I slowly opened my eyes because of the heavyweight that I am feeling. I also felt pain in my cheek and head.
When I finally opened my eyes I was so shocked. I was in an unfamiliar room.
"Thanks God you're awake!" Michelle's worried face flashed at me. She also quickly poured water into the glass and handed it to me.
"Drink this," I weakly took the glass, and as she wanted me to do, I drank its contents. I smiled at her after. I also handed her back the glass afterwards.
"W-where am I?" I feel my weakness based on the tone of my voice.
"I brought you in my condo." Her face was still worried.
"Mich ... thank you for helping me." She smiled at me. She also took my hand and squeezed it slightly.
"You're always welcome Syd. You're like a sister to me, and I'm willing to do all I might for you. Just don't hesitate to
It was exactly five o'clock when I got home. I slowly opened the door to make sure Sunny couldn’t see me. Especially since there are still bruises on my face."Momma!" I was so shocked when Sunny greeted me as soon as I opened the door. I was grabbed by my chest in shock."Momma what happened to you?" Extreme concern began to draw on my daughter’s face."Momma, what's this? Where did you get these bruises? Momma!" I didn't know how to answer her because tears started to well up in her eyes."B-baby calm down, okay? Momma's fine." I calmed her down. But she just shook her head as her tears continued to flow."Is this the reason why you didn't get home last night? Who did this momma? Why did you let them hurt you like this momma? Momma why?" I gently touched her cheek to calm her down from her crying. I also hugged her tightly because I kne
It's been two weeks since Andrew and I last talked. Since then I haven’t had any news of him yet, except that Michelle said he was abroad, with Belle and aunt Fely.I also heard that their wedding was on last week of October, which is next week. It was the wedding of Andrew and my cousin Belle. Well, I'm happy for them. It's okay for me because I am happy and contented with my daughter, Sunny. She's much better compared with anything else.Aunt Fely didn't bother me anymore, probably because I gave in to her wanting me to stay away from Andrew for Belle.Today is Sunny's sixth birthday! We were celebrating her birthday in Jollibee—at her favorite restaurant."Momma!" She just came out of the room with Grace. She's wearing a barbie dress. I bought her dress three days ago at the mall. She loves barbie so much that's why she's happy wearing it.
I am here today at the Claveria's mansion to talk to Andrew. Today is their wedding day but I don't care about it, all I care now is to make my daughter happy.Its been a week since I found out that she's suffering a blood cancer. Each day that passed seemed like a sharp dagger being slowly thrust into my heart. It is painful to see with your own eyes the condition and suffering of your child.If I could just take the pain that Sunny is feeling ... I hope I did. Each day was a torture for me, seeing my beloved daughter enduring her pain.—and as a mother, I don’t want to be selfish, especially now. I want to fulfill her wishes. I want my daughter to be happy. I want her to be strong... not even for me, but for herself."Oh my God! Sydney!" Michelle who immediately greeted me with a tight hug. We haven't talked for almost a week because I'm busy watching over Sunn
"I'm sorry if I believed what I found out right away, I thought you were actually aborting our child."Extreme remorse could be seen in Drew's voice and eyes as he said those words.I sighed and turned my full attention to Drew."It's not the right place and time for us to talk about that thing Drew." I seriously respond to what he said. He just nodded at what I said.We have a lot to talk about our past, but I don’t think it’s the right time yet. We are still in the hospital and we are waiting for Sunny's recovery.She is sound asleep now while Drew and I are at the foot of her bed. From then on Drew never took his attention away from Sunny. I never thought this is how you feel when you see two important people in your life happy."Aren't you still going to answer Belle's call? Sunny is already asleep, it's oka
"Why did you let them take our daughter, Drew?" Anger and extreme concern are what I feel now for myself and for my daughter.I promised to accompany her and protect her against anyone, but I did not do so because of my negligence. I'd chose to go home than stay with Sunny."I'm sorry, I fell asleep." His response was weak. I can also see that he still doesn’t seem to be on his own. I have nothing else to blame here but myself. Maybe Drew is right before, that I am a worthless mother for our daughter. I'm such a worthless momma for her."But don't worry—""You said that before, Drew! But what happened? Did you do something? Drew our daughter is sick! Sunny is sick!"I couldn't control my emotions so I shouted at Drew. I'm in a m
