It's been a few days since Rita had begun living with the Brabra's. A few days of grief, a few days of pain and sadness. To make matters worse for her, she couldn't get ahold of Rodrigo. His line wasn't going through and even when she asked around in the office, nobody seemed to have seen him. Rita was confused on what to do. It wasn't like Rodrigo not to take his calls especially if he knew she was the one calling.Rita tried all she could to get him but each time she tried, she was met with no response. She was currently in her office, going over some files when Yasmin announced that a lady was here to see her. Rita wasn't expecting any visitors and so, she was quite surprised by this. Recently, she had been wary of visitors for fear of them attacking her since she seemed to be their best bet."How does she look and please, whisper", Rita said."Not quite old, she has some greying hair at the side", Yasmin whispered.Rita didn't know her and she was just about

After getting the tape from Harold and once again reminding him to keep this a secret, Rita and Camille left the Mart. Luckily for her, Camille had a tape machine that could play the file. They got to her house soon and Rita was a bit nervous at what they would discover.Camille noticed this and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. Rita was really glad that Camille was on board with everything they had done so far. She couldn't imagine if they had opposing views about this. It would prove much more difficult for her to handle.Rita brought our the tape, inserting it into the machine. They sat back as they watched it play to the time Rodrigo walked into the Mart."That's him, that's my son", Camille said.Rita's heart seized as she saw the man she loved. She was once again in awe at his handsomeness and how beautiful he looked. They watched as he made his way into the Mart, indeed getting the groceries. He left the Mart soon, hailing a taxi that drove by tha

Rita woke up with a start the next morning. She had dreamt that Rodrigo was back but just as she wanted to touch him, he disappeared from her reach. She groaned as the alarm gave a shrill sound. She switched it off as she made her way to the bathroom to do her business. When she was done, she made her way to the balcony, leaning against the railings as she allowed the cool morning air to hit her face.The day was the early, as she watched the moon shine down on the earth with all it's beauty. She remembered the incident with Rodrigo as they threw coins into the fountain with the moon's light guiding them. That was the day they shared their first kiss, the day Rita knew she was in love with him. That day felt like a lifetime, considering everything that happened ever since. She wished she could turn back the hands of time and instructed Rodrigo not to leave on the last day she saw him. Maybe he would have been here, maybe none of this would have happened.As Rita's mind was

"How have you been Camille?", Rita asked.She had been in her house for a while now and she was glad that she was better and more healthier. Rita knew what made her Ill, it was simply stress and she planned to take that away from her as much as possible."I'm just here, hoping and praying that Rodrigo comes back to me soon", she said.She was dressed in a wool sweater and a long skirt. The weather had dropped which was ushered by more snow. The news forecasted that it might get heavier as the day goes by, hence everyone had to cover up if they didn't want to catch a cold."He will Camille, trust me. Rodrigo would always find us", Rita smiled sadly.She was holding on to his words. Those words had been her anchor ever since his sudden disappearance, it was the last thing he said before he left her house."Yes, I know my boy will come home, I just know it", she said."Have you had anything to eat?", Rita asked."Not really, I just had some tea i

The following day, Rita was at work when she got a call from Francis. Her heart raced, her thoughts going wild."Hello", she croaked."Miss Anderson... I have some news", Francis said."Go... Go on", Rita stuttered.She didn't know what she'll do if they reported that Rodrigo was dead. There was no doubt about she would join a convent rather than getting married to a pig like Edmundo."The subject was sighted in a remote village on the outskirts of the country", he said."Are you sure about this?" Rita asked.She couldn't afford her hopes to be raised again only to have them dashed. She loved Rodrigo too much to play with her heart."We're still looking but we're certain he's the one we saw" Francis said."Okay.. okay, I hope so. Please keep me posted the minute you get anything", Rita said."Will do", Francis said before cutting the call.Rita relaxed back on her chair, toying with her pen. If it was certified that Rodrigo was
