PICTURE OF YOU 37 ACCIDENT
"Wake up, my lovely wife," Matthew whispered, kissing Abby's forehead. He was already dressed up and ready to leave. "Abby, babe, wake up. I'm leaving." He pecked her pouting lips and tenderly caressed her face. Abby opened her eyes, and he smiled and pecked her lips. "Good morning." He helped her to sit, and he sat beside her. "Morning! Babe." She smiled and wrapped her arm around his neck, leaning her head on his shoulder. He kissed the crown of her head and flattened her messy hair. "I'm leaving." He whispered. She pulled away from the hug, and he brushed the loose hair away from her face. "You want me to buy you something? Food, clothes, or things we need for baby Ara?""We already have everything. Just come back home as soon as possible.""Okay, eat your breakfast later. Don't skip meals.""Okay, Daddy." She teased. He smiled and gathered her in his arms again. "Be careful when you walk around, and don't tire yourself so much." Abby smiled and nodded her head. "Wait for me la
PICTURE OF YOU 38 MATTHEW IS DEAD
ABBYI heard whispered and hush voices around me, but my body felt heavy and numb. Even my eyelids, I can't open them. It felt like a ton of weight was weighing them down. I tried to move my fingers, but even that was futile. I attempted to make a sound, but nothing came out.I gave up and used my sense of hearing to know what was happening around me. A loud cry echoed around, and I cringed, then I gasped. A baby? My baby. I tried my hardest to move and open my eyes when another painful cry sounded, and I heard someone come in and try to hush the baby."Hush baby. Mommy will wake up soon." Auntie?? I forced my finger to move, and I heard the beeping sound pick up, maybe my heart monitor. "Patrick called the nurse Abby's heart monitor_ I heard feet scamper away, Auntie Celeste sob, and the baby cry echoed around me again. I tried to move my finger again, and I made a little movement. I heard feet nearing, and after a few seconds, my one eye was forced open, and a blinding light flashed
PICTURE OF YOU 39 RETURNING TO THE CITY
ABBY"Can I hold her, Aunty? Aunty Celeste hesitated while trying to calm the bawling Arabella in her arms. "Let me hold her, Aunty. I'm fine now." I whispered, wiping my tears away and leaning my back on the headboard of my bed to support my body. Aunty Celeste hesitantly placed the bawling Arabella in my arms and put a pillow on my back. She cried hard, flailing her arms and legs as if someone was hurting her. I smiled and tenderly wiped her tears, and she quickly stopped crying. "I'll just make her some formula. Maybe she was hungry." Aunty said and went to the corner and pulled a milk bottle flask and a milk powder. "Hello, Arabella. I am your mommy. " I smile and poke her nose. She let out a gurgling sound, crunching her nose while looking at me. She looks so cute. Even though she's only three months old, she's a bit bigger than her age. Her cheek was rosy and chubby, with a thin hair on her head. She's wearing a pink onesie with a bunny printed on it. "Your Daddy already left
PICTURE OF YOU 40 MR. KIM IS DEAD
I sat uncomfortably on the couch with Arabella on my lap. Mia's eyes were piercings on me while Arabella was looking at her with a smile plastered on her lips. It was the first time I brought a guest to our home, and she found her fascinating, with her bright red hair like her Barbie doll. I brought her home because I was sure she wouldn't let me leave until she got all the answers to all her questions. "Abby.""Bella, can you play with Nanny Sarah for a while? Mommy and Aunt Mia have something to talk about. It's an adult thing and not good for the kids to hear.""Ok, mommy." She kissed my cheek before she ran toward her nanny, and I waited for her to get inside her room before I focused all my attention on Mia."How are you, Mia?" "You change." She muttered."I need to.""What happened, Abby? You know how worried I am, as well as Cora. You didn't even say goodbye to us, so we won't worry. We search everywhere to find you and Matthew, afraid that his parents found you first and wil
