Chapter 41
Waldo's familiar smell quickly hit my nose despite the distance between us. The woody and amber smell of his perfume that was mixed with sweet and citrus became familiar with me. And I can't help admit that I somehow got used to it. "What do you want to eat?" Waldo asked sweetly after entering the room where I was staying. I was lying on my back on the bed, against his direction so I couldn't see his face. I can't count the minutes that have passed since I left her downstairs. Be what time it is. I could feel my hunger but I have no power to help myself go down. I fell asleep immediately after they left me. I have no idea how long I slept, but based on what I could see from the window, it was almost midnight. I felt him approach and after a while he was sitting on the edge of the bed. The bed was a king sized one but with him sitting just a few inches away from me made it feel like it became smaller.

My forehead knotted because of the loud voices of men. Even with the closed door of the room I am occupying, I could still hear them loud and clear. They are loud, screaming, laughing like a madman. "Do you have a visitor?" asking for confirmation I asked. "My friends. Co-owner of el Refugio.”"Co-owner? You mean this land?”He nodded as a response. "This place is wide, honey. A single person won't be able to manage this hacienda. It's divided into four. North, south, east, and west. I manage the east part while the other manages the rest.”"What do you do in the east part?""Different types of crops are cultivated. Come from vegetables, fruits, or rice. Everything that can and can be earned.""You say you are not rich? Eh, your wealth," I said confused. "I said, I am not as rich as your parents. I have money, yes. But I also have

"Ready?" he asked while patiently waiting for me. "Where are you taking me?" I asked full of curiosity while adjusting the light yellow shirt paired with a pair of denim pants. It was her sister's clothes which he made me borrow. I didn't want to because his brother seemed to hate me but he made sure it was okay. I had no other choice because I had nothing else to wear especially and he was taking me somewhere. I woke up earlier that he was the one I bumped into. He woke me up and made me take a bath early saying that we have somewhere to go within the hacienda. Whether I prefer to lie down all day, sleep, or maybe let myself be swept away by the current of dark thoughts, I prefer to just drift away. It was as if he waited exactly three days to pass before taking me out of his house. I'm all better now with my wound almost seventy percent healed. I finished what I was doing and faced

"Hop in," I finally gave permission. He smiled again after straightening his stance before getting behind me. His every move is full of care and concern. He still left about a span of distance between the two of us. "I'll get really... really close, Prescilla Hope. Would it be okay?” he softly whispered in my ear. I closed my eyes tightly to prevent myself from making any noise or groan. I nodded slowly, permitting for him to approach me. The nervousness that I felt just thinking about getting close to him has doubled now that he is close. I felt my heart beat fast and stop when I felt the warmth of his skin touching my arm. I can also feel his loneliness but we both can't do anything because we are meant to be close. "It's fine, Waldo," I answered when I finally found my own voice. "Feel free to lean on me, Hope. I won't mind,” he whispered before maneuvering Rook. I clung to his arm when I felt Rook's moderate pace. This is my first time riding a horse and I didn't know that

"Look ahead," he commanded behind my ears.I bit my lower lip with the sudden surge of awkwardness I felt when his warm breath touched the small part of my neck. I have no idea how long we have been riding his horse. Some were too dominant for me because Waldo's and my bodies were almost no distance apart. He's only wearing a thin white shirt so I can feel the steam from his body. That even though the wind is cold I feel touching my skin, I still feel warm. I tried to calm down by taking several deep breaths. If I realize how close our bodies are, I won't be able to observe my beautiful view. Waldo occupied a large part of my mind so it wouldn't help if I understood even the fast beating of my heart. I blinked my eyes a couple of times to help my vision focus on the scenery ahead of me. It was a two-story barn colored maroon and was surrounded by a white wooden fence. The entire yard is large enough to fit five barns together. There is also a fountain in front and on the side there

