After a few days, weeks, and a months had passed, Elijah’s belly had grown big. As the days, weeks, and months went by, Elijah’s wounds from the accident had also healed. So, he insisted to the couple he was staying with that he wanted to look for a job, to save some money. Until the month of his expected delivery has finally arrived.

“Auntie, please, agree already! I can still work. My belly is only five months along. Besides, I noticed I’m not having any problems with my pregnancy, Auntie. Please!” Elijah said with a smile and a gentle tone.

“Ahm, Elijah my dear, are you sure about what you want to do? What if something happens to you and your baby?” she said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Auntie. I can do this. And besides, I know my baby will understand me. Right, baby?” He gently touched his rounded belly.

“Alright then. Just be careful, okay? Don’t overwork yourself or I’ll be upset with you. You know I treat you like my own child ever since you ended up in our place, Elijah,” sh

    "Manong Ernes! Where are the applicants?" Lejandro’s ask Mang Ernest. "Oh no, Señorito, the interview is already over. You'll see them again tomorrow; they've all gone home." "Ahh, is that so? Did I come back late? I'm sorry, Manong Ernes," Lejandro said. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and staggered, nearly losing his balance. "Sir! Señorito? Are you alright?" Ernes quickly caught his master, preventing Lejandro from collapsing onto the grass in the hacienda. As Lejandro held his head, memories of Elijah slowly returned— memories of their last time together. "Manong Ernes! What’s happening? Where’s my wife? And what am I doing here in the hacienda? Today is our wedding day, isn't it, Manong Ernes?" "Huh?!" Manong Ernes replied in shock. "What are you saying? That was weeks ago. What’s happening to you, Señorito?" Ernes asked, concerned. Manong Ernes then decided to call the Doña to inform her of what was happening to Señorito. "Please sit here for a while, Sir. I

    ''Lunch: Elijah stared blankly outside the hut, where he could clearly see the children playing outside their own homes. He held his small belly and said, "My child, I will raise you full of love. You will grow up healthy and full of energy, just like the children I see now. I will stand on my own two feet just to raise you well, my child..." he whispered, still holding his belly. His stomach wasn’t showing yet since he was only about a month into his pregnancy. "I wonder how Lejandro is doing? Is he in a good condition now? I wonder if he ever thinks of me? Or maybe he misses the happy times we had together?" Elijah thought as the wind blew his long hair behind him. Being in the province, Elijah could fully enjoy the fresh air—just what he needed for his pregnancy. "Elijah!" "Dear! Aren’t you hungry yet?" "Sorry I was a bit late with the cooking," said Aunt Bora to her. Elijah wiped a tear that had unknowingly fallen down her cheek. Ernesto, who was busy picking sweet potat

    “Without any difficulty, I got in right away.” “Where could Furtiza be now? Why can’t I see her? Is she really hiding from me? You can’t hide from me, Furtiza! Now that I’ve gotten into Hacienda Ferman. If you had just granted my request, things wouldn’t have ended up like this, Furtiza,” he said with a smirk to himself. “Excuse me! Maybe you’d like to get up now from the interview set?” interrupted a man who was also applying at Hacienda Ferman. “Ah! Sorry. I forgot someone else was next. My apologies!” said Erick, bowing repeatedly before finally leaving the spot. Unknown to Erick, the man was still staring at him, seemingly angry. “Name?” asked Manong Ernes abruptly to the man. “Roderick Bambino, 25 years old, single, and venturing into various places to gain experience in any type of work,” Roderick said at length. “You look smart. Are you sure you really want to work here in the hacienda?” Ernes asked again. “Yes, sir! I’m willing to learn and understand everything that

    ''A speeding car was fast approaching the spot where Elijah and Ernesto were having a cheerful conversation. “Move! Move! Move!” yelled the man inside the car. “Get out of the way! My brakes aren’t working!” he shouted repeatedly as the car drew closer to the two. Ernesto acted quickly. He immediately pushed the wheelchair Elijah was sitting in. Because of the force, the wheelchair toppled over at the edge of the road. “Ahhh! Ouch… That hurts!” Elijah cried out. But he stopped complaining when he saw how close Ernesto came to getting hit by the runaway car. “Oh my God!” Elijah exclaimed as he slowly stood up and straightened himself. He carefully approached Ernesto, who was sprawled on the road. Because of the wounds on his face and body, Elijah struggled to walk toward Ernesto. Suddenly, Ernesto lifted his head and looked around, searching for Elijah. When he saw him, he stood up despite the pain and quickly rushed over. “Sh*t! Just my luck. And of all times, I had to have co

