Combie and her wool
Do you know what wool is? Have you ever seen it? What if you hold it and it boils?
I have a classmate when I was in grade 6. Let's name her Combie because that's her favorite biscuit before. We're not too close but we often greet each other every time she borrowed my sharpener. She doesn't have much friends, our classmates made her slave to buy in the canteen. One day she came up to me, which she didn't have any usual routine because she would just come in when she had a dull pencil and I let her borrowed my sharpener immediately. She shook her head, because that was not she need.
"I'm up to cr."( accompany me to cr). I didn't do those times so I accompanied her. We went into the women's comfort room and locked the door.
"Look at this one" She showed me a bottle of baby oil or an efficascent done flesh-yellow looking grease. It also has a tie and can be wear as necklace.
"What is that?" I ask.
"I stole it from my grandmother. I saw this in her jacket. I saw it boiled earlier, and let see it will work." I was shocked at what she was saying but I just listened to her.
Until the wool boils again. It almost broke the bottle. We were both shocked and we heard something approaching. Combie opens the door a little, aunt Diva, our janitress. It was astonishing coz she's was scratching her head badly. Maybe she'll clean the cr. So I told Combie that I was going to go out but in the state of shock I was still thinking of the wool. I don't know what that is. I thought it might be a mysterious wool or maybe magic.
Combie followed me then I smiled at her but aunt Diva as I pass by her side. I wondered because she was angry at us. I thought maybe she thought we were playing in the cr.
It still stuck in my head what that wool is. Why it boils even when it didn't turn on fire but I never asked Combie. I'm scared of her and also in her boiling wool.
The next morning I came in early. I'm playing "piko" with Ella, my seatmate. Combie suddenly grabbed me as I throw my stone but it fell. She brought me back to the cr.
"Why did you grabbed me?" I asked her. I'll take it because I'm going to win because I'm stoning two of the same teks I attached.
"The wool boils earlier in my pocket".She explained at the same time the mild wool inside the bottle. "So what?" I asked her. I'm really annoyed. She approached my ear then whispered. "There is a ghost in our classroom" her voice was very weak but I heard it
"Where did you find the information? You know what you're just making up stories! My dad said ghosts are not real"
I left her inside the cr. I didn't wait for her anymore. In fact, I'm scared of her and her wool, what if she's that ghost she's talking about? I went back in our classroom. All day long I ignored her. She was borrowing a sharpener but I pretended I didn't hear her. I was convicted but I was just scared.
After all, my grade 2 cousin was with us as she first walked. She was alone because she had no friends.
That morning I wondered if she was absent. She's not that kind of person by the way. I also wondered how quiet aunt Diva was. Because of my seatmate Ella she helped me. "Look at aunt Diva's neck. She had a wound". I looked at it. Fresh wound. I didn't look straight of it because I was afraid of blood.
Three days ago, Combie didn't show herself. It was recess time, Clara called me, my classmate. Rica called me, she said. I didn't know who Rica was but I went out for a look. She's a grade 6 maybe.
"Combie says that I need to warn you about aunt Diva, be careful from her she's that ghost". I was shocked. I even asked a lot, how they found out.
It's that wool when there's a ghost around it boils but that's not a weapon after all. It was just a warning to you, that there's a ghost around you. When Combie is about to go home, there's something flying above her. She ran as fast as she could but she's enough that she could rid of it because she had 10 cents in her pocket. The copper is heavy for the ghost. When she got home she had a fever. When they were about to sleep they noticed that there's something in their roof. Her grandmother had a whip, she hit her when they knocked it almost to the strength of the ghost. There I confirmed that aunt Diva was really the ghost because she was hit at the back that reached her neck.
Combie drop out of our school because of what happened to her. As far as I know she's now in Manila. I just finished grade 6 and moved to other school because we moved house as well.

Haunted house
I'm Mikaela but you can call me Mika and I'll tell you our family's experience way back 2010.
Year 2010, April 25th.
I'm a college student at one of the most popular schools here in Negros province. I took the Bachelor of Arts Major in English Language course. We are currently living with my Grandparents. One day, my parents finally saw a house where we could live for good. A house to rent. It was just near my cousin's house. The house is beautiful. Too clear. But what I wonder is why there is a cover or obstructed roof on the side of the house? As we talked to Mom about the house the owner suddenly arrived. Let's call her Brenda.
(NON-VERBATIM)
Miss Brenda: You're here. What about the house? Did you like it?
Mom: Yes ma'am, absolutely this house is good. It is beautiful and attractive, also I like its paint.
Miss Brenda: Okay then, it's a deal?
Papa: Can we see the inside so we can see what it looks like and what stuffs will be going to fix?
Miss Brenda: Sure no problem. Come on, let's go inside.
As I carried my dog Chloe, it suddenly jumped out the door to the kitchen. I immediately ran over and took her. Miss Brenda might be upset with her. When I carried her again, I realized that there are two doors (Main door and Back door) are facing to each other. Here I will give you a description of the house. Outside, you will find that this house has two floors. Mint green is the paint outside and indoors. At the edge of the house, you will find a narrow road with a roof blocking. I don't know why it's blocked. Inside as you enter the left side, you will see the stairs to the second floor immediately. About six steps from the stairs, you will find the sink and the bathroom is next to it. There is a shower inside. It closes the door to the bathroom where the kitchen is located. There is also a tree here. When you went to the 2nd floor, you will find 3 rooms side by side. All doors are fitted to the windows. My sister Alex and I chose the third room. Inside it, a sun glasses were placed on the door.
After we toured the whole house, no matter what, I asked Miss Brenda about the roof blocking the side of the house. She said, don't worry about that, she blocked it because sometimes they saw a snake there. So I never asked her again. But as I stared at the house, it seemed like there was a terrible feeling to me.
A few days have passed since we moved in, Chloe suddenly became ill. She didn't want to eat anymore. I also let her take medicine and vitamins that the vet prescribed to her but still had no effect. I cried because I loved the dog so much. She's a chao-chao I just saw her on the road so I just adopted it. One night, it rained loudly. We had a doghouse in the kitchen for Chloe. I let her sleep before I went inside. A few minutes later, we suddenly fell asleep while eating. Chloe, she knocked on the door and barked and the bark of terror. I would have opened up when Mom stopped me. She says that don't open it, I listen to that voice outside. There was a child laughing there and clapping. I move closely my ear to the door and there, the more I heard her laugh. Suddenly we were shocked to hear him speak across the door. "THIS IS OUR HOUSE, GET LOST!"over and over again. Dad, he hid us behind him and we all prayed until Chloe stopped barking and the boy stopped talking outside. We just bought the food and dad said, we went into the room. We pray before bed and we put a bible above our head. We thought that was all we could experience in this house. It's not over yet.
Days later (May 1, 2010), dad was worried that outside we would eat. We went to Mcjab and ate dinner. Then, we stroll too. A few hours later and we decided to go home. While Dad was still at the gate to open his hand, our youngest Clark suddenly waved
TO BE CONTINUED ..
3 A.M
"Good night anak" saad ni mama sabay halik sa noo ko.
"Good night ma" sagot ko at papasok na sana ng kwarto.
"Matulog na ha, hwag ka ng mag pupuyat" paalala niya.
Tumango lang ako bilang sagot, sorry ma hindi ko na alam kung paano matulog ng maaga amp. Nakangisi ako habang papasok ng kwarto.
Alas nwebe na ng gabi pero hindi parin ako dinadalaw ng antok. Lagi kasi akong nagpupuyat.
Minsan umaabot ako ng alas singko ng umaga sa kaka cellphone.
Humiga ako sa kama ko at nag talukbong ng kumot habang nakadapa. Magbabasa na nga muna ako ng wattpad.
Sheeeeet ang ganda ng kwento, sa sobrang tutok ko sa pag babasa di ko na namalayan na umabot na pala ako ng alas dose ng hating gabi.
"Last chapter na after nito matutulog na ako" mahina kong bulong.
Habang nag babasa ako pakiramdam ko may nakatingin sakin, kaya nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kabuoan ng kwarto.
"Shit !" Mahina kong mura ng may narinig akong kaluskos mula sa labas ng bintana ko. Jusko kung may sakit lang talaga ako sa puso siguro inatake na ako.
Naguumpisa na akong kabahan kaya kinuha ko ang earphone at nakinig nalang muna sa music. Sinubukan kong ipikit ang mga mata ko at hinihintay na makatulog pero hindi pa talaga ako dinadalaw ng antok putragis na yan.
"Hayst mag babasa na nga lang ako ulit" saad ko at pinagpatuloy ang pagbabasa.
Napakagat ako ng labi ng biglang nag sitayuan ang mga balahibo ko pero ipinagsawalang bahala ko na lamang iyon.
Tsaka ko lang naalala na hindi pa pala ako nakapag toothbrush at nakapag hilamos. Hayop na yan kinakabahan pa naman ako. Pupunta ba ako ng banyo o hindi ? Hwag nalang kaya ? Arrgg hindi kasi ako sanay matulog ng hindi nakakapag hilamos at toothbrush.
"Makapunta na nga lang" dahan dahan akong bumangon. Napaigtad ako ng bigla nalang may kumalabog sa taas ng bubong namin kaya patakbo akong pumasok sa banyo.
Hingal na hingal ako habang nakatangin sa salamin ng banyo. Agad na nagsitaasan ang mga balahibo ko ng may pumasok sa isip ko.
Naiimagine ko tuloy na parang may taong nakatingin sakin habang nakatingin ako sa salamin. Shit kakapanood ko to ng horror movies eh.
Bago pa ako mahimatay sa mga nakakatakot kong imagination, nag simula na akong magtooth brush at mag hilamos. At para hindi ako mailang nag papatugtog ako.
After ilang minutes bumalik na ako sa kama at nahiga, nag log in muna ako sa face book. Napahinto ako sa pag scroll ng biglang nag ingayan ang mga aso salabas. Tinignan ko ang orasan na nasa study table ko 3:00.
"Kinginang mga post to puro in a relationship, respeto naman sa mga single oh" naasar kong bulong.
Edi kyo namay jowa, jowa jowa pa ending naman niyan salamat sa lahat amp.
"Matulog kana" napatigil ako sa pag s-scroll na may narinig akong bumulong.
"Matulog kana Clair" napahigpit ang kapit ko sa kumot.
"Sino yan ?" Mahina kong saad.
"Matulog kana" ulit niya, wala namang ibang tao dito ah. Tsaka hindi naman boses ni mama yun.
"Ma ?" Sigaw ko.
"Matulog kana hwag ka ng mag puyat wala ka namang jowa eh" bulong ng kung sino yun.
Imbes na matakot ako lalo, bigla akong naasar dahil sa narinig ko.
"PUTRAGIS NA YAN KUNG SINO KA MAN HWAG MO NANG IPAMUKHA SAKIN KINGINAAA !" Naasar kong sabi at nagtalukbong ng kumot. Bakit yung mga may bebe lang ba ang dapat mag puyat ? May jowa naman ako ah nasa wattpad nga lang di nag eexist.
Buwiset na yan. Sino ba kasi yung bumulong ? Naasar ako sayo kung sino kaman nandidilim paningin ko sayo gusto kitang ibalibag.
---THE END---
My opinion to the article's; Without alcohol, the world would be a better place
WITHOUT ALCOHOL THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE
I totally agree on the author's article because drinking alcoholic drinks has a lot of disadvantages to the body such as cancers, including breast cancer and cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver and many more which it usually attacks the internal organs of our body, and this may lead to a person's death. Even though they always have this tagline; drink moderately and it’s up now to a person whose accountable to his/her self but still we all know that alcohol industry should be the responsible one since they’re the one who introduced it to the public. They should have know that it is very risky to produce these products because we’re risking lives here, they should have come up to a better idea that would benefit the body not to destroy it.
We can actually live without this kind of stuff because I do believe healthy body comes with a healthy lifestyle. People should practice eating healthy foods such as fruits and vegies. Instead of alcohol we should try drinking fresh milks and juices for us to live longer and by that it will really lead the world to a better place because non of us are sick and ill but instead all of us are healthy. There will be no spending of money in the hospitals and much importantly no waste of money instead of buying alcohols why not earn it for future purposes and in that case the money which is supposed to be spend in alcohol will have it’s purpose to spend properly.
Getting rid from alcohol is not that difficult because all we have to put in our minds that this is only for our own good. This is not to others but to ourselves. Life is too short so we should use it appropriately, God gave us lives not just to enjoy but to take care of it at the same time. Yes we only live once that’s why we should be careful as well because we’ll never know when our lives will end.
Last wish
“Are you feeling well?”I asked Nate, my voice was disturbed.
It slowly rose to the bed I immediately get his back because it's struggling to get up.
“I’m fine babe.”simultaneously smiled at me.
Why do you smile even when you're tired? I know you want to give up but, don't go first, please Nate just please don't leave. I think so.
I sat on the edge of his bed and grabbed his face, which was very pale but did not diminish his nice look.
“I pray everyday Nate to God that he would heal you. I am very confident that you will be healed.”I prayed as I stared into these tired eyes.
“Don’t cry babe, I’m not dead yet.”he wiped my tears, I was crying. You just don't know Nate that when you sleep, what I always do, weep.
I don't want to lose you. I can't handle that.
He's Nate. He has a heart disease, and to this day no donor has been found. It's been a month that he's here at the hospital. He's my boyfriend for two years and counting.
..........
“If I die today, tommorow, next week, c-can you grant my last wish babe?”he stuttered in his words. He just staring at me as if waving all the angles of my face, as if he were going to disappear.
I nod as I weep and hold back.
“Please take care of yourself. Eat at the right time, when I'm gone there's no one to cook with you, you sing to me even though I don't like that. Your antics, your laughs, your kisses I won't have fun with, you can tie hair. Be careful always, without me, just keep yourself. You promise?”
I couldn't help but cry, moan, know that? I do not want more.
It hurts. I heard the cries of it. I could feel the pain in its voice.
“P-promise.”I fell into his chest and cried. He hugged me. I still want to be with him for a long time.
“I love you babe. Goodnight. Can I sleep now?”he said, I settled down.
“you're like going to somewhere that would never come back, are you saying this is the end? Is this a goodbye?”
He nodded. My fear was diminished.
“O-okay you can now sleep.”I said.
“Don't cry when I'm gone.”
I just nodded.
I waited for him to fall asleep. I came out.
I held onto the wall suddenly, and wept.
Why do I feel, that's the last one. I was shaken.
“Wake up.”
I was excited to visit him at the Hospital when I was cooking his favorite dish earlier.
I greeted everyone a good morning. I'm in the mood right now. Because I'll see him again.
But as much as I was in good mood it eventually change when I saw Nate's room with doctors.
I came. The doctor came out and the father of Nate.
“I’m very sorry Deyna, but Nate is...”he trailed off then turned me away, and wipe his eye. As if I knew. Nate is dead.
Is this a joke?
I'm just shocked. So last night was the sign of goodbye?
''Don't cry when I'm gone"
I tried to smile at Nate's dad. I want to cry. But I don't want to disappoint Nate.
“May I see him for the last time?”he nodded. I went in the room.
I watched his body wrapped in a blanket.
I sat beside him and held his cold hand.
“Babe, it’s a p-prank right?”I looked at the ceiling because I knew what time my tears were dripping.
“Babe please don’t do this to me.”I bite my lower lip and smile hard.
The pain.
“Babe please open your eyes, comeback” I can't stand on my cry. I moan.
“You're so unfair.”I said as I embraced his dead body.
“I love you Nate. Unfortunately I didn't even say 'you were alive. Don't worry I won't replace you in my heart. Wait for me okay?”I prayed and hugged his cold body while crying
I miss you, my love.
Nothing really can stop one's destiny.
............
4 Years Later
I fulfilled his wish for me, I realized until his last breathed I know he's still thinking of me.
