We met a few more time because she always cry whenever she calls me and we always end up doing the things that we shouldn’t do until I’m the one who come to see Shine.

“You’ll be late in your class, Dr. Red.” Air joked on. I just smiled. “You just saw Rackie, you have this glow on your face.”
“Stop teasing me, Air.” I said smiling.
“I heard that there are a lot of guys who wants to court, Rackie from different departments.”
I suddenly stopped from taking my things and looked at him. “She’s single?” I asked.
He laughed. “Don’t act you don’t know…”
“I really don’t know.” I reply.
"Well yes, single but not available I think… that’s your fault for hurting her. Now, she doesn’t want to fall in love again.”
“You make me remember again… I regret it the most until now.”
“Bro, do you still love her?”
He smiled; this is what I’m waiting for. “Whoa! Thank you and there’s someone who did what Rackie didn’t do!” He’s laughing while saying that then he suddenly became serious and stood up straight. “Man, you deserved that slap!”"I know, I know! Air, do you have to torture me? I'm dying already and instead of comforting me and tend my wound; you only put an alcohol to torture me." I really want to cry aloud from the pain.He looked at me with disgust. “I can’t comfort you, man it’s okay but what you did isn’t okay. You hurt her and you made her feel she’s the bad guy.” He sat next to me and sigh, he brush off his hands to his face then pulled his own hair. “Man, I think you need to know this.” He stared at me. “You cry like a girl! Are you male? I mean unlike her, she looks better than you.”"What do you mean?"He heave a long sigh first then tap my shoulder. “She doesn’t look betrayed. Okay, in other words,
What am I doing to do? Should I ignore her or not? They are not together for years besides Red is happy with Rackie so it should be okay however it is really okay? She’s my best buddy’s ex-girlfriend. I can’t say it to Air, I’m sure I’ll hear some sermon from him who seem to have a frustrated dream to be a priest. I can’t say it to Sapience, that guy will laugh at me and I can’t say it to Radiance because he’s the ex-boyfriend of Shine.Haist! What did I get into? Why did I fell in love with my friend’s ex-girlfriend? Now, I’m problematic how will I date her, how will I go out with her without us being noticed. It’s not that I’m ashamed when I’m with her, it’s just that I’m confused what will I do.“Love, what are you thinking?” Shine asks me which made me go back to the reality."Sorry, what were you saying again?” I asked.“Won’t you be disappointed if you knew that—”“No!” I irrit
I nod. “You, what are you doing here?”“Oh… I’m going to teach here, too.”I stared at her. “Full time?”“No, two or three classes only.” She replied. I nod. “What do you teach?”“Secondary.” I replied shortly then stare at her again. “Why?”"Secondary... why are you in the building of college students?”"Uh… I went to look for my sibling.” I replied then look at my wristwatch. “I have to go now, I have class.”“Okay, I’m about to go too.” She said then waved at me.Honestly, after that meeting, I can’t help but to think of her until we always see each other, I fetch her to their house.”*“Hey! Let’s go home, I need to cook for mother.” She said waking me up from reminiscing.“Can’t we just stay for a while?” I said sweetly. It’s not that I don’t care about her mother but it’s just for a while, j
"You are the only heir of this family, Doodle! Don't disappoint us." This is my parents’ line always, even my grandparents’ from both sides.There are many people who’s envious about my life but what they don’t know it’s suffocating. I don’t have any sibling or cousin because my parents are only child. When I was a child, I obey all they say because that’s what I think is good but one day, all of those thoughts were gone.“We have to find the suitable bride for our son.” I heard my dad said.“I agree, as early as now so they can meet each other.” Mom replied excitedly. After that day, I never saw them and heard any news because I left the house.“Hey! Hurry up!” Capee yelled.It’s been years since she helped me from hiding to my parents even though she doesn’t know who I really am. “Yeah, yeah…” I replied. She’s the only one who’s excited to come school.“By the way, did
I stared at her. I talk to long from that long explanation and still she doesn’t get it. “Let’s have a break first.” I said. “You’re just hungry, snacks time was the last meal we ate.” I said. I’m annoyed but I have to prolong my patience, this is just hunger. I looked at the wallclock. “It’s already 8 o’clock.” I commented. “I’ll just cook our food for dinner, you study that.” I said then left and didn’t turn to look at her. Number eight. 8 o’clock. I shook my head. “She should have said that she’s hungry.” I whispered onto myself.“Are you not done?” she asks.“Come here.” I commanded. I won’t go there to serve her, she have to come here and the food won’t come to her.“You made me come here but the food isn’t ready.” She unkindly commented.“It’s about to. How about helping me? Go and get some rice for the both of us, you’ll never know after you put the plates on the table this is done.”
