"HI," I said as I looked at unconscious Cresia in front of me. "How are you? I'm sorry if it took me too long to visit you today."
According to her doctor, Cresia's operation was successful, but after two days, she still hasn't woken up.
After putting the fresh roses on the flower vase in one corner of the room, I sat on the stool beside her bed.
I took a leave of absence at work to take care of her everyday. If only I could stay beside her all the time, I'd never leave her. But I have to take care of Leah, too.
It's been two days since she was in the hospital, but other than me, no one has come to visit her.

I WOKE up with the blinding lights surrounding me. I continuously blinked my eyes and allowed them to adjust to the bright lights.It took me a moment before I could finally open my eyes and look around. Everything around me was white. White wall, white ceiling, white light.Is this heaven? I asked myself. Am I finally here? Did I wake up in heaven?I realized I was lying on the bed. I tried to get up."Good morning—Oh my God, you're finally awake!"I immediately turned to where the voice came from. I saw a door open, and someone entered the room. It was a woman. She looked pretty on those white clothe

"YOU have to eat this a lot. You need to regain your strength."I slightly pursed my lips when my father placed a platter of sliced fruits in front of me. I was still in the hospital. It was only two days after I woke up.My father was nothing but attentive to me. He almost treated me like a baby. Aside from him, I was finally able to meet my brother, Alfred. He visited me yesterday and I couldn't believe how he welcomed me wholeheartedly in his life. My father and Alfred even asked me to move with them after I got discharged from the hospital. I was overwhelmed by their warm welcome."Dad…you just fed me thirty minutes ago," I said to him, pouting.My father asked me to call him Dad and I couldn't be any happier. I've been waiting for this momen

AFTER Lenos left, the door opened and Leah entered the room.She was holding a box of cake while walking towards me. Damn. I missed her. She looked cute in her baby blue dress and French braid. There was a shy smile on her face as her eyes finally met mine."Hi," she greeted me. "Uhm…this is for you." She smiled shyly as she handed me the box of cake.I felt my eyes tearing up as I stared at her. I wanted to hug her but I controlled myself. I couldn't do that. I knew everything about me that she learned from Lenos was also erased from her memory. She only knew me now as the woman who saved her."Thank you," I said, smiling. I took the box from her. I opened it and I was welcomed by a heart shaped chocolate cake.

"DAD, I'll go ahead," I said to my father when I saw him in the garden.He was having his morning coffee while reading a newspaper. He put down the newspaper on the table and looked at me.It's been three days since I was discharged from the hospital. I was now living with my father and my brother Alfred. I decided to get rid of my condo unit. As soon as I moved into my father's house, I already put it on sale."Are you sure you don't want a driver with you?" Dad asked me, concerned was written on his face.Since I started living with them, I got closer to my father and my brother Alfred. Everyone in this household was kind to me, especially my brother. He accepted me with a whole heart, and treated me like a younger sister even though I was older

"THANK you for the treat," Caren told me after the waiter put down two bowls of ice cream in front of us. We were inside an ice cream parlor right now.I smiled at her. "Nah. I should be the one thanking you." I glanced at the wrapped box beside me. It was my gift for Leah. I decided to give her a pink ukulele."It's okay," Caren answered, shrugging. "I don't have anything to do right now so I'm happy to help." She looked at the bowl of ice cream then turned to me. "Thanks for the ice cream."I smiled at her. "No, thank you, Caren."She suddenly stopped and looked at me. Her forehead was in a crease. "Wait… how did you know that my name's Caren?"Damn. Did I say her name?

"WHAT do you think, Dad?" I asked my father with pursed lips as I watched him eat the chicken curry I cooked for him.It was the first time I cooked since I moved here. I was not really good at cooking so I'm kinda nervous with his reaction.My father smiled at me. "This is the best chicken curry I've ever tasted in my life."I made a face. "Come on, Dad. You don't have to lie to me. I'm aware I'm not a good cook.""I'm not lying, hija," my father said. "This is really good." He said as he ate a spoonful of curry.I stared at the bowl of curry on the table. It was Lenos who taught me how to cook that dish. I smiled as I remembered that certain memory."

I STARED at the familiar Moroccan gate in front me while holding my gift for Caren.I couldn't believe I would still be able to step my foot on this household. But not as Lenos' girlfriend but just a random woman who saved Leah.I looked down at myself. I was wearing a white button up shirt and mint green pants and white block heels. It was a kid's birthday party so I decided not to wear anything black.I fixed my hair before I pressed the doorbell.It was Nana Ynez who opened the gate for me. "Good afternoon." She greeted me with a smile, but I didn't see any recognition in her eyes. Of course, just like everyone else connected to Lenos, I was also erased in her memo

"THANK you everyone."I smiled widely as I watched Leah speak in front of her guests. Standing a few meters away from her was Lenos.I stared at Lenos. I could see in his eyes how proud he was of Leah. I could see how he loved her with all his heart. I already witnessed that before and I continue to witness it now."Thank you to my friends for always supporting me." Leah pointed at the group of kids seated in the table near her.Most of the guests were Leah's classmates. I looked around. I couldn't see any familiar faces—wait…my forehead creased when I saw a familiar man a few meters away from me.That's Jethro—one of Lenos' college bestfriend.

