Getting to extrance of the airport, the eerie feeling of déjà vu got Ann and it hit her had like a brick. Standing still in front of the airport, she remembered how she passed through those same extrance of the airport feeling so lost, dejected and a no body to relay on. She went through all that but returned proud, fulfilled, happy, wealthy, a mother entitled and that meant everything to her. She could see the reflection of her former self in the windows as if a vision passing by in a flash, she could still remember distinctly, the betrayal she felt, her anger, her pain and her tears but that also made her swear revenge on that man and that woman. That swore revenge in the past was the main reason she returned to the country aside feeling homesick all this while and wanting to show her babies their home country. She clearly remembered her disarrayed appearance when she finally made it to the airport that day.Lost in her thought and anguish, her hands were unconsciously clenched into

All the attention he was getting from even her own best friend was getting Ann more and more curious about the new comer. The curious she gets, the angrier she became as time passes. The clock was ticking and her best friend won’t shut up about him, it always,’Oh my gosh! Rex is so handsome, did you see the way he smiled at me? Oh that pants dropping smile, Rex is staring our way’. Ann scoffed when she remembered her lovesick expression.“Enough already Judith! this craziness have got to stop and it has to stop now! I need my mental health intact and all this craziness with your constant oh Rex is! or oh Rex that! is making me lose my last brain cells and I don’t want to be brain dead before enjoying what's left of my poor life! so please shut up about it for a fu*cking minute!!”,Ann outburst angrily. Her nostrils were already flaring.Ann sighed in relieve when she didn’t hear anything from her friend for a while but then, she noticed it was too silent, too quiet for their surrounding

Just when they reached the right corner at the far end of the washroom, where they will appear well hidden from the wondering eyes of many, Ann leaned on the wall and sighed in relieve. Her heart was palpitating hard and her hands sweating profusely, what she just went through was a bit traumatic for her. She jumped up immediately and her eyes wide open, as if remembering something very important, she turned sharply to Judith and asked,” who-who is he?, who is this Rex Radford?”.Judith stood there frozen for a while, too surprise to alter a word. After a while and a lot of blinking she turned her attention to the expectant Ann and spoke slowly to her as if talking to a child, “ what? You-you mean to tell me that you had no idea who Rex Radford was and you choose to disgraced him like that? oh my gosh! Oh! Oh my gosh! Of-of cos you don’t know him, why did I follow you blindly? Oh! Oh! I should have warned you but when I saw him smiling and approaching us like in the movies, I was mesme

Ann couldn’t sleep a wink that night, she was wide awake in bed with a lot on her mind. She was wide awake, sometimes looking around the empty apartment, other times tossing and turning in bed but most times scenarios of what she thought might happen to her in the future. She was anxious and restless.She checked the time a dozen times throughout and currently it’s a few minutes past 3am. She sighed regretfully,’ maybe I should just run away to Mexico and change my name to Aurora or Amor. I might even end up selling tacos for a living, marry an old farmer and bore him so many kids that we will form a foot ball team and earn lots of money through them’. She thought to herself sadly.After thinking about it for a while, she shock her head in disagreement, her life here might not be as fulfilling as she wanted but it was still worthwhile.‘Nahh that’s too low for me, even for me. Maybe, I should rather go to Vegas and get drunk, then I can get married to a rich guy when I wake up the next

Judith rolled her eyes with a playful smile on her face before it quickly turned into a look of concern.“Ooh Ann! I don’t want to get you angry or sad right now but the rumors and stories are bad. Every hierarchy had their own version of the stories, each gets worse from the previous ones I heard. I don’t think I should even be telling you this.” Judith stated as if in a deep thought and nodded her head quickly to herself, knowing she made the best decision for herself. Ann rolled her eyes at her and pouted. Rolling her eyes was die hard habit of hers whenever she’s in deep thought, nervous, anxious or angry but in this case it’s was for the anxiety of the unknown. “Stop over reacting Jud, I won’t die from hearing what others think about me and don’t forget I’m not weak either. There are just rumors with no truth in them, c’mon you can tell me”, Ann reassured her.Judith smacked her lips loudly, she knew it was no use to deny her request. Whenever Judith wants to know something or wa

This very day just happened to be the one day she felt worry free, it was one of those days in Ann’s life. Having such day for once in forever, she decided to let go of her worries and enjoy a little in her boring and old life.“ I will worry about what tomorrow will bring tomorrow but for now, let me pretend to be a normal teenager for once. Just for today, I’m going to be a normal teenager”, she whispered to herself in self encouragement. She looked out the window and closed her eyes, the feeling of the cold wind against her skin was refreshing. The drove was a fun one, the two friends drove to the fair in Judith’s van whilst singing off key to music play in the car. The music playing was loud but they were equally singing the songs at the top of their voices. Their off key singing earned them a lot of weird and annoyed looks from the cars and people they passed during their journey. They didn’t care, for the first time in a long while Judith saw Ann get lose and let her self go. Ann

Ann stood frozen in fear and the can of soda fell on the ground in shock,”did-did-did he mention my middle name?”. Ann stuttered the question to Peter.Peter’s glare at the wall behind her, accompanied with his silence and her rude colleague’s giggle gave her the answers to her questions. Indeed, the man knew her middle name as well. She gasped dramatically and flinched as if she was pinched into reality.Her colleague, Diana having thought of all the times Peter turned down her advances, decided it was the perfect time to pay Ann back.“Adorabele has a nice ring to it, it is truly a very a nice and adorable middle name Ann. I sincerely don’t know why you hate it so much.” Diana taunted. Ann shivered slightly and her fingers coiled in a tight fist. Although Diana taunted her with a warm and lovely look, she was sneering and laughing loudly within but her joy was short lived as Ann turned around quickly and pinned her to the pillar behind them. With a glare and gritted teeth,”if I eve
