“Hey! Sister! It is catching time,” Terry rapidly knocks on the door, “Papa wants you to watch him catching those fish. It is fun! Come on, we are about to go there,” he said hurriedly with them.
Tessa and Ally, from their deep sleep, suddenly awake, “Oh no! Papa is in the fish pen. Ally! Come on, get up. Let us watch him catching those fish. It is fun,” Tessa said while wiping her mouth, face, and eyes using her hands.
While heading to the door, she fixed her hair and opened it. As she opens, the light of the sun directly hits her face then she covers it with her hand. She then gestured for Ally to follow her outside while standing at the door. Ally slowly get up from her bed, wipes her eyes with her hands, and fixed her hair as well. But the optimists Tessa hurried here to come out from the bamboo house. She then goes down the stairs and waits for Ally to come down. Ally was amazed. When she saw the view of the farm when she comes outside, the guest Ally could not
Ally enjoyed her company with the family of Tessa. She feels happy watching them talking and eating. The family is grateful for what they had. They live a simple life away from the city and are comfortable with their way of living. They considered their farm as their little paradise. She adorned the mother of Tessa on how she cares for them. After a while, she remembers how her mother abandoned them and the pain left in her heart. She began to compare her situation while looking at the couple and Terry laughing with one another. Suddenly, Tessa bumps her side. “Hey! You feel like swimming, aren’t you? Where is your mind going?” Tessa jokingly asked her. “It is okay! You can be like that,” she added as if trying to get Ally’s attention. “Yeah! I am okay. Sorry,” Ally answered and smiled at Tessa. “You want to go swimming?” Tessa convinced her, showing her a thumbs up. “Yeah! But what about Terry’s assignment?” she asked worriedly. “No problem!
When Tessa and Ally about to dock the boat in front of their house at the riverbank, the clear and enticing water got their attention. Tessa droves slowly and stop the engine in the midst. She then embraced Ally holding her tightly by locking her hands in her back and let them fall in the water. Then they dive for a while in deeper. After a while they both appear in the surface of the water. Ally pull Tessa’s hair a little bit and laugh for she was not warned to dive in the water. They both kicking their feet to maintain themselves floating. Then they faced each other happily and swam heading the floating boat. “How dare you! You did not give me a warning,” said Ally jokingly. “Of course, that was my intention to make it exciting and surprising...ha! ha! ha!” Tessa responded and laugh. “My brother and I do like this before. When we go swimming in here, we pull or push each other when one of us don’t notice it.... ha! ha! ha! “Let us climb up in the boat and j
“Do you know what Terry whispered at me?” Jerry turned to Tessa. “What is it?” asked Tessa. “He wanted to drive the skiff boat,” he answered. “When did he learned to drive?” Tessa further asked. “Three months ago. I taught Terry to drive because I was getting tired of traveling from place to place. That time, my friend who owns a resort asked me to build him cottages, so I traveled going there morning and afternoon. So, I voluntarily teach Terry to drive so he can take over driving instead of me. That young boy easily learned how to drive. He immediately knows how to start the engine and do navigate. Anyway, he is there with me always when I go travel doing some works. So, he had watched what I did when driving. Tessa, have you noticed the list your mother given to me? I do not know where to buy the other items,” Jerry asked his daughter and looking at the front mirror. “Yes, I will show you, papa. Maybe we need to drop Ally first at her house
“Come on in, my children,” a voice from the room sounded. “Or do you want me to come to you instead?” he added. Then Ally, Shim, and Jap stop sobbing. They wipe their eyes and face using their hands, and like little children, humbly obeyed their father going to his room. They gathered around his bed, waiting for what their father wants to say. He stared at his children one by one and said, “sorry if I let you down. Truly, that I should be the one caring for you, but here I am doing nothing. Eleven years I became a prisoner in my room. I am tired of fighting this illness. I am such a burden to you and your useless father. If I could merely give you one day to work for, I would do it quickly as fast as I can earn a lot. But my body is like garbage ready to dispose of,” said the father with tears freely fallen in his pillow. After their father told them what he feels, Jap could not control himself but punch their walls. Ally and Shim immediately hold his arms and stoppe
“Hey, Jim Han! Somebody is calling,” said Max holding the phone. “Why is that you left your phone in my room? “He added worriedly. “Who is calling?” Jim inquired while talking with his other friends. He then excuses for a while and takes the phone, but the call stops. “Ah! No! It is Ally,” said Jim Han, surprisingly looking at the screen. “What?” said Max frowning. “But it is just a number. No name. You mean you never saved the number of your girlfriend?” he said curiously. “Yes! I do not save a lot of numbers. I feel tired of saving those numbers. It is a burden to me. But I know the last three digits of her number,” he said and smile. “You are funny, men. You do not want to have, does it?” Max responds and bends her neck, for he was intrigued. “Of course not! I do not want to get burdened; you know. Life is short and easy. If you do not want to be happy, then you are lonely. If you are lonely, then you got sick. If you got sick, then your fa
After Ally heard Jim’s admiration, she feels shy and turns her eyes to the other side. Ally steadily stands in Jim’s front, waiting for him to lift his chin. She looks at him as he intentionally enacts his expression. In a while, Ally wondering why the people look at them, then one of the personnel came and tapped Jim’s shoulder. “Sir, can you please drive your car to the parking area? Thank you,” said the personnel standing at the back of Jim. He waits for him to drive his car. He then points his finger leading Jim to the exact area. “Oh! No. Sorry, I thought this is the parking area. ha! ha...” Jim responded and turned around. On his back, he found out the other cars were waiting for his vehicle removed in their way. “Please wait on that table,” said Jim Han to Ally while pointing to one of the tables inside the restaurant. Ally laughed so hard and covered her mouth when she realized that Jim’s sweet moment was disturbed. While Jim drives his car to the par
Jan Lee suddenly awakes when her mother rapidly knocks in his room. He quickly gets up from his bed and stretches his body. Then, Jan walks toward the door. As he opens the door, his mother asked him if Jim got home that night. “Where is your twin?” said Winze, their mother looking for Jim. “Good morning, mama. No, he never came home yesterday,” Jan Lee responded. “Did you contact him?” she asked. “Yes! Always but same as usual. No response. You know that man whenever he had something to do, he does not want to be disturbed,” Jan Lee explained. “I thought he is here because I want both of you to help me carry those newly made plant racks in the backyard garden. Maybe you can ask Hea Bum to help you. Your father is old already. He cannot do it his own,” said his mother requesting him. “Alright, mama. No problem. Let me changed my shirt first. I will be right there in a minute, mama,” said Jan as he opens his cabinet and find some old sh
Then the Sy family got prepared for their family bonding at the restaurant where Jim promised to eat their lunch. The seats of Jim Han's car could not accommodate them all. So, Jan Lee used his motorbike to go to the restaurant. On their way, they were delay due to the heavy traffic, but Jan Lee was able to manage to overtake other vehicles, so he arrived first in the restaurant. He dismounted from his bike in front of the restaurant. Jan stands steadily, waiting for his family to come. He stands with the restaurant in his back while facing the street. Suddenly, an attractive girl wearing a work uniform got out of the restaurant and greeted him. “Hi! I miss you so much. Good to see you. It has been a long time since you came here,” said the girl after hugging him and kissed him on his cheeks. Then the girl pulls him inside the restaurant and gives him a seat. After giving him a chair, she then gets inside the comfort room. Jan Lee, to his surprise, becomes speechless
