Marixa promised to be the one who would buy a phone to my daughter, and so I decided to just give my Kyra a laptop so that she would be comfortable when she's doing a research. She deserved the gadgets, anyway.

Now, she's finally sleeping with her parting lips. Unlikely, here I was being the most influential over thinker again. The words my daughter had said awhile ago just marked in my mind for too long. I was glad to know that she found me a complete package. That she did not need a father anymore. That I was enough for her. For all the years living with her, that was the very first that she became very vocal about her father. I meant, I thought she was not thinking about him. And little did I know, Kyra was somehow searching for one.

"You do not need a father like him, Kyra," I said, although I knew only me could hear me. "You are too good for him. I do not even think he will love you. Maybe... He is already happy now with his own family.

    I told her everything, how it started and how it also ended. My daughter's eye were the proof how terrible my story was. Her eyes were telling me that my story was the worst one she had ever heard. All of her life, she grew up hearing fairytale-like stories, and so I could not blame her for acting like this. It's no one fault why I got like this."He's a bad husband," I saw her teeth gritting. I saw this coming. Her hating her own father was already predictable, but then, my main goal in here was not to worsen her hatred but for help her to know the whole story because she deserved it. "Mom," she called me again, and this time, her voice was about to break. "You should have told me that my father was like that... I regret asking God to meet my father. I should have known sooner how bad he was to you. He should not let you leave. He should have made you to stay no matter what it takes. But what he did? He did nothing. He took care someone whom he was not his wife He should hav

    "I have something to tell you..." Marixa.I had just finished my daily morning routine, and that's to take a quick bath. Now, Kyra was already in school. And here I was also ready to take care of my own responsibility as well."What is it?" I said, trying to look interested even though my mind was already computing some digits, so ready to work."I have found a news about your family..."That made me stop. My mind also did. Seconds needed to pass first before I woke up from being frozen."You have what?""I was just curious and I am not that busy so I contact my boyfriend's connections that are also close to your family's business. And guess what? You are so damn wrong."What did she mean by that? In where part did I go wrong? Did she mean I misinterpret something?"Yes, you are a fool." Wow, that got me. Though she continued, "You are by thinking that Felicia died."The hair of the back on my neck just stood. "N-no way-

    Medias were busy right now because of that incident. Wherever I went -- in Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or in any other social platforms -- all I could see was the explosive news about that sudden danger yesterday. I knew-- I definitely knew how I prayed again and again to forget that occurrence, but just how unlucky I was, here I was eavesdropping from group of my employees who were talking about the happenings yesterday. For sure they knew more than I did."Is that true? Then the suspects must have been caught already! They are all powerful and together they filed lots of cases! Gosh! I could not imagine how cool it is!" someone said, and I just stared at my laptop, acting like I was focused doing my work.The thing was, I had the right to discipline my workers because it's now working hours and they should be doing their responsibilities, but it seemed like I needed their conversations with one another."Actually, I have found something. Did you know that there

    And now I was finally home. After watching videos all about Marcus and Ambrosia's family, I felt like I needed to calm my rapidly beating heart. Kyra was peacefully sleeping as I held her hair and caressed it using my finger.Funny how I did not get tired after all what happened in this day. I still had the cues to know more about the issue. That's why I even thought that focusing on my work would not happen again by tomorrow."Something is wrong about your daughter," Marixa said, and that's a puzzle for me."What do you mean?""Minutes ago when she was still awake, she wanted to tell something, although she hesitated a lot. That is why I just waited you thinking you are the one she wants to talk with."I was in the middle of my guessing as my daughter woke up. She strangled her cute hands around my neck, and I helped her to sit properly. Her lips parting, she looked at me for a moment, probably registering everything she saw. "Mom..." she whispere

    I thought I would be somehow calmed by tomorrow, but that did not happen at all. Because I even felt more uncomfortable. I kept walking back and fourth deciding something. Should I let Kyra to go to school now? I shook my head. I was getting paranoid."Hey, I am getting dizzy at your movements. Care to sit down," Marixa told me, but I did not listen. I once said to Kyra to just absent today, but she did not want it because she said she had lots of school activities now. She even cried, that's why I was afraid to force her again knowing she was being so emotional. I did what I planned yesterday -- and that was to hire a guard for her safety.I used all my connections, and that also meant doing the thing I did not want to do, and that was to used my power as 'Klein' to make sure Kyra would be safe. Marcus promised last night, and I hoped he would make it true."I requested a help from my husband. Guess what? He sent two bodyguards for our Kyra," Marixa calmed me d

