KATE’s P.O.V.
The next morning, I woke up early just to went to the hospital hoping that Elijah is still there. I wanted to see him for the last time, and bid my final goodbyes as well.
“Good morning, sweetie,” my Mom greeted me as soon as I came downstairs.
“Hey, Mom. Can I ask for your help later? I’ll start packing up my things for my flight the day after tomorrow.”
She frowned, before coming towards my direction to give me a light hug.
“Of course I’ll help you... But... You know, you can always change your mind, Kate.”
“Mom... I chose this... Don’t worry, I know you’ll always visit me in Paris.”
“I will. If only I could be there too... But your Dad needs me here...”
“Mom, you don’t have to feel bad or anything. I’ll be fine there. I just needed some time an
KATE’s P.O.V. I sighed, looking at the wide airport where the largest plane in the county is currently at right now. Mom gripped in my arms tightly, looking at me with her teary eyes.“Mom, please don’t cry. You’re only making it hard for me to leave you two...”“Then I’ll cry a bucket of tears if that’s what will make you stop from leaving us...” I faced her, then reached for her shoulder. I looked straight into her eyes before saying another word.“This is for my own good, Mom. Think about this as my way of finding myself for a moment.”“I know, I know. But I couldn’t help myself. We will miss you so much...” Dad put his arms around Mom shoulder, before smiling at me.“Come on, Katheryn. Let’s not make this too hard for our daughter.&rd
KATE’s P.O.V. Five years had passed. I’m now a twenty nine years old commercial model and a fashion designer. I gained those titles in just five years in time, here, at the city of love. Paris is great. I thought I wouldn’t be able to reached my goals this far for it was almost impossible to compete with those high-quality business that’s always been here a long time ago even before I was born. There are times that I almost give up on my dreams, but thankfully, I didn’t. They say that new beginnings are always tough, and I know that even before I decided to leave the country. I know that everything is not going to be as easy as I thought. I know that my journey will be a bumpy and rough road ahead of me. But that doesn’t stop me from achieving my dreams. Instead, it inspires me to do more, and to become better each da
KATE’s P.O.V. “Why didn’t you accept the offer?” Fiona complained. I sighed, before facing her. We are now at our boarding house, and we just finished eating our dinner. Fiona didn’t stop bugging me about that deal that I refused to accept earlier. “Fiona, you know how much I really wanted to come back right there... But I couldn’t. I don’t know if I’m ready to face him again.” “That doesn’t matter! All that’s important right now is that you’ve promise to him that you’ll come back right after you find yourself... And now, fate is making your way back into his arms. Don’t you think it was pretty ironic? You already have a perfectly reason and chance to see him again.” “But how about Dom? Do you want him to be a broken hearted guy?” I asked her, and she suddenly shut her mouth up. I turned around, picking up the plates on our table just to wash the dishes. “If th
KATE’s P.O.V. A week has passed, and I’m not yet sure if I’m going to accept that deal of my director to went home to the Philippines. Though I also wanted to grab it since Dad is sick and I wanted to be with him. I’m just too afraid to face the hurtful reality again. My life here in Paris became a fairytale that would make me feel hard to believe about everything that happened back in that country.“So, what are we going to have for dinner?” Fiona asked enthusiastically. I’m very thankful that she’s here. She never failed in lighting up anyone’s mood. I’m sure that she’s going to be a good wife someday.“Uhm... Anything? You can chose whatever you want,” I stated, too lazy to think of something that we should eat.“How about brownies? What do you think?” she asked, smiling from ear to ear.&
KATE’s P.O.V. Dad’s death was too sudden, to the point that we didn’t... I didn’t got a chance to bid my final goodbyes to him. Mom and I are still grieving right now, but we chose to be tough just like how we always does.“Mom... I’m sorry...” I suddenly burst out into tears as Mom helped me fix my hair in front of the mirror. I could see how hard she tried to suppressed her tears by looking at her reflection in the mirror.“It’s not your fault, sweetie. It’s not anyone’s. It’s just happened... We didn’t know how much time we left with him...”“I’m sorry if I didn’t come home right away. I should have been here... I should’ve been with you...”“Shhh... I’m sure your Dad is happy now wherever he is... Now that he finally saw you come home. Don’
KATE’s P.O.V. As he slowly walk towards my direction, I felt numb, unable to move my feet. I blinked several times, trying to make sure that everything I’m seeing right now is real.“Kate...” he melancholically smiled at me. “We met again... I’m sorry for your lost...” He put the rose at the top of my Dad’s coffin before returning his gaze upon me. When I still didn’t say a word, he reached for my hand, and I felt his warm touched me once again.“I understand if you’re still not ready to face me... But please... Say something, anything, Kate...” I didn’t say a word. Instead, I pulled his hands towards the little garden of this funeral home before I finally let him go. There, we both stood up like an idiot for it’s his turn to be as silent as me before.“Elij
KATE’s P.O.V. I can’t understand the concept of suffering not until this moment... When we are going to buried Dad as he continue to sleep forever in his peace. I thought the world had already hurt me a lot, but I was wrong. The scars of the past is nothing compared to the pain of this one. Mom and I decided not to cry... Not because we are not sad... But because we are trying to show to those people how strong and tough we are. I know it’s just fine to cry your heart out... But the both of us wanted to have peace, and chose to endure our suffering on our own. Mr. Herrera, Claire, Darren, and their daughter Cloey, joined the last and final moments of my Dad. They are all watching as the priest state his verse, as my Dad’s coffin slowly getting deeper and deeper under the ground by each passing moment. &
KATE’s P.O.V. I woke up having a wide smile plastered upon my face. It felt nice, having someone who could give you that peace of mind. I know Elijah wouldn’t cheated on me. I trust him enough... And even though he didn’t promised, I know he wouldn’t. Even though Elijah and I haven’t talk about anything to do for today, I feel the need to prepare myself before going down to our dining room, where my Mom is currently preparing our breakfast.“Hey, you’re looking good, sweetie. How’s your sleep?” she asked me.“It’s... Great, Mom. I think it is.”“Well that was good to hear. Come then, I prepared something for you.” She took out a plate for me before putting a cup of garlic fried rice onto it. She added some bacons and fried eggs, and I instantly felt the hun
