Chapter Twenty-four [ The landmark]

"What are you planning right now, and why do you appear so agitated and disturbed when you were just enjoying a nice, restful night's sleep here?”

Teddy had intended to move the landmark to allow the nearby farm to expand their covered field. Ericka, on the other hand, expressed her joy at Teddy's inability to react to the concept in a different way.

Teddy would prefer to say,

"In reality, I would like to bestow upon your family a few meters of more land that my mother seemed unwilling to relinquish since she longs to travel overseas with my father and remain there indefinitely." His eyes met hers as he awaited her response to his words.

He adds,

Ericka was unable to move from her bamboo bed due to the swelling in her foot. She is screaming and groaning, the roaring wind competing with her, and voices are emerging in the tremulous, stammered sound.She continued, "John, Kuya Randy, Where Are Mama and Papa? Can you come help me get out of bed?" adding, "I needed help because I had to go downstairs to the comfort room for an emergency because I had bad foot soreness."Something uncomfortable and awkward seeps into her voice. As soon as Teddy heard her, he slowly got up from where he had been lying next to John and moved toward her bedroom with the door open.Ericka is writhing in excruciating pain and tries not to let anyone touch her hurting feet. Her normal foot follows the one that hurts as she slowly and g

Now that you're all home, I can go. There are no longer any good reasons to be imprisoned here; therefore, don't waste money, time, or effort on being here. All that's sprained on this foot is edema. It will all disappear tomorrow.”Ericka begs to go home while fixing her intense gaze on her father. Ernest, however, intervened abruptly and urged that Erika stay in the free ward, displaying the results of her leg fractures and the crack stitches on her right forehead.Ericka's face appears terrible as she notices the bandage tied to her forehead and gradually moves it around using her finger. She also feels some pain. Ericka finds herself feeling depressed, her eyes gettin

Teddy, normally it merely tears up the surrounds for six seconds.”Ericka explains while she is hiding behind the shrubs in the midst of the large land border between the hospital and the enormous river bank, with Teddy clinging to her as well. Furthermore,“You should be aware that a whirlwind is a natural occurrence in which turbulence and instabilities brought on by gradients, heating, and flow currents or air orienting vertically generate a wind vortex or rotating wind column. Teddy, I discovered it while studying in school.”Teddy listens intently, knees trembling as Ericka speaks.“That is to say, as I recover quickly, I am excited to continue my studies. The next time, we should exercise caution and cut back on our playing. It would be better if we played inside, read books, had some indoor toys, and enjoyed some music. It's improved!"Teddy nodded firmly and gradually released h

    Chapter Sixty-three [ The Lovers of mans’ soul]Ericka couldn't help that morning while she was in Teddy’s car with her family but thought after hearing about that sporting event from her male playmates that early morning. She recalled how they had taken her to the secret hideout where the majority of male army guys hid."When we play those wild deer games, you should dress like a man." Additionally, "they must not identify you as female. Otherwise, they will become attracted in you, Ericka. If we are together, we shall tag you as Eric."However, Ericka and John keep that secret from everyone because, to them, the incident is merely a part of rural life and nobody is interested."Everyone is too preoccupied with their problems to bother other people's lives when it isn't required." Her face turns gloomy adding,“My father would have to compensate them for their work on the farm if they needed help and support. "She even defends the workers' problems, and she smiles quietly while her

Would you like to join us? “ As he is trying to persuade her.”Ericka, this is a very lucky night when the full moon shines to provide us with lights."Roy, her cousin, eagerly extends an invitation to bring her, saying,“We may invite John and the other four boys of Uncle Johnny as well because their house is perfectly located for us to play hide-and-seek. We can go quickly across the higher mountain and down the valley with the little rill that divided the owner of the field to your farm.”Adding a few justifications,“Do you believe that even if it's a little slick when we get on, we may use the dry coconut midrib as a sled to go down the region, making it impossible for the person on th

When everyone gets home, they all enjoy their meals and each other's company. They have a persistent mistrust about Ericka:"Why did nothing worse happen to her after an hour of submersion and why was she able to breathe like a fish?"Most of them lighten the tone of the interrogation by joking wi

She is further able to recall her trainer's instructions:“When diving, you lift your two straight arms over your head and let gravity carry your body freely until you reach the water's surface.When you tilt your body upside down and concentrate on diving straight to the water's surface, with your fingertips touching the water's surface first, it can protect your head. Your hands should firmly focus with straight arms until your head, shoulders, and entire body reach and submerge the water.To reach the target underwater, your two powerful, firm hands extend overhead until your entire body flips over, shielding your head with your two long, powerful arms.Like a bird that is about to nosedive and swoop straight to the water's surface, Ericka doesn't care about anything else anymore and maintains the same body posture while doing so

All we have to do is write down what we want, and they will deliver it right away!"Darwin and Teddy concurred with delight, and Ericka laughed quietly."And observe! It appears that this waterfall tourist destination still has something intriguing to offer. It appears to be a centre of worship for our beloved God over there.The image of our Lord Jesus Christ is located in a man-made garden that is comparable to the Garden of Gethsemane, and the sky is open and glistening with lights as bright as the sun.”Ericka demonstrates as Alona and Neste approach them and join her, who appears to have

It is your responsibility to look after Mom and her child.” Darwin finds what Ericka mentions surprisingly.“I had no idea that my son wanted a brother or sister. He longs for a large family, which is why they view you both as his brothers and sisters.Darwin chuckles as he gives him a big hug and invites him to go home to prepare for tomorrow's event.“We shall be leaving her before eight in the morning, Kuya. It would be wise to exercise caution, advise Ate Natalia to get enough sleep, and offer our congratulations on the new life she has inside her womb. May God bless you!"Ericka says this before Darwin and Teddy cheerfully depart.They were all restless and anxious about the upcoming events tomorrow, so they were unable to get a good night's sleep that night.

It's Thursday today and Friday tomorrow. One more day is available for us to explore and learn about the hidden areas close to our neighborhood and what awaits us at the end of this path trek.”When John says this, Ericka becomes intrigued and holds his hand as they eagerly go along the weedy trail. “Is it safe to bring this back to our residence, in your opinion? We could get lost in the process.”Adding,“It appears that only cars have been using this pathway for a very long time. John, which vehicle is coming in and using this path?"Since they never bring a weapon against silent intruders, John declines to respond and tells Ericka to keep quiet so as not to disturb any other living beings that may be there. He coiled a stiff vine after noticing it. Hi

They cheerfully invited Ericka to join them for a gang visit to swim in a remote waterfall with her male classmates, and she couldn't say no. Ericka is aware that she will face new difficulties as the gang will undoubtedly watch to see which of the girls will draw the boys to the swimming competition.“No! Since nobody will be left to watch over our residence here, I am unable to go to such a swimming party!”As one friend responded, Ericka's eyes widened and turned round.“Because you have amazing dogs that faithfully bark occasionally when something moves around
