THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 87. NOT MINE
“Why are you being like this? Is something attached to the orphanage? Do you even know the woman?” I asked, rushing after him as he left the room in a hurry.He paused and sighed. “I told you that everyone in that picture are the people I am looking for to complete a specific task. They are extremely needed” he responded, trying not to sound too sensitive“Oh I see but that woman is not in her right state of mind though” I stated and it got him puzzled again“What do you mean by she’s not in the right state of mind? Did something happen to her?” he questioned and I shrugged“I don’t know the origin of her sickness but then she’s living in the small building at the back of the orphanage. I happened to walk in on her by chance and I couldn’t find out any reasonable information about her but then one thing was obvious, her love for the kids” I explained“She has always loved the kids like her own children. Only her has their best interest at her” he mumbled between his breath and I nodde
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 88. WHERE IS JANE?
MEI’S POVI was feeling skeptical about visiting my mother since it’s been ages I heard from her. I didn’t even tell her about me schooling in another country because I didn’t want to look selfish considering the relationship between her and my sister.Ever since she got remarried, everything went downhill between all of us. I could remember that we were a happy family that loved each other and would do anything for each other. We nursed our sick father with love even though we barely had anything.I know deep down that Petals still love her dearly, she just didn’t want to accept that her mother got married to someone and she would have to accept him as her stepfather.I found out two secrets in just a span of minutes. My dear mother was sick and no one of was aware, also she wasn’t the one that gave birth to Petals. I grew up with them and never ever did I know about this huge secret, I was sure that even Petals wouldn’t even know.“How did this happen? How did we get here?” I cried
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 89. SOMEONE'S MISFORTUNE
By the time I woke up, I was told that I had been out for more than forty eight hours. This time, I was much calmer and back to my old self even though I was still remembering all the memories I just recovered.“Are you feeling pain anywhere? Do you need attention in any part of your body?” my doctor asked over and over in order to make sure that I was indeed fineI nodded with a faint smile and responded “Don’t worry, I can always call the button if I am in need of you” and he agreed“Don’t stress yourself for the time being and just rest. The IV will run for more days so you will be hospitalized till then. I hope you bear with us for those times” he said with care and I was touched by his gentleness“I know it’s not easy to stay in bed” he added with a bright smile which I returnedI shrugged and also said “I just have to get used to it. It will be over soon after all” and we bumped knuckles before he left my ward.I kept thinking about what could have happened that day but nothing
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 90. A GIRL I KNOW
Even though I wasn’t supposed to visit the orphanage at that moment, I had to visit the orphanage the next day. Immediately I sighted Pureza, I ran over to check his shoulder to see if there was no new spots that were different from the ones he had before I left the last time.“Aunty” he called out slowly with a cute voice and my mouth hung open in surprise.That was the first time ever he opened his mouth to say a word ever since I had been visiting him. He preferred silent gestures and expressions that I would understand instead of talking and seeing how he called my name, I was almost moved to tears.Trying to control my emotions, “Oh baby, how are you doing?” I said back at him and he responded with a cute smile lurking on his lips“I am fine” I patted his shoulders after pulling his cheeks slightly and said “You are now a grown cutie. Let’s talk more from now on” He nodded in response and we both walked back to the open field where I spread out all the delicacies I brought for
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 91. HER CRISIS
Madam Antonio took hold of what Monica said about her hearing that Laura owns Elite painting that she was digging into when she saw her picture.“I heard they are an upcoming company but if they could snag a contract with such a company then they have a powerful backing. It all makes sense now if Laura is truly the owner of the company” Madam Antonio thought aloud to herself as she paced to and fro the balcony before her aide arrived“You asked for me ma’am” the man said to call her attention and she halted.Turning to him, she closed the distance and kept her voice low. “Look into Elite painting, look for something that might prove the link between Laura and the company” she instructedWith a bow, he responded “I will do that with immediate effect” and walked away to carry out the task“You better not be the one behind all these mess. If not, I will show you how vicious a woman can be because of her child” she muttered, her eyes brimming with anger.Few hours after, her aide came bac
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 92. MY PROMISE
I thought hard and long about where to start looking for the truth because I couldn’t just sit down and rely on the memories that I wasn’t sure was even accurate. Since my mother adopted me or probably found me somewhere, she would surely be the starting point of where I have to follow in order to retrace my step.I met her coming back from the supermarket and was about entering the house when I got there. Judging from her expression, she was shocked to see me suddenly show up in front of her house because I have never been there.“Do you have some time to spare?” I blurted out“Sure, come in” she responded and opened the door for me. We both walked into the house and I took my time to look around. It was a bit better than my father’s house and nothing special was going on except the necessities that were needed in the house. One strange thing was that I couldn’t find any picture of the both of them among the picture frames that were hung, instead they were individual pictures.I was

“I want you tonight” I muttered and clung to him the more.My mind was extremely blank and I didn’t even know what to do but seeing how I came straight to him for comfort, he was the best option I needed that night.“I am here baby, for as long as you want” he assured me and wrapped his hand around me tighter to pull me to himI raised my head to look into his eyes and the silence in the room raised the tension between us. I couldn’t stop staring at him and he didn’t avoid my gaze too. With a leapt of my feet, I pressed my lips against his and slowly closed my eyes to enjoy the moment.He didn’t dull me out and parted his lips to give me access, the kiss started sensually before the intensity gradually was raised and within the span of minutes, we were raving each other’s mouth hungrily.We kissed our way to the sofa and he gently laid me down without disconnecting our locked lips, he was kissing every corner of my mouth and taking the lead steadily. I didn’t open my mouth and just fo

Immediately we finished discussing that night, he picked up his phone and placed a call through to someone I couldn’t see his name. They discussed for a while about their lives and jobs before he threw out the suggestion of them meeting up the next day.“Another bird sighted” was the code he gave and I tried to understand what he meant by that for quite a while but couldn’t so I gave up and just minded my businessThe other person talked for a while on his own end before Stanley was able to continue the conversation with “Are you sure and ready?” With the way the conversation went, it was definite that the person accepted to meet with me and I couldn’t stop thinking about who it could be.“Will I be able to recognize them? What if they don’t know me? What if it’s someone I don’t know? Also what if we didn’t have a good rapport in the orphanage?” I poured out endlessly, pacing up and down the room as I got readyStanley just stood there beside the door looking at me display all I want
