Alan's POV

Unbelievable! After all that she has done the only thing that she chose to say was a ‘sorry’?

“What? You're sorry?” it took all of me not to slap her. She surprisingly fell down to her knees and rubbed her hands together “I am sorry Alan, I am deeply sorry for this. Please don't take my son from me, I'll die without him” I was surprised at her actions, at this point I didn't even know what to think of her anymore. “Do you think your apology would change what you did? You have kept my son from me for six years Aileen, six damn years!” I broke down the bottle in my hands, the shards scattering everywhere. “Then what did you want me to do? You left me with no choice back then! I was broken!. I was young, scared and confused! Why did you let Celine inside your gallery to start with? You made me do this!!” She shouted back at me standing on her feet, challenging me with my own words.

Due to that misunderstanding, that one foolish thing made all of this happen. Maybe she was r

    At the airport, a tall young woman has just arrived back from her trip, dragging along with her a luggage cartwheels, and her hair flowing behind her. She wore a black pants with a white top, a gray knee length coat, a white scarf tucked nicely around her neck and black shades. The way she walks, she held such a cold and aloof as if she was some super model, she was a definition of ‘you can watch but don't you dare to approach me’.Unlike the people who were occupied watching her, she was busy on the phone, having a video call. “I am so sorry again for not being there Sunny and Sam. I wished to be there, you won't believe it I even had dress prepared already only to miss it” she complained, blaming the emergency that kept her from attending their wedding. “It's alright Rue, we understand that you are a busy woman.” Replied Sunny. “Maybe you can make up for this once we return, it's not alright for me” Samuel was used to Rue, she isn't only Alan's big sister but to all four of them.

  • Let's Start Over    A moment with his son

    Back at the kindergarten, Alan was having hard time convincing the boy to go with him. “But mommy said not to follow strangers. I am sorry, I but can't go with uncle” Alan rubbed his forehead, this young man was as stubborn as her mother, giving him pain to his headache. “How am I still a stranger when we have met before? I promise you I am bringing you to your mother, she is quite busy and asked me to fetch you from school. I am not lying Leelan and I won't hurt you” his mother was sure to give him a good lesson to not follow strangers, which was a good thing and it shows that she was a good mother to him. But then not now, he wanted Leelan to go with him but he won't go with strangers and yet he talks to him. He was quiet smart for his age and then at the same time, a bit innocent, he shouldn't be talking to him at all since he was viewing him as a stranger still. He promised himself to teach his son everything with time, he has to be smart because his family has a number of enemie

    Even though they didn't have much time to play video games as his son wanted, still that didn't stop the man from downloading one in his handphone and giving it to him. He even stopped by to buy him the ice-cream that he asked for, from now on….he was going to give him everything he ever wanted. As the boy was happily eating his ice-cream, Alan leaned back to get a full view of him. His face, his little frame on his school uniforms, his son was perfect in his eyes. A smile breaking on his face, he was hit again by a wave of strong emotions, emotions that he was still trying to comprehend. He has been around his niece, Taylor. But still it felt very different from being around his son, this all was new to him. He was feeling the love growing, the sense of wanting to protect him and the responsibilities he has over him. “Uncle, why are you crying?” His innocent voice brought him back from his trance. He touched his cheeks and felt the wetness on them, he quickly wiped them and then smi

Calm down mom and yes we're at his place now” she bit her lip, even though she didn't see this coming. “He did and yes I'm alright, mommy I have to go now. I'll tell you everything when we get home. You should eat and not wait for us”“Okay, I will. bye mom”. Her mother was shocked and worried after hearing about the news.She ended the call and sighed, maybe it was for the best that the truth came out today. She felt like a heavyweight was lifted from her chest. “Did you cook?” Alan asked, because he doesn't remember asking his cook to come by today, he wanted his privacy. Aileen turned to face him. “Uh yeah. I thought Leelan might be hungry when you get back and so….I made something for all of us. But I am sorry if I made a mistake to intrude your kitchen” she stuttered. “No it's alright, it's fine to be considerate of our son” he responded. They share

  • Let's Start Over    I have a dad!

