CHAPTER 10

My love, my life.

After staying at the hospital for almost a week. I had a huge time to fulfill all my promises for my daughter.

I breastfeed her because my mom said it was good for the baby to drink the mother's milk. Not the milk I can just buy at the stores. I took some checkups for assurance that I'm good to go home, mom also wants it for me before getting discharge.

I was here in my room with my little angel, she's sleeping right now and she just finishes her feeding time.

I dance with her so she can sleep and sing her some baby songs that will help her to sleep in peace. When I put her I can't help to stare at my little angel.

How can you expect that this would happen in my life, a very unexpected gift given by our god? Even if it's hard to have this kind of situation. I still manage to be strong and have hopes in everything.

She had Leo's features.

She had that kind of dimples.

A very cute cheeks with rose lips.

Somehow I just hope that she won't have the same attitude the way her fathers have. I don't want her to grow up like Leo's attitude. Maybe perhaps I wanted her to have Leo's sweet thoughts and caring person.

I went out in my room to drink some water before I continue applying for scholarships here in Italy.

I was busy taking good care of my daughter and at the same time, I'm also finding a school that had a scholarship. I was planning to took up Architecture because that was my dream ever since.

I was busy scrolling in my Instagram account when I saw someone whos with Leo and Dalia. I admit I'm still hurting but I refused to take revenge because that won't put any goods to our both sides.

We broke up, maybe not in a very peaceful breakup but at least I talk to him for the last time being his girlfriend.

"Having this two-person is a blessing in my life" That was the caption. I smirked because how did it happen Leo was a blessing as so as Dalia? is he nuts? whatever...

I read some comments while eating my banana cue. When I reach the last comment I saw a comment that changes my feelings into anger and jealousy.

"Is this a comeback for the past couple?" The man named Bobbie Falcon commented in the photo. I then realize that what is he talking about? I remember it was me and I was his last at that time.

Maybe I was right, I always thought what if I forgive him but all of it was the right decision. It was right on leaving him nothing and leaving him some consequences in his life.

Perhaps I'm happy because he's able to continue his dreams with the girl she loved more than me. I smiled with pain and slowly felt the teardrops in my eyes. I run to my room to shut down the laptop.

I was shocked because Ely was crying and I thought she won't stop crying so I carried her and stops for crying.

"shh shh," I whisper

"Just stop crying it'll be alright just close your and I'll hold you tight." I sang while dancing so she can go back to her sleep.

In a few minutes, she went back to her sleep, but when I put her in bed she always wakes up and cries.

Then I realized she doesn't wanna sleep in the bed so I get her up and let her lay down in both closed arms.

NARRATORS' POV

She forgot that she slept while I'm holding her daughter. She taps the head of her baby but she can't touch anything.

She automatically looks at her room because she can't find her daughter so she went out to her room to find the baby. She was panicking at can't stop her eyes from slowly falling in her face.

She checks every little door and tiny place in their condo but she can't find the baby. She was still crazy looking for her baby and then she saw Leo running to the unopened elevator.

She runs after him and reaches for Leo's hand but it was too late because Leo already went inside the elevator. She runs as fast as she can, she took the stairs instead of the elevator.

On the ground floor, she can't find Leo then she realizes that maybe Leo went into the parking lot. She calls security for her help to look for Leo and her daughter. She was devastated because of what is happening.

They look all over the building and suddenly she saw a man in a black hoodie who is running outside.

Even if she can't run that fast because of the stitch in her lower part she tried not to feel the pain.

When she crosses the traffic light she felt something in her thighs slowly falling the blood in her legs. She doesn't mind it and continued running. Everyone in their cars went out to shout at her to stop because she was now bleeding.

"Oh my god!" the girl shouted.

While running towards her but she continues crossing the pedestrian line.

"Hey! help that woman!" someone shouted

"We need an ambulance!" the girl shouted

She stops running because she can't walk her right foot. Suddenly she fell down and before her vision became black. She saw Leo and Dalia evilly laugh at her.

