In just one week I will graduate from college and I will soon be able to be with Clara, my older sister. She is the reason I work hard in my studies, and she's also my only inspiration because she is the only one I have.No matter how hard it is to live alone here in England without enough knowledge and money, I insisted on graduating from college so that I can return to our home with honor and achievements.After our graduation, I immediately packed my things with the medal and diploma that I will show her as proof that I have graduated.I can hardly wait to see her and hug her so tightly. I'm excited to hang my medal on her and see the reaction on her face.A week later, I was able to return to the Philippines. While I was walking out of the airport, I kept looking around and my eyes were just looking for her.“Charm!” I quickly turned to the voice I heard. I thought it was Clara calling me, but I realized it was April, my cousin, and close friend. She urgently ran to me and hugged
When I entered the house, I immediately went straight to Clara's room. Her things were scattered on the floor and bed. But a box on her computer desk caught my attention. I approached it and opened it, where I realized that it was the things that she often uses and carries. I almost shed tears as I looked at them one by one and took them out of the box. Until a photo fell from a journal, so I immediately picked it up and looked at it.It's a picture of her with three guys with smiley lines on their lips. She never mentioned to me the men in the picture. Maybe it's her friends or co-workers. So, I didn't pay attention to it, instead, I turned my attention to her journal that I found inside the box. I sat on the bed for a while as I read what was written there.It's like a personal diary in which she writes every event in her life or whatever is running through her mind. I didn't notice suspicious on its first page. But as I read it, I seem to gradually get an idea of what she does da
A week ago, I received a box from an unknown sender again. Inside it was an old cell phone where it suddenly rang and someone was calling. I answered it immediately and put it close to my ear.“Who is this and what do you need from me?” I asked, but he took a long time to respond, I could only hear his heavy breathing. “I know you are the one sending me this box. Why are you helping me and how did you meet Clara?” I added, but again I heard silence from him, and he suddenly hung up on me. Until my cellphone vibrated, and I received a text message from him.“Let's meet at 107 Savante Ramos St. at I Bean coffee shop, at seven sharp in the evening.” The message he sent me.I tried to trace his IP address, but I had a hard time finding him because he was using an old cellphone, and it looked like he just threw it away somewhere.As stated in the message, I went to the said place at the right time. I sat near the window and was far from the eyes of the people there. While I was waiting for
"Good evening, sir and madam." Dante congratulated the business couple and owner of the large hacienda where they stand today.Currently celebrating the twenty-fifth birthday of their unica hija, Hera Marcaida. Known to be beautiful, sexy body, intelligent, sole heir of Marcaida and a great ballerina.But despite his perfect nature, he has the opposite attitude. She is rude, arrogant, cursing, sharp-tongued and looks down on men who want to claim her heart. He believes that they only want wealth or money from him. So until now, he still has no one to choose to marry even though there are many courting and queuing up for him.The Marcaida couple is voluntarily looking for a man to stay with them. They are just worried that she might not be able to marry again because she is very sensitive, especially with men. But no matter how hard they try to push it to others, he always refuses, avoids or doesn't show up to the blind dates reserved for him."Thank you and accept our invitation to yo
despite Hera walking and blurring her eyes due to forming tears, she suddenly bumped into the young waiter who was holding a tray of wine glasses. So, he dropped it and it broke on the floor.Because of this, he grabbed the attention of their guests. He turned to them and looked at him."I'm sorry, Ma'am. I really didn't mean to bump into you," the waiter apologized to him while picking up and cleaning the broken glasses.The girl could not move. He was confused about what to do and seemed to be rolling his eyes around. Bon noticed her immediately so he approached her and held her by the arm."Ms. Hera, are you okay?" he said worriedly while making sure he had no wounds or scars on his body."Bon," said the girl softly. The conversation between the two was interrupted when his father came on stage and got their attention."Attention to all the beautiful beauties and gentlemen attending this occasion. I am very grateful to all of you for attending the twenty-fifth birthday of our unica
while there was no one inside Hera's room, Bon went inside and carefully closed the door so that he wouldn't wake the girl from her nap.He also slowly walked his feet closer to Hera and then he stopped in front of her while observing her damaged body because of the accident that happened to her.Tears almost dripped from the corner of his eyes, especially when he looked up at the young woman's face, which was currently wrapped in a white bandage."I'm sorry if I failed you and didn't protect you. But I'll make sure that person pays for what he did to you," he said softly but firmly in his mouth while clenching his two fists.The girl's index finger on her left hand seemed to move and Bon noticed it immediately, so he suddenly became quiet and looked at the girl's face. He knew that Hera heard what he said and it was as if he wanted to tell him something that he couldn't say right now in front of the young man."Ms. Hera," he knelt in front of her and took her hand."Can you hear me?
