After a week, Sam didn’t tell me what happened to her while working with Liro. She also doesn't want to go out of the house, so I am still the one who delivers and to pick up the children from school. It's Sunday, so I woke up early to boil water because we were going to church.Sam followed. "Good morning," I said, while brewing coffee."Good morning," she replied, and approached me. "Coffee," she said, and was about to sip the coffee I made when she suddenly felt nauseous. I frowned. She's running to the bathroom. I looked at her and decided to follow her into the bathroom.I waited outside. I have a hunch, but I hope I am wrong about it."Andrea," I didn't answer. I just stared at her and didn't speak. "Andrea, sorry." She said and suddenly hugged me while crying."Why are you apologizing to me?" "I messed up everything. I'm pregnant, Andrea." "Liro is the father." She added.I immediately led her to the kitchen and gave her a glass of water. I sat down in front of her and confro
I was silent the whole trip. I was leaning against Luca's car as I thought about my encounter with Liro earlier. He's still the same. He hasn't changed even a bit."What do you think?" I looked at Luca. Is he saying anything?"I'm sorry. What did you say?"Luca looked into my eyes, then turned to the road. I bit my lower lip because of what I did. He may have felt disappointed. I'm pacing out. I can't concentrate right now.Where did my mind go?"Are you okay? Are you bothered by what that man did earlier?" he asked, and he's really worried while looking into my eyes."Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I replied to him and leaned against the window again. Luca did not speak until we got to my house.When I entered, Atlas was asleep, but Eve was still awake. She's obviously sleepy. When she saw me, she quietly approached me to kiss my cheek and then returned to Sam's lap and watched TV."Did you eat already?" I asked Sam."Yes. I felt dizzy earlier, but it's okay now." Sam answered
I went outside after I cooked. I left them inside so that they could talk. Maybe by now, Sam has already told Liro about Atlas.I picked up the laundry I was going to wash today. These are already wet. I was surprised to see the basket that Nay Rilang gave me last night. These are the snake plants that I asked her about.There are only nine because Luca threw one at Liro last night. I plan to plant it now after I wash these clothes."Good morning." I jumped in shock when suddenly someone spoke behind me. When I looked back at who it was, I saw Gege smiling at me. She was wearing a jogging attire."Gege!" I said her name. She laughed at my reaction and approached me, then hugged me."Why so early today?" I asked."I jogged." She replied."Who's with you? Or just you?"I saw she was stunned for a moment. "L-Luca," she replied. I looked around to find Luca, but I could not find him."Where is he?" I asked."He left," she said. Oh, okay."I think you wandered around here very early in the
I stayed with Snow inside until I finished shopping for groceries at home.She was a happy companion. She's talkative and very fun to be with. We talked a lot, but not about Hiro.When we were out, I watched her with Hivo. They were nice to watch. They are perfect. I’m glad to see how Hivo adjusts to Snow’s childishness."Hivo, let's go with Cassandra first." I immediately shook my head to tell them that it's fine. "Oh no! Don't. I have someone with me." I said."Are you sure?" The hesitation on Snow's face was obvious. Aweee. She's too kind."Yes, Snow. Don't worry," I said."Aright then. See you when I see you, Cas. It's nice to meet you.""Thank you, Snow." I said, smiling.She even kissed my cheek before leaving."We're going first, Cassandra." Hivo said. He's really handsome, even when I first saw him."All right, Hivo. Thank you." I said. They left in front of me. When they turned on the right side, Gege came with my daughter."Mama!!"Eve immediately ran closer to my direction.
I was outside sweeping when Liro came out. He has been here for two days, and as usual, his son still ignores him."Oh why?" I asked when I saw the happiness and sadness in his eyes.He sat in the wooden chair next to our house."I'm happy, Cas." He said. "I'm happy to know that your daughter is fine with you. I'm happy to know that nothing bad happened to you." He continued. It was only five in the morning, so the people were still asleep. Only us and Sam were awake.I sat next to him and looked at the sky where the light from the peeking sun could be seen."Back then, when we were together under the same roof, I did nothing but hurt you."I remember those days. He was right. I really tried to open myself up to him. I was thinking because at that time, I might like him and we would be a happy family. But, well, he doesn't like me. I understand that part. He just maybe loves my sister that much."I grew up with my foster parents. I thought then that Mama and Hiro died in the fire. Bef
"Mama," Eve called me. I’m with her in the living room because I’m currently picking up the seeds in the green peas that I’ll cook later."Yes, love?" I asked, while my eyes settled on TV. I texted Shia because said she will borrow Eve tomorrow because they wanted to take Eve with them on their trip so I'm waiting for her reply. "Can I go with Mommy Sam today?" she asked. Sam told me that the three of them, Liro and Atlas, were leaving because she planned to bring the father and son closer. They need to adjust to start their life. "Love, they're going to bond. It's their trip."I saw her suddenly saddened by what I said. I sighed."Eve,""Mama, I'm a good girl. I promise I'll be behave with Mommy Sam."I know love, but"It's okay, Andrea-I mean, Cas." Sam scratched her head. When she found out my real name, she was confused as to what to call me. I thought she would be upset that I hid my real name from her but, she just kept quiet.Her treatment of me has not changed. How she use
I went with them out of the house. Using Liro's car, we put the things they would use on their trip. They will be camping in the mountains.The children were excited. They immediately got into the car, and I laughed while watching them. They are having fun."Are you sure it's okay with you that you're the only one here?" Liro asked. I nodded at him and smiled."I'm fine here. Don't worry about me. Just take care of my daughter." I told him. He saluted me. "Yes ma'am." he added. I laughed.Sam came out. The bulge in her stomach was quite obvious. When Liro saw her, he immediately approached Sam and led her to his car with care."Cas, we're going." Sam said. I waved at them. Liro drove the car until they disappeared from my sight.I decided to just go inside the house and clean up. Later, Felicity called me."Yes, Fel?""Are you busy?""No. I'm not busy." I answered."Let's meet. I'll give you something." She added. I looked at the clock. It should have been early in the afternoon, so I
When I arrived at the mall, I immediately bought wallpaper. Eve wants everything in our room to look like the universe. I don’t know about that kid and where she got that idea.I plan to buy things as fast as I can because it's getting late. I went with school supplies to buy tape, scissors, and a glue gun.I was approaching the school supplies store when my cellphone rang. I saw Shia's name, so I answered it."Where are you?" Agui's voice was exposed to me, and I thought his forehead was furrowed again."At the mall. Why?" I wondered. I stepped aside first because there were a lot of people here."What time is it? It's late. Go home now." He demanded."What are you? My dad?" I said, and Shia seemed to hear that because I heard her laugh on the other line."Come home, Andrea. It's late. Don't be stubborn." That was all, and he turned off the call.He's really crazy sometimes.I went to the school supplies store and bought the things I needed. There are lots of people here as well. Man
