An older version of Markus both female and male versions are looking at me with wide eyes.They were both wearing clothes that looked as old as the day that I had been born.

All coming from his mother who was shouting profanities at him using a language I didn’t understand. It was a thick accent and I wonder why I haven’t realized it before when she had been talking to us.Slowly, I scoot my chair to the farthest side away from him.“Y-you?!” His mother screeched, grabbing something – a notebook – towards his direction again. Markus had gone from an adult man into a toddler because he hid behind the chair, peeking his head every now and then, checking

Maria approached me hesitantly, her hand falling on my shoulder.“Don’t say that, dear.” She whispers low enough so only I could hear. “A child is never a mistake. Be careful how you speak, the child can hear you.”I shake my head, “No, it can’t. I’m barely five weeks. As of the moment, it’s really just a clump of cells.”I know, I’ve searched it.Like she didn’t even hear me, she suddenly grabbed the seat that her son was seating at moments ago. She positioned it in a way that it was now facing me and sat down. Maria leans down her elbows on my knees, and started scrolling through her phone.

Much like my pink binder full of coupons and vouchers, my calendar is always updated and scheduled to a tee.The past few months were colored and had different shades of circles. Not to mention my social events seemed to have taken most of my time, especially during weekends in my shifts at Ardere.
