"SO, YOU'RE Tallulah's fiance, right? Mr. Lopez told me about you," said Doctor Reyes, Tallulah's OB Gynecologist. "It's better for the mother and of course for the baby that you are always with the check up so that you are also updated on the current situation of your mother and your child," he said while smiling.She smiled at the doctor. "You're right, Doc, he's my fiance and the father of my child. He's Gael, Doc." She confirmed."That's good that you're here, Mr. Gael so you can monitor the baby's health properly," he turned to him, he smiled but Gael was serious. When he turned to his record that was on his table. "Well, based on your record you're 7 weeks pregnant and you're in your first trimester of your pregnancy." He looked up at her. "And for today's check up, we must do the maternal blood testing to measure if there's a possibility of chromosomal abnormality," he explained to her.She just nodded while sitting across from her table. Gael, who was standing behind her, was
GAEL entered the house he was renting silently. He sat down on the sofa and leaned against it. He even cupped his forehead as he put his elbows on his knees."Gael, what's wrong? Can you please listen to me? I won't leave you because I don't love you anymore, I still love you but I have to do this for you. I-if I'm ok, I'll come back, promise! I'll come back to see you and I hope at that time, you still love me."He shook his head as the memory of his past returned to him. It's been seven years since Lilliana Ruiz left him, the only woman he loved in his entire life and until now, he still hopes and waits for the girl's return. The reason for her disappearance is still a mystery to him.He remembered Lilliana even more when he and Tallulah ate at the restaurant because she did the same thing to him when they ate his favorite food."F*ck!" because of his annoyance, he kicked the table in front of him so it moved forward. He stood up. There was a lot of confusion and frustration on his
It's past seven in the evening but Gael still hasn't arrived. Tallulah had been waiting for him for a while because she was hoping that he would be here even though he did not respond to her request. Because her parents were not there, she called them not to go home because she said that Gael was going to be there but it looks like she was wrong because he wasn't there yet."Dang, do you think Gael will come?" She sadly asked their helper who was close to her because she had been the one who had taken care of her almost since she was born. It's also not a secret about her great love for Gael.The old woman came to her and sat next to her and gently rubbed her shoulder. "What do you think, Tali?" She smiled. "It's not that I want to hurt you, but sometimes you have to accept that not everything we want to happen, will happen. Less expectation, less pain," she said with a trace of comfort in it.Her face became sadder. She bowed. "But, I want to be with Gael. I want to spend more time w
The smile on Tallulah's face when she woke up the next morning was brighter than the bright sun. Her heart was filled with joy and happiness because of the care and concern Gael made her feel last night. She slept with joy and a smile on her face because she knew he was right next to her. That must have been her happiest day.But she was a little sad and disappointed when she found out that Gael probably left early."When we woke up he was gone, but it looks like he cooked the porridge in the dining room because I didn't cook earlier," Dang concluded while she was in the living room.She frowned. "Porridge? So, you mean Gael cooked for me?" She asked in disbelief because it seems impossible that Gael is going to cook for her.She hurriedly walked towards the dining area and was amazed at what she saw because what Dang said was true, there was porridge there. If the maid said that she didn't cook, who else would do it? The surprise on her face was replaced by a smile and great joy.She
"I'M SORRY, Gael, but we know you're the only one who will soften our daughter, that's why we sent you here. I'm sure she'll listen to you," Gilberto told Gael when he entered the Lopez family's big house. Even though he didn't want to go there and see Tallulah, he couldn't do anything because of Gilberto's request and his concern for the child. He found out that Tallulah was not eating and wasn't leaving the room and maybe that was because of what happened at the boutique the other day that made her very angry.He sighed. He just scratched his forehead and shook his head. "Where is she?" he asked without emotion."She's in her room. We've been knocking her to eat for a while but she won't come out. Gael, please I know Tali will listen to you, so I hope you'll be nice to her even now," Caroline reminded.He didn't say a word. His irritation broke out because of what Tallulah was doing as he knew she had an agenda with her acting. He turned his back on them and walked up to the Tali's
"WHY are you here, Tallulah?" Brielle rudely asked Tallulah, when she went to her house to give her friend an invitation for her and Gael's wedding. She knew that she was angry with her because of what she said to her when they last met and she knew that she was wrong.She bent down to hide the shame on her face. "I'm sorry, Brielle for what I said to you. I was just mad because I always felt like you're not happy for me," she reasoned. She thought in the end, she is still her friend and they have shared a lot together that she can't throw away just because they didn't understand each other.She heard her sigh as she folded her arms. "That's good, that you know you were wrong, Tali. You know I'm always happy with all your achievements because I'm your friend but you know not in this way." She inhaled. "But since there's nothing I can do and that's already there, I'll just support you because we're still friends," she finally said.She looked up at her friend. Both of their faces were
"WHAT are you doing here?" Gael asked Tallulah without emotion when she stood in front of his house when the door opened.She bowed because she knew he was angry with her because of what happened yesterday. Their wedding is tomorrow but she can't feel it because apart from her family, he is busy, she can't feel Gael's excitement. Why is she looking for something like that, when she knows he doesn't like her?"Gael, I know I've been saying this over and over again every time I make a mistake, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday with you and Kendric." She looked up at him and she couldn't see any emotion in his handsome face. "Our wedding is tomorrow and I don't want us to get married with you holding a grudge against me so I'm here to apologize for the mess I made," she continued.Gael's eyes narrowed. "You don't want to marry me when I have a grudge against you? Then, don't marry me because I won't lose my grudge against you until you let me go," he said emphatically.
