CHOCOLATES AND FLOWERS
“HOW did it go, my friend? It’s been a week since you left me here in Paris. And now that you are back, report to me all the things that you’ve gathered.”
Romnick welcomed his friend and PI with full of sincerity. He is really dying to know about the woman whom his only family crazy about. But instead of answering him, he smiled as if he is saying, he’s excited. Upon thinking of that, he smirked loudly that makes his friends burst into laughter.
“Hey, man! What’s so funny with you?!” he asked out loud in disbelief.
“Huh! Since when you became a hot tempered man? You are the reason why I’m laughing out loud, brother. By the way, here’s the envelope containing the information that you are asking. And I’m sorry for taking your name into action,” Vernon says as he handed the sealed envelope.
He just accepted the envelope and opened immediately. Even he didn’t give attention to what his friend just uttered that he took his name into action.
“So, she grew up into a beautiful woman. The thin little way back then turned into sexy alluring figure,” he murmured while reading and scanning the files.
“That’s true, brother. I invited her twice to have dinner but she refused. Instead she accepted the lunch. And as I observed during my stay there, she is really distant to any men. But seems that she is avoiding your twin brother.”
He is in a deep thought when his friends say those words. That makes him look up to him once more.
“So, they didn’t reconcile yet? It’s been three months since Ramil was here. How is he now?” he asked once again.
“As usual, house to work and vice versa, brother. I never see him talking to that young woman. So, can I ask you as well if he is still infatuated with her?” Vernon asked.
He then smiled upon hearing those words.
“Infatuated is just an understatement, my friend. If you remember when he came here all of sudden, he is crying because he lost a child from that woman despite the fact that he is living with them or the mother and daughter. Meaning, both of them are in loved with each other,” he explained as he let go a deep sigh.
“It’s not surprising, brother. Like what I’ve said a while ago, she is a woman with perfect curves that can turn every man who can see her. By the way, what are you planning to do now?” he said.
“For now, let’s suffice ourselves for these information that you’ve gathered. As long as he is not saying anything, let’s standby for him. Because he is our only family now---”
But Romnick didn’t have a chance to finish his words because his phone rang continously.
Because of this, Vernon mouthed that he will come back some other time.
AS the days goes on!
“Hmmm... Are you dating someone, sweetheart?” Mrs Fuentebella-Saavedra to her daughter.
It’s been a while since she witnessed that her only daughter is receiving a flower and chocolates which never happened before.
“No, Mom. It’s just an anonymous sender.” Stephanie shrugged her shoulders as she put the flower bouquet in the side table with looking at the card.
“Sweetheart, you are on a right age to marry already. And you’re not getting any younger anymore. As I am, I’m old but I have you as my daughter. So, go and explore yourself by socialising,” she said.
“Mom, no matter what you will say regarding that matter, won’t do that. Because I promised to myself that he is the only man for me. Do you think I didn’t try that way back on my younger years of living? I did, Mom. But my heart says, the father of my child who was dead few months ago will be my forever,” Stephanie explains as she face her mother.
They will call her traitor, immature, hypocrite and many more. But no matter what they will say to her, no one can change her decision. She did it already way back then so she can do it too at the present. She contented herself in caressing herself while fantasising him, she’s crying at night while thinking that her mother and her daddy Ramil are playing on fire instead of her. She witnessed how they are happy in front of her. But all of those are obstacles that she need to conquer. Because that’s what she selected instead of pairing herself to a man that she never love.
“Okay, sweetheart. But I’m hoping that before I will die... Oh, don’t look at me like that. I’m an old woman already and we don’t how our lives goes on every day. What I’m saying is, hopefully, you will be able to marry the man who took away your dignity and impregnated you even you lost the child.” Mrs Fuentebella-Saavedra once again said.
Upon hearing those form her mother, she became more speechless. There are many questions that started to run through her nerves again. But since that she doesn’t know what to say, instead of saying a thing that it may lead her to confession, she just smiled to her. She picked again the flower and made her way to her room. She wants to be alone.
‘Mom, if only you know. The one you are searching ardently nor the man whom I got your grandson is with you for fifteen years already. No matter how hard you will do, you will never find him. Because both of us are betraying you. Please don’t forgive us on what we’ve done to you,’ she murmured silently as walks toward her room.
“HONEY? Who are you thinking? Ah, should I rephrase my question? You are in a deep thought, what’s are you thinking about? I’ve been here for few minutes but it seems that you are in a serious malady,” Ramil said as he tapped his wife shoulder.
“Oh, I’m sorry for that, honey. But do you know what I realised while I’m talking to my daughter? She’s madly in love with the man whom she gave in. But she doesn’t want to let the world know who is that man. By the way, do you any have any idea who’s that person or sending the flowers?” she asked.
“Honey, you’re the one who just told me that she is adult. So, just let her do what she wants. We are all living under one roof, so the right time. For sure, she will tell us the identity of her man,” he said.
But on his mind, his wife is just wasting of time. Still, he is so happy on what he heard.
‘Hang on a little bit, baby. Soon, we will be able to start all over again. I love you so much,’ he says on his mind.