I finished school and got a job. I've been to everything I want to be.
But I'm not happy yet. There is always something missing.
Nate.
THE END.
Can't be first
Each of us has given a unique emotional heartbeat that races when we think of someone we love. We instinctively care about someone and not about others. The existence of someone that will turn you on, capture your attention or bore you to tears.
I almond had everything before I met her but I will never regret it. This is the side of my story. She's the first girl inside my own heart and I always wish for her happiness.
-
"Hey pussy cat.. write me a letter please "I command Ady.
She owe me a favor so I know she will never reject it even if it is against her will.
"Sure, but maybe later" said it with a twist.
No wonder there is a lot of disgust at Ady's presence. Her trip is so powerful and you will never see it. She doesn't know in fashion, she just loves wearing big shirts and borrowed from her male siblings.
It's so annoying right? especially when I remember the responsibility to her. Is that your responsibility? Okay as long as I wake up she lets me be her tutor. Teacher again because we are the one who is trying to help her. You know her grade is in dangered.
We never had a good start. I used to be annoyed, she used to annoy me but every so often I knew her better. When I didn't realize I was falling for what she was and who she was. When I didn't realize she's already inside my heart and mind.
"Can you make it faster?"its complaint
I didn't listen to her and I slowed down. Other than that I like her let's say I want to be with her for a long time. She's the person I always talk to, the person who always makes me happy, the person you can tell all my problems is safe. In our classroom we have different groups of friends but we're different because we're the only ones together.
I was there through her ups and downs. I was there to protect her. I was there to listen to every bit of her stories.
"He gives me hope... and it's too painful.. "Ady's crying story about the man she had longed for.
She didn't know that my heart was so broken that she was crying because of another man. She didn't know how I went to Greg and punch him, the man she loved. I'm ready to do everything for Ady. I rather spend my time with her and she is also my motivation for studying.
"I'm so proud of you Kyle! our future engineer "
I saw how proud she was of me at graduation. How proud she is that she has a friend like me. How she thanked me for all my help to her. I relied on her to be able to, maybe still.
That day I knew she had an idea that I really felt but she just seemed to be trying to close her eyes and cover her ears. I have driven my heart even better because in person itself the words of confession come from,
"I like you Ady!"
That's all I said but I practiced it a few times. She was not surprised but by the reaction on her face I knew the answer was immediate,
"I love you ..."
"... as my big brother"
"...as my best friend"
She even made me an old brother. Funny to hear but not to my part. I just smiled at her even inside was the pain. It's also not good to hear the word "Best" all the time
That day I found out that Greg was coming back. My only stupid part was that I was able to confess before I found out. Rhea told me she will remain my friend and my number one supporter for a lifetime. Not that way I want to be with her for life.
Yes, I'm here, I'm there, I'm there but it's just my story. Because that's true, I'm the obstacle, I'm the villain, I'm certain of everything. I know how much Greg loves Ady. I also know how excited Ady is to be with Greg. I saw how much they loved each other. If extended to telenobela they are the star. Greg and I became friends. Yes I am weak. It's hard to resist if you know you're ultimately losing. One against two?
I became the 'Best Man' at their wedding. All my life I have been known for being the best but I don't really like it anymore because just being the best means you can't be loved back by the person you love, never.
I had only one question before the person she married. The question is that I can handle the answer even if I am not her choice.
"Can you be my girl?... In another life?"
This time I was able to cry for her. This time she was able to notice how much I loved her. This time she was able to remember the days when I was there for her.
"Would you give a second life to this world?..Will you choose me?"
"Thank you for everything Kyle... and to answer that question? Yes I will"
I love Ady so much. I was her second leading man in her story. I was the second choice.
Jayson
He ran to their home, quickly entered his room and closed the door.
Sitting in the corner and covering his ear as the dark ideas surrounded him.
Jayson, Jayson stinks!
Jayson parentless!
Jayson fool!
These words revolve around his hearing from black creatures dancing around him.
he stumbles as he tightly closes his eyes and covers the ears so that they cannot be heard.
A few moments later those ideas disappeared and the room was quiet again.
He gently removed his hands from his ear and slowly opened his eyes, observed the atmosphere and he again looked at the open as usual, at the same time as the tears were leaked and his emotions stopped,he stays there in such a scene until he can get to bed and get hungry.
Morning Tuesday Jayson had no appetite for school, in the first grade of high school.
Just like the other day he had no enthusiasm to enter, he feared the arrival of classmate Roel and his colleagues.
he was especially shy because even in front of the person he wanted, Mila was able to make him laugh and cry in front of him.
Always taking his back and often destroying his belongings.
He was just quiet and didn't talk.
One day while in middle class, he could feel stoning him with what was going on from his back, candy papers and skin, he was able to peel his back and he saw Roel's classmate man a big monster that he was ready to spend any time with.
Adjacent it smiles at other classmates who seem to be little bub-wits who are still motivated to do such things.
Joel lost his concentration so his teacher called him out of time to ask their subject.
He answered nothing.
Replaced and again embarrassed the whole class.
Near the outlet, he noticed Roel's black wings widening and his companions' eyes widened, and he felt fear at those times.
With the bell ringing he quickly stood up to get out but Roel quickly followed him.
He was blocked and saw how his long tongue came out and read the fangs as the words were uttered,
“Where are you going coward?”
“The stench of your work!”
As in recent days and months he has tasted wild blows again, accustomed to embracing the fear of being bullied by young monsters.
He did not report it to anyone, he said nothing because for him, no one wanted to listen and events were just part of the world.
At their home, at the dining table his parents were mischievous, unassuming, emotionless, while Father was busy reading and Mother was busy with the phone.
Jayson was given two basins with no interest in his creations.
They didn't even notice the bruise on his face and the swelling on his cheek, nor did the word hello appear at that time.
he gently retreated his chair and left the child behind, sadly entering his room with a glimpse of it before the door closed slowly.
Inside his room can be seen his many drawings, shredded dark creatures and pictures of a young monster Roel.
Again, the dark creatures made him feel bad, it surrounds and utters hearty words, like bees whispering and occasionally shouting and yelling, he again covered his ears and began to weep until the creatures disappeared.
This time around he had what he opened in a small bottle at the same time as a piece of paper and pen.
A few moments later a paper letter he made after the surroundings were peaceful, it fell to the floor where his hand was motionless.
One day Jayson didn't come in, his classmates didn't see it anymore.
It was heard throughout the class and throughout the school, with no shock, just the class.
In their home many living people will be seen in black, and his Mother will be weeping as the children lead while the Father is talking to other men with a feeling.
It's a heartbreaking party and still takes pictures and talks about life.
Despite the busy atmosphere his room was overlooking.
His young cousin passed it and stopped for a moment as if something had been heard. It also left and never looked back.
In the room everything was left behind, which never stirred any great attention because the child was never able to understand, pay attention and help the child with deep fear and wound the soul.
Those encounters leave behind a reality that lives in our society.
Too late to heal
There are billions of people in this world that you can talk with, but Kyla was different. She's an only child and I'm her only friend.
I would not deny that she is beautiful and funny. She tells everything to me but it wasn't easy before it happened.
-
"Welcome Home!"full of enthusiasm welcoming me.
I'm sixteen years old so I can't believe anyone wants to adopt me. Yes, her parents adopted me but I don't think they adopted me because they want me to be their child but for their child, Kyla. I didn't regret being with them because they had everything I need and everything I wanted. My life has been good in them, I have grown in luxury, I felt parental love so I also accept their order to always talk to Kyla. They pleased me to take care of her and I accepted it as a payback.
The first time I met her, she became paranoid, she felt an extreme discomfort and after she went straight she would hide somewhere.
It takes time for our parents to make her believe that I was her big brother she rarely speaks.
We were the only one who were often left at home aside from the house helpers so I tried to talk to her,
"Hey wait, that's my shirt!"I said when I saw her wearing it. She just laughed out loud and ran as if someone's chasing.
There was a time that people are having fun because it was her birthday, but instead of enjoying her party she just cried.
"Why aren't you happy?"I asked
"I'm not ugly!!" She shouted and ran behind mom.
She is hard to be with but sometimes I suddenly laugh of her actions. So from that moment I promised myself that I will love her as my real sister.
It came to the point that she trusted me. We became closer and gradually she became talkative. She even told me different stories but I didn't know where did it came from as long as she just put her index finger in her mouth indicating that I should not tell anyone.
"No! mommy! I want big bro! Big brooo "Kyla cried in her room while keep on calling me, mom seems to be having a hard time taking her medicine especially she doesn't know if she's upset or happy.
Mom was so grateful to me because we actually saw Kyla's behavior is changing from a very quiet and moody girl to talkative and jolly. She also opened up that Kyla enjoyed going to the dark corner of the house to hide but now in my one call she listens and appeared in front of me. Becoming a doctor is my ambition and I'm planning to take that profession in college, one of the reason that keeps on pushing me to pursue that course is I want to know Kyla's illness.
Kyla is only eight years old but no one knows about her condition if it will worsen or healed. There are times she will cry in no reason, she often has no emotions and continues telling me things that are not normal. When someone is new to her eyes you will hear her speak.
"Do you know what is Love big bro?"she asked me one night.
"Of course Kyla" and gave her a wide smile.
"She... keeps staring... at me "she said it with no emotions
"What do you mean?" I asked but she didn't answered.
Some nights I thought about what she was saying. My sister seems to be lying but when she mentions a woman I can't help but wonder.
"She's so beautiful" Kyla whispered
"Can I meet her?"
"No! She's mine!" She shouted at once. I also saw the blush of her face. I eventually felt scared of the woman, Kyla was referring to. She's probably not a lesbian right? Every time we talked she's just staring at me and said that, that woman she mentioned often cry. I was over protective after that so I often watched her for days so I also found out who she was referring to.
Last time, I saw Kyla alone in her room and found the answer. I laughed for being too much curious on her secret crush. She was talking to herself in the mirror and with each stare she saw her own reflection in my eyes as well.
********
I couldn't help but cry when I remembered my sister. She died at the age of 16 and what makes it painful is she committed suicide. My little sister has a schizotypal personality disorder and that's just some of the symptoms of people with mental disorders like hers.
I graduated from a medical school. It took a long time but I reached the profession where my sister was my inspiration. As a great psychiatrist you will be learning, studying, diagnosing, and treating mental disorders. I loved this profession as much as I loved my sister. Now, I like to help others, improve their lives by conquering their mental demons.
The game is over
I know that and I won't let him be the hindrance of my plans either. It wasn't enough to target his company because I made sure I put the law in my hand by the time we met.
"Is he your boyfriend? " Harry asked
"Who? John? No, we're just friends"
" Really? So that was fake news, okay "
"What fake news? are you jealous?"
"Yes!... And you guys are not compatible to each other, just saying"
I laughed at what he said.
Days had passed at the same time as I reduced opponents. Sometimes it was exhausting but my heart is still on fire to do things. I always make sure I didn't miss anything, good thing Harry was there reminding me to stay calm. He made me feel that I was not alone that he's always there get involved in all my battles. I knew it was wrong but I was slowly falling for him.
"When are you going back to your world?" My question to him. He bit his lips as if to prevent laughter.
" Huh? Ahmm... you really believe that I'm a character in a video games, do you?"
"Yes, I saw how you get out from there don't you dare deny it."
"I don't really want to because I really came from there I just didn't know it was-"
"real?"
"Nothing... Nothing..."
"You're from that video game so meaning to say you're really one of those characters my brother played."
"Maybe"
________
Every day we get in the fight. I heard of John's death after the evidence was passed to the court which caused Mr. Co's company closed. I'm sure the police are looking for him too.
"Go ahead Ken"
"No! we will both leave here "
"Just go ahead! Behind you- "
"To the left..."
"Come on let's go! "
I jump over the fence using Harry's back. He followed and we ran away.
"Bend down!"
We're both exhausted when we arrived in the warehouse.
"I've seen him Harry, a little while I'll get the justice for my family"
"You will win this mission, I promise"
"What do you mean by winning this mission?You will not prevent me from putting the law in hand?"
"This will only end when you kill him Ken, So I won't stop you"
I hugged him tightly for what he said. I wrapped my hand around his neck and kissed him.
"I love you" I said, I never thought it wasn't his world that I might wake up one day he's gone.
"I love you too Kendra"
__________
I woke up with my hands tied. I was blindfolded and when they removed it I noticed I was surrounded by men in guns.
"I don't think that in all of my enemies only a woman gave me a hard time" the voice of an old man.
" Fuck you! release me here! "
"Indeed I must now kill you with the amount of sin you have caused"
I just stared at him full of anger since he killed all my loved ones. As his face drew I defiled it so he slapped me with too much energy and stuck my face to the floor.
"Don't touch her!"
I looked around and saw Harry kneeling and his hands were behind. He had a lot of bruises but he just looked at me as if he had pity. Suddenly he smiled at me and waved his hand back even it is tied.
"Look who's here, her knight and shining armor! They say the worst way of punishing is to prioritize its emotions! so I will kill your loved one first ” he said.
"You've been doing that for a long time since you killed my mom!"
"Oh! Your mom? the one you cared about! Did you know that your dad would be a great partner if she didn't intervene?"
"My Dad will never do illegal things like you!"
"You really have an inheritance in him Kendra you are both brave so you will be lucky too"
"You Evil Mons-"
It happened it's firing outside so everyone got panicked and I was able to remove the leash I was doing with the sharp back stone. I kicked the man next to me and took his gun.
"Chase her!"
I hang in the cadet hanging high and shoot them one by one. The police area was surrounded so much that I didn't know who to call.
The bullet would have hit me when Harry suddenly grabbed my hips for the two of us to lie down.
"Ken! I was waiting for you to release me "
he's still pouting as if we're not in the fight right now.
"I saw your hand, you were not tied up! You idiot!"
We stood up immediately to re-negotiate. The police entered the show finally.
"Nice meeting you Ms. Kendra Villaroel "
"And you are?"
"I'm a friend of your father, Mr. Ky"
He called the police. He also mentioned to me that he was so grateful to my dad so he kept track of me. I just thanked him and he left.
"Why didn't they see Mr. Co? that demon even escaped?"I asked Harry
"No, he's surely here !" I looked at him right away.
We just walked a little and entered another warehouse. I saw Mr. Co's hands tied. He's like a bird losing his wing because he's helpless.
"But how?"I looked at Harry again.
"Finish your mission now Ken! you can now get the justice for your family.
I even stared at Harry. Tears were already in my eyes full of anger. I looked at Mr. Co and hold the gun tightly while focusing on him. My hand is sweating because whatever I do I can't shoot it at an old man who seems so helpless.
"Aaaahhh!!!"I shot it to his feet so he could not walk
"He mercilessly killed my whole family Harry, but why can't I-"
He just hugged me so I leaned over to his chest while crying,
"Sshhh, I know you can't Ken because you're not like him so don't let anger eat you"
"Let's take him to the police"
I just breathed a sigh of relief and throw the gun.
"This is not your world but I want you to stay.I can catch the bullet for you, that if I could just repeat all the days I was with you I would, I know it sounds selfish but please don't go I love you"
"At the very beginning of your life's hardest battle I loved you Ken... but there are things you need to know. Will you still love me when you find out the truth?" He came forward and I saw his tears dripping. My forehead was wrinkled,
"What truth?... Please let me know"
"I'm also a player in my world and I'm addicted in computer games. This was one of the most popular games in our digital world named Kendra's Mission. I controlled you, your life depends on me but I ruined it because it was all my choice. The plot of the game was all based on my decision"
I really can't believe of what Harry said,
"Why are you doing this to me? what are you saying? "I got on my knees in pain, should I believe it? I don't want to get angry because it just covers my love for him.
"You are also a main character Kendra and I started loving you since then... I don't think I'll ever love you more than my life "he also came down to be honest, he was trying to hug me but I was pushing him away.
