“ I pray so.” They discussed over the wedding planning and how the preparation would be. Mrs Sotomayor suggested that they should make it a gigantic celebration, and if possible to invite the state governor to witness it. They all bought the idea, and they further went on to arranging the date for the ceremony and reception which Mr Richard suggested should be held on the same day. The planning was thought wisely and they came in conclusion that the wedding will be held on the 2nd of October, which was barely two weeks to come. John suggested they should go to the pizza store to buy a carton of pizza before they headed home. At first, Sonia decline they should buy a pizza but later changed her mind. “Fine. Just don’t take too long.” “I won’t. “ Sonia sat quietly, her eyes watched as different people passed the road and those who walked in and out of the pizza store. She picked her phone from her purse, clicking on the audio max app when she had downloaded most of her fa
John had left back to England to get things ready for the wedding which will be taking place at New York on Saturday which is in four days to come. The entire families of the Sotomayors has been nothing but a home of jubilation. Finally, another daughter from the famous family was getting married in the next four days. Sonia on the other hand couldn’t count her joy that she was going to be getting married to the man of her dreams, her very first love. While at work, she got a text message from her father telling her to show up at the same restaurant they had met the first time. Sonia didn’t dare to question why the sudden meeting, she felt it was a way to celebrate on their preparations. Mr Richard never mentioned inviting a friend, and he likewise never said he was going to invite one either. So all that was in Sonia’s mind was just him or if possible her mother too. She didn’t bother driving home first, as soon as she had dismissed from her office, she drove to the restau
“Miss Mayor.” Sonia abruptly stopped without her freewill but didn’t turn. “You should be on your way back home.” She said sternly. “ We were friends then all of a sudden you changed. I don’t know what happened that night but we can talk through it.” “ I don’t wanna talk about anything. Just. . . just go home.” She turns to him. “ You weren’t supposed to be there at the first place because I never called you. Can’t you understand? I don’t want to look at your face anymore. “ “ Why? Is there any thing wrong I did to you, I will sincerely apologise for it. “ “ I bet you don’t wanna know what you did to me. And it’s okay if we don’t talk about it either. It’s getting late, you should go home.” “ Then why avoiding me?” He asked desperately seeking for an answer from her. “Because you made me to. I shouldn’t have thought about you at the first place because I can see it’s the main reason why I feel this way. I shouldn’t have received any of your fu!king gifts. You made me tu
Sonia read through the lines of the letter and when she got to the middle, she started smiling. And from smiling, she began to cry. She wasn’t expecting it to be an apology letter, she was expecting something quite different. Maybe a letter of regret or something close to that. He was sincerely apologizing for something he doesn’t know about? Yes, she was angry. He walked into her life and changed everything. He made her love without a second thought. First sight and it’s all like eternity to her. Though she still regrets her actions, but she has a reason for doing what she did. “I wish you can give me the chance to be that perfect friend I couldn’t be.” That was the part which got her crying the more. She remembered those past moments with him. How they first met at the hospital, then at the conference hall. Their first dinner and little hangout at the Park Avenue. Those stares he always give to her, those sweet smiles. The flowers and friendship notes. It was all enough
“I’m glad you came.” Was the first thing that escaped my mouth. He turned to look at me, and he was putting on the same smile he always gives to me each time we met each other. And all I could do is to smile back.. . involuntarily. “I’m glad you texted.” He said. “Wasn’t intending on doing so.” I said frankly. Honestly, I wasn’t just intending to wake up one day and request for a meeting like this. Reading his letter gave me reasons why I have to meet with him tonight. “If you don’t mind me asking, what made you to?” He asked. “Before I answer that, tell me, did you leave that note on purpose?” I asked. He smiled. “ I knew that was the only way to get you to talk to me. Seeing how angry you were, I thought having a nice chat won’t solve a thing. So yes, I left it on purpose.” Sonia licked her lower lips before answering his question. “Back to your question, your letter made me to. Maybe you are right, we should talk about this.” There was a long pause between us. I
“I love you, Sonia.” I immediately felt goosebumps spreading all over my skin the moment he said that and also coupled with the fact that he just used my name for the first time. Did I just hear him say he loves me? And all this while I’ve been thinking it’s only I who keeps imagining his face and then seeing him standing right in front of me. And what keeps surprising me is the part where I don’t remember texting him and he suddenly shows up, claiming I did texted him. Or maybe, I did wanted to text him but forgot to do so. Then that means he somehow read my mind. I was surprised to talk. I was just looking at him like a moron. I can’t say I love him back. I’ve got John with me and now him, I don’t even know who I love. “I’m sorry if I went too far.” He apologized. I think he didn’t just say it because he wanted to, I think it all came out from the depth of his heart. I smiled. “Have you ever been in love before?” I asked. He shakes his head. “No.” “ Then it’s not yo