    Aileen's POV God must be on my side this time and I was grateful. Everything happened so fast but unlike how I predicted the end, things ended good. Alan didn't take it all on me and chose to forgive me, I wish my dad was around because there was a lot to tell him. He was the only one I could turn to express myself and since he was bedridden and now that he was gone, I feel like I was stuffed with a lot of things inside me. I missed him a lot, my best friend apart from Sunny. I sat down for a while and then went up to check on the boy. He might be shocked if he wakes up and finds himself in a foreign bedroom or without me around him. Since I knew the password already, I entered the codes and went inside. I was surprised by the view before me and soon my eyes become teary. Alan laid beside our son, hugging him closer to his chest as if he would disappear otherwise. He too fell asleep, he must've been tired. I thought as I watched the two sleeping, their breath falling and rising in h

    The two spent an hour in the room and she knew not to disturb them, they later came down walking hand in hand. God knows what they were speaking about because she could only hear them laughing over and over again. Their laughter was a very refreshing sound inside his big empty mansion. “Are you two hungry? Come let's eat together” she already began to set the table for them. They all then sat down for lunch, the table was quite high and so it was quite difficult for Leelan to reach up comfortably. Alan left the room “I'll get you your own chair next time, i can't let my son suffer like this” he uttered and kept two pillows below him so that he was a bit higher compared to before. “That would be great” responded Aileen. “Daddy, I have my chair back at home,” he uttered. “Really, then I really need to get you your chair” he took out his phone and dialed Rafael. “You don't really have to do it now” Aileen was baffled. But she was late because the call was already connected. “Rafael, i wa

    Some few minutes later, Aileen came down with the boy covered in a towel. She was using another towel to dry his hair. She halted along with her breath downstairs, “Good lord! What is all this?” She asked, her eyes widening. “You told me to get him something to wear, I don't know his size and I couldn't go to the mall now so I've brought the mall home!” He answered nonchalantly. Aileen was speechless, wishing she could take her words back. Before her were countless portable racks of clothes and couples of attendants waiting for them. “What???” She couldn't believe this man. “Here, come and pick anything fit for my son” he pulled her hand and brought her closer to the racks of clothes. “Welcome ma'am, can you please tell us what would you like to try first” said the head of the attendants. Aileen groaned “What is truly wrong with you?” she instead faced the man. “What? What did I do wrong?” He just can't seem to understand this woman. Why wouldn't she just congratulate him?.“I told yo

  • Let's Start Over    A discovery

    Back at Alan's mansion, the mother picked up something for him which was less expensive than the rest. Unlike her, once Alan knew his son's size he went ahead and bought a pile of clothes for him, saying that they would keep them at his house for when the boy visits, he doesn't have to carry any with him. Aileen tried her best to reduce them while the man added to them until she gave up and just watched him silently, spending his supposedly money on his son. She could only imagine how much the man had spent for the day, she wondered how much it would get at the end of the month. Later on they had to move his toys which were occupying the living room to some room, as well as the clothes he bought for him. Alan has already called one of his friends who was a major in house decoration to come and design his son's bedroom. Everything was happening so fast and still, he felt like he wasn't doing enough for the time he lost to be with his son.In the evening, the three of them went to his y

    That day, the two went to pick up the boy only to find out that he was already picked up by his aunt. Shocked, they started to make a few calls only to find out that it was no other but Rue. She picked the boy and took her to Aileen’s house already, left with no choice Alan gave her a ride there. They found her very engrossed in a conversation with Sharon that it left them wondering what they were talking about by the convenient store. Alan stopped the car and made a honk to call for them. Not too shocked they both got in his car, heading to the house. The little boy was happy to see his parents again. “I want you to inform me next time if you are planning to take my son anywhere, Rue. People are messy out there, you can't keep us worried all the time” complained Alan after seeing off the family. “Shut it already, he is my nephew. Stop overreacting, dad!” she brushed him off. “I fucking mean it Rue. And what the hell were you talking to Sharon about? You know that I don't trust you, d