"Go away... please "
"I love you Ken and I'm sorry" added it, I was so weak I let ourselves embrace each other.
"I- I love you too... "I didn't think I would be able to tell him this despite what I found out. Why can't I blame him? Why am I so weak when it comes to him?
"I wish for your forgiveness"
"After all, it was a mission complete for both of us..."I forced to smile and accept everything. This mission ruined my life but it's also the reason why I met him. Maybe... maybe my whole personality was just set in one game.
"A Mission Complete Ken but a Game Over for our Love"
He gave me a one last kiss and he's slowly disappearing in front of me.
P.S: this is the last part of the story titled He's not real.
I bring him back to life
"Even the person who loves the most gets tired Chloe... and I'm sorry " my tears slowly falling down in my cheeks when he said those words.
Then that day Jenny was able to tell me that Charles was courting her.
"Why don't you answer her yet? "I asked her
"I wanted to ask you first... what do you think? is it okay for you to answer him right away? "
"No"
"Why? "
"Ahmm... I mean its up to you "
"You'll support us right? "
" Yeah sure" I lied, shit no!
I'm sure she will and that's what happened. They became official... I thought I could... I thought I'd be happy for them but it never happened. Jenny and I go out with him ,even though he's not around we used to talked about him often. Mad? Envy? I do not know... I gradually lost my appetite
"Are you ok? are you sick? "
"I'm Fine Jen... I'll go ahead, I'm going to have a lot more work today "
I'm used to getting everything I want. There's something inside me that I wanted to have... I also wanted to be loved by Charles.
"I love him Dad, I badly want him" I said to my Dad, aggressively
"I'll give all you want, just tell me" my Dad hugged me tight, I grinned
I heard that one day Jenny was in the hospital. It was car accident but I was more surprised to find out. She was with Charles and he was found dead on arrival
I trembled while calling my Dad "It was a Blunder!!! "
(but It's all your plan) he said on the phone
"Dad, he's gone! bring him back "I said with anguish sobs
(If only I can Chloe)
Dad was right, I planned all of this. I wanted to lose Jen from Charles to come back to me. Dad ordered to cut the wire of the brake of her car but that day I didn't think Charles would accompany her.
My world is slowly collapsing. I went to his funeral and a few thousand sorry I said in my mind. This should not have happened. He should not have been here.
Jenny was still in the hospital during those times. Her body was not yet recovered. I visited her once but I did not felt pity, I'm very angry to her to the point I blame her of what happened. She must be the one who died not him.... That was the first and last time I visited her, I locked my room, isolating myself while anxiety's killing me inside.
"Chloe! Please open the door "
"Leave me alone Dad! "
"If this is what you want, I'll bring him back" shocked was apparent in my face, How could my Dad bring dead people into life again?
-
There was a drowsy silenced lay over my large, square room but the loud, echoing sound broke it like gunshot. I went outside, curiously.
"What's happening Dad? "
"I'm sorry for that sound Eirenne, this invention requires a lot of energy needed to function"
" ... so can you tell me what's inside the box? "
"I've been working on this for a year and now I'm going to use it for him"
He slowly opened the box bigger than me. A human machine came out of there... A robot designed like a human being.
My father was a great scientist and an executive officer of Microsystems. He has been working in the 21st-Century technologies-genetics nanotech and robotics company.
"I started it when your mom died but in a few years of doing so it was too late for me to try to enter her memory... so I decided that you will benefit from it. Changing some of his figure was easy I just needed the fresh memory of the guy you liked "I stand still while Dad explaining me the information, I can't believe this.
"You mean... "
"Yes Chloe, The artistic intelligence of this Robot was came from that guy. It acts and decides like him... introducing Hw2.0 a.k.a- "
"Charled" I continued with what Dad said "How about his memory? what if he doesn't like me? "
"No worries, He still can remember his long term memories but you can control him anyway... here, try this toy "Dad reached out to me a controller with different modes, my smile widened.
"He's not my toy Dad... He's my boyfriend"
"Whatever you say"
"Thanks Dad"
"I will do everything for you my princess besides your birthday is nearly approaching.... You have grown too fast if your mom is still alive she will be proud of us”
I hugged Dad before he left and went straight to work. I read some guidelines he gave and studied it well. The looks were not perfect as Charles but I feel like I'm with him now.
I turn him on and listened to his Artificial heartbeat
"Hi, Charles"
"YOU-KILLED-ME"
That's what he always says when I'm not in control of him. I was scared. Does he know what my plans are? Is he mad at me? I didn't know but he's just a machine!
"You're mine now" I grinned and pushed the button of bearing mode.
"Are-you-ok? "
"Yes, because I'm with you"
"Will-never-leave-you- Chloe"
Now that I've been happy with this, I'm just crazy about this, just for him, for Charles.
He doesn't remember his past memories when I was in control of him so I was the one who reminded him. That how long he liked me, he gave me letters and gifts back then, he courted me, I answered him and what so ever.
I could talk to him all day. Jenny was right he's very gentleman, he loves to joke, be sure and drop corny pickuplines but I can't help but thrill every word that comes out of his mouth. Even his angry mode is still funny.
I immediately came home from work to see him. I feel so complete. I'm happy, we're happy.
and then she came back...
Some parts of her body was covered with bandage, her eyes were swollen and she was weak. Tears flowed as we faced and she smiled at me as if she wanted to see me. It quickly ran closer and embraced me. The person I was trying to kill, the person I was blaming, my bestfriend... Jenny.
"Chloe! Happy Birthday "she said while hugging me so tight" I almost died when I heard the news that Charles was gone but I fought back... I fight because you're still here and I wanted to see you, I miss you so much "
I was unable to speak that time, my conscience swallowed me. What I've done? What am I doing? My heart had pierced by the words she said. I hugged her back and dripped with tears in my eyes.
"I'm sorry Jen... I'm so sorry "
"Why are you sorry ? I'm fine, maybe next time we can go out again. I want to spend time with you again and I want to move on from what happened.. would help me out? "
She stared into my eyes. I didn't speak. I try not to do it. I couldn't say any words. I think she'll know the truth by the time I speak.
"Hon-I made- you - a cake" I abruptly glanced at Charles.
"Get inside Charles! "I shouted but he did not move.
I let go of Jenny's hands. I tried to find the controller, my body's quivering in nervous.
"You called him Charles? What's happening? "Jenny wondered
I continued the search as Jen stared at it. He's under my control but why am I nervous like this? I stopped searching when Charles held her hands.
"Je-n-ny"
I didn't move and held my mouth shut when he mentioned my bestfriend's name. A teardrops was visible in his face. No! There's no emotional mode in the guidelines. I control him!
"Chloe? What's this? Why do I feel this way? "
"Listen-to-my-artificial-heartbeat-my-Love"
"Charles? "
"Let me explain Jen"
"What did you do to him? "Her voice was sad and angry as I continued to shed tears "Why are you doing this?!!! "
"Because I love him!... Yes I love him Jen" I said in a cracked voice
"Then why didn't you told me at the very first place? "
"If I had said... Would you give him to me? "
"He's not a thing Chloe! he is not a matter of passing... he is not something that can be controlled "
I knelt down in a bad mood. Tears just keep flowing. Mafuyu approached me and confronted me "But I have my words, remember? two years ago? "so it said.
"It's all my fault Jen, forgive me" I admit but her emotions have not changed. She was still sad staring at me.
"If you just said earlier Chloe... if you just said "Jenny took my hand and put a silver necklace on it, something we both liked in a jewelry shop that she chose to give me.
"Maybe you left it when you visited the hospital" her last words and left me forever.
I was consumed by anger and envy. I drowned in so much love. I was the villain in my own megillah that even in this photo I am not the star
I forgot someone who was most important to me. I didn't think her memories with me because of Charles back then was my real problem. I couldn't have been better... I couldn't afford to lose Jen... my bestfriend
I confronted Charles. I wiped his artificial tears "S-Sorry" is the only word I can tell him.
For the last time I listened to his artistic heartbeat and I turn him off.
He's not real
[Game Over]
"Arghhhh!" Liam shouted and threw his video games controller.
"That game won't really give you the opportunity to win, it's obviously manipulated"
“Why don’t you come and join me!" He said.
Then the phone suddenly ring so I answered it first.
“Just give me one moment, I’ll just answer it right away”
"blah blah blah, if only mommy and daddy were here they would play with me"
Liam went to his room and locked the door. I can't blame him for what I responded to him. He was too young to loose a parent. My mother died in front of me and to this day I will never forget the circumstances when she tried to block herself with the bullet that should have been for me. I wish we had a normal life but Liam it didn’t happened to us because of Dad's enemies in the business. Yes, it is because of our large business but it wasn't his fault. He's my best Dad ever. I know Dad's plan for Mommy to get justice. He also tried to protect us but he forgets to protect himself. He was also mercilessly killed so I continued the fight he started. I'm at the right age to know everything. I sighed at the call.
[I already found him Kendra]
"Thank you John, I'm going to be there soon. I assure you my parents will get the justice they deserved"
I immediately went to his said location. Wearing my leather jacket paired in pants and I ponytailed my hair too.
"Who are you?!! Let me out of here!"
"You fucking asshole! you killed my Dad!"I shouted as the gun pointed at him. He just looked at me and smiled.
" Kendra? I should have killed you then!they will kill you!"I was holding tight my gun gradually by tears in my eye and shaking my hand in anger.
"Go ahead and kill him now Ken, we have nothing to get from him ,he will not speak" whispered by John.
I didn't hesitate anymore and I fired the gun on his head, knocking it off as I turned my back.
My brother was so innocent so he knew nothing of what was going on. He believes in the story that in an accident our parents died.
I played with him video games as I promised.
[K.O]
[ Player 1 Win]
My brother looked at me and I saw the joy on his face even though I lost him in video games. I was swallowed to see the laser focused on his heart. It was too late for me to try to push him away.
"NOOOO!"my tears were pouring over I crawled into the cabinet to pick up the gun. I heard the door opened and they eventually surrounded me.
“Bring her alive to Boss" said one of their colleagues
Instead to shoot he just hit the gun to my head so I stumbled upon the dizziness. My eyesight was dark but I still saw the ensuing events. A man came out of video games as it was surrounded by electricity. One by one he knocked down everything around me with his might and eventually he used to shoot them with a gun.
I was completely unconscious.
"Liam!"I quickly got up in bed
"I'm really sorry Kendra, your brother is dead"
"Who are you?"I'm trying to ask the man I'm facing right now.
"Ahh.. I'm Harry"
"You're from-? "I don't know how to say it because compared to the characters of the video games it is formally its clothing that looks rich. His body was just right and seemed to be old. Is he a real person?
"I'm here to help you"
It all came back to me. I'm alone now. I couldn't hold back and cried. My innocent brother did nothing to them but why him? My hand trembled in anger because I didn't know what to do now.
"I don't need your help! I'm going to kill them! I'll take my revenge! "
It just came and I was surprised that he suddenly hugged me. I tried to push him but then I could feel the warmth of his body so I gave up and cried more to him. He just rubbed my hair at the back.
"Shhh...I'm here”
A week after my brother died. Now I'm hiding first because I'm sure they won't stop until they get me. It’s painful for me coz even a good funeral I couldn't give it to my brother. Now we were slowly planning and ordering my brother's burial. I make sure he will be buried properly so I sent the police.
"You know what you look familiar, specially your style. I know it’s funny to ask this but are you that main character that me and my brother were playing? I also don't play with my brother very often so I don't memorize all the characters or heroes in that game”
"Ahh Yes, maybe but it doesn't matter" he replied
"How did you get out of here?" I added
"Let's just focus on your mission, that’s the important thing for now”
"Mission? is this mission destined for my life? all I wanted was to have a normal life but- "
"I never thought that your heart is too soft" he cut off what I was saying so I stared at him badly, did he just said I am weak?
I went straight to him and lifted my face like I was challenging. I shut him down and turned away.
"Where are you going?"he asked
"I will visit my brother's tomb"
"It’s too dangerous to visit him now because I'm sure they'll expect you to go there"
"then I will bury them alive"
I grabbed my gun and hid behind. Harry was devastated and followed me even though I don’t need his help. When we arrived, there were men around the cemetery wearing police uniforms, also holding guns.
"Real police wearing tags" Harry whispered
"How did you know?"
"Just trust me and wait for my sig- ...shit "
I didn't finish him anymore and I showed up
"Heyyyy, bitches with a dog tags... are you waiting for me?"
When I said that they had begun to knock the real cops next to them as if they were planning so I immediately ran and knocked them down one by one. There were more opponents but Harry followed me so he knocked them down too.
"Are you okay?"he asked as we approached each other
I ignored him and went straight to my brother's tomb. I just lit a candle and stared at it before leaving. Preventing my tears from falling apart.
"Sometimes it's okay to cry over and over" he said, he has now followed me
"Shut up....I will never cry again" I confronted him and stared at him badly
"You're prettier in personal" I felt my cheek red when he said it
"Who are you really? If you don't need anything you can now go"
"Let's do this together Kendra... Please let me"
"I don't need-" he kissed me suddenly. It took a few seconds before he let me go and he walked away. I was too shocked of what happened.
"Hey! Why did you do that!?"
"Sorry, my bad” and he still shrugged
We had never been to the condo I was hiding , we immediately noticed there are men surrounded us, they were in a black shirt and were wearing a dog tags.
"I need to get the files in my room" I said
"They were just watching but they didn't even know which unit you were in" I don't know how they found the place but I meant to change my name so they could have a hard time finding my room.
"Can you distract them later in the front? I'll go back" I asked
"Okay, I will do it for you"
I just stared at him and nodded. I ran back to climb the fire exit ladder. When I came upstairs someone watches immediately so I still have to kill him quietly. I peeked to see my bedroom door and Harry was right because they couldn't open it just watching some outside. They are trying to enter another room to find me. I'm still planning on how they can be removed by a sudden explosion from the front of the condo. When they left, I quickly entered my unit and took important papers. I put it in a bag and came out.
"Shit!"I was devastated because the opponents were next to me, they knew I was here.
I held two guns in my hands and knocked them one by one. I even used an opponent's body so I wouldn't be hit by a bullet. Next the gun was fired until no bullets came out of it.
"Shit!"
"You’re now alone, just give up" his gun was focused on me as I wondered what to do.
"She's not alone!" Harry’s voice from behind so the opponent confronted him he fired it with a bullet.
"Let's go, I have a friend who can help us" I just walked away and shook him first before following.
"John! I think these files are safer if you’ll be the one to keep it "I said and gave it to John.
"It's a heavy evidence to bring down some of his illegal business Ken, but I'll make sure to put it in court right away"
"Thanks John, be careful"
"You too, be careful because Mr. Co will not stop until he will get this "
I just nodded.
Two worlds apart: The finale
Since that day his words have not been cleared in my mind. A lot of what if's inside, what if..if I get to their world I die? How can I live in a world whose morning and night are opposite in ours. I see how he wants to get home. Almost every day he visits his spaceship and has to check on what things to fix. We also have a plan on how to get there again
We slept together. He uses to touch my hair and hugs me at the back. He makes me feel safe. He's so warm that I want to melt in his arms. I can't even leave this planet but I also can't imagine living my life without him by my side. How about telling him not leave? Will he listen to me?
"Stop being selfish Cath" I told myself
His world is different and I can’t hide him here forever. I'll do everything to help him. He can go home though... even though I'm not included. Our worlds are different.
