I stared at the face staring up at me, and I was very sure that I was seeing things. Five years.....even after five years....
I stared at the most beautiful version of the woman that used to be My Jasamina. She looked most beautiful. Five years did the greatest work in her.
"J-Jasamina.....?" I couldn't believe that that hoarse voice was mine, but it doesn't matter.
I'm staring at her. I'm staring at Jasamina.
"Tann!" She left her scattered file there and shot to her feet. She threw her arms around me. "It's really you!"
My arms tightened around her, I buried my face in her neck and inhaled deeply. People stared curiously, but I didn't mind. I closed my eyes and hugged her tight.
"Oh, Tann! Oh, God!" She gasps repeatedly, plastered to my body.

I'm so glad she got the job.I just can't believe that this is her, after all this years. It's as if my chest opened up and raw emotions played in there. I wanted nothing more than to kiss her.After all these years, her kiss is one of the so many things I long for. But it wouldn't be right, would it? A lot of time has passed, and she has a man in her life right now."How is Xax?" She mumbled as she pulled away."He's away. I don't know when he'll be coming back but we keep in touch."She nodded again, the silence suddenly awkward. She looked away. The way she kept biting her lips shows that there are words she wants to say, but she k

I half groaned upon hearing the knock on the door. I guessed it was Nessa. The click of her heels was all too familiar" Here is the coffee sir, I I had to remake it because the first one got cold." She said gently as she shut the door behind her, taking a professional stride towards my desk to place the tea cup, and a saucer underneath." Thanks. You can leave now." I stated, darting my eyes to her retreating steps and seconds later, the door was shut again.I stretched my hand to take the coffee but damn!, I ended up spilling it on the floor as my fingers lost their friction. The cup and saucer followed, shattering into tiny little pieces.What's happening to me?

It hurt bad, the thought that I thought of him so much for the past five years, that I waited so much....and it's as if I became a memory he dropped behind and moved on." Tears ran down my cheeks. I averted my eyes."Oh Jass...." She came closer and hugged me. I burrowed into her and cried softly. She smells nice and so familiar, but I still wear the cologne of Tann. I can still smell him.She took my silence as a cue to carry on, chiding me softly. "I really understand how you feel, Jass. But, you should have allowed him to explain. You shouldn't have left just like that. He probably has a tangible reason for not coming back as he promised.""The only tangible reason there is, is that he moved on. There is no other reason, Anya. Five years is a long ti

One week since I left before he could explain. One week of missing him all over again.The first three days, I looked around whenever I came to work and during work for him I couldn't find him. On the third day, I even took the elavator to the head department to look for him but I couldn't find him no matter how much I lurked around searching with my eyes.On the fourth day, I'd taken the courage to ask the woman who was carrying the coffee and staring at us at very day questions. I found out the woman is the direct secretary to the CEO of the company, and when I asked...."Sorry, the boss is not in his off

Five words that were like a healing balm to my very soul. "Y-You did?"He palmed my cheeks tenderly. "I did, honey. It took me so long and I'm very sorry.....""No, no, no, don't ever apologize! Ever! You had so much on your plate, I understand how it must have taken so long for you, I really understand, Tann."He lowered his lips and kissed me breathlessly. His lips coaxed mine softly and I gave in to his adore, he doesn't seem to mind my inexperience....Tann never did."I went back after two years but the house was empty.

Anya whispered as she came up behind me.I turned and walked out to the small living room while she followed. "He meant Sir Tann." I spoke the obvious."Yes! God, I can't believe this coincidence! So, Tanner is the mysterious man he spent his Sunday with, the man he has been trying to tell us about!?""I know, right?" I smiled as I made my way to the kitchen to check my potato fries. I'm almost done making Tann's favorite. I just hope he still loves my cookings like he did five years ago.

The thought was imprinted on my mind for the rest of the day.I've been walking in clouds since I became close again with Jasamina, Jaime and Anya. Jaimie is such a cute little boy, his presence is always welcomed. Whenever I'm with him I don't feel the pain and loneliness that has become such a constant thing in my life.After work, I went back home on that Thursday evening to see my housekeeper, Marie, cleaning the dinning room and muttering to herself angrily.When she saw me, she gave me a smile that was nothing like the usual warm smile that spreads on her wrinkled face. "Good evening, boss.""Marie, what's wrong?"She huffed, squeezing her rag in her hands. "It's that flashy-looking female again, goes right into

His father was staring at us pitifully and his mother was swiping tears from her eyes."I'm so sorry for this...." I whispered from the ground, my voice hoarse from crying.They all shook their heads at the same time. Obviously speechless."So, it's you, Mina." Tann's mother finally whispered, sniffling. "You're the person Doreen wronged. She was always crying and mourning and sorrowful. We've been pleading for her to forgive herself....she didn't."***********After Tann dropped my mother and her feet's were treated and bandaged, it was the both of us again.&nb

Even though she doesn't really look like the mother I remember, I know for sure that this housekeeper here is the woman that gave birth to me."M-Mother...?" My voice came out a shaky whisper as I stood up.She looked like she aged ten years in the past five years. She had none of her jeweleries on her body, her hair wasn't braided or styled, there was no fancy cloth on her body.She stared at me with recognition. She stared at me with pain in her eyes.Suddenly, her eyes watered. Still looking at me with shock and pain, the tray she was carrying fell from her hand and the glasses shattered on the floor.Everyone gasped around the room but I couldn't see them. I can only stare at the

He rushed forward and wrapped his little hands around the old man's neck.I was surprised when Freddy's eyes watered as he hugged Jaimie back. I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling so happy that they accepted my son, it brought tears to my eyes.Afterwards, the old man finally straightened to his full height and stared at me beside Tann, a smile on his face."Father, here's Jasamina.

My body was drawn taut with the need to move but instead, I kissed her wet brows, down to her cheeks.Seconds later, she whimpered and went lax under me, making relief to course through me. I pulled back and stroked into her gently.A heavy groan escaped my lips because I found heaven, and it was more than I've ever expected. I took leisure strokes until she sighed breathily.Then, I stretched out on top of her, taking her hands into mine and pinning it above her head. I pumped slowly, getting my bearings, learning the lay of the tight land. I love that she clutched me so closely. Her face buried in my neck. Her fingernails biting my hand, clutching at it.My hips moved to the musical sound of the night. Steady, rough pumps

I want her with a great urge that almost bothered on obsession.I pulled back finally, and she panted for breaths while I undressed her. There wasn't much to undress. I released the two buttons and untied the rope, pulling the nightie apart.I groaned in need when I found her naked underneath. In the glow of the night, she looked so beautiful. Her rosy nipples puckered, starting erect and seeking my mouth on them.I kissed down her neck to the swell of bee

To live. With her little boy wrapped hidden under her breast, her body bruised, roaming the streets of New York city, sleeping in an uncompleted building.The tears flew down my cheeks because that girl truly survived. Seeing this, I know, I truly did survive. Maybe....just maybe...it's time for this Jasamina to finally embrace eternal happiness. Because I worked for it. I suffered for it. I deserve it."Yes." I whispered tearfully, a smile on my face. "Yes, Tann. I will marry you.""Oh, thank God!" Tann exclaimed, taking breath
