...(Luna' Pov)You never judge one on the first encounter, the first encounter wasn't even bad, although it was obvious she expected better from her son, now that I think about it, it's not a bad thing.On hearing she had cancer, I was left torn, I can not even imagine what that must feel like, I can only sympathize but can't relate, a tug of guilt gripping me, I never excepted this heavy of an illness I can not even begin to imagine what Max is going through right now, he had a smile on his face, they have the same smile, their resemblance uncanny, down to their piercing blue eyes, his mother's eyes dulling from age or perhaps sickness, she doesn't look like her sickness one can attest to that, just like Max she looks intimidating till she smiles or laughs, she knows a lot about flowers and takes delight in talking about talking of their meaning."Mother!" I heard a voice call out happily, as she ran in our direction but immediately pursed upon seeing me."Oh, phina!" Max's mother
...The ride home suddenly went quiet, filled with an undeniable amount of tension, that seemed to hang heavy in the air. I couldn't stop stealing glances at him out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't help but wonder what was on his mind. His mother has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and the weight of it all must have been drawing him into a whirlpool of emotions. Yet, he sat there with a neutral expression, his face pressed against his phone, seemingly hiding his pain.The silence between us was suffocating, broken only by the sound of the tires rolling over the asphalt. My heart ached for Max, for the burden he carried silently. And I understand his behavior a little, he wants to carry this burden alone.I couldn't help but steal another glance at him, noticing a flicker of sadness in his eyes, quickly masked by a forced smile. It was as if he was trying to convince himself that everything was okay, even when his world was falling apart. I wanted to reach out, to offer comfor
......I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep. The soft glow of the moon seeped through my curtains, casting a faint silhouette on the wall. It was one of those nights where my mind refused to quiet down, consumed by thoughts of him.Is he okay?He seems okay The was smiling a beautiful smileMy thoughts danced around his image, his face etched into my mind. I could recall the curve of his smile, the warmth that suddenly, appeared in his eyes, and the way his subtle chuckle echoed in my ears. It was as if every thought, every memory of him, was painted with vibrant colors, vivid and alive. As I lay there, my mind wandered through the moments we had shared together. The Tears he made me shed which seems like I have completely forgotten and forgive him for, the conversations that often led to banter, and the countless stolen glances. I replayed each scene in my head, relishing in the confusion that those memories brought me.But alongside the confusion, there was a h
...I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in a hospital bed, surrounded by the sterile scent of disinfectant. The soft hum of medical equipment filled the room, and my memories started to piece together as I tried to recall what led me here.Slowly I rise from the bed still piecing my thoughts together, my hand placed on my head for support as I noticed the door opening, an unfamiliar face, a nurse or even a doctor perhaps."You are awake," she said with a smile approaching me while I nodded."Where is Max?" I asked before I could even hold myself back "You mean your husband? He will be here soon," She said with a smile.I watched closely as she tried to feel me up probably checking my temperature, I watched and waited till she is done."What exactly happened to me?" I asked her "You fainted this morning," she explained "I already figured, I mean what could have resulted to me fainting?" I asked while she smiled, maybe it is just how nurses and doctors are trained but having a s
...I honestly do not understand what I am still doing at the hospital for I feel completely fine. "Do you know if Your boss is still in the hospital?" I asked Cecilia "You mean Master?" she asked while I just nodded, no matter how often I hear that word I can't seem to be used to it."I have no idea," she says while I got up from the bed that I have now grown tired from sitting on."Do you plan on going somewhere, you need rest.""I have had more than enough of it, I want to see mother-in-law," I said while walking ahead of her."I don't know...""It's totally okay Cecelia, me and her who do you think is in a more critical condition?" I asked while she appears defeated."If you insist," she murmured following me behind On getting to the door of her room, the door opened right in front of me to show Seraphina coming out of the room.I swallowed down the frown trying to force its way to my face."Look who we have here," she said with a smile."Excuse me," I said trying to avoid any
...For a moment I was confused as I stared at him, what does he mean by that? Then slowly I got my answer."Wait the flower was from you?" I asked in bewilderment "Yes," he answered "How... Am sorry just...," almost not knowing what else to say he replied "I was at the hospital when you were rushed in, and your room is close to that of my sister so...," he explained while I nodded even with the obvious confusion "Oh okay, that's lovely of you," I said "This is my sister, Florance. And Florance this is the friend I told you about." he introduced us, and she smiled slightly before stretching her hands out to me, I took it on the process bending down a bit.There was no resemblance between the two which is okay, not every sibling looks alike, her eye color was a dark brown unlike his green eye color, and her hair color was jet black that it almost looks fake.But she was undeniably very beautiful, I watched as a dimple appears on her left cheek as her smile spread across her face.
..."I will ask you again," He said quietly as I swallowed fear taking the best part of me."I can explain," I began organizing my thoughts, how to do I start?"So I wanted fresh air and just came out for fresh air and that was when I came across him," I said in a rush surprised I was able to say that under one breath."oh you must take me for a fool," he said to my surprise followed by a chuckle.A bad type of chuckle, as he began to walk around with his hand in his pocket. "You got to be kidding me, Luna, lies I really can't do this now," he said scratching his head "I swear I am not lying," "Do not!" he raised his voice taking me by surprise "Explain this," He said tossing a ring on the table which rolled over to my side as I hovered over to pick it up. It was my ring, the very same one I was looking for."How did you get this?" I asked genuinely shocked."Wait did Seraphina give you this?" I asked him catching up, I am very sure I left the room with this ring in my hand, I eve
...Morning came faster for me, Last night he was out to visit his mother and didn't return, so I wonder if he is back now or still has not returned.Slowly I rolled off the bed and wiggled my way to the door on opening it he passed through me without saying a word his strong cologne filling the air as he walked as if I wasn't there, I immediately followed him.Rehearsing my word within as I bring myself to say it."Can we ta...," my words hung on air on seeing who was seated at the living room.My tongue dried up immediately as I watched her stand up with concern in her eyes reaching out to him."We need to hurry, she will be in..." she paused on seeing me "What is going on?" I asked directly at her with concern but she chose to look away, then the dots begin to connect, his mother? Could it be the surgery?"Max?" I called him but he was long gone again not looking back as Seraphina smiled in my face.That was far from my worries, what could be going on in his head right now? How is