The worst feeling ever is when I'm crying in silence at night and I just can't stop. I think I fell in-love with this guy that much
-
"so that's the plan? and we will do it this morning? "he asked
"Yes! Aunt Trina says there are some rebels in the west so I'm sure there are only a few guards left. This is your chance"
"But why don't you plan on joining me?"I didn't listen to his question
"I also heard that they will destroy another part of your spaceship to study it so we must hurry-"
"Tell me Cath will go with me? and we'll do this together right? "he asked again
I take a deep breath ”Yes... we will do this together"
-
That's what happened because five guards left that morning
We were able to let them study his vehicle in the laboratory which could add to the hurdle. I don't know what kind of smoke or experiment he used here but they immediately fell asleep when smell it inside
Because the guard was so small he was able to get behind and check his car. The problem here is the front and how he can get in
"You will follow right? "
I nod. "I love you"
"I love you too Cath"
I caught the attention of five guards. As part of the plan I cried and said I saw the alien they were looking for but only Mike had left us there
They followed me and even tried to talk to me. They investigated the environment after smelling the belongings. I hurried back near the car. He stated that it would cause a noise at the time of the day so he signaled that I needed to get in.
At that time I was determined to go with whatever my life will be in his world
But it was a fate that probably stopped my nervous. The car rang and I heard it counting. A gunshot stopped me. I did nothing but approach the sound and stop. The soldier pressed the gun upstairs as if he knew where to correct so I did my best just to protect Mike even if I sacrificed my life I will do it.
Little did I know what happened when I lost consciousness, all I knew was that the ground was shaking, the car was loud until it gradually weakened. That's the time he left
I didn't even see his last smiles when I was determined to get in the car and his reaction to the last ones I did just to get him out. Is he angry? Does he regret that he met me?
I have no regrets over everything that happened and I am happy that finally he gets there.
I stooped and embraced myself in the cold cell. I couldn't help but cry until my tears were gone. The morning sunrise symbolizes him because his eyes were clear. Our memories together remains in my heart like the colors he insisted but I never hope to see him again
My punishment is lifelong confinement, but my only mistake was I loved an intruder
(15 years later)
"Cath, you’re free now"
"Can you guys stop annoying me”
I'm already used by those words in jail. Once a year Aunt Trina visits me and I also have friends here. This is not difficult because even though the gesture and place are limited there is no difference in the world I live in, in colorless life. I live alone too.
"You're Cathy right?"
I immediately turned to the person who’s talking, and I was surprised to find out. The old President of the country
"Why are you here? "
"It's not good to hear that he sold you but in exchange of your release, is the rapid development of our world so come on and he's waiting for you outside" smiling at my point
"I don't understand" I said and obeyed
Suddenly the world stopped when he was on my sight. I saw him again after such a long time. I wiped my teary eyes and ran in to him
"I'm sorry for waiting you so long"
His voice became deeper. His physical body changed a lot but I know its him. The man that I am longing... For 15 years...to be in his arms, to hear his words. Longing for that moment we can be together again
"I miss you so much" I said while hugging him
Tears are flowing down in my shoulder. He was crying "It was too much of a pain when you leave me before my car finally flies. I still don't want to leave in those days but I don't want to waste your sacrifices. I tried to get back right away but I wish I was ready I would- "
"I can wait for you till my last breath Mike... thank you for coming back"
"I'm willing to do everything just to be with you Cath"
He was wearing a goggles. I asked him what’s that for and he answered "A night vision goggle, so that I can move and see all night"
I smiled "Can you wear it off? I want to see your face... before sunrise ”
"Wear this my love, you don't need to close your eyes... you don't need to hide from the light anymore"
I opened the small box that he gave. It was an eye protection from the light. He put the lenses in my eyes and we both waited for the sun to rise up
In that moment I saw how beautiful our world is. Everyone was outside their home. Wearing the same thing and looking and everywhere with their wide eyes
"Now tell me Cath, can you see my true color? "
I glanced at him. He is more handsome than I thought. I held his hands and looked at him from head to toe
"Your hair is brown... Like a woods "
"Your skin is white"
"Your eyes are blue... like the sky "
I cried "I can see your true colors"
He enlightened our innocent mind. He introduced different intervention in our world and he became part of our history
Two worlds apart
"The're many different kinds of colors in this world" he said
"I don't believe you! You’re just inventing it "
"It's up to you if you don't believe in me but that’s what I know"
"The leaves? "
"Green" he answered
"Woods?"
"Brown"
"How about the Sky? "
"Blue... but it's up to the weather"
"But the color of the sky will never change" I argued, rain or shine its color is still grey
"Maybe because your eyes are color blind"
I looked at him and I got really annoyed by his words. Then my mood suddenly change when I saw his face. He was smiling
"You're really good in pissing me off" I said
"I just wanted you to believe me"
He walks closer in front of me and we both hold each other hands. I slowly close my eyes when the sun rises up
"Can you see my true color?"
-
I am Cath
My hair is red
My skin is green
My eyes are white
I was born in a planet where everything is monochromatic black and white .I existed for 20 years and all I could see is grayscale color scheme
We are not afraid of light, but we are very sensitive to it.
I've tried it before. I tried to open my eyes in the period of time with which directly reaches the ground. But I also haven't opened it for a week. Headaches, Dry eyes and Swelling inside
Light is Painful
"Teacher, what’s the difference of these two" Amy asked, pointing the leaves with same shapes and texture
"You never know if you won’t touch and examine them"
Time, 10:00pm. In 24 hours, staying awake at night and sleeping during the day are part of our normal living. And I noticed the longer the day the shorter the night.
After teaching young people how to read and write I directly go to the garden to work again
"Cathy, be careful in the mud”
"For what Aunt Trina? Stains will not be visible in my dress "
"Though, it's still hard to wash"
When it gets dark, our eyes are active. We have an extraordinary night vision. We are free but we also have laws. Working, sleeping, eating and doing something else we want to. We see life as a short journey to get ready for the afterlife. The longest average life span in this world is 100 years old. No one in this world understands why such and in all studies we are weak in knowledge when it comes to science.
Once you learn to read, write and learn different things in the world you can choose the job you want. The reason is because life is short in our planet. Work is often focused on human physical ability. Development is also slow because the average person only acts at night
I never wish to have more in this world. I think I am contented with my life. I came home immediately after a full night to relax before sunrise but just opening the door had already given me a bright light
"AAAAaaahhhhhhhhh"
"AAAAaaahhhhhhhhh"
We both shouted. Where did the light came from? and who is this... He immediately pulled me in. He closed the door and covered my mouth
"Ssshhhhhhh"
I wanted to resist but the pain of the light still strikes me. I blocked my hand. I could feel that he suddenly turn off the thing he is holding. He let go of me before speaking
"What's wrong with this planet?"he asked" Why are you so scared of the light?"he added
"There's nothing wrong with this planet! Wait a minute, what kind of creature are you. You’re not one of us, are you an alien? "
"I should be the one to ask you that... I thought this morning no one was living on this planet but people came out at night"
"Of course! because we are human... we sleep too!"I said with disgust
"That's not my point-" he stopped suddenly someone’s knocking on the door "P-Please, let me hide here" he begged
I didn't know why I was doing this but I immediately went out and closed the door. I try to open my eyes to see who it is
"Cath? The sun is not shining yet. why do you find it difficult to open your eyes- "
“I’m okay, Aunt Trina"
"Be careful before you go to bed, lock every door and window carefully"
"And why?"I asked
"They saw an alien and it had a dangerous weapon"
"O-okay... t-thank you" *gulped*
I did nothing but to get inside and follow Aunt's order... but that alien is in my room! Shit
"Thank you" he said
I stopped
"What are you doing here in our planet ? Are you going to kill us all? "I try to open my eyes but I still have a hard effect on the light
"I'm not a Killer... I just can't see anything without the light" he said
"You're weird"
"No, you are!!! Everyone in this Planet "
"You're crazy"
"No, You- I guess I am" *silenced* "Because I came down here without any plan"
"so you’re really an Alien? Are you going to colonize us?"I asked
"You're a night person right? can't you see me? I'm just like you"
"It's all your fault! I can't even open my eyes because of that dangerous thing"
"You mean... this flashlight?"
"See? you also said It's a light! and you wanted to kill us"
"I said I'm not a killer... I'm sorry ok? I'm sorry... I don't know"
His cold and soft voice convinces me that he is not bad at all. He's just like me? I need to prove it. I tried to open my eyes even though it’s painful. I stood up and washed my face. I continued to open it slowly until its pain disappeared.
I went back to where he was. It sat as the hands rested on the table following its head that was also hanging and tilted. Is he sleeping?
I went beside him. The breeze suddenly brushed against my skin. I copied his position and stared at his face. Weird but he’s just like me
"Your hair is red"
"Your skin is green"
I touched his face while starring but fear build up in my chest when he caught my hand. He slowly opened his eyes looking directly towards me
"Your eyes are white" I continued and forced to get my hand
"So you can see me but not the same as I can see you" and he went back to sleep
-
The sun was shining but I had no intention of sleeping and letting this man do anything. I get my blindfold and even I’m sleepy I try to stay awake
"Wake up" I said as I heard his foot steps
"Yes! it's morning "
I shook his head as he said "so what's your plan?"
"Gonna get out of here. I just need my spaceship. Morning means all people here are sleeping right? why haven't you slept yet?"
I stood up and went in front of him. It retreated until his back hit the wall
"W-what are you doing" he asked
The reasons of her death
Everyone was shocked about the news
She intentionally killed herself by the act of hanging. It was actually a suicide case of Samantha Morgan. She’s my schoolmate since Elementary. I would say she’s just a simple person compared to others on television who have to go through time and time to hear the story. Even in school she’s not that popular, her life was not often talked about , it’s so strange. But now, she's dead and we will never see her face again. The case was quickly closed and as in the case of another suicide, Depression!
During our grade school days, I know her already. Sammy was so approachable and if you look at her, she always smiles. Honestly, she has this called "Angelic face" she also kindly treats others but despite her cheerful face we can't even say she's perfect
She never had a best friend, I see that because she is often not with me nor do I know if I only notice but she is often worried. She was only approached by Kim! it's worth your approach because it will bring out her beautiful smile and fountains inside to help you. The reason for her loss was not clear in my mind so I didn't even have an assistant I decided to know her deep reasons behind her death. I visit her social media account and sometimes I also visit her lolo dad where she lives.
'Twitter' a site for short updates they say, it often makes people’s diary they may be here to express their feelings or otherwise hear their enemies. It wasn't even trendy then and I actually don't have a twitter account until now but how do I know it? That’s because of my curiosity, and I found out Sam’s account was recently log in to her laptop.
"I'm too old for this stuffs, I can't even look at that bright screen anymore but that's what my granddaughter used to do" explains her lolo dad
A dummy account was opened on her twitter because you’ll not notice that it’s hers because it’s photos were different.
As I lay down from front to end, I found every detail of my questions
"I miss my Mom and Dad so much, I lost them when I was 8 years old in a car accident, hopefully they take me as well"
There was sadness in what I read that came to my mind the days when we introduced ourselves to the front of the class. She never mentioned that her parents were gone. So she was just lying every time she was proud of her parent's work.
"I work hard for this but I failed, I prepared for year in a competition that I was only defeated by a mistake"
She is certainly good at every subject especially in the field of math because Sammy was always the representative of our school. Maybe it’s one of her competitions.
"My best friend left me then I found out she has new bff”
Short statement but full of emotions, I know It looks like a childish act but can you still imagine that if you were alive you would always be left behind? It took me a long time before continuing
"I got F in my Science subject because someone put the answer key in my bag, I swear I didn't do it but damn no one believes in me"
That day it became clear to my mind again. The day I regretted several times because I was unable to defend her. I believe in her because this is the day I started to like her and I just went to every place she went to so I knew she would never do that. If you ask why I'm doing all this? yes because I like her
"He's really cute ^_^"
I smiled unconsciously. She seemed to have a lot of fun that day and I was happy for her because as much as I read it was just an emoji smiling. I would say that Sammy finally happy though it’s not me. As I continue this is some of the more serious statement I have read
"I will never give my damn body just for a grades"
"I disappoint my teacher for not winning the competition, I’m such a failure"
"He likes someone so Sam don’t expect anymore”
"I think I’m gonna lose my scholarship"
"Please don't give me hope, stop staring at me knowing that you already have gf "
"I tried really hard but I fall apart, tired of living. Thanks for all your comfort my Grandma and Grandpa"
"I can't pretend it doesn't hurt while seeing you with the other girl"
"Mom, Dad, I think I'm getting worse why is this happening to me? I feel so worthless"
"Please Grandma, Stay with us I can't handle it when you're gone"
"The battle that I never asked to fight because I knew I would lose, I hate my life... I'm tired"
"I love you but I can't express my feeling towards you and that won't happen"
"I'm Dying..."
**************
Every word that I read again and again came to my mind when her lolo dad hugged me. My tears were still dripping
"That child... didn't even pity his lol dad right? immediately followed my wife and left me "Grandpa showed me a warm smile even though it was obvious the next burst of tears symbolizing sadness and pain
"But I understand her, she always cry to her Grandma and I know she has a hard time accepting that her parents were dead" lolo dad continued
I hugged her Grandpa, then I kept crying. Especially and could not get rid of Sammy’s pinned tweet that I was trying to avoid. This is the post you will see right ahead no matter what date you put it. I read every post she had there and I started in the bottom but first I actually read it ahead. I do not regret to know all about you I regret the days when you were alive but I never had the strength to approach you. Will I save you Sammy? if only I had found out earlier? if I confessed too would you rather live? Those are just some of my questions while just staring at her picture

Pinned Tweet
"I Love you, Kyle"
**********
Yes, I'm Kyle
A mother's love is unconditional
I'm preparing the food in the table because my daughter Alexa is coming from a Cavite
"Mooooom I’m hommeee"
I ran to her after then embraced her
"Mom where’s my room? I’m kinda tired today I need to take a rest"
"Before you rest eat first" I eagerly stated
She smiled at me and then go directly to the kitchen
She lost her smile while seeing our dish
"Are sure this is our food?, It’s so gross!!!I don't want to eat it them, then she leave in front of me
I just look at the floor because I can’t afford to give her the food she wanted
The next day
I woke up because of the sunlight that was hit on my face
It's morning
I got up and prepare all the things this morning
I cooked egg and dried fish for our breakfast
I heard my daughter’s room opening
It smelled went in front of me and sit at the table
"This is so ridiculous, do you think I’m gonna eat those?" Her face looks annoyed
"Sorry Alexa I'll be back later" I said
It smelled like it was leaving in front of me
I packed bottles outside to sale at the junkshop
I came home happy because I had a Jollimac for her
"Swetie"
"What” her response that seems like she’s not in the mood
"I bought a Jollimac for you to eat"
I said as I smiled to her
“Mom, my debut is nearly approaching and I want a big celebration in that day”
I can see excitement and happiness on her face as she said she wants a big celebration.
I couldn't say a word because I didn't know what to say
She was looking for it but it was hard for me to do nothing for it
"O-okay swetie, mom will make a way to make that happen”
I was devastated because I know I can’t afford to buy expensive stuffs she mentioned, but then while walking I bumped in to a guy
"Sorry " I said
I saw sadness in its eyes as if it were a big problem
"Ahm excuse me sir do you have a problem?” I asked him
"My son is going to have a surgery today, we need a donor " he replied
"What else he need in the surgery” I ask
"He needs a heart, but we will pay the donor for 1 million" he said
I thought maybe I could donate my heart for the money to make my daughter happy on her debut
"I can be his donor sir" I said
"I just want my daughter’s debut will be perfect as she wish for it, she wanted a big celebration and I know I don’t have the capability to spend much money that’s why I’m taking your offer and I hope you can set her party as big as she wished" I added
"Thank you so much to your kindness, I really appreciate your courage and love to your child, I promise I will do what you requested to me"
we went to the hospital to get the surgery done
I'm sorry Alexa, I can’t make it to your 18th birthday but don’t worry this will be your happiest birthday, I wish you a happy birthday
Author's PoV
This is the day where Alexa's debut and she was so excited because she invited all her friends and bragging about it
But the girl was restless because she had never seen her mother since she told her the term '' I’m now leaving”
She almost went to the whole party for finding her mother,an old man approached her. This is the man her mother met
"Excuse me sir have you seen this woman? She’s my mom" in conjunction with her mother's picture
"I’m sorry miss but your mom didn't make it, she give her heart to my son” the man said before giving the girl the letter her mother wrote before leaving
Gradually the girl's tears trickled down because of the letter she read, regretting what had happened but she could not return her mother's life
End~~~
Appreciate, love and respect our parents while they are still alive
Little do I know
"Babe? How’s your day? Did anyone bothered you?Have you eaten? I’m not there to take care of you in case you get sick. Sorry, but I love you take care always of your self”
When I opened my account, that immediately came to me. I could not believe the simple word from him. He was so sweet and that was probably why I fell for him.