    "I am sure you two will be comfortable here."I nodded at Marcus' statement. Based on the broadness of this place, I was sure we would not really feel that Marcus was also here. The thing was, Marixa decided to let me move in this place. I also asked my child and she just agreed. Of course, it was not a good idea if I let my house without having someone to live in it, that was why Marixa was there. She decided to just visit us in here.I had trusted Marcus. Well, we always teased and yelled at each other, but there was a fact we're cousin that gave me cues to accept his offer."Thank you again," I said as I felt mychild hugging my waist. Marcus' eyes went down her, and his face brightened up, being emotional in his expression. "Kyra, this is Marcus, he is your uncle. He is my cousin so you can trust him. Say Hi to your uncle."Kyra stopped for a moment. Being as a good child as she was, she went closer to him and hugged him. Marcus was shocked at he

    I guessed, my child hoped so high because of Marcus' teases. Stopping myself from being irritated, despite I was already rolling my eyes, I sat again trying to act like nothing happened."Mom, I think you should go in a date!" Kyra commented, and everyone laughed, excluding me, but Marcus really had a plan to kill me -- his laughters overflowed, and I did not like that."No, Kyra. I an too busy to do that," I tried again to sound so normal. "Do not mind your Uncle Marcus' words. He is just bored that is why he is doing all of this..."I heard him laughed again. With a little amused grin in his face, he bid his good-bye. He told me he would have a rest. And would just come back again later. I sighed. How I wished he would stay asleep for hours."If you do not mind, Sydney, I have a favor..."I looked at Mom in awe as she said that.Favor?"Umm- this is all about Kyra. I am too blessed to see her like this that is why I want to bo

    An specific memory flashing in my mind, I forced myself to sleep. I should sleep now. I should. I should! Stop thinking about what happened earlier!Luckily, I made myself to fall into sleep. The sun was already rising the moment I woke up, I looked around and remembered that my Kyra was not in here around me. So, I just cleaned myself before I went outside my room. I marched toward the place where Neil and I had a date yesterday. It was in the garden.The table was still in here. Though it was not filled with delicious foods anymore. I noticed that the whole place was being designed with so much effort. I just did not pay attention in this thing yesterday because I was too focused in having a small conversation with Neil. With that, I remembered what he had said again. His words still echoing in my mind."I am sorry again..." he said. And I could judge the truth that he was indeed not guilty. That Marcus was the one who deserved to be punched. "But I actually a

    Mom and I were finally okay. She asked for my forgiveness even though I never loathed her. For all the bad things she had done to me, I still loved her. Nothing could change that fact."What is the name of this place once again, Mom?" Kyra asked curiously as she roamed her eyes around the place.A smile touched my lips. "Azucalda."We were safe to live not worrying about anything. Ambrosia's family were now settled in jail. Daniel, also, already found his life, the woman who would change the fake romantic love he felt towards me. "This is where we belong, Kyra. Be comfortable in this place, because starting from now, we will leave here, we will start new memories," I hugged her."When Dad will come back?" she asked me out of the blue. "I mean, we have been already waiting for years! Last night, Dad and I talked, but since this morning, he never texted me anymore. I am worrying, Mom! What if he alread

    "If I could just turn back the time."I was used to say that statement to myself. Days and years without Sydney, I realized life was hard without her. Though I had no choice, I could not get her back because I had no right. I hurt her. I should face the consequences of my actions."Sydney has a daughter, Auntie. And she is now currently studying. She is an academic achiever," Marcus informed me. Marcus was one of my enemy before even though we were blood related, but as time gone by, we became close and decided to help each other."I have a granddaughter, then..." I whispered using my weak voice. That meant that Sydney was pregnant during the moments she was not in this country. That meant she lived without my guide. That meant she raised my grandaughter alone. "I have remembered what you told me before. You told me she has a business in this country, right?"He nodded. "She owns a grocery."&

    We still lived in the same house, and I witnessed how they both loved each other. But I never liked that."Auntie Trinidad, I successfully closed the deal," Neil announced to me. To my delight, I smiled. "Thanks to Sydney, though. He pushed me to work hard."I heard a lot of news from work, especially from company employees. Because Sydney and Neil worked often at the same time... they also went home together so that caused surprise to others."I know they are both married," Marcus threatened me. This businessman had never really changed. Still ruthless. There was no sanctification. Even so, I still treated him well because we were just relatives. I know he was not gay to spread the word."Just do not let them know." I got up. I would have planned to build a boutique. Because since I was a child, that was really what I wanted to have. Now that Neil was taking care of the company, maybe

