He does not have any sleep at all. He does not mind the tiredness after a long night. He was there in the place where his wife met with an accident. The rescuers are having difficulty because his wife’s car fell down a cliff.
He is not a man of prayers but that day he can’t count how many times he prayed already begging Him to save his wife.
She is his life. He does not want to think that his wife will leave him this way. He does not know how to live without her.
“Sir, we recovered the body and we saw this necklace down there.” Said one of the rescuers.
He froze when he recognized that necklace he gave to his wife as a gift. It's his wife's crucifix gold necklace! All of a sudden he felt so numb when he saw the dead body. He cannot even recognize the body because it was burnt!
Automatically his tears rolled down his face. He can’t accept that his wife left him already. Is he being punished by God? No! This is just a bad dream! His wife cannot leave him. This is not real! His wife is not dead!
But once again he felt those tears roll down his face. Why does it seem like God does not want him to be happy? They were just leaving happily for almost one year. And in this one year, he tried his best to be a good man, a good husband and a good father. One year full of happiness and love but now everything was taken away from him.
How could he face life without his loving wife? And how could he start nursing their twins when his other half left him already?
"MOM, I'm okay, I landed safe and sound." Wevz made it sure to her mom. Oh! Her parents are really like this, they are too concerned about her. Most especially her mother."Okay, take good care baby and always keep us up to date okay? I love you." Her mother told her.She sighed deeply. "Okay mom, bye, love you too." When she was able to say goodbye properly to her mother, she immediately called her friend Gia. But she is not answering her phone.She looked everywhere at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. She needs to ask where the nearest mall is because she’s not bringing lots of clothes. She will just buy in the mall while waiting for her friend.According to her mom, they once resided in the Philippines. Besides, this is her land of birth. But 5 years ago her
“HEY! GIRL! I am talking to you! I thought you were hungry? Why aren’t you touching your food?” She got back to her senses when Gia shook her shoulder. She still can't get over from what happened a while back. She felt really embarrassed! “What happened to you? You were not molested by the man following you right?” Gia continuously probes. She actually lied to her. She just told her that she was able to escape from the man. Her friend was really concerned about her. “I told you, I was able to escape.” She told her. “Anyway, you don’t have to find a hotel. I ask permission to Tita Emz and to my cousin. You can live in the same house where I am living!” Gia announced excitedly. And because of that, Gia got all her attention. “Wow! Really?” This is really a big help for her. But at the same time she felt shy. “Is it really okay with them?” She asked her, a little bit shy. “Don’t worry. They are really kind, most especially Tita Emz. Well, my cousin is also kind, it’s just not obv
WEVZ WAS SO GRATEFUL that the room that Gia gave her was an attached bathroom. And once she was done taking a bath, she went outside the bathroom only to find out that her friend was lying on the bed and it seems that she is really waiting for her.Their agreement was, she will just take a bath and she will tell her the whole story why suddenly he thought that her cousin was stalking her. Oh! She really does not want to share it with her because she felt so ashamed of doing so but she does not have any choice. She knows how persistent Gia can get.“Now tell me. Tell me the whole story and the truth before I will introduce you to the helpers here in the mansion.” Gia told her.She really does not have any choice. She made a face and sat on one side of the bed. And then she told her everything
"WOW! GOOD JOB!" Wevz really enjoyed it while the twins kept on showing her their artworks from school.The twins asked her to come inside their room. It was actually on the second floor of the mansion as well. They were with Lily - she was the one taking care of the twins in the mansion.“Miss Wevz, it’s really nice to see that they really like you.” Said Lily.“Haven't I told you Lily? Remove the ‘Miss’, just call me Wevz.” She told her while smiling.She saw that she became a little bit uncomfortable. “Sorry, I don’t think that I will be used to that.” Lily replied."Can you tell us more about snow later?" Thea asked her.