He's Paul my boyfriend. We reached 2 years already since the day we meet.No vm's, no face reveal and all of our identity was hidden.
I was smiling while replying to his message, I hope he’s happy too.
"Hey, what face is that?You look like you're taking drugs when you’re smiling. But be careful Elle, he may be playing with you.."I was a little lost because of what she said. I know it's just a joke but I know it is flawed with truth.
"Yeah I know, don’t worry I know he will not play on me”
"I don’t have the intention to destroy your relationship, but Elle, I’m worried to you. You know that we’re like siblings already that’s why I care too much”
Clarisse stood up from the couch and went downstairs
But before she get going she leave and advice….
"Elle,I just want to remind you that don’t give your all to him. It’s too early to express your love to him. You only met him in social media, you don’t even know his background and identity”
Those words came to my mind over and over again
"You're drunk again?!!We don’t even have much food to eat here at home anymore, then here you are drunk. I’m so tired of it Jose!!!"
"If you're tired, then leave!!I I really don’t care..get out of my way Pasing for me to sleep!!Stop nagging at me I’m sick of it already.."
"What! So that’s how it is today?I'm really regret you're the one I married!"
It's a mess...
They always argue, so it’s normal to me now nothing new about it and I kinda used to it.
That's when considering the situation here at home. I was the only child but I seemed to be overwhelmed by the hardships. Yes, we were just poor and I couldn’t deny that.
Dad has no job, morning until night he is very intoxicated while mom do laundry to our neighbors. I try to work it’s not what my mom wants...she wants me finish my studies first
I cried in secret while they’re still arguing and I could do nothing. I didn't even let the tears flow into my eyes and let myself sleep. I was used to it.

Feb 21- 10:30 am
This is the most awaited day of my life, because I was going to meet Paul now. I felt so excited but I was a little nervous because he might not like me as he see my appearance. But I forced myself to stabilize myself.
“Babe? What’s the color of your dress?I'm here inside the restaurant waiting for you..I'm with my sister. Can’t wait to see you, I love yoy”
That's what I read when I opened my phone. I just came to our meeting place and I couldn't help but sweat because of nervous. I wrapped my hand for a moment and slowly stepped into the restaurant.
"What’s the color of your shirt babe?"I message him and turn his eyesight out first to avoid contact for a moment.
'I'm wearing a blue polo babe and black jeans'
I immediately nodded and seeing the same attire, I immediately went in their direction. They were both not facing in my direction that’s why I hesitated but I walk along to them and if I’m not mistaken he was with his sister.
"A-ahm..excuse me?Are you--- "my lips are soaked that I can see how handsome he is
Very handsome...OMG!
I held my lip and retreated.
"Y-yes miss?What do you need?" obviously his from rich family I wondered.
"Hey miss!"
I was so miserable and immediately I was able to realize what I was doing..
"A-ahm.Are you P-paul?” I asked . He looked at me seriously so I was very shy.
"Are you P-paul---"
"No."I don't know but I suddenly got hurt by what he said.
"O-o-kay" I stuttered and immediately turned away. I was still shocked of what happened and suddenly my tears shed
I quickly picked up my cellphone and e texted that Paul would have texted me earlier.
“LET’S BREAK UP, YOU’RE SO UGLY! SHAME ON YOU!”
HAHAHA REALLY I’M THAT UGLY?I thought he loved me?I know in myself that I’m ugly but…. I thought his different
Whhhyy?
It’s too painful my heart would explode anytime, I can’t believe he disown me. I thought he really loves me
I'm letting you go
In a relationship not every time you love each other, you are still happy but sometimes there are times situations came to the point that one of you is tired already. And you will be left behind.
I really love him that much even though I can purely sense that his love for me is slowly lost, I'm still fighting for our relationship even though I’m alone. Even though it was exhausting, yes it’s very hard to win his love back , the pain is there but I really love him I couldn't afford to lose him.
"Let’s stop this relationship now, I cannot feel my love to you. And I think it’s not working anymore even how many times I tried but nothing change." The moment he said those words, I was in tears staring at his face.
I don't want to lose him. I love this man more than my life.
"Clark, no please don't say that I know we can bring it back."I replied rubbing his cheek with my two palms.
I think I'll die if he truly loses in my life. I can't live without him. No I can't.
"Cath, we tried again and again but I cannot see the changes, just accept the fact that we’re not going back to the old one. Cath I'm so tired." He explained that makes my chest tight.
"Me too but I’m still here, fighting for our relationship."My answer.
"Cath it’s over, this relationship is done. So let's give up." He said and makes me devastated.
"We reached 5 years, but this is just so easy for you? Why? I cried a lot. I can't accept the fact but... I don't know what I'm going to do to save this relationship.
"No, but I can do that. As much as I can. So please Bella..." He begged.
Why is it so hard that I feel like I have to accept in myself that Clark and I will be no longer couple. The person I dream of with until my last breath.
“But , I can’t" I was overwhelmed and in pain.
"We have to stop this, let's end up Cath."I see his pain too but it hurts me more because I love him more than myself
"No, please I'm begging you."I was in tears begging for a chance.
"Cath do you hear yourself? We are no longer happy with our relationship, we pretend to love each other and we insist that we can but not. It’s over, I’m done." He raised his voice that cause me to be taken for granted.
Sick of what he says.
"Yes you are right because 'I can see and feel in our relationship that it’s not working anymore but you know that I love you .., I was slowly reaping and I sighed deeply so that I could lose my breath in tears and weep again.
"You? Do you still love me?"I still asked even though I knew the answer.
"Not anymore."Sh*t sick to hear that very sick. It kills me with pain.
"Are in love with someone?"I ask it hurts.
"No"
“I still love you ever since.Only you”. I said staring into his eyes.
"I know... but the thing is I don’t love you anymore". A poisonous word causes me to die had been spit out
I knew he wouldn’t hurt me but now he hurts me so much and it hurts a lot.
"Why?! What have I done in our relationship? It's been good and I'm doing my role well. I gave you everything but now you’re giving me all this shits?. I'm always there for you, I didn’t missed something but why Clark? What else I lack?"before he answered his tears shed.
"I know all that but I don't know why but this is all I can say I'm happy to meet you and I'm lucky that I had you in my life.. You’re perfect a girlfriend. But Cath I'm not happy with you anymore. I don't love you anymore." He said.
He continued speaking. While I was crying in his arms. Indicating that it might be, that we might be fine that it might have returned his former love for me.
"You did nothing, it’s not you it’s me and I’m sorry. I know it hurts for you but we have to accept that you and I are done. Hope you find the perfect person for you." He added
Maybe I need to decide that we should free ourselves that we should never force things that are no longer possible.
"I love you so much but I can't force you anymore and thank you for all the moments we made, I’ll keep them in my heart and I hope you do the same”. I said, and embraced our last hug.
"Me too Cath". He whispered and kissed my forehead.
End~
Stuck with you
So I meet this guy who has his name start with letter D
He's so annoying and always pissed me off
"Get lost you're so f*cking annoying... What's wrong with you? I shout but he just smiled
"Arggghhhh... I really hate you so much "I yelled because I'm really mad at him. He has nothing to do with me except to annoy me every time we see each other.
As I saw how his eyes became teary I felt guilt so I comforted him even though its so awkward
"Am I too harsh?"I said but I didn't receive any response so I hug him since this is the best thing to comfort him
"Sorry Megan I was just trying to cheer you up" he said that makes my heart melt
"Does that the only way to cheer me up?"I asked but he just nod and I sigh
"No need to cheer me up Dan, I can cheer up my self in my own way" I said to him
"I'm not blind Meg, I know the pain you feel "
"How can you say so? "
"Do you feel my pain? "he raise his eyebrows if he say so but he just stares at me
"Have you ever been bullied? "I shouted at him
"Don't come" I cried but it just continued until he embraced me
"It's okay to cry Meg, I'm here as your shoulder to lean on, I’m always ready to listen to your problems" he smiled
"I'm suffering because of pain Dan and I hate it"
"I always get jealous to happy families, with people who are not complete family but perfect and happy, while me? I do have a whole family yet why I feel like we're broken?"
"Why my dad is so bad? Why is he like that? With all those fathers right her why him? But when my dad is mocked, I always hate that people who mocked him. him right? It’s so confusing”
"He's still your father Meg whatever you do and no matter how much you hate him he's still your dad. You ask yourself why your still fighting back to those people mocking him? It’s because you love your dad " Dan softly adviced, but I look at him angrily
"You don't understand me because you're not in my shoe" my direct repsonse to him, as I see the sadness in his eyes too
"God gave us problems as a challenge but he will make sure that we can handle it" he sthat,and it makes me silent
After that we became friends and I met also his cousin Chezka
"You know what Meg I adore Dan for being so brave" she said while looking to Dan
"Why ?"I said
"Did you know that Dan doesn't have a whole family and is maltreated by his grandmother, he knows all the house chores even if that’s the role of a woman, but he is Dan always okay and happy "Chezka said and continues to share Dan’s life.After hearing his background I can feel how my heart is skipped.
"DAN is Inlove with you Megan and that's his secret" shocked was written in my face and leave me
After hearing that shockin' news, Dan courted me everyday.To tell you honestly, he's a sweet guy he always send me a letter everyday and flower that I know every girls want. He courted me til' it reach 2 months but I always rejected him.
"He’s still the one right?" he said calmly but I did not respond to him
"Silent means yes, and I can’t force you to love me back, I'm just your best friend while he had your heart. I won't give up and I know how to wait Meg, I'll wait until the day comes and you will love me”
After that rejections he became distant and cold, I even heard gossips that he had a relationship with the girl I hated the most. We became strangers for the whole year until he left, Dan is gone.
It's been 2 years since Dan is gone and now here I am scrolling on Instagram and got surprised when Dan's name pop on my imessage
; Hi my Meg
; How are you?
; I miss you
; Is he still the one?
; I'll wait Meg always
remember that
But instead answering his reply I just turn off the wifi and phone. He was so annoying that time but I refused to entertain him.
It's been 5 years since he stopped annoying me. I just realized that I love him and I know I'm too late since he's now a father.
Even though he's now a father I'm still holding on his word that he will wait.
I thought he would wait but it just his word, he left me by his words
See you again
Being with someone that accepts the real you is surely a blessing, it’s very fortunate to be surrounded having that kind of people, I confidently know because I actually have one, she is always on my side whenever I need someone to talk to, she makes me happy every time we hang up and I can't let anyone to take her from me"Carl!" Pat shouted out from our gate, Her voice was too loud that’s why I peeked out the window
"What do you want?" I shouted because she was a bit far away
"Come here, faster" she replied
"Coming" I don’t know why I always follows her order, maybe because she's a girl and I'm a boy..
She is Pat my girl best friend, she’s the one I am talking earlier that I don't want to lose,
I went down and I opened the gate and approached her
"What’s the matter?"I asked her
“Let’s go somewhere please" she said
"We already visited majority of places in this town" I complained
She pouted her lips and she looks cute
"Please!!! Let’s just go to our favorite place"she insisted and of course, I couldn't really neglect this woman so I nodded,
She pulled me into the river which we always go, when we get there she immediately sat on the grass and I did the same thing as well
"Do you have a problem?"I ask her because I can see in her eyes the sadness,
"Nothing" she answered while smiling
"I just wanna go here for a while" she continued
I know, I feel like she has a problem, but I think don’t want to talk about it.
“okay” I answered
"Did you remember our first meet " reminding me while smiling
"Yes I was crying at that time right?" I said and laughed
She also laughed "yes you cried because the you lost your toy"
"That annoying water took my toy" at the same time I pointed the river before us
"Then I was just laughing at you" she added
"You're so bad that time you know what" I said and laughed
"Did you also remember when we were in a fight at school?"I ask "yes and you’re so pathetic and annoying that time" she said and we laugh as I say "And basically that was your fault in the first place", I don't know but someone is saying to me enjoy this moment with her, and I dunno why, we kept on our composure.
***
When I woke up, a text came from Pat’s mom, "Carl, Pat is in the hospital "she said and I was very surprised and immediately run to the hospital, I almost run out of oxygen, before I came in, Pat’s mom talked to me first, she said Pat has a cancer, and we don't know when it will last, it really broke me to be honest, I cried for what aunt said, Pat hide about her illness to me...
I entered the room where my eyes were red, I caught her staring out the window, when she felt that I had arrived she had confronted me and smiled "yo!" She greeted, I went in and sat in the chair next to her bed,"why didn’t you tell me?" I ask her while looking on the floor "sorry I don't want you to worry about my situation" she respond “ You’re so unfair" I said it and cried, I can feel that she hugged me...
***
I decided to watch her that night so I stayed in the hospital with her parents, I was in the middle of my sleep suddenly I wake up in somewhere, it's a garden and I saw Pat in front of me standing and smiling "Pat?"I asked "Carl thank you for always there for me, I really appreciate it, sorry because I didn't tell you right away.. I’m hoping as I leave, you will continue your life.. The dreams that we built I hope you fulfill it...Pat”I was shocked of what she says "thanks for being with me, sorry because I’m leaving now" in her remarks on those words "Pat wait."... Pat "I cried but she was suddenly disappeared, I woke up in the morning when aunt was still asleep I looked at Pat and held her hand, but it’s too cold already, I woke up her up and yes I forced her to wake up at the same time her parents woke up, we woke her up but nothing.. we immediately called the doctor they tried to revive Pat but nothing changed... What we only did that time was to mourn..
11:11 becareful what you wish for
I'm Sam Bradford the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bradford
They always have a high expectations in me. So every time I got two wrong answers they all act like a perfect parents nor a human.
“Two mistakes didn’t you study?"Dad shouted at the same time slap on me
The f*ck is this. It was just a two mistakes.
“We send you in private school to gain some knowledge and for you to learn. Didn't you stock your lessons in your brain?” he shouted
"Dad! It was just a two mistakes”
“It should be perfect” his strong response
“Camille. You see your cousin right? He doesn't have a headache on your aunt. If he makes a mistake? Only one. But you? Two? Then the next time around you’re still doing the same habbit”Mom said
If you guys think that having you in my life is a precious thing, then you’re wrong at all.
When it comes to academics and I made just a little bit of mistakes it feels like I lost my dignity that’s because of the pressure they did to me
I know they are both business minded people and they are blinded with money and wealth.
Well we can actually identify their attitudes base on how they treat me.
“You know what your cousin Eli—" mommy shouted as I answered
“Sorry mom, sorry dad. You raised me well but I grew up being a failure”
Failure? HAHAH I'm not a failure f*ck that.
I turned my back and left them but my cheek was in pain from dad’s slap .
Another being a creepy kind of failure, when I broke up with Lance.
A slap,
Second slap,
Third slap.
“Why did you broke up with Rafael’s son? Sam don't you think. They are our business partners ”
“Dad! Our relationship and our business are out of here”
And a strong slap came from mommy “You are really disrespecting us, you’re already in good hands so what do you want? You will get married with a low class person?”
“That would be better than having a life like this. A low class person that would accept me, for who I am and what I am. A person that would appreciate my efforts and won’t judge my small mistakes.