PICTURE OF YOU 41 MATTHEW IS ALIVE
MIA"What? I bolted up from my seat, eyes wide open. "You....your Matthew? As in Matthew Kim?" I asked, surprised, but he just chuckled."Yes, as in Matthew Kim.""But you died five years ago.""Oh so, you and your boss were one of the shareholders that my parents didn't inform about my fake death because someone is after me. I'm sorry about that, Mrs. Arevalo. I think my mother forgot to tell you." He said as if we were only talking about the weather today. He even shrugged his shoulder. While I am seething in anger, seeing his calm demeanor. "How could you? I screamed. I rushed to him and landed a slap on his face. He almost fell to the floor without the help of his assistant. "How could you do this? How could you do this to her?" I tried to slap him again, but he caught my hand before it touched his face. "What is your problem? He seethed and pushed my can't away. "What is my problem? My problem is you." I screamed, tears now welling from my eyes. "Guard!!! He screamed, and two
PICTURE OF YOU 42 MEETING MATHEW
ABBYIt was already four in the afternoon when Mia burst inside my office with tears streaming down her face. I was surprised when she quickly hugged me tightly, sobbing."Mia! What's wrong? What happened at the shareholders meeting of the Kim. Is Kayla there? Does she hurt you?" I asked, worried."Abby. Oh my god, Abby. He's there. He is in there in the flesh. I can't believe it with my own two eyes. But he was there. I touch him. I talk to him." She blabbered, now pacing back and forth in front of me."Who was there, Mia? And can you stop pacing back and forth in front of me? You're making me dizzy.""Abby. He was there in the flesh. He is alive.""Who are you talking about?" I asked again, annoyed. She is starting to annoy me for mentioning him without telling me the name of the person she was talking about. "Matthew. Matthew Kim. " I staggered backward, and I slumped on my seat."Mi..Mia. Please don't joke about him. It's not funny at all." I said, clutching my chest where my hea
PICTURE OF YOU 43 MY FIANCEE
How are you, Kayla? It's been a long time, right?" I asked, smiling, but she looked at me as if she saw a ghost."I hear you're Mr. Kim's fiancee. How did it happen?" I asked. I picked up the glass of water before me and casually sipped it to remove the lump in my throat. I wanted to cry in front of Matthew, pull him in my tight embrace, tell him how much I missed him, how much I longed for him, but I couldn't. I'm afraid that I will lose him entirely without him recognizing who I am in his life. I can wait until he regains his memories as long as he is alive."Oh, she was my girlfriend before I lost my memories. I'm sure Mrs. Arevalo told you about it." Matthew answered on her behalf. I nodded. It is painful because she remembers her but not me. "And I remember some of our memories.""She's lucky. I'm sure it was all good memories. " I said, not leaving my eyes on Kayla."Abbygail Park. What are you getting into?" Kayla asked this time, glaring at me."You, you're Abbygail Park and n
PICTURE OF YOU 44 WHO IS SHE?
ABBYGAILWe arrived at the clinic of Arabella Doctor, with Matthew carrying her all the way. Even when we were inside the car, she wouldn't let go. "What happened to our beautiful Princess? Why you're so pale and have tears in your eyes, and why you have a bruise on your knees?" Doctor Ana asked her, still clutching on Matthew's neck. "Can you lay down on the bed, Princess?"No! I want Daddy to carry me." Ana looked at me frowning, but I just smiled shyly at her."I fell on the floor earlier. That's why I have a bruise on my knees." Arabella murmured, and I felt guilty about it."Can I just sit, and you sit on my lap?" Matthew asked. Arabella smiled and nodded her head. Matthew smiled and kissed her cheek. I bite my lips, preventing my tears from falling, when a wide grin appears on my daughter's lips. Matthew sat at the edge of the bed, and he sat Arabella sideward on his lap with her face leaning on his chest. Ana checked her pulse and heartbeat and then looked at me. "What?" I mo
