He called out to her, even knocked on the glass window just so she would stay awake. Keith was practically dragging the handle of the door but it wouldn't budge. He’s seeing her losing her focus, her eyes were a bit hazy as she looked at him. Keith bet that she didn’t even recognize his face. And for the first time, he felt scared to lose someone in front of her.Keith immediately called for an ambulance before attending to them once again. He couldn’t think straight. And he had to compose himself so he could decide what matters most.He feared that he wouldn’t see Amanda again if he didn’t act quick. And so without hesitation, he busted the car’s window with his elbows. With enough strength, he managed to break the glass but sustained deep injuries in his skin. But it doesn’t matter. It didn’t matter as long as he could save Amanda’s life!From the outside, his hand reached for the handle and unlocked. Keith instantly opened the door and carried Amanda to safety. And then he noticed
Amanda woke up in a place almost all in the color of white and with the smell of antiseptic. Still groggy. She couldn't move her body freely, felt all energy had been exhausted for some reason. And then her eyes scanned the whole place and saw a few hospital apparatus next to her. And one of them was for monitoring the heart beat and rate.She could hear her heartbeat. It feels strange hearing it coming from a machine.Then her eyes noticed a man sitting on one of the couches nearby. He’s reading some sort of magazine when their eyes meet. And Amanda instantly recognizes Richard.“Richard,” she uttered in a hoarse voice. Amanda felt her throat and mouth dry and wanted some water but she asked what’s important to her the most. “Where’s Alma?”“And my twins?” She asked as she felt her tummy lose the bump. She’s not supposed to give birth yet. The babies are still premature at this time of the month. Amanda felt that she lost something important. And she’s shedding tears while looking at
With all the stress that piled up recently, Amanda finds herself dozing off to sleep. In her dreams, she’s in the middle of the vast meadow full of lush green and wild flowers. The sky was blue and peaceful, clouds were scattered as a cool breeze passed her. Then after sometime she heard hearty laughter from the distance. Amanda was familiar with that laughter. It was coming from her son, Sandro. Instinctively, she followed where it came from and was perplexed to see the view that it made her cry a lot.Sandro was playing with this little girl. And with them was her best friend, Alma, and her parents talking to each other over a picnic. As if noticing her presence, they all looked in her direction and smiled. Alma waved back at her, so did her parents. And the kids run towards her, welcoming her with a big hug.However, she was more puzzled to understand that the little girl Sandro's playing with was indeed Kenny.Kenny…Amanda woke up from her dream as someone dared touch her in the
The message was from an unknown number. But the moment she read the message, she was utterly disappointed. She never gives her personal number to anyone unless he or she is a family member. Amanda always separates her family and business affairs that’s why she’s using two separate phones. And to think that Keith’s lover would know her number enraged her. Sarah didn’t know the implications of her actions. The woman was clearly invading her private space.And what’s worse was that Sando was in her place. Amanda wasn’t aware of that. And to think that Richard decided it himself and not asked permission from her enraged her. Whatever the reason was, she’s still the mother. And as a mother, she obviously has to know the whereabouts of her own son.She thought that they had come to an understanding. It seems that Richard was doing things a little overboard this time.She took a few deep breaths and replied to Sarah, asking for their residence’s location as she’s going to pick up her son no
Amanda and Sandro are on their way home when she tried to make a conversation with her son.“Schucki, why did you end up going to Kenny’s place?” While she had no problem with that, she’s worried about one thing. And it’s all about Sarah.“Auntie Sarah told me to go with them while we are heading to the bus.”She nodded. “Is that so?” Amanda can see the scenario before her eyes.“Yes, She even talked to our teacher and even called Dad.” Sandro added.“Really?” Amanda wanted to pluck every hair on that woman’s body. SHe’s getting frustrated every second she discovers the truth.“Yes, Mom. But I’m really happy that I came since I got to play with Kenny more,” Sandro said smiling. And it melted her heart and all her frustrations subsided a little.Amanda had the hunch that Sarah was plotting something. She had to know that woman’s intention. She believes that this will not be the last time that Sandro will be visiting Keith’s place. Now that the kids were best of friends, this kind of se
Keith was not aware that Sandro was in their home that time. Sarah had brought Amanda’s son with them that afternoon so the kids could play in the garden. Amanda looked worried as he told her about it. And it makes him wonder why?What’s wrong if her son played with his daughter inside of their home? The problems of the adults should not affect the children. And besides, Kenny and Sandro are good friends, and the little boy could even spend the night with them if he would want to.But he guessed it’s just the mother in her that makes her worried about her son. If it ever happened to Kenny, he’ll probably move heaven and earth just to know that she’s safe and secure.To avoid any unnecessary attention, he just let her follow him until they reached his apartment style house in this exclusive subdivision. And they were greeted with hearty laughter from their garden.The moment they noticed their presence, they ran towards them. Keith carried Kenny like he used to while Amanda looked afte
The kids ran to them as permitted by the principal, Sandro came to her while Kenny to her father. They looked not sorry for what they did. And if she would assess the situation, it’s obviously the fault of the bully! Sandro will never start a fight without any valid reason. And Amanda made sure to instill that to her son, to only fight when he was being suppressed or someone dear to him was being bullied.She turned to Kenny and the poor little girl had dirt on her face. Amanda reached for her and wiped the dirt off. Kenny smiled at her and hugged her father more.“Aren’t you supposed to reprimand your twins? They are at fault here!” The bully’s mother shouted. She forced herself to smile even if she wanted to put a tape on her big mouth.“They are not twins, for your information—”“I don’t care!” The other mother exhaled. “Have you seen their faces! They look almost similar to each other even with the color of their eyes!”“But anyway, that’s not the issue. The fact that your kids hu
It’s almost seven in the evening when the movie finished. She was happy that the kids enjoyed watching that Disney film. She promised to both Kenny and Sandro that this wouldn’t be the last time they would have a movie date. She even said that they’ll have this kind of entertainment perhaps twice a month if permitted by her schedule.The smile on their faces was priceless, Amanda had embedded the image into her mind. She even got pictures of the two on her phone. Just in case she needed something to motivate her to work, she could just stare at these cuties for the time being.The three of them just got out of the theater when she received a call from an anonymous number. She immediately answers the call wondering if it would be Keith, and she’s not mistaken as she heard Keith’s voice over the line.“Hi!” She realized that her voice sounded so excited and cleared her throat. “Hi, how did you get my number?”“Hello, Amanda,” Keith said on the other line, totally ignoring her question.
