WHY do you seem pale, Edmingard?" From eating, Edmin looked up at her daddy. She moved her eyes to his father and mother. Concern can be seen on the parents' faces. She forced a smile. She wasn't living in her parents' house anymore. It's been almost a month."I'm just tired from the amount of things I'm taking care of." Silence passed again. Only the sound of cutlery could be heard. Once again it was Edmin's daddy who broke it."Did someone come between you and Zachriel, Edmingard?" Edmin almost choked. He drank a lot of water. "What kind of question is that, Dad?" Remembering Zachriel, a sadness passed through his chest, although only for a moment."He came with you and Charm for a few days. You said it was at your beach house with Mignus atZambales. He never came back. I can't think of any other reason, well, aside from the fact that that's the only day he told us to stay here. I don't suspect him badly. He was a good man after all." Her father smiled. "Your mommy just said that
EPILOGUEWHILE looking down at the plateau, a small smile appeared on the Leader's lips. It seems to see something interesting from there. One of the angels, Van, couldn't stop himself from commenting."Does this have something to do with the angels who preferred to return to the mortal world as humans?" The Chief turned. "Why did you say that? that, Van?""I'm not sure. Is there another reason why you're smiling, Leader?""Maybe there is, maybe there isn't," was his figurative reply. Attention was again turned to the bottom of the plateau.When the Ruler is on that side and looks down it sees every desire below where the abode of mortals is.Van was one of the first angels to angel. The time he spent in Celes was probably not only a hundred years. He is also the highest of all the angels. But despite all that he still could not fully understand the Leader Guardian. Why it makes the decisions it makes. Ifwhy does it give a second chance. "If you really want to know why don't you a
"You all know the reason why I called you here. The time you've been waiting for has arrived. This is the last test for you to become a full archangel. Not everyone is given this opportunity so I hope you don't waste it ."No one spoke or moved, they were all focused and eager to hear what the Leader Watchman had to say next. The hundreds of angels who wanted to be archangels at the beginning of the trial were only a few.In Emman's case, he had no fear that he might not be able to overcome it. He is sure he can overcome any challenge. And at that moment he already considered himself an absolute archangel.Emman looked around inside Celes that was the name of the place before he came, A vast and very bright place where they fixed angels. The Leader Warden presides over that area. It is also the most powerful. among them all angels, and this was the only creature in that place that did not possess wings. Why he did not know.Ever since Emman came to that place, his appearance has been
Jean stretched when only two of her friend Jaylyn were left inside her Bakery store. She had a headache because of the time spent talking to those who wanted to invest in them.When she looked at her friend Jaylyn, she was retouching her face as you thought his make up had been reduced during their conversation even though she didn't even shake her head."What do you think, will they invest in us?" I asked Jaylyn."I hope they won't be disappointed with you and how can they invest in your face you are frowning as if you just broke up with your boyfriend. You don't even smile, try to smile especially when someone offers to invest in us."I rolled my eyes."Well, why do I have to smile at them? Is it through my smile that they will base their investment? Is it a problem if I don't smile at them?"The people they were talking to earlier with my friend slash assistant Jaylyn were Taiwanese people who wanted to invest in my Bakery slash Restaurant. They said they intend to expand it. They
She automatically raised one hand to his chest. She closed her eyes when she felt the necklace hanging around her neck and when she felt a strong wind blowing and she opened her eyes because the wind was different compared to before.She just ignored the feeling of nervousness from the wind and continued walking when she was suddenly stopped. She saw something like a body. It was a bit far from where she was standing, but she could be sure that it was a man's body. She was about to take a step to approach it but she suddenly stopped.What if it's a human body? Jean thought about leaving that place but she couldn't put her foot down. Her emotions were debating whether she should look or not.She clenched her hand and took a deep breath before she decided to approach that person.And when she got close she bent down to see the man's face but she couldn't see very well because she was on his knees.She decided to wake her up, her hand still shaking when her palm touched her back."Sir, m
