PICTURE OF YOU 28 WE ARE FATED
ABBYI lazily sat up, annoyed when Matthew was still not back after thirty minutes. What took him so long? I firmly told him earlier that he shouldn't wander far away because we're new in this place. I forced myself to stand up despite the soreness I felt between my legs and went out of our room. I went outside the house and sat on the bamboo bench under the tree near our home, waiting for him.The place was so calm, and the smell of the sea was so refreshing, far from the scent of a polluted city. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath with a smile plastered on my lips. I felt so content right now. My life is perfect.But why Matthew hasn't returned until now? It's already one hour since he left, and he has his bike. I'm sure there's a store not far away from here. I started to feel uneasy as the time continued to tick. I stood up and began to pace back and forth in front of the house. People seldom passed the home where we were staying because it was a little further from the main r

Let's go back. It's getting cold, and I have work early morning tomorrow.""Matt, can you find another job? That job is so hard for you. How about a waiter or a receptionist, or any other but loader and unloader of tons of seafood? Matt, you might harm yourself.""I can do it. Just trust me. Promise I will be fine, and I'll take care of myself for my beautiful to-be soon wife." She smiled, but worries still lingered in her eyes. "Stop worrying. Let's go back home." I pulled her up, and we returned to our house. We cleaned ourselves and laid down on our bed."Stop frowning. Okay, if I find the job hard, I'll quit and find a new job. That's fine for you?" She smiled and nodded. "I'll try to find a job tomorrow.""Okay, just take care, and call me if something happens. I can't accompany you.""It's okay, I can manage." She smiled and poked my nose. I smiled and kissed the tip of her nose in return. She giggled and wrapped her arm around my neck. Then, she ran her fingers through my h
PICTURE OF YOU 30 BLISTER HANDS
After our lunch, we went to the nearest pharmacy, bought a first aid kit and some medicine Matthew needed, and went back home. "Just lie down and sleep while I'm tending your blister so that you can rest." He followed without arguing, and I did the thing I needed."You didn't go out earlier?" "No, I plan to go after you arrive, but I change my mind. Maybe tomorrow.""Thank you, Babe.""Welcome. Rest, and I love taking care of you." I whispered, wrapping his hand with a gauze after I applied an antiseptic on it, hoping tomorrow it would heal a little. "Tomorrow, wear gloves, okay?" He nodded. He sat up and kissed my forehead."I really love the way you are taking care of me. I felt like my heart wanted to explode because of too much happiness." He whispered and kissed my forehead again. "No one tended me this much, only you.""You're happy that your hand is full of blister?" I glared at him, but he just smiled and pecked my lips. "Rest, I'm sure you're tired." After tending his hand
PICTURE OF YOU 031 GOING TO THE FISH PORT
After Matthew left, I returned to bed and woke up around eight in the morning. I ate my breakfast, cleaned the house, and washed our clothes. I cooked our lunch after and waited for Matthew's return. It was past eleven when I heard his motorcycle approaching. I went out of the house and watched him coming. It My heart feels heavy seeing his appearance, but he is still able to smile despite looking so exhausted. He unmounted his bike, and I quickly took his bag inside the compartment and led him inside. I helped him remove his jacket, let him sit on the couch, and pulled his shoes off. "I'm okay. " He whispered when he saw my eyes brimmed with tears. I sat beside him, wrapped my arms around his body, and sobbed in his chest. I know he wasn't okay, but for my sake, he pretended to be okay. "Babe! " I pulled away from the hug and wiped my tears. "You bathe. I'll set the table." He kissed my forehead and wiped the tears that rolled my face again. "Stop crying. I will be fine in a fe
PICTURE OF YOU 32 HEARTBREAKING TO WATCH
LYZAThe women looked at me as soon as I occupied one of the seats in the shaded area. They all look like they are in their late thirties and forties while I am a teenager. I smiled timidly at them and refocused on the men howling those heavy tubs.I wondered how Matthew endured this. He used to live that someone handed him everything he needed, but now, he's working hard to earn money for both of us. Tears brimmed my eyes, but I blinked them away. I didn't want Matthew to worry. He was exhausted to add his worriesAt exactly eight in the morning, a bell sounded, and the men stopped what they were doing. One by one, they approached us. I searched where Matthew was among them, and I sadly smiled when I saw him approaching me with a smile on his lips despite how messy and exhausted he was. I held his hand and pulled him to sit beside me. I removed his jacket and the clothes that he used to cover his head and wiped his face with a towel I brought, then offered him a bottle of water whil
PICTURE OF YOU 33 MY LUCKY STAR
ABBYWe left the restaurant full of happiness. My heart is rejoicing. Matthew won't be suffering by carrying those heavy tubs of fish every day, and it lifted the heavy burden in my heart. My arms wrapped tightly around his waist, with my face leaning on his back as we drove home. I feel so relieved. We are lucky to meet Matthew's boss today. They are so Kind, and I am happy they peptide us and give Matthew a lighter job. Now, I could sleep peacefully knowing Matthew got a better job. Matthew picked me up from his bike when he arrived home and carried me inside our home. We both laughed when we reached inside. He put me down in the living room and wrapped his arms around me. "We are blessed to meet Sir Patrick and Ma'am Celeste. You are my lucky star. You came, Sir Patrick offered me a better, and you also found a job in one day—my lucky star. "I'm not. It was just a coincidence. Even if I don't come, I'm sure Sir Patrick and Ma'am Celestel will still offer you a job in their offi

ABBYAfter the delivery men left, Matthew and I went to the market. "Babe, I think you need to buy new clothes. You should wear formal clothes when going to the office. Let's buy three pairs of long sleeves, pants, and black shoes.""Okay. I'm also thinking that. "Let's buy your clothes before we buy the ingredients I need later. ""Okay. But you choose for me." He grinned. "Okay, I will. Let's go." We went to the clothing store and looked for his long sleeves and pants. I picked white, sky blue, a checkered color. His pants are two black and one brown."Do you like what I choose? ""I like whatever you choose for me. Can we buy a bag, too? "Okay, you choose your bag and the shoes. " "After we bought Matthew's things, we headed to the market to buy the ingredients I needed for our dinner later. We can't use the fridge tonight. The delivery men said to let it rest before turning it on. So we can use it by tomorrow. "We are lucky to meet Sir Patrick and Ma'am Celeste. " I said as
