Jay Pov..."Hi, Donato!" Dad greeted as he answered the phone."James, how are you?" He answered."It's pretty good after having a mild stroke 5 months ago!" Dad replied."Brother, as we get older, we need to take care of ourselves. Eat plenty of healthy food, proper exercise, and vitamins. Don't focus too much on your businesses, let others do that and get some fun to relax with Helena." Daddy just laughed. I look at him as he is enjoying. His laughter is my happiness.While he was busy chatting I was still staring at the document he gave me. I don't have the courage to open it yet. I'm afraid to see a piece of unexpected heart-wrenching news. The weight would be burdensome. I'm still recovering from the last pain."Yes, brother. I really want to go on vacation on that island again, but I haven't talked to my son yet!" Daddy's response was so loud that I could hear what he had to say.Why does his response seem to mean something? I looked at him, but he was engrossed in talking to hi
Greg San Juan Pov...Finally, I had the chance to visit the Philippines again. A beautiful place to live and retire. I stretched my arms and legs, exhausted with my whole trip. Exhausted but excited and thrilled. Thtas what I feel.Dad has a property in Manila and Bulacan. I choose to stay at BGC while searching for Jay. I just hope he's still living there. I didn't have the chance to come when Auntie Eva died. Maybe this time is the moment we are meant to see each other as a family.Holy Shit! I stumbled getting up as I woke up late in the afternoon. I miss breakfast, exercise, and lunch as if I was deprived of sleep and rest. I hurriedly wash to leave immediately and grab some food along the way."Miss, can I ask a question?" I asked the young lady nearby when I arrived at the place I still remember where they live."Anything handsome, just don't ask for money because I don't have. You can ask for a kiss, but not my purity though." She replied lengthy. I laugh amused by her blabberi
Jenny Pov... Dana and I both have our own lives now. She is busy with many things, so do I, and please add Daniel's family too, that I am bothersome. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. I'm fucking nervous about meeting them. My feelings go haywire. Jenny, you can do this, it's just a piece of cake. You have already lived four years in a life you've never used to, but you survived. I mentally note to myself. When I'm in this state of mind I always miss my friends. Julie is an expert at dealing with this, while Dana is good at consoling someone who is down. Now is the right time that I need my friends. I could feel my brain was under my toes because I kept on rambling nonsense under my breath. Jenny, they were just human beings like you. You can deal with them like a normal human being. Why do you need to complicate things that are not needed? Daniel glanced at me one more time before starting the car. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it a little to give me comfort. I sighed a
Third Person Pov...Dana missed her parents and wanted to go home and hug them. It doesn't help that she was not feeling comfortable and this strange feeling keeps on creeping her. She can't relax as her heart and mind wander somewhere else. She doesn't feel the same person right now. "Oh, please what is this all about?" She cried desperately.She finished all her work early and was eager to go home. She needs to cuddle her daughter, it will help her ease the strange feelings that keep on creeping her."Greg is still on vacation, wondering how he's been and what is his emergency." She murmured leaving her office.On the other hand, Greg revisited the place where Jay grew up and cleaned. The place is breathtakingly beautiful. Checking the surroundings makes him in awe. It's perfect for relaxing, the sight gives you a calm and peaceful mind. Best place to stay for vacation."Thank you, boss." One of the workers heads up before leaving. Greg smiled, staring at the finished product think
Jay Pov...I felt relieved when I talked to him last week, the pain of mommy's death is no longer that painful every time I remember her. I tried to block in my memory as the memories of her living were unbearable and feeling sorry for her. I wanted to be in her place.My heart swells with happiness knowing someone else remembers her. I didn't visit our home in Quezon for a long time as it reminds me of her. I'm sorry mom! I promise to check this Saturday. I'm sure the place looks terrible. I have never given a chance to visit in 10 years. I can still remember mommy struggling to catch her breath while living in that place. It's an awful sight. It suffocates me when I recall all her memories. I sighed, closing my eyes as a tear was tingling my eyes. "I miss you, mom, wish you were here" My desperate cry every time I close my eyes and I remember her.The ride back to our once home was calming. I smiled while listening to the lovely music playing on my stereo bringing back the happy m
Donato Pov...Bring back memories that I will always miss. My second home turned into my vacation home if I just needed it. As they say, face your fears and we can't prevent the inevitable just like today."Hello, Philippines!" I inhaled standing outside the airport.Booking a grab going to my brother's place. He has a house here but seldom comes here. He bought it when we found out Eva was here but never had the chance to see her. Though he didn't see her, he still kept the house.While I was in the cab I called James. I couldn't suppress my excitement. I miss our old lives and what we used to do but changed when he got married. A bit hurt feelings in there but I loved him and I wanted him to be happy and she was his happiness.Calling James..."Hello." James answered the phone."Brother, I'm already here. How are you? When is the best time to visit you?" I ask him eagerly. A lot of things I wanted to talk about including his marriage."Oh! Donato! Good to hear you are already here."
For the last time, I drop by here at Quezon to check Jay's house before going to his condo. I'm delighted to see the flowers bloom as lively as I expected. The bonsai plants are attractive around the mini garden. This place is stunning and perfect to get away from the city. I will come to visit this place again when I come here. I hope I can bring someone with me to make the visit memorable and incomparable.My hands sweat as I stand in front of Jay's condo. A strange feeling is driving me nuts. I feel goosebumps and the air is thick. I shrugged the odd feeling and rang the doorbell. A rope of sadness thugs my heart thinking this is the last day I'll see him."Greg!" He hugs me tightly upon opening the door. I'm shocked, unable to move. I'm trying to comprehend what just happened."I'm sorry cousin. I'm just happy. Come in!" He said smiling as he let go of his tight hug. Still frozen and can't move."Hey! What's wrong with you?" He asks worried tapping my shoulder. Fuck! I cursed sile
Daniel Pov.. I plan to visit the Philippines on Valentine's Day to propose to Jenny again and also want to visit the Palawan branch entrusted to Jay. Jay is already pissed about letting him work alone. I deserved a couple of punches from him, but I won't let that happen. I love my damn face so much. I will surprise him this February since my January trip was canceled. I still have to face Brother Axel's wrath. I sighed. Thinking of my brother. I was startled at the loud bang of my office door. I stood up, falling on my chair to see who was my intruder. "B-Brother Axel, you're already h-" A punch landed on my face before I could finish my words... Fuck!! I cursed, touching my cracked lips. "I told you before Daniel to make sure you don't get them pregnant!" He shouted angrily as another blow landed on my face. What the fuck! "I'm sorry!" I said, hissing at his damn fucking punches. "I'm sorry! Thus, your sorry changes to the fact you have a child littering the city!" He shouted