WEVZ CLEARED her mouth first before talking. "Five years ago we migrated to Canada. This is because I got into an accident which caused me to be in a coma for 3 months."Wevz heard Mrs. Fontanilla gasped as she started sharing her life story."The moment I woke up, I didn't even remember my name." She smiled sadly as she remembered that day."It's okay hija. I understand if you don’t want to continue anymore." Mrs. Fontanilla said. She was being so understandable.She smiled. "It’s okay Auntie, I want to share it with you anyway. You welcomed me in your house wholeheartedly, I think it’s just fair to share my life story with you."Mrs. Fontanilla nodded and smiled at her. Part of her wants to share her
SYKE CAN’T HELP but feel sad upon hearing his son asking Wevz a while back about how it feels to have a mother. Even his daughter, evidently his children were longing for a motherly care. He was about to check on them but he heard them talking with their visitor. That's why he stopped outside their room door. But he was able to open the door a little bit, then he saw how comfortable his children were lying on Wevz’ lap. The three are all in their pajamas and there was something that touched his heart while staring at them. This is how exactly he pictures his wife with their kids if she is just alive right now. Then he looks at Wevz, he can see how genuinely she cares for his children. Maybe it’s really true that she loves children, just like his late wife. He does not want to think about it but he can
IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE Wevz left his office but it seems that he is still out of his senses.“Life is beautiful, don’t hide your smiles. Don’t be selfish with your smiles.”He recalled what she said before she left his office. But in his memory, it’s not Wevz who was saying that. It was Maridel, his late wife. The way she delivered it, even the voice was exactly the same!“Chief Grumpy...” He heard that once from his late wife as well. During those times she was just his secretary.He pulled his hair using his fingers. Even the way Wevz said ‘This beautiful face?’ and ‘If you are right then fight for it’, those are just a few lines of his late wife.
"S-SUPERMAN? What are you doing there?!"Syke does not know if he will laugh or feel bad upon hearing Wevz ask him that. He glared at her because he could feel the pain on the lower part of his waist. He was not prepared when Wevz suddenly pushed him away and that cause him to be out of balance. And it seems that it’s not good at all. He tried to stand but he felt a searing pain upon using his force and that caused him to remain on the floor.He saw Wevz immediately walk towards him for help. And just like a while back, he can’t help inhaling sharply when he smells that familiar scent. It’s the natural scent of her wife!“Oh! Gosh! I’m so sorry Boss Chief! I really thought you were a ghost!” She said while helping him to stand.He doub
WHEN WEVZ SAW how the twins were enjoying playing with other kids in the orphanage and Syke was so busy talking to some people there, she decided to roam around.She stopped when she saw a small fountain in the middle of those beautiful flowers. She went there to see the fountain and flowers closer, and she was smiling while looking at that scenery. “It’s so beautiful, right?”She turned to see who was the owner of that voice. And she saw Sister Milagrros standing not far from her.“Yes, indeed, it’s beautiful.” She agreed to the nun and brought back her attention to the fountain.She felt that the Sister moved closer to where she was. “Do we really look alike? I mean M-Maridel?” Those questions just came naturally from her.There was a moment of silence before she heard Sister Milagros.“You have the same voice. You have the same smile that plasters your lips every time. And you have the same color of eyes.” Then Sister Milagros went in front of her and looked at her intently.“Yo
"GET READY. We will fetch the twins today."Wevz attention was not on what Syke just said. She was thinking about his last words in the swimming pool yesterday before he walked away.“We look better together.” Those words are being repeated in her mind.Does he mean something? Does Syke like her? Why does this have to be difficult? Because this man is really confusing her! Sometimes he was so grumpy but then sometimes sweet. Or maybe the only reason why he kept on kissing her was because he was just seeing his late wife in her! But isn’t he say that he kissed her because she is Wevz? Oh! These thoughts are causing her headaches! “Oh! Why is this so confusing!” Wevz blurted out without even thinking.“What? What is confusing?” Syke asked in his formal tone of voice.“Do you have bipolar disorder?” She asked instead of answering his question. She saw his eyebrows furrowed. “Ah! Never mind!” She exclaimed and she was about to turn her back on him when she heard his voice.“Aren’t you
WEVZ WAS JUST watching the twins playing with the water in the pool with Syke. They were currently splattering some water towards their Dad and she can see how happy they were.“Oh! Your beauty is extraordinary my dear friend,” Gia said and sat beside her. “I haven’t seen my cousin having this kind of bonding with his children even at once. Well, I do know that he loves the twins but he is always the prim and proper type whenever he talks to them.” Her friend continued.Wevz shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe, he just realized that this is what his children need.” She said simply.“Oh! I doubt that! See how he can smile and even laugh more often! Oh! You are so beautiful my friend!” Gia teased.“Tsk! Can you stop that?” She replied but smiling.“Oh! Look at you, wushu! Trying to hide it my dear friend? I think you are my cousin’s dose of medicine.” Her friend continues to tease her.“Ssshhh! Can you stop? He is just there and if he will hear you, what will he think?” She rebuked her. “