"CRESIA." It was Lenos who welcomed me the moment I opened my eyes. He was sitting beside me while holding my hand."Lenos…" I felt hot tears streamed down my face. "I'm alive, right?" I look at his face. "You remembered me, right?"He nodded. "Of course," he said. I felt his hand on mine. "You just made me worried.""What happened?" I asked him, confused. I looked at his face. His eyes were red from crying. Why did he cry?"You passed out in the middle of the street," he answered. He brought my hand to his lips and kissed it while looking at me."Thank God nothing happened because I won't forgive myself…""I saw you with Kyla…" I said in a s

"CRESIA?"I was walking on the school grounds of St. Claire when I heard someone call my name. I looked around and then I saw Caren. She was standing a few meters away from me. I smiled at her and her eyes widened as she walked to me."Hi, Caren," I greeted her."It's really you," she said, her face still amazed. "What are you doing here?""I'm bringing lunch to my boyfriend." I replied with a smile. "He works here."I wondered if she'd be shocked if he learned that Lenos was the boyfriend I was talking about."How about you?" I asked her."This is where I study," she answered.

"HERE is a glass of margarita."I said as I placed a glass of cocktail drink in front of Lenos."Wow," he said, looking at the alcohol in front of him and then to me. "You're good at this, baby."I chuckled. "Come on, bottom's up."He grabbed the glass and drank it in one gulp.We were in Polaris tonight. It was still an hour before the opening so I decided to show Lenos how to mix drinks."When did you learn how to mix alcohol?" he asked after he placed the empty glass on the counter."Hmm, I was fifteen, I think."His lips parted and I bit my lips to stop myself fr

"GOOD morning, Dad." I greeted my Dad when I saw him on the breakfast table. He was already having breakfast."Good morning, hija," my father looked at me. "What time did you go home last night?"I pulled up a chair, sat on it and poured orange juice on my glass. "Almost two, I think." I glanced at the breakfast in front of me. I put some pancakes on my plate."I noticed your car isn't in the garage."I pursed my lips. "Lenos took me home last night."His eyebrows rose. "Are you two together already?"I casually nodded while sipping on my orange juice. "Uhuh…""Ma'am Cresia."One of our helpers entered the kitchen with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She handed it to me. "There's delivery for you."I immediately smiled when I saw it was black roses. I opened the card and saw Lenos' handwritten note for me.Good morning. I'll pick you up before dinner tonight.

"WHAT are you doing here, sis?" Alfred asked me when he saw me standing outside of my door. I smiled. "I'm just trying to sink into myself that one of my dreams finally came true." Alfred smiled at me. "You did it, Cresia." He said, then gently tapped my head. "Thank you," I sincerely said, tearing up. "This wouldn't be possible without you and Dad's help." I told him. Today was the opening night of Polaris. Alfred and my father came with me earlier this morning at the ribbon cutting. They even surprised me with a cake. And now, Alfred was here with some of his friends. Dad just went home earlier because he needed to rest early. "Nah. It was your idea and effort and money. We just supported you on the sideline," Alfred said. "We're proud of you." I chuckled to blink away my tears. "Don't make me cry. Just go back inside with your friends." I jokingly pushed him away. "Melissa was looking for you." I said, talkin

"WELCOME to my room, Aunt Cresia," Leah said as we entered her room. My eyes roamed around the room. She had a very princessy room. It suited her. I smiled when I noticed a portrait painting of her displayed on the wall. "How old are you in this portrait?" I looked at her. She smiled at me. "Oh, I was five there." Leah said as she sat on the edge of her bed. She hugged a unicorn stuffed toy we got on when we went to the theme park. "Thank you for the dinner, Aunt Cresia," she said, yawning. "I feel so sleepy already." She said in a small voice while scrunching her eyes. It was already eight in the evening. After pushing Lenos back to his room earlier this afternoon, Leah and I played board games in the garden. Then I cooked fried chicken for dinner. When I checked Lenos in his room, I still found him sleeping. It was a good thing he was having a long rest. I sat beside Leah. "You should sleep now." I gentl

"THERE'S still a space up here for another couch," Melissa told me while she was showing me around the second floor of the bar. "No," I said as I shook my head. "It's already perfect. I don't want it to be crowded." I wanted the interior of my bar to be chic and yet laid back. I looked around the area. We're almost ninety percent done with the interior of the place. Last week, I already made a deal with all the suppliers. I was also done with hiring people that's going to be my employees. I planned to start their training right after we finished with the interior. I smiled at Melissa. She's done a wonderful job in transforming this old place in just two weeks. My brother Alfred didn't lie when he said she was one heck of an interior designer.

"I HAD so much fun today, Aunt Cresia." Leah said. "I enjoyed the rides, especially the anchor's away."We were already on our way home. It was already nine in the evening. It was almost six when we left the theme park."Yeah. You're full of energy earlier, Leah." I chuckled as I looked at her from the rear view mirror. Leah was a ball of sunshine."And you got so hungry you finished two orders of fried chicken," Lenos said, he also looked at Leah from the mirror."Dad, I just missed eating at Jollibee," Leah answered, her lips in purse. "But now, I feel so full and sleepy." Leah yawned and leaned on the headrest.I looked outside. "Don't worry, my home's only five minutes away." We were already inside

CAN you ask your Dad what time should I leave the house?I typed on my phone before I pressed send. I pursed my lips as I put down the phone on my dresser.Today was the weekend I asked Lenos for a date. I was already dressed. Leah asked me to wear something peach because she said she's gonna do the same. So now, I decided to wear a peach midi dress and white sandals.My hair was tied up in a French bun. We were going to a theme park so I know my hair will get messy.Leah and I…we've been texting each other since the day of her birthday. Not a minute later, I got a reply from her.Daddy said we're going to fetch you.Reall
