Chapter 1

MATTHEW'S POV( KTI Tower)I yawned as I take off my coat inside my office. I'm still drowsy and I feel like I didn't get enough sleep last night. I sat in the swivel chair and leaned there. I closed my eyes and felt the cold coming from the AC.I sat up straight and stretched out my arms afterward and called my secretary. It took few moments before she picked up the phone. Maybe she was still busy cleaning up her area since it's still early."Good morning, Sir. How can I help you?" she answered enthusiastically. She still hasn't faded. She is still the same person I hired a few years ago. "Good morning! Can you please bring me a cup of coffee?" "Sure, sir. Your coffee will be served in less than five minutes." I laughed because I felt like I was in a coffee shop at what she said. She never failed to amaze me with her humor."Five minutes is too long for a cup of coffee, miss. Make it three, if you can't then let me talk to your manager then." I joked. I also heard her laugh in the o...

Chapter 2
Encounter/Azila
ALEIA'S POV (ISLA DEL FUEGO)I got up from bed and fixed it after. I opened the window of my room that's facing the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore greeted me. I closed my eyes to feel the cool breeze. A paradise I've always dreamed of spending my life with. My mother's favorite music, the sound of the ocean. "What a beautiful morning!"I always wake up at this same time every morning to do my routine- grabbed my towel which is hung near my wooden closet and hurried to the bathroom. I was tapping my foot on the floor while singing. One of my fave. Well, I can't just sing the whole song but still I loved that Blank Space. I smiled facing in the mirror while singing that song from Taylor Swift, put my hair in a messy bun, and wore my denim jacket. Then I'm good to go. "Ale!" I paused for a minute. Someone called me and later on I heard knocks on the door." Ale, are you still sleeping?" The knocks become louder. "Coming!"I responded and then walked fast to the

Encounter/Azila
MATTHEWHearing the news from David made me uneasy the whole day. After the last business meeting that I attended, I rushed home immediately to confront my father about it. But when I reached home, I was surprised to see a car parked in our garage that was not ours. My heart began to pound heavily, and my instinct told me that something was going on inside our house. Something fishy.I even thought of running away but not this time, and I think facing this could end my misery, so with my head held high, I went to the living room."Matt?" What the heck! I saw the smiling face of Nathalie coming on my way. "Hi! Good evening." Acting calm and modest as if I do not know her true colors. A certified spoiled brat. "Good evening!" I replied and walked to the kitchen, and there, I saw my father and Nathalie's parents on the dining table. Maybe discussing something. Probably, our engagement."Oh! My son is here already. Come on, son, join us." I sat in the chair beside my father, ready to l

Encounter/Azila
ALEIAIt was seven in the morning when I finished the delivery. I only have one hour left to prepare for school. I increased my speed in driving when suddenly someone crossed the road, so I slowed down again and stopped later. I was about to confront him for his carelessness when I noticed that he was busy dialing his phone. He is a tourist, maybe. "Sir, excuse me! There is no stable connection on this island," I said, trying to get his attention. But I was so shocked when he looked at me. I was speechless for a moment, and my heart was beating so fast. How can I not recognize him? He was the man I had been dreaming of since I was ten. His eye that hid thousands of stories. I can stare in his eyes all day long and get mezmerized by them. I tried to remain in composure. Why is he here? What is he doing here? He is supposed to be busy preparing for his engagement. "I really can't find any signal. I need to contact someone," he said in despair. "Are there no areas where we can find

MATTHEW As I was staring outside, watching the crashing of the waves, I couldn't help but think of my family.

Chapter 7- Mommy is Sick
Encounter/Azila
Aleia( Aged 10)Years had passed, but still, there were no signs of daddy. He broke his promise to us. Mommy said that he was just so busy, maybe he could not visit us anymore. Though, I knew he was supporting us financially. Granny died due to a heart attack two years ago, leaving mommy and me on the island since mommy is her only daughter. Since Granny died, mom was so silent and lonely. She was in deep thought most of the time. During those times, I sat with her to make her feel that she was not alone. I'm with her. Though, she tried to hide it away from me, it still reflected in her eyes. I also noticed that she was weaker than before. She even went to the doctor for checkups, but still, she did not tell me. Until one day, I have read her hospital record. I did not understand what it meant. The terms were profound, but my attention was caught by one word that gave me goosebumps and butterflies in my stomach. It ignited my biggest fear. And that is losing mom. I happened to rea

Chapter 8-Reunited
Encounter/Azila
Aleia(Aged 10)The day that I feared most eventually came. Months later, after I discovered mom was sick, she became worst. She was bedridden already and refused to get any medical help.She would say the medication could not save her. She'd rather spend her remaining days watching her favorite scenery; the sunset. She would like to listen to the crashing of waves now and then near the shore. Seeing her in that heartbreaking situation tore my heart, but what else can I possibly do? I was praying for miracles, but there were none. I cried every night. I may be young, but I'm not dumb. I knew what was happening. Mom is seriously ill.It was late after dinner when Aunt Cristy and I were cleaning up, when the doorbell rang. I looked at her, and we both looked at the door. "Ale, please open it," she said as she went to the kitchen sink to bring the utensils we used. I slowly walked to the door. When I opened it, someone I never expected came into view. I was stuck to where I stood. I f

Chapter 9-First Encounter
Encounter/Azila
ALEIA (Aged 10)The inevitable did happen. A few days after dad came, mom passed away peacefully. She spent the last day of her life reminiscing how much she loved dad. Dad took care of her and brought her to the beach. They spent hours talking and being with each other. Only then did I know that it was mom who asked for a divorce when she was diagnosed with cancer. Dad did not agree at first, but mom was persistent. She wanted him to move on and get away from the pain while she was still alive. At first, I didn't get it. But who am I to question their decision. I was so broken after losing mom. Few days after her funeral, Dad brought me home. To our old home. The home where everything started. It was still the old house that we had. Though, some parts were renovated. But to my dismay, a woman who I thought was younger than mom for a few years welcomed us. Beside her is a little girl, maybe five or six years old.

Chapter 10- First Kiss
Encounter/Azila
Aleia ( Present Time) "Teacher!" A voice from one of my pupils made me go back to the present. Two years ago, I volunteered to teach pre-schoolers because I saw their need to be nurtured. I saw myself in them when I was their age. They crave attention and love. And I love being with them. It gives me the feeling that I was needed and have a purpose in this life of mine. When I looked at them, they looked at me with such worried faces until they came to me one by one. "Teacher Ale, Are you okay?" Vienna said. I tapped her head and nodded. I smiled at them, assuring them that I was okay. Viena is one of my most intelligent and well-mannered pupils. "I'm fine. I just remembered something. Are you done with your seatwork?""Yes, teacher." They answered in chorus and handed their papers to me. "Okay, see you tomorrow then." They left the room one by one. I fixed my things and headed to go. But I was nailed to where I was standing as I was watching Zach near the door. He was leaning o
