Soulful Eyes (book 2, Missing Piece adaptation)

Chapter 75

BEATRIZ

Galing ako kay Jho and I went straight to the house. Only to get treated by this....

"I'm asking, kumain ka na ba?"

Hindi sumasagot si Cait sa mga tanong ko. I took a deep breath before speaking

"Galing ako kay Jho, I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry"

She just keeps on fixing Caleb's clothes in the closet; para lang akong hangin dito

"Pinag-usapan lang namin ang tungkol sa mga bata"

"Uuwi kana sainyo" Cait

"Caitlin...."

"Madali lang naman sa'yong gawin yun eh, ang iwan kami hindi ba?" Cait then looks at me

"No, of course not"

"Hindi ko alam kung pano ko ipapaliwanag kay Caleb lahat, Bea" Cait and there's a tear dropping from her eyes

I then put her in my embrace and let her rest on me

Malaki ang utang na loob ko kay Caitlin. Hindi ako mabubuo ulit if it wasn't for her. And I also feel happy with her, especially when she brought Caleb out of this world.

Random day

JHOANA

Today is mom's birthday, aattend kami ngayon kasama ko mga kids and yaya. May present din kaming binili for mom, just a wallet from Gucci

"Grandma, here's our present for you" masayang saad ni Bella at binigay yun kay mom

"Awww thank you so much mga apo, Jho thank you" mom

"Happy birthday, mom. Sila pumili niyan hehe"

"Salamat salamat. Uhmm Jho, halika muna dito" mom and gently pulled me away from the kids

"Is it ok with you kung aattend si Bea dito?" mom

"Ah oo naman po. Today's your day, dapat lang na kasama mo siya"

Medyo nagkaayos na kasi kami ni mom, nag start yun nung tumagal na akong naninilbihan sa company

BEATRIZ

I was going to bring Caleb with me, but he suddenly had a fever, so I left him at home instead. Today is mom's birthday nga pala

I'm sure nandito sila Jho kaya excited akong pumunta eh. Makikita ko ulit si Nolan lalo na yung bunso namin ni Jho si Bella. The guests were obviously surprised when they saw me pero hindi ko nalang pinansin dahil hinahanap ng mga mata ko sila Jho

"Dada!" Nolan at yumakap siya sa'kin

"Tangkad mo na talaga, anak ah"

"Dada, momma is with grandma. But please, don't fight again" Nolan

"Yes, that's why I'm looking for the three of you. Where are they?"

"Come with me, dad" Nolan at hinila ako

"Oh be careful ha? You're injured remember"

"Don't worry, dad. It's not masakit na" Nolan

"Nolan, kahit pa"

THIRD PERSON

After mag-usap ni Det at Jho ay nagpabuhat si Bella kay Jho dahil naglalambing, sakto namang dumating si Nolan kasama si Bea na hila-hila niya
