HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

THE TWO BROTHERS

Hana

I walked into Toro's mom's room and met her talking to her teddy bear. It has become a norm for her, she always addresses it as her son. Even gave it his name. And no one dares to take it away from her. Though Kenny promised to take her to Toro on her birthday as a birthday gift, I know he won't be able to pull off that stunt that day. He had to make up some silly excuse on why Toro didn't show up that day.

'He couldn't make it,' he had told Toro's mother that day. 'He is so busy he couldn't come but he wishes you a happy birthday and here are the gifts he bought you.' He handed her three shopping bags filled up.

Watching the gleam on her face I could tell she was very happy. I mean I thought she was going to create a drama that he didn't show up but she didn't. The idea that her son is safe and sound out there calmed her.

'How is he doing?' She did ask. Watching the things I believed Kenny bought for her, not Toro.
