Chapter 59

I immediately took care of myself, I also wore simple clothes and then left the room, because I didn’t see Zaffiro anymore and it was already nine o’clock in the morning. When I opened the door of my children’s room, no one was there, the things were in order. I was about to go downstairs and immediately noticed the two children chasing each other, I immediately looked at the man sitting on the sofa while staring at his laptop who also looked at me.

It greeted me with a kiss and the repeated kiss. “Maybe I’ll get used to it,” I whispered as he laughed. “Good morning,” I greeted but he just kissed me on the cheek.

The first floor of his house is spacious so maybe he just lets the kids chase, the things won’t be broken but it looks expensive.

“Good morning, ija, have some coffee before your son leaves.” It dropped a cup and just stayed in front of me.

I can’t take my eyes off the woman who took care of me when I was a young woman and when I was still living in a condo. She also became my mother somehow. Her smile at me and the weak nod could not be erased when I widened her eyes. I repeatedly looked at Zaffiro who just laughed as he continued what he was doing.

“Nelly!” I shouted and immediately hugged him. “It’s me—”

“Why are you here? There, ah, is this a surprise morning?” I asked as they laughed.

“There’s your husband, I was offered if I could be a maid here, or a guardian for you, even if it’s embarrassing but I accepted as well, because, I seem to be comfortable with your condition as a child,” she told me as if in tears.

I could not speak and did nothing but pull him slowly next to me to sit down. I just held his hand and the veins in it were obvious.

“I plan to do that too, eh. I didn’t know that you were on the same side of this one. After all, you don’t have a family to approach, you’re just with us,” I told him with a smile.

I know that Zaffiro and I will meet because it was Nelly who said that Zaffiro often went to the condo to look for me. Nelly was the one who told me about my life in that condo. And now, with her, I am comfortable that she is in a good place, not like before.

“I still have to take care of the plants, it’s a pity if I can’t take care of them, especially since they’re beautiful. Have some coffee and it looks like you’re leaving.” She sucked on Zaffiro and then winked.

It was only then that I woke up because I noticed the person next to me laughing softly. I drank coffee and then turned to him.

“You don’t have any plans to torture Nelly, do you?”

“Of course none. I just really want her to come with us because she doesn’t have a family anymore. Your children also agreed with her when we picked her up earlier,” he told me with a smirk.

“Wow, still left, ah. She doesn’t have to watch the kids, eh,” I said then sipped my coffee again.

He turned around and then put the laptop aside. “Why?”

“Hmm, they’re students. I enrolled them this school year. I want to focus on them.”

“How’s your job?”

“Maybe I’ll resign as well. I really want to take care of your kids, maybe I’ll just accept work through online, as long as I’m here. It’s okay with you, isn’t it?” embarrassed I asked because he had to spend it all.

I will still help with the expenses, as if there are no expenses except for the needs of the children. “Of course. I like that too. And at least, you’re just here. But if you still want to work, it’s okay. I don’t stay in the office too much anymore,” he said with a smile as I asked.

“It’s obvious.” I noticed that too.

At that time, he was very busy and only stayed in the office when he wasn’t doing much. Now he is just at home and only goes there when he needs to, because his brother is often there.

“Is it okay with you if we put Inah in ballet class?” question me its hopefully lean back.

“Told you?”

“Nope. But hse seems to love it there, she also often talks about ballet,” he said then arranged my hair which he put behind my ear.

I just bit my lip because of staring at it which I avoided. “It’s up to you, but hopefully you don’t give them everything they want, they might get used to it,” I remind.

I don’t want them to be like me. Uncle gives me everything I want so I’m comfortable that I can get everything. Fortunately and somehow I learned in Spain if I hadn’t been fired. I also trained the kids that what there is is just that, as much as possible I don’t really want them to imitate me.

Just like their father’s plan, we took Inah to a ballet class, she was a lot of the same age there and because she was Inah, she was talking to people who didn’t even know who those children were. Because Inah was at school in the morning, we forced the afternoon for her and it only took at least three hours for her to rest. She seems to like it because she still imitates seniors who do.

After that, simple lunch we just did at the restaurant where Zaffiro and I used to eat. We also picked up the papers that Zaffiro handled. I could hardly believe it because the process was fast, I had just planned that but he did it right away.

Arcus, Evan Trey Ficarro

Arcus, Inah Esmeralda Ficarro

“Much better, and sounds good,” he whispered as I examined the children’s birth certificates.

“Wow?” I said with a raised eyebrow.

“Well,” he replied smiling then I put the papers in the envelope.

It’s still afternoon so we just bought food for home cooking, there’s a lot of food there so I don’t know why he bought more. We also bought Nelly her medicine and even the children’s vitamins that Lana gave them when we were in Spain. I just gave birth maybe two, because I have nothing to contribute anymore.

While in the car I couldn’t help but think of what the doctor had told us earlier about Zaffiro. That what he was going through was not random and anyone could be hit. So as much as possible, I would keep an eye on him and take care of him. That’s what I wanted to do. I want to recover.

After we ate that night, the two children fell asleep immediately, they were already asleep at eight o’clock and waking up at six o’clock, while when they were drunk I was still snoozing at six o’clock so I often scolded. Nelly, on the other hand, was given a rest by us because there was not much to do.

“Your back is mine, so I can squirm,” I said to him when we were in the room.

He looked at me for a moment and then adjusted the towel because he had just finished washing, if I was physically clean, this one would be cleaner. It landed immediately so I sat on the side. That room was just quiet and I kept myself from doing anything weird.

“It’s okay now?” I asked then he smiled.

“Thanks. Are you going to sleep?” it asked me that I could not immediately answer. I want to kiss him.

Case maybe he doesn’t.

“You want sex?”

I immediately turned away from him because of what I said. It literally stared and his Adam’s apple was purely up and down. I can’t even understand why my mouth is so sore.

“Veron? Are you even serious with that?” it’s a serious question to me that I can barely move.

But I didn’t answer and quickly left that room, feeling like I was going to explode in embarrassment. My mouth was really bad and I couldn’t control him. That face he had earlier was obviously shocked and I don’t know if he would laugh at me or understand what I said. I just drank water in the living room, my body obviously got hot from what I said because who wouldn’t, eh, I’ve been single for almost five years! He wasn’t even in a very good condition and then I started snoring again.

“Seriously, Veron?” I couldn’t immediately move from where I was standing because of the voice behind me, he was able to follow me here so quickly and now I could hear the kitchen door lock.

“I was just shocked before. Why would I take that seriously?” I boldly promised but he was not shaken when he approached me.

“So we’re going to sleep?”

“Y-Yes, why did you come down?”

“I’m thirsty, I need water,” he said with a smile and then stroked my arm.

This is my weakness! Why is it like this! The two of us pressed our lips together, I couldn’t even move because of what he did. It was very different from the kiss he had given me before. It’s so furious now that it’s almost in my mouth, its tongue wandering around until it reaches my ear. I just leaned on the kitchen island and was held on the pillar, I was just exhausted because its hand quickly penetrated my underwear, it immediately turned me around and I followed.

“Don’t make any sound, please?” he said then I felt his three fingers.

I was immediately caught in my mouth because there, we had no sound created except for our inhalations. I couldn’t even open my eyes anymore because of the wonders we were doing in the kitchen.

“Z-Zaf, maybe you can do that? Please,” I said stiffly then I heard his weak laugh.

I still turned my back from him but he lifted my foot and placed it on his thigh which was slightly resting on the small staircase that the children were treading. I almost didn’t know what kind of position that was especially since my two thighs were almost open. I just sank when I felt him.

But that’s how I woke up when the kitchen door suddenly opened.