They are out of the limit already. This is not the family I wanted.
“If only I knew you were like that? I wish I had just taken you or tomorrow you would just die ”said by mom I was looking at her directly
“Hopefully!”Dad shouted
Word as if it were a sting in my heart.
Just like before I turn to them...
I was in my room crying and crying so bad.
What’s problem with my family?
Or what's wrong with me
I was just sobbing while remembering on the words they were saying to me.
And suddenly my phone rang because of my alarm clock I immediately got on my phone in the pocket of my uniform skirt.
11:10 PM
I always do believe in 11:11 wishes, so every time that comes I will really wished
And what I always ask is to find the happiness in this world. Now let me change it.
I'll wish what my parents want
10 seconds before the appointed time arrives.
10,

11: 11 PM
It's time to make a wish so I did.
I burst into tears while saying the words;
“I wish one of the most demand of my parents will be fulfilled” my last words before I closed my eyes in pain
When morning came I found my mom and dad shouting my name in my room.
“Saaaaam”
“Baby... I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I don't want you to die baby— mommy didn't mean it ”
“Sam wake up”
“Saaaaaam—” mom and dad burst into tears
One morning I found myself being pale and cold.
My heart is surrendered...
My weak heart, can't do anything to save myself from every pain that I suffered.
Their wished came as what I've wished last night.
Now I can have my peace... And my first wish anyway. My happiness.
I can now take my rest in God's arms.
When love is gone
SHARING A SONG TO SOMEONE IS
GOOD ...
“Love what’s your favorite song again?” Jake my boyfriend for almost four years now asked me..
“Heey. You forgot my favorite song again?” I irritatedly replied.
“Love don’t be mad” he calmly said and hugged me.
“I hate you”
“Vienne... Come on I'll sing it for you ”he replied sweetly which made me looked at him with excitement.
“Really?”
“Yes love” he said
“But I changed my mind already about that favorite song. I have something new now - ” I replied.
“I knew it. You always play it when you sleep ” he said wearing his handsome smile
“Love is gone isn’t it?”
“Yes that's it”
“Okay. Lay on my lap ”I immediately obeyed what he said and caressed my hair and then he started singing.
¶Don’t go tonight
Stay here one more time
Remind me what it's like¶
SHARING A SONG IS GOOD NOT UNTIL THAT SOMEONE TURNS OUT TO A PERSON YOU HATED NOW.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of a text message on Jake's cellphone.
I was about to woke him up and said his mom texted.
But what I looked at was a text from his first love or his first ex.
“Yes, Jake... Thank you really see you tonight baby. I love you”
A message which made me looked at him with anger and confusion.
“When have you cheated on me?” I whispered.
¶AND LET'S FALL IN LOVE ONE TIME
I NEED YOU NOW BY MY SIDE¶
“Will you leave me again because the first woman you made a promised to marry has returned?” I whispered again and looked at the cellphone I am holding.
“You left me before as your bestfriend in the cafeteria because of her, I wish you won’t leave me again as your girl now” I continued and wipe the tears falling on my cheeks.
¶IT TEARS ME UP WHEN YOU TURN ME DOWN
I'M BEGGING PLEASE,
JUST STICK AROUND¶
Earlier in the afternoon Jake said he will go out with his friends to play basketball.
He didn’t know that I knew where he would go.
I agreed to him and also followed him.
And I found myself looking at them far away.
They are smiling from ear to ear.
They are so happy.
Jake was so happy as which made my heart aching.
When they are about to share a kiss.
I found myself in front of them both
“Jake” I took his attention
They dared to look at me as I barely knelt in front of him
“Vienne what are you doing?” he asked.
“Jake please not this time. Jake please don't do this to me. Don't leave me Jake...”I begged and many were looking at me but I just kept on begging.
"I want you here with me Jake even though—"
“My love for you was gone” he interrupted me.
“I know—”
then they both walk out in front of me holding their hands together
¶I'M SORRY, DON'T LEAVE ME,
I WANT YOU HERE
I KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS GONE¶
I will never forget that day I almost lost my breath.
My weakest part, I can't deal with tomorrow without him the person who caused all my begging.
¶I CAN'T BREATHE, I'M SO WEAK, I KNOW THIS ISN'T EASY
DON'T TELL ME THAT YOUR LOVE IS GONE
THAT YOUR LOVE IS GONE¶
15 YEARS LATER
¶I'm sorry, don't leave me, I want you here with me
I know that your love is gone¶
“Jessica! Stop singing” I shouted
¶I can't breath, I’m so weak, I know this is not easy
Don't tell me that your love is gone
That your love is gone¶
“Jessica I said stop!” I said again while removing the earphones on her ears.
“Baby I said stop singing” I calmly said.
“Mom why? I thought it was your favorite song. I read it from the notes I threw yesterday.” he replied and looked at me with a serious face.
“No!”
“So you’re lying?”
“That was before” I replied and held his face
“That song reminds me of your stupid father. That's why I hate that song now ” I added.
“I’m sorry” he said
I kissed him in the forehead and left him for a while.
Then his phone rung.
“Kyle what’s your favorite song?”
Jessica his best friend asked him then he looked at me.
“Ahh—”
“Remember what I said” I responded,
Then I continued walking to the kitchen but I could still hear Kyle’s response.
“But mom said I shouldn’t share it to others. I should keep it to myself. My favorite song is like a special thing that I must keep and treasure forever if I don't want it to turn to as my hated one in the end.”
“I see... You might not listen to that song if I leave you my friend ”
"disgusting"
then their phone call ended
“Protect what you love the most my son so you wouldn't end up hating those ones” I whispered.
Never associate a song or doings you dearly love to listen and to do with a person.
You might end up loosing both.
PEOPLE ARE TEMPORARY YOU MIGHT NEVER LISTEN TO THOSE KIND OF SONGS AND FELT THOSE THINGS THE SAME AGAIN.
~ END
The place where is love(Finale)
Ace didn't expect him to get married now.
Just like what he asked, a Garden Wedding he hoped for, all with a white theme because he wanted Callie's both of them to stay clean.
Grandma Isay was also there, because she was the one who gave him the courage to speak up about what he felt.
Callie's colleagues at work were also there, and her bestfriend who Idolized me.
His smile widened when he saw Callie wearing a full white wedding dress.
A Filipino music started playing.
¶Sabi nila, balang araw, darating
Ang iyong tanging hinihiling
At noong dumating ang aking panalangin
Ay hindi na maikubli
Ang pag-asang nahanap ko sa 'yong mga mata
At ang takot kong sakali mang ika'y mawawala
At ngayon, nandiyan ka na
'Di mapaliwanag ang nadarama
Handa ako sa walang hanggan
'Di paaasahin, 'di ka sasaktan
Mula noon hanggang ngayon
Ikaw at ako¶
He never expected a woman that can make his heart beat fast, perhaps if Callie and him didn't meet.
The truth will not come out either.
He quickly wiped the tears falling from his eyes, he couldn’t resist it and bite his lips.
¶At sa wakas ay nahanap ko na rin
Ang aking tanging hinihiling
Pangako sa 'yo na ika'y uunahin
At hindi naitatanggi
Ang tadhanang nahanap ko sa 'yong pagmamahal
Ang dudulot sa pag-ibig natin na magtatagal¶
Callie also smiled as she approached Ace, Grandma Isay was right, Ace was the man she would not let go of no matter what, even though she knew it was too hard for both of them on everything that happened..
and finally she stood in front of him, the man she loved.
"Callie." Ace said.
Her smile widened.
"Now I know there is nothing who would let go my hands."
"Promise, you will not be alone anymore. I will be your handmaid. In happiness or in sorrowful days. " Ace said as he get Callie’s hands.
¶At ngayon, nandiyan ka na
'Di mapaliwanag ang nadarama
Handa ako sa walang hanggan
'Di paaasahin, 'di ka sasaktan
Mula noon hanggang ngayon
Ikaw at ako
At ngayon, nandito na
Palaging hahawakan iyong mga kamay
'Di ka na mag-iisa
Sa hirap at ginhawa ay iibigin ka
Mula noon hanggang ngayon
Mula ngayon hanggang dulo
Ikaw at ako¶
And now, it's here
They both came to the altar, they both smiled and now they are sure that their promise to each other is eternal romance.
When Ace looked at the priest, he suddenly smiled.
He finally found the right girl and looked at Callie.
That night's girl, and the woman who helped him in Paris.
The woman he watched crying Camille's funeral day.
Is the woman who will be with him for life.
"I Love you, Callie Yoon." He whispered and smiled again at the Priest.
"The best proof of love is trust.”
Well, if you don't trust each other you don't really love.
And this is a lesson, that no matter what you have to be honest with the person you love, because the time will come when you will prove your loyalty to one another.
The End.
Thank you for patiently reading.🥰
The place where is love(XXXIV)
Everything were settled and Callie received a lot of projects. However, she really missed the guy she loved and it’s already two months yet Asher didn’t show himself.
She heard that Asher Brooks quit being an actor.
"What? Asher quit?!." She exclaimed.
Callie stared at Tacy.
"For what reason?" She asked.
Tacy just shook her head,
"I don’t know, but one thing for sure he’s always thinking of you." Tacy replied.
"If he thinks of me, he should. . . Come to me?" She said in a sad voice, she really missed ace.
There’s no night where she stop thinking of him.
Sometimes she likes to go to the artists for an interview, hoping to see Asher Brooks.
"I’m Sorry, for what I did. I thought, I'll be happy. But when I saw him, I felt that he really loved you. He never fell in love to any woman, even to me. Only you." Tacy said while staring at Callie.
"This is the first time I see him become like this not prioritizing his career because of a girl and it’s you Callie." Tacy added.
Callie couldn’t reply on what Tacy just said.
"By the way, I need to go. Good luck to you, I hope you two can talk. " Tacy got up and turned away to leave Callie.
Callie just shook her head, then it begun raining.
"Gosh! Why rain now when I don’t have my umbrella?” she whispered, she covered her head with her hands and started running.
When she got on the road she stopped to wait for a taxi, then she saw a bench there.
Suddenly she smiled as she remembered the night she was crying, and on the bench she expressed all her disappointment.
Not only that, she also remembered the man giving her a handkerchief that night.
She shook her head and looked again at the road, she noticed the yellow umbrella and as it lifted she could barely see who was holding it.
For a moment she was stunned,
"Ace?" She whispered and would have stepped forward.
"Stop! I'm going there!" Ace yelled and walked toward Callie..
He quickly steps in to get closer to Callie, his tears were slowly forming on his eyes which at any moment it will fall.
"Callie."
"Ace." Callie couldn’t resist her tears it begun falling.
"Why are you hiding again?"
He came near to her and used umbrella to cover Callie.
"I didn't hide, never ever, because every day that passed I just watched you, protecting you.” he rubbed her face and wiped the tears.
"I waited for you, I waited for you to show up so we can talk about everything." Callie touched Ace's cheeks.
"Did you know, it's too painful for me, because I can't see you. I don't know if I can, live without you." She cried non stop.
Asher's face approached to kiss Callie's lip, and it also left the umbrella.
They both closed their eyes, Callie reacts to the kiss.
She didn’t hesitate, because she only wanted the man she loved to be her on her side.
Asher stopped and looked at Callie's face again.
"Honestly, I really wanted to hug you whenever I see you." He said and pulled Callie to hug.
Callie laughed, and retaliated for a hug.
"You really missed me right?"
Asher laughed.
"Very much, at least now you won't be mad at me. I know, you don't want a celebrity, so I retired early. I want a normal life, and be with you for a lifetime."
"Achuuuu!"
Asher stopped hugging Callie and sought the umbrella and covered it to her,
"Oh no!, you might get sick?" He said.
She just laughed and shook her head.
"The truth is, I still found it funny. I remember this place, here I cried the night I couldn't accept, then there was a man who gave me a handkerchief. But, if that didn't happen, I wouldn't have come to Paris. And I couldn’t meet you." She said.
Asher smiled.
"The truth is, that night you were crying. I'm the guy, giving you a handkerchief. But you have a bad temper." He scratched his head.
Callie couldn't believe it.
"Really?"
She laughed and hugs Ace's arm.
"Hmm, you didn't show up for a long time, you should just cook me a nice dinner today." She said childishly longing for love.
"Yes, I'll have an inlove recipe." Asher laughed.
They were both in the living room, they were on the couch.
Callie still doesn't take her eyes off to Ace,
"Am I dreaming now?"
Asher took Callie's hand and held to his face.
"This is real, and I'll never leave you, I won't hide anymore."
Callie sighed and smiled.
"I love you, I thought, you're forever not going to show up. Camille's case is over, the real culprit was caught, but you still haven't showed up."
Asher smiled at Callie, he rubbed the palm on her cheek.
"I'm just looking for the right time, I want to because I'm going to face you as Ace Miles, I don't want to be Asher Brooks." He sighed and leaned against Callie.
"I was long scared of Camille's issue, I didn't hide but I chose to keep quiet, because I had done nothing for her."
"Ssshhhh, you are innocent. Zed was caught, I'm sure he'll pay for what he did to my sister."And he rubbed Ace's back.
"Thank you, at last I can sleep well too." He whispered and looked up to see Callie.
"And I'm happy to be with you again."
"Me too, I finally found you." Callie replied.
Ace kissed Callie’s lips again.
The place where is love(XXXIII)
There were many reporters in the studio, where Zed was arrested by authorities. The Cyber Crime Investigator Team has also been a part of their evidence to prove that Asher Brooks has nothing to do with Camille Yoon's case, five years ago.
Callie was in a deep breath when a police called her, but she didn't appear first. In fact she went home first and went to her old sisters room. She didn't throw anything away, except for Asher Brooks' posters, merch and souvenirs.
She glanced at hee cabinet and saw her diary for a long time. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she read it for a moment before breaking.
(Camille's POV)
I was happy in the days that passed in my life, the most special person I ever loved came. But I knew I was young, and sure big sister would just scold me, I met Zed. He was Asher Brooks' manager, at first noticing that this was what I wanted. I'm Asher's number one avid fan, but honestly an ordinary man I like. And I saw that with Zed.
Everyone started the fans club I was in, my sister was not that tight so she allowed me to do so. I do what I want, as long as I don't forget my education. And then I met Zed, he was a gentleman in a first sight. He was too caring to us, and a Asher as well. I'm glad, I excel in school. I didn't realize, as it lasted, that my feelings were different.
One time, he invited me to dinner. Lying at my age, I was afraid Zed might avoid me. He confessed his feeling and so did I. I kept it all to big sis, I knew she would get angry and Zed and I had a great time. Until I exceed the limit, I love him more than he do.
But I was hurt when I found out the truth, he was married and had a child. His wife is still pregnant. It breaks my heart, but he promises he won't let me down. Months passed I felt different, I told myself it maybe too much stress that cause in my study. But no, I was scared and nervous that my monthly menstruation didn't visit me.
And in the end, I found out I was pregnant. I'm happy, because the father is the man I love even though I know it's wrong. But contrary to Zed, because instead of supporting me he was angry. He wanted to get rid of my womb, the offspring we built. I thought he loved me, but not until we had a dispute.
He was filled with anger at me, until I thought of speaking. But he was just more angry. So I was forced to talk to Asher, I was thrilled when he agreed to meet me. The problem is, Asher didn't come. . .
I could feel that someone carrying me, I forced to stray and I saw Asher, he had blood flaws. I looked up to him, I could see his eyes full of worry and tears. The man I admired throughout my life and helped with my education. That has the heart to helped me, "Forgive me. "that's just my word to Asher, I became blind to Zed's love. And I know Zed is behind it all. But I was scared, I was scared because they will harm my sister as well
So when I got to the Hospital, I had no choice but to point out the big man who was being supportive to me. I point him even though he was innocent. I cried, sighing until I got home.
