We arrived home past five in the afternoon because of traffic, and I was nervous when I stepped out of the car and saw Sir Jayson standing at the front door waiting for us. Why is he home? He said last night that he would be home late. Why is he here now?"Jay Jay, your home." Grandpa grinned and quickly went to him as soon as he stepped out of the car."My meeting was canceled. That's why I'm home early, Grandpa. Why are you back just now? It's almost six.""We caught in traffic," Grandpa replied. " Can I talk to you?""Let's go inside first." Sir Jayson led him into the living room, and I followed them."Jay Jay, can I ask you a favor?" I want to ask you now because I might forget it later.""What is it, Grandpa?" He asked softly. I noticed that when it comes to his grandfather, Sir Jayson is so soft, like a marshmallow, and I could see he cared for his grandfather so much. That's one of the many things that were admirable about him."Mara's neighbor needs a job. His wife takes care
MARAMa'am Loren went beside him, but he pushed her harshly. Throwing her a few feet away, the syringe she was holding dropped on the floor, broken. "Stay away from me!!! He screamed, and at that moment, Grandpa looked scary. Sir Jayson rushed to help her up. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine." We are all surprised, I've known Grandpa for only a month, but I had never seen him so angry, and he looks scary."Grandpa!!! Why did you do that? Loren just wanted to help you?" Sir Jayson screamed. I gasped when Grandpa quickly crawled away and dived under the bed, and hid there. My palm covers my trembling lips. I'm sure he didn't do this for the first time. I think he crawled under the bed whenever that heartless woman beat him.It broke my heart, and a sob left my lips. My tears streamed down my face. Sir Jayson instantly looks so guilty, with regret on his face. His tears also rolled down his face. Nana also cries while standing behind us."Don't give him any shot for tonight. You can leave
MARAIt took me an hour to finish grooming Grandpa, and I'm happy he liked it. He bathed while I prepared his clothes to change and just lay it on his bed. I went to my room—and bath as well, and changed. Grandpa had already finished dressing up when I returned to him,"Sir Phil, Sir Jayson is already waiting for you downstairs," Nana called outside the door."Okay, Nana, we are coming," Grandpa answered."You're ready?" "Yes, Grandpa, let's go." I lead him out the door, and we use the elevator to go down. Sir Jayson is in the living room with Ma'am Loren, waiting for us."Jay Jay, I thought it was only us? I looked at Ma'am Loren, wondering why I didn't notice this before. She is smiling, but her eyes say other things."Loren asked if she could join us, Grandpa. She's free today, and I said yes because the more, the merrier.""She didn't ask me," Grandpa said, fist balled tightly beside him."Grandpa, can I join..... Ma'am Loren asked, but Grandpa cut her before she could finish what
MARAIt's been two months since I worked at the Fernandez residence. I feel at home here and feel like I found a family in them. Sir Jayson is so kind, and even though how hard I hold myself not to have a feeling for him, I couldn't stop myself. Every day, my feelings for him got deeper, but I could only admire him from afar. I'm not on his level. I am just a servant. I sigh sadly every time I compare our social status. I'm nothing compared to him, and my feelings for him will end in nothing.I slumped on Grandpa's bed while waiting for him to finish his bath. We were just back from his walk after we ate breakfast with Sir Jayson. I thought I was deeply in love with Jared before, but I think I believe it that way because he is my first boyfriend and the only man that I get close to. But after meeting Sir Jayson, I realized I'm not deeply in love with him because he has never crossed my mind since I started working here. All I could think was Sir Jayson, which drove me crazy.His smile
MARAGrandpa, why you suddenly came here? Do you need anything?""Oh, I'm sorry, Jay Jay, but while on our way here, I forgot why I went here.""Mara, do you know why Grandpa wanted to see me?""No, Sir. He didn't tell me why he wanted to see you. He just suddenly dragged me and said that he wanted to see you because he has an important thing to tell you.""Sorry, Jay Jay, if I disturb your work for nothing. I'm sure it's important because I wouldn't be rushing here if it wasn't.""It's okay, Grandpa, just tell me once you remember.""Okay, next time I remember it, I will write it so that even though I forget it, I still have a record of it.""Okay, you do it, Grandpa. You can also write everything you did the whole day so that later on, you can read it.""Okay, I will do that.""Have you eaten lunch?""No, because I wanted to see you. I'm sure it's vital, why did I forget it?"It's okay, Grandpa. I'm sure you'll remember it later. Come on, let's eat lunch together before you go home.
MARAI stood on top of the stairs, with my hands covering my mouth and tears streaming down my face, still shocked at what had happened."What happened? I heard you scream." Sir Jayson rushed beside me. He looks like he just stepped out of the bathroom because his hair is still dripping."Grand....grandpa!!! I cried, pointing down the stairs. He followed where I was pointing with his eyes, and his eyes widened."Grandpa!!! He screamed and ran downstairs. The other helpers come, as well as Nana, all shocked at the scene in front of them."Prepare the car." Sir Jayson screamed, then picked up Grandpa. "Dean, you carry Loren." Sir Jayson said and ran outside. I just stayed in my place, still shocked by what happened. How could she do this to Grandpa? Why does she want to kill him? ***I sat outside the operating room with Nana, Dean, and Sir Jayson. We've been here since two hours ago, but until now, the doctor hasn't come out of the operating room.My tears keep streaming down my face.
JAYSONI watched as Mara ran out of the door crying. For the first time in my life, I lay a hand on a woman, and it didn't settle inside me, especially since it was Mara, the girl who I felt familiar with the first time I laid my eyes on her when she was still working at the diner near my office back then.She looked familiar, but I couldn't recall where I met her before. It seemed like I knew her way back, but no matter how I tried to recall in my memories who she was, I really couldn't remember.Since I laid eyes on her, she never left my mind. I always see her smile and the face I always saw in my dream. She always smiles and is very gentle and kind, especially to Grandpa. She takes care of Grandpa like her own grandfather.She got Grandpa's affection quickly, which didn't happen with his previous caregivers. Grandpa always distanced himself from his caregiver, but with Mara, it looks like he is with his granddaughter. He treated Mara how he treated me. He's so caring and protectiv
MARAI run out of Loren's room crying. No one laid a hand on me before. It was the first time, and it hurt so much because the person who did it was the person I never expected could hurt me. I always saw him as a gentle, kind, and caring person who would never hurt someone else—a person who I started to admire or maybe more. I was thrown on the ground when I bumped into someone snapping me out of my thoughts. I cried more, and I stayed on the floor sobbing."Are you alright, miss?" A male voice asked. I looked up, and a man was crouching, looking at me worriedly."I'm so sorry, sir. I'm not looking where I am going. I whispered, wiping my tears. "It's okay, come on, stand up." He said and held my arm, and pulled me up."Thank you, sir. And I'm sorry again." I bowed my head at him and resumed walking. I went to the ICU where Grandpa was. I want to see him for the last time before I leave, and I'm hoping the doctor will let me see him.When I arrived at the ICU, I asked a nurse where
