Aileen's POV God must be on my side this time and I was grateful. Everything happened so fast but unlike how I predicted the end, things ended good. Alan didn't take it all on me and chose to forgive me, I wish my dad was around because there was a lot to tell him. He was the only one I could turn to express myself and since he was bedridden and now that he was gone, I feel like I was stuffed with a lot of things inside me. I missed him a lot, my best friend apart from Sunny. I sat down for a while and then went up to check on the boy. He might be shocked if he wakes up and finds himself in a foreign bedroom or without me around him. Since I knew the password already, I entered the codes and went inside. I was surprised by the view before me and soon my eyes become teary. Alan laid beside our son, hugging him closer to his chest as if he would disappear otherwise. He too fell asleep, he must've been tired. I thought as I watched the two sleeping, their breath falling and rising in h
The two spent an hour in the room and she knew not to disturb them, they later came down walking hand in hand. God knows what they were speaking about because she could only hear them laughing over and over again. Their laughter was a very refreshing sound inside his big empty mansion. “Are you two hungry? Come let's eat together” she already began to set the table for them. They all then sat down for lunch, the table was quite high and so it was quite difficult for Leelan to reach up comfortably. Alan left the room “I'll get you your own chair next time, i can't let my son suffer like this” he uttered and kept two pillows below him so that he was a bit higher compared to before. “That would be great” responded Aileen. “Daddy, I have my chair back at home,” he uttered. “Really, then I really need to get you your chair” he took out his phone and dialed Rafael. “You don't really have to do it now” Aileen was baffled. But she was late because the call was already connected. “Rafael, i wa
Some few minutes later, Aileen came down with the boy covered in a towel. She was using another towel to dry his hair. She halted along with her breath downstairs, “Good lord! What is all this?” She asked, her eyes widening. “You told me to get him something to wear, I don't know his size and I couldn't go to the mall now so I've brought the mall home!” He answered nonchalantly. Aileen was speechless, wishing she could take her words back. Before her were countless portable racks of clothes and couples of attendants waiting for them. “What???” She couldn't believe this man. “Here, come and pick anything fit for my son” he pulled her hand and brought her closer to the racks of clothes. “Welcome ma'am, can you please tell us what would you like to try first” said the head of the attendants. Aileen groaned “What is truly wrong with you?” she instead faced the man. “What? What did I do wrong?” He just can't seem to understand this woman. Why wouldn't she just congratulate him?.“I told yo
Back at Alan's mansion, the mother picked up something for him which was less expensive than the rest. Unlike her, once Alan knew his son's size he went ahead and bought a pile of clothes for him, saying that they would keep them at his house for when the boy visits, he doesn't have to carry any with him. Aileen tried her best to reduce them while the man added to them until she gave up and just watched him silently, spending his supposedly money on his son. She could only imagine how much the man had spent for the day, she wondered how much it would get at the end of the month. Later on they had to move his toys which were occupying the living room to some room, as well as the clothes he bought for him. Alan has already called one of his friends who was a major in house decoration to come and design his son's bedroom. Everything was happening so fast and still, he felt like he wasn't doing enough for the time he lost to be with his son.In the evening, the three of them went to his y
The day has come, for the boy to get introduced to his family, where he belongs. Being strict on his education, Aileen decided that the boy should go to school first and then they would go to her grandparents after school, together.And even though she was nervous to the core, she knew this has to happen one way or another. His son must meet with his family at some point. What warmed her heart was the fact that the little boy was so excited for it, just like how his father couldn't wait for the moment to happen. Waking up from his mansion since they spent the night over, she made breakfast for all of them before waking them up. Yesterday was very tiring for both father and son, they played until she had to drag the boy from his father and put him to sleep. They had breakfast peacefully, the boy comfortably sitting on his chair. She was going to add more to his plate when Alan beat her to it, she pulled back her hand and let the man have his moment with him, he deserved every second
Aileen's POV Unlike every other day, today was a very busy day at a triple A company. They were going to launch a new project soon and so an important meeting was being held today, so as to go through the project for the last time before launching it this weekend. After the hideous and tiring trip, they finally were able to get right back on track and with this product they were going to seal a new beginning, a very big project that each one of them had their own contribution in. A meeting was ongoing, every single department had their representatives around so as to stand and explain if ever a problem arises today. I sat beside my boss jotting down every important thing, the man was also very invested in the meeting, one of the department was playing their part. Triple A company was going to try something new this time, expanding it's diverse ground of business in the market even wider.“With each machine produced and made by our best organ of this company, I mean from my own depa
Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face. But there is nothing to worry
“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp
