The police greeted the two couple which made Daniela smiled as she entered the entrance door and Philip was walking behind her carrying some thing that the baby needed.However, Selene in the arms of Daniela was awake, sucking a small bottled milk. She was silently fulfilling her stomach. A police woman came after them and she smiled as she saw the two couple."Ma'am! Sir! Take your seat." The police woman uttered that Daniela immediately followed. She laid the baby in her lap while Philip sat beside her. "What is your purpose sir for visiting us?" The police woman added.Philip did not waste a time and he spoke gently."Ma'am, I would like to ask if there are some people looking for this baby girl?

The police woman asked trying to get some information about the baby." Its been 8: 45 when I found her outside. She was lying under the trash bin that become her shelter for a while" He replied.The police checked the clock and she spoke after. "So the baby lost for only eleven hours since you found her. And we need to blotter her after thirteen hours more because that is the policy."Daniela shrugged her eyebrows as she spoke."So what we should do? Are we going to leave this baby here or we gonna take her as long as the parents did not come to look for her?" The police woman opened a log book and she gave it to Philip."Ma'am, Sir, write your name on it and please log in your personal data so we can contact you anytime. But for your question Mrs. Montreal, because you are couple and you also found her, you can be a temporary guardian of this baby until the parents are unknown. But for a meantime that the baby is in your arms, we will make an action to seek for her parents. Maybe there are some reason behind this."After a moment, the police woman stood."Mrs. and Mr. Montreal, please excuse me for a while." The police woman added and she walked away to find something in the counter.Philip took the pen and he wrote his named on the log book and his details which followed by Daniela.At that moment, Daniela felt a glanced of hope in her eyes as she heard the good news from the police officer. But, there was some bad news that suddenly blow her mind away."Daniela...Are you okay?" Philip asked his wife as he saw Daniela suddenly became pale."Ye-yeah... I'm still okay..." Daniela replied stammering. She smiled briefly after a moment of pause to avert the attention of Philip to her. However, might Philip knew her wife better cause of the long years that they have together."Daniela I know there is a problem. What's that?" Philip asked his wife again seemed that he was not agreed on what he heard."Sigh. I'm happy to hear that Selene will be in our guide for a while, but what if tomorrow her parents came and claim her as their daughter? I think I can't imagine the life after that again." Daniela spoke with a low tone of voice.Philip moved his body toward Daniela and he tapped her shoulder as he spoke toward his wife."Don't think that Daniela. We both know that she need her real parents. But for now, all we can do is to cherish the day that we have her." "..." Daniela was speechless as she made a glanced at Philip felt the sadness of his wife. He looked down and he moved away his body from Daniela.Thud!Thud!Thud!The stamped of the feet were heard that caught the attention of the two Philip raised his head and he saw the police standing near them."Sir, we will contact you if there is a information about her parents. Thank you for your concerned for the baby." The police spoke that made Philip to nod his head.After a while, Daniela and Philip was seen walking out the police station. There were no traced of emotion on their face as they entered the car.When they were inside, Daniela took a deep breath and she played the little fingers of the baby. However, Philip took the direction which lead them to their home."Philip...Are you going to do your work today?" Daniela asked while playing Selene's soft skin."I'm not. I want to take care Selene for a short period of time. And I'm sure that we don't have such a time like this before so I will be with both of you until the baby's parents are not there for her." Philip replied while his attention was on the drive way.Daniela nods her head as she heard what Philip saying. She smiled secretly as she kept on playing with the baby.At that moment, the two couple forgot their past argument and they focused themselves with Selene.Their car continued taking the way toward their home. Philip turned the car to the left lane to avoid too much traffic in the highway since the hour that they arrived was the moment that the busy cars were going through their destination.And that was the thing that Philip always do if he needed alternative way back home."BRAKE!"Daniela was shocked as the moment that she would threw down Selene as Philip suddenly stepped the brake. The car stopped immediately that made Daniela moved herself forward. When the car stopped, Daniela could not stopped herself to get mad toward her husband."Gosh Philip what's wrong with you? Did you know that Selene is nearly to fall when you step the brake?" Philip kept on holding the steering wheel as he spoke. With a pale face, he could not imagine what he did."Sorry, but I think we hit someone." Philip replied worrying."WHAT!?" Daniela uttered seemed like she was surprised on what Philip told to her. As she added, she looked backward while nudging the soft body of the baby on her lap. But her eyes were frightened as she could not see anyone around.She averted her gaze to Philip and added."T...then look for him." She said trembled in her voice.Philip looked around as he replied. His knees rumbled as he moved himself."Wait me here. I will check him." Philip immediately get out to check the old man while Daniela wished that the man would never get too much injuries.Philip looked over the car, he looked for the man everywhere but he could now see the man. He scratched his forehead as he could not see him."What's going on Philip? Is he okay?" Daniela asked worrying but Philip shook his head.Daniela widened her eyes as she saw the reaction of her husband. She don't know if she would run outside to check the man or not because she thought that the old man was dead."W-what? Is h-he dead?" Daniela murmured that quickly understand by her husband.Philip go back to the car after reviewing all the corner of the lane. When he sat on the chair, he spoke gently."Don't worry. I didn't not see him around. Maybe we acted to much that's why we did not see him walking out." His voice seemed to be better as he realized that there were no one that been injured."Sigh. Thanks God. Do you mean the man is safe. Isn't he?" Daniela took a deep breath as she asked as she heard that no one was injured. Philip nods his head and he continued driving the car. However, he could not imagine how the man suddenly disappeared instantly at the moment that he looking for him. Because he saw in his naked eyes how the man get over the car after he hit him.He recalled everything that happened a moment

