HACE I caught up with Alexander who was outside, leaning on the car. I walked closer to him, he straightened up when I got closer. I stared at him, I clenched my hand in my pocket. My fist came out in his face, I wasn't satisfied yet and I punched him again. He didn't move in shock, when I stopped sharply, his gaze lifted to me. "What the heck is wrong with you? Why the heck would you punch me? What's that for, you jerk!" He threatened me with a punch, I backed away and he just glared at me. My jaw dropped as I remembered why I was angry with him now. I went inside first, he just stared at me in disbelief. I heard him cursing before turning around and getting on the driver's side. He sighed violently and turned to me with a bad look. "Seriously, what's your problem? All of a sudden you're punching for no reason!” He started the car, I grinned as I felt relief from the blow I gave him. I should have done that before. "I have my reason why I punch you, and you deserve it." I smirk
HACE I folded my hands when we reached the place. And because the place is far away, we waited for morning. We're here in town just waiting for light. And because that place is quite isolated. We had to wait for dawn, before continuing. I nervously leaned on the chair, I couldn't wait to see her . My heart was pounding nervously and I was restless. I got out of the car and breathed in the air outside. I took a few breaths and let it go trembling. I clenched my fist because it was shaking. In addition to the cold night, and also because the place is full of trees , the cold is palpable. I put both hands on my waist and looked at the sky. I'm praying that time will go by, so that I can see her . "Hey relax, you will see her. "I looked at him as he had already gone out, but his arm was resting on the door jamb. "Take a rest first, you've been driving for hours. And look at the bags under your eyes.” He shook his head, I shook my head and didn't listen to him. I turned my back on him a
HACE I hugged her tighter from behind. We are now sitting here in the shade of the tree. Me leaning against the trunk of the tree and Nerissa hugging her back. I couldn't handle my emotions earlier and all my emotions poured out. From the longing and when I miss her , the regret that I will regret for the rest of my life. I can't believe that she is now here next to me and I still hug her . It's like I'm just dreaming, and I hope if it's a dream I won't wake up again. I'm just here in my dream, where I'm with her . I can't bear to lose her again. "Are you calm now ?" She asked caressing my arm that was hugging her . I nodded and buried my face in her neck. I don't want to be away from her , like any time I can't touch her or even feel her . I'm nervous that I won't see her again. She took a deep breath and just leaned her head on me. I caressed the bulge of his stomach, she held my hand on her stomach. "I'm sorry." she moved, separated from my hug. I quickly looked at her and hel
NERISSA "Aunt, let them be here first. Maybe those people won't last long, they also have jobs left behind in Manila." I told her not to worry, she just glared at me. "Don't fool me Nerissa, do you think that Hace will leave immediately without you?" She turned to see where Hace and Draco were with the children playing with the puppets outside. I took a deep breath, explaining what will happen here to you. I know that she is just worried, because she has caught me crying secretly at night several times. Ever since I was with them, when Maddie brought me here, it was hard to explain what happened. My uncle and Aunt are angry with whoever took me, I even found out that someone brought them here in the province on the very day that only me and my brothers were supposed to go here. They said they didn't know who , when I asked Maddie, she doesn't know anything either. I looked at Hace, couldn't he be the one who sent them here? But this province is far away. Maddie and I have been awa
NERISSA I was distracted by the sun's rays hitting my face. I opened one eye and looked through the window. It's morning, I got up rubbing my eyes. I looked next to me, Hace was gone. That man is there, he didn't even wake me up. I combed my hair with my hand. I fixed our bed first, and decided to go out. I could also hear the noise outside the house. When I got to the kitchen, I was greeted by my aunt who was already serving breakfast. I woke up late again, I couldn't take care of my siblings. Tiyang looked at me and smiled, I approached and greet her. "Good morning, aunt ." " Good morning to you too, sit down now. I have prepared the food and taken care of your siblings. I'll take them to school, you stay here and rest." She said as she lead me to sit. " I can take them to school. I'm not the one who prepared their breakfast, besides, you must be tired too." She shook her head and smiled, she took my hand and caressed it. " Oh it's nothing , I'm fine. Now look at your stoma
"What's going on here?" I left the kitchen when Tiyang didn't answer, because I heard a noise outside. And I was shaken by what I saw, I gasped for breath when I saw what they were doing now. Hace turned his gaze to me, he came closer and kissed my cheek while caressing my stomach. "Don't those people intend to go home?" Hace frowned at my question, he also looked at his friends now playing piko saya. Carlos carried my Aunt daughter on his shoulder while playing. He was very happy, when I looked at him he was also smiling. "I don't know about them, I already told them to go without me." I looked at him. "Why didn't you come then?" "Love, that's an obvious question. You're here, and wherever you are I'll be there." He sigh. "Is that a song?" I asked with a snort, he shook his head and hugged me. “You know you can't push me away. Because no matter what you do to push me, I will come back and I will still come back to you. You're my home, my love and my everything." I tearfully
NERISSA After getting settled, we traveled back to Manila. We rode only one car, together with Hace's friends. And now it's a miracle that they are quiet, their faces are serious and it's like they have their own world. Draco is driving and Carlos is in the front, Hace and I are in the middle. Adrian and Aki were behind, busy with his computer. Since we left the house, Aki has been facing his laptop. I sighed and leaned my head on Hace's shoulder. I felt his kiss there and his hug tightened on my shoulder. "Something wrong?" He ask, I just shook my head and closed my eyes. "We will come back, I promise to stay with you with your family. For now, let's face your father. Everything will be okay.” He promised. "Hmm." My only answer was, I still remembered how hard it was to say goodbye to my siblings. But when he said why I'm leaving. Their faces became clear and even happy. We talked to tiyang about dad's return. She must have told those children so that they would agree to let m
"Dad, just a moment, calm down, I'm not leaving." I stood up, holding my stomach, suddenly there was a pain. I took a deep breath, shaking my head as dad stood up. " You don't know Alejandro Nerissa, that man is a demon. I know what he is doing to you here. So whether you like it or not, you will come with me and we will leave here. I'm back, so you have no debt to pay. " Suddenly, father seemed to lose himself and pulled out his hair. "You're all right? " He looked at me, blinked and quickly approached me. Grabbing my arm, I gasp when he pressed too hard my hand. " We are going home, Hillary is already here so you have no use for him . We need to get ahead of her before she gets you out of here herself." I tried to grab my arm, but he held it tightly. "That won't happen, Hace loves me and I love him too. I won't leave, you're hurting me ." I was in tears, he just shook his head and pulled me away. He walked so fast that I could hardly follow. I held my stomach as it hurt again.
