WRITER ? She quickly rushed to the car, starting the engine but it refused to respond. She tried it again and again and the shit wasn't responding. She looked back to see the storm at great speed approaching towards her direction. "Fu*king start, asshole!" She cursed, hitting her fist hard on the steering wheel. " Start!" And the car started. She pushed the gear at five, matching on the acceleration paddle and at great speed she zoomed off from the hill top but the wind still came after her. " What do you want from me?!" She cried. " Why do you come after me?" She looked through the rear view mirror to see if the storm was coming closer. It was only a few miles to her, Sonia made a left turn. She decided to call Luci. One hand held the steering wheel while the other searched for her phone in her bag. Out of fear and tension, she couldn't find her phone. And again, her eyes went to the rearview mirror to see the storm wind was now close to her car. It hits her car, cau
Cynthia finally came to visit her. She was ready to talk about her previous conversation with Sonia, but this time, she wanted it face to face. She messaged Cynthia for them to meet at a coffee shop. AT THE COFFEE SHOP** "So, I wanna get something straight about what you told me, you mean the Master did show you to hell?" Cynthia asked, surprised. " Yes, he did and I don't know why. " Cynthia sighed. " How does it look like again?" She asked. " I mean hell." " Well, it looks more beautiful than you can ever imagine. You know I've always thought hell is like a burning furnace, you know, just like the church always calls it. But what I saw was totally different from what I thought. " She sipped on her coffee. " It's still surprising that he'd come for you after so many days of making his bargain. I really pity Luci, after everything he's done for you and the moments you two shared, it's gonna be tough to let go." "That's what keeps bothering me. I don't wanna imagine ho
"Miss Sotomayor, you are pregnant." My eyes flew open as my head was still trying to analyze the statement. "Congratulations." He said. I remembered the day Luci and I had our first... S*X. I can't believe I was seeing the real effect now. So... I am pregnant? I am carrying Luci's baby? I scoffed, chuckling as I rubbed my hands on my stomach. I chuckled again. "Luci, I'm carrying our child. . . your child? You just don't know how happy I am right now." I said as if he was standing right with me. I'm carrying his child. And it's so unfair to let our child grow to become fatherless all because of the master. I sighed. "So," I started, staring at the Doctor. "What do you think about the symptoms and my child? Will I lose my baby if it gets worse?" I asked. "Of course not. The symptoms have nothing to do with your child, it's just a natural sign, that's all. Don't get too scared about it, okay?" It reassured me. " But at least I'll need some drugs to calm the headache down, r
She jerked up. "No. Luci!" She moved her gaze to him. Luci was reading the morning newspaper when she woke up. He moves the newspaper down, looking at her. "You're awake." He said. Sonia gasped. "Oh, Luci." She bursted into tears. Luci drops the newspaper on the glass table, rushing to her. "Hey. Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, but Sonia was still busy in tears. "Babe, talk to me, what's the problem?" "I thought you were dead, I thought he took you away from me?" She said in tears. "Who?" "The devil. I woke up in the night and when I turned to look at your face, you were gone. I couldn't find you coupled with the fact that every where was closed and he was standing right here," she points to the place he stood. "I thought he took you." He pulls her in his arms, hugging her. "Remember when I once told you, no one is taking you away from me. It doesn't matter what or who it is, I will always be by your side." He assured her. She nods her head, sniffing on his chest. "I
Sonia was dumbfounded since Mrs Wilt left, she has refused to talk to her parents. Plus the fact that her mother thinks she's having a loss of memory. This was just some thing new to her ears. She knew what she saw, she knew what she read. How come? She drove to the park avenue to think and clear her head. If there was no Cordelia, then who did she see in the message? Whose picture was that? "What's happening to me?" She asked herself. "Why would I do such a thing to John? Could that be I was the one who cheated the both of us? Damn! What was I thinking? What came over me to act so stupid and senseless?"she slapped my forehead. "God damnit, Sonia, you need a miracle." But that doesn't matter any more, by next week he'll be getting married. She returned home so late. She had taken herself out for fun and to eat some thing new since the doctor had instructed her to eat much of a balanced diet. Luci entertained himself with the movie that was playing on the TV screen. He turne
Sonia woke up feeling rather healthy and strong. She yawned heavily, stretching her both arms. She felt her stomach was a bit heavy for her. She looked at it, shocked to see her stomach was looking like that of a two months old pregnancy. She woke Luci up. "What?" He asked, sleepily. "Babe, wake up. Wake up. I don't know how but my stomach looks bigger than yesterday." She said, terrified. "Babies grow, Sonia, your's just grew." "Can you just wake up and see what I'm talking about?" She raised her voice at him. Luci turned his face to her. He looked at her stomach and saw that it had actually grown bigger than he thought. He sat up, looking surprised. "Is this the normal way it happens?" He asked. "No. I mean, it never happens like this. This is looking much like a two months pregnancy and I'm barely three weeks pregnant. This is crazy and abnormal." "I think you should meet your doctor." She calmed down. "Yeah, I think so." She sighed. "He's gonna freak out when he
“I'm leaving but I'll be back soon. I want to prepare my home for your return. My home and family will be happy to see you.” Those were the last words of Luci before he left a month ago. Sonia was so happy at the words, if only she had understood what those words meant. . . She was so excited that he was leaving to make his home for her return and inform his parents about her. He told her not to inform anyone yet until her pregnancy was almost due. A time when she can no longer hide her pregnancy from every one. * THREE MONTHS LATER*** (SONIA ?) * I sat on the single sofa, groaning from the pains of my stomach. The baby was kicking and playing excitedly, I could feel his happiness as he jubilated in my belly. He was excited as I am. Luci would be returning soon, and each time he calls he always asks for our baby. I just can't wait to have him back. "Daddy will be back soon," I said, rubbing my belly. I always say that to him every minute of the day, and each tim
I could see the emotionless expression on their faces. It's so surprising, I know and I don't blame them either. And it's three times obvious on dad's face. He's just so surprised that none of us told him about our relationship. I know how it feels to be kept in the dark by your best friend and daughter. It hurts a lot. "You know, I don't have a problem with you hanging out with Luci or falling in love with him," he paused, I could feel his sadness and he was fighting it back. "You should have just told me. We promised ourselves no more secrets, right? Remember the night we went out for dinner, that was the same night we made the promise." He was crying, and watching him cry made me cry. We made that promise, and I failed it. We made that promise to make it up to each other all those years we never saw or spoke or had this father and daughters moment, yet. . . I couldn't even look at his face, his tears made me feel guilty for every thing and mostly for breaking our promise t
