Laughters?Looking at the door, Edmin seemed to be a statue. Someone is laughing. And none other than Charm. The daughter had her back turned in her direction but the laughter was enough for her to see the look on her face.Angel Zachriel, however, was facing her direction. She can only say one thing. Her dad was right. He was a young man. He must be younger than her by six years. And she was sure that the man was the reason why her daughter was laughing. Charm's little laughter brought warmth inside her.When was the last time Charm laughed like that? Perhaps the more correct question is whether her daughter has ever laughed like that.Her chest tightened when Angel Zachriel noticed her. Their eyes met. She didn't know why there was some kind of feeling that dimmed her entire being. It was so overpowering it made her catatonic. She clenched her hands.Zachriel looked away. look at myCharm . It seems to be saying something.Her daughter immediately turned to me. "Mommy!" it shouted.
Edmigard was bored when she left the workshop. It was a medium-sized warehouse and it was also just inside the land covered by their home. She was messed up earlier. She was sure she saw their guest peeking through the window. She was in the middle of molding a new design idea. But she lost focus and it was ruined. What she really doesn't like is watching her while she works in the warehouse. For her it was private. She felt Zachriel's gaze. She didn't know how. It was a fleeting moment. But she felt the man's gaze stinging.She entered the house while calling Aling Marcha. The old woman came out from the kitchen."What is that, Edmin?" "Where is your... Zachriel?" "Ah, Zach? I'm not sure. Earlier it was like..I guess walking around. Try to look behind."Edmin nodded. He passed through the kitchen towards the back garden. Zachriel was there. But the man is not alone. It sits on the garden set with Charm."Do you need something?" Zachriel asked casually, "There is. I want to say som
Is there a problem, Edmingard?" His mommy asked. She nodded. In a quick explanation he recounted the circumstance. "Zachriel is the only one you should take with you. He will definitely agree. Unless, you still don't trust him. I could be the only one to go with you," said his daddy. Between Zachriel and her father, Edmin would choose her daddy ten times more. But he did not want to consider the father's health. It seems that he has no other choice but to take Zachriel with him. If the man agrees. "That will allow," said her daddy as if he could read her thoughts. He called Manang Marcha who immediately entered the dining room. "Please call Zachriel. I just have a favor to ask." Manang Marcha quickly obeyed. When the old woman returned, Zachriel was with him. "Do you need something, Mr. Toledo?" Edmin didn't know whether to laugh or not. Zachriel's tone was not so formal but his way of speaking was different. She still remembers him calling her daddy a sir. It's natural for Zach
"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
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
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,
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 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
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
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
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
