“Busy? Seriously? What are we going to eat if I don’t work?! I’m looking for a way to give you time! Even though I’m very tired from work, I still cooked for you and Elizabeth. I’m still doing my responsibility as a mother and I am trying to be a good wife to you!”

“Well, do s*x matters to you a lot Daren?! Is married all about s*x for you? Do you want us to have s*x every day so that we can prove that we love each other? What is more important to you s*x or love... s*x or me?” I’m trying to calm down my voice because Elizabeth might hear me.

I don’t want her to know what kind of father she has!

“So, are you blaming me for everything? Are you saying I’m lazy? That I should work instead of you?!” he asks, raising his eyebrows at me.

“Yes! Because you are the man!! Every time I come home, you’re always playing video games! Aren’t you? You’re no longer a child for those things, Daren! The one who doesn’t have time is you, but I do try to understand you all the time. Didn’t you even think about our daughter before you did something like that?”

Didn’t you even think about me too?

“If you told me before that you didn’t love me, I wouldn’t force you! Remember that I’m not a dog who will follow you whenever you leave! I don’t care how many years we’ve been together and how many years we’ve loved each other. I don’t want to be stupid to someone like you!” I can’t stop myself from glaring at him.

“Then fine. Let’s get divorced! But I’ll take Elizabeth with me--“ I cut him off to speak because I immediately punched him in the cheek.

“Damn!”

“You?” I ask and smirk.

“You can’t keep an eye on her even if you’re just at home! Then you say you’ll take my daughter with you? I won’t allow you to take my child! You should kill me first before that happens.” I said coldly.

“She’s also my daughter Elyse!!”

Yeah, I know. I’m not stupid, dumb!

“I’ll let you visit Elizabeth. I’m going to stop you if you want to visit her, but you can’t take her away from me,” I muttered and wiped my tears on the cheek.

“Fine! I won’t force you!” he said, then started getting dressed. “And about the question you ask early. Yes! S*x is more important to me. I need it! A relationship won’t long last without having s*x with their partners, Elyse.”

“I’m not going to sleep here,” he murmurs before leaving.

That jerk! His face is thick! Those days when we’re not doing it... is he doing that to someone else? When did he start cheating on me!

“Then don’t! No one will be going to stop you jerk!”

We’ve known each other for 14 years,

we started being friends until he started courting me until I say yes to him.

We dreamed together, but then I got pregnant. I thought my life would just end up, that my life is already ruined because I got pregnant. But then I thought that the only thing that change is that I only got pregnant but it doesn’t mean I can’t keep going to school. That won’t stop me from graduating high school and college. Getting pregnant can’t stop me from achieving my dreams.

I achieved my dream to start my own company. But Daren gives up on his dreams and he chooses to stay at home and taking care of our child.

I was the only one who works instead of him.

I wiped away my tears and sighed. I suddenly remembered what my Mommy told me before.

‘A woman should never cry over a man. Because real man won’t make you cry, if that man loves you he won’t make you cry. If you’re going to cry, it’s not because he hurt you, it’s because he made you happy and that’s what they called tears of joy.’

For the first time, he made me cry, and he hurt me this much. He said he doesn’t love me anymore, then fine! I’m not going to waste my precious time on someone like him, he’s not worth it so, I shouldn’t be crying to that jerk... but I can’t help it, all those years that we’ve been together, I can’t just forget those memories because I want to. Brain can forget, but the heart doesn’t.

I just laughed when I remembered what he told to me before. He said that I’m the only girl he’ll love for the rest of his life. That he wouldn’t leave me, that he won’t ever cheat on me... but now ...all of that happens! He’s such a liar, f**king a jerk!

We’ve known each other for 14 years, we’ve been together for 12 years. I thought I already knew him very well, but I’m wrong. It doesn’t really matter how many years you’ve known each other or how many years you’ve been together with your partners. Because time comes that one of you will fall out of love.