However, Daniela was finely sitting on the cushioned sofa near the crib where the baby was finely sleeping."Ringgg..."The telephone rung as he opened the door. Daniela and Philip's attention were caught by that sound that suddenly made their heart pumped very fast. They both averted their gaze at the telephone and they looked at each other after a moment of pause. Seemed that they knew what was the meaning of that sound.Daniela did not waste any time and she immediately stood. She quickly took a couple of stepped toward the center table which the telephone located to know the news that it could tell to them.Daniela held the phone, but before she answered the call, she took a deep breath."Sigh." She sighed and she looked at Philip who stopped next to the close door."Hello?" Daniela uttered to get the attention of the caller in the other line."This is police officer Eleazar. And togeth

Daniela uttered while caressing Philip's back."Thank you, Daniela. Someday you will understand why I'm telling you this..." Philip replied, but before he ended up his words, Daniela suddenly departed from his body and gave him a torrid kiss that tasted sweet like honeydew. The sweetness of that moment made Philip stop talking and get into the flow of the heat that embraced them."Tsup!"The sound of their kiss killed the silence between them. And before Daniela set free their lips, she smiled sweetly and uttered."Enough. I do understand." Daniela briefly uttered, that made Philip fade his fear away and smiled like Daniela. They both looked at each other until they heard a slight whine from Selene. Their attention was caught by her and they smiled back at each other."I think baby Selene
As the car moved toward the front yard, Daniela saw pure green scenery around the mansion. The wide garden and the trees growing around it. Daniela felt frightened as she saw the forest at the back of the hacienda."Philip, what if elements are living in that forest? I'm scared." Daniela said while wandering her eyes around."Haha. Do you remember what you said to me? It's 2023 and the elements are just an imagination hahaha." Philip could not restrain laughing as he replied to Daniela."Piece of shit!" Daniela uttered, and making Philip laugh."Okay, sorry haha. That's a dark forest. No one goes there because of some humor." Philip uttered, that made Daniela roll her eyes.At that moment, Daniela felt annoyed and she wanted to pinch Philip when they heard someone greeting them outside the car."Good Morning ma'am, sir!" An old woman greeted them happily. She was in her late 50s. She was standing on the other side of the car where Daniela was located. She waited for the items of bagg

Many people gathered inside and out as the party began. There were lots of balloons and flowers. Aling Linda and the other servants were busy welcoming the other visitors. "Blow your candle Selene, and make a wish!" Daniela happily uttered while staring at Selene, who was celebrating her seventh birthday. She becomes the apple of the eyes of everyone in her red balloon dress. Her fair skin glowed because of that.Selene closed her tantalizing eyes and whispered in the air to make a wish. And before she opened her eyes to blow out the candle, a cold breeze suddenly blew that made the candle lose its fire."Mom, the candle died again ..." Selene uttered while pouting her lips, as if she had been disappointed at what happened.Philip quickly gets some lights to light up the candle. "Don't be sad, Selene. Your daddy will light it up
"Speaking of which, maybe Selene is just imagining someone she love to be like her favorite manga character. That's why she tells us that kind of thing. We know how imaginative she is. Sigh. She makes me feel worried." Daniela uttered as she saw Selene running away. "Hihihi. Selene is smart and talented. She knows how to describe people around her. But the man that gave this flower to her, I think he is one of the town's people. Because people like her are so generous." Philip calmly replied and continued watching Selene having fun again. "Anyway, I will keep her gift in her room. Please excuse me." Daniela said and she stood to call Senya who, sitting in the next table near them. Senya stood and Rosa helped too to carry the bags of birthday present. At the moment that Philip was alone, he thought about the wishes of his daughter. He did not know how to make it come true, but for a very short period of time, he thought that he could tour his daughter around the hacienda. And the wh
"Tsk. Bored." Selene muttered as she kept her eyes on Jenny. From far, she saw Jenny running away toward her mother. She kept on standing . Suddenly, she heard a stroke of sound on the top of the tree. She glanced above but she did not see anything. She averted her gaze at the tree and continued playing by herself. "Whooss..." Selene suddenly looked backward as she felt a cold breeze behind her. "Jenny, did you come back? Do you want to play hide and seek again?" Selene said while wearing a sweet smile as she looked back. However, she could not find anyone behind her. She peeked behind the tree and she uttered. "Jenny, are you there?" She asked, wondering, but still she could not see anyone behind. When she could not see anyone, she went back to the place where her playground used to be and continued playing when... "Thud!" She heard a loud sound coming behind the tree again. She shrugged her shoulders as she thought that it was just nothing but a piece of twig. Howeve
"Father! Can you please stop telling us that kind of shit?" Rosa uttered, rolling her eyes. She heard her father telling her creepy things about the place. She caressed her arms as she felt goosebumps appear on her skin."Rosa zipped your mouth," Jenna whispered to her younger sister. Senya secretly smiled at her two sisters. Philip shook his head and he laughed inside his mind as he thought about what Daniela looked like when afraid."Why are you smiling, huh!?" Daniela asked her husband as she saw Philip's shoulder moving."Nothing...You look like a kid who heard a creepy horror story. Your face is so pale. Hahaha." Philip could not restrain laughing as he revealed why he was laughing suddenly.Strike...Daniela stroked the shoulder of her husband. She rolled her eyes and pretended that she did not feel any fear towards Manong Alex's story."Duh! I'm not. What do you think of me?" Daniela replied, making Philip giggle. And before the two fought about the nonsense, Selene suddenly in
The bluish color of the round ball still floating in the midst of the air. It caught the eyes of Celyn who still wandering where was the end of that place. She felt that she was too far enough to keep herself following that mysterious things that flew in circular motion before her. She slowly made a couple of stepped while staring at the three ball to know where they go. Celyn was too busy enough because she carried away by the mysterious things that caught her attention that time. While she making her distance, she looked around to know the things that surrounded her. As she bringing her eyes around, she was amazed on what she see, the wonderful place that she could not compared as the beautiful starry night in the land of the Monandria. She know how good to stare at the sky at night but when she looked around, she suddenly felt the universe goes down to meet her inside that incredible and magnifecent place where she was.

