2021-04-07 21:37:31On my way to work, I saw Lorraine. I greeted her and she wished me good luck. It was fun having to experience a day with her. She is one of the few people who helped me to have a smooth transition of being an OT nurse. Before heading home, Lorraine advised me to check the posted schedule I have this month. "Go check your schedule, starting tomorrow, you'll be working without me supervising you". Then she bid goodbye and exited the theatre. I took my phone and took a photo of my schedule then immediately head back home. All day, the mail still lingers in my brain, hovering my mind this entire time. How dare him made that kind of threat.
'Jess, I know you are in London now. By this time, I cannot do anything because of the restraining order that you pass in the court against me, not being able to visit my daughter. But I assure you, that I will do everything in my power to lift it so soon that you will regret this decision. I know I have made your life a little misera

Months have passed so fast that we already have to moved out from our hospital's accommodation to a place where Liz and I decided to live. It is a two bedroom apartment in the downtown, just a few minutes away from work. The place is great and not too shaby for both of us. We each have our own rooms and we have a bigger space where we can enjoy. A kitchen is a safe haven for me and suits my taste. Being able to survive this long in this new city has been a blessing for me. I am able to go through work without causing any trouble and being able to feel a little less than sober.My Althea is two years old now, and she is able to converse perfectly. She is very smart, talented and beautiful. Nick, on the other hand, miraculously vanished from the scene. Five months have passed and I never heard from him, he didn't even try to take Althea away which i am so grateful of. I think that Lord helped me to protect my family. Everyday, my daughter and I always bond over the phone.

As I reached home, I go directly to my room and changed my clothes. Washed my face and put on my night beauty regimen. Got to bed and immediately fall asleep. So deep that I entered my dream in a so vivid way. 'I was in the lobby scanning my notes from my sociology class, just reading important notes that I highlighted. Absentmindedly, I was looking at the group of friends from the opposite side of the building. They were talking so loud that made me so irritated. Then, I saw him---the man of my dreams. He was so handsome, the typical one that you'll easily fall in love with. Nick Richards. He's talking as if it is the end of the world. Then it becomes so blurry, like the fog is devouring him. A few more second and he was gone. Vanished from the scene'.Suddenly, I woke up from that dream. "what a weird dream". I kept on thinking what it was all about. Perhaps I just missed him. It has been so long since I haven't heard from him. And even so, we are still legally married.

"Jess? The court has decided to grant Nick the custody. He also filed for divorce", Atty. Gwen told me as she called me after my work. It is still in the middle of summer weather but I feel very cold all over my body. "Can we ask for motion for reconsideration, Gwen?", I asked her. "It is difficut Jess, specially you are not around here in Alberta. All of the rights are given to your husband". I am deeply wounded, hurt to my core. I couldn't believe that my precious daughter will be taken away from me. "What about child protection program? Nick is abusing prohibited drugs, can we make it as reason for consideration?" "I cannot guarantee that Jess, especially now that the court has given the final verdict". "What am I going to do?" "Ask for some time off from work and fly back here in Alberta Jess", she advised.I called home crying because of the news that Atty. Gwen informed me. My mother and father were both crying. Sobbing. All of us were shocked by the court's decision. I

I am in my deep thoughts while I am bording my flight. The flight attendant offered me a glass of cold water as she noticed my uncomfortable state. I was lost in a moment. I could not find a word to describe my feeling for today. It is as if I am walking towards uncertain things that I know I ended up losing. It's funny how I look back and easily remember how bewail I am with my current situation in life. During the flight, I am not at ease. I always thought about what would my shitty ex husband will do to my precious little one. The flight is not that long however I felt like it has been a century, sitting on this chair near the window, not hearing any words from home.I am thankful to Liz for pushing me in doing this without compromising the job that I left behind. After 2 hours, the plane has landed. Not a busy airport like London but it feels like hope. I grabbed my phone and gave Liz a call. One ring and she already answered, as if she was expecting a call from me

As the music hyped up, I was kind of drawn towards the dance floor when one beautiful and gorge
My one night affair Chapter 21: Drive away
I decided to wear a sage green colored dress with silky fabrics that hugged nicely to my curves. I paired with a long gold earrings that dangle almost to my shoulders, with my hair in their perfect curls and a good amount of make up to sum my look up. I feel different in this outfit, but I kinda like the way I looked right now. I grabbed my pair of heels and my purse. I checked my self once again in my mirror and I am happy that I agreed to this date. It is just 10 minutes to seven, when I heard someone is knocking on my door. I knew right away that it was John. As I opened the door, I was greeted by the most handsome guy I have ever met in his black suit and fresly shaved face. He is such a breath of fresh air. We made an eye contact that lasted for about a few minutes, none of us was saying a word-- like it was a staring contest. I break the silence and greeted him, "Hi John, you are early." I ushered him inside my apartment and offered him to sit down. "You look amazingly

Today is not like any other day. It was the very first day that I woke up so peaceful and happy after a very long and relaxing sleep. It is indeed true that time heals everything. And with the help of prayer, I am able to experience waking up to a beautiful day once again. I started my day with a shower and a breakfast then immediately drive my way to the hospital for work.I parked my car as usual and I walked towards the lobby. One familiar voice called me from behind. "Hey Jess, wait for me". It was John, the new medical director, who happens to be the guy I met from the bar few weeks ago. "Good morning, you look different today", he smiled as he greeted me. "Hmm, Is it a good different or a bad different. And good morning to you too, Sir", I replied. He chuckled and we both exchange our laughter. It was so easy to talk to him and to make a conversation with him. "A very good different. You look more beautiful, by the way", he teased me. I just blushed and I knew that it s
My one night affair Chapter 19: My Own Butterfly
John and I are now friends after the casual coffee date that we had last week. At work we often saw each other and sometimes exchanged greetings. As I am having shifting schedules, we only bumped into one another when I'm on my morning shifts or got out from graveyard shifts. He also continued to send messages to me asking how's my day, have I eaten yet, what am I gonna do, and so on and so forth. It was very overwhelming to know that he continues to do these stuffs after what I have told him about my past. Slowly, I am getting attached to every messages that both of us exchanged. May it be a random "hi" and "hello" greetings to a small flirty texts of "i miss you" and "I wish you were here". I started to develop some sort of feelings for him however I can't deny the fact that I am too afraid to start over again.The fear that lived in my heart haunts me every night. Each night, the face of my daughter and the time she was taken away from me gave me a melancholic moment. All
My one night affair Chapter 18: On the 7th street
I could hear my heart beats so fast like I am joining a marathon. As John delivered his speech, his eyes didn't leave mine. Except for the moments that he has to connect with the others. I suddenly feel like everything is in slow motion. His eyes, his lips, his body, the way he moves-- everything about him made me crazy in addition to the things that we did last week. I feel myself heated up, so I told my fellow nurses that I have to go back to the theatre. As I was about to leave, I heard John let out a sigh, like a sound of defeat. I just stared at him and slowly make my way out from the auditorium. I managed to exit and hurriedly go the Operating Theatre. My mind still in shock and slowly processed what just happened. Once I reached the OT, my supervisor asked me why I was there since the meeting was not yet over. "Oh I suddenly feeling not very well, maybe because I didn't eat my breakfast and it is past lunch now" "Oww then you better eat my dear. Don't want to get you sick. Se
