My neck almost hurt because of the amount and piles of papers Kim and I arranged. Yes, I asked her to help me because I really couldn't finish it.There were some left over and Kim preferred to take it home to her house and she would finish it there too, which I thanked.It was exactly five o'clock to get home. I caught up with the twins in the living room with the TV on but they were both working on their paper."What's that?" I said as soon as I entered the living room."A Family." Lucia answered."This me and Lucia, this is mommy and daddy." I smiled at what Lucas said. I kissed them on their foreheads and also kissed them on their cheeks."It's beautiful, do you want me to print it bigger and put a frame on it?" I asked the twins. They looked at each other and smiled together."That's great." Lucia commented."Let's put him there, mommy." Lucas pointed over the TV.“Good idea.” I said and ruffled his hair a little.While the twins were busy with what they were doing, Luke entered
I sent too much and rushed. I understand Luke.Luke tightened his grip on my hand and looked at me slightly before smiling.He became calm, calm because he kept us out of harm's way. Seeing Lucas's eyes with fear from the recognized father was painful for me. I brought them into danger. I didn't even notice Lucas' every move and I was just swept away by the current of longing, longing for a father.We reached home quietly. First we took care of the twins who had already fallen asleep and as I picked up Lucia, I couldn't help but shed tears.I'm hurting. I can't explain the pain but I deserve it.It hurts me more because the twins experienced this and I didn't even understand Luke's feelings.When we got the twins out of bed I noticed that Luke had no intention of leaving so I decided to walk out of the room and wait for him outside the door.A few minutes passed before Luke came out, I politely smiled at him and put my hand on his arm before walking towards our room.A deafening silen
"How's your feeling?" I asked.She had just woken up and the weakness of her whole body was visible. Her lips were pale and slightly itchy. “Water.” She said softly so I immediately took water from the jug that was on the table near the side of the bed.I helped her to sit before giving her a drink of water. I put a pillow on her back to support her sitting."Where are the twins?" Luke and I looked at each other at her question."In the living room, they are playing." I answered her. "Sorry for the trouble Elle." I smiled slightly and shook my head."It's not bothering you, it's good that you thought of coming here." I answered calmly."They've gone to school, haven't they?" I nodded to her. "Don't, stop now. Take them Luke.” Now Sashalyn was looking at Luke. "Far away, far away." she said with difficulty and coughed a little.I approached her and stroked her back. "Rest first, when you're strong, just tell us what else you want to say." I told her but she refused."What if later or t
A week later, Trina didn't leave her sister's side and she was the one who took care of it.Sashalyn can still sit and walk but she needs support. She is now sitting in a wheelchair here in the garden."When do you plan to leave?" She asked."Tomorrow, we leave." I said with a smile and held her by her hand. "Salve will find me." She whispered softly."He can't get you from us." I turned to Trina. It carries a plate containing fruit. "Eat this, I hope you will get stronger and better." Sashalyn smiled slightly. “Thank you.”I watched the twins sprawled on the grass holding their toys. The day my worst thing happened, I couldn't do anything but agree with Luke.I wonder, are we parents too baleful to let children learn such things at such a young age?I also think that it is just for them so that they can defend themselves from harm."Your son is different from all children, Elle." Trina's language."I am against that thing but what can I do now that there is a danger to us." I smiled
LUKE'S POINT OF VIEW"It seems that Salve's illness is serious, in his old age he still cannot think of stopping his bad activities and really wants to ruin his brother's life." I looked up at Marie.She just arrived and her unrestrained mouth greeted me."Any news?" I asked her. "He knows that you intend to leave later. I don't know how he found out but I think there is a spy inside your house." I was stunned by what she said.I thought about who I was dealing with when I talked about leaving. Elle, Trina, Sashalyn."I couldn't think of anything that could have been done before." My answer."How about Harold, Sashalyn, Trina? You know they are connected to Salve." I closed my eyes tightly.“How about the Island in Cebu? Does Salve know too?” I asked and she nodded slightly.A few minutes later, my cell phone rang, and when I answered it, it was Angela who was rushing to speak on the other line. "You need to go home now, Elle was hit on the way home." It felt like something was stuck
One day.A day later, I was able to stand and could barely walk. Sashalyn is back in her room, recovering."How are you?" I looked at Trina."It's pretty good." I answered and took a sip of coffee. "How is she?" I'm referring to Sashalyn."She is better and can stand up. How I wish that she doesn't have cancer and that her strength continues." I smiled at what she said. "But it's a pity because one of her eyes can no longer see." I smiled bitterly at what she said next.With the amount of things that have happened, sometimes I think of giving up, but despite that, I realize that I shouldn't give up because I'm not only having more difficulty in the trials we're going through, because what right do I have to just give up if there are people who are going through it more difficult than me? .An example of that is Sashalyn. I still remember the days when I thought badly of her. Not even her exterior but her attitude. I'm taking back the insults and bad thoughts I had about her before.I
THE NEXT DAY I woke up early, Luke was still asleep so I got up and washed up in the bathroom. I also changed my house clothes and went downstairs. I caught up with Nanny Josefa cooking in the kitchen."You should wake up in the morning." The old woman told me."I couldn't sleep anymore so I got up." I still promise.I looked at Nanny Josefa's hand while the key was dangling there. "Luke said you want to open the warehouse so that's the key." I smiled at what Nanny Josefa said. "But before you open the warehouse, eat first so your stomach is full and it won't get in the way of what you're doing." I nodded at what she said again.She took me a plate and a spoon before serving me rice and other dishes. I ate well and when I finished, I went to the twins' room.They were still sleeping soundly, they were covered in blankets because of the coldness of the air conditioner so I turned it down before deciding to leave their room.I caught up with Trina in the living room, rubbing her eyes wh
I wiped the dust and blew the others that were attached to the dear bag that Aunt Elizabeth had sent when Luke and I had just started married life.I haven't heard from her for a few days and even Anna doesn't come home much anymore. I couldn't help but worry that's why I took my phone from the side table and dialed her number.After two rings she answered it but I heard noise on the other line until the call died and I didn't even hear Anna's voice at all.I also texted her where she is but almost half an hour has passed and I haven't received a reply from her."Hi mom." Lucas greeted me, he was holding an iPad and his eyes were focused on me."Hello Baby." I greeted him back and he smiled softly. I sat up slightly and looked at Lucas. "Where's your sister?" I asked him."She's in Nanny Josefa's room." He answered so I nodded. He told me he was going to go to the opposite side of the swimming pool and play on his iPad there. The opposite side of the pool is quiet so I'm sure Lucas pr