after Bon parked his car in the parking lot, he hurriedly took the elevator."Wait a minute!" it was just about to close, but fortunately he still managed to catch it."Thank you," he said when he got inside and pressed the number button on the side. He was almost restless and kept looking at his watch. Until his attention was aroused by a mysterious person behind him. Only the two of them were inside the elevator and he noticed in the reflection that in front of him was the person standing behind him watching him. He watched her from head to toe, back. He was wearing black joggers, nike rubber shoes and a black hoody jacket with his face covered.He could not identify his appearance because of the hoody jacket covering his head and face. But he was sure that he was staring at him and it looked like he was planning something dark. He looked down at his arms, he also noticed that his two hands were inside the jogger and it looked like he was hiding something.Bon didn't make it obvious
Bon waited for more than two hours, outside Hera's room. He was restless and kept walking, holding his forehead with one hand.Owen followed his gaze and let out a deep breath."Could you, Bon? Sit down for a moment and calm down. I'm the one who's getting dizzy with all that you're doing," he told her. The young man stopped walking for a moment and turned to him with both hands clasped together."Owen, tell me. Don't you notice anything strange? Or maybe someone else entered his room?" he asked while Owen shook his head and narrowed his eyes."Strange? Nothing. Why?" it quickly responded to him."Are you sure? You didn't notice anything unusual?" Owen took a while to respond to him and seemed to be thinking deeply."Hey, Owen? can you hear me? are you listening to me?" he asked his friend again. The mischievous young man suddenly came to his senses when he heard the mention of his name. He looked at her again and stood in front of her. Bon followed him with a look of surprise on his
"Why did you help me?" I asked Adante before, after he saved my life from the brink of death. He took me to a remote place, to an island. Where the police are unlikely to track or even follow me.He just sat quietly in front of me while he treated the wound I got from the back of my thigh. Fortunately, it didn't go too deep, so he removed it immediately and covered it with a white bandage."There, it's over!" he said as he stood up. I sat up slowly from the position I was in earlier because I didn't want to fall down and the bullet might go deeper from the inside.I followed him with a look of surprise on my face. I also watched him all the time from head to toe, back.It cannot be denied that he has the looks and is really attractive at first glance. However, he's not my type of guy. I once fell in love with a young man, but the end of our love affair was sad.He died while saving my life and since then I have never fallen in love with another man again. For me, he is still my first
"Let me know after a week. Keep a close eye on Gwen and if possible follow her wherever she goes in the world." The last word I heard from Adante, before I separated from him and followed what he ordered me to do.I met him on a street, when I was being chased by the police. The job I have is too dangerous because my own life depends on it, many starving children depend on me and wait for my arrival.I grew up on the streets, with badjaos and beggars. But when I made up my mind, I used my own skills and intelligence. I have never experienced studying in a good school. Everything I learned only on the street or road.I used to watch and listen to the students. Little by little I will teach myself and I will learn things that I don't know yet.Using the knowledge I have, I share and teach it to the children I meet on the street.I don't want them to grow up ignorant and ignorant of the reality of the world. I know the feeling of being ignorant and belittled by other people. It's not bec
"It's you, what do you need and you came to my office?" Adante treats his wife Hera gently, while their housekeeper Susie is with her and brings tea for her."I brought you some tea, maybe it will help you to lighten your mood." Hera said to him in a modest voice. Adante stood up and approached him."It's me," he said to Manang Susie and took the white cup he was holding from the old man's hand, at the same time he put it down slowly on his table."Can you leave the two of us for now? I'll take care of taking him to the room." He even connected with the old maid. Manang Susie just smiled at him and left the couple inside the office. Adante closed the door and looked at his wife again.Because his mind is not in the condition right now. He thinks about many problems and what he discovers from Sabrina adds to that. So he let out a deep breath, before he approached his wife and hugged him from behind.Hera's eyes widened in shock when she felt her husband's arms around her waist. He didn
