Chapter 39
I’ve been busy at work these past few days and weeks. The family business is expanding more and more. Lim and Guerrero, so here I am piling up the documents to be reviewed and papers to be signed. I miss my children but I can’t do anything but video call them first. I left them with Miles because it was better for the child to leave them. I’m sure she won’t abandon her best friend’s son’s and daughter. So I was called by Miles to say hello to the two.
“Good morning, dad! Did you eat your breakfast yet?” Dryce said cheerfully. I nodded my head then smiled. “Yes. Is it you baby? Have you and Yohann eaten yet?” I asked her while removing my reading glasses.
“Yes. We’re going to church now. Tita-Ninang will take us.” she said then showed me the clothes she was wearing. “Am I pretty, daddy?” she asked with a smile. I immediately nodded in response.
“Yes, daughter. I think you inherited it from me.” I said arrogantly. She chuckled and said “Weh? Daddy. They told me it was Mommy.” a mocking response of my dear daughter I just laughed and nodded. “Fine, there’s really no winning when it comes to you. You have to be careful. Yohann..” I called to his brother who was right next to her. The child is also in shape. Thank you It’s really an inheritance for me.
“Yes, dad?” he said in a serious tone. The handsome face is still wrinkled.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Don’t leave Dryce there. Don’t mess around and make noise in the church. Be careful, both of you.” I told him. He nodded then answered. “Noted, Dad. Don’t worry.” he said. They said goodbye to me because they said they were leaving.
“Hi, mate. We’re going to leave first. I’ll take care of your two little girls.” Miles promised with a smile. I nodded and smiled. Her children greeted me as they interjected with their mommy. I smiled at them.
After the call ended, I went outside to get some fresh air. I take a long and deep breath. The air is very fresh this morning. But I feel that what is lacking in my personality is huge.
“Boss, you have a special meeting in Baguio. They say you need to travel today.” Nikolai promised. My secretary. I looked at him. Then gently nodded.
“Take all my belongings. We’re going now.” I promise seriously. He nodded then left in front of me. I went to the parking lot to get my car. Nikolai sat on the driver’s seat.
“Boss, I’ll be the driver first. They might think I’m the boss.” he said scratching his head. I just nodded and moved to the passenger seat.
We traveled from Manila to Baguio. And here we are on the side of a steep and narrow road when it suddenly started to rain very hard.
“Is there a typhoon?” I wondered. He nodded. “No, boss. There is a storm today. Our trip is dangerous.” after he said that, suddenly a speeding truck met us.
Before Nikolai could get away, it hit us. Our car flipped onto the dirt wall. I can see how to take the life of my companion. And I hit my head on the corner of the car and hit the ground wall before completely falling.
And everything went blank…
I woke up in an unfamiliar place. It was dark and scary. I can’t see any light. I walk in the void. I can feel my heart pounding and I’m very nervous. Who wouldn’t be nervous if you could live like this?
Until there was a door there that lit up. It looked white.
I approached there and grabbed the lock so I could get in more. It opened and a light washed over me.
Dazzling and terrifying. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw a very peaceful environment. It’s like your paradise. There are trees, plants, mountains and people. They look at me weird. He seemed curious as to why I was there. I just realized that I was in the middle of the Park. That’s why there are many people. They also have pets.
“Hey! Yuan. What are you staring at? Let’s play.” I turned to Zel when he approached me. Will you play? Even though I was confused, I came here. I saw Rj and Raz as well as Joshua wearing a jersey. I looked at what I was wearing and saw that we were the same. I’m also wearing a jersey and playing shoes.
We are going to play basketball today. And I was right. Our opponents came and we played basketball.
I’m still good at playing.. Our opponent had a hard time scoring.
Until we win. Disappointed they say goodbye and say Nice Game! Let’s get back next time. We had a good laugh there and got along.
We had the pleasure of having lunch at the popular eatery in the Plaza. Everything just ended up in the story.
“We still have school tomorrow. Do you have a project yet?” Rj asked. I turned around. What is the date today? Why do I feel like I’ve gone back in time?
“Yes, there is. I had Khyla do it.” Joshua said immediately. So we scolded him. It just shook its head while grinning and having red ears.
I reached for my cell phone in my pocket. And I was surprised by the time and date written there. It was 9 years ago. You mean… I went back in time?! or is this what they say is Parallel Universe?
After we finished eating, I said goodbye to my friends. And went to where my wife often hangs out. She ventured there.
And I was right. Se was there and sitting alone on a long bench.
My heart beat faster. It almost disappeared inside my chest. I’m cold with nervousness. While walking towards her. She looks so innocent and calm. While reading a novel on the phone. I know very well what he always does to get rid of it.
When I came here I stopped in front of her.. So she looked up. This beautiful eye asks who I am and what I am doing there.
“Can I be your friend?” suddenly came out of my mouth. Her eyebrows met and left my presence. I followed her. “Hey, just making friends.” I complain. She looked at me with annoyance visible in her eyes. I laughed in my mind. To this day, it is still grumpy and stubborn. Until she got on the tricycle and I was left alone.
I know where she’d go. So I will do everything to get close to her. And if this is the afterlife or parallel universe. I am more than willing to stay here just to be with her. I felt very happy. Because finally, I have my chance. Finally, God heard my prayer.
