CHAPTER NINETEEN- HOT SEAT
Joanabe (Joenabell) POV
I smirk happily that Leonel starts eating the cereal with me. He never notices my glances on him because he seems to be enjoying his time eating the cereal. He is the type of person who acts as he hates it but deep inside of him, he likes it.
The sound of the crunchiness of cereal in our mouth becomes perceptible in this rectangular table.
The cereal has one scoop left so I offer it to him, "Leonel you can have rest of the cereal because I'm good."
"No, you can have it you were hungry." He insists.
"No, you can have the last scoop you were drooling on it." I tease.
He blushes, "No, it is yours. I won't take it." Leonel puts his spoon on the table not wanting to eat the last scoop of the cereal.
"I invited you to eat with me so be my guest," I stand my ground.
He sighs heavily, "I can't ea

Joanabe, your child CHAPTER TWENTY- SUDDEN
JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV*WHAT DID I JUST SAY TO HIM?!*I can mentally facepalm my face. He will be suspicious of me. I can't let him think like that of me. Come on, think of a reason or something, Joanabe."What did you say?" Leonel looks confused and I was starting to panic, but thankfully he did not hear me enough even though our distance to each other is so close."The painting reminds me of someone my mom and dad hold dear." My eyes start to avoid his eyes from staring at me."Joenabell, look at me in my eyes." Leonel removes his hand in my wrist and touches my cheeks to force my face to look at him straight."Leonel, what the matter?" I ask, and he squeezes my cheeks that pouted my lips at him."You, you engross me of you," he remains to squeeze my cheeks that it pains my face."Leh meh goh," I cannot speak
Joanabe, your child CHAPTER TWENTY ONE- TEN YEARS LATER
JOANABE (JOENABELL) POVI close my eyes and exhale feeling the silence in my surrounding while standing in front of this wall painting. "Joenabell," A man calls for my name softly like he is familiar to me.I slowly open my eyes to see that I am not dreaming."Joenabell," He calls again, and I look at who's beside me.My eyes land on the broad shoulder of the man beside me and I wonder who he is, "How did you get here? Who are you?" "You are still feeling attached to the painting in front of you? How many years have passed since the day I promised to see you again?" His deep and husky voice is so attractive that will make any woman beg for more to hear his voice.His face turns to the side to see mine, and his sterling grey eyes had me gasp in my position."Leonel?" He grins at me."I am hurt when you asked me who I am, but I am glad you still recognize me." We face each other, and I scan on his face. He is a grown-up man now. When we were kids, he used to tease me a lot with his cha
Joanabe, your child CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO- YOU ARE NOT YOU
JOANABE (JOENABELL) POVThe dining area becomes silent because Kane suddenly appears to disturb us."Hi-hi dad, what brings you here?" I shutter in awkwardness in the atmosphere around us."What brings him here?" Kane's eyes look at Leonel who got choke of the cereal I feed on him.I hand the glass with water to Leonel, and he gladly accepts it with a smile on his face. He clears his throat, "Hello, Mr. Boucher I came here to visit, Joenabell. I asked permission to Mrs. Boucher."Kane raised his right brow to Leonel, but Leonel shows no fear in his eyes to Kane which is pretty impressive."How you got my wife's approval of visiting my girl?" Kane said and seats in the empty chair. *IS HE ACTING A PROTECTIVE FATHER? HAH! FUNNY KANE.*"It is not how, Mr. Boucher. As far as I know, Mrs. Boucher knows that I am her friend so it is fine to visit her." Leonel says calmly. *WOAH! WORK IT, LEONEL!*I am siding with Leonel than Kane. Leonel knows how to answer well to Kane's questions. I am

I failed him I failed to wipe his tears with the green mint handkerchief.His tears never stop falling. He uses my lap to lean on. "Dad, will you let Mom wipe your tears?" I stoke his head in my lap.Kane shakes his head in response."Why not, dad?" I bite my lower lip this is making me feel so bad. He can just let Cheryl wipe it."Because I want it to be Joanabe, why did she have to die?" He sobs harder."When we went to her wake, she soundlessly slept her usual tomato cheeks when she laughed at me turned into white lifeless skin," He grips in my short like a lifeline."She makes me like to listen to music because your grandmother wants me to become a musician in my younger years, but I did not follow her steps because I want to be a painter."I did not say a word. I let him say all he wants to say because to me seeing the p

She quickly puts it on the table where Cheryl and Kane sit."Thank you, I was raised like this even though the person is not around in the table I...I..." Karene holds her hand tightly."It is fine, I trust you, Joenabell.

I look at my door to see who's coming in, and Karene walks inside seeing me standing near the window.Our eyes meet each other, and she smiles at me. "Good morning, Joenabell.""Good morning, Karene," I greet Karene with a warm smile on my face."How's sleep?" Karene asks while arranging my messy bed."It's better, how about you?" I walk to my bed to give her a hand."We are going to ask your parents today. Are you ready?" My head tilts to the right in a confused look of my face.
