QUIVA "Why did we stop here?" I asked when I noticed he stopped the car and parked. Are we going on a date here? This is really a public space, although there are only a few people here today."Reminds me of the days we secretly spent some time together. Watching the sun and eating food delivery." He said. I smiled.When we both went on our separate vacation, I remembered that we used to meet here. This is our meeting place, apart from his condo and office. It's on the side of the road, has a nice view of the sun, and cold wind. We would just sit on the hood of his car or on the cemented barricade."Let's watch the sunset together." He said seriously. I looked at him for a long time, reading his eyes.I can see that he has something going on in his head. Even though we have another plan, which is to runaway if our parents oppose to us, I know he is nervous and apprehensive. I know he is still afraid of whatever our parents' reaction and decision is going to be.I inhaled deeply and s
QUIVA "No. That's hot, and will surely gonna be amazing, but no. I won't let you do that. You don't have to do that."Instead of being annoyed, I was satisfied with what he said. Damn this man! Even though I want to taste him, his respect for me made me don't wanna do it, and had me respect my self even more."Shame." He laughed."Go back to your seat baby." He said softly and lifted me up a little. I was about to crawl back but he stopped me. I was surprised at that but also smiled immediately."But give me one more kiss." he said then pulled me in for a kiss. I left his lap after."Where are we headed to?" I asked. Again, he didn't answer. His hand that was holding my thigh only moved. Instead of being annoyed that he didn't answer, it made me extremely excited. You're up for a surprise, huh?I looked at his hand holding my thigh. I traced his veins using my finger. He glanced at me for a moment because of that. I let him rest his hand on my thigh. He never removed it."Baby?" He i
QUIVA"What are you doing here?" I asked and looked around to see if hes with someone. Thought that Jane might be here too and that maybe they are on a date. As far as I know they ar fine why I thought they might be dating."Just passed by." He answered lazily. But I noticed he glanced at his older brother. I looked at Kalle, there was no difference in his reaction. Even so it has me wondering."Really?" I asked suspiciously. He just shrugged and snorted."Are you two out of money? Why is there no food on your table?" he said cooly. Teasing again."We're just waiting for our order." Kalle answered."Alright. I'm leaving now. You know the time." Trev said then lazily stood up and left. Suddenly appeared now suddenly left."What's that all about?" I heard Trev mentioned about time."Work. Tomorrow." He answered without looking at me. Played with the arrangement of the roses in the middle of the table."You have work tomorrow?" I asked disappointed. Even though he often stays at my condo
QUIVAThe collision was strong. I was pushed back. I thought I was going to fall. I was terrified for my child. Thankfully I caught hold of a cubicle door. Kept me from falling to the floor."Hey!" I shouted angrily at the woman. Her hair was covering her face and she's looking down. Wearing a blue dress."Watch where you're going!" I said trembling. Adrenaline is still rushing in my blood. My heart pounding hard from nervousness. I caressed my tummy. Feel if something's hurting in my body, luckily there was nothing. "Sorry." She only said in a hard voice, then started running away. I didn't even get to see her face."Hey!" I called out. Her sorry wasn't even sincere. I almost fell on the floor. She almost put us in danger but she just left like that. It's like she intentionally bumped me. It was onky us inside this room. Its spacious enough for ten people. How could it that she bumped into me? Does she have hatred on me? Or could she be drunk? But she doesn't smell like alcohol. M
QUIVAHe kissed me one last time before going out of the car. He opened the door for me. He immediately hold my hand, the other hand snaked on my body. He brought me to the crowd."Are we just going to watch?" I asked, raising my voice so he could hear."You want to buy?" He pointed to a woman holding a lightstick. I chuckled."You will buy me one?" I asked with a smile. He smiled."Yeah. If you want one.""Aren't you ashamed?""Why would I?""They might think your girlfriend's childish.""You're not my girlfriend." He said seriously which surprised me. I was silent for a moment. Stunned by him. I looked into his eyes as he watch me seriously. His lips closed and not moving.I opened my mouth to speak. "You're my wife. Not just my girlfriend." He said then smiled. I almost hit him because of his joke."Do that again. I'll leave you." I said threateningly. He just laughed at me.Some people looked at us because of his laughter. You take a guess. Women. Women looked at him. I glared at
QUIVA"Come here. Sit on my lap." He said. I immediately shook my head and pulled him to stand."Baby, stand up. I'm fine. You'll hurt your knee." I tried to pull him up, but he didn't even shift."I'll be fine. Sit down for awhile. Just a moment. It's okay." I was the one who got pull. I couldn't do anything but sit on his lap. I felt people's gazes."Hope all!" I heard the woman behind us scream. I turned to her and laughed."You have Carl!" The woman next to her said. She was pissed by the name mentioned. I think they are friends. The girl in the peach crop top who said hope all earlier shrugged her shoulders.Her face twitched. She rolled her eyes."He asked me to sit on his face. Not like that." She said irritated.We were surprised but then laughed. I feel sorry for her. I think we'll get along, especially Gina. They're jolly and you just heard their words, bold as ours."That's...""Wild." I agreed. Both knew what the woman was referring to.I want Kalle to order me to do that
QUIVAThe vocalist changed, it's no longer Trev and he is no longer on stage. Later on he was in front of us."Hey." He said casually. Wearing a black shirt with a hint of white jog lines. He was sweating and a little out of breath."You were good." Kalle said. My forehead creased. Trev raised an eyebrow."Good?" Trev said disappointedly to his older brother."Didn't know you're good at singing." I sincerely told him. He looked at me."Of course!" He answered arrogantly. I just shook my head. This guy really."A steal people's heart just with my voice. What more if I flash them smile? More so when if I get undres---"I cut him off quickly."Yet was never chosen." I teased. His expression changed. He looked at me evilly."She chose me. She just doesn't admit it." He said flatly then looked to one side. Like he's peeping at someone from afar.Then he suddenly returned his sharp gaze to me."Just because you're already been promised a marriage..." Its etched on his face that he was gonna
QUIVA"No." He said with a grin then quickly got away from me.A growl of complain escape from me. I extended my right arm. Urging him to join me."I will have a hard time. You go first, I'll go after." He said seriously."We'll only take a shower." I whispered."I know what you're planning, baby. Not gonna happen."I frowned completely. He used to love making a baby with me, now he's rejecting me."Up to you." I said sulking, and went into the bathroom. Immediately I lost my grouch when I saw the floor."You really don't want to go with me?!" I screamed smiling for him to hear."I do not want to." He said.I walked comfortably to the shower. No fear that I will slip. I don't know when he put it. It tickled my heart. The bathroom floor is filled with an anti-slip floor mat. It's a rubber with holes in it. I'm unlikely to slip in here.I turned on the shower. Let my body get wet."Baby?! You're not gonna join me here?!" I shouted again, hoping he might agree.He didn't respond to me so
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
