QUIVA
I glanced at Nicholas, saw him looking at me with an angry face. I looked away to look at Trev who was also looking at me. I can see the heaviness and tiredness on his face.I thought of Jane, and the way she acted earlier. Maybe she has a big problem why she acted like that. She still has a grudge against Trev. I am also a little worried about her, why I decided to leave.I didn't say a word. Walked slowly to the door. I was about to leave but I heard Trev calling me. He ran towards me. I was surprised. Then he gave me a sad look. "Can you check her for me? She's really drunk." He said weakly. That's when I understood his gaze.I feel sorry for him. They are truly not yet okay. Jane is angry with him but he is still very worried about her. I nodded. I was gonna leave but I couldn't bear it. I turned to Trev again and whispered to him. "Can you check your brother too? He's been vomiting, maybe he won't stop vomiting." I whispered softlyQUIVAI stared cutely at the fries in front of me. I'm halfway finishing it all. I beat the kids. I might eat all their snacks.It's been two days since we went home from our vacation in Ilocus. I'm still thinking about what Nicholas did. He could have just made Trev take Jane home. Maybe he really wanted to drive her home because he's very concerned about her. He was cold at me, so maybe he really likes Jane, and doesn't really care about me anymore.Suddenly, every beat of my heart hurt. Damn, Nicholas. You keep hurting me.I'm at my sister's house. Planning to tell her about my pregnancy. For two days I was alone in the condo, I had a lot of time to think. I had a lot of thoughts. I need someone I can lean on. I need her help because I don't know much about pregnancy. She has two children and is older than me I'm very sure she knows about pregnancy."Sister..." I started. I picked up some fries and ate them. We're in their living room, sitting on a couch. I can feel her eyes on me.
QUIVAMy sister always visits me at my condo. She takes her children with her sometimes who I always annoy. She let me do my tricks, whatever that is I wanted to do because she said it was part of my pregnancy. She spoiled me with my cravings. When she was pregnant, she gets frustrated and stress whenever she doesn't get what she wanted.One time I craved food that I knew I could buy at a convenient store, so I left the condo. The 7/11 I was going to was right next to the condo building so I just walked. If I had known that I would see an evil creature on the road, I would not have gone out.The goddamn Criselda was outside 7/11. I think she followed me here and waited until I was done shopping. She was smirking looking at me.The way she looks at me made me nervous. She looks like she has an evil plan. Or that is how she normally look? Like a demon. Maybe."How are you? Did you had a great vacation?" She asked with her bitch tone and bitch face.I composed myself, not letting her kn
QUIVAHis eyes were fixed at me as he approached. He went to my side.We both heard running footsteps. When I glanced at where Criselda was standing earlier, she's gone. She's nowhere to be seen. I think she got afraid of Nicholas."Who's that? You were talking to someone?" Nicholas asked. Seems like he didn't saw Criselda. Maybe she was blocked from his view because of the parked car. You could only see her from my place.When I looked back at him I almost gave in. I want to hug him. Seeing his handsome face made me cry harder. I want to tell him how Criselda keeps starting a fight with me. I want to tell him the bad words that woman said to me. But I stopped myself. I remembered the most painful words said by that freak. She said he bedded her and had an affair with her. I was hurt and got angry with Nicholas thinking about it."Criselda." I answered rudely and sparingly.His face changed. I can see the worry and surprise on his face. He looked at me from head to toe. Checking if I
QUIVAI heard a woman's voice, its Gina. Knowing she's here made me feel a little better. She asked where I was. Trev told her I'm in the kitchen. I hear her voice approaching.When she saw me, she immediately signaled me with her eyes. Pointing at Nicholas and Trev. But when she saw me just sitting here and saw that I was not okay, she quickly approached me."Are you okay? What's wrong?" She asked whispering. She didn't need to whisper."I'm just dizzy. Why are you here?" It shows in my tone that I'm weak. She went to the refrigerator and took a pitcher of water. She poured me water into a glass and gave it to me."You look pale. Do you have a fever? Are you sick?" She asked quickly. I shook my head.Oh, right! She doesn't know I'm pregnant. I don't want to tell her about my pregnancy over the phone why I haven't told her yet. I want to say it personally. She's been busy with her work and everything why she couldn't visit me. Why I'm also surprised that she's here. She didn't tell me
QUIVAThe two watched us, Gina and Trev. Gina's asking me with her stares. Asking if I'm willing to talk to Nicholas. Probably so she could figure out a way to cast away Nicholas if I don't want to talk to him."Go home now." I said to him without even looking at him. I can feel his gaze."Q, do you have soju here? I wanna drink soju." Gina said loudly then wrapped her hand around my arm and pulled me back to the kitchen."You stay here for now. I'll take the two home. It looks like Sir doesn't want to leave you. I'll go out with them, looks like you don't have any alcohol here as well. I'll be right back." She said. I just nodded.I don't want to talk to Nicholas because I don't know what to say. And I might get dizzy again. I don't want another problem to think of. Maybe I'm stressed so much why I get dizzy. It's ten o'clock. I don't know if Gina and I will continue to talk. I’ll probably just sleep on her. I'm not really going to drink.Gina came back with soju, sprite, yakult and
