HER MEDAL
It's weekend finally, Fredo sat beside his wife in the bedroom. He had wondered how soft Liana's heart is that she doesn't bear much pains.He glanced at her and looked off again, the woman is already asleep. Damn better, than staying awake asking all sort of questions that's bothering her already.But he understands, it's not really easy for the woman. She has been away from work few days now because of her health since Imelda was sent out of the family.She hasn't been herself all this days, watching the one she had called her daughter been disowned in her presence is kind of heartbreaking to her.But she had to give in since the medical result proved that she doesn't belong to the family.Fredo made her lie comfortably on the bed, he got on his feet and left to the bathroom to take a shower and leave downstairs.He isn't going anywhere for the day, he had promised to stay at home with Liana throughout the weSHE IS MARICARFredo didn't take a glance backwards, he left the building without letting anyone know of his whereabout.Maricar didn't bother asking him any questions, she only watched him leave the house.She took the rope and stared at every corner of it wondering what it's all about, she couldn't find the medal again, but was then convinced that her boss left it."Maricar… Ma.. ri.. car…" she pronounced the name repeatedly again.She felt haunted at the moment, the name kept resounding in her ears"Who has that name? Hope this medal hasn't made my situation complicated?..."She sniffed dartinf her eyes round the room just to make sure no one was staring at her."I am Cassandra… not Maricar, I just wish nothing is binding me with the name he mentioned. He can take the medal to avoid further misfortunes on my way… but…"She got seated again twisting her lips, her eyebrows knitted."How e
REVEALING THE TRUTH"Congrats Mr Vilfredo, finally you found your lost daughter after so many years. Isn't that something to be happy about?" The doctor congratulated.He nodded. "I'm the most happiest, like… " he enveloped his face. "Don't even know that I've been leaving with my own daughter.""Hope you haven't been treating her bad all this while?" The doctor queried.Fredo shook his head. "How can I? You know, I worked out her education and she has already started with Benard. And one thing that baffles me is that, she is studying the same course I expected either Imelda or Benard to study…""Maricar is a gift to me, I can't really wait to welcome her. The world must surely know that she's back to her family." He remarked stretching his lips into a wide smile.The doctor nodded, he can tell how Fredo is filled with happiness. From the day Maricar got lost, he has been acting strange.It seemed like something that me
INFORMING HER FOSTER MOTHER.Maricar sat in her room shedding tears, her heart has been flipping on every little sound and she couldn't get her heart at place.She got on her feet after so many minutes and began pacing round the room, her cheeks soaked up with tears.She had a look on her neck and began sobbing heavier this time. Everything the lady who had brought her uttered about the medal reflected in her mind.Her palms folded against her chest. She remorsed on leaving the medal so careless on her neck that her boss caught it.The lady had told her that the medal is damn costly, and she would be questioned heavily if seen on her neck.She sniffed forcefully getting her ass on the bed, Imelda's reactions towards the medal hit her mind again."Isn't it better for Imelda to have the medal other than getting myself into a mess that I can't get out from?" She murmured wiping her face.She reminiscenced on all th
AT THE WELCOME CEREMONY.Before two days elapsed, Maricar's foster mother arrived at Georgetown as wanted by Fredo. She was taken to the family.She got seated on the chair outside when Fredo arrived from work and took her in with him. Maricar was the happiest to see her mother after so many months."Welcome ma'am…" Fredo greeted.She responded to the greeting instantly while glancing round the room."I know it's high you've been here, but have you seen Maricar?" Fredo questioned.She nodded. "I've been with her since I came.""That's nice. I called out for you because I want you to be present in our welcome ceremony which will take place tomorrow… and Maricar is the Heiress." Fredo announced.She twisted her face. "Uhmmm! Who's Maricar?"Fredo smiled clutching his palms together. "Cassandra is Maricar. How did you get that child? For how long have you been taking care of her?"Carlotta shook her head slightly feeling amused. That question is kind of funny to her hearing."Why asking
UNDER HIS CAPTIVITY.For over five days now, Liana hasn't been found. Fredo has tried his best in searching around the town… yet he wasn't able to find her.Her disappearance was reported so the police custody and they took up the case. They began searching immediately but still haven't given a reasonable feedback about the work.Her disappearance was just like a dream to the family, because every other body was found in the hall even though they were wounded… yet, hers was nowhere to be found.Maricar has already cried out her eyes after her Foster mother had left-back, she wasn't being herself any longer.It wasn't how she wanted it. Definitely, she had longed to be with her real family all these years and here she is losing her mother whom she has been living with in the same roof.Fredo had hired a bounty Hunter who would go in search of Liana since none of the forces could do that, the newscasters had announced to everyone about the promise from the Zoren's family to pay in ran
ESCAPING… Liana watched the door as it was broken and a lady dashed in. The both stared at each other for a long time not saying a single word to each other.She was feeling uncomfortable with the silence, and the presence of the lady haunted her."Hi… " she waved her palm trying to see her reaction, but she took short steps closer to her while she began stepping backwards.The lady approached her when she reached the wall pressing her back against it."Stop scaring me please, just let me know what you are here for." She uttered shivering. Her eyes affixed on the lady. "Huh! I'm not a prey please, you can go into the bush and look for one please.""But you called me out for help. Isn't it?" The lady said a word at last.She nodded in fear, goose pimples kept falling on her skin repeatedly. "Yeah! I did, but you aren't behaving like a helper.""And you don't expect me to behave like one." She got seated on the chair closer to the wall but a bit far from her."Now tell me what brought
THEIR ARRIVALS.While she was on her heels, she took a glance backwards bit couldn't get anyone with her. She paused to take a deep breath."Arrrrrgggghhhh!" She screamed inwardly enclosing her lips with her left palm.The thorn had left yet the pains were still much for her. She took a look on her foot and could view that the wound is bleeding.She managed to move to tree root and got seated on it, her hand slashed some leaves and she cleaned the blood.The sound of the leaves and grasses made her throw the one she had away."He must be here. No! I have to leave." This sentence almost popped out of her throat, but she swallowed shifting it to be a thought.She got on her feet still staring at around while the grasses still made noises.Her foot felt heavy to be lifted, she heaved a big sigh and leaned on the tree. Her eyes shut as she tried enduring the pain she felt."Where's she? Liana…" she overheard the voice some miles away from her.She let her eyes open instantly glancing arou
GIVING HER AN OFFICE.Fredo sat beside Liana in the hospital watching her as she was infused. His eyes couldn't get off her.He gripped her palm and placed a kiss on it, and then sniffed holding the tears trying to run down his cheek."I'm so sorry Liana, I'm so sorry for not being watchful over you in the hall. Liana I'm so sorry for being careless on your whereabout when you left the gathering…He paused and sniffed again. He lifted his face and then focused his gaze on her."Emeliana, please talk to me. Come back to me, I've missed you so much." He kissed her lips. "Since you got missing, I've not been myself. I've been struggling to make sure you are found, and I'm glad you're here with me. But please say a word to me okay."He adjusted on the bed and looked off her, but still his palm clutched with hers."Fredo…" he heard his voice been called out. "Vilfredo…" he heard it again.This time he was so convinced that his name was mentioned, he glanced at Liana but her eyes still shut