Hera and Adante are currently at the reception, as they greet each guest who attended their wedding. Businessmen and big names in the field of industry attended that evening. Hera was on his arm and slowly supporting him to walk."Glad you came and you didn't abandon the reception, otherwise it would have been embarrassing for the guests. What will they think if-" the lady could not continue what she was saying when Adante stopped her from speaking."Mom!" weak but mixed with emphasis in his pronunciation. Adante's father came to them and happily congratulated the newlyweds."You two are perfect for each other. If your parents are still alive, I'm sure they'll tell you the same thing." What the gentleman said to his daughter's wife, Hera. The girl raised her voice so that she just smiled on her lips."By the way, how is he?" the lady suddenly mentioned about her personal bodyguard, Bon, who is currently confined to the hospital and is still unconscious. The smile on the girl's lips di
Hera and Adante entered their home hand in hand. Hera was still a bit of a change, because she hadn't memorized much of their newly built mansion. With its size and breadth, five families can fit, but since only the two of them live there, it can be considered like a palace to them.They also have some maids and watchmen. There are also some expensive equipment in the whole corner of their house, some of which were gifted at their wedding and even came from different countries. The two of them have almost everything and only noisy children are missing to be considered a family.The servants there and the gardener immediately greeted them, while they lined up and seemed to be really looking forward to their arrival."Welcome, Ma'am Hera and Sir. Adante. We are happy to serve you and congratulations to you both." Said Susie's brother, the one who is building all the assistants and managers in their mansion."Thank you very much, Susie. By the way, honey. She's Susie or Susie, but you ca
"Gwen?" Adante said softly on his lips, after he discovered that the girl Gwen was the patient in the ambulance he followed.He immediately got down and got out of his car as he followed the nurse's who were supporting the girl. They immediately rushed him to the E.R or emergency room. The young man was just hiding on one side and simply peeking into the room he entered. Looking around him until they saw a male doctor who had been watching him from a distance.He quickly looked away and turned away from her. Covering his own face with both hands and simply walking away from him. When he suddenly called her and approached her."Excuse me!" the voice he heard from the doctor, so he just froze and stopped walking.Heist. What does he need from me? can't he just kiss me? Adante sailed from his mind.The young doctor walked up to him and faced him face to face. He looked at her from head to toe, back before he spoke again."You are Mr. Adante Kier Bautista, right?" it pointed to him with a
"You may kiss your bride." The church was filled with shouts and applause. I almost pinch myself just trying to be happy. I want to push him away and avoid those lips of his, but what can I do? I am blind, unable to run or even escape because I cannot see those around me. That's why instead of retreating I just listened.We are leaving the church now. I was on one of his arms while the people we passed greeted us."Congratulations.""Congratulations to both of you!""Congratulations, Mr. Bautista."Successive greetings to him and to me. But my mouth is closed and a bitter smile on my lips."I'm so happy for you, hijo. Finally, I found the perfect woman for you." We stopped walking for a while when his mom approached him. I don't know how I will react in those moments. I felt like I was going to vomit or feel dizzy when he said that.But on the other hand, he was right. I'm a perfect woman and I don't deserve this man by my side. He has qualities that I like but that doesn't mean he is
before everything happened i already received a message from Bon. I'm still worried about him and I don't know where in the world he went. He just left a message from my personal nurse and I didn't think she was his best friend.The question that was bothering my mind was also answered. I now understand why she called my name formally and not like other nurses in the hospital.."I'm Wihelmina, Ms. Hera. It's just mine, for short." He introduced me.At that time I was still in the hospital. Adante and I have not gotten along very well yet and he rarely visits me.I was sitting in a wheel chair facing the open window and feeling the cold wind blowing."Who are you really? I know someone sent you here to watch my every move am I right?" I pointed at him weakly while closing my eyes.I heard him grin and step closer to me."That's where you're wrong. I'm too weak and fragile, to be your guardian. The truth is, I'm Bon's friend. He's my best friend." He said softly with a smile on his lips
The young man, Adante, has been discharged from the hospital, but he still visits Hera in her room every day, causing them to bond with each other.Little by little, he is getting the girl's trust and will. It seems that the hard and stone-hearted Hera has been tamed by a mischievous young man and romantic Adante.Although the girl is still often pushing him and yelling at him, he just tolerates her and thinks about her well-being. But what he didn't know was that it was just the girl's way of not letting him know the shame and trepidation he felt every time he heard her voice.After more than a year, Hera was able to return home and return to the former mansion where they stayed when her parents were still alive.He is still changing and he is not very skilled, so he has lost the ability to see and he only uses a metal-stick as a stick everywhere he passes.Adante is still always there for him and he doesn't leave his side, especially when the two of them go out.The inside of the ma
