Amira’s POV I was in a table near the door, peeling some oranges when I suddenly heard a noise coming from Elexier’s bed so I turned my gaze on that way. I saw Elexier trying to sit up his bed. I was shocked that he’s already awake so I attended to him quickly. I half run to get to him because of shock. “Elexier what are you doing? Stop moving if you still can’t! Your wounds will just hurt even more!” I said to him a bit loudly as I was surprised and happy at the same time. I held on to his arm and elbow to support him and just let go when he finally sat stably. He groaned because of pain coming from his shoulder. “Stay here I’ll just get you a nurse,” I said and then turned my gaze to the door. But even before I could take my second step to there, Elexier already got my elbow stopping me to get out. “Why? You need to be checked? I’ll get you assistance-” “I want to see

Elexier’s POV Seeing my mother lying in this bed just breaks me. Even when the nurse said that she is already safe, this still shouldn’t happen to her. She don’t deserve this. She has been a good mother to us and a good wife. I don’t know that father would really do that to her. I thought he can’t. But Iwas wrong because he is really willing to shoot her. And he did. I don’t know if I can still forgive him. But maybe. Maybe I can. Maybe I’ll forgive him if he just ask for it. He should ask for forgiveness from me, and my mother. I will give it to him. After all, he is still my father who only wants the best for us. He was just turned evil by the money and power that drugs is giving him. He is still my loving father, I know. I looked at my mother in pity. Mom, wake up please. I still need to apologize to you. My eyes are tearyand my nose is becoming runny. My vision is becoming bl

Amira’s POV Elexier fell asleep sitting in his wheel chair that night.I don’t want to disturb his sleep so I just got him a blanket and covered him up so that he won’t be cold. I also didn’t leave the room. I got my self a blanket and made my self comfortable in the chair in the other side of his mother’s bed. And I fell asleep on there too. I am only awakened every time a nurse will enter the room to check on Mrs. Villamorannas. The next day, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the familiar back of Elexier standing in front of a table preparing some foods. Maybe he felt that I am awake and that made his gaze turned on to me. My eyes is still half closed but I can see him smiling at me. “Did I wake you up? Sorry,” He asked while looking at his food. “No,” I answered. “Why are you standing? What are you doing? You should have waken me up to do th

Elexier’ POV I watched Amira as she picked up all her things and put it all in her bag. She waved bye to me and then walked towards the exit and closed the door. I still ain’t sure that she is safe out there. I can’t still help myself but be worried. The only thing that will make me feel okay about her going outside is if she is with body guards. At least there will be people to protect her in case something happened. I looked at my mom as she is still unconscious lying in her bed. Staring at her for straight long minutes, I noticed that her finger moved. I was about to call the nurse and the doctor but maybe that was jus thing I see because of my want for her to wake up. But no. I saw her fingers moving. So even before anything, I quickly got up the chair I was sitting but my injury strained. I groaned a little because of the pain from my suddden move. As I stood up, I moved slowly this time and walked towards the door. As

Amira’s POV That same day, I decided to go home to Elocin. Maybe I’ll just visit her for a few hours. I decided not to leave Elexier and his mom here in the hospital. They are both patients here. They can’t look up for each other even if, yes, there are nurses. But it just cant be just the two of them. I gathered all my stuffs and put them inside my bag. I composed my self before saying goodbye to Elexier. I faced Elexier and I saw him directly looking at me. His mom is peacefully sleeping on her bed. She is trying to gain back her energy. “My men will be with you again. I know you’re still not safe to go alone outside.” he said, not taking his eyes off me. “I’m fine with that.” I replied. I know he is just worried. And I can feel his concern for me that way. And in fact, I am also worried. I’m worried for the people around me that the

Elexier’s POV As soon as my mom woke up, the door opened and General Santos entered. With his cap on his arm, he walked towards us and greeted us. “Good afternoon, Mr. Villamorannas,” He nodded to me and I nodded back at him “Mrs. Villamorannas,” Then he nodded to my mom. My mom smiled at him as a response. He then turned to me and faced me. “Mr. Villamorannas, I need to talk you for just a few minutes. Should we go out now to have some privacy?” He asked me. I looked at my mom and she just smiled at me. Then I faced General Santos and nodded. A doctor and a nurse entered the room. Maybe General Santos called them here to assist my mom as she shouldn’t be left alone. I am already in a casual attire. The doctor said that I just need to take few more medications and that’s all. We walked towards the exit, opened the door and got out there. “I

Elexier’s POV My mother fell asleep right after our conversation. She got so tired of crying that when she calmed herself down, she already dozed of. I have talked to her doctor earlier today, he told me that we just have to wait a few more days and take few more medication for her to finally get out the hospital. I am here, sitting in the couch, watching her peacefully asleep. I sighed by remembering what she told me earlier. But I also know that we are the reason why he’s hurting. We are hurting him too! We are not just the one who’s in pain, he is too! He is still your father who used to play with all of you and carry you around. He is still the man I loved. The only thing that has changed on him is his perspective in life. Before, he is contented by what we have. But his ambitions grew and grew that even in the illegal ways he wants to achieve it.

Amira’s POV I got back here in the hospital at exactly 7 p.m. I slowly opened the door of room 67and saw Elexier helping his mom to eat. Her mom is on her bed and is trying to get the spoonful of porridge to her mouth on her own, but when it gets messy, Elexier helps her. He also takes cafe of the food that falls from the spoon I can’t help but to smile at that. I really thought at first, when we first met, that Elexier is nothing bt a cols, serious, bad mafia boss. But looking at him now, I see the soft side of him, or maybe the real him. “Good evening,” I greeted as soon as I walked towards them showing my self entirely. “Good evening,” His mom greeted me back. Elexier smiled at me and they got back on what they are doing. After a few minutes, her mom already finished the bowl of porridge. Elexier then turned to the both of us after putting away the dishes.

Elexier’s POV “Mom, that’s enough, let’s pack things now.” I said as I try to stop her from spitting words. Getting so embarrassed at what she’s saying. I just don’t show it but the insides of me is screaming out of embarrassment.“No, I’m still talking to Amira.” mom said chuckling. I sighed, shook my head and looked down. Just look at my mom bringing some embarrassing things in front of Amira. I suddenly just want to be gone here. I looked straight at Amira who is also chuckling with my mom. The bright lights here in the kitchen highlighted her beauty. Her hazel brown eyes is reflecting the light, her straight get black hair, her pale skin that in just one touch you’ll see that it’ll turn red. I shook my head at that. She is beautiful. Really beautiful. “And I am really wondering how you two met? How did my son caught your heart?” mom asked, lo

Amira’s POV We are now at the lobby of the hotel, eating our breakfast. There are so many tourist and visitors here. We casually ate together there. For some reasons,I don’t feel any awkwardness between us even after I became dramatic all of a sudden last night. I feel so comfortable today. I truly do. And I still have in mind what he said to me that night. “Well you have me now,” “Who said I want to get out of your life? I just entered, and when I enter something, I won’t want to turn back,” “Should I help you clean the mess of you ‘messy life’? Now you don’t only have your best friend to help you, you have me.” “Of course I will. And we won’t stop until it’s all beautiful again.I’ll help you cl