WEVZ DOES NOT know how to face Syke after what happened last night. In fact, she had some trouble sleeping last night because of the passionate kiss that they shared! And what irritates her is the fact that the only reason why Syke kissed her last night was that he was seeing his late wife in her.Wevz took a peek from her bedroom door and when she saw Syke from a distance and it seemed that he was so busy talking on the phone, she immediately closed the door.She waited for two minutes before she opened the door again. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that there were no signs of people outside. She even double-checked from left to right and consistently looked around. She can pass as a secret agent the way she acts right now!“What are you doing?” She breathed another sigh of relief when she found out who owns that voice.“Nothing. Nothing at all. I’m just trying to initiate some secret agents.” Wevz replied to Gia and smiled widely. “Honestly? You look more like a
HER WHOLE BODY was aching when she got into her senses. But when she saw her reflection on the broken side mirror of the car, she saw someone’s face. That’s not her for sure. That was the beautiful woman that was always in her dreams. The beautiful woman was struggling and blood was all over her face and body. She looked at the other woman beside her. She tried her best to wake the woman up. The woman, on the other hand, moaned with pain and murmured something while her eyes were still closed. It seems that the woman was trying to fight all the pain. There was also blood all over her face and body.“My son… My son…” The woman whispered repeatedly.It seems that the beautiful woman was trying her best to check what she could do. She used all her strength to open the car.“Come! We need to get out of here.” She said weakly to the woman. “Save yourself. My son… please take care of my son… please…” The woman said while looking at her half-body stuck in the crashed car.“I will ask for he
SYKE WAS STILL not into his senses. He is currently thinking about what just happened? He should be the one irritated by Wevz and she should be the one asking for an apology. But since the woman talked too fast, it seems that he was tricked! And in the end, it seems that this whole thing was his own fault. He should be more irritated with Wevz, but truth be told, he actually feels the opposite. He was more amazed and just scratched the back of his head while smiling. This woman is really one of a kind! “Just like Maridel?” Said that small voice in his mind. He shook his head. He should stop comparing Wevz to his late wife. He decided to open the refrigerator and suddenly he wants to regret doing that. He saw a slice of carrot cake that Wevz baked! He does not know why he suddenly craved for it! Well, it’s been a while since the last time he actually ate a carrot cake. He wants to taste it. Just a little. Just a taste. Syke checked his surroundings. It’s a good thing that he was
SYKE DOES NOT know why he is feeling this way. Suddenly he got annoyed with Wevz and the worst part is, he extended that irritation to his children. It seems that the twins would really like to taste the carrot cake that she baked. And he does not know why of all the cakes she can bake, why she chose to bake a carrot cake!Carrot cake brings back certain memories to him. That’s why he does not want to eat carrot cakes anymore after his wife's death. Carrot cake is his favorite cake. And knowing that it is his favorite, Maridel took an effort to bake it with her own recipe. His late wife studied how to bake it and he will never forget the happiness on her face when he said that her carrot cake was the best cake he ever tasted.“Oh really? Are you sure that the carrot cake is the only reason?” Said that little voice from his mind.His forehead creased. Because if truth be told, yes it’s not only the carrot cake why he was giving Wevz a cold treatment. And he is more annoyed with himself
WEVZ IS CURRENTLY staring at the twins while they are sleeping. It fascinates her just watching them. Syke is also still sleeping.Something touches her heart because of what she is seeing right now. Still, she can’t explain why there was this longingness in her heart. When she felt her eyes suddenly become hot and her vision became clouded, she blinked many times to prevent her tears.She decided to go down to the kitchen and bake a carrot cake. She left a note for Syke to call her just in case he will be needing assistance once he woke up. She also told him that she is just in the kitchen.She saw Aling Bebeng and Manang Fe in the kitchen. It seems that they are already preparing breakfast.“Good morning!” Wevz greeted them happily.
WEVZ DOESN'T know what to feel while she is lying down on Syke’s spacious bed. Whoever will see them now will surely think that they are a happy family. The twins were in the middle while Syke and her were on both sides of the bed. She is lying next to Thea while Syke is lying next to Enzo. Syke is currently looking for a movie that they will watch.Wevz can’t hide the fact that she really loves this feeling. Being a mother to the twins. But it seems that there was also that feeling of hope to be Syke’s wife?“Oh! What am I thinking?” She told herself."What is it, tita pretty?"That’s when she realized that she was able to voice it out and it seems that Thea heard her.When she