Kringgg...Another day had come and Selene's alarm clock was heard again. She woke up and sat on her bed with half awakened eyes. She continued to rub her dark eyes with a line of green color on her pupil. She suddenly felt the sweat running her body even though the room ambience was cold. She remembered her dream, the bad dream that she had looked like the next chapter of her dream last night. She looked around and the surroundings were still dim inside her room and, because she wanted to enlighten her room that day, she made a couple of steps toward the glass window near her bed. As she got closer to the window, she groped for the light switch and turned it on. Her room was shown as the light bulb enlightened the entire room. She walked six meters away from it, and went to the cabinet made of wood. He opened it and took her bathrobe inside. She stared again at the square-shaped clock that hanged on the bluish painted wall and she began to be shocked as she realized that it was a

As she added, she cried and embraced Selene's body."I-I saw them... they are many... Huhuhu..." Maine could not help herself not to spoil her story as she started to feel comfortable in front of Selene's family. She cried and cried while clenching her hands into fists."What!? Are you sure that they are dead?" Daniela felt frightened as she heard those stories from Maine. Selene felt frightened also as she remembered the shadows she had seen that morning.Maine nodded her head. She stared at Daniela and spoke, "Yes, I saw them with my naked eye when I walked toward her. They are all helpless and their bodies lay on the vacant lot near this subdivision." "Senya! Call the police. We need to report it immediately." Senya quickly took the t

The people inside the house came and the light was turned on to rescue her.Selene grabbed her chest as she looked back and she saw Jenny who was standing behind her, wearing a grinning face. "Jenny! You scared me!" Selene almost cried as she spoke, which made Jenny scratch her head. Her face was pale and the beads of sweat were forming on her forehead. Her knees were still shaking because of that shit."Selene, Jenny, what's wrong?" Daniela quickly walked toward them. There was fear that she was in her face as she felt worried toward her daughter."Nothing mom...Jenny just shocked me. I'm so sorry for interrupting all of you on a sudden." Selene humbly spoke. "JENNY!" Jenna's voice made Jenny look in the direction where the source of sound was coming from."Um...can I walk out? Hihi..." Jenny ut
"Jen! Is he Severus?" Selene asked, which made Jenny look at the outside, but because the car was moving, she looked at the back but she couldn't see anything there."Selene...I think you are so in love with Sev. I see nothing other than the barkers standing in the island" Jenny said while putting her finger under her chin as she kept on looking at the back."Nah. I'm swear. I saw him a moment ago." Selene replied, emphasising her words. "And if you see him...Then what's now?" Jenny asked as she went back to her seat."Sigh. Do you get me...?" Selene replied, but before she continued, Jenny shook her head."Phew. Did you notice that he is so fast?" Selene added, which made Jenny laugh."Fast as how you fall in love. Yohooo." Jenny teased Selene by making a funny posture out of her face."Sigh. Let's move on." Selene uttered and she let Jenny make fun out of her words. She tackled her head on the window and tried to ignore Jenny.And after a few minutes, they reached their home. Sele
"Hey, wait for us!" Jenny kept on shouting but Selene continued walking until she reached the first floor. When she was finally satisfied with her distance, she sat on the bench to wait her two friends again.Hufff...Hufff...Hufff...Jenny and Maine panted under their breaths as they reached the location of Selene."My gosh Selene. Are you trying to make me tired?" Jenny said and her breath was panting as she put her hands on the top of her knees."Jenny, you know you can be our athlete of the year." Maine added, and she scratched her messy hair."I'm so sorry for not waiting for both of you. I just want to get out of that kind of situation." Selene replied, clenching her hand and she felt pity for her friends."Sigh. Speaking of which, why did you suddenly react when Severus said about the bitter coffee? Is there something that you did not tell us?" Jenny asked, and Selene felt nervous. "Nothing..." Selene replied, seeming like she was hiding something. Jenny poured her lips and s