Jean breathed a sigh of relief when she reached the opposite of her office building at the Boardwalk Restaurant. She looked behind her and around. When she was sure that the man would not follow her, she entered the big building she shook her head and she took a deep breath. She speed up walking so she could get to her office right away. while she was going up to her office, she couldn't help but think why he was following her, he seems to be a smart person but why was he following me. Her office was still on the third floor and she was already crowded with the elevator that was about to shut down.When the elevator opened on the third floor, she went straight into her office. She was greeted by the employees who met her but she only nodded because in her haste she had a scheduled meeting at two o'clock today with managers in different departments and she still had to finish something before the meeting started.As soon as Jean entered her office, Jaylyn immediately went to her. She k
In the end, Jean followed her friend after a few minutes of staring at her. She must have felt that her decision will not change.When Jaylyn finally left, Jean went to her office. She still has some papers to sign before she goes home. She usually reaches her office very early in the morning. But that's not a problem for her because her house is nearby.She studied the papers and signed them before she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes for a moment to relax. When she opened her eyes, she immediately looked at her watch, it was ten o'clock at night. She first arranged the things and then decided to leave her office.She was the only person in the office so there were some lights on and she decided to turn them off.When the elevator opened in the lobby she quickly got out of there but she was surprised to see a familiar image of a man in the reception area of the building. He was sitting so relaxed in one of the chairs that you thought he was familiar with that place. And
Ahhhh, No, no please stop that.Jean said loudly as she suddenly got up. "What a bad dream i have." she said She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She also got up from the bed so that she could relax completely. She poured water from the table near her bed. And after drinking she sat again on the edge of her bed. She touched her face and felt her cheek wet. surely she cries in her sleep. She took a deep breath, then decided to wipe the remaining tears from her cheeks.She dreamed just like that again, it had been a long time since she last dreamed. And when she looked at the time on the alarm clock she was surprised. It's going to be morning. She made her bed first, then left her room.Jean was going to the kitchen when she heard loud laughter. Her brow furrowed. She was sure that Ate Minda was her companion who was laughing. Apart from this, she has no other companions in the house. And she was sure she wasn't the only one laughing."Sister Minda... Sister Minda where are you

WHY do you seem pale, Edmingard?" From eating, Edmin looked up at her daddy. She moved her eyes to his father and mother. Concern can be seen on the parents' faces. She forced a smile.

Only the sound of cutlery could be heard. Once again it was Edmin's daddy who broke it."Did someone come between you and Zachriel, Edmingard?" Edmin almost choked. He drank a lot of water. "What kind of question is that, Dad?" Remembering Zachriel, a sadness passed through his chest, although only for a moment."He came with you and Charm for a few days. You said it was at your beach house with Mignus atZambales. He never came back. I can't think of any other reason, well, aside from the fact that that's the only day he told us to stay here. I don't suspect him badly. He was a good man after all." Her father smiled. "Your mommy just said that
IT IS the final day.Zachriel was the first thing that came to Edmin's mind when she opened her eyes. Her gaze shifted from the ceiling to her right. Her and Zachriel's eyes met immediately. His warm eyes were softly looking at her. When her husband smiled, she smiled too."Good morning," he said to which she responded the same way.Zachriel bowed. She leaned forward and kissed her. First on the temple, next to her brows and then to her cheeks.That's when Charm acted like she was waking up. Zachriel immediately kissed her daughter on the forehead. Charm just changed position. It continued to sleep.Zachriel kept staring at Edmin. She was beautiful beyond words. Because of that, a knife hit his finger while he was cutting an onion.She took a breath and stared dumbly at the fingerbeginning to bleed. It turns out that not only his memories as a human returned. Even to feel emotionalman or physical illness returned. Edmin attended him immediately. "Are you okay?" it asked. She pulled
Edmin, Zachriel and Charm Spent the whole day cleaning the beach house full of dust, smoke and insects. It seems like her father and daughter spent more time messing around than cleaning.After that they cooked and swam in the sea. That night, they slept side by side in one of the two rooms. Charm was in the middle of the couple. Just like a real family. It was painfully beautiful.Zachriel talked to Charm until the child fell asleep. And when the two of them were awake, they did nothing but stare at each other. Edmin will stare at Zachriel while their hands are clasped until sleepiness overtakes her.Eat, bathe, play and walk on the beach. That was their routine for the next three days.On the afternoon of the third day at the beach house, Zachriel carried Charm on his shoulders. Edmin's arms were wrapped around her husband's body while they were walking on the beach."Daddy, Mommy, when are we going to the beach with dolphins?" Charm asked enthusiastically.Edmin and Zachriel looked