Well, I don’t believe in forever... tsk, that’s a cap. The funniest word that I’ve ever heard. There’s no forever in this world. People die, plants die, animals die... even this world will end too.

You know, reality sucks. All you can do is enjoy your lives because I believe we only live once.

“Mommy? Are you crying?” I stop thinking and looked at my daughter.

“No, sweetheart. Mommy isn’t crying.”

I didn’t realize that tears were dripping from my eyes again, and she wiped them with her left thumb.

“Then, what’s this?” at the same time, she showed me her thumb.

“How was your school?” I ask, trying to change the topic.

“It was good, I got A+ again.” I smiled because of what she said. She’s a smart kid. She reminds me of myself before when I was still a kid like her. But unlike her, I don’t have toys. I can’t get what I want because my parents are poor.

“Very good, I’ll buy you a new toy tomorrow because you got A+.”

“I have so many toys already Mommy,” she said while her lips are pouting.

“What do you want me to buy then?”

She shrugged. “I don’t want you to buy anything. All I want is you, Mom.

Seeing you happy is enough for me...”

“Ha?”

“I just don’t want you to get hurt. If you don’t love Daddy anymore, then divorce him already. If you’re not happy, then leave him.” I was shocked by what she said.

Did she know anything? How?

“Elizabeth...”

“Yes, I am only 10 years old, Mom, to think like this already, but I’m smarter than you think. I understood everything that you’ve been through. I totally understand you.” My tears dripped even more because of what my daughter’s saying right now.

“Remember that you are not alone Mom, I’m always here, I won’t leave you.” She hugged me and wiped away my tears.

I’m lucky to have a daughter like her.

“I love you.” I kissed her on the cheek and just smiled as I stared at her face. I never regret that your daddy and I made love that day, you’re a gift from god.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?” I ask and wiped my tears. She nods at me.

I cooked her favorite food, adobo.

“Eat a lot so you don’t lose weight,” I muttered and smiled at her.

“Mommy, I always eat a lot. You’re the one who should eat a lot because you’re working to make money.” I chuckled. My daughter looks so cute every time she acts like that.

I turned my gaze to Yaya. “Yaya, have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet, Ma’am Elyse.”

“Come on, join us Yaya.”

_

I’m already in the bedroom and it’s 11 pm. I can’t sleep. I used to sleep next to someone, so I’m having a hard time now because Daren isn’t here.

He didn’t come home, that damn jerk! He didn’t even think of his daughter. It’s good that Elizabeth didn’t ask why her dad was not here.

I was surprised when there was a sudden knock on the door; I stood up and open it.

“Oh, it’s already late at night, sweetie. Why are you still awake?”

“Ahm--“

“Wait, are you hurt? Are you sick?” I checked her forehead if she’s hot or something.

“Mommy relax, I’m okay.” I took a deep breath.

Whenever my daughter gets sick, I am panicking. I’m just scared of losing her. She’s all I have...now.

“So, why are you here, then?”

“I can’t sleep, because I know you can’t sleep easily when you’re not next to someone.” I just smiled because of her behavior lately. She acts matured these days. Nobody would think that she’s just 10 years old to think and act like that.

“You want to sleep next to Mommy then?” I bend and kissed her all over the face. She chuckled.

“Yeah, I want to be with you now.” she entered the room and locked the door. She pulled my hand towards to the bed.

“Shouldn’t you go to bed early Mommy because you still have work tomorrow, right?”

Oh yeah, I have a meeting tomorrow morning around 10 am.

We both lay down on the bed. She hugged me tightly.” Good night, I love you, Mom.” She smiled adoringly at me. She kissed my cheek before closing her eyes.

Elizabeth deserves a happy and complete family, but now Daren and I don’t understand each other anymore, we’re planning to divorce... that’s okay Elyse! You can be a mother and father to her, you can do it! Just believe in yourself.

Before we’re just poor, but I am happy because I’m with my Mom and dad. I am their only daughter and they love me so much. I grow up with loving and caring parents. Sadly, they died when I was 18. It’s my exact birthday. We’re in the jeep together with my parents...

