I almost trembled by the scene but my mind went busy so when he reached the bimpo I quickly turned around and went to the kitchen. I convinced myself to ignore the few rattle inside my chest and kept myself busy with the plates in the kitchen. Maybe I was too intimidated by him so I was nervous.

That is not new to me. Whenever the Solidad family brings guests or clients, I can't help but be nervous, because I'm afraid that I will do something wrong in front of them and ruin their impression, according to the Solidad family. I just let them in the office talk only their weak voices from there I just heard and I just ignored. There was the presence of someone I felt coming into the kitchen so I turned away suddenly.

"Cyreese, you prepare for breakfast, because they haven't had breakfast yet daddy."

Sister Celest said softly to me. She is the only child of the couple. She was also an engineer like his father. She was just about to take the bar exam and there is no doubt that he passed it and he got a license. It was not just about the brain, as what they say, because she surely is an epitome of beauty that any man can't resist. No wonder that many of them would beg for her commitment. But that's what surprised me because during my entire stay here, this man has never been introduced to me.

I quickly obeyed Sister Celest's order. Fortunately, I inherited my mother's cooking talent, and ma'am Mira herself proved that it was delicious. It took a while before I could serve it because I was the only one. They still seemed busy talking so I acted even faster. I took the last meal I cooked to the kitchen and I was a little surprised that they were all on the table.

Sir Constantine was in the farthest seat while his wife was to his left, to his right was his daughter Celest and next to her was their guest. They are chatting about something when I was pouring juice to their glasses when we hit the sight of the visitor.

I almost forgot that there's a visitor around and it was like a trigger that was clicked when all my consciousness suddenly dripped all over my body. Why are his eyes like that? It always seems to speak and really intimate.

"Cyreese, that's enough. Eat your breakfast too. We're fine now, Thank you."

Ma'am Mira stopped me as I just put her glass. I just politely nodded and slowly turned around to get to the kitchen. I was just about to enter the kitchen when it seemed like my instinct to look back at the table, only for me to see the man starring at me, still! His clenched jaw was so vivid in my eyes that I think I wouldn't be able to forget about it. I stared at his eyes for God knows how long with no one trying to break the stares that reaches trough my soul.

Sister Celest did not escape my sight as she put food on her plate. Before I realize it, It feels like I've reached my limit so I turned my back at him and start to regret everything.

Life was indeed unfair, and you'll end up asking God for it.

"Oh, you look happy again. Is it good to be watered for a long time?"

It was my routine whenever I go out and see the not so big garden around the house of the Solidad family. It's fun every time you see plants that bloom and look healthy because of the rain.

From my vantage point I looked out over the peaceful sea that had recently disappeared due to strong winds and rain. My suspicion that the rain will also stop in the afternoon is correct, because the same thing has happened in recent days. It's a pity because the class was canceled.

Few more steps and I was out of the gate. If anything I liked about this house was its location, because it was peaceful, close to the sea, and the air was still fresh, far away from the civilization I could watch and read about. I looked up to see the clear blue sky as if nothing bad had been poured before.

Slowly, I spread my arms trying to cease the moment. It was so relaxing that it makes me forget my life for a moment. I whispered my silent prayers for my mom and dad hoping that they will hear me. Sometimes I can't help but miss them, I still have fresh memories of how happy we were to go to church together, how we planted plants, and how mom and dad took care of us. .

But maybe that's not what makes my chest tight but the fact that it won't happen again. I was all alone. It's only been a few years but it's very sad. My brain seemed blank and hundreds of questions flowed through me. It's hard to imagine where I'm going to start again, where I'm going, and what I need to do. It's wrong to be jealous of others who also have a whole family, but I can't help it, if it's a guilt I want to get rid of it, but if I lose it I feel like I'll forget the memories they left me. I wipe my tears and smile trying to make my self better.

"I'm just sad, mom, dad."

I nodded to ease the weight of my heart. Even though you surrender for how many times now, saying "I can't do it anymore", at the end of the day, there are and still will remind you that there are more reasons to continue, to stay.

“Cy!”

I immediately turned away as I saw the familiar figure running towards me. It's just Oli. He was my classmate last year but not anymore, their house is just next to the land where the Solidads live but it is still a bit far because the land covered by the Solidad family is vast.

He was running so hard that the sand from the shore was shoveled by his feet and some of it accidentally gotten to his eyes. Before he could get close he was bent over in pain. I just giggled at the way he looked and I approached him myself.

"Are you okay? Why are you in a hurry?"
