KeishaI couldn't sit still on the bed where I had been lying down for a while now after the argument with Colten. It's been over an hour, and he still hasn't followed me into the room. Frowning, I decided to leave and spend some time in the garden instead. As I descended the stairs, I caught sight of my husband engrossed in his laptop. He was wearing a formal top but only boxer shorts below, indicating he might be in a serious virtual meeting or working, which slightly annoyed me as he hadn't followed me. However, before I could dwell on it, my concern took over. What could have happened, and why didn't he come after me?I intentionally passed by him, but it seemed to have no effect. I was starting to get annoyed. Wasn't he going to comfort me? Truth be told, I was the one at fault, but if he wasn't going to pay attention to me, then I'll just sleep here in the living room!Our daughter Luna got into trouble again at school. We didn't know where she got her mischief from. She even pu
KeishaPast two in the morning, I woke with a start. Feeling around the bed, I noticed my husband wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone? I also felt thirsty and hungry, sensing my husband was keeping something from me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease; he hadn't told me anything, but I had a hunch. I let out a deep sigh, hearing my husband's voice at the bar counter. He was probably drinking again, and there must be something bothering him that he wasn't telling me."Julius, update me from time to time. You can't just let everything we've worked for go to waste. If you need to play dirty, do it. That mayor is good at that anyway!" I couldn't help but feel sad at what I heard. I've already told him to avoid meddling in government affairs because they play dirty, and I don't want him or our children to get into trouble. He took a sip from the bottle of alcohol."You're drinking more frequently," I hugged him from the side. I could feel the warmth radiating from his body b
As I gradually emerged from the depths of sleep, I felt a gentle haze enveloping my senses, a lingering residue of the excitement we had shared the night before. It had been an entire month since our last intimate encounter, and as I lay there in bed, basking in the soft glow of dawn, memories of our passionate moments flooded my mind, filling me with both joy and a tinge of longing.Yet, intertwined with those memories was a subtle discomfort, a reminder of the fervor with which we had expressed our love. It was a physical sensation, a testament to the intensity of our lovemaking, leaving a delicate imprint on my body. As I attempted to shift my weight and rise from the bed, I found myself still cocooned in a veil of sleepiness, my limbs heavy with fatigue. But then, as if in response to my unspoken need, I felt the familiar warmth of my husband's embrace encircling me, drawing me back into his comforting presence.In that moment, his hug became a sanctuary, a source of solace that e
KeishaAt the tender age of eighteen, Mama's life took a tumultuous turn when she found herself facing the daunting reality of pregnancy. It wasn't the joyous anticipation of motherhood that most young women experience; instead, it was the result of a horrifying assault by someone she trusted. Mama's dark past, marked by trauma and adversity, became the crucible in which her strength was forged.Despite the immense challenges she faced, Mama exhibited a resilience beyond her years. She made the difficult decision to put her education on hold to ensure the safety of her pregnancy, demonstrating a maturity and selflessness that belied her youth. It was during this trying time that Mama's indomitable spirit shone brightest, refusing to succumb to despair or defeat.I look back in awe at Mama's unwavering courage and determination. At eighteen, she navigated a journey fraught with pain and uncertainty, yet she never wavered in her resolve. She carried me, her precious child, with an unfal
Kevin, Keifer, and Kairon were startled when an unexpected visitor arrived at their doorstep. They never expected that their sister Keisha's spouse and children would come. The disbelief and surprise were evident on their faces, expressed through widened eyes and sideways glances, showing their astonishment at the turn of events.They truly admired the person their sibling chose as a life partner. They could see the dedication and care this individual showed towards Keisha. Every action revealed responsible caregiving and love bestowed upon her. Whenever they saw them together, the depth of affection enveloping their sibling became clear.The responsibility and care shown by Keisha's spouse were undeniable. Every gesture and word reflected their caring and amiable nature. They genuinely admired the person their sibling married, not just for loving Keisha but also for how they displayed affection towards their family."Mano po mga Tito," their nieces and nephews, Noah Arkangel and twin
Keisha "THANK you for coming ma'am and sir, hope to see you again!" I gave a sweet smile to my customer. I often see the couple Felidad here in my coffee shop, they're regulars. Sometimes they even bring their employees. I can say that my shop is doing well financially. I hope it continues to grow. "It's okay, Karyll." I left the counter and went to my office to rest. I've been running this business for over three years now. I graduated with a degree in BSBA. I hope my business continues to prosper. I also do online selling for extra income. I'm happy with what I do, and this is my passion. Ever since I was a child, I could see myself managing a business. So even though my parents wanted me to become a teacher, I didn't listen. Even though I'm only 24 years old, I chose to stay at home instead of renting. I'm happy when I'm with my family. I'm the youngest sibling with two older brothers. They never allowed me to move out, fearing I might be led astray. Sometimes they're overly pro
KEISHAI furrowed my brow due to Mama's false accusation. How could I get pregnant? "Mom, how can Keisha get pregnant when she hasn't even kissed anyone!" I glanced at my brother Keifer when he said that, always the teasing type. "It's because you, Keifer, always timing! I saw you and Kevin in my room watching something rated R!" Both of their eyes widened at what I said. They're only scared of Mama. "Both of you, I'm just saying if you get someone pregnant, you better take responsibility! Oh, Kevin and Keifer, you better change. I just realized what you said wasn't about Keisha getting pregnant because she knows nothing and is too innocent about these things!" I grabbed the food with a huff at what Mama said, they're always teasing! "Do you really need to know about that, and I'm still young and those things aren't even on my mind!" "Well, you should know about it somehow and be aware of our world! Don't tell me, Keisha, that you have no intention of getting married and becoming
KEISHA "CONGRATULATIONS Ma'am!" I smiled as I watched my employees. As soon as I entered, confetti greeted me, and they had a three-layer cake ready. "Oh, you didn't have to go through the trouble!" I exclaimed joyfully as I watched them. Every time our shop's sales and rates went up, we celebrated like this. They were all smiling at me, and the joy reflected in their eyes. We joyfully shared the prepared food. Some customers even attempted to enter the shop even though we were closed. But as we had said, we were closed, not accepting any customers. It was time for us to spend plenty of time together and have some fun. "Let's go to the bar, Keisha!" I said to them. They called me Keisha, as we were around the same age, but some still addressed me as Ma'am, especially Manang Kara. "Sure, you guys take care of it, as long as we have fun and relax there." "Alright!" "Hey, Jason, take care of Ma'am Keisha, alright?" "Yes, Manang Kara!" I had a great day thanks to my employees. They