    “Will you calm down first, little brother?. It wasn't me who made this decision, it was our dear father and mother, you should lash out at them and not me, do you get it?” siad Rue, she wasn't going to tell him what the whole family was up to, never. He should just sit back and let them take care of his future now because he seemed too confused to even date someone like Tiffany. “Not even you Rue, please! He is my son, don't you understand? Do you people know how much danger you have gotten my son and his mother into? Do you know how many enemies I've made out there?” He was very angry that he wasn't informed about the matter that concerned his own son's life. He should've been informed about it, he would've made preparations about it. There was media to deal with, there were the board members to inform and secure the formalities about their relationship to them and there is a damn society who are always ready to pick and judge things even without knowing anything about it.

    “Here, he sent me this text this evening. Read it” he lost the phone to her parents and then they passed it over to Neil and Kylie. “Oh my god, that poor boy,” said their mother. “Right. How could I respond when my six years old nephew asks me such a question? I was speechless and didn't even know how to explain things to that smart little guy. Thus why this meeting is important” explained Rue.“He literally asked why his parents aren't living together like the rest of the children at school. He probably talked to classmates about their families and was very disturbed to realize that his parents are the only ones who aren't living together. This isn't good for his poor little mind” she added. “He is just a young boy who deserves more than to be raised by both of them.” she promised to get to the bottom of this, it really disturbed her when the boy told her about it.“So what do you suggest we do?” Asked Neil. “There is only one way, we have to get them back together so that they can

    Leelan was happy to have his daddy over, they played a little before taking him to sleep, the two of them did. When he came out he spotted Sharon with two cups of coffee “Here, it's been a while, have a seat” she said. Aileen was still tucking her son well and making sure he didn't wake up because he couldn't feel her warmth. Alan sat down, gripping the cup, not even knowing how to look at her. “How is everything? I am sorry for your loss” He asked. “Thank you, things are going well. How is your family doing?” Sharon noticed how uncomfortable the man was. “They are doing well, they send their condolences actually” he answered. Sharon got up “Come here” she said. Alan was dumbfounded but he too stood up. Sharon hugged him, “I am sorry for everything that has happened to you my dear,” awestruck by what just happened, the man stood still, letting the woman embrace him. His eyebrows knitted together, it took all in him not to shatter right there and cry like a baby. He never knew that th

    Aileen glared at him, she then scoffed “Why do you care who I talk to?” She asked. “I want to know,” he demanded. “And who the hell are you to say that? Wait a minute, are you jealous?” She was surprised, getting angry little by little at their current conversation. “I asked who were you texting, Aileen?” He somehow wanted to know at all cost, even if it was not his place to know. “Wow! This is very funny now.” Aileen shook her head with laughter. “I don't freaking ask a thing about you and your Tiffany! Why are you so curious about my life? What happened to not interfere with our personal lives?” she paused watching him stare at her. “Does she even know that you have a son with me?” She asked the most important question, it was bugging her this whole time. “That's between me and Tiffany” he responded, fuming. “Right! Then this conversation is fucking over!” She just doesn't understand him at all. What was wrong with this man?.“It is not until I say so” he uttered and then snatched t

    The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin

  • Let's Start Over    Mother's duty

    In the evening they had to leave and head back to Alan's house. They talked about it and thought of spending two nights at his house every week, starting with this week. Aileen had no argument for this since she would be going along with her son or else she would be going crazy with uneasiness of being far from her son, even for two nights. Leelan received a lot of gifts when she left his grandparent's house, Aileen wondered when did they get the time to prepare for everything. But then she answered herself, it was a rich people thing to get things done with only a snap, she witnessed a lot already from working with Alan for over half a year now. What gave her a headache was where were they going to keep all of those gifts at. Because those things were definitely not going to her house, uh uh it's not happening ….her house would be flooding with toys at this rate.When they arrived at his house, all the boy was talking about was their visit to his grandparents as if they weren't toget

  • Let's Start Over    Not only my fault

    “You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp

  • Let's Start Over    Meeting with his family

    Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face.
