[Christmas]
I woke up Duke wasn't beside me. He didn't come home that's why it is just three of us in the dinner last night. The phone is on the top of my pillow waiting for his reply. I still did not get any from him since yesterday. I'm worried. I'm starting to overthink and I'm starting to freak out because Duke isn't like this. This is the first time he didn't come home without telling me the reason. I heaved a sigh and check all the messages I sent to him. I already tried to call him but he isn't answering my calls.
"Where are you Duke?" I asked in the air, looking at the beige ceiling.
As much as I don't want to think any negative of his actions but I can't help it because this is not right. I trust him by he is the only one giving me reason to doubt him. I closed my eyes to calm my mind but I suddenly remembered what happened last night.
"Your husband might be busy that's why he didn't make it here. He

I still don't have no reply from him and I didn't text him again or call him because I already done it many times."Take care, Miss Christmas," said of the maid as she closed back the gate."Thanks," I only said and looked at my watch. It's already 5:30 p.m. and I have to walk a little to find a cab to ride."Christmas."As I heard that familiar voice at my back, I slowly turn to see if it's him. "What are you doing here?" I asked in my forehead knotted, seeing Carlos sitting at the hood of his car while his arms in cross."Going to give you a ride," he answered casually."I don't need your ride. I'm using a cab," I refused and about to walk out when he talk."About what happened before, I'm sorry if I scared you," he

[Christmas] It's been one week since I found out what really are the tablets I am always taking at the same time the vitamins I took when I am pregnant. It isn't an antidepressant and a vitamins but a damn fucking abortion pills and medicine that stopping me to get pregnant. I fisted my hand in anger on how could Duke gave this to me that time? He is worst than a criminal because he killed an innocent child–our child! All my life I thought I really miscarried her but it was his fault. His fucking damn fault! I also goes to the house of my doctor that day to confirm if she really gave the vitamins to me and the antidepressant and I just found out she did not. That fucking asshole!

[Christmas] My forehead knotted when I woke up in unfamiliar room. I circled my eyes around the place and I don't remember how I got here. The place was slightly filled with darkness and I only had a lampshade and a patio light coming from the veranda outside that giving me lights to see. I slowly sit down in the bed trying to remember what just happened.“Thank you so much for accompanying me here, Christmas.”“Anytime, Auntie.”“I hope you can forgive me.”“Forgive you on what?”“For this.”As everything flashes back to me, my eyes got widened and quickly get off the bed. “No, no, no! This isn't real. He didn't took me!” I shouted silently, grasping my hands on my hair in frustration. I goes to the door and about to open it but it was lock from the outside. “Carlos! Open the door! I know you were there!” I shouted trying to open the

I texted her too but she didn't reply that made me feel damn. I noticed that she is acting different lately that starting to freak me out. She isn't like this. Why all of a sudden? In frustration I drive fast my car and quickly goes out as I arrived. My forehead knotted when I see no lights in the house that made me run inside.“Christmas!” I called her as I opened the lights here in the first floor. I headed at the kitchen but it was clean and at the same time in the backyard. “Christmas!” I run in the second floor and headed to our room but I didn't see her as I opened the lights. “What the fuck? She must be home by now.” I said to myself and headed to the other room but she isn't really here. When I remembered auntie goes he

[Carlos] After dealing with Christmas upstairs, I headed here in the living room to have some piece of mind with the fire in the chimney in front of me. I always do this everyday when I am waiting for her before but now she's here, I'm still waiting for her. Waiting for her to remember everything including me. This is frustrating. I thought everything will be okay if I will find her but now she is back, it's just became worst dealing with her. I raised my head in the painting that is hanged at the top of the chimney wall. It is her and me in our wedding day and we are both happy together. I can see the truly happiness in her smile and eyes that telling me how lucky I am to have her. But now? I seems like an annoying person to her that she will always hate. She is quite different now than she used to be before."What is this?!" Christmas suddenly showed up and threw the folder to me. "Why is m

Does she already believing me now or she still keep on denying at herself?"Don't you love the food?" I asked after sipping in my wine glass, "Don't you know this is the first food we ate in our first dinner before?" I added.Christmas dropped her utensils. "Why do you have to tell me that?" She asked, looking down at her plate."Because I know you are starting to remember," I answered, "Stop walking away on it and try to remember because that is your life.""There is nothing I remember." She raised her look to me. "Maybe you are right, I am her but it's not me anymore because I can't remember this and even you. I already had my life in Jacksonville with D-""With Duke? That man? For

The fountain doesn't have a water anymore since our situation gone wrong and even the house adjusted in the changes. It seems the house died since she is gone but now she is here, it is still not alive.“What are you doing here?” asked of Christmas, looking on my way.“I came here to see you,” I replied and walked closer to her, “I just want to apologise about last night.” I sat beside her.She grimaced. “Forget about it.”“Are you mad?”“What do you think?” she asked sarcastically.“You are mad.” I laughed. “After this we are goin–”“Are you going to take me back?” she cut me off.I grimaced. “No, not yet.”“So, where are we going then?”“You'll know later.

The place changed a little bit but the small amusement park, concession stands, and areas for views and fishing are still here. They stayed the same but she is the only one who changed."Is there something wrong?" I asked."I knew this place," she answered that made my hope alive."R-really? You knew this?""Yea, I saw this one of the movie I watched before. I just forgot the title." She chuckled. "I was only watching this place on a movie but now here I am. It's funny."