Gael stared intently at the cupcakes in front of him that Tallulah bought for him. Despite his anger and hatred for her, he still couldn't help but feel guilty for what he was doing to her because they were still together. He knew how good Tallulah was and he also knew that she was just blinded by so much love for him that she turned out like this.He shook his head and smiled, then took a cupcake. He nodded because it was delicious, probably because he really likes the vanilla flavor of anything sweet.He sighed and the smile faded when he remembered that his wedding with Tallulah was tomorrow but until now, he still wasn't even preparing for it, he wasn't even thinking about it and he just hoped it wouldn't be tomorrow. He dropped the cupcakes and put them back in the container.He should not feel sorry or guilty for what he is doing to Tallulah because she should be the one to feel that because she destroyed his dream, his life. Even if that marriage is fake, he still has to be tie
"HAIST!" Tallulah tossed and turned in her bed because until now she still couldn't get out of her mind what Gael said to her earlier while she was treating his wound. Why does the young man look so serious? "What the hell, Tali? You shouldn't be affected by Gael's game," she calmed herself down.She got up from lying down and looked up with a frown. She was confused with herself because she was still affected by Gael. She shook her head. She should feel nothing for Gael but pity and conscience.She sighed as she remembered Kendric. She tried to call and text the young man but he didn't answer. She was worried for her boyfriend because she knew she had hurt him so much.She decided to go down from the room to drink water. She needed that to calm herself down. She must always remember the reason why she is there and that is her only purpose. She will never fall for Gael again."Oh! Why are you still awake?"She turned around when she heard the voice of Serum who had just entered the ki
Tallulah approached Kendric worriedly while the guard tried to restrain her. He almost fell over from his drunkenness. She could see on his face the sadness and jealousy he felt because of the truth that she's with Gael."Kendric, that's enough," she said sadly and approached him. The guard released him and she went to Kendric. "What are you doing here?" She asked worriedly.Kendric looked at her with wide eyes. There was a trace of longing to see her. He gently held her cheek and caressed it. "Talu, please, come with me. We're going home," he begged.She looked away from him. She knew Gael was there listening. "Kendric, I'm sorry! I don't want to hurt you, I don't want you to be like this. Please! Let me stay here while I pay for my sin," she said. She felt sorry for Kendric. He hugged her tightly."Talu, I can't! I-I can't wait while you're here, while you're with Gael. I'm scared," he said as if he was about to cry.She faced him. She gently kissed his cheek. She smiled. "Kendric,
"YOU'RE crying?"Tallulah turned to the man who stood by her side as she stood on the terrace of the mansion and cried because of Gael. Serum exposed himself to her with his hand outstretched with a handkerchief.She immediately avoided and bowed slightly. "I'm fine, Serum," she said casually and wiped the tears from her cheeks."Ok? But you don't look ok, Tali. Remember what I've said, I'm only here to hear your rant and sentiments. Is it because of Gael?" He sighed and faced her.She was surprised when he grabbed her shoulder and gently touched her. He slowly wiped her cheek with his handkerchief. She was stunned and felt lost.She pulled back a little and couldn't look at the young man. "I'm fine, Serum. Thank you!" She just looked at the vast sky full of stars."Why are you putting up with Gael's behavior? Why are you still here to take care of him even he's always mad at you? You can find another job. If you're tired of his behavior, you can quit, you can leave," he said, it was
"WHAT is your plan, Sir Gael now that Tali knows that you know her?" Hiro asked him as he stood and faced the veranda of his room while holding his stick to guide him as he walked.His face had no emotion. "It's simple, I will make her suffer. I will repeatedly remind her that she is the cause of all this and I will not give her the peace she is looking for." He smirked. "She ruined my life and I will do the same to her.""We both know that you and Tali have a son, Sir Gael. What about him? What about your son, he can be affected by what you do," said Hiro who seemed to disagree with what he wanted to do.He was stunned. Because of the anger he feels towards Tallulah, he forgets that he actually has a child with the girl. Despite the hatred he has, he doesn't reject the child who was the result of everything Tallulah did before. He was excited to see and hug him because he knew that despite everything, the boy was still his son."He doesn't sympathize with my anger, Hiro. That's why I
