Trestan and Cally were waiting outside the operating room where Timotheus was being operated on. Cally was crying while Trestan was trying to calm her. He was so scared because of his father’s condition but stabilized himself for his sister’s sake. This scenario has been happening before but he’s still nervous.Trestan was stunned for a bit when someone tapped his shoulder so he looked at it. It was Simeon Ferran who was full of bandages. Trestan recognized the man but chose to just ignore him ‘coz he felt a little uncomfortable by Ferran’s presence. Ferran sat down next to Trestan, and just stared at the operating room’s door. Waiting for some good news about Alfarez’s situation.“Daddy will be okay, light?” Cally asked while sobbing.“Yes. He’s strong. He’ll survive. We’ll just have to wait for him to recover, so…” he paused, then wiped her sister’s tears. “... you need to stop crying ‘coz daddy might hear you and he’ll be sad.”Ferran couldn’t help but smile at what he heard from
Ferran hid behind the bushes near the pool where a crime will happen soon. It is such a waste if he will not do anything to save a person who sooner or later, will die. Besides, he already knew, why not change the outcome? He isn’t God who can do everything, but a chance was given to him. A chance that will make a difference from the original plot. He can’t miss this chance. “Stop acting like a kid, Bia.” “Is it true?” Bia asked and a tear fell on her cheek. She’s totally drunk. “You have someone else? How about me, Vinno? What am I to you?” “What if I have someone else? Don’t act like you really love me ‘coz the truth is… you’re not.” “What?” “Ria told me that you agree to marry that b*stard Eric and sooner or later you’ll break up with me.” “What kind of cr*p are you talking about? Is that the reason why you’re seeing someone else? Hm? Vinno?” He looked away, and couldn't look at his girlfriend’s pleading eyes. “That’s bullsh*t!” “I fell out of love, okay?” Vinno said inse
“Yes, we argued but I left her after that to get a drink to sober her up. When I went back, that waiter was lifting her body and I even helped them.” Vinno explained himself.“What about you Ms. Noreen Amato? Her sister, Ria D’Aboville, told us that you are very angry with Ms. Bia D’Aboville which could be the reason for you to murder her.”“What!?” Noreen can’t believe Ria’s statement. She looked at Ria with unbelief in her eyes. “I admit. I’m mad at her and thinking of erasing Bia from this world but---““Noreen…” Vinno looked at her with doubt.“See? She’s the culprit all along! She wanted my sister to die! You should put her to jail.” Ria said with anger. “You! B*tch. How dare you? My sister is your best friend! What a shameless b*tch!?”“Will anyone please hear me out first? I will never do that! And for your information, we settled our issue before I left her sitting in that sun lounger. Maybe… Maybe she tried to commit suicide for some reason. I don’t know.” Noreen was tremblin
“Did you contact your uncle?” Brenda Ferran, Blair’s mother asked.“Yes, mom. He’s on duty so he’ll probably be late for our dinner.”“Let him be. It’s work.” Simon Ferran said while driving their car to Gomez residence. Every two months, they arranged a family dinner with Gomez’s.“Your brother is such a workaholic. When does he plan to get married?” Brenda asked curiously.“When the crow turns white.” Simon smirked and Blair chuckled.“He’ll be alone forever.” Blair said.“And that’s what he chose.” Simon added.Gomez’s family was waiting for them at the front door of their house. “Good evening.” Rhiane Gomez, mother of Alexa, greeted them sweetly.“Where’s Simeon?” Alexander Gomez, the head of the Gomez’s family, asked them.“He’ll be late.” Simon answered.“Oh. What a busy man. Haha. Maybe, we should wait for him before dinner starts. It’s still early. Let’s go inside.” Alexander warmly welcomed them.“I’m sorry for that.”“Nah. It’s not a big deal. Besides, he’s part of your fam
A month later...It’s another school year for the students. One afternoon when classes were over, Trestan was walking in a hallway full of students exiting their classrooms. Trestan is one of those who huddle with students in different directions. He was in a hurry to go to the laboratory which was almost behind the school because his close professor called him to go there. Rarely do people go to that part because that building is quite old and it’s a bit creepy but Trestan is not afraid to go because he is often there after class. He looked around and checked if someone was tailing him. ‘Safe.’He entered the building and the door made a noise which seemed to be similar to those in horror movies. There is an underground passageway where the secret laboratory is located. Before entering the main laboratory, he needed his fingerprint to open the door made of steel. When he got inside, he saw the professor busy with what he was doing in an area surrounded by a glass wall. The walls
Next day came and Trestan woke up early to cook breakfast. He found his father sleeping on their couch. It looks like he just arrived a while ago and did not reach the room to sleep there. Trestan returned to the second floor to get a blanket in his father’s room then put it on his father who sleeps soundly and snores a little.He remembers how their last conversation ended. He sighed and felt guilty while looking at his dad, exhausted from work.He brewed coffee in the coffee maker, turned on the radio, listened to music, and daily news in San Lorenzo. He made a cheese sandwich and cooked fried rice.“Good molning Kuya.” Cally greeted her brother before she sat on the dining chair, waiting for breakfast to be served.“Good morning.”They ate and prepared themselves to go to school. “Dad, we’re leaving. Your breakfast is on the dining table.”“Hmm... Take care.”“Bye, daddy!” Cally hugged her father before they left.Trestan accompanied his little sister to her classroom before he pr
‘She’s not familiar to me. A new professor? Or maybe, I just don’t really care about those people around me so I don’t notice her? Probably. ’She seemed to be burdened by the boxes, and Trestan couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, Is it heavy for you? You can give me the other box so you don’t have too much trouble lifting that.”“It looks like you’ve changed. You talk a lot.” The female professor mumbled.“What?”“Nothing. Don’t worry. I can manage.” She smiled sweetly.“Hey, Professor De Vega! Let me help you.” Aquiro suddenly appears and gets the box from the lady professor. “Aquiro, I thought you had a class?”“I just finished our basketball practice, Miss. Don’t worry, I can easily make an excuse.” She grinned and moved his eyebrows up and down.“Tsk. You’re just avoiding Ms.Valdez’s lecture today, don’t you?” Aquiro laughed at the lady professor.“Why should I, Prof.? I’m her favorite student.” He boasted, making the professor laugh. “Oh Trestan? You cut?” He asked after noticing his
In a dark forest of San Lorenzo which is part of their mountains, no one tried to enter because it was believed that once you enter, you couldn’t get out alive. But that was just a myth, a story from the elders of San Lorenzo. The sound of crickets, crows, and the rustling of various species found in the forest is often heard.In the middle of the night in the dark forest, the dry leaves and branches create noise due to the feet stepping on it. “Boss.”“Are you stupid?” The man called ‘Boss’ said angrily. “So simple but you didn’t do it well and you even left evidence.”“I didn’t know there was a guard inside. But I’m confused. Why is that Ferran guarding the b*tch?”“That Ferran messed up with the wrong person.” The Boss said who seems to have a dark plan. “Go ahead and leave.”When the man turned his back, the Boss took out the hidden pistol under his coat then pointed it to the man he was talking to earlier. He pulled the trigger and the sound of the gun became a noise in the mid