Prefer to confine and not talk to my sister Callie, sure when I tell her. She will lose her trust and be hurt, I am sure she will be disappointed because she has been so confident. But we are all blinded by love, blinded and I am a fool to choose a man to love.
I wrote it all first, because here I am going to lose my life, I want to end it because I can't do nothing just to defend Asher. Asher who has been a part of my life, and has been kind to me. Didn't know everything what happened to me. Because the man I saw the night I was abused, was none other than Zed. . .
Callie's tears fell, she couldn't believe it. Why didn't she get it right then, her cellphone rang again so she answered it. She hears the other line, "All right, I'm coming." She replied, and the cellphone was off. She does not know if she has the strength now to deal with the real culprit of all.
"Ryker!"
Turning to Lei while calling, he even signaled to her. Hhe was shaken and turned to the other side as he saw a woman approaching.
"Hello, I'm Callie Yoon. . . I'm here to talk to the suspect " she knew.
Ryker stared her face, he had already seen it. This is right the woman in the frame. The woman referred to by Asher Brooks. "This way ma'am."He pointed out
"Hey, where are you going?"Lei chased, but Ryker ignored him. "Hmm, he really wants to always be the only star." He whispered
Ryker joins Callie, in an office where the suspect Zed is placed. They're not allowed to go to the interrogation room because only the Investigation Officer is suppose to be there .
"Thank you."Callie replied and open the door, when she get inside.
Upon entering she saw a man sitting, she only kept quiet. She approached and sat in his opposite seat.
Zed looks so good, she sees Callie staring at her.
"You know Camille, right?"
Zed sighed and nodded.
"Why, why did you do that?"She began to shed tears," You know she loves you, she gave you everything. But, here's what you say?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just scared that my family knows everything." He started to shed tears too. "But I loved Camille, I loved her. "
Callie shook her head, "That was not love, you are selfish. You harmed her, and then you passed it to others. Five years, which I hated differently, five years I was blinded."
"Callie, I know what I did doesn't deserve your forgiveness. But one thing I can tell is the truth to you, Asher only found one woman who was happy and hurt him. It was you Callie, just you."He has a serious response to this.
Her tears fell again, because ever since she knew the truth, Asher never showed up. She has no news from him. And it was almost a month later. She stood up and turned away, now justifying the death of her sister.
After she was out of that room, she was still shocked to find that the man who had served him was still there. "You waited for me."
Ryker smiled slightly. "I told him, he'll come to you. But it looks like he's not ready yet. "
"What do you mean?"Callie asked.
"Your boyfriend."Ryker replied again and smiled at the same time and stepped away from her.
Callie just smiled.
"Hopefully, let him show up." she whispered.
The place where is love(XXXII)
Asher went to his house, he has to deal with the mysterious incident of Camille and who is behind it.
"Mr. Brooks, they're here."
He turned around and saw four men wearing formal attires. "Good evening, I'm sorry I called you a little late." He said. "I'm Asher Brooks."
"I thought you were really joking in the office Ryan. "Lei whispered and immediately approached him. "Nice to meet you Mr. Brooks, I'm Team Leader Lei we are the NPAC."
"If its handsome, Lei would definitely entertain them."Ryker whispered
Bong and Ryan laughed at their Commander's whisper.
Lei heard it so she turned around. "Ahhm, let me introduce Commander Kevin Hendrix, he'll fix your computer."
Ryker approached and also held hands with Ace.
"I hope you can gather more information there. Truth is this computer was in the condo, but I took it home. I'm a little worried, if you guys will go there."Asher explained.
Ryker and Lei looked at each other.
"May I know what is really the problem here?"Ryker asked.
"I received an email five years ago. I'm that kind of person who keeps them at least. But it looks like someone intrudes my account and deleted those emails I received." He replied
"Don't worry, Kevin is here." Lei interrupted and even hugged Ryker.
Ryker shook his head to Lei's actions.
Asher smiled, "It looks like you're all close."
"We're like siblings."Ryker responded and smiled. "So, can I see the PC?"He asked again.
"Sure, it's in my room."And Asher first stepped in to guide them.
Ryker would have been next when Lei pulled back. "Get up, I have a promise to Steph."
"Yeah, you're really scared of Steph."He joked and followed Asher.
Callie was just looking on her report. She cannot focused on her job, because her mind was focused on Ace. "Even though I think of the sin you have committed, why am I still thinking of the happy memories we made ." Sshe whispered, looking at the journal she did. Even photos of Ace with her when they were in the Paris. "Grandma said, I will look for a man who will not let go of me. But where are you, why don't you show up to explain to me? Where are you, I want to listen and understand you."She whispered and tears fell again.
Asher just watched what Kevin was doing on his computer, he knew little about such things. "May I ask?"
"Sure." Ryker replied, he was at the IP address to find out if his computer was hacked or someone had opened it, since it's already five years ago.
"My concern is far from what you guys doing."Asher replied.
As soon as Ryker stopped and turned on the actor he noticed that his aura was sad and was just looking at the computer. So he looked at the PC again and continued to do so. "About love right?”
Asher smiled slightly, “ there's someone I can't afford to lose in my life."
"If you don't want her to lose, go to her and tell the true content of your heart. You are a man, you must be the one who will find a way."Ryker replied and found the IP address, he moved it to his device and hard disk, he also made a copy of it.
"But I want my name to be clean first. So I call you, that's where everything depends. For her to know that I am innocent."Asher replied.
"I got a copy."He replied Ryker and signaled to approach Asher.
Asher approached and sat next to it. "That's it?"
"Your system is no longer hacked, but your email has been opened elsewhere. Using a mobile phone. Here's the number."And he pointed.
Asher wondered on the registered number so he took his cellphone and re-compared the IP address mobile number. "Zed?"
"You know him?"Ryker asked.
Asher rested deeply.
“I recovered the past emails you deleted. But, I can't put him on your PC anymore... What happens is that I can re-send it all."Ryker explained.
"Mr. Kevin, can you just send it to your acount. For investigation that would be my evidence."
"Sure, if you trust us?"Ryker asked and looked at Asher.
"I trust you, I just want to read those deleted emails."He asked.
"Okay, wait. "Ryker rearranged, and put in a template, now he's open inbox.
Camille:
Asher help me, I don't like what Mr. Zed doing to me. My sister didn't know right now that I'm pregnant.
Asher stopped reading that, "Camille was pregnant?"
"Can I ask?"
He looks at Kevin. "About this?"He saw the opposite nod. "That person who emailed me was five years dead. I'm the one supporting her studies since she's my number one fan, she says because she has something personal to confess to... I didn't get there, because Zed's meeting was dumping me for my movie."He stopped for a moment and rested deeply. "Someone sent me a photo of the girl's condition, that was gang rape. And that made me go but what happened was a frame up. I was not trapped, because there was no evidence. But what I'm wondering is that I had an email with Camille back then."
Ryker rubbed the finger on his lip. "If I enable my imagination, that Camille has a relationship with that Zed, maybe Zed is jealous too. Maybe because of that you have more priority over the child, and you may suddenly lose your career. He would lose sight of it, so he used Camille and made fun of it. Then, you are the one he despises. He really sends you to the crime scene, so that you will be caught in the act. You're not questionable, because there are no finger prints and you call the police."
"Yes, I called. A lawyer came to me when I was in the office. And said I would just sign the paperwork. For not to bother me anymore."Asher said and stood up.
"You said you found an email to the victim, but you didn't even send her?"Ryker asked again.
"Yes. We didn't talk anymore, until she committed suicide."Asher immediately replied.
" I recovered the sent mails. Wait."He once again spread to the server, and fixed the IP addresses, too long since it was a long time ago. But he got in the way, just like Kevin was studying. So he froze the inbox of the current year, so he can bug and appear the date and year of the passing five years. "Bingo!"
Asher looked up and saw the sent emails.
Asher:
Go and get suicide, I don't need you. You're just ruining my career!
Die now Camille Yoon!
"I didn't say that!"Asher shook his head and his tears fell, for five years. Zed lied to him. And Zed did it all, just to make Camille believe, even Callie.
"It's a sent email, but I know you don't want to read it."Ryker said
"Keep it all away, for now I'll deal with him first. For he could not escape the crime he committed."And Asher looked at Kevin. "Thank you very much."Hand on hand.
Ryker got up and smiled, receiving his palm. "No problem, just remember what I said. Face him, and talk. I know you can do everything. I'll take care of it, I have a copy of the evidence. He has nothing to do with it, because of the IP address and mobile number."
"Thank you very much."Kevin's comrades came in exactly so he turned to the door.
"You're done?"Lei asked.
"Yes, Team leader!"Ryker answered.
Lei approached. "Mr. Brooks, can I have a request? I just need an autograph."And his little notebook and ballpen came out.
"Sure."Asher responded and took that same signature.
"You may also want to take a picture?"
"Steph will be happy."Lei's language and Ryker gave the cellphone. "Picture us first."
Ryker shook his head and knocked on the cellphone. "Say cheez!"And a click.
"Wow, that's nice."
"Come on."Ryker's voice to Lei.
"Thank you very much. Commander Kevin."Asher's claim again.
Ryker just turned around and smiled. "We will take care of it, take care of it. I'm sure, she will forgive you."Listen smile and turn back.
"You really know how to give an advice"Lei whispered.
Ryker just shook his head again and signaled the two waiting.
"It's over.."Ryan was with Bong and they both stood up.
The four of them came out from the house of Asher Brooks.
And one by one ride in the car.
"Steph will be really happy."Lei whispered.
"I forgot to ask for an authograph fo Zoe, but I prefer to keep quiet."Ryker's language.
"Why?"Lei asked
"He was thinking deeply, I was paying attention to him. You can see in that person, that even if he lost his career it would be okay for him but not the woman he loves."He replied
"Wow sir Kevin, you're really an expert when it comes to things like that" Ryan said
"Thus... Seriously, seriously!"Bong's tease.
"You two stopped."Lei rebuked and turned to Ryker, his attention was serious. "But let's solve it, at least there is an evidence. Maybe, he's going to the girl that makes him happy.."
Ryker just laughed and looked back at his house. Until their car is in operation.
Asher just looked out the window, well and the long mysterious answer to Camille's case has been answered. He grabbed the cellphone and watched it. "Callie."He whispered.
The place where is love(XXXI)
"Looks like, you're really in trouble” Zed said, he noticed that Asher’s drinking alone. He came and sat down. "I know, that hurts. And congratulations, because you really inlove."
Asher shook his head and landed the glass with brandy flesh, "What do you mean"
"They say, once you are didn't hurt that much. You don't really love that person, as I see in your situation right now. You really love her." Zed added. "Come back to showbiz first, that would be better. Tacy's waiting for you there.".
"She's the one who told Callie right?"
Zed stopped and face Ace, "Yeah, she told me too when she finished talking to Callie. "
"Where are you going?" Asher asked and looked at Zed.
Zed just smiled. "I'll just fix something"
"You look busy today, what are you gonna fix by the way? He asked again
"It's a personal problem." Zed smiled again
Asher just nodded. "Okay” He responded and leaned back.
"Okay! See yah." He step in, but stop again. " He stood up and walk but then he stop for a while. “ Asher, come to think of it there are lots of projects waiting for you." He added and turned back to go to the door.
When Asher heard that he stood up. "Personal problem?"He whispered when he remembered what Zed had said.
"It's a personal problem, between Camille and the management that holds you back. That's all he told me. So please, sign this."
"I really don't want to think that but why does it reminds me of that term?"Asher whispered and looked at the door where Zed had come out. He suddenly stood up, he thought for a moment, but he only thought one so he immediately entered the room.
He immediately sat down at his computer desk and opened the email, he didn't delete the mails of Camille. He opened it but...."Wait, where is it. As far as I know I secured her mails here." He whispered, remembering the email it was saying.
Dear Asher,
Thank you for the things you've done to me but I have something to tell you. That's why I also want to meet you, because it's really important it's a personal problem and I want to say it personally.
"Right, she emailed me two days before the incident. But where is that e-mail?” He stood up, and re-imagined. He has to make way, this is the only evidence that he has no fault. He grabbed the cellphone, and called someone.
"Ms. Yoon, Why don't we see your boyfriend anymore?"
Callie stopped walking and smiled, "He's kinda busy these days . ." She replied
"I see... In fact, we envy you because you two are sweet." They seemed to have a thrill in their voices.
"Yeah, I agree his very handsome . . . He looks like Asher Brooks." Someone added
“Coz her boyfriend is really Asher Brooks"
The two women stopped, and Callie turned around. She raised her eyebrows when she saw the woman again who told her who her boyfriend really was.
Tacy came up smiling, "By the way, I forgot to introduce to you last time. I'm Tacy Carriedo, Asher Brooks leading lady."
Callie just looked at it, "No thanks, I don't have time for that. . . You don't need to introduce, because I'm not interested."Callie turned away. "Lets go girls." And step on.
"Callie Yoon, you really think Asher will take you seriously?! You are wrong!"Tacy shouted.
Callie just smiled and went straight for a walk, she didn't have anything to say. It was obvious to Tacy that it was chasing Asher.
"Ms. Yoon, is it true"
"Yes Ms. Yoon? Is that true?" A followed question also from one of her teammates.
Callie paused and turned to them, accompanying her with a smile. "She's right, Asher Brooks is my boyfriend but we're already done. We both have different life and one thing is I'm not into actors." She replied and turned away to continue the walk.
When the two looked up, they had just chose to be silent and followed Callie.
The place where is love (XXX)
Asher struggled as he walked, he doesn't care if someone knew him, he still wants to explain it about what really happened from the past but he knew she's not ready to listen yet. He looks like walking in the moonlight. His mind was void , and he couldn't help but cry. He knew it hurt so much, it was also his fault for hiding it so long to Callie.
Callie just stared at the flower that Ace had given to her, she hide it to ease the pain. She deeply breathed, "I'm a fool " she almost hugged her knees and cry. Every time her tears fell down, she always remembered their precious bonding from Paris until now.
She remembered the they slept together, when Ace cooked for her, delivering and fetching her from work. And most of all, their first kiss. For a moment she lifted her face and took Camille's frame. "Camille, I'm sorry. . . I didn't realize, that I loved the man who caused you to die.” She remembered how painful it is the day her sister died, but today is more painful to her. "I have to let him go, even though I know it hurts. . Even though he made me happy, I had to avoid him. It's the decision, that I should make Camille, even though I was stunned and forced to forget him." She caressed the picture of her sister and embraced it at the same time in bed.
The surroundings is already quiet, there's almost no one on the road. Only the lights on the pole were shedding light on the rest of the dark area, and Asher was standing there. He just stared at Callie's house, he sighed. "I just started getting to know the girl for me, but I don't want her to get hurt like this. "at the same time he shed in tears..
He will never forget the first night he slept next to her, that was the night he watched Callie fell asleep. That night he was filled with nervous, because he wanted to say everything. He wanted to tell her and to know what would Callie’s reaction. He met Callie who was honest about everything, and he knew she doesn't like unfaithful people. But he chose to hide the past, because he was afraid of its hatred. "But now, he hates me. I promise, I'll still do the things I did to you because I love you so much, Callie Yoon." he whispered.
I finally found someone
That knocks me off my feet
I finally found one
That makes me feel complete
It started over coffee
We stated out as friends
It's funny how from simple things
The best things begin
This time is different
And it's all because of you
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it thought
My favorite line was
"Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say
To take my breath away
Callie stopped when she heard the music on her earphone. She smiled, their story began in Paris. When she saw it in line while abducted by a child, they were both at the Police station because they both robbed. As soon as she wiped her tears, she spent almost a week and didn't saw Ace. But she's still in pain.
As she stepped in, she stopped while looking at the place where they often rest. The first day she fixed his necktie.
