from you,
"We're still in the first choreo, yet you're completely missing your part, Abigail. Can you still do it?"I held my breath and looked at Bianca, the cheerleading team leader at our school. It was obvious from her face that she was no longer happy about my countless mistakes. Me too; I don't like it anymore every time I make a mistake. It's tiring to repeat my part over and over again."I'm sorry, Bianca. I'm just not in the mood today, but I guarantee I won't be like this tomorrow." It tried to sound promising.She shook her head. It's like she's trying to absorb my words so that she can't be mad anymore."Don't apologize to me, Abigail. You should go to our team. They work so hard for this routine; they do a good job on their part, but because you have mistaken your part, they need to repeat it not just once or three times." She said this and turned to our group mates, who continued where we started and ended.It's like heaven and earth have joined me. My failure today is embarrassin

"I realized my mistake in my actions, Mommy. I also know that I was not the only one who was hurt; Stacey explained everything to me. And I am the same to her. I apologize for avoiding him, I suddenly said to him. I was just afraid that we might share a heart; it didn't even occur to me that he would understand me better than I do myself." Stella gave me a long explanation.It's been a few days since she and her older sister talked. Their eyes almost met when they walked out of Stella's room together. Stella apologized profusely to the two lovers, who were only reciprocated by Lucas' smile and Stacey's hug to her younger sister. Everything is clear enough. They explained everything to each other, and eventually Stella decided to leave the country first to be healed peacefully.Troy was right. Stella will also think about this matter, so I have prepared myself.We are currently at the airport and are just waiting for Stella's flight to be announced. He was beside me with his hand on my
Abigail's Point of View;I never wondered in my entire life that my family would end up like this. Particularly to our daughters, who have misunderstandings because of one man. I can't believe it. The family I treasure was having a problem that no one could ever think of.I don't know what to say. Stella told me everything, and even Ethan did so. I don't know how to react to seeing Stella having a breakdown over something she doesn't want to feel.She's just in love. She was in love with the wrong guy, but that doesn't mean she committed a sin. while she's keeping her distance in any matter.I massage the bridge of my nose. This is absurd. In just a few days of us not having to be by their sides, this is what will happen. I really can't believe it."I take full responsibility, Mommy. I made a sin to them. I'm stopping myself; god knows how much I hate this. I didn't even think of convincing my sister to let go of her lover. I would never cross the line. I know where I should stand up,
Stacey's Point of View:It's been one week since the incident happened between me and Stella. And as I was wondering, she again pushed herself away from me and also from Lucas. Lucas told me everything; he points out those posts shared by Stella's account on social media. We're taping all those incidents that can be connected, and we are right. Stella's been having feelings since her debut. Since the day Lucas danced her on the shore in the middle of the night underneath the light moon on that July day.Feelings cannot really be stopped, because once youinterfere with your heart, it wouldn't change. In fact, it will bloom until you want to take the risk."You can't just decide for your sister's happiness, Stacey. You also need to hear what Lucas will say. You can't decide on your own because you're in a relationship with Lucas. Trust me, stop what you're thinking. That doesn't sound so good.""But I don't wanna hurt my sister—""You don't wanna hurt her, but you're going to hurt your
Stacey's Point of View;When we headed to our home, I was relieved when my parents didn't go home with my baby brother. They were most likely on a business trip with my father's team. I badly want to come with them, but I know it will be a great time for the three of them. Avoid a city with a toxic environment.I headed to Stella's bedroom, where I saw her sleeping peacefully. I heavily sighed and walked by her side. Lucas was already here. He said he's going to his best friend Thomas, and they will have a little drink. I didn't try to stop him since he's been too busy these past few days with his company. He's too stressed, and I know how he wants to spend quality time with me, but I prefer him with his friends."Why did you even try to have liquor in your body, Stella? What were you even thinking? This is the first time I've seen you like this; do you have a problem, sis?" I tried asking even though she's asleep like a princess.I squeeze her hand and hold it so close to my face.Sh
"Do you understand me, Lucas? I'll try to forget my feelings for you. But this issue shouldn't be walking to my sister's ears. I don't know anymore how I will talk to you like those normal days, and so on to her. I badly need time for this. I can't take the consequences right now; it's hard to absurb. You know what I mean, right?"I let out a breath and nodded. I understand what she wants us to do. I don't want to add fuel and set it on fire. It just didn't make any sense at all, but somehow there's something in the back of my mind saying that Stacey should know this kind of thing. After all, she's involved here somehow. But on the other hand, I can't take the act first; it must be Stella's wish."But we can't hide it for too long, Stella, just to remind you," I told her.She nodded. "I knew that; I was so ready to tell her, but then I was shocked and at the same time I was hurt seeing your scene with her inside of her office. I need her time; I want to talk to her because guilt was
Lucas's Point of View:I was let out of my words when I saw her pined post. Was it me? I immediately shook my head. Maybe it was Ethan.I sighed and checked the date when she shared it. And my, I can't help but just close my eyes."This isn't me. Probably she was referring to someone else. Yes, right. It must be someone else." I tried to convince myself.I close my phone and let it slide to my side. I can't think properly because of her account, where she shared tons of things about loving someone, but on the other hand, it's heartbreaking.I will convince myself that she's not referring to me. But I was also having a craziness of mind when I knew for sure that she wasn't friendly to others, like she is right now with Ethan.The post was shared about a month ago, before she and Ethan met and before our vacation. I am the only one who's been with her for the longest time. Should I say it was really pretty? Damn it.I was out of consciousness when I suddenly heard a noise inside my room
Lucas's Point of View:As soon as I drove away from Stacey's place, I started to call my friend. I gave him what he needed to find my girlfriend's sister right now. I saw how Stacey worried sickly for her younger sister. Of course I am too. Stella was so precious to me. Those times that I and her sister couldn't handle our friendship, she was the one who was trying to fix the damage between her sister and I. She's our bridge.But somehow, since we went back from our vacation, she's been avoiding her sister and me. She's okay with the others'. She even made a friend there, and she's had that guy until now. She is okay with her parents, her younger brother, and even my friends and Stacey's friends too. But with the both of us, I don't know what to name it.She's been very distant. Stacey burst out with what she felt towards what her sister was trying to do. She just doesn't have the strength to ask her because she thinks that maybe she's overreacting to something that's supposed to be n
