Vish's P.O.VI had the feeling that it was really her. My heart tells that it was her. She is back. I paid someone to investigate. The first time I saw her, I already knew that it was her.After many days of waiting for the result, the investigator that I paid finally called to meet me.I am casually sitting inside this mini cafe where there isn't much people around.I was hurt when she didn't recognize me the first time we met after all these years. My heart ache so much after she asked who I was.And my doubts disappeared when I kissed her. Her lips tasted the same as before. It didn't even change a bit. Her lips still taste sweet. It's making me crazy and vulnerable. I wanted to have her in my arms so bad. I wanted her so much that I am paying someone just to do an investigation to make things clear.When I saw that bastard who was her former doctor, I already knew that it was indeed her.One thing that kept me out from believing that it was her was her grave. I saw her dead body g
"After trying different treatments, nothing has changed with your condition. In fact, it is getting even worse. We always fail every time we try different kinds of medicines. I'm really sorry, miss Robles. It is difficult to cure the disease that you have. It has already spread throughout your brain. But, let's not lose our hope. There is a possibility that you can still be cured. There are many other treatments we can try. We can also go through surgery too." The doctor clearly explained to me.I get even more depressed every time I hear from him that we failed every type of medicine and treatment that we tried to cure my disease."As time goes on, my chances of recovery are getting smaller and smaller, am I right, doc?" I asked in a low and weak tone.The doctor looked away from me.I knew what that reaction was supposed to mean."Doc, I have something to tell you," I uttered."What is it?"I looked down then casually played with my purse."After all, there is no certainty as to whe
"You were never a burden to me, why would you think that?" I heaved a sigh when she went silent. "Alright, if that's what you want. It's indeed better if you woll be studying in Italy. Mom and dad can give you all the things that I can't give you," I smiled sparingly."Really?!" My sister's voice cheered up. I hummed in response. "Thank you very much, big sis! All right, take a rest now. It's already late. Goodnight, thanks again! I love you.” The other line then ended the call.I looked at my cellphone screen.No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, it's always not enough.I let out a long breath.Too much disappointment for myself today. I indeed need rest.I went straight to my bed and lay immediately. Then I forced myself to sleep.***"Ahhhh!!" Liah and I screamed at the same time because of so much pain. Every time Liah's stomach hurts, she tightens her grip on my palm.My palm is already numb because she's been holding it tightly for almost an hour."You big fat bitch!!
I was smiling from ear to ear as I was walking towards the direction of Liah's room while looking at the black couple bracelet Vish just gave me.I am so happy that I am already smiling from ear to ear like a total idiot. Who wouldn't be happily thrilled if someone just gave you a couple bracelets and disguised it as a friendship bracelet? Even though he said it's just a friendship bracelet, I'm still happy anyway. No one can take away that little happiness of mine.Vish just drove me off to the hospital and then left. He just said he will come back tomorrow to check on Liah."Miss!" I stopped from walking when somebody said that. I turned to my left side.A girl sitting in a wheelchair in an open door of a room. I think she was about twelve or so. Her skin is very pale. Her lips and the under of her eyes are slightly dark. She is also very thin. Her conditions are emphasizing that she is one of the patients of this hospital.She doesn’t look good. She’s in a bad state, obviously.Sh
So the ending, I am fighting all alone. It's hard to fight alone but I can handle it. Been handling it for so long.I supported my body using the nearby wall when my head suddenly started to hurt and my vision started spinning. I held my head and closed my eyes tightly.It was so very painful. It's like my head is almost splitting in o much pain.I tried to walk away. I found a girls bathroom nearby. I immediately went inside and rushed to one of the cubicles.I sat on the closed toilet bowl and pulled my own hair.My eyes are spinning.I forced myself to take my medicine from my bag and just put it in my mouth then swallowed it without water.I am pulling my hair to ease the pain. I stayed in the bathroom until the medicine I took is slowly effecting.More than half an hour passed. Sweats is running down from my forehead.My headache just gradually disappeared and I felt better.I took a tissue to wipe the sweat from my forehead and neck.After a few minutes I fully felt better.I s