Edmin did not know how to take everything she heard from Zachriel."I can go on. I can tell you about our days together. I'm Mignus. And I'm telling the truth, Edmin. I and Mignus are one."Right.And he was saying those with utmost conviction, with truth shimmering in his sad but determined eyes. If that wasn't the truth, he couldn't think of any other explanation for why he knew all that.In her heart, she wants to believe. She was really seeing Mignus in him. And the way he looked at Charm. The way he looked at her with anguish and longing. Was it really possible? Did he come back as an angel because he heard his cries in heaven? Because it knows his tears? Because it knows that he wants a second chance forcan he say goodbye?But if he was here right now, in flesh and blood, even with a different personality and face, Mignus is still Zachriel. Why should she say goodbye? The best thing to do was to hold onto him and never let him go. Because second chances were supposed to beseco
Edmin's DreamIT WAS a beautiful dream. Edmin felt like she was floating on a cloud. She had good-great news. She and Mignus are about to have a baby."Congratulations, Mrs. Salazar You're six weeks pregnant."Edmin's smile widened at what the ob-gyne said. He reached for her hand. "Thank you, Doc.He seemed to be stepping on a cloud when he left the clinic. He couldn't wait to tell Mignus everything. The husband just left last night. First thing in the morning is to get a checkup right awaywhat he did. Only now will he think of a nice surprise on how to reveal it to Mignus he is dying. Emma was in that meditation when her cell phone rang. She answered that thoughthe number is unfamiliar. She wished she hadn't taken the call. It was the worst joke of all. Before the person on the other line could elaborate everything, everything went completely dark for her.The light coming from outside penetrates through the glass window. When Edmin opened her eyes, her cheeks were wet with tears
Edmin woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. He didn't want to get up but she had no other choice. She has a choice. She can stay in his room and worry about people outside or she can pretend to be fine. Either way, she is the loser.She chose the latter.But before going out completely, Edmin's eyes caught the bouquet of roses and papers in the corner of the room. She drew in a violent breath. Taking them out of the room, she headed outside and placed them in a large trash can.Upon reentering the house, she went to the kitchen to make coffee. He caught Manang Marcha and Zachriel having breakfast. The old man immediately stood up. Their eyes met the man's. It was the first to look away."Good morning, Edmin. How are you feeling?" Manang Marcha asked."It's good," she answered. "And sit down and continue eating. I'll take care of myself.""Hi, join us for the meal." Edmin nodded before starting to move.She took a plate. Even if she doesn't want to eat, the smell of fried rice,
Three times after Edmingard left the workshop, Zachriel couldn't stop the rising of worry. That was increased when Manang Marcha repeated that alcohol is what Edmin keeps coming back to the house.Zachriel couldn't resist going to the warehouse. He feels anxious. He didn't know where that anxiety was coming from. He just wanted to see Edmin's condition.Like the first time he peeked through the window. He bent slightly to get a good look at Edmin's form. The woman's other hand is holding the mold while the other is holding a bottle. It drinks. Just by looking at it, he could see that it didn't do multitasking very well.Edmin dropped the bottle, probably drunk. Her face is already reda few strands of hair that had come loose from the ponytail were scattered. He was laughing despite Zachriel clearly seeing tears welling up in her eyes. It tried to pick up the broken pieces of the bow but only injured itself.When Zachriel saw the bleeding finger, something inside Zachriel tingled. Tha
"YOUR smile makes my heart race. You should smile often, my love." Those words had popped into Edmin’s mind countless times in the past few days. This is what her late husband Mignus often told her. Subsconsciously he knows you are triggered! of what Zachriel told her. Mignus words were almost the same as the man's words to her. Because of that, instead of being reassured, she completely avoided Zachriel. She hired new staff to help. She doesn't want Zachriel to end up as a business partner. Now she was sure why she was uncomfortable in the man's presence. It revives feelings and memories that he has buried in the deepest part of his being. They have been spending almost two weeks with Zachriel. Only two weeks left. It's quick. One morning Edmin's only brother called. His brother Jaice: His wife is said to have given birth. And of course, their parents should be there. That's not the only occasion. His brother's eldest son will also have a birthday. They should all go to the State
