Chapter Fourteen: Zion Restaurant
"If you love someone, go on and tell them. Take a risk, don't be afraid to tell them."
Lucas
I looked at my sister who suddenly entered. She is wearing something different now as if she was from a wedding. I could see the joy on her face as she sat in front of me.
"Where have you been?" I asked so she looked straight int
Chapter 15"Right eyes will see your worth."LilieWhen I entered, I was immediately greeted by a woman in a waitress uniform. She smiled at me as she waited for me."This way Maam," she said to me and showed me the way. We entered a hallway and stopped at a door. I was about to speak when she suddenly disappeared so I did nothing but enter permanently.I was stunned by what I saw. Each tree has different colored Christmas lights wrapped around it. What I was walking on the ground was full of white and blue petals of roses.I also noticed the pictures. Wait? These are my pictures. From childhood until now everyone is here. I don’t know where Luke got it all.As I was walking a song suddenly sounded. The song was unfamiliar to me so I continued. The man was singing and I only saw the singer when the light in the middle turned on.I wa
Chapter 16: Gun"Love can make you the stupidest person in the world."LilieI was sitting on the floor as she pushed me hard. When I looked at the person who made me this, I was just surprised who it was."Rina, why are you doing this?!" I shouted because she rushed at me again and pulled me out while slapping me. I bit my lip hard because of the pain I was feeling.But she glared at me and touched my jaw, maybe with too much tightness I might pass. "You're so funny! You're a kidnapper!" She shouted again.She stood me up but she still held my hair too tightly. "It's just Lucas, Lilie! You just took everything from me! Even the man I love!"I want to push her but I can't do it because she is bigger than me. She would have slapped me again when someone suddenly pushed her hard so she was the one sitting on the floor.
Chapter 17: Shot"There's someone who will save you, always."LilieI just sighed when Lucas and I fell to the ground together. The windshield of his car broke because the bullet hit it. A few glasses of glass spilled on us so I closed my eyes.I was on top of Lucas and he hugged me very tightly. I could feel the speed of our two hearts, even though our breathing was too fast, it was as if we were fighting to the death.I was almost out of breath when the man on the motorcycle pointed his gun at me again. I just closed my eyes and waited for the locust to hit me.I was just surprised when Lucas reversed our position. He is now on top of me so he was the one who hit. I could see how Lucas was hit on the shoulder.I feel like my world has stopped spinning at what I witnessed. My face turned pale and my heart stopped beating. Trembling I tou
Chapter 18: Mom"Some unexpected people will come to our life and we prayed that they will never be gone in our side."Lilie“I mean, I like your face, no pimples or scratches even one. You can be my model, ”he said and stared at my face even more.Keegan and I just screamed when he disappeared in front of me. I think Lucas is already holding him and twisting his arm."What the heck are you doing to my woman!" Lucas shouted angrily and pinned Keegan even harder against the wall."Easy, I'm not doing anything," Keegan defended and tried to free his hand and he managed to raise both hands at the same time."What do you mean nothing?! What? Just grab a trip and bring your face closer to my girlfriend! ”“Fine! I only did that because your girlfriend passed me by being my model, ”said Keegan and pushed Lucas.“No! She will not be your m
Chapter 19: PendantChapter Nineteen"The present changes the past. Looking back you do not find what you left behind."-Kiran Desai.LilieLucas and I first bought candles and flowers before going to Mom's grave. When I was in front of Mom's grave I sat on the grass and enjoyed the breeze of the air.I put the flower on the side of her grave as well as the candle and lit it. I carefully wiped Mom's grave, I was still wondering because it was still fine and I knew someone was still cleaning it."I'm sorry Mama if I only visited you today," I began and sat down on the grass. "Something bad happened," I added and closed my eyes for a moment to reminisce that we made.“Mom, do you know we miss you, you and Papa. Even though I contributed to him, I still miss him. Is Dad visiting you? ” I asked with tears in my eyes and stopped for a moment because I su
Chapter 20: Justice"Everyone deserves justice."Lilie"Is this about my case?" I asked him a nervous question so he nodded. When my suspicion hit me I hurried downstairs. I even heard Lucas shouted my name.“Hey! Darling, be careful. You may have taken the wrong step down and you might get injured if you fall.” But I just ignored his screaming because of the mixed emotions I was feeling.When I came down I saw two policemen who are looking directly at me. They both stood up and shook my hand. I felt Lucas walk over to me. We sat down and the police started explaining. Manang even put drinks and food in front of us.“I am the Inspector. Ramil. I am the one who assigned in your case, Ms. De Vega. I know it was a year ago but only now have we caught the suspect,” he began."The suspect's name is Mauricio Velasco. Yesterday we found him in his den. He changed his name
Chapter 21: Heartbeat"Sometimes, love can make you a bad person."LilieIt has been a week since Lucas and Julie were confined. Julie had an accident but not that bad.Rina and Mauricio have been imprisoned. I don't think Rina will do that thing to me. I don't think Rina can go crazy just because of love.Rina was taken to a mental hospital due to her condition while Mauricio was already in jail. I feel sorry for what happened to Rina.Policemen are watching over us because there may be another sudden incident and also because of the media.“These siblings are serious. Competing over who will be first at the grave. ” I looked at Keegan as he jokes suddenly. He was next to Julie and sitting down. To this day Julie still does not wake up. I looked at Lucas.My tears flowed again and I felt guilty. I should
Chapter 22: Mauricio"Lucas, don't leave me."LilieSuddenly a doctor and nurse arrived at Lucas while four of us were all released including Julie.My two eyes could see how they would revive Lucas. A nurse put resuscitation on him while the doctor pumped his chest. They are also making trouble inside.We looked at Julie when she suddenly shouted. “Wait, why am I outside too?! I'm also a patient too! ”So he went straight into Lucas's room and there were nurses taking care of him. I was crying and fainting holding on to the glass that was blocking Lucas and me.Please, Lucas, don't leave me.Julie was just sitting and watching the doctor and nurses make a fuss, I could also clearly see the fear in Julie's eyes. Fifteen minutes later I started to cry.His heartbeat returned. I quickly
"She's the one who saves me."Note: You may encounter some typographical errors and wrong grammar. And I'm sorry about that. I will edit it soon.LucasI'm a mess, I don't know where to go. My mind is in a mess right now. I'm like a puzzle who is finding his missing pieces, until now.I don't know what to do in my life right now, I can't see where the right path and light is. I don't know where they hope they are saying. All I can do is to stare at the river whenever I want to jump in.I'm in a mess.My mind is in darkness.Can someone save me?I feel like I am a lost puppy who is waiting for his owner to find me. I stare at the sky and smiled. All my life, all I can do is to take care of everything, all I can do is to pursue everything they want.They say, my life is perfect, our life is perfect. But they are wrong, I
"You're worth the wait."Lilie"Are you tired of me Lucas?" I made a weak promise and I knew he heard because he moved a little. He was still turning his back on me so I could not see his reaction.I feel like something is blocking my throat because I can't say the word I want to say to him."L-Lucas ..." I only said his name and waited for his answer. My eyes also started to water. So I approached him and grabbed his arm. I was just surprised when he suddenly removed it as if he was burning when I touched it."Rest Lilie, let's just talk in some other time," he promised coldly so I nodded and took three steps away from him.
