Oscar took multiple trips going to the church and back.
The neighbors who saw the fiery red SUV were surprised and curious as to who the owner was.
Those who saw them step out from the car and head inside the church were the ones who first found out. They whispered to their neighbors beside them about the Salcedo family bringing a car that looks brand new.
Finally, one brave soul voiced out her curiosity to Estela.
“Estela, I saw you step out of the red car.. Did you buy that? Is that brand new?”
“Ah–yes. It is.” Estela smiled.
The woman wanted to ask more but Es
Days have passed.Dawn and her siblings have arranged a surprise party for their mother at a hotel restaurant, inviting their closest relatives and their mother’s closest friends. Dawn also extended the invitation to her friends and their families. And after much thought, she also invited Keenan and Blake telling them that they could bring their parents if they’re available. Even so, she told herself not to expect their attendance since the Alegre family wasn’t like any regular family.The hotel was decorated with purple flowers and gold accents and white table and chair covers. There were balloons at the entrance of the event hall and at the stage. On the stage was a long golden chaise at the center where Estela would sit. And behind her, on the wall were letterings, greeting her a Happy birthday.
Making their way towards the table where her friends were at, she brought Keenan and Blake to sit with her.Dawn sat next to Valerie. Keenan then accepted the extra chair and sat next to Dawn. Blake chose to sit next to Aria.“Hey..” He greeted Aria.“Hey.” She nodded. “I didn’t know you guys were coming.”“Yeah. Dawn got us invitations. Our parents are over there.”“She invited your parents too?”“You could say that.” He nodded. “Well, it was for me and Keenan and she told us that we could bring our parents. So we
That Sunday, after the mass, they all went to the beach for another celebration for Estela’s birthday. They hired a jeep to bring those who didn’t have their own cars or motorbikes to use to go to the beach. This was the time that Dawn and her nieces and nephews met with their cousins and other aunts and uncles. “Wow.. what a grand celebration!.. Is this all Selene’s work?” “Probably. Which of her kids can afford this? Only the one who works abroad, right?” “You’re right.” “Haaaayyyy.. If only I had a daughter like that..” “T
Dawn excused herself when she saw Aria beckoning to her.“I’ll go with Aria..” She said to them.“Okay. Just come over when you get hungry..” Tara said to her.“Mn!”Although Tara, Selene and Linus were of different batches, their areas were close to one another.Dawn went to Aria.“They’re outside.” Aria told her.Valerie and the others have been texting them since they arrived.The pair went to the little garden near th
Not only that, he also heard about nuns playing the piano or former teachers teaching in an empty dark room.These were ridiculous stories and were probably all made up.But at this moment, whatever happened to Dawn was something no ordinary person could understand.At this moment, Dawn looked frail.Although her color had come back, she was still slightly cold.Picking her up, he carried her to the cafeteria where the others were headed.Keenan had to answer their questions afterwards as Dawn rested on his lap.Aria came over bringing a f
She couldn’t sleep so she went on her laptop and distracted herself by finishing a book. As usual, Aria and Valerie are her beta-readers. She printed two copies for them both. After that, she was already feeling tired so she climbed into bed and fell asleep. Not long after, the alarm rang. “Ughhhh..” She rubbed her face against her pillow. She barely slept when she had to wake up again. Shutting off the alarm, she got ready. The sun wasn’t up and it was still dark outside. She took a quick shower to get rid of most of the sle
Soon it was time to give their offering.Everyone made little movements so as not to make their noise echo throughout the walls of the church.Keenan played the piano as the choir sang.With one of the microphones close to Dawn, it had amplified her voice. However, since that was not the only mic stand, they couldn’t determine if that was her voice, or the other’s.The mass continued. And soon, it was time to receive the sacramental bread.The choir first stood and were given the sacramental bread. They prayed. Once Keenan was finished, he began to play the piano.Since Dawn was nearest
For a moment there, everyone sat still and frozen as they heard the different sound.“This is a violin? No, wait–it sounds different.” Jace gasped,“No, listen–this one is a violin.. Then there–that’s the cello.” Hugo said.“Che-lo? That’s what this is called?”“Yes.. It is pronounced that way. But it is spelled as C-E-L-L-O.”“It’s not Sel-yo, then?”“Eh–nope.” Hugo pursed his lips. He really just wanted to listen to the song but Jace just had to direct the question to him. He knew tha
