“Where have you been?” I immediately asked Zygo after getting ourselves to his hotel’s dining area. We are currently at his private part of the area, facing each other while separated with a rounded marble table.
Zygo stared at me with a smile forming on his lips. By his reaction, I already knew what was on his mind at this instant. “Why? Did you miss me?” he asked with a grin on his face. I was right, and he never changed.
I just raised my left brow. I was about to speak out the words that I used to do, but something was playing inside my mind. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with it since we are already friends.
I flashed a smirk. “Am I not allowed to miss you?” I almost burst into laughter when I saw how his expression changed. I know that he has feelings for me, but honestly, I can’t pay it back to him on how he looked at me. “Is my words enough to f
I was currently packing my things because tomorrow is when we will travel out of the City. Alchy, Zygo, Jay, and Aki will also be with us. We plan to stay there for a week, and the place that we will be waiting for is already settled by my father’s former colleague.I can’t help being excited just by thinking that we will visit my father’s rest place; my heart is already hyperventilating. I let out a deep sigh and continued packing my things.“Maybe, this stuffs are enough for a week,” I mumbled to myself after a couple of minutes of packing my things. I let out a deep sigh and turned my gaze to the side when I heard an engine. Because of curiosity, I stood up from sitting on the bed and immediately took myself to the terrace.I quickly peeked outside and saw a black Lamborghini who had just parked in front of our house. I was confused for a couple of seconds, thinking who might
“Good morning, Mom and Aki.” I greeted my mother, who had just arrived in the living room with Aki. I immediately glanced at Jay, “Get the things to the car, Jay.” I said, and he nodded, then started taking the things out. “How’s your sleep, mom?” I asked as I brought my eyes back to my mother.She sat on the sofa. “I slept well, sweetheart. Thinking about today excites me, so I tried my best to have a good rest so that I won’t be exhausted on the trip.” my mother sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. She’s been waiting for the day to start. I smiled at her because I feel the same way too.When Jay finished carrying the things to the car, my mother instructed the maids again. After that, we immediately take ourselves outside. “Where’s Aki?” my mother said as Jay started the engine.“Oh, right,” Jay said.
“How have you been?” my mother asked Dielo while we were sitting in front of the table, having dinner. “You did not even think about visiting me,” she added, and I could feel the sadness in her voice. I don’t know, but I think they are close to each other in the past and even now.“I’m sorry for that, Andrea. I couldn’t go back to the City because of what happened six years ago. I need to recover from the bomb because I got traumatized when Galeo died in front of me. The explosion was too loud and made me lose my mind for a while. I just got myself back, and the first thing I did was go back to the City and then meet Gandhara. I want to see you, but I do not know where is your home.” after Uncle Dielo’s long litany, he eats while staring directly into my mother’s eyes.The five of us remained silent while eating. I was beside my mother while Aki and Jay were
“Good morning, Mom and Aki.” I greeted them when they woke up since I got up first.“Good morning, Miss,” Aki replied while rubbing her eyes.“Good morning too, sweetheart.” my mother mumbled and immediately took herself out of bed. I smiled when she walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheeks. “Did you sleep well?” I nodded then she glanced at Aki. “How about you, Aki?”“Yes, Mrs. Alejandro. I had a good sleep. Thank you for asking.” Aki said, then smiled. I was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the door.“Breakfast is ready.” I heard Jay say behind the door. “Just come downstairs.” after he said those words, we heard footsteps walking away from our room. I immediately looked at my wristwatch, and it was already eight in the morning.
< Four Years Later >“Mimi!” I immediately stopped what I was doing, took off the mask without hesitation, and turned around. A little girl ran in my direction and hugged my waist when she reached me. “I miss you!” she said while giggling.It was Tanya, Tara’s daughter.I let out a deep sigh and then removed the gloves. “What are you doing here, little one?” I asked as I lowered down my body to level her height. “Mimi is doing dirty work; wouldn’t you mind if you caught that dirt?” she immediately shrugged.“No! I hate dirty, but if I can’t hug you because of that, then I don’t mind getting myself a speck of dirt.” she hissed. How cute! She’s too young to know these kinds of things. I just laughed and then carried her in my arms as I stood.“Just kid
“Thief! Thief!” the male police officer was sprinting before me who was running away from him. He was blowing into his whistle countless times that already made him lost his breath, trying to break off the gap between us but then, I didn’t give a damn and just grins while rushing out from his sight.“If you want to seize this beauteous thief then race with me and don’t be like a sluggish turtle!” Ishouted and then speed up without removing the grin on my lips. It was then.While running I was, meeting a lot of people on the road and holding a sling bag that I didn’t know what the contents were but I felt like I had caught a big catch! If you’re wondering why there are no people stopping me while someone is chasing me and it’s one of the government employee, well, this is how it is on Gale street.What I was doing was safe and it can’t put
“Are you sure that we can hit a jackpot here, Chris?” Tara asked Chris who was sitting in the driver’s seat and Clark with hands on the steering wheel, “There’s a lot of people inside this hotel and today was a VIP event! How did you get a ticket to fill the entrance for us?” she added. Both of us are seating in the backseat.I was also waiting for Chris to answer since I think about on asking him but Tara already did for me. The car we are riding was already parked in front of this huge hotel. I can’t see it’s name because it maybe was placed on the top part.“Someone offered me a free VIP tickets,” Chris confidently said and looked at us from the back, “So I did not hesitate and accept his offer!” he exclaimed. My brows knitted while looking at him.“Someone? Are you sure that we are safe if we do the stealing inside this hotel? T
“Welcome home, Young Miss.”“Where’s mother?”“She’s in the backyard, talking with her lawyer. What would you like to eat for dinner, Young Miss?”“Just anything. I will excuse myself,” the maid nodded, and then, I march myself taking the path to the backyard. When I got there, I saw my mother sitting on an item of garden furniture while confronting a man in his twenty’s. Probably a young lawyer that my mother hired for her estate planning. My mother seems to forge ahead on everything.“Hi, mom.”I greeted, making her face turned in my direction. When I approached her, I immediately kiss her on the cheek. She was wearing a black long sleeve tucked into her belted white jeans. Totally for crisp shirting.“Oh, sweetheart. What brings you here?”“