* * NEXT DAY*** * I woke up, yawning tiredly. I was shocked to see John sitting beside me. How did he get here? And how. . . Fu!k. I can’t even remember what happened after the kiss last night. “John?” He looked at me. “Hey, babe. You’re awake.” He said happily. “How did you get here?” I asked, surprised. “You told me you’ll give me a call when you get to the airport.” “ I did call you but you weren’t picking up.” I don’t remember seeing his missed call.” Where’s mom and dad?” I asked, referring to his parents. “ Oh, they’re at the family home. Do you wanna see them? “ He asked. “ I’ll do that later. I need to get ready for work.” I stepped out of the bed, heading to the bathroom. I went to ask one of the maids about what happened last night. “What happened last night?” I asked. “Someone brought you back home. You were in his arms, asleep. He said you were stressed out and. . .” I didn’t let her finish her statement, I cut in sharply. “Did he tell you his
WRITER ? * Sonia sat with John on the three sit couch. For a long while they were all quiet, passing each other a long glare. “ Sonia, you said you wanted to tell us something. Or have you changed your mind already?” Mrs. Sotomayor asked. “ Yes, I do want to tell you guys something, and it’s concerning about us. John and I want to say something, isn’t it, John?” She asked him. “ Yes, she is right.” John said like he was forced to do so. “ We both have something to tell you guys” “Okay. We’re listening.” Said Mr. Richard. “ John and I have come to a final decision that we are no longer interested in the marriage.” The both parents exchanged glances at each other. “ We do not want to continue further.” “What’s going on here?” Donald, John’s father said. “ What the fu!k does that even mean in the first place?” He yanked in his British accent. “ It means we have cancelled the marriage for a reason we are gladly ready to say.” She said, sounding a bit harsh. “ We’re li
Allison woke up, disappointed to see that meeting Dorcas is a dream. She felt sad and she wanted to meet with him in reality, but then she remembered what his mother told him concerning their meeting. They have to be patient for a little while until they meet. But the question is. . . How long do they have to wait for the right time? Allison went to the kitchen, luckily, she met her mother. Cynthia was fully dressed and ready to go to work, when Allison showed up. "Good morning, mom." Allison greeted her. "Morning, sweetheart. How was your night?" She asked. "Fantastic." Allison said, happily. "I can tell from the look on your face. Tell me, what made your night fantastic?" She asked. "I had the best dream ever last night and guess what it is?" "You met with your brother?" She guessed right. "Exactly. I saw both him and aunty Sonia, they both looked good together." On hearing Sonia's name, Cynthia hopes were high, indeed her sister was safe and sound in her new h
ALLISON ? * I was surprised to hear that. Mother never told me this for once all those years I kept asking her, but all of a sudden she is telling me now. Could that mean...? *Could that be mother knows some thing that I don't?* I thought to myself as I stared at her. "Do you know some thing about this mark, mother?" I asked. "Allison. . ." She tried to give her usual excuses but this time I wasn't interested in listening to any of them. "Mother, if there is any thing that has to do with this scar then I have every right to know. Why will you keep hiding the truth away from me? This is my scar, mother, I should know why I have it in the first place. Please tell me, tell me what it means." I pleaded. I could sense she wasn't ready to tell me what's behind the scar but I was determined to know. "The scar signifies the bind you share with the one who also bears the scar. It connects the both of you together, sharing your pains and emotions together. It was given to you b
20 YEARS LATER*** * "Mom?" Allison called from the sitting room as soon as she walked in. "Mom?! I'm back!" "I'm here!" Cynthia said from the kitchen. She went to the kitchen. "Afternoon mom." Allison greeted, pecking her mother's cheek. "Afternoon, sweetheart, how was school today?" She asked, chopping on the green beans. "It was fine mom. What are you cooking?" She asked. "Fried rice, hope you'll love it?" "Dad's favorite? Come on, mom, I love fried rice." She said in a delicious manner. "Why don't you take a shower and get some rest too, I'll call you when it's time for dinner." "Okay." She left for her room. Allison was done with the shower, she stepped out to change into her house wear. She felt a pain on her forehead at the position of the scar, it felt like a burning pain. She groaned, rubbing it gently. "Aahh! Fu*k" she cursed. "When will you learn to be merciful?" The pain seems to be increasing gradually. She didn't want to scream to avoid causing a
