Thurstin's POVMy eyes are becoming blurry as I stared at the sky filled with spectacular lights of stars, nebulas, and constellations. What a breathtaking view but somehow it is hard to appreciate amidst our desperate situation.I took a deep breath.I could hear the old man in front of the truck singing a Spanish song. His wife reprimands him but the man does not give up. It still continues to sing.I looked up at the woman sleeping on my lap and I took a deeper breath.Kylie looked as if she was uncomfortable in her position. Judging by her posture, no doubt she is. Don't worry, Kylie. We're almost there.'I stopped jumping, it seemed like something heavy was hitting my chest as I stared at the woman. I don't understand my feelings but it's hard for me to see Kylie's hardship. I know he is struggling. Although his complaining has decreased, I know that he is now more difficult than in the past few days.It was her first time experiencing things like this and somehow I felt a pang o
Thurstin's POV"If you're okay, we can talk to the person they say can capture your documents. Can you stand up now?"Of course, Thurstin! You dummy! He was standing earlier, right? It's nice to kiss my cheek."I guessed so. Alright, I'll just get dressed," said Kylie.I took my camera and hung it around my neck before I walked out of the room. "Wait for you outside."I just stood in the hallway while waiting for the woman. Looking at the photos I took at Cole and Bennet's wedding.I smiled. What is that dinosaur doing now? I bet he already knows what happened. Or possibly Bennet kept it a secret from her because of the woman's delicate condition.Huh! No matter what, Cole is still missed.Cole and I, we've been through lots of rough. Our dangerous missions are not boring because of him. If Cole was with me right now, we might just be laughing. And he says the Vuldus look like monkeys.Thank you! Thurstin, what are you thinking? Why are you thinking about Cole? She's happy now. And sh
Thurstin's POV"Yeah, I'm sure... It was cole" he answered after a few seconds. I don't know but Kylie suddenly looked away. "She introduced herself. Also, naturally, she was at Uncle Emenrad's Mansion. She's pregnant, right? And she needs a companion so it's a given that the in-laws are looking after her."I nodded but didn't speak. Of course, Cole is better off with his in-laws and parents. His wife is even busier with work."I told her that I am with you and that we are here in Laayoune before the line was cut. I'm hoping with that piece of information she'll be able to help us. I really wanna go home," Kylie said sadly.I wanted to talk and console him but I couldn't. We are in the same situation. She was as helpless as I am. I just gasped.We walked for a long time before we got back to Old Town. I tried to identify which part of the hotel we were staying in but I was still confused.When I saw the familiar lane leading to the Old Town Market I turned to Kylie. "You want to go to
Thurstin and Maximilien have a long conversation inside. And I got bored so I stood up and decided to get out of the garage. It looked like they were going to talk for a long time so I decided to walk around and look around.Thurstin said that this place is the central commercial district of Old Town. I noticed that because of the various goods on the side of the road.It's like tiangge in the Philippines, only there are fewer sellers and buyers. There are clothes, usually Muslim clothes. Since the seller is also a Muslim.On the right side of the road are the Muslims. They sell a lot of household items, from cookware, and ladles, there are carved stones that I don't know what they are for. Even the carpets, vases, and umbrellas that they suspiciously sell when it doesn't rain in the Sahara.It was fun to watch the happy trade. The shouts of the buyers and salesmen kept coming. Maybe they haggle over the price.On the left side of the road were the Spanish merchants. They also sell so
Kylie's POVMy throat hurts, my back aches and my stomach started to growl. I opened my eyes, light suddenly blinded me. I raised my hand to block the light coming from somewhere. After adjusting my vision from the blinding light I looked at where I was.I was shocked to see that I was inside a room. Even though it's not big, you can't say it's small either.Where am I? What is this place?My brain is confused. I kept on thinking about what happened last night. I thought I was in Verona. It's like I was just talking to Aunt Vane last night. How come, I'm here? How come I'm in this unfamiliar bed? Why am I lying here? Am I in Spain already?My head throbbed so hard that I caught it suddenly. I feel like my head's gone burst. Aaaagh! What the hell?! I just felt this headache again. I reached for the pillow and covered it over my face. Block the light! Block the light, Kylie!I closed my eyes tightly and let the pain in my head pass. I think I didn't move for about ten minutes. I just fe

Cole's PovHe elbowed me again."Be serious!""I'm serious!"lol, He can't accept me anymore.I will make it hot in Afghanistan, I was cut off there.haha, I raised my hand again and was ready to scratch again when Bennet grabbed my hand and pressed it to his side.Shh! He can't stop me from scratching. My one hand was free so I still scored. But when Bennet gave me a nasty look, I immediately dropped my hand.It's hard, he might make me bald. Blah blah blah blah the Priest again. I just imagined something. I wonder if I will ever be able to return to my job as a Photographer.Thank you! I will miss chasing zebras in Africa and swimming in the Amazon River just to take a picture of a piranha. Hey! It doesn't matter, when I see Nicky,I can go back to my old life. He and Bennet are together, after all, they are both crazy. Bennet suddenly elbowed me so hard that I turned to him again in annoyance."What?!" I whine. My soon-to-be husband's burning gaze greeted me so I adjusted my expres
Cole's POVBennet just looked at me evilly then he took the spoon from my hand again and ate it himself. He ignored me.After a time, Bennet's nephew, Lukas, suddenly approached him and held out his hand. "Care for a dance, Aunt Nicky?" he asked smiling.After all, I finished eating, I agreed but first I looked at Bennet. "Dancing, husband. Is it okay?""Go on..." he said simply without looking back. He just answered the caller on his cell phone.I just shrugged my shoulders and then I held Lukas's hand as he led me to the middle of the dance floor. We danced the waltz and I didn't know how to do it so naturally, I stepped on his foot."Sorry," I said.Lukas just smiled. This man should share at least a little smile with his uncle, without Bennet always looking like an eater. "It's okay, Aunt Nicky. Although, I find it strange... the Nicky I know... is a good dancer."Oh, shoot! Yes, it is. Nicky is a social dance champion, the Waltz is just nuts for her! Geezus freckles!"Ah, he. It'