We got into an accident, I’m one of those lucky passengers who got survive. Unlucky, my parents don’t.

    I was walking today, and I stop when I saw a familiar restaurant.“Wait, from what I remember, Mindy is working here as a waitress,” I murmur.“Get out! Leave and don’t ever come back here, you thief!!” I was surprised to see Mindy being pushed by a woman out of that restaurant.“Ma’am Fiona, I’m not stealing anything, I didn’t steal anything from her, I’m telling the truth!” Mindy even knelt at that woman, begging.I saw another woman behind Fiona, she’s smiling and staring at Mindy. It looks like she’s happy seeing Mindy like that!What’s going on, by the way?!I quickly walk toward them and pulled Mindy’s hand to help her stand up.“Why are you kneeling to that woman Mindy?! She’s not a god, so why are you kneeling in front of her!” I glared at them. That woman in the white dress looked at me sharply.“She’

    The heck. I just let out a big laugh. I said, "He's 29," and I still find it hard to believe it. Elyse, it's all right. It's alright since you might simply feel the same way. I almost slap my forehead. He doesn't talk much, Elyse, what vibes! How can you two have the same vibes, okay! "My son is kind, as I've already said," I said. "Are you sure?" She shook her head when I asked. What exactly she was talking about has me completely baffled. "Oh! How old is your daughter, by the way?" "She has already turned ten..." I paused mid-sentence if unexpectedly taken aback by what she had heard? "You became pregnant at 17?" "Y-Yes." "You were so young when you became pregnant, wow." "Yes, but I didn't become pregnant once more; that one is sufficient for me." I've never been pregnant, no matter how often we were together, and as my company expanded, I ran out of time to talk to Daren since I was so worn out from work. I can still cook and look after Elizabeth, but I have no desire to

I was wondering how she knew that her dad was what I was thinking.“Daddy pfft,”I arched an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, why are you still laughing there?""Didn't you miss your dad?" And over time, her smile faded as she stared into my eyes."Mommy, I have to tell you something, don't be mad.""What's that?""Daddy met me and went to school with me, and you—"My forehead furrowed in surprise as she exclaimed, "What?!" I rose and turned to face her.I can't help but shout, "You talked to your dad without my permission?! What if he kidnapped you without notifying me? What will happen to me if he takes you too?!"She started to say, "M-Mommy, he just said hi," but I cut her off.I'm not mad at my daughter; I'm mad at Daren because it seems like he's trying to figure out a way to get Elizabeth for me, and I can't agree!

I nearly missed the fact that I used too much salt.Sir Xander raised one hand as if to stop me as I said, "I'm sorry Sir Xander, I'll just cook for you again."He motioned toward the house's exit door and said, "Leave."Is he asking me to leave?

    Is it true that voice suddenly caused goosebumps in me? I walked up to the car and yelled, "Sir Xander!" Despite being drenched, I entered the vehicle. "Why are you in this location?" He urged me to stop talking and then inquire as to the location of the hospital, "Shut up and just tell me where that freaking hospital is!" I didn't understand what he was talking about. I didn't ask Mindy and simply let my mouth hang open because I didn't know where. What shall we now do? I had no business calling her! I removed my phone from the sling bag and, thank God, all of the money inside the bag was watertight. But it's alright, finding the money is simple. I mean, money is not important right now, it's my daughter who's more important to me. I took a big breath after Mindy texted to tell me the location of the hospital.

I noticed that it was very hot so I hurried to get a bimpo and water.I took off his clothes and wiped him. I noticed that he had bruises on his body and his face, as if he had been punched. Did he fight?I wiped his whole body for a few minutes and I noticed that his fever dropped a little bit. Is it hot in here, the air conditioner is not on?"Xander? Xander awake?" I didn't dress her first because I was sure it would be difficult. I just cooked something for him to eat then he went back to his room."Xander wake up! Oyyy, wake up and eat first."
