DARK LOUIZ I couldn't believe I would admit to myself that I'm in love with her. It's the very first time since I broke up with my ex-girlfriend Ella years ago. I had girlfriends before, but I never felt the same way to her. She's different among the women I had before. I wasn't expecting to confess the truth to her auntie, and I think time forces me to do it. Finally, I confessed to Auntie Rosa that I'm in love with her niece Kate Rose. I had the courage to admit my feelings after several months of believing it as illusions, but it wasn't as I expected, it's an affection for her as a woman who has a strong perspective and dignity to stand up without relying on someone. I admired her, not as a woman, but as a brave person who wasn't scared to fight for what is right. I saw her bravery for a short period of time when we're being together. I realized my life was incomplete without her.Auntie Rosa told me the truth about her niece. My questions got answered, but she didn't tell me where

KATE ROSEAuntie Rosa arrived on Sunday morning. She rode a bus going here in our province. I waited for her at the bus terminal. I was so happy when I saw her again. We hugged each other as she disembarked from the bus. She arrived safely and we went straight to the hospital where my mother was confined for two weeks. My mother was so happy to see her sister. They hugged each other. There were tears in their eyes. I accompanied my auntie going back to our house after she visited my mother at the hospital. It's past four o'clock in the afternoon. My two youngest siblings are there. Auntie Rosa and I didn't talk privately since she arrived earlier. As she was arranging her clothes, she opens her mouth to speak and say what she wants."How's your stay here in our province again?" Auntie Rosa asked. I sat beside her and I met her eyes. She's waiting for my answer, but before that I took a very deep breath."I really missed this place and I'm so happy when I arrive

DARK LOUIZ I was opening the door of my car when I heard people mumbling behind my back. I was startled as I turned back and my heart begins to beat faster. I was a bit nervous. I couldn't believe the four men who are beaten me before would appear in front of me again. Both of them are wearing a black hooded jacket with face masks on their faces, but I can recognize their eyes. "Who are you?! What do you want?!" I asked them. My voice was shaking. The four men looked serious. No one spoke, so I decided to speak again,"What do you want, huh? I have to go now!" I exclaimed, and I tried to be strong in front of the four men. The memories of what happened before flashed through my mind and I can't forgive them for what they had done against me. I remembered the bravery of the woman I love when she faced them. She couldn't save me right now, so I must do it for myself and I need to prove that I was strong and I can defeat them because I was a man and I was expected to

DARK LOUIZ "Did your parents allow you to follow her at the province, huh?" Brandon asked me. I smiled at them before I announce my answer to his question. I sighed heavily."Yes, bro," I announced. "My parents allowed me to follow her in the province. I'm so happy to announce it," I added with a wide smile on my face. Brandon and Niccolo smiled at me. They're happy for me."We're so happy for you, bro. At last, you could follow her in the province," Niccolo said. "Thank you so much, bro. I couldn't do this alone without the help you have given to me. I owe the two for making me happy," I said. "Yeah, of course. It's for your happiness, so we're willing to help you," Brandon said. I nodded. "I know, bro. I thought my parents wouldn't let me to follow her, but I did everything. They allowed me because they're still trusting me as their son. They gave a chance again to prove myself to them. And this time, I'll not fail them anymore. My dad said, it's time f

KATE ROSEI woke up early in the morning and I went immediately to the bedroom of my parents. My father helped my mother to eat her breakfast. I greeted them very well."You have to eat more healthy food for you to recover soon. It'll help you to your cancer," I told my beloved mother who looked at me. She gave me a smile on her face. "Thank you so much, Kate Rose," she said. "I really appreciate your words. It gives me hope every time I heard your voice," she added. My father and I exchanged looks."You're always welcome," I said and I brought myself closer to her and hugged her so tight."But where's your friend, huh? Is he awake already?" My mother asked me about him. I shrugged my shoulders before I speak to my mother who's asking for him, "I don't know. Maybe he's still sleeping in the guest room. Why do you ask?" I replied to my mother very politely."Ah, nothing. I just want to know if he's awake now and maybe you could accompany him to the place