Dorcas woke up the following morning, feeling excited. He was damn so happy that he had the chance to see his cousin sister. Now that he has passed his scar to her, he can feel her even without visiting earth. "I saw her, I saw my sister." He said to Sonia who was likewise happy for him. "She looks beautiful." "It's your duty to protect and to take good care of her." "I will, mother." "Good. Have you eaten some thing yet?" She asked. "Not yet." He replied. "I was too excited so I said let me share my happiness with you." "You did the right thing. Now go get some thing to eat or else you grow thin and weak to protect your sister." She teased him. "I will never let a finger touch her hair, I swear." He was determined, and likewise confident in his word. **** Back to Jessica, Dorcas came to realize that he was missing some one. Before he could get to his room, she has already dressed it properly with his food on his table. He was done eating and he decided to take a
Dorcas was as still as a deep corpse, dreaming into the world Luci had created. He found himself standing in front of a brown door late in the night. The environment was a lot different from that of the underworld, leaving him to assume where he was. He offered a knock on the door but there came no reply from the inside. Then he held the door knob, using his mind, he opened the door under his control. He shuts the door close, making his way in. He looked around the building, and he saw directions which led to many rooms. Then he saw the staircase and he decided to follow it to the upper apartment. He made a stop at the last step, glaring around the rooms. He decided to think, to connect his mind with any living creature in the house. He felt his mind was linked to some one. Some one little and young. Her brain was empty and had no thoughts in it. He followed the direction which led to where the infant laid. He opened the door and he made his way in. He looked at the two cou
Sonia noticed how silent Dorcas had become, she looked at him and she noticed he was deep in thought. "Dorcas?" She called. "Dorcas?" She called again, flicking her fingers at him. He blinked, moving his gaze at her. "Yes?" He answered. "You look lost." She said, "What were you thinking?" She asked. Dorcas thought of what to say and avoided his mother from finding out about the maid. Thankfully, she isn't a demon who can read minds. "Nothing." He lied. "Nothing?" She repeated. "But you looked lost for nothing." "I was thinking. . ." "Thinking about what?" She asked sharply. "A woman? Have you found one already? Are you in love?" She asked inquisitively. She remembered back then when she first met Luci, how he took charge of her conscience and she has never thought straight without him getting involved. He was the only one who made her lost in the Pacific, imagining events that happened and are yet to happen. She believes the only reason why one has to think too fa
Jessica walked into the room with a tray which contained Dorca's breakfast. He was still asleep when she walked in. She dropped the tray on the table, then she went to shift the curtains aside. Quietly, began to arrange the room, not causing a noise to wake the young prince up. After she was done dressing the room, she went to wake him up. "Your highness?" She called. "Your highness, it's morning already." She said but he didn't wake up. So she decided to tap him instead. "Your highness? Your. . ." He grabbed her by the hand, causing her to shiver. She stiffened at his hold and he drew her closer to himself, their face close enough for a kiss. He smiled at how scared she was. "I'm awake." He said. He let go of her and she pulled away immediately. She was scared to have any thing to do with him, scared for so many reasons. She was scared of getting punished by the king and queen if they find out that she is so close to him. And she is only trying to save her life, besides, s
1 YEAR LATER*** * Dorcas has fully grown to a teenager, looking almost like in his early twenties. He is tall, fair skinned with dark black hair like his father. His deep sea blue eyes reflect that of Luci, and Sonia calls it the sexiest eyes she has ever seen. He has those long white teeth with pink lips which are so irresistible especially when he smiles. He has long fingers which almost look like those artificial nails women use on earth. He is just a perfect definition of what he is. Dorcas has been reading since morning, Sonia didn't want him doing any thing aside from that. He's been spending most of his time on irrelevant things but today, she had him under her custody and there was no escaping this time. Since Luci told her of his future, that was a year ago, she's been securing it and making sure he never deviates from his future or else he will end up damaging it. "I'm done reading, mom." He said, folding the scroll back. "So soon." She said, not quite surpris
"Now that he has grown, why don't we give him a separate room to stay?" She suggested. "I already have one prepared for him. Starting tonight, we'll have him sleep in his new room." Luci was so sweet at doing things ahead of time and that's what makes Sonia keep loving him the most. She never expected to hear him say that, but she was happy and ready to present the new room to Dorcas by herself. She went to confront Dorcas who sat on the same spot as she left. She walked to his front, squatting before him. "Hey." Dorcas looked away from her gaze, staring in a different direction. Sonia held his cheek, turning his gaze back to her. "Hey." She waved a smile on her face. "I wanna show you some thing, but that's only on one condition." Dorcas was looking at her but didn't give a reaction. "It's a surprise, a big one. Don't you wanna see it?" She asked him. He nodded his head. "But like I said, it's only on one condition. Do you wanna know the condition?" She asked again.