THIRD P POV"What is it?" his older brother suddenly ask him. He forgot that he was right next to him and seemed to have heard what he said.He was going to lie to his brother but he thought of asking him. He might know a place or someone where they could buy sherbet. Q doesn't like ice cream that can be bought at a convenient store. Even if it's branded expensive ice cream, she doesn't like it because she's really looking for sherbet."Do you know where I can find sherbet? You might know someone who sells sherbet at this hour bro?" He asked his brother.He might ask who is he buying it for but he doesn't mind. He also wants to stress his older brother on thinking where to buy sherbet at this time because he should be the one who is stressed about Q right now.He is the father of the child Q is carrying but it is Trev who is having problems in Q's conception. He is itching to tell his brother the truth but he is not because he wants the truth to come from Q. He doesn't want to be the
QUIVA "Maybe she doesn't like the taste of soju." Trev said. We looked at each other. He was helping me."She's the one who introduced soju to me." Gina said. I bit my lip. You can't fool Gina Trev, when it comes to me. And its true, because of me, Gina started drinking soju."Is that so?" Trev said. "Maybe it's a different flavor, that's why she doesn't like it? Or maybe the person who made it isn't good at mixing it. I don't like it either to be honest." He said casually. I immediately looked at Gina because she was the one who made the mixture, I knew she would be upset."Don't drink it if you don't like it! You should have made the mixture. Make your own if you don't like my mixture!" She said flatly.Told you she will be annoyed. I signaled Trev not to annoy Gina. Trev moved closer to me, crouched down so he could whisper to me."You and your friend are both crooked." He whispered. I was immediately annoyed. I glared at him. The fool laughed."Your debt, huh? You might have forg
QUIVA"Bro, what kind of question is that?!" Trev shouted to his brother.I can't stop the tears falling down my cheeks. My heart fucking hurts. His question hurts me. His words are like arrows shot right to my heart.My whole body is shaking. If I hadn't leaned over and held onto the sink, I might have fallen. I saw Trev looked at my hands. He saw them shaking too."Shhhh. Calm down, Q." He tried to calm me down. I was startled by Nicholas' loud shouting."Shit!" He cursed loudly then stormed out. I was sobbing."Nicholas?!" I tried to call him out, stopping him from leaving. But I know he didn't hear me. Even for me, my voice is very weak."Where is he going?" I asked Trev. I want to chase Nicholas but I'm so weak, I can't move my body. My insides are panicking but I can't move. I feel too weak.I felt Trev caressing my back. It calms me down. Gina was standing still. Also shocked with what's happening. She looked at Trev's side, I don't know what she signaled to him. She quickly we
QUIVA"Full moon, bedroom, stars in your eyes.Last night the first time that I realized.The glow between us, felt so right.We sat on the edge of the bed and you said."I never knew that I could feel this way"Love today can be so difficultBut what we have I know is different'Cause when I'm with you the world stops turningCould I love you any more?"I smiled ever brighter and sweeter than before. Yes, I could love him any more. I know I will fall deeper to him after today. Every day of every hour of every minute, the more I get to know him, the deeper I fall. I will never get out of this hole. This deep hole in my heart filled with love for him.After all the challenges we've faced. For all the pain, resentment and anger caused by misunderstandings. There are people who tried to ruin our love for each other but they didn't succeed and will never succeed. Nothing, no one can break us apart.I know we will face more challenges, bigger problems, but I also know we'll get through it.
QUIVA "She was my fiancee because my family knew her family. It was just an agreement between our families. I did not choose her for me. And yes, you two are different from each other. I'm in love with you. And Jane is just a friend for me. You are the one I want to marry.""What about your parents? Do they like me?""They will. They do.""They met me as Trev's fiancee. What will they think of me? I hid that we were in a relationship. And I got pregnant early. They might think I'm a flirt–""They don't think like that. And I already explained everything to them. I told them that we had a relationship before you and Trev met, and before we knew the truth.""I'm just worried. What if they don't like me for you?""Mom likes you for me. She wants us to be together."I stared at him carefully."I'm really close with our Mom. I always open up to her. And one thing I always tell her, is our story. I've told her about you before. Even before you two met in person. I didn't tell her your name
QUIVAA smile stretched on my lips when I remembered the conversation I had with my father earlier.We talked, just the two of us."Do you really want to marry him?" He asked, looking stern while staring at our garden."Yes, father." I answered certain. Even though I knew that he will let us marry, I still got nervous when he called me to talk alone."Are you going to be happy with him?" He asked, this time staring into my eyes.I break down. Suddenly, I don't see the strict father I grew up with. The man I see in front of me, has soft eyes, gentle face and modest tone."Yes." I cried.He nodded slightly. Looked sideways. I saw how his eyes sparkled because of forming tears?"Then I have no reason to oppose."I then totally broke down in tears."Father," My voice cracked. He looked at me softly. His lips stretch forming a small smile.I ran to him to embrace him. He hugged me back, so I cried harder."Thank you." I said crying. I feel him stroking my hair."Anything for my daughter. A