"What's this for?" I asked Andrew a confused question after he put a body camera on me."Trust me, you'll need it." He said with assurance on his eyes. I just nodded and didn't ask any more questions."I'm scared—not for myself, but for our daughter," Drew was stunned as he made preparations for the other belongings we would need to go to the hideouts of Aunt Fely and her Mafia husband.Aunt Fely already texted me their address, and anytime we were going there. Here we went straight to Drew's mansion. There was no one in the mansion so we could easily get into Drew’s room."You have nothing to fear Sydney, because I'm here. I'm here for our daughter, and I assure you nothing bad will happen to Sunny." His eyes were convincing. I felt comforted by what he
"M-mom, D-dad?" I call them again. They were just looking at me and little by little was drawing a smile on their lips."S-Sunny?" My daughter did the same, her eyes talking as she smiled at me.I almost ran to where they were to give them a tight hug. But before I could even reach them a strength arm stopped me. When I looked back it was Drew's pleading eyes I saw. He's stopping me from reaching my parents' and daughter. Seems like he doesn’t want me to approach them."Sydney, I'm here." Drew said in a whisper. I turned my attention back to where mom and dad were, even my daughter.But when I looked back to where they had been before, I was so shocked...because it was a dangerous place where you could fall with just one wrong move, and they were no longer ther
"Sydney please? Don't put mommy in jail. I need her," Belle pleads with me. I would have liked to drop the case but I didn’t. I don’t want to let Aunt Fely alone with her sins. It's unfair, especially since I was separated from my parents for several years because of what she did."I wanted to Belle, but I'm sorry ... I can't give you what you're asking for. I want my aunt to learn from her mistakes." I was stubborn to Belle. I could see in Belle's eyes that she understood me. But still I feel sorry for Belle. Because he was alone in life. She’s only twenty, and I believe Belle is still a good person despite what she did to me as well."I'm sorry Sydney ... I'm sorry for all the troubles and pain that I've caused you." She seriously said. I smiled at her. I took her hand and gently squeezed it."It's ok
You and I, We Belong "You're spoiling me, Drew!" Sydney slapped me lightly on my shoulder as I showed her my gift for her sixteenth birthday. "No. It was just a simple gift." I smiled in response to her. "What simple gift? Excuse me, the size of your effort for this. Imagine, you designed my dream house! It's like I just said yesterday what my dream house is ... then look at this now! You already have it." She said excitedly as she observed the design of the house I had made. "Someday, I'll live you in your dream house." I smiled and told her. I was just surprised when she suddenly hugged me tightly. "Thank you, Drew. I was the luckiest woman on earth when you fulfilled that promise." She said tearfully. I smiled because of her great appreciation for the simple things I do for her. "Pro
"For you," I was surprised when Drew handed me three pieces of plastic flowers. He knew that ever since then I have been allergic to the smell of any flower. A smile immediately reciprocated to my surprise as I took in Drew's hand the three pieces of flowers."Thank you." I smiled and said as I touched what he gave me."Anything for you." His sweet answer thrilled me.Here we are now in the park, we are waiting for Michelle and Sunny. Michelle said that she would just follow Drew and me because we were going somewhere. She included Sunny because ever since Drew and I introduced Sunny to them, Michelle had hardly let her go. She really loves her niece that much, to the point that sometimes she almost sleeps at home just to be with Sunny."Where are we really going, Drew?" I hesitated to question
"Good morning Dadda!" Sunny quickly went to where her Dadda Andrew was. I just laughed at the way she let go of me to go to her Dadda."Good morning princess!" Drew greeted her warmly back. While smiling, he also picked up Sunny and kissed her on the cheek. It's fun to watch them squirm. It seems like a very beautiful scene I am looking at now, and the scene I am looking at now conveys an indescribable pleasure to my heart."So, you're a momma now, huh? Take note, your daughter is very beautiful and kind. She inherit from you," Mama commented smiling as she watched Sunny and Drew squirm."Good morning, Mom." I kissed Mama on the cheek then gave her a tight hug."Hays. My daughter is really still very sweet to this day." Mom smiled. I just laughed at Mama.
"What is my love thinking?" I looked at the source of the baritone voice from behind me. After the scene earlier, I thought of just coming to the terrace to think. Sunny also just slept so I went here alone. I never thought Drew would follow me. Alots of questions confuses my mind. How much I wanted to ask my parents, how they survived, and why they just showed up to me. And why Drew knows them. But I didn’t have the courage to ask them that. I do not know. I took a deep breath before answering his question."Nothing. I'm just happy." I smiled in response to him. He hugged me from behind then he sniffed my hair."You still smell so sweet darling." He said sexily. I laughed when he said that."You're still the same, you always fooled me." I said laughing as I widened my eyes. I heard him chuckled because of what I s