I thought that what I saw in my early days here in El Refugio was already the best. But seeing how beautiful this part of the hacienda got me awestruck by how it gives me peace. The flowers are neatly lined up in the vast land based on their type and color. From roses, calla lilies, daffodil, daisy, iris, gladiola, and so much more. But what caught my eye was the bed of sunflowers openly accepting the radiating rays of the sun. A colder breeze embraces me now, colder than the wind I feel from inside Waldo's house. "Ken doesn't look like a man doing flowery things," I said with a slight frown. "He looks like a model student mixed with a playboy image.""Model student, yes. Playboy, no," he answered. "He was the only one of the four of us who graduated without failing a single subject. But he's not a playboy. Ever since I've known that man way back in high school, there was only one woman in her life.""Who? Lilian?” I asked, referring to his sister. "I wish it was her, but she's not

I closed my eyes tightly as my eyes went into that habit again. A simple scrub that only takes about three minutes takes me ten minutes now. In all the years I've lived, I've never looked at my own reflection for more than a minute except when I had to put lipstick on my face. But tonight is different. I opened my eyes again and as expected, my vision was there again. Waldo kissed my lips earlier. "Get yourself together, Prescilla," I said to myself through gritted teeth. "It's just a kiss," I whispered, trying to calm myself even though it was vague. "Why did he kiss me?!" I asked in shock. I pulled out my freshly combed hair causing it to become messy again. Feeling annoyed, I found myself stomping so that somehow I could calm down. When I still didn't get anything, I decided to go out of the room I was sleeping in, a room that, if I suspected correctly, belonged to Waldo. I tried to make my every step quiet so as not to attract attention from anyone I might meet. I tried to be

I frowned when I felt the slight shaking of the bed I was lying on. I know that it wasn't an earthquake, more like a person jumping on top of the bed. I wasn't going to pay attention to that and should just go back to sleep but when someone's stiff arm wrapped around my waist I completely lost my sleepiness. "Wake up, baby. Ezra's here," he said before planting a kiss on my forehead. I slowly opened my eyes and a little girl wearing a white and pink floral dress greeted me. She was jumping lightly while a lollipop was inside her mouth. In his one hand she was holding a bunny stuffed toy with one ear. "Is she your baby, Uncle? But she's not small like Ezra," the little girl asked in confusion, comparing me to herself. "She's my baby, E. She's your Aunt Prescilla," Waldo introduced. Ezra stopped jumping and sat beside my feet. He was looking at me intently while tilting his head slightly as if searching for who I was. And I just found myself drawn to her face. I became silent and

I couldn't do anything else but be blown away by the darkness that enveloped me. There was nothing else I could do but remain in tears as I desperately searched for peace. I can find no light in the darkness that surrounds me. Not even a meager torch could tell that I would be able to get out of my rut. I closed my eyes again but now in a more careful way as if I could erase the images playing in my mind. I don't want anymore. I'm tired of repeating this feeling as if there is no end. I'm tired of being hurt again and again and crying even for no exact reason. I wish I had finished it then. I wouldn't have thought twice before and just let myself end all my problems. If only I hadn't let it slow me down... I wouldn't be in pain right now. I hope my life is peaceful. "I would have stayed long ago. I should have ended it so that there would be no problem," I said full of regret. I felt Waldo's violent shaking. He removed me from leaning against his body. He cupped my face using his

"Mind telling me what's happening?" Waldo asked as he sat next to me. I kept my eyes on Ezra who was currently sitting on the floor facing the broken center table. She's busy with the coloring books that she brought from their house. It had been thirty minutes since she started coloring yet, her attention did not falter. I've been watching him for a while now, recognizing his great resemblance to his mother. I was bewildered by the truth that Katiya already had a child. It seems like last time we were shopping together and the topic of having a child came up. Katiya's rejection of the idea of ​​having a child is still clear in my memory. But now, what seems to be a small version of him is in front of me. Life is full of surprises indeed. May it be a positive one or negative. We will never know what is destined to happen until the time is right. I just wish that whatever reason Katiya has for leaving her child behind would not be a hindrance to giving Ezra the whole family she wish
