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
JAYSONI'm sure she left the mansion already because that's why Grandpa fell off the stairs," I said fist balled beside me."What? Why? Sir Phil adored her so much that during my visit, there she was the only person he kept talking about. Jane asked, surprised. I am surprised, too, because I saw how close she is to Grandpa. "Maybe she just wants Grandpa to trust her so that she can do whatever reason why she took Grandpa to her home when Grandpa was lost. Maybe she has a hidden reason why she did it from the very beginning. Maybe she lied about not knowing Grandpa the first time she met him." Loren said, who just woke up? I ponder her words, and she has a point. I quickly fist my phone from my pocket to cheek Grandpa's money in the bank. I check his bank statement, and my eyes widen to see a series of withdrawals he made. "Look at this." I showed my phone to Jane, and she was surprised as well."Why does he have a lot of withdrawals? Where did he use all the money?" She asked."I do
JaysonMy smile never left my lips. I left the room because a doctor came to check on Loren and took a specimen from her for a DNA test. Uncle already gives him, and he visits Grandpa and goes home to rest. He said he would come back when the DNA result came. I can't blame him if he was cold to Loren. He doesn't even hug her or talk to her except for one time when he warns her and tells her that he wants a DNA test. He was right when he said that Loren doesn't have any similarities to Aunt Aria, maybe because she already grows up. I'm sure once the DNA test result comes positive, his treatment of her will change. I went to the ICU to visit Grandpa. I'm so excited to tell him that I found Ara. Grandpa adores Ara so much back then. He always buys books for her and reads them to her, and Ara will look at the picture in the book with wide eyes despite her still not knowing how to read.She is so sweet, always gives Grandpa a hug and a kiss, and always said I love you, Grandpa." She is v