"El-ly," she uttered still catching her breath before she closed her eyes.

LOURIE'S POV

I was on the road while having a phone call with my friend. I parked the car in the basement while hanging up the call. I then dialed Lucia's number to tell her that I'm home but I shes not answering my calls.

After three dials, I walk faster so I can reach the unit. Her phone is ringing but no one is answering it so I got a bad feeling at that time. When I reach our unit I swiped the card and open the door.

When I was about to go inside I heard Lucia's shout. Without further ado, I automatically run to her room to see what is happening. When I went inside her room I saw her having a bad dream and the baby was about to fall in her arms.

I took the baby off in her hands and tried to pinch her cheeks so she can wake up.

"Lucia! Lucia!" I shouted while slapping her cheeks slowly and in my last slap at her, she finally woke up.

I was shocked because of what happened and she suddenly hugs me at roaming her eyes to the whole room with worries. When I realize she was looking for Ely so I pinpoint the bed for her to see Ely.

She then runs like one blink of my eyes and cried in quiet. I walk closer to her and hugged her in the back to comfort her.

"Lucia, it was just a dream okay?." I uttered, she swallows her head while still crying. I caress her hair to make her calm and stop crying.

"I thought Leo stole Ely for real," she said, I was shocked because of what she just said. I didn't know that she still had a bad dream with Leo.

"Lucia, calm yourself and try to forget that bad dream okay?" She just nodded and I went out of her room to get some water for her.

Lucia hasn't yet forgotten her past with Leo. Shea is still in that bad shadow living in her dreams and the pain she felt on that day.

After I gave her a drink I told her to sleep and be the one who'll watch Ely while she's awake. First, she refuses because she's afraid she might dream about Leo's vision again.

I assure her she won't have a dream like that. She just nodded and went to the bed to take some rest while I'm playing with baby Ely.

I was awakened by a noise outside, when I open my eyes there is no Ely and Lucia in the bedroom. I fix my hair and my school uniform before I went out into the room, then I heard my mom's words while talking to Lucia.

I didn't bother to listen to the whole conversation and I went to the kitchen to drink water. The foods were already prepared and everything is set.

I was about to open the refrigerator when suddenly dad went out of the bathroom with his formal attire. I think they just went home and haven't yet eaten.

I also thought that Lucia was the one who cooks everything while I was asleep. I went to the living and told them that the foods were ready. Lucia just looks at me with a smile and then turns back before going inside the room.

I saw my niece laying in her mini-bed while sleeping.

"Mom, food is ready," I said, she just nodded.

"I'll just change my clothes," she answered before she went to their room. I was alone in the living room when I also remembered I haven't changed my uniform.

I bring baby Ely with me while I was changing my clothes. I heard Lucia was calling me while asking if I'm with Ely. After a few seconds of changing, I went out into my room to put baby Ely in her mini bed.

I smiled at Lucia when she notices me coming she then also smiled at me.

"So how's your last sem Lourie?" my mom asks while she's putting some rice on her plates. She put also rice on Dad's plates before she passes the bowl of rice to Lucia.

"Well, some of us were hesitant because of their grades failing to but mine is fine," I answered.

"You're going to be a lawyer soon. Do you like to proceed in Prosecutor after?" dad asks seriously. I cough in shock but I recovered before I answered his question.

"Daddy I haven't yet taken the bar exams. Also, I'm not sure if I'm gonna passed the bar exams." there's a sadness in my voice. Dad turns his gaze to me and smiled before he talks.

"You'll pass the bar exams and soon Lucia will take up her dreamed course. You two should work hard on it." Dad said while drinking water.

"This. Daddy is so early, I haven't yet find scholarships in different Universities. Maybe by the end of this month, I'll receive the result." Lucia uttered, they just nodded and continued eating.

The dinner was fine and have some little chit chats with my parents. When we're all done, Lucia went to Ely to feed her. Mom went to her office to continue her work and so as a dad.

While I was in the kitchen cleaning and washing those dishes before I went to my bedroom.
