1050 Words
''What are you doing here?'' Bradley said after Divina sang. Divina smiled at him and went to the outside. Divina just looked at the sky and thought about how she would tell everything to Bradley. Bradley held her hand and said ''How are you, Divina? What happened?'' She looked at Bradley and all she could see was how Bradley missed her. Divina cried and didn't take it. Bradley just hugged her tight. They looked like they missed each other and didn't realize what happened in the past. ''I'm sorry Bradley.'' Divina said. ''Shh I'm sorry after two years I didn't find you.'' Bradley assisted Divina to sit on the bench and hold her hand. ''Now tell me what happened?'' Bradley said. Divina had the pictures in her pocket, the letters and the pictures. ''What is this?'' Bradley asked Divina. ''Someone trying to scare me on our anniversary day. That's why I left you because I am scared that something will happen to you and my family.'' Bradley didn't expect that this would happen. She just hugged Divina. Bradley is so mad at himself that he didn't even do anything to know the reason behind why he had found Divina and now that he knows, he thinks that he is useless. ''Don't worry Divina. Nothing will happen to us and your family. I am here by your side, no one can separate us'' Bradley said. ''I also have something to tell you after that day. I became pregnant.'' Bradley didn't know how to react to that because he didn't expect that they had a child. He didn't feel mad about it. He is actually happy at the same time, sad because he didn't have a chance to be with her when she was pregnant. He kissed Divina until they lost breath. ''You know that I have been holding this ever since you left me.'' Bradley said to Divina. He got something in his pocket and knelt down to Divina. Divina was shocked because, after the two years that she left him, he still loved her. ''I knew you were the one for the moment I realized that you had left me, because no matter how painful, I waited for you. Will you marry me?'' Divina cried and nodded her head ''Yes Bradley!'' Bradley hugged her and they both cried at each other. After many months, they decided to have a secret wedding. The safety of the family is the first thing they think. And because of that, Annie grew up with a complete family.
-------
Annie woke up in the middle of the night. She is now at Lovely's house. After the call, Kyo immediately picked up. When she woke up, she missed her parents. That's why she got their pictures. She dreamed about her parents. Since she couldn't sleep, she went down to drink milk. She saw Kyo with a cigarette on his finger. Kyo looked at her and looked at the cigarette. Kyo throws it in the trash and looks at Annie. Annie didn't expect Kyo to be smoking, but she didn't mind. She got the bottle of milk and poured it into the glass. While doing it, she saw Kyo from her peripheral view. Kyo is just standing in the corner and just looking at her. Because she couldn't take what Kyo could do, she looked at Kyo and said ''What?'' Kyo just shrugged his shoulders and went towards her. She is stuck in her position because she doesn't know what she should do because Kyo was getting near to her. Her senses came when Kyo was just getting the beer on the refrigerator from her back. She immediately sighed and wanted to punch herself because she had mistaken Ky's action. ''Why are you still awake?'' Kyo asked. Annie looked at the glass of milk and also asked herself why she couldn't sleep. ''I don't know.'' Annie said. She drank the milk and looked away. ''I didn't expect you to be smoking.'' Annie said and looked at Kyo's eyes. ''It is just for today. That's what I am doing when I am thinking.'' Kyo drinks his beer and look at Annie ''But if you don't like it to stop smoking starting today.'' Annie didn't know how to react to that. Kyo threw the beer glass into the trash can and went out. She stood for many minutes thinking about what Kyo said. After that, she decided to go up. When she opened the door of her room, she saw the bear with a sunflower on her lap. The sunflower has a letter when she reads it.
I pick this from my mom's garden. Let's keep this a secret, okay? Sleep. I will protect you. Goodnight - Kyo
Annie smiled, Kyo really knew how to make her smile. She smelled the sunflower and hugged Yo the bear. She lay down on her bed and looked at the ceiling. Questioning her feelings because she didn't accept what she is feeling right now. She knows that this will lead to something else and she doesn't want that. As long as she is in danger, she has no right to fall in love. She wondered how her parents felt about each other and what happened before she was born. She bet her parents were the sweetest couple that time. She can see it when they are alive. Annie knows that her mom loves her dad and the same as her dad. Sometimes she thinks that she wanted that kind of relationship because that's what standard her dad asked. But for now, all that she needs to think about is her parents. She would do everything just to know everything about their death. She promised to herself that her life would be at peace if that happened. And she was ready for that because she expected that she would find something that would break her heart or worse. She is not scared of her own death. She is just scared that her loved ones would be involved because of the mess of her life. She needed to be stronger than before and because of that she decided to practice more self-defense. Starting today she will change and make herself strong. ''I will find your peace, Mom and Dad. I love you...''
