Mrs Avanti was besides herself with worry in the few minutes it took the doctor to get to her residence. She paced up and down in her son's room while occasionally reaching to out to touch his forehead in order to feel his temperature.In all of his life, Roberto had never seen his mother so concerned about him. His memory of her was that she was always concerned about what would bring in more profits to her.She however, always made sure to provide for all he needed financially and materially but that was all. She was never there with him emotionally nor worried about him like she was now.Whenever he got sick, it was the butler's duty to make sure that the doctor came in and that he was well taken care of. His mother would only be aware of his sickness in whatever part of the world she was.He was still grateful that she at least required vto be updated with whatever vhecwas up to. Many parents never gave a damn about what went on with their kids as long as they kept the cash flowin

It was the next morning and the bright rays of sunlight seeped into the room through the small gap between the silk curtains. The sun shone straight into Roberto's eyes and he tried in vain to shut it out with his hand.He had been lying on the bed with his face turned upward to the ceiling. The sleep he had the previous night had been restless in spite of the assurance given to him by Dr Edward.He rolled from one side of the bed to the other as he remembered all the stories and words of admonishment which his god father had shared with him.He remembered telling him all that had happened between him and Lucia, how they had met and the events leading up to the video being uploaded and she discovering who was behind it and the way she had reacted.The doctor had been silent all through while he was recounting the story. At the end of it all, he was expecting a very bad scolding but what he got made him more dumbfounded at what was called Love."Let me tell you some stories. At thend o

Lucia saw that her friend was happy and even had a light spring in his steps as they walked towards the bus stop. He was happily humming a tune while he walked along the road.The joy in his heart was evident on his face. He greeted everyone they met on the way to the bus stop and even waved merrily to some kids playing football in a field.Lucia's brows furrowed in deep thoughts as she watched him. He normally was a lively person but today's excitement was on a new level. It was as if he had just been freed.Well, she was going to feel happy for him since he was happy. She only hoped it wasn't something temporal. She quietly walked beside him immersed in her own thoughts.She had been thinking things about some minutes before she remembered that Jackson had told her he had something to tell her. She looked up at him and sea him smiling happy at something only him knew about.Perhaps, what he wanted to let her know was associated with the way he was behaving now. It was better if she

Stephanie was his cousin from his mother's side and the both of them were so close until she went to the Philippines for some work.She left the year before and though they always chatted and video called on Skype, he still felt upset with her."And what offense did I commit? You know, I'm the one who's meant to be angry with you!" He said as he walked to the bathroom.She pretended not to hear him and went on with her talk."Aunt said you've been gloomy since yesterday and you have refused to talk to anyone except the doctor!""Yeah!""Is it about a girl?" She asked with a light smile."Yeah! How do you know?""How won't I know? So tell me, what's the problem?"He took a deep sigh and then went on to narrate what happened between him and Lucia, telling her even the details he didn't tell Mr. Edward."I think I can help you out!" She announced with a devilish grin."What?" Asked a flabbergasted Roberto."You heard what I said."Roberto couldn't hide his happiness at what his cousin sa