THIRD PERSON POV "I can talk to my parents, Sir. If you will let me marry your daughter I can–" he cut him off."What about the family of Jane? Isn't she your fiancee?""I'll talk to her parents.""Do you think I will let you marry my daughter?""Sir... I love your daughter.""Does my daughter love you too?"Nicholas tongue was cut off by that question."Does she love me?" Nicholas asked to himself in his mind. He isn't sure. He doesn't know."No answer?" Marius mockingly asked. Nicholas gaze stayed glued on the floor. Swimming the depths of his mind if Quiva does love him. They haven't told their true feelings for each other yet. He is not sure if Quiva loves him too. If she's ready to be in a serious relationship with him. If she's ready to be in a relationship again."You don't have the answer?" Marius asked. Nicholas was apparently confused. He smirked."You don't know if my daughter loves you?" He taunts. Pressuring Nicholas further. Increasing the questions in his mind."If yo
QUIVA "Kalle?" I called him. I remember something from their conversation earlier."Hmm?" He answered."You talked to my father before?"He didn't answer right away. I could feel the loud beating heart so I raised my head to looked at him. He licked his lip, and gulp."Yes." He answered. It is I whose heart is pounding now."When? Why didn't you tell me? What did you two talk about?"He was about to answer but we both heard footsteps coming from the kitchen towards us."Krist? What are you doing here?" I asked surprised when I saw him walking out of the kitchen. I was astonished to see them used to his presence. I glance at Kalle, he is also surprised.Third Person POV"I recall, my brother never dreamed to become a professor. Why do I suddenly have a proffesor brother?" Trevor asked mischievously to his older brother. Nicholas smirked shaking his head. While pouring beer into their glasses."And why did you suddenly bought a school? What are you going to do there, Brother?"Nicholas
QUIVAMy mouth dropped, so as my heart. What the f*ck is this?! I told you so! This is what I fear! This is the reason why I want to run away from him! This is what I knew he would do! He will put Kalle in jail! He will be imprisoned!"You don't have to choose. Remember you promised me you'll stay with me forever. It's not too late to runaway, Kalle." I whispered to him, trying so hard not to let them hear what I said to him.He didn't answer me nor looked at me. They didn't cut their intense gaze at each othe."Kalle? Baby?" I tried to get his attention. I pulled his hand, pulled him towards me and almost grabbed his face just so he could look at me and listen to me."Leave my daughter? Or be imprisoned?" My father repeated. Tapping his fingers on the chair and shaking his feet."Kalle? You don't have to choose. Runaway with me like what we planned." I whispered to him. I kept trying to get his attention but he's not giving me any."I will not run away." He said low.I stilled. Stopp
QUIVAHis two men stayed. My shoulders dropped. He knows I was planning to run away."Calm down, Q. You're gonna be fine. Think about your baby. Don't panic, okay?" My sister said. Stayed here with me."How can I calm down?! He might do something to Kalle, or order him to do something out of his will!"She could only look at me."Hey... I'm going to be fine. We're going to be fine. Calm down. I'm not going to disappear. They can't take me away from you. Okay?""Let's go inside. So you can sit down." Said my sister. "First, you calm down. Have a rest then we'll go home. Nicholas take her inside.""Okay." Nicholas obeyed. He sat me down on the sofa. Didn't let go of my hand and eyes on me."You didn't check your phone. I warned you we were on our way!" She said bringing a glass of water for me.Kalle assited me in drinking even though I can do it by my own."I didn't know." I answered to my sister."Anyway, there's no use on lying right now. He already knows about the two of you. And do
QUIVAI swallowed hard. I look at him. His green eyes intently looking back at mine. In my head I asked him if he's sure. Is he really going to follow what I want? He didn't even hesitate at all in my decision. He read my mind."If that will make you feel better and safe. We'll runaway, but we'll come back. And promise me you'll let me talk to your father when time comes."Whenever he says he'll talk to my father I get nervous. I will never not going to be nervouss for that."Okay. I will.""Alright. Don't think about that post too much. Trev is now taking care of it.""Okay. We should start packing right now. We need to move fast. My father might be on his way, looking for us.""Alright baby. I'll get my things first, and call someone to prepare what we need. You take a rest."I nodded. He called someone to get the car ready. Then he contacted someone else to have a house cleaned up for our arrival. It seems like he's prepared. It's like he really prepared for our escape. Seeing how
QUIVAHe caressed my hand and looked at me intently. He was silent for a moment. I could see in his eyes that he was thinking deeply. I noticed that he still had a booger in his eye.Did he just wake up? Hasn't washed yet 'cause he was immediately greeted by a problem? Perhaps he couldn't even have time to drink water. I sighed to calm myself down.I'm hot headed right away its just morning. I still don't know what the problem is, yet I'm already in rage. "Who were you talking to?" I asked calmer. He kept looking into my eyes. He was still deep in thought. His mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something but didn't."It's Trevor." He said huskily. Something is really going on."Tell me the problem. Before I become your problem because I will loss my cool if you don't tell me what I just heard."He laughed a little. I'm serious about that. If he won't explain for too long, I don't think I will be patient and cool, instead I would start yelling."I will, but let's have breakfa