This is it
Oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
Her tears were bursting again, "It's annoying, why did I hear the music here, I don't want to remember things again." She whispered and let the wind go once again, but she stopped and turned around. She didn't know why she turned around. "What am I expecting to? She shook her head and finally tap her ID before entering and heading to the elevator.
Did I keep you waiting?
I did not mind
I apologize, baby that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
You know I love your hair
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear
It's not too tight?
You're exceptional
I can't wait for the rest of my life
This is it
Oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
And whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
When Callie got into the Elevator Asher just came out of his hiding place, "Are you still waiting for me?" He whispered a question, and he insisted on suppressing emotions even though he wanted to hug Callie. "I'll just wait, like I always do." And leaned back on the wall.
The place where is love(XXIX)
"Hi!"
Callie was stuck, she didn't know much about the face but she seemed to have seen it on t.v.
"Can we talk?" Tacy smiled together
"Uhmmm." She's obviously confuse but she didn't mind it since it's her breaktime.
Tacy walks closer to her, "We really need to talk. And it's all about your boyfriend." She added.
Callie took a moment, and she watched her again. And she came up to an idea that this girl is an actress. But why does she wanted to talk to her and about Ace
Tacy took off her sunglasses, and landed it on the table they had sit on. She smirk to Callie, she already knows the name of this woman.
"I don't really know your intention but how did you know my boyfriend?" Callie said
"Don't you know?" Tacy asked.
Callie shook her head.
"You mean, you don't have any idea why we're here?"
"Can you just be direct to your words? I don't want mischievous, besides I still have a job." Callie replied.
She smiled a bit and showed the cellphone with picture and news. "Asher Brooks' blind date."
"What?"She couldn't understand what it was saying, but she was looking at the picture, wondering this was the place where Ace and her dated. "Wait." She took the cellphone and scroll down, until she read the editorial stated along with the pictures. "What do you mean by this?" She asked.
"You didn't still get it right? Asher Brooks the most popular actor. You don't know him, do you?
"Asher? Asher Brooks." She said, feeling her chest tight coz she couldn't breathe. "He's Asher Brooks." So when they were in Paris, everyone was looking at Ace. It's always been said that Asher looks good. That’s why he has a car, also every time she mentions her sister's name and the name of that artist Ace seemed hurt.
"He was on vacation and he used his real name."
She looks at Tacy. "So what's your motive telling me all this stuff?"
"Simple, just stay away from him.. I'm sure he'll just break your heart, as he did to others that went through his life." She stopped and took her glasses and drank the juice she had ordered.
Callie laughed slightly. "Or maybe you're just jealous. . . Because Asher likes me rather than you. That's why you did this, so that I could stay away from him, right?"
"Bravo, you're smart too. . " Tacy replied and landed the glass at once to Callie. "Aren't you wondering, he didn't even introduce to you his true self?, he would probably hide his true personality, so you wouldn't hate him because everyone and even you, knew what happened five years ago."
"Do you mean-"
"Yes, he might just want to love you as much as he did to your sister." She took her glasses and stood up. "Well, he's the only one knows it. So, why don't you ask him? For you to find out the truth as well."
She grabbed her bag and left
"Uhmmm, Callie..."
She stopped but she didn't turn around. "Don't expect too much to Asher, and also you may forget that he is the man you hate."
Callie stopped herself and go straight out of the restaurant.
Tacy just laughed.
She ask permission to the office and went straight home, when she went home Callie shed her tears, she still couldn't believe it. The man she cared for was the man she hated the most, she opened her laptop. She searched about Asher Brooks, this is the first time she stalk Asher.
She breathed and nearly burst into tears again, seeing her pictures. Tacy was right, the man she was with in Paris and the man who had kept his love was none other than Asher Brooks.
"Callie..."
She stopped when she heard Ace's voice, she stood up but she did not look.
"I came from your office, but they said you went home already.” He noticed that Callie was so quiet. "Callie, is there a problem?"
"Is that true. . ." She faced Ace while crying," Is it true that you are Asher Brooks?"
As soon as Asher stopped and looked at the laptop, he saw pictures of her there. He was almost glued and he could see tears in Callie's eyes. "Callie."
"Answer, me. . . Are you, Asher Brooks?"
"Yes, I'm Asher Brooks." He replied and tried to approach Callie, he wanted to take her hand and hold on but she took them away. . . "Callie, I'm sorry."
She forced to smile and look at the man she was facing. "Five years, five years the wound you gave me. And here you are!!! I'm so clueless.” She just cried.
"Let me explain."
"Explain? Explain what?”
"When, you got drunk and talk about your sister I didn't know. . . Little did I know, you were her sister."Asher's tears have also been shed
"Because you meant to forget my sister, so did my surname as well. You don't remember. Is that so, you lied to me!"
"Callie, no!" he held her hand but a strong slap came over to his face, looking at Callie again.
"actually that slap is not enough, I wanted to do it before, but you just hid you're a coward”
"Callie, I'm also a victim here. Just please believe me"
"Really, if you are innocent. Then why did you suddenly disappeared? Are you scared, because your career might break and will lost it?"She smiled like an idiot this time, but she kept shedding her tears. "You gave me a lot pain!" She screamed and moaned again in tears.
"Callie, the truth is they frame me up."
“I'm so fool, I love you right away without knowing your real identity"
Asher came closer, his tears were still shedding and he briefly laid her hand on Callie's face to wipe her tears. "Everything I said to you when we were in Paris are real. You are the only woman I love. You are the only first and last." He took a deep breath and walked away from Callie. "I know you're still confused, I'll give you more time to think." He walked away heading outside.
Callie was left behind, now she seems to feel weak. She could feel her knees fully exposed so she sat down... "Why, why do I get hurt like this?" She moaned again and she rolled her palms over her face.
The place where is love (XXVIII)
"It feels like we're abroad" Callie laughed as they're about to enter Manila Ocean Park.
"Why?" Ace asked.
"Look at this atlantic ice it's fun seeing them they look amazing. And she held Ace’s hand.
"Yeah you’re right” he replied
Callie pulled him over ,whatever written on the program list they would go and took pictures.
They went to the Oceanarium, and they enjoyed seeing the different type of fish they see.
They also went to Birds prey of kingdom, on the penguin talk show which they couldn't help but laugh at the penguin's speech and its funny jokes.
They also enter the World of Creepy Crawlies, here as they see different types of snakes and scary venomous animals.
There are spiders, reptiles, and scorpions in the dark and in different colors.
"They're cute." Callie said with an amazing tonal voice
"Come on, let's go straight. You will enjoy the lights there."
Ace grabbed her hand and pulled it off, they entered a dark place. But he was amazed at the variety of colors of lights that are moving in a fragile glass with water.
"Jellies Dancing Sea Fairies. They're cute right?” Asher said.
"It's so cute.” And she was forced to come and see them closer.
"They look having fun, are they really dancing?”
"Maybe."
He responded and watched Callie while busy teasing the jellyfish while dancing.
"They're cute, can we take one at home?" And look at Ace
Asher just laughed at her question.
"Just kidding ..."Callie replied.
Asher approached, and took Callie's hand,
"let's find a jelly fish.” He whispered.
She laughed at what he said.
"It's just a joke tho, but if you insist...can we?” she smirk
They also came to the super toy collection, as if they were kids who just enjoyed the whole day.
And of course the Fish Spa, Callie was about to laugh hard when the little fish came to her feet.
She didn't know if she would smile or did she really like what the fish were doing on her feet.
Even Asher did not survive, and was laughed out loud by the tickle on his feet.
He couldn't help it and really, they both enjoyed it.
When they finished they chose to go to Callie's favorite.
The trails to Antarctica.
"I pretty sure the coldness of this place is extreme ." She whispered.
“Do you want to go to Alaska?” Asher asked.
"Yeah definitely coz I really want to feel the snow, play ice... however that would be impossible to happen" she suddenly changed her tonal voice
"Then what makes it impossible?” Asher asked and hugged Callie.
"Don't worry I'll be setting that place as our honeymoon venue " he whispered.
She let go of Ace's hug but there was a smile on her lips, of course Ace was the man she dreamed of so she would say yes for it.
"It's about time let's go ahead on the Symphony Evening Show, there would be fireworks” He said and held Callie's hand again.
"You go ahead, I'll be going to the restroom first”
"Okay, I'll just wait for there." Ace replied
Callie smiled while heading to the restroom.
As soon as Asher's cellphone rang, he saw Tacy calling him, he didn't answer the phone and put it back in the pocket.
In a matter of seconds his cellphone rang again and he saw Zed again.
He has no choice but to answer the call, he has something to do with it so he should also ask if it has been fixed.
Asher: Hello, Zed?
Zed: Hello, Asher?
It was a bit noisy around so he walked away slightly,
Asher: Hello, Zed?
Zed: Asher, Tacy is here---
Asher: Hello, what are you saying?
Tacy stole the cellphone to Zed.
Tacy: Hello, Asher. We need to talk right now
Asher: Tacy? What are we going to talk about?
Tacy: there's something we should talk. Also about your girlfriend, I know who is she. The question is does she know you?
Asher: Can you just mind your own business?
He turns off his phone and turned around, he noticed Callie but she seemed looking for him too.
"Callie!"
He shouted, but there were a lot of people around because of the program's last show.
Callie turned around, she saw Ace and smile
Asher just stared at Callie, he can now feel his chest was about to explode because of its heart beats, and now he's planning to tell Callie everything.
He didn't want his relationship with her will done.
So he quickly came up to it and touched the face with both cheeks at the same time kissing Callie’s lips
Callie was shock about what happened coz she realize Ace never kissed her on the lips.
And this was the first time, she also heard one-on-one shots of fireworks. So she closed her eyes and felt Ace's kiss
Asher also shrugged and stared at her girlfriend,
"Callie, I love you so much."
She was shocked when she heard Ace say so she smiled.
"I love you too."
"Listen, I have something to tell you. Hope you can hear me."
"You look so serious, can you save it next time? Let's just enjoy the night for now . Look at the beauty of fireworks." She said
"Callie."
"Ace, let's enjoy the night first....whatever it is I know it can wait”
And she just smiled at the fireworks.
Asher just sighed, but he didn't take Callie's hand anymore. She's right, they enjoyed today so he shouldn't ruin the night for both of them.
The place where is love(XXVII)
"I agree, who is that woman?"
Callie just listen to what her colleagues are talking about, she tried to sneak out with their excitement.
“What's that?, may I see?”
" oh!, I'm so sorry for that miss Yoon "
Callie smiled at her work mate, in fact she was in a bit high position but of course, she still wanted to get along with them. "Looks like, you have something in there"
"Uhmm it's actually Asher Brooks, the well-known actor. It looks like he has seen her one true love."
"Yes, and that's the hot topic today because it came from the paparazzi who take these pictures."
She just nodded, in fact she didn't really care about Asher. Also, she has erased in her memory the character of that Asher, but the man is still very famous and continues to hear his name.
"Do you want to see the pictures miss Yoon?”
"No, thank you... I have to go out too, maybe my boyfriend is now waiting for me outside.” She said and smile, she left the building and wait until Ace will come
"Bro, look at Ms. Yoon's bag it looks like the bag that was found on Asher's date."
"Really! Wait let me see" the guy look to Callie's direction and compared it to the picture. "You're right, but maybe it was just a coincident since there are lot of bags like that here."
“ Yeah absolutely you're right"
Callie is reached outside the building, but she noticed the surroundings is already dark "I think it's going to rain." She whispered and made no mistake because the heavy rain was pouring in, “Oh my God, I left my umbrella at home.”As she returned to the entrance she noticed a white umbrella, a person who's with it walks closer to her. When the umbrella slightly lifted, she saw who was there. "Ace" she sighed and smiled.
"Am I late?"
He shook his head. "No, actually you have the great timing. Thank goodness you have an umbrella”
"I always have an umbrella with me, I remembered my Grandma. And besides I don't want to get sick again." He replied," Let's go!"
"Can we visit first a coffee shop before we go home, let's grab coffee first. I kind of want to refresh my brain, I've done so much this day I need that as refresher." She smiled while hugging Ace's arm,
Asher smiled and walked into the nearest coffee shop.
Asher was quiet while watching Callie drinking the hot coffee and eating the cupcakes. He couldn't help but think hard, now he was willing to say it but his little dread was still there. How could it be when Callie found out the truth, and she might not understand it. Suddenly his chest hurt because he wanted to cry.
"Ace?" Callie immediately dropped her cup on the table and held his hand, paying attention to it as if it were crying. "Is there a problem?"
He forced to smile and swing his head "Nothing, It’s just my job"
"Did Asher scolded you? It looks like your boss is busy in his lovelife, there are paparazzi who take some pictures about he's dating "
"Did you see those photos?” He suddenly ask
"Uhmm, no. . . I have no plans for such things that involves him. Until this day he is still famous, as if he had forgotten his great sin."
"Can we just skip things about him, and besides he didn't scold me. I was just tired tho."
"Then why did you fetch me instead of resting"
He smiled at Callie and slightly wiped her palm. "Callie, can you do me a favor?”
"Sure, may I know first what is it all about?” Callie asked.
"Can I stay in your house, I just want to sleep beside you. Don't worry, I have no intention of doing something.. All I want is to be the woman I love."
Callie stared at Ace and smiled at the same time she nod. "I know that you're good person and I don’t have the thoughts of you doing something bad to me .Of course, you can spend a whole night with me. Since tomorrow is my rest day."
"I’m so sorry for my room it’s a little bit small"
“It's okay it looks nice for me, but I have to change first “ He responded and came to bed, sitting first on the side.
"Are you sure you don't want to eat anymore?"
Asher just shook his head.
Callie sat down and lay down
She looked at Callie, and saw that she was smiling so he lay down too.
"Actually, it's only the first time I have sleep with someone in bed. Since when I was a kid, I just had my bed alone.". He said and looked at the ceiling. "I didn't ask you this, do you have a brother?"
"No. I don't have.” he replied while staring at Callie
"How melancholic it is, being alone is not okay, even though I do have a sibling but still I lost her. Perhaps if she's still alive I'm pretty sure she'll like you."
"I hope so." He sighed and still staring at Callie,"Callie, what present do you want to receive?"
She laughed at Ace's question. "Gifts are for kids, but. . . Of course that gift has been fulfilled for me." She said and look at Ace
"What is it?"
"To meet the person who will not let go of me. And now, he's here in my bed lying down, and we're going to sleep together."
He laugh and approaching Callie slightly, he held her hand tightly. "I love you Callie." And he kiss on Callie's forehead.
"I love you too.” And she also retaliated with a kiss on Ace's cheek.
Callie was so upset, she noticed that Ace was no longer by her side that she immediately got up. She hurried out of the room and went down, exactly meeting her with the strange smell coming from her kitchen. She went to the kitchen and saw Ace busy cooking, suddenly she smiled in no time, she also noticed he was wearing an apron.
When Asher finished cooking the breakfast for Callie he immediately turned to put the cooks on the table, but he was surprised seeing Callie smiling at him. "Good morning!" He said.
"Wow, it looks like I'll be eating a lot today” And approach Ace. "I didn't know there you talent at cooking"
"Somehow, come on let's have breakfast."
"Wait, I'll just wash my face first" at the same time she covered her face, remembering that she had just risen up and gone down because of the thought that Ace had left him.
"Oh, why are you hiding your face?"And he carry Callie.
"Ace! Hey!"
Asher also laughed, specially Callie wanted to come down but he didn't release her body until they got to the sofa. They both lie down and didn't lost the laugh on their lips.
"I really feel my stomach will hurt. The air will overpowering me with laughter." She stood up. "Just wait, wait for me at the table first.” Ace pulled her back so he lowered his chest.
Asher just smiled and wiped Callie's hair covering her face. "You don't have to worry about your face perhaps you don't have a morning glory." He joke around and smiled.
"After this, let's go. For our second date” And he hug Callie as well.
Callie just laughed and felt Ace hug.
