LENS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I am alone changing my clothes inside my room because I am dirty and sweating, cleaning the house. I want the whole house to be clean. I want the food to be ready before Duke arrives from work because I know he is tired. Duke is always travelling delivering things that their clients ask. He is working in a logistic company while I am working from home. I am doing my online cosmetics and clothes business, and at the same time, I am teaching English lessons to Korean students. Duke and I are already engaged, and we are living together in the house that my parents gave me because they moved now to Canada. They left their car under my name, too, and we are so lucky to start a new life together without starting from scratch. Duke is working hard to save money. Same as me because we are planning to put up a resto- bar business in the future. So that he doesn’t need to go to work every day and we have our own time. No boss, no reports and most of all, we

I woke up without Duke beside me. He is still not home. It is already seven ‘o'clock in the morning and I am late for my appointment. I drink my coffee and take a bath. Mark is already messaging me asking me where I am now. He is already waiting for me at the cafe that we set to meet.. I call Duke but he is not answering his phone. I message him but he is not also replying. I hope he is okay. Even though I am in a hurry I still manage to take a pen and paper to leave a note for Duke. “Hi, love, I know that you are already tired and I am not home to make you coffee. That is why I made you coffee in advance. Just microwave it if it is already cold when you arrive. I went to the cafe at the Molino to meet up with the buyer and to send a package to LBC. I love you so much an

I don’t know why I can’t get Lady out of my head. I feel like I am mesmerized by her smile, by her face, and by the way, she talks, the simplicity that shows her real beauty captures my attention and I can’t forget the beauty of her face no matter what I do. It makes me want to see her and I really want to see her now because I can’t concentrate on my work. I am facing my monitor and physically present at work but my mind is with her and I don’t know why. I put my phone inside my pocket and brought it inside the production floor to check for her reply to my message. I am checking my phone from time to time and she is not accepting my friend request, she is not replying to my messages either and she is not answering my call that bothers me. That makes me think about her more and I don’t know what to do because I can’t get her out of my head. I can’t concentrate on my work and I feel like I am floating with the vision of her inside my head. I feel like I want to shout, I feel like I w

What happened to Lady makes me realize my craziness. I didn’t know that she was pregnant, a good thing that nothing’s happened to our child. I am stupid not to know about it because I am so busy and focused on Candy. Now Lady is pregnant and I will not forgive myself if something happens to her and to our baby. I need to fix things up. I need to break up with Candy and focus on Lady. I need to clean my mess. I will fix everything with Lady. I don’t want to leave her alone for one month but I have to, because I have work to do and this time it is pure work and after one month I will go home and take good care of Lady. I asked my younger cousin to look over Lady while she is studying nursing. I picked her up in their house in General Trias and I promised Lady that I will resign and quit my job after this one-month project. I will focus on her and take good care of her, now that she’s pregnant. We will put a business together so that I don’t need to go o

I was surprised when I heard a crash in the living room. While I am fixing my schedule for teaching online. I don’t know what it is because I know there is no one downstairs. The door is locked so no one can get inside. While I am inside my room and  Pearl too. She is inside her room, studying. I went down to check what it was but I found nothing. When I suddenly heard a heavy crash upstairs.    “Pearl,” I called Pearl but she was not answering. That is why I got nervous and I went upstairs to check what it was but I found nothing, only the shadow running out the terrace. That is why I followed it to the terrace to check but in just a snap it was gone. What I saw made me more nervous because I don’t know how it gets here. It is a shadow of a man that in just a snap it was gone. While I am still trying to absorb what I saw I heard a voice of a woman outside and she was crying asking
