“Come here,” I spoke to Pauline. She sit in our middle.I look at Paul, I can see that he’s nervous but I gave him a smile to calm him.“Do you still remember how I described your Father?” I ask Pauline.She nodded, “He’s a singer, handsome, and loyal.”“What do you want to do now that you know some details of your Father?” I ask, she look at the sky like she’s thinking of the answer. I glanced at Paul, his eyes are getting red while he’s on Pauline’s back.“I want to see him and ask him why he’s not here. I’m five years old already but I haven’t seen him,” she answers with her low voice.“Are you mad at him?” I ask.She shakes her head, “No, Mommy. If Daddy has a reason, I don’t think I’ll be mad at him. Does Daddy still love us?”I slowly nodded, “He loves us, baby.”“Where is he now?” she asked while looking at me. I stared at his face.“B-behind you…”She turned her head immediately to see it, she stand up when she saw Paul.“P-Pauline…”Pauline’s tears fell from her eyes while st
I suddenly stood up when I heard Pauline’s loud cry from our room, I put my clothes on immediately as I run to her.“Mommy!” I hugged her when I saw her red face.“What happened?” I ask while I’m wiping her tears.“I thought you and Daddy left me here,” she answers while crying, I hugged her again.“Mommy and Daddy slept on Uncle Josh and Uncle Aeron’s room, sorry,” I say.He wasn’t contented of what happened in the bathroom last night and we had a round two on the bed. Because of tiredness, I fell asleep there!“Stop crying, Mommy is here,” I comfort her.“Where’s Daddy?” she asks.“I’m going to call him, stay here, okay?” I utter, she nodded.Paul is still sleeping.“Hey, mister, wake up!” I say as I removed his blanket.My eyes widen when I saw his thing. That’s how big his thing is?! It became more big than before!I notice his look at me, I look away as I turned around.“Get dress, your daughter is waiting for you,” I say before I left the room to go to our room.As Paul went in
“I won, Janine. Give me the half million!” Shia says.“Me too!” Josh and Aeron says, I raised my eyebrow.“Bavina! Why did you betray me?! If you didn’t comeback to him, I should’ve won!” Janine complains to me. My eyebrows arched.“We had a bet if you two will go back to each other. Since you came back to each other, me, Shia, and Josh are the winner,” Aeron explains, I glared at them.“You’re not a kid anymore!” I scolded them but they ignored me.After I thought wisely if I could accept him again, the four made a bet already. Wow, they are a good friends!We told them about our relationship already, everyone is happy, except for Janine who lost the bet.“There’s no back-out on this group, Janine!” Aeron teased Janine. She frowns.“Give me your bank accounts, half million is just coins for me. Do you want own land? Resort?” she asks to the three that made us laugh.“I want airplane!” Josh answers that made us laugh again.“I want boyfriend!” Shia yelled.“You won’t get a boyfriend!”
I smiled when I saw Aeron and Josh, they are going to stay here to welcome the new year.“Uncle Aeroooon!” Pauline shouted before she run towards Aeron.It’s been days but it feels like they knew each other for so long because Pauline is really close with Josh and Aeron already.We’re currently here in our rooftop while waiting for the new year. It’s 11pm already but Pauline is still jolly.“We’re here, b*tches!” Janine shouted while walking towards us.She went to me and hug me.“You’re overreacting again, Janine!” Shia complains.“Why do you care?! Mind your own business!” Janine fired back, I laugh a little.They walk towards Josh‘s and Aeron’s direction since the beers are there already to celebrate the new year. I stopped when I saw who arrived next.He smiled at me.“Hi,” he says, I smile.“Aren’t you mad?” I ask, he laugh as he shakes his head.“I’m happy for you, Bavina. You know that I have nothing more to ask but to see you happy,” he says, I smiled and hugged him.“Ethan, I
In the middle of the rain, Love is what we might find. Like when you’re sitting on the long chair while waiting for the bus but in the middle of your waiting and the rain, you would find someone who could change your life. I clicked the publish before I kept my phone in my pocket. I’m currently here in our university’s garden since we don’t have a class for our last subject. It’s too early also, the guards won’t probably let me leave during class hour, so I stayed here. My eyes automatically shut when I felt the wind hugging my body. I heard my phone rings, I smiled when I saw that a lot of my readers have read the recent poem I just published earlier. I’m a writer, I write poems and novels ever since I found out that my passion is writing. I won’t deny the fact that a lot of people are reading my pieces on the platform where I’m wr
Paul’s POV “You’re so unfair! I’m still a student for Pete’s sake. Are you f*cking out of your right mind?!” I shouted. I can feel that my hands are trembling while I’m giving my Dad a glare. “Watch your words, Paul!” he said with his serious voice, “You know our business will get massive once you and Tacia will get married!” “Our business is big already, Dad! I will never get married with that girl! You know she’s the reason whymy life became miserable before, and now you want me to get married with her? You’re a worthless Father!” I held my lips when I felt his strong punch on me. I moved my jaw. “I told you to watch your words when you’re talking to me. You looked like your Mother!” I wenttowards him and grabbed his collar as I glared at him more, “Don’t you ever try to mention her here. If I know that I’d end up li
“W-what?” “Just tell me if you want,” he saysbefore he ate his foods again. I can’t take my eyes off of him because of shock. Out of the blue,he’s going to ask me something like that?! “I-I mean excuse me, don’t get me wrong, okay?” he sayswhile laughingwhen he noticed that I’m still looking at him with my mouth open. “I’m simply asking you if you want to help me get rid of the problem I’m facing,” he added that made me somehow breathe freely. I was about to assume that he likes me! “What’s the problem?” I askedout of curiousity. “I actually went to our mansion last night to meet my Dad, unfortunately he just told me to get married. Well, I’m hundred percent against of it because I’m still not ready, and I wanna graduate first,” he explained, “That’s why I’m asking you if you want me to be your
Bavina’s POV “Where are you going? It’s dark outside already,” I heard Shia’s voice while I’m fixing myself, I looked at her. “I’m just going to the mall, I heard there’s a sale in the bookstore, so,” I excused that made her nod at me. I can’t say that I’m going to meet someone. Besides, this will only happen today, so it’s not a big deal. I grabbed my bag and went outside of my room while she went straight in her room. There’s two rooms in our house, so we have our own privacy. *** I looked at the surroundings in the whole coffee shop to find Paul, I smiled when I noticed him waving at me, I walked towards him. “What’s your order?” he asked. I chuckled, “Aren’t you gonna ask me where’s your phone?” He laughed, I gave him his phone.