What a shocking news I've heard over the phone made me decide to abandon my dream here in Italy. My young brother is sick and he needs us more than anyone does. Before I flew away from my country, he’s an energetic kid who waves at me bidding his farewell with his smile on his face as he send me to the airport."Sister, when you come back please bring a robot or a car for me, hmm?" he happily said.I was taken aback and sadness overwhelmed me when I saw him lying on the bed with a lot of apparatus’ on his small body. I close my eyes and ask why? It seems like someone robbed his energy and happiness. He lost weight and you will never see the happy kid he used to be."Why don't you come in?" Flood asks.I shook my head and I can’t help my tears to drop. “I can’t face him right now, I need to gather my courage first.” I replied."Hmm..." that’s the only thing I heard from Flood then car
"The first time my brother was admitted." I replied."Oh, yeah!" he said then nods. "As I've mentioned earlier, Storm is smiling when he was admitted here, he doesn't even bother whether he have some apparatus all over his body that time, even in pain he's still smiling but everything changed one morning when we, his doctors decided to not let him go, whenever he needs to go to the comfort room." He sadly said. "The thing is, we can't just remove all the things that were on his body every now and then so, we informed him to use diaper.""What's the relevance of the diaper on his situation right now?" I asked with confusion.“He doesn’t want to wear diapers. He have gone wild, we don’t have any choice that very moment even if we don’t want to do it, we were force to hold him and tied his arms and feet then let your father put the diaper on him. He was crying and even though we want to do his request, we didn’t listen to his ple
“Ma’am, is it one whole sheet of paper?” one of my students asks.If I were an anime character, I have this veins that is popping out of my forehead and fist right now. “Can you read what is written in the board, please…” I said while I’m busy reading their essay that they just passed. After Abstract went missing, I can’t focus. Allie is always coming in the house to give us some news, and few other friends of her come to the house that we just knew and barely knew. The owner of the car shop where we were asking for repair is always coming too. We were very shocked when we found out that Ackie was a car racer before that was why she was able to save for her to study medicine. It’s been a year now since she went missing but still we don’t have any news. Our mother is worried and even if our father doesn’t show it, we knew that he’s also worried. Mother has been sleeping in Ackie’s rooms for months now. The bell rang and all of the students knew that it was the time
I am happy that I am finally able to come back at work even though Master said several times that I can just stay in the house and he can manage the bills. It’s not that I don’t want to be with the twins... but I don’t want to waste the moments I worked for and the life threatening work I’ve done just to finish my medicine school. Thankfully, the hospital hired me again even though these Wilton brothers don’t want me to work, maybe they were influenced by Master.I’m glad that within the three years of not working as a doctor, my story Cataclysm is successful and since I have a conflict with the schedule of my book signing and my schedule here in the hospital I chose to do my rounds and didn’t show myself to my readers who will surely be surprise. Up until now Storm is upset because I married Master, he even cried before I came back to work because I was admitted again. I’m sorry, okay? I just can’t help but to feed the adrenaline rush and being a daredevil is wit
I walk towards him and slap the back of his head. “Don’t shout, I’m just regaining my energy but I’m not deaf.” I said irritably. “If you aren’t sure then do a paternity test, a DNA will prove it.” "How? I mean, it’s been years since that happened.” He said.“I don’t know, I’m also confused but they are the evidence. Look at the other baby you have the same face.” I said referring the baby girl.He walks towards the baby girl who’s now sleeping. He look at me with full of surprise. “I think, we don’t need to do the paternity test because she really looks like me, more on my mini me but I need an explanation.” He said smiling up until his ears."An explanation is all we need." I said. I turned my back on him then carried the baby boy and sat on the bed because my knees are shaking.
