“What’s between Mom and Dad?” Cohen threw a question.

Williams gave him a side, but dangerously stared, and with a disgusted expression. “Have you never seen them together, or you never seen the way Dad used to look at Mom?” He said in a questioning manner. “Isn’t it obvious that Dad loves Mom but can’t express himself?”

“Oh.” Cohen made a sound, unable to add another word.

Williams cast his face downward in guilt, wearing a pitiful expression. “I always pity Dad, and I dislike myself for not being able to help him. He is a smart person and is never afraid to speak his mind, but I don’t know why it’s so difficult to speak it to Mom’s face and express his feelings for her. I just don’t know what’s holding her back.” He poured out.

“You don’t have to blame yourself, Williams. It’s not your fault, what will be will be. If Mom and Dad are meant to be together, they will be. It can’t be forced. What will be will be.” Cohen said.

“You’re right, but I am against that…” Williams let out as he

    “Please, tell me who you are.” Williams requested in a cool tone.Cohen blew a soft air through his mouth and stared downward for a second. He raised his gaze and looked at Williams in the face. “You’re just recovering. You shouldn’t be troubling yourself. I am who I am and you will soon know me even if you don’t want to get closer to me. Believe Mom and everything will soon be clear to you,” he calmly persuaded him, maintaining eye contact. “Just a little more time and you will understand everything.”Williams scoffed. “Why do you and Mom keep repeating the same? Why soon and not now? Why can’t I know everything now? I hate suspense. Just tell me what it is,” he said in a pleading manner. He wanted to raise his voice already but calmed himself. “If not because of you, I’m sure Mom would have told me and now that you’ve instructed her to keep quiet, I am sure not even my tears can convince her…”“I wish Dad is here. He is a straightforward person. Since it seems important I know, he w

    “I do, Williams,” Cohen nodded. “I understand every word you say, but you need to calm yourself. It’s just a matter of time before things get well. I believe everything will soon fall into place and what it meant to be will be.”Williams blew a soft air through his mouth. “Okay,” he said, joggling his head. “I understand what you are saying, but we’re viewing things from a different perspective. If you don’t understand me like I expected, I will calm down and hope things will fall into place, but it shouldn’t be the wrong place. Things need to fall into the right places,”“I will keep praying it won’t be too late for Dad. I want him to use his opportunity now that it seems Mom hasn’t been seeing another guy. All I want is just for them to be together. I want Mom to look at Dad’s side because he deserves her. I can’t stand Dad losing her to someone else.” He spoke in a low, pitiful voice, with his face cast downward a bit.Cohen placed his right hand on Williams’s left shoulder and use

    “Calm down, Williams. I will do all I can to help. Just take your mind off all these. It’s part of your concern, but shouldn’t be your priority. This is an adult matter and you should lessen your worry about it. Mom, Dad, and any other person involve will take care of it and whatever the result it, I am sure you will be put into consideration and it won’t affect you. Just be calm and watch.” Cohen persuaded.Williams sighed. “I wish I can, but I just can’t do that. It’s difficult for me and it always disturb my head.” He voiced out.Cohen put his hand at the back of Williams’s head and drew him closer. He rested Williams’s head on his shoulder and patted his back. “I may not feel you, but believe me when I say I understand you. Just be calm. Don’t be nervous and make adults’ business less of your worry,”“Will you do that for me?” Cohen inquired.“I’m not sure I can,” Williams spoke out, adding, “but since I also request a favor from you, I will try to return it. I will try to do it. H

    Patricia carried the food tray in her right hand and closed the door with her left hand. She walked closer and placed the food on the cabinet beside the bed. “This is your meal.”Williams turned around and before he could lift his head from the pillow, Cohen was already on his feet to help him.Cohen picked up the pillow, placed it on the wall, and relaxed Williams’s back on it. “Are you okay like this?” He asked and Williams joggled his head.Cohen looked at Patricia. “Will he eat by himself?” He asked.“I don’t know,” Patricia responded. She glanced at Williams and asked. “Will you eat by yourself or let me feed you?”“I haven’t fully recovered so, I can’t eat by myself, but I don’t want you to feed me,” Williams said. He raised his chin to look up at Cohen’s face as he wore a smile and requested. “Please, feed me, sir.”“Hun!” Cohen didn’t expect that. He had a second onetime glance at Patricia’s face and stared back at Williams’s face. His voice stammering excitedly. “Ye… yes, I…

