Terror overtook Williams's face, as a vein popped out in his neck because of fright. He never imagined that he would see Austin again in his life.
It was Williams that recognizes Austin, but the latter had no idea if he exists or not. Jaden felt a bit embarrassed when he saw everyone focused on Williams, who stopped walking.
"Dad," Jaden stood up from where he sat and tapped his dad's hand.
"Yes son," Williams quickly put himself together and followed his son.
As both of them sits, all eyes that were staring at them in awe, looked away from their side immediately Williams sat down beside his son.
"What took you so long?" Jaden sounds delighted, as he asked him.
"It was the traffic!"
Williams answered but his mind was somewhere else. He kept looking at Austin with a side look.
"I thought as much... How's mom doing?"
"Your mom is fine. She's busy with some projects that's why she couldn't make it here." Williams explained.
The parent's meeting that was held regarding the next full moon, comes to an end.Austin was bent on seeing Williams so he confirms if they knew each other or not. He asked Sonia to go ahead to their car, and wait for him.For the first time, Sonia never argued with him, and gently walked out of the auditorium. Probably it was because of the crowd that was there, that's why she respected his decision and walks out quietly.Williams noticed how Austin has been looking at him during the meeting and he could tell that Austin might want to see him.Shortly after the meeting ended, Williams quickly walks out with few parents to avoid Austin. Unfortunately for him, as he steps out of the auditorium, he suddenly felt a cold hand on his shoulder.When he turned, he was surprised to see Austin, standing behind him."Hi" Austin's lower lip quivered as he greets him."I'm Austin!" Austin said to him with a smile, and extend his right hand for a
Austin was preparing for work the next day when he suddenly got an email from the company."An urgent board meeting! Who could have set up a meeting in the company without informing me first?"Austin got angry and didn't bother doing his tie any longer. He only buttoned up his shirt, and use some cufflinks at the hand of the white shirt he was wearing.He took his briefcase and rushed out of the bedroom. He went over to the shelf in the living room and took one of his car keys."Austin,"As he was about to step out of the house, Sonia suddenly called him."I don't have time this morning Sonia, we would talk when I get back!"Austin never bothered to look at her as he steps out of the house. Sonia didn't pay attention to what he just did either.***After about thirty minutes drive, Austin finally got to the company. He looked for a place and parked his car. He hopped down in a rush and walked into the company.As
"You are moving too fast, slow down Austin!" Herbert yelled from behind as he follows him."Please dad, I just want to be alone!!" Austin said as he hurriedly walks into his office.Bang!!"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh!!"Austin angrily took the flower vase on his table and breaks it. He screamed out loud and was about to take the next one when Herbert suddenly enters, and collect it from him."What's wrong with you Austin? Is this the next thing to do? Common put yourself together, and find a solution to this mess!" Herbert sounds so furious."How do I put myself together again? How do you expect me to get a solution to something that has happened? Michael and I have the same shares dad!!""That doesn't mean he has equal rights as you do! I can transfer mine if you want." Herbert tries consoling him."It's a too late dad! Just leave me alone!" Austin yelled at his dad without thinking straight."You can't give up now son!
Ever since Williams came back from the Academy, he hasn't been himself. The fact that he saw Austin, has become more than a headache to him.He knows how smart Austin is, and can locate him if he wants to. A lot has just been happening to Williams lately which makes him not being too focused on Susan and her pregnancy."I don't know how I got into this mess... First, it was Ms. Lauren, and now Austin. Is this karma for what I've done in the past?" Williams lie on the bed and kept thinking out loud."How do I tell Susan what I've done to her? And coupled with the fact that, I pretended as if I saved her! It's just ridiculous to say!""Or do I summon the courage and tell her everything? No! I need to wait till she gives birth to our child first. Then I will explain everything to her. But for now, I need to focus on her, the baby, and Jaden's welfare at the Academy..."Williams said to himself with certainty and stood up from the bed. Sitting idle and
The path at Jaden's feet fades as it leads into the darkness of the woods. He kept following what his heart says without having a second thought. It must be for the sake of his curiosity.Somewhere in there, are the answers he needs, and so his feet follow the narrow strip of naked earth among the giants of root and leaf.Jaden let his hands touch all the leaves as he passes, feeling their gentle spirits soothe his soul. He opens up his other senses to sound, to the aroma, and listens very carefully to every instinct within him.As Jaden continues striding in the woods peacefully, he suddenly saw an abandoned house from afar. Without having a rethink of what could be inside the house, Jaden bravely moved closer to it.Luckily for him, the house seems unlocked and he slowly enters it. He saw a little lamp by the entrance and picked it up to guide him through the house.The spirit of the house had rescued itself by sleeping in the walls, by retreatin
Sonia was worried all through the night because of Michael's interview and had a sleepless night.She woke up very early the next day, to get prepared for her journey to Michael's place. By the time she was done preparing, it was already past 8 am.She went to check on Austin and was surprised not to see him in his room. He has gone to work."That's quite too early for him to leave for work! Is he alright?"Sonia closes Austin's room door and heads downstairs. She picked up her bag from the couch and leaves the house...On her way there, she kept calling Michael, but he wasn't picking up just like last night that she called him."Why is Michael not picking my calls? He is bent on destroying my family to the fullest!" Sonia said to herself with a grin and hits the steering wheel so hard. "I need to fix this!"Finally, she got to the house where she came to meet him the last time. She got down from the car, and walk over to the building
"What the hell did you just do now!" Jaden yelled at Rocky with much anger. If he hadn't held himself together, he would have fallen so hard to the floor.Joey was stunned too by what Rocky just did. Why would he push Jaden without giving him notice? It was an absurd action and stupidity at its highest peak."I'm deeply sorry Jaden, it wasn't intentional..." Rocky pleaded as he stood in between Joey and Jaden, trying to cover Jaden's back."Not intentional?" Joey sounds surprised as he stares at him, all confused."Yes Joey, it was a mistake!" Rocky replied.Jaden was so furious that he didn't know what to say next. Only a blind person wouldn't know that Rocky did not do it intentionally. It was pretty obvious that he knows what he was doing."Would you please stay away from me? I don't want to have anything to do with you! Stop entangling yourself with me for goodness sake!" Jaden warned him."It's okay Jaden, just let it go!" Joey q
As Mr. RR walked out of the auditorium, everyone was dismissed from there also.Jaden holds Roselyn's hand and leads the way out of the auditorium. Joey and Rocky were at their back too."What time is it now?" Jaden asked as he and Rose steps outside."It's 7:30 pm!" Rocky replied from behind.Jaden looked back, and frown fiercely at him. When Rocky saw his eyes, he smiled at him and turned to Joey;"Let go to the garden, we have only thirty minutes left!" Rocky said.Jaden felt reluctant to go at first, but had no choice since everyone is heading towards the garden, he has to follow them.When they got there, everyone was busy having conversations with their friends. Jaden and the other three, formed a circle while being seated."Hey Rocky, how long have you been here?" Roselyn suddenly asks."Huh? Me?" Rocky sounds surprised at her question. "Not too long.""How many years precisely?" Jaden intentionally asks an
