Chapter 36
Herlene Point Of View
“I miss her so much.” I said to Miles and Khyla.
“Herlene.. It’s good that you can handle it. Isn’t she the only one that you called a twin, that you often talk to and sympathize with?” she said suddenly. I Nod and smile bitterly.
“I know I can’t hide the pain. Because she is the only one who understands me.” I said. They hugged me.
“Don’t worry we are here.” I nodded and smiled.
We went out for a walk. Along with the arrival of our other colleagues. Their husbands. They brought their children with them.
They are blessed. Truly blessed with a beautiful breed. Which their children inherit.
“Yo!” Zel called me. I smiled. Raz put his arm around me so Julia’s eyes sharpened. They kept fighting.
“How are you?” Zel asked me. I smiled again. “Are you okay?” while I was watching the busy children, Dryce approached me. My niece.
“Bless to your Godmother.” she smiled and did what I told her. Yohann and Edzel are playing psp. The two men are really good friends. It is certain that when they grow up, they will be confused by all the women. Is it too much?
“I’m fine. I just miss mom.” I confessed. Dryce played with her teddy bear. I remembered my twin. She was also very fond of stuffed toys.
Like mother like daughter really. I suddenly smiled at how beautiful Dryce was. Nice combinations of Yuan and Hershey.
“Let’s go!” Miles shouted. We boarded the Van and traveled to Raz’s place.
“Is it far?” I asked. Raz just nodded.
“It’s fine. It’s worth it when we get to Palawan.” I thought it was at his other residence. It is said to be in Palawan to be better and happier.
He is right. It’s so beautiful there and there’s so much to do and see that it’s fun.
Yuan lifted dryce while Zel lifted Yohann. I wish I had a child like that. The fool.
“Wanna have a cute babies? Let’s do it?” Zel said jokingly. I slapped him softly when we sat on the chair of Raz’s Mansion.
“Get well!” I was horrified by what Zel said to me. But of course I was also thrilled. He is so handsome.
“Nice, like a happy family.” Joshua teased.
“Your face.” Zel and I said together. When I look at Yohann, he smirks as if he’s thinking something mischievous.
“Ehem..” I turned to Zel who was staring at Yohann who was staring at me.
“Ayiee..” I heard their daughter Khyla teasing.
I laughed because he bumped into Edzel.
“Damn it! Didn’t you look at the road!” said Edzel gruffly. Erm. Like Yohann the first, this Edzel is still a bit of a bad boy.
“It’s because. Why are you yelling?!” Khyla’s son started crying. I stood up and took them off. Edzel just grinned and left. Yohann got off and followed Edzel.
Yohann is quite a quiet kid while Edzel looks like he swallowed chicken puke because of his excessive chatter. So they agree that they are both stuck.
Oh men. Oh God.
When I give birth is this the same? Hopefully it looks like a cool guy like Zel.
“What are you thinking?” I answered without myself. “You.” I was shocked to realize what I said.
When I turned around, Zel’s smile reached the sky.
“Damn!” I almost cursed because he looked like he was pissed off.
“I knew it.”
“Lol! You haven’t said anything yet, FYI! I’m thinking that I hope that my son in the future won’t be as arrogant as Yohann and Edzel! Because Oh my God. He’s naughty. Poor girls.” I explained.
“Then?”
“Uh. I said I wish It was like you.” we were both silent. If it wasn’t for Julia’s interruption, we would have both melted from that stare.
I stood up and marched outside where they were all already there. They said we will eat under the mango tree.
I turned around. It’s amazing. This land is beautiful. It is very wide and surrounded by mango and coconut trees that are full of fruit. Is it harvest month?
The color of the fruits has turned yellow. They are delicious.
We sat down at the table and began to pray. Before eating.
The food served in a variety of dishes was delicious.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“There is a church tonight at half past three in our church here in Palawan. Do you want us to go to church?” we nodded at the same time.
I remembered my twin Hershey more and more. If only she was here, she would definitely be with us now. That’s so godly. She always went to church and attended the anniversary of El Shaddai.
“Let’s go. Let me ride..” Zel invited me. I would have refused if my friends didn’t push me!
“Babe! Say cheese!” we all smiled at the same time as Miles’ camera clicked on the monopad.
The church just ended today and we wandered here together at their place. There’s so many people.
“Are we going to go to Boracay?” Julia asked. I looked at the boys.
“Yes. But maybe tomorrow.” Raz said.
We just shopped for what to wear. Since, Raz has a lot of food. I think they are the richest family here in Palawan. Raz owns the biggest food factory.
They own the biggest Hacienda here. That’s what their Mansion is built for.
I drank water because of the heat. We also returned to the Mansion and rested.
It was late at night when someone knocked on the guest room where I was staying.
I was even more surprised when I opened the door and Zel appeared half naked. He only wears jagger in his underwear. And my knees almost tremble when I look at his abs. On the V line and biceps then on the triceps.
I bit my lip and looked away after staring at his wet hair and smooth face.
“Enjoying the view?” he said with a smile.
“Your face! Why are you here?”
“to pick you up. It’s dinner. Let’s go downstairs.” I nodded and followed him.
We just walked quietly. I prefer this side of him than being so arrogant. Oh my! It’s very cold today. So I hugged myself. He came closer and put his jacket on me. My heart was pounding there. “Thank you.” I only told him. He smiled sweetly. So I looked away.