"What do you mean you didn't father my what?" I ask full of confusion."Tell them I’m not the father of your children.” He begs as if he was about to cry. I crook my forehead. I don’t understand what Solar is saying until what happened flashback.*I felt the car stopped. “Abbie, don’t play a prank!” he shout then turn to look at me. “I’m already in panic…” he suddenly turns pale when he notices something between my thighs.I felt the car move again, my eyes are close then my stomach aches again while I feel something is moving between my thighs and I can hear a baby crying. I felt that Solar near my feet, I want to look at him but I can’t open my eyes from the tiredness and severe pain. “Abbie, do what you d
"Dad, calm down." That’s the only thing I’ve said to Dad. After she sent Capee and my nephew to the hospital, I’ll be his target. Brother Wolf and I became close after I saw him crying outside the house."How can I calm down? First, he doesn’t have anything to do with you to involve you. How am I going to face your grandma now?”"Dad, they aren’t mad at you, okay? They got worried after the found out our situation here.” I explained. “I already explained to them so you don’t need to hysterical and do your sermon. I’m okay, I wasn’t harmed.” I said. “By the way, can I visit Sketch?” I hesitantly ask. He looks at me. “Dad, this is the day he will be discharged to the hospital.”He sighs. “Okay, call me when you’re coming home. I’ll fetch you.”I smiled. “I will.”&n
"Dad, please..." I beg while crying.“I won’t let slip it like that! He put you in danger!” Dad said almost raising his voice."Mom..." I said asking for help.“Love, can we just—”“I can’t! That son of yours has a lot of mess involved with and even involved my daughter!” Dad shouts that’s heard to all the corners of the house.Mom shuts her eyes. We’re arguing again and I can’t blame dad because whenever he shouts it’s because of big brother Wolf. I’m mad of what he have done to Doodle by commanding someone to push him in the cliff but I’m also worried about him. Doodle is now okay. He’s still in the hospital and being monitored from the injuries he had. I’m so thankful to that Rackie who’s a doctor and who always save Doodle. Right now, Doodle doesn’t want to talk t
He smiles. "This is my house." He said.I look at the clinic and turn to look at him. “Are you serious?”“Do I look like I’m joking?” he asks. I shook my head.*“Your wounds are healed.” He said. “Your strain bones are about to heal.” He added. “Are you sure you don’t want to let them know that you are safe?”“It’s okay so that they won’t see me like this.”He chuckled. “How about the other guy… I mean, aren’t you afraid that if you show now he’ll also show himself again?"Nope. I’m not afraid of him. What I’m frightened about is the reaction of my family.” I replied.“Until when are you going to stay here?” he asks.“Are you driving me out?” I ask.He chuckled. “No, my point is… I want to have a nice and long sleep because I don’t have a better rest because of you.”"Sorry and can you please don
I shout from the pain that I felt my arm got dislocated. “I got you, Doodle. I got you.” I said wincing.“Rackie, let go of me.” Doodle said.“What’s that drama for, Dood? After I sacrificed my arm for you, I’ll just let you go? No way!”“Rackie, I can’t hold on anymore, save those dramas later!” Sketch said irritably."God knows I'm trying to pull this dramatic actor here!" I replied. I used my other hand to pull him up which is the one that use for me not to fall but now I’m using my knees as support for me not to totally fall from the cliff. I was able to pull him up but suddenly the root that Sketch was holding on stretched out. “Doodle, there’s no time for you to rest.” I command. Doodle hold my feet and I slide down to reach for Sketch. “Dood, let go.” I said. “I’ll pull Sketch up then help him to climb up there.” Why does Sketch is heavy? I mean, Doodle is heavy but Sketch is heavier than Doodle
“Have you heard the news about Dr. Rackie?” I heard from the nurses.“Uh... she fell down from the cliff?” one of them asks.“No, she gave birth.”“Wait! How will she give birth, the moment someone admit her here there’s no sign of pregnancy.”“Oh, yes! I heard it... Dr. Rackie gave birth.”I shook my head. “Stop those gossips.” I said. “We have conference today. After your duty we will all go to the conference room.” I reminded them. Honestly, the event was stressful, Dr. Rackie is admitted for a few more days to monitor her well even though she’s really okay. I really don’t understand why she’s still staying wherein she’s totally fine now. Dr. Wiltons were really a worrywart people.I stood up to check Dr. Rackie again. Her case is too confident
“What happened to your big brother?” Papa said that almost make us deaf. “Why did he do should a shameful thing that made our family look shameless?”Mama is closing her eyes from the loud voice of Papa. I really don’t know what really happened to my big brother but there’s one thing that I have in my mind, he’s hurt and still wounded for what happened to his happy family. At the age of 10, he’s abandoned by his both parents after the separation and have their own family, he was left alone, have a house but never a home he can call his own, have a mother and a father but never a whole family that he used to have."Pa, will you stop shouting?" I plead but the truth I also want to raise my voice; he’s asking us wherein he’s the reason why my big brother have that kind of mindset."I'm sorry, sweetie. I just can’t help it.” He said. When it comes to us, he’s attitude change."He's just protective and in love, t
