The volunteer who had been sent to Travis's hometown to gather information about his family had just arrived. She let out an exhausted breath before speaking. "When I arrived at your home, someone told me that no one has been living in your house!" The lady had said as Travis cleared his throat before enunciating. "What about Jessica?" Travis asked his voice almost barely a whisper. "They said that she had left the country to go abroad and according to the woman I asked. She had been working there and nobody knows where she works there," The woman said softly with a small sigh escaping her lips."But Jessica would never leave our kids behind!" Travis said with confidence. "Well, according to the woman I talked to! Your wife left the kids in the care of one Emerald but things took a wrong turn when she met with an accident and passed away!" The lady told Travis whose eyes clustered with tears before he ran his hands into his hair in frustration and shock. "What about Clara? Did you
Travis had one hope left now. He felt that going to his hometown to find his stepmother and have a talk with her was the only way to have an idea of where his kids were. "This is the last place that I went to yesterday, this is the exact place I found your stepmother's house." The volunteer whose name was Esther told Travis. "Uhhh__ is she maybe here? I want to speak with her!" Travis asked the lady while twirling everywhere blindly. "I'm only a volunteer, I have never seen your stepmother to know if she is here but we can ask around!" Esther suggested while holding his arm. "I just noticed some men, they seemed to be around the area. Why don't we ask them about her?" Esther said smartly as Travis nodded in agreement. Esther held the arms of Travis to lead him in the direction she was referring to. "Hello, can I please ask you something?" Esther said. "Yes, go ahead!" The men who looked like gamblers replied with their various tattooed bodies."Have you please seen Samuel around
AFTER SEVEN YEARS Outside the very expensive bar meant for the richest people in the city of Netherlands sat a very beautiful young girl of nineteen. She sighed deeply before running a hand through her dark short hair in a frustrated way, "I wonder where my sisters are right now or how they are doing?" She uttered letting all the breath she had been holding out freely. A tear soon slipped out of her eyes before they rolled down her cheeks freely. "Hey Rose, Common girl! I didn't have any idea that you had been sticking here. I wouldn't have been trying to get you on your phone, It's almost seven and you know very well that our first show starts before eight o'clock. We better get going to change or Madam Rhoda would get upset with us if we don't get changed soon!" Nora told her friend who let off a little sniff before wiping her cheeks dry. Rose took her bag before bringing out a few copies of papers that had the picture of her sister when she was younger. "Your sisters have been
"Hey madame, you can buy your bracelet for your kids for three dollars. I know that they would love it!" The young adorable girl of seven said running towards an old lady by the street side. "You want me to pay three dollars for this? It doesn't even look presentable or good enough to be bought, I won't even pay a dollar for this!" The lady harshly said."Who allowed such a young girl like you to market such?" The lady scoffed under her breath before leaving. "Hey mister, please buy one of these bracelets and I know that your kids would love it!" The young girl told the tall man with a low cut to buy from her but he shoved her away. "I don't know why kids now act this way, just quit blocking our way and step aside!" The man yelled angrily. "Mitch, Mitch. Your aunt Chantel has been looking for you and she's been having a wild fit!" The haggard-looking but adorable little boy at the age of eight to nine said running towards her. "Oh no, is she back home already?" Mitch asked, a lit
The professor was present in class as the student in medical school seemed dressed in all white outfits while they had their classes. "Okay class, kindly open your book to page 145. It's just the continuation of the discussion we had last time regarding how to assess the patience at the emergency room___," the professor uttered but the trudging in of footsteps got his attention. "It's a good thing that you have decided to attend my class miss Franco. I mean, you are too early for tomorrow's class!" The professor joked, making all the students burst into numerous laughter. Rose ignored all their laughter as she moved toward the vacant seat. "Wait, hold on there. Are you going to sit down? Well miss Franco, perhaps you may do the honor of answering this." The professor said as Rose gave a simple nod. "A patient arrived at the emergency department complaining of midsternal chest pain, what would you do?" The professor asked."The Priority nursing action of the arrival of the patient
Raya stood in the garden area staring at the plant longer than she had expected. She was so glad they were back home and just maybe her sisters could reunite once again with her, her hands gently caressed the flower unhurriedly."Raya, tell me how it was like living in another state?" Lisa asked startling Raya a little bit. "Uhmmm, to be honest,___ everything went so well!" Raya answered simply and politely."Did you have fun? Did you have many friends over there?" Lisa asked."Well, I had friends but not a lot," Raya told her before sniffing the flower she had plugged out. "Uhmmm__ don't you ever miss being with your real parent?" Lisa asked as Raya gave her a half smile. "Sorry about that, I thought that you already knew that Aunt Claudia wasn't your real mother. I honestly didn't mean to offend you, me and my big mouth should learn how to shut it!" Lisa said glaring at the floor with a decoy grimace. "Common, it's okay because I wasn't that offended. It's just that I have long
"Rose, Raya?" Jessica called outside the dark brown gate of their home but no one had replied. "Sasha, Emerald! I'm home. Emerald, it's me Jessica. Is anybody home?" Jessica yelled out but got no response. Her hands gently slipped into the inside hook before pulling the gate open."Hello here?" She screamed at the top of her voice yet again."Jessica, I don't think anybody lives here. It honestly looks deserted. Are you sure anybody lives here?" Diana said scanning every where keenly. "But this is where we all lived in Diana, who is home? Emerald," Jessica uttered. "Jessica, is that you?" A lady dressed in a flowery gown said approaching them. "It's you Rita, do you have any idea on where my kids are?" Jessica asked glaring keenly at the lady. "Nobody has been living in this house for a long time, no one has lived here ever since it got abandoned. I'm the only one who looks after the house and water the plant in here, you've been gone for a long time Jessica. Where have you been?
"Never a night or day has gone by without me thinking about my kids, they are always in my thoughts. I have always imagined a hundred times of what they are going to look like now, I also wondered about their reaction when we meet again! Not even once have I given up on them because they are the reason why I should keep on hoping and holding on!" Jessica said, sitting on the couch in Rita's apartment. "Uhm___, I honestly thought that as I get home today. I would become very happy and never had I realized that I would be besieged by so many problems, the painful fact is that I'm not even sure if I would be able to see them again!" Jessica uttered bursting out into another random tear. "But why have you been gone for so long, Jessica? Your children had been anxiously and patiently waiting for you but you never came back. Where did you really go and why did it take you this long to finally return?" Rita asked, as Jessica went into Trance. ""(Madam, when exactly are you going to let me