    "Papa! Good morning... Are the papers ready for my trip to America?! I need to leave today!" said Furtiza, ( Elijah), hurriedly to her father. "Yes, my child! The papers are ready. You're in charge of everything now," replied Doque as he handed the papers to Furtiza. "Yes! I can finally leave this country. I can finally get the face I've always dreamed of having," Furtiza whispered happily to herself. "Good thing Papa asked me to go abroad. I don't have to worry about a thing—he took care of everything," Furtiza said with a smile as she walked away. "Bye, Papa!" she said, kissing Doc Doque on the cheek. As Furtiza left Doque Hospital, Doc Doque immediately instructed Dref Mowre to follow her. "Follow my daughter. But don’t let her know you’re tailing her wherever she goes. She might notice and get upset with me again," Doc Doque Juarez calmly ordered. "Don’t worry, Chairman. I’ll handle everything," Dref responded before quickly leaving to follow Elijah, aka Furtiza.

    Aling Elvie left Doque Hospital in silence. She walked away from the nurse without a word."Where could Ma'am Elijah be now? Why was she transferred to another hospital? Is her condition serious? I wish I hadn't left her side. I would’ve known what to say to Señor Lejandro," Elvie said to herself."Which hospital should I look for Elijah in now?" Aling Elvie anxiously asked herself as she walked out of the hospital—when she suddenly spotted a familiar face."Wait a minute! That looks like Ma'am Elijah. I thought she was transferred to a different hospital? Why is she here? And what's more surprising—she's dressed well, looking sexy, and even wearing high heels?!" Aling Elvie wondered in shock as she secretly followed the woman who resembled Ma'am Elijah."And the doctors and nurses she passes by are even showing her respect? Is what I'm seeing real? She doesn’t act like the Ma'am Elijah I knew," Elvie told herself."Excuse me? What are you staring at? Can you step aside? You’re blocki

    Someone’s “Ernesto, I thought you were in Manila? Why are you here in Bulusan?” asked Tiya Bora. “I ran into some bad luck at my workplace in Manila, Aling Bora. They changed the director and removed all the old employees from Doque Hospital. They replaced us with new staff. It’s really frustrating—the new director has no compassion. They just fired us without warning!” Ernesto explained, visibly annoyed. “Why would they do that? That new director sounds awful. Oh well, karma’s fast, hijo! Hahaha!” Tiya Bora said, laughing. “Oh well, stop by the house later so we can catch up, hijo. I’m sure Karding misses you. You’re the only young man who used to visit our home,” she added happily. “Sure, ma’am. Maybe you’d like me to accompany you to town too? I can push the wheelchair for him. You’re too old to be taking care of a patient, Aling Bora. Why were you the one assigned to care for this person, anyway?” Ernesto asked, frowning. “Wow! This guy’s full of himself!” Elijah thought, bu

    Elijah: POV "Good morning, Manang Bora. How was your sleep? Did you sleep well?" I greeted Aling Bora cheerfully. "Oh! You woke up so early, dear. Aren’t your legs hurting? And you're even cooking! Oh no, you might strain yourself, dear. Let me take over that," said Aling Bora with concern. "I can manage, Manang. Besides, it’s good for me to move my legs around—it might help them recover. And I’m not used to just sitting around, Aling Bora. I’d only get bored if I had nothing to do inside the house. So please, let me do it," I said with a smile, even though I could still feel the pain from the wound on my cheek. After saying that, I went back to cooking our breakfast. "Whoever marries you will be very lucky, dear. You’re so kind, hardworking, and respectful," I heard Aling Bora say as she arranged the dining table. "Ahmmm... I don’t really know, Aling Bora." "Wait a moment, dear..." Aling Bora said, stopping me gently. "Why don’t you just call me 'Tiya' (Auntie)? Since you’ll
