"HELLO," that's how she heard Callie greet the man who was for a fact a stranger to her.
Lara turned to Joaquin and then she seemed to be missing herself when she carried her daughter. "If you want to have breakfast, just follow me to the kitchen," she replied instead of what Joaquin had said earlier.
Lara didn't know why she suddenly felt that way. Because in fact, last night she told herself that it was okay for the two to meet, especially since the man didn't know that he got her pregnant.
But now, he seems to want to regret the simple coffee offer she made to Joaquin last night. It was as if she just wanted to tell herself that she should have just thanked him for saving her. After that, she would have just left the man.
Maybe this never happened again.
Maybe she doesn’t feel scared now as if she can’t explain where it came from.
"Good morning, Grandpa!" Callie's cheerful greeting to her father, as before.
She immediat
"Are you serious?" That was Cynthia's unbelievable question to her after she told her everything that happened to her last night. That also includes this morning. “Can't you believe it too? Well, I won't be surprised there because that's how I feel until now,” she said, glancing at her friend for a moment and then looking back at the computer monitor on her desk. "It's like you have a special bond," Cynthia commented. She immediately turned to her best friend. “What do you mean special bond?” her confused question. Cynthia shrugged her shoulders and then turned the swivel chair she was sitting on. “Well, actually it's not just the two of you. It seems to be your daughter is included as well. I mean, Callie. I think fate has really made way for you guys to meet. And that is for your child,” she explained. Lara thought for a moment about what she heard. Then she sighed then picked up the cup of coffee that was in front of her. “I
JOAQUIN was lying on his bed when he heard a series of knocks on his bedroom door. The young man immediately sighed.He knew his father was outside his room. And he also knew his purpose would be either of the two. About him leaving early and not going to the office for work. Or maybe it's about him getting marriage that his father has been asking him for a long time.A few moments later, Joaquin was forced to get up.“What happened and why didn't you go to the office today? Where have you been?" Joaquin Sr was angry with him the moment he opened the door.Then the young man sighed and then lazily lay down again on his still messy bed."I feel like Papa, I'm stressed out and I won't be productive, so I decided not to go to work and rest here instead," he replied, which is half true in fact.When he said that he saw the aura of his father's face soften. Then he sat down on the chair inside his room."I'm getting bored," a moment
"That's not possible, you know I really love Tanya, don't you?" it was Patrick in a protesting tone.In fact, Joaquin was not surprised by what his friend said. He expected that because even he was against what his father wanted to happen."That's why I'm here because I want to ask you for advice," he explained in response.That same day he decided to go to Patrick's office to talk. Because the truth is, he too has a hard time with everything his father said before.“You need to find a woman you can marry. That's what you do,” he told her.Joaquin stared at Patrick in surprise."Are you serious? It seems like everything is easy for you!” he said disgustedly.His friend laughed softly. “Why? What is difficult there? Actually, Tanya and I are also planning to get married. And that might happen as soon as possible now because of what you told me today. But of course, before that just do what your father says. Try
Lara could not stop blushing because of what Joaquin said.But because she didn't want others to see her reaction, she hurriedly bowed her head and then invited the young man into her office.Inside, Cynthia could no longer hide her excitement when she saw and introduced the newcomer to her friend. And since it was time for her to go home, she didn't make Joaquin wait long.“You know, I wanted to ask you this before. But three or maybe four years ago, where did you work?” the young man when they were already inside his car.Astonished, she turned to Joaquin who at that moment noticed that he was looking at her. As usual, the car's engine is open."Why did you ask?" she wondered."Nothing," Joaquin replied with a shrug.“It's still in that branch. At that time, I was just a saleslady. I was only promoted when I graduated,” she replied.Lara saw the sudden lit of brightness of the handsome face of the man
"EXCUSE me?" that was the question that escaped her lips.Lara heard the heavy sigh that Ramil let out before he stared at her.“That man who delivered you earlier. Who is he?" he asked while Lara immediately noticed the resentment in the tone of the young man's speech.“Ah, that’s Joaquin. New friend and acquaintances,” she replied.At what she said the emotion on the face of the man in front of her immediately changed. "I thought he was your boyfriend," he said, laughing softly.Lara did not comment on what Ramil said. She didn't know what she could say because the more those moments linger, the more tired she felt in her body.“Lara don't I really have a chance on you? Why don’t you try to open your heart on me?” Ramil asked after a while.Lara immediately sighed at what she heard. Ramil knows the answer to that question. Because honestly, that wasn’t the first time the man had asked
"SO, how are you?" that was Joaquin Sr.'s opening question to him that morning.As usual, he caught up with his father in the dining room and ate breakfast. He doesn't think it ever happened in his life that he woke up before his father. Unless the old man feels bad."I'm good," he replied shortly then continued his light meal.“It's good then. Anyway, have you thought about what I told you the other day? Or is it better to say that you have thought of a way to give me what I want?” his father asked.If it happened perhaps to some other time, the young man's mood had been ruined because of that question. But since Lara's face first entered his mind a sweet smile tore from his lips instead."Yeah, and I'm on it actually," he replied glancing at his father afterward while the smile on his lips remained.Joaquin saw the surprise reflect on his father's face after what he said. So he was not shocked when he spoke in a tone that was t
"HELLO, Uncle Joaquin!"Lara immediately smiled when she heard Callie's cheerful greeting to Joaquin who had just arrived."Good morning, beautiful," was the warm response of the young man then lifted and carried Callie."Are you going to have dinner here again tonight?" her daughter asked automatically wrapping her arms around the young man's neck.“I don’t think so. But I will try,” he replied to the girl.Callie nodded as if to say she understood everything. She then kissed the young man on the cheek before Joaquin lowered her.“Let’s go?” Joaquin asked her."Okay," Lara replied. "Bye, Callie," she said as she bowed her head and kissed her daughter’s forehead.Her father also came out of the terrace. That was when she and Joaquin said goodbye to him."Last night when you left, Ramil came," she began the story when they were on the road."Ramil?" ask Joaquin."He'
SHE would have wanted Joaquin to just drop her in front of the mall entrance like what he did yesterday. But he didn’t listen and instead he still took the car to the building’s parking lot."What is the reason and why do you have to bring your car here?" Lara asked.She didn't want to be noticed but the truth was she couldn't deny the nervousness that was slowly living in her chest at those moments."I'll just talk to you," he said, taking off his seatbelt and then staring at her intently.Lara's heartbeat intensified from what happened and she saw that the young man had already acted.She didn’t know what Joaquin was saying that they were going to talk about. But the truth is even though the discomfort she feels is intense she still wants to hear everything he has to say."All right," she nodded.The corner of Joaquin's mouth lifted at what she said. He then moved and removed the seatbelt she was wearing. She forgo
