As I stood in front of the hospital, I clutched the strap of my bag tightly. It was as if my feet were nailed to the ground, refusing to enter the hospital. "You want me to go inside alone?" Ellias asked as he waited for me to stop crying.We've been out here for a long time since we arrived at the hospital. But I still can't calm down. How can I calm down? How am I supposed to stop crying when I know I'm going to see Eugene's lifeless body when I walk into that place?"Don't cry, I'm sure Eugene is waiting for you; his body is inside, so come on," he persuaded me as he pulled my arm, helping me in taking a step forward. Because of my loud crying, the pastors, guards, and nurses of the hospital were distracted after we entered."Shh, just relax," Ellias said, patting my back repeatedly.He took a step away from me to speak with a nurse at the information desk. While waiting for him, I noticed a large number of people in line for treatment; these are the less fortunate people who mu

It's past midnight. Eugene and I were already on the bed in the hotel where we were staying. I stretched my arms tighter around Eugene's body as we discussed getting a new housekeeper. "I think a younger one is better because the twins are getting more and more energetic as they grow; Nay Perla used to get tired immediately taking care of the boys even if they were still babies," I said, my eyes fixed on his growing beard. "All right, let's do it," he said, kissing my temple and pulling me in closer. "When are we going home?" I asked. I get out of his embrace and lie down on the bed properly because I'm tired. "Tomorrow," he replied, hugging my body from behind as I tossed to the other side. "All right, let's do that..." I said sleepily, hugging his arm in my body. ————— The next morning, we're all ready to check out of this hotel because we can't stay here forever. We waited patiently for the twins to wake up before leaving. The trip home was nice, so when we arrived, the twins

"Is this the place?" he asks. I nodded slowly and smiled as I looked around the place. We're now sitting in a waiting shed that wasn't here before."This place has changed a lot. That overpass used to be very old, but now it looks brand new and the color is also bright," I said, pointing to the overpass in front of us."So this is that place you used to sell things?" Eugene asks as he looks around the road. Now that I'm looking at him, he's standing in front of me on this busy street. A memory came to mind... I believe he is the boy I saw before. I smiled and stared at him; destiny had played us well."I used to sell candies and mineral water here," I said, returning my gaze to the street. This street used to be my home; I grew up fighting to live here alone with my small body.I quickly became emotional remembering those times. When I felt like crying, I just wiped the corner of my eyes. Eugene must have noticed because he silently patted my back, comforting me."You're amazing, a

As the twins get older, they go through a lot of changes. Thor and Loki became more mischievous and witty. When Eugene, Thor, and Loki get together, there is always a lot of trouble because their attitudes are all the same. Because of Eugene's childish attitude, I only had one headache before, but now I have three. Anyway, I'm not annoyed... I love the three of them, especially when they make each other laugh; it brings me such joy."I know bro, I saw her in the movie before,"My head tilted to look at Loki, who was now talking to his brother. I simply listen to him quietly. They've been talking nonstop since we left the school."Hm, she reminds me of Sadako," Thor replied to Loki. What's up with the shaken tone, baby?I stop the car in front of the company. I intend to take the kids to Eugene because I know his meetings will be over by this time. We walk into the building and everyone looks at us, some shocked and curious but most of them are amused. This is not the first time I've

My mind went blank, and I can almost hear the painful, harsh breathing in my chest. What the hell did I hear? My hand started shaking as I tucked my hair behind my ear and smiled at the doctor."But I used two test kits and it shows two red lines, and lately my mood has been different, I vomit in the morning, get easily dizzy, and I don't like some particular smell... all of that is a sign of a pregnant person, right?" my voice trembles in fear and heartache.Frustration and disappointment... I'm not just thinking about myself; I'm worried about Eugene's reaction and the twins. They were overjoyed when they found out, and then this happened...The doctor explained how I could have mistakenly assumed I was pregnant, as some women who are eager to have a baby on their own... Because my mind isn't in the right place right now, the rest of her words didn't sink in. She even offered me a pill that would get me pregnant quickly. I simply left that location without the pills. I ended up sitt