I think that lady just ordered something for take out. Maybe she won't stay long in the cafe.When I thought ten minutes had passed, I left the cubicle. But I immediately stopped walking when I saw the woman who came in earlier standing near the sink, obviousky waiting for me.It took off the shades when she saw me. I became more nervous facing her. I thought I finally get away from her. But I was wrong."Why are you hiding in there? You do not want to dare to face me? Why? Because you don't seem to have anything to show me after what you did?" Shee raised an eyebrow as she asked one question after another. She also slowly stepped closer to me until she was already in front of me.I didn't dare to move. I just stayed in my position.I looked up at her even though I already to wanted to run away from her. I feel like I want to cry because I am so nervous.Every time I see her face, I remember the moments she didn't do anything and just let me be miserable.She saw a lot and she knows a
"Things happen when you least expect them. You shouldn't be regretting your life choices. Instead, cherish them. Either they were the worst or the best. There's no more point of regretting. Move on from the past and look forward to the future. That's the best you can do to enjoy your remaining days," I said.He then looked at me and smiled. "Seems like you know a lot about life.""I am no expert. I just know how you feel with your situation right now. I knew the feeling of something about to end and you can't just do something about it. All you can do is to live everyday and wait until your last breath comes.""You knew?"I smiled lightly and nodded."I guess we are meant to meet each other," he then awkwardly laughed.I've seen it too. "I guess so.""What happened to your face, by the way? Why do you have a small scratch on your cheek?" Ciano asked one after the other.I held my cheek with a wound from my aunt's scratch yesterday. And then forcedly smiled."This is nothing. There's o
We were both sensing our surroundings. As the seconds passed, the movement grew stronger.It's an earthquake. Very strong shaking. It's a bit dizzying.A minute later, the floor stopped moving.I looked at Vish. He was looking directly at me. I was curious about his eyes. I looked at my hand that was in the young man's pants.My eyes widened slightly when I noticed where my hand was holding. My hand can feel his bulging pet.I quickly pulled my hand away from him. Suddenly my cheeks turned red."I–I'm sorry," I still smiled and bowed. I quickly walked closer to where I was sitting earlier and sat there.I was still bent over while continuing to eat. I couldn't look directly at Vish.Vish suddenly stood up. "I'll just change my clothes," he uttered. There was a sudden change in his tone.I quickly looked up at him and tried to smile. I also nodded slightly.I just followed him with my eyes until he pressed a small button on the wall and suddenly the wall opened a little, a door. Vish e

I am standing in front of one big house. This is his house. I've been here.Liah no longer lives here. They moved out after the divorce. Vish provided them one expensive condo so that he and his son could live there.It has been a week. A week had passed before I thought of flying back to the Philippines just to see him. Maybe there is hope for both of us.Or even just closure for our son. I wanted him to personally meet our daughter. Four years of Xyrie's life passed without knowing her real daddy. I want to make it up to her. I want to give him a complete family.I wanted her to feel all the love I could possibly give her, the kind of love that I never experienced until Vish entered my life.My heart's beat went fast as I slowly moved the small gate to get inside. I slowly walked towards the door.I stood there for a moment. I hesitated whether to knock or not. Until my palm moved on its own and knocked on the door.A few minutes passed, no one answered so I knocked again. But still
I fell asleep again after I laid my body on the bed when we got back from the place where Ev said me and my daughter lived.The house where I came from last night was our house. That explains why I had pictures on the wall together with my family and friend.When I woke up, the child was fast asleep in my arms.Suddenly, in a snap, everything that happened came back to my mind. I realize that this is Xyrie sleeping on my arm. I remembered everything.Everything became clear in my mind now. Most of the questions that have been on my mind for the past years have been answered.I smiled as I gently stroke my daughter's hair. I kissed her forehead. I heard his soft and cute snoring.Ev said she was crying because she didn't see me last night. She must've been frightened because I wasn't there with her.I noticed that Ev had just woken up as well. He was sitting on a long couch with his eyes rubbing.He turned to us. He noticed that I was awake. He got up and stepped forward towards our di
I can not take it anymore. My head hurts so bad and my brain seems to be glitching.I pushed him hard. I even heard him hit a house hard to make noise.I quickly opened the door and ran out. I even heard him calling my name but I didn't listen or even look at him.I took the exit where there were no people. I was glad when I didn't see anyone else there so I went straight out.I looked left and right, finding which direction I should take just to escape from this place.I just want to get away. I just want to disappear so I can process everything that's happening. I don't care anymore on what consequences will happen because of what I am about to do.My mind wanted to be alone.I was glad when a taxi passed by. I quickly got there and then delivered to my condo.I don't care what happens next. All I want now is for people not to see me in this situation.How am I supposed to face those people with this state of mine?After more than ten minutes, the taxi stopped. I went out and the st