    "Starting today, you are the only one I will love. Expect me to love you every day."I closed my eyes when Zimon, my husband, gently gave his tender kisses to me. To this day, I still could not believe it. We were married. We were officially legal.Our family welcomed us as well. Nothing could stop us from being together. We would also be able to form our dreams together, and one of them was having a child, or if possible ‘children’. We even wanted a girl to be our first child. But what the Lord gave us, we would wholeheartedly accept it."Zimon, here is your lunchbox. Please, do not stay up too late at work. I know you want to give us a very good future but we are already rich. I am not proud of our living condition, but I just hope you learn how to rest, okay?"That was really what I kelt reminding him of. Health was important so I wanted him to take care of himself.

    How many times had I tried to love my child as much as many mothers like me love. But even so, I still could not bear to look at her without remembering what his Dad did to me and how he hurt me until I was exhausted.I could say that me giving her birth was the most important event in my life, but like I said, I could not... I could not afford to love her, because whenever I smiled at her, I felt like I just forgave her Dad right away. And for me, that shoul not have happened. No one could stop me...I did not know if my own child hated me. If she wanted to hate me until she voluntarily gave up, go on! I did not care. Even if it was bad in the eyes of others, I would do what I thought was good for me, for the comfort of my chest."Is the average yourself from studying? How dare you smile at me while you were showing this shit to me? How many times have I told you that this grade is not enough for me? You are stupid, really. I am still wondering why you ev

    When we were at the venue, we looked around. Until the woman who invited us to be in here acknowledged us with a big smile. I immediately recognized her because of the sweetness of her smile. She talked to us and the other guests. I could say the event was really social and prepared for elites because you could just see from the guests' gowns that they were really expensive. Not to mention that Neil Sandoval was admired by many."Hi, there is still an empty table near the long table. Other guests also want to meet you. Because you know how much everyone admires you, Neil Sandoval," the woman praised him again.Neil was really grabbing attention now, not only because he was handsome in what he was wearing, but also because he looked like the girl he was holding so tightly. Just a look at them and you would know that they were blood related - the way they walked was similar.Anyway, he was no longer wearing jogging pants. Before we finally went here we also reserv

    "Thank you, Sydney," said the one in front of me. Because of the bonfire, his eyes seemed to be on fire as well. You could even mirror yourself through those orbs. "I will be back. I will be back safe. I am not going to hurt myself."I knew. Because of Kyra, you would have even more reason to be safe forever. We both knew we could not afford to see Kyra struggling, so that was enough reason for both of us to make sure we were safe."Are you cold already? Do you want us to go inside?" he asked me."You? Do you want to?""Yeah, so that Kyra can lie down properly."I laughed and immediately stood up. We entered the house, and I helped him put Kyra to bed. Even though I was just helping, I could already feel the weight of my daughter."I'm leaving--"I stopped him."Just sleep here. It's okay with me."He was shocked. He looked at me with indescribable amazement in his eyes. "All right. But I will just sleep on the sofa so y

    "You are really sweet, Dad! Mama must have sweetly answered you so you prepared all of these!" Kyra shouted happily at Neil. Neil, on the other hand, still looked serious, who also seemed to just chose to smile even though the truth was, just like me, he also felt a lot of embarrassment right now.Soon, the cold wind blew, and we all sat down to begin what had to begin."Kyra, darling, don't be surprised by what we are going to say but ..." Neil took a deep breath, and in the depth of it, I almost drowned. "I'm doing this for you, for your future and for your mommy's. I can't just be here forever and happy without worrying about of our business."Kyra fell silent. Her smile faded. She turned to me, and I averted my eyes. I had tears in my eyes now, and I did not want them to see me being emotional.Maybe it was just because I was so tired. Tomorrow, I would definitely okay again."Are you leaving?"

    I almost kissed him. I meant, I almost kissed him! Marcus' appearance was really right so that Neil wouldn't think that only Azucalda would soften my heart and push me to kiss him. Goodness, I still had to control myself. It was not because I was happy with what he said that I would tolerate it. You were indeed a great fool, self."Oh, why did you two stop? Go on with what you were supposed to do and I will just quietly watch it." And as expected, Marcus never left us again. He would really use what he saw to make me die of nervousness. "It's a pity that Kyra did not see you almost kissing. I hope I was able to take a picture too!"Neil picked up some sand and threw it towards my cousin's face. I also wanted to keep laughing at him because his cheeks were red like a ripe tomato."Jerk! Get out of here! You have a business problem so prioritize that over messing with us here!" I told him.