    “Finally, we’re back to the state! I can’t wait to see Dad!” Williams screamed at the top of his lungs as he stepped out of the airport main gate with his mother, Cohen, and Doctor Kelvin, taking their steps calmly behind him.“Hey, Williams. You can’t jump around like that. You aren’t fully recovered, so don’t stress yourself.” Doctor Kelvin cautioned with a raised voice so his voice could reach Williams.Williams instantly stopped and, with his hands rounded over his waist and his lips tightened, he glanced backward and raised his chin to look at Doctor Kelvin, who just arrived in his front with a step interval. “No more injection, right?” He threw a question.“Hmm…” Doctor Kelvin made a sound, his lips tightened, as he raised his chin, pretending to be thinking about the response. He looked at Williams’s face and layered his face with a smile. “I can’t say for now,” he responded. “Your health improvement will determine and even if there are still injections to take, I can assure yo

    Charlotte rushed into the hospital behind her, and they approached the first nurse they came across as they entered. “Please, my son, Lucas Cohen. Where is he? I received a call that he was shot.”“He is in the emergency room. The doctors are still with him. They are operating him now.” The nurse explained and Charlotte took the first step forward to walk out of the nurse’s front while Anna restlessly ran after her.“The left side…” Anna told Charlotte the way, and immediately as they turned to the left and entered the corner, they saw Patricia, whose eyes were swollen because she has been crying since.Patricia was walking back and forth restlessly, saying prayers with her mind as she looked at the room every second, hoping someone would come out to give her feedback. She veered around and immediately as she saw Charlotte and Anna, she halted and stared at them until they moved closer to her.“What happened to my son?” Charlotte challenged immediately as they arrived closer to Patric

    “It’s obvious you’re getting better now…” Elsie made a joke immediately as she entered the room and met the nurse feeding Cohen tea with his back resting on the pillow that was placed on the wall to help him.Cohen took his mouth away from the cup, and a little poured on his chest.“Oh, I am sorry.” The nurse apologized with the transparency of fear in her voice. She quickly took a handkerchief and wiped the tea from his chest, still repeating, “I’m sorry, sir.”Elsie arrived beside the nurse and wore a smile. “It’s fine. You did nothing wrong. He took his mouth away.” She spoke calmly with the nurse.“Thank you, ma.” The nurse appreciated with her head swiftly curtsied twice.“And whose fault is it that it happened?” Cohen made a joke, trying to match up and return Elsie’s positive energy. “You caused it so don’t put the blame on me, madam.”Elsie cracked up and without saying a word about what Cohen’s said, she faced the nurse and directed her words to him. “Let me have the handkerc

    -THREE WEEKS LATER-“Finally, the day is here!” Elsie screamed at the top of his lungs as she laid her hands on the door handle. She already peeped into the sitting room to confirm everyone was there. Cohen was discharged from the hospital a day ago, so, she couldn’t hold herself back from letting more days pass before she revealed the secrets she had been bringing together for a while which became a whole with Doctor Thomas’s help.“Isn’t that Elsie?” Charlotte asked with her face furrowed, confused, and before anyone could give a response, Elsie abruptly banged the door widely opened, and she banged in, raising her voice.“The day to feed everyone with the fruit of what they sow is here…” She walked closer and stood in front of the TV so everyone would conveniently see her. She rounded her hands over her waist and faced her mother. “Mom, the day is here, and the evil among us shall be openly revealed.Cohen already had a hint of what was about to open, so, he said nothing and watched

    -THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

    Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

    “Who is here for me?” Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

    Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

    Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

    Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry.

    “Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

    -Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay.