Someone dragged me inside a mini room or a warehouse. Judging by his scent and strength, I could tell that he is a man.He shut the door and pinned me on the nearest cold wall. He blocked his big body from me. Even though it was dark, I can say that he is a few inches taller than me."Shhh..." He hushed me. His face is close to mine. For some reason, he sounded familiar.I tried to pushed him away from me. I pushed his chest but he violently grabbed my palms and pinned them on the wall, up to my head.He also pinned his body on me which makes it more difficult for me to move. He has a huge body and I could also feel his friend from down there poking my abdomen.I'm so scared. My heart almost came out of my chest because of the fast pace of that beat. I can also feel the softening of my knees.More than five minutes of my struggle passed but nothing was happening and he didn't even move. He was also silent while waiting me, as if he was just waiting for me to stop what I was doing.Unt
I looked at myself in the mirror. I am wearing a beige maxi dress that reaches up to a foot high. My hair was dyed into a light brown and it was semi curled.I'm currently in the fitting room, getting myself ready. My lips were pink. The makeup on my face is thick to ensure that my pimples and eyebags are not obvious.I was not having enough sleep for the past few days causing pimples and eyebags to be present on my face.After putting on my makeup, I proceeded on wearing my jewelry. They were all made of silver. I'm also wearing the necklace I bought when my mom and I went shopping together. It was so beautiful it perfectly matched with my outfits.Tonight is the night that we had been waiting for. Thousands of guests have already arrived and they are all wearing elegant and high-class outfits. 70 percent of our expected guests came and others are still coming. After ten minutes, the party will begin.My palms are a little cold from the nervousness. Too many people. I'm afraid of mak
We are back in Canada. Xyrie is entering her school again. I am fixing the problem regarding the upcoming event.While working something on my laptop, I kept looking at Ev. He is also busy doing something. He took a one week leave from the hospital he's working because of the upcoming event.I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened during our stay in the Philippines. Especially the confrontation between us and the man that Ev fought.I couldn't stop thinking about him. Not because I have some personal reason to do so. It was because of what he said that made me question Ev's kindness towards me and Xyrie.I have the feeling that Ev is hiding something from me. I kept on talking a quick look at his face.If what that man said was true, this would be the first time Ev lied something to me. But I can't think of a right or exact reason for him to lie to me.I just shook my head trying to get that problem out of my mind. Then I just focused on what I was doing.The truth
Until I got back to our hotel room, I still couldn't get the events out of my mind.I found Aya sleeping on the long couch so I woke her up to send her back to her room.Then I went to my room with Xyrie. My daughter is still sleeping soundly.I took off my coat and lay next to her. We face each other.I gently caressed my daughter's hair. I watched her gentle and innocent face.As I was watching her, I realized she resembles someone. But, I cannot point out who. She looks like someone I saw from before.I just kissed her forehead and proceeded to close my eyes.And just a few seconds later, I immediately fell asleep.***"We're here," the young man announced when we got inside. "Welcome to my office.""Are you sure it's okay for me to be in your office while you work? Maybe I'm just a nuisance?”It was also a bit dark around the office. 'Only his working table has a bright light. And it's not just his door made of glass. The wall is also made of it so I can see the people outside his
We are supposed to stay here for another day but dad called me earlier and is sending us back to Canada. They said there was a problem with the food catering for the event.I booked them a month ago. And I am briefly glad that they announced their backing off days before the actual event. I still have time to find a replacement.Our flight will be tomorrow and then. Xyrie's currently in bed. It's already seven p.m. My son fell asleep early. She was tired these past few days.He even beat me to work more than ten hours a day.I've been waiting for Ev to tell her that we have to go back to Canada.I've been calling him the whole afternoon but his phone is switched off. I'm a little nervous because he's not like this. He is usually the one who calls me first.I leaned against the door of our room, waiting for Ev to arrive. I've been looking at the door of his room which is right next to ours for a few minutes.I chose to enter our room first to check my phone. But I still can't call Ev.
