"I'm sorry about that, Kraius," I said in a small voice. "I just can't help it," I added.
"It's okay, Olive. I understand," he replied.
I sighed and leaned my back on the seat. We're inside his car, but my thoughts were flying somewhere far. I lost control and I cried in front of Trina. Even if I was slapping and telling her things, I was crying. My feelings never changed. The bitter feeling never vanished inside of me. It's still the same. I think it even got worse.
In the end, Kraius lifted me and took me out of the jail. He helped me to calm down. He reminded me about my baby's condition. Because if I was the only one there, I wouldn't know what happened. I lost my logic that I bursted out.
"I got carried away,"
I don't know what happened next. I just ended up inside Atlas' car as he drove away fast. I don't know where we're going. The only thing I know is, I'm determined to go with him whenever he would take me.I hugged myself when I felt the cold from the rain. I was soaking wet. Even if Atlas gave me his jacket, it didn't help. The coldness still seeped through my skin.Atlas was the same. He's wet from the rain. He was maneuvering the car with a serious expression. Sometimes, he'd throw worried glances at me. The kind of gaze that I couldn't get used to.I was surprised when the car stopped at the front of our house in South Ridge Village. His movements were stealthy as he opened the gate. I watched him in confusion but he didn't even spare me a glance. He walked inside our bac
I woke up the next day feeling heavy. When I opened my eyes, the familiar white ceiling greeted me. I am in my room and I am naked. My body was wrapped in a comforter. When I turned to my side, I didn't see Atlas. He wasn't inside the room when I roamed around.I sighed and touched my belly. I remembered what happened to Atlas and I last night. My screams and my moans. His embrace and his possessiveness to claim me. Everything seemed surreal. I still couldn't believe it. Everything seemed so fast.I sighed again and shrugged the thought off. I tried to stand up to wear my clothes when Atlas entered the room. My eyes was stuck on him. To his handsome face and to his glorious body."Ahemm!"I blinked a few
They said the best healing starts from yourself. Start from accepting your flaws. From reflecting the things that you've done in the past. And from loving and caring for yourself, alone. A new start for myself."But, Dad! You said that you will go with me to the hospital," I said, problematic."I'm sorry, Hija. We have an emergency at the Senate, so I didn't have the time to inform you. But, I promise next time."I heard him sigh. I nodded although he couldn't see me. "Okay. I'm sorry, Dad. I know you're busy and I am still disturbing you. I'll just go alone," I said."No! baby, Atlas will come with yo--""What?!" I immediately complained. When I real
Dr. Lagman brought us to a private room. My heart was beating so fast. I couldn't explain what I was feeling. I was nervous and excited at the same time.When I roamed around the room, I saw that it was just a normal clinic laboratory. There's a bed on the side while there's a small table beside the ultrasound monitor. There's a lavatory at the other side of the room and a picture of a baby on the wall. The interior was white with a hint of green, so it felt really refreshing in the eyes."Alright! You can let go of your wife now," she turned to Atlas. That's when I realized that Atlas was still snaking his arm on my waist. I took a glimpse of him and shook my head. He nodded and let me go with a sigh."Now, let's lay down on the bed and relax. This will not hurt," she said.
I didn't exactly know what Atlas meant about coming with him. I don't know what he meant by starting again. All I know is that I was with him and we were both inside his car while he was driving somewhere far from the Metro. A place that I didn't know.The skies started to be gloomy as the light and darkness fought for its place. The sun began to bid its goodbye, together with the rise of the moon. I am tired from the long ride that I let myself drown into slumber. I don't know how long I slept in so much tiredness. The only thing I knew was I was awakened by a soft kiss on my lips. And when I opened my eyes, Atlas' face greeted me."We're here," he whispered."I'm sorry, I slept."I slightly moved away
After the tragedy, light will come. After the rain stops, the sun will shine. All the tears and pain, all the suffering and torments. It will serve as a foundation for a new chapter. For a new start and for a new hope.I woke up the next morning with a smile glued on my lips. I wondered what happened to Atlas and I last night. It wasn't sexual, but a physical kind that I could still feel his embrace. An embrace that made my mind at peace, that made me fall into slumber.I roamed around the room as I got up from bed. There is no trace of Atlas in every corner of it. I pouted my lips. I felt a bit of disappointment but I just shrugged the thoughts off. Then, I sighed and continued the things that I needed to do."Big sister!"
I don't know where I pulled the strength to get off Atlas' car. I don't have any idea as to how I moved my feet together with Atlas who's holding my hand tightly. When I glanced at him, he was just staring in front of us seriously. I remained silent and let him take me wherever."We're here."We stopped at a not-so-big mausoleum. It's obviously been here for a long time just by looking at its rusty grills and roof."She's my first love," he started.I've heard that phrase a lot of times from his mouth, but it still hurts the same. Maybe because that truth was the reason why I had my uncertainties and regrets for the past ten years. Because of that phrase, I was wrecked repeatedly until I couldn't recognize myself an
A muffled moan came out from my mouth as another punch of pain rushed inside. I almost can't take the pain on my hips and womanhood. Atlas was driving the car speedily. We quickly arrived at the biggest hospital of San Vicente. He didn't waste any time and carried me inside the hospital."It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay," he whispered and kissed my head."It hurts," I said, in pain.I felt Atlas laying me down somewhere. When I opened my eyes, his worried face was what greeted me. Beside him was a uniformed nurse while behind him was also someone wearing a uniform, but I couldn't see it because of my vision blurring. I'm tired and desperately want to sleep."How often does it hurt, Ma'am?" the doctor ask