"Darling, I'm always here for you, you don't have to carry all the pain in your heart."LilieSometimes in our lives, some people leave our side that we do not expect, sometimes someone comes back but the others, will never come back to our lives.We will be surprised one day, they will no longer be by our side. Even though it's more painful, when we are used to them being always here next to us they will disappear like bubbles.It is hard to forget someone you love even if you are only given a moment. But sometimes we have to accept that something will be lost in our lives even in extreme pain.We need to say goodbye even if we don't want to, we need to acce
"Learn to forgive someone, even they hurt you so much."Lilie"Dad, I'm Lilie," I assured crying and he tightened his grip on my hand. I could see how happy he was when he saw me.I sat down next to him and he slowly wiped the tears from my eyes. "Lilie, my daughter. Forgive me, ” he cried like me.“P-papa, I have forgiven you for a long time, I have forgiven you. You are not at fault for me anymore, ” I promised again but he just shook his head and continued."Forgive me, Lilie ... I killed your Mom." Because of what he said I was confused. What does Dad mean? What did he kill Mama for?"Wel
"I'm here, no one will hurt you now. "Lilie"Miss, this is a good thing I will do for you," he whispered in my ear while I was trembling with fear."Who are you? Please, don't do this to me," I begged as I moved my body away from him. I shuddered even more in fear when he touched my lower back."Darling!" I just sighed when someone woke me up. Looking to my side I saw Lucas worried too much about me."Why are you crying?" he asked as he wiped away my tears. I suddenly hugged him and there cried, he gently stroked my hair and back.“Did you have a nightmare again?
Chapter 31: You're a masterpiece"There are so many artworks that they handed to me, but for me, you are always my favorite artworks."LilieEven though tears were blurring my cheeks, I turned to Keegan who was smiling at us and I signaled to them what it was.They just smiled and nodded at the three of me so I turned to face Lucas who was singing and looking at me now.I don’t know how I will feel right now. My knees are shaking, my heart is beating too fast and most of all, I have a lot of pleasure in my chest right now.He continued singing and I could see how tears were flowing from his eyes. So what
Chapter 30: Graduation GiftLearn to forgive, but not to forget. "Lilie"Keegan, those things you say are not funny," I said seriously and drank coffee. I saw how his face becomes more serious.“What I am telling you is true, Lilie. Lucas has taken care of you since you came home. ”"How did that happen?" I ask.“Ever since you said Lucas is what you need, I called him right away. I told him everything ... everything. ”“Honestly, at first I was still struggling because I did not know what to say and how to tell Lucas everything. Until I have the courage. ”I just listen to him seriously and seriously, at any moment my heart seems to explode with what I hear."By the time you left the hospital, it was time for Lucas to
Chapter 29: I'm Not The One"You have to face the reality."LilieMy heart stopped beating even though I was breathing, my heartbeat got stronger because I heard his baritone voice."Is the ring I made for you okay?" I heard him say. Maybe it was for Alexa, so I have hurt again."Yes, will you take it now, Mr. Montiero?"I could not get out of my seat, even though my leg was shaking. I took a deep breath first and was about to step on my feet when I heard his voice again."Excuse me."Shit! He's just behind me! What will I do?!I was about to face and I was about to prepare myself when the sales lady spoke. So Lucas went there and I took this opportunity to go out.When I came out I just cried, I leaned against a wall and grabbed my trembling knees. Lucas and I almost met, alm
Chapter 28: I Saw Him"When you are meant for each other, God will find a way to be the two of you together, again."Lilie"Keegan, I'm nervous," I said so I felt Julie hold my hand and she spoke.“Lilie, don't be nervous, we are here, oh! So you can do it ... you will soon see, are you still going back. ” Julie encouraged me so I rubbed her face once pinched her cheek."Thank you, Julie," I replied with a smile and let go of her cheek, I heard her complain.“You're so bad! You need to pinch my cheek. ”We are now in the hospital and just waiting for Doctor Jade. I even laughed because I was so nervous even though I had not been subjected to surgery.My emotions are mixed now, nervousness, fear, joy, and most of all excitement. I was even more nervous when Doctor Jade spoke and called me. I alm
