The Jerk is a Ghost

71

While cooking, Christine came. She announced that Taiwan's cellphone was stolen while he's sleeping in the truck. Alas! If he did not redeem it from, it wouldn't have been robbed. Alas! Zildjian's photos were still there. Thus, it's like, he would not have pictures taken after he was born.

From ten till evening, I was texting. Bernadette Glomar, Divina Robelas and MarieJaye were my text mates in the morning. Marj texted again in the afternoon. Then, I texted Rean's sister, Sierra. She's a nice text mate. Then, Rean, herself, exchanged messages.

It is nice to do texting. I have known my friends' lives. I have had new contact numbers ..

Because of Felip, James and Flor's noises, I was forced to get up early at quarter to six. Though, it was so cold, I started sweeping outside. And, while doing laundry at past 8, drowsiness strikes.

Ten, I sold scraps. I have earned P107 from 'steel' and 'carton'. It would be used for Hanna's needs. Haay!

"Nothing, really."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm, I just watched a movie last night."

"Still into the Jackie Chan movie, hon?" He laughed at me. "Looks like you still have the hobby, huh?"

"You're the same as your dad. You're never bored and that's almost what you watch every night."

Actually, I just had no choice last night because it was pure romance movies and dramas and a collection of CDs in the drawer. And our internet's connection is very slow at night.

I never really think about it as my hobby. I didn’t even feel the familiar feeling when I watched. Is she lying again?

"I guess so."

I was an i***t all morning, fortunately no one noticed them. They were all busy with their work at home so I decided to leave the house first.

I was approaching the door when I met Maxine. We looked at each other for a while but eventually he turned away and passed me without saying a word. He didn't even greet me or say hello.

"Christian, are you here?"

I felt the wind blow on my face. He had said before that he was just nearby and could see me in the place where the wind seemed to have a strange presence.

"Do your job now."

I nodded when I got the answer. Just a spurt in a short second my run started.

Ignoring everything around me, I focused on mentioning my name in my mind.

"I'm Maxine Jade Rodriguez-Vergara."

And now I intend to let go of resentment. It's like I don't hurt anyone. I will go away for a while to breathe easy.

"I'm Maxine Jade Rodriguez-Vergara."

As much as possible I want to avoid them. Every time I see them the questions in my mind only increase. And it will always end up unanswered then I'll sleep at night in my bed, disappointed.

Being with my family makes me happy and sad at the same time. There's something missing. A big piece of the puzzle that makes my head recklessly think things very through.

You don’t deserve to be happy.

I stopped, almost sinking into the cement with that sudden action. I sighed as I looked back at the path I had taken.

"How far have you run?"

It's almost 30 minutes since I ran outside. No wonder I feel so tired! Just drink.

I was stranded in the municipality near our plaza. How many barangays have I passed to get stuck here?

In the depths of my mind I missed counting the kilometers I had run.

I sat down under the acacia to relax. It's good to be windy here.

8:00 a.m. and. I'm sorry I left the house. Ghad, I won't run alone next time!

After a few minutes I got up again and walked. Exactly I saw a bakery on the other side. All I have to do is cross the road and buy bread and water. All I wanted those times was to give my child back to me.

As I expected, as soon as I entered my son's room, my tears flowed again especially since I could see nothing but things that reminded him.

His bed, his toys, his clothes and his pictures.

All his belongings are still here. We didn't move and move it. I think Mom Myrna was just ordering a maid to clean it so I didn’t see any dust.

Trembling my knees approached her bed and fainted to sit on it. I gently stroked the bed he was just lying on. My tears continue to flow.

"B-baby, I miss you. Mommy misses you. I hope you're here. I hope you're here to encourage me. Because, baby, I lost your daddy too. He loves someone else and they will have children too. , "I smiled even though my tears continued to flow," Are you happy? Because you're going to have a brother? " then I cried again, "Case baby, that's not my child. It's not your daddy's child. Is that okay with you? Is it okay for you to have your daddy's sister with another woman?"

I stopped to cry.

"Baby, I don't know if I can handle the pain. I still love your daddy dearly. But, baby. No, eh. You remember what I told you that I will do everything to come back to us. Daddy? Baby, I'll keep it. I won't let you down. I'll do everything I can to get Daddy back. Even if it's too much pain. "

I closed my eyes and no one else stopped crying.

I remember my promise to Fire before.

"I'll handle that. I won't forget that. And you'll also remember what I'm going to tell you now. Whatever happens, you're the only man I'll love. I'll wait for you no matter what happens. And let's make a promise to each other. If for example there is Even if we fall out, let's find a way to get each other's love back. Let's not give up until we can do that. Is that okay? "

And like I promise to him, to my son and to myself, I'll do my best just to get his love back for me. I will not let him go no matter what happens. Even though it was so painful that I was the only one to keep our promises to each other then.

Unbeknownst to me, I had fallen asleep crying over the loss of my son and his father.

I smiled bitterly.

He is very close but I still miss him.

I just woke up when I heard a noise from outside. So I slowly got up. I looked at the picture of Aki that I hugged earlier when I fell asleep.

My eyes watered, but I didn't let that go. I sigh.

"Hopefully, baby. One day, I'll be able to look at your picture without me crying. I love you, baby."

I kissed her photo and went back to where I had taken it earlier. After that, I sighed and left her bed.

I rolled my eyes as I approached the door and then opened it. I heard the voice grow louder.

Until I saw Mother Myrna standing and facing the guest room as if someone was talking so I walked closer to her.

"There. Maybe he left you. Maybe he's tired of you hurting him. You know? I'd rather Raiah just leave here than stay in this hellish house!"

"She can't leave -"

"Mom, what happened?"

I was so ashamed to my uncles there

It was past seven when I got home.

After I have cooked our dinner, Felip and James arrived. I then told them that our money did not arrive. It seems okay for them. It's a good thing!

Nine, Sharon Gimena, my college classmate, texted me. Next thing happened we're exchanging queries about our lives. I have known from her about her past job experience in Dubai and about her bf, who is our schoolmate. It was past 11 when we end up our texting. It's due to my load. However, it was good that my 'Alltxt' load was extended. experienced the 'trade', especially every morning. It was so confusing.

Eight-thirty when we left to Sta. mesa. I was assigned to deliver the five boxes at SM Sta. Mesa. It was 11:30 when the receipts were released. Twelve-thirty, I've got back to base.

Alas! I would only half-day. My P100 worth of fare was almost equal to my half-day salary.

I went home sadly and tired. Yet I managed to roam around EDSA Central Mall where I have bought a magnetic album.