Tallulah cupped her forehead and looked at her mother indicating that she should take Callum to her room first which she got what she meant."Let's go to your room, Callum," Caroline said and led the surprised child. She looked at them sadly.When they disappeared, she faced Kendric with a confused look on her face. She doesn't know what she should do when the only thing she knows is that she has to pay for everything she did before."K-Kendric, I'm sorry!" tears fell in his eyes because she knew she would hurt him which he didn't deserve."Why are you saying sorry, Talu?" he asked in confusion with a hint of nervousness.She sighed and stared at her boyfriend. "I can't do anything else, Kendric, but to accept and pay for my mistake at the hands of Gael. I'm sorry because...I can't escape the past that I'm trying to forget."Kendric's brow furrowed and he smiled hesitantly as the fear of what she said was obvious. "I-I don't understand, Talu. W-what is Gael's hand to pay for? E-Everyt
Gael smiled when he heard Tallulah call his name. He was no longer surprised and only gave her a meaningful look."I know it's you, Tallulah Lopez! I won't ever forget you and all the things you've done to me." His serious face was replaced by anger and hatred. It was sharp that gave her fear. "The pretending is over, Tallulah because even if I don't see you and even if you don't introduce yourself to me, I know you." He took a breath and smiled sarcastically. "Do you think I can't recognize you? I can't forget you because you're the reason for all of this!" he said emphatically, teeth chattering.She held tightly to the hem of her clothes. She was enveloped in nervousness and fear of what Gael could do to her. She wasn't surprised by his confession because that was what she expected but his anger, she couldn't run away anymore.She was stunned and did not immediately answer. She swallowed. "Gael! I'm sorry!" Tears fell from her eyes because of what she's feeling. She knows the mistak
"TALI," she heard her mother call her as she sat quietly in the living room of the house. It's late at night but she still can't sleep because everything Kendric's mother says keeps messing with her mind. She turned to Caroline and smiled. "Why are you still awake?" She bent down and gently caressed her folded arm. "I'm not sleepy yet, Mom," she reasoned.She came to her and sat next to her. She sighed. "Is it because of Kendric's family? You can't hide your feelings from me, because what you feel is the same for me. Everything changed not only in the life we have, but also in the someone who was our friend before," Caroline sadly confessed.She let out a breath and looked at her sadly. "Mom, is everything that I, our family is going through because of the mistake I made before?" Her eyes watered and she tilted her head slightly. "I'm sorry, Mom! If all this is my karma, if I'm the reason, I hope I'm the only one who is suffering now." She couldn't stop the tears from falling.Carol
Tallulah wasn't immediately moved by Kendric's questions to her. She feels mixed emotions. She is thrilled with the effort he made for his proposal even though he knows she lied to him.Is she ready to accept his proposal to be his wife and be with him for the rest of her life? Is this the right time?She closed her mouth and swallowed. She looked at Kendric who was still kneeling in front of her holding a box with a ring in it. Many people are whispering in her surroundings and she doesn't know why she has to think of Gael in her decision."Yes! Yes!" shouted the teachers and parents who were there. There is a trace of excitement on their faces. Who wouldn't be thrilled by what Kendric did? Apart from this handsome man, his love can also be seen through his actions."Talu, I'm happy every day that I'm with you, that you're here by my side and I don't see myself feeling that with another woman. I don't want to get married if it's not you," he said sweetly. "I hope you love me enough t
"IT'S GAEL. I know Gael is the man you take care of in that mansion."Tallulah was stunned by what Kendric said. How did he know about that? Her mouth fell open. Her chest felt heavy because of the fact that she had lied to Kendric. She cheated on him and wasn't honest and she wasn't going to deny that to him."How—"He took the cellphone from his pocket and showed her something. "I saw his picture," he said.She was surprised to see the picture taken in the living room of the mansion. She forgot that Gael had pictures displayed there. "I waited for you to tell me about your work, Talu. I waited because I trusted you b-but...but you tried to hide the truth from me and I couldn't help but think," he said, full of resentment and pain.She bowed down with tears in her eyes. She knew what she did was wrong but she had no other choice because she knew Kendric would stop her if she told him about that."K-Kendric, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Shelooked up. "I-I don't intend to hurt you. I have
