"Aren't you leaving?" I asked him. Earlier he accompanied me here to the hospital, until now Dad is not yet done with his operation.“I finished everything I did for this. Here, eat first. I also sent dinner to your family so don't worry. ” He sat down beside me after he gave me the food.I watched him. What is he doing? Is he still waiting for me to accept his offer? "Diego," I called. He looked at me and then I averted my eyes from him. I held his right hand which surprised him. "I have something to tell you.""What is it?" he asked seriously but the nervousness could be seen on his face. He was about to get off his hand but I held it tightly. “Why? Is there a problem with what you say? ” he asked. I bit my lower lip because I don't think his face can be painted anymore.“Nothing. I just want to say that I am now accepting the offer. ” His forehead furrowed so I was curious. Why? Doesn't he? “Why? I am accepting the offer, is that what you want, right? I just want to help you with y
“I just thought that you would cook for them. I wouldn't have eaten dinner but if you cook, I'll get home early. ” I stopped. I bit my lip because of what I heard from him, I was even more embarrassed because of that."If your walk is important and you can endure, I'll just leave for—"“No. I will come home early later and we will eat together. ” He cut me off and he smiled. I nodded slowly and let him do what he wanted because we might take a long time if we continued to argue.Once we entered the house, he also immediately entered his room and I told the helpers that I would cook, they said they would help me so I would cook more for everyone. I would first deliver the food to the hospital for mom and my brothers, and I would go back home to wait for Diego. All I cook is stew meat and grilled fish. He didn't say what he wanted so I'll take care of it. Dad taught me how to cook a lot of recipes when I was young. When they were still in good health, we had a small restaurant with us a
The day came when my father woke up so we were all in the hospital, including Diego. He still has difficulty speaking but that is the only problem. The doctor said that he is slowly recovering so we can expect him to continue recovering. I haven't even told my father that I'm getting married because he hasn't spoken yet. So the first thing my mother and I did was prepare for the wedding."Do you think Dad would be angry if I told him?" I asked Diego. We left the hospital and Diego told Dad that we should stay with them first, he didn't even nod, he couldn't do anything because it was only right that they were close to me."He won't get mad, I am sure of that." I turned to him. I still can't imagine him being hands on in preparing for the wedding even though I can also see that he is busy with his own life. Occasionally I see him come out at dawn. We still haven’t shared the same room because that’s what my mom told us. If the two people are not married, do not share the same room."I'
She closed her eyes tightly before opening the door of the expensive restaurant. This is the address given by her best friend, and because she also wanted to forget what happened, she agreed to one blind date requested by her best friend.She is wearing a fitted black backless dress tube and heels with three inches. Her friend let her borrow it. "I am here," she said on the phone. She called her friend."Okay, good. Ask his name at the reservation area; he is already known there," said the friend and hung up.She took a deep breath and then walked to the reservation desk. "Good evening, may I know where Mr. Williamson's table is?" she asked the lady."For a while, Miss..." the lady said and looked at the details of who she was looking for. "This way, Ma'am..." The lady pointed to the right side and walked first; she just followed the lady until they reached a VIP table, and only one person was at the table. "Hello, Mr. Williamson, the one you've been waiting for is already here," the
Scarlet immediately called her friend Amber that night when she saw that Stephen had returned to their grandparents’ house. Stephen looked at her without emotion before finally going to their family in the living room. Scarlet decided to go to the veranda to call Amber.“Where are you now?” Scarlet asked.“I just returned to my apartment; I brought the food I ordered earlier. That man didn’t even help me; who do I give it to now? This is too much,” Amber said quickly as she carried the many paper bags containing the food she took from the restaurant.“Just give it to the street people in your area. So, what’s the catch? How’s the date going?” Scarlet asked with a smile.And because of what Scarlet asked, Amber sighed when she remembered Stephen again and what she found out. Just then, she ultimately entered her apartment. She lives alone in her apartment. Scarlet even offered to give her a condominium, but Amber doesn’t want to because she doesn’t have a monthly payment for the apartm
Amber still couldn’t understand what Scarlet was saying, and she couldn’t understand why Scarlet wanted her to tame her Uncle Stephen. “I won’t do that, Scarlet. I don’t want to get into that kind of game,” said Amber, turning away from her friend. Amber went to the staff dressing room to get dressed in her uniform for her first job today as a sales lady at a famous store owned by Scarlet. She thought Scarlet was following her, so she turned around, but she saw Scarlet talking to someone. She sighed with relief, thinking that Scarlet finally stopped teasing her about Stephen, but that was what she felt because when lunch break came, Amber pulled by Scarlet to bring her to her office. “Let’s have lunch. I made a reservation for us, and we have someone to be with us,” Scarlet said with a smile. At first, Amber let it go because she thought she and Scarlet might eat lunch together, but she didn’t expect Scarlet to be referring to Stephen. “What is he doing here?” Amber whispered to S
They finished eating lunch, and what Amber couldn’t understand was when Scarlet suddenly announced that she was leaving. “I’m sorry, guys. Amber, I’m sorry. This is an emergency meeting, you know this, Uncle, right? It’s my mother’s company that I have to take care of. Promise, Amber. I’ll be back after your shift today.” Scarlet said worriedly. Amber understood her friend’s reason. “It’s fine, the other staff are already there even if I leave for my next job. I’m fine, don’t worry. Be careful, Scarlet.” Amber said with a smile. Stephen just listened to the two of them, and they took Scarlet to the parking lot of Scarlet’s shop to get in her car. Amber and Stephen were left outside the shop when Scarlet had already gone. Amber gulped twice; she didn’t know what to say to Stephen. “Uh... I’ll go in first; thanks for the lunch and ride,” Amber said softly. She was about to leave, but she stopped when Stephen spoke. “You have a next job after this?” Stephen asked seriously. Amber’s e
The next day, Amber woke up with a headache. After her last job at night, she suddenly felt dizzy while riding the bus. She slowly got up and suddenly felt hungry when she heard the sound of her stomach. “Didn’t I eat last night?” she asked herself. She immediately left the room and looked for food in her kitchen. She was disappointed when she saw that she couldn’t cook anything; she ran out of rice and some dishes. She just remembered that she hadn’t done grocery shopping yet. “Great!” she shouted in annoyance when she saw that he only had a little money left in her wallet. She was about to buy food. She took a deep breath and allowed herself not to eat. She started taking a shower to leave that day for her first job at Scarlet’s shop. And while she was on the bus, she was still enduring the hunger she felt until her phone rang, and she immediately answered it. It’s her mother calling. “Hey, Mom?” she began. “Amber, where are you? Are you going to your work? When are you comin
