“Here are the files you asked for ma’am.” Camila said, placing the files on her desk.
Yolanda wasn’t seated on her chair, she was standing by the window looking out through it… She could see the city from there.
She had an unreadable expression on. “Mood swing?” Camila asked, she was standing beside her right now.
Yolanda exhaled before saying. “It would have been better if that was the case.” She said and Camila smiled, she was loving this her new boss real much.
The honeymoon really did well in changing her.
“Mind sharing?” She asked and Yolanda gave her a stare before returning her gaze to the window.
Her soft sigh escaped her lips.
A while later, the two could be seen seated on the couch in her office, facing each other.
“I… I- I still don’t get this… You mean you went through all this ma’am… Whoa!! Gawd!! I’m really speechless right now…” Yolanda just finished narrating her life story to her.
“I expect you to be, but that’s not the issue right now Camila. I’m confused, I don’t if I should tell Miguel that I have a son. I don’t want a situation whereby he rejects the him. I’m helpless.” She said tiredly.
“I understand, even I’d be. But if you ask me for an an advice, I’d say you shouldn’t tell him, at least not yet….give him sometime.” She said and Yolanda creased her brows.
“Look her ma’am, you should know men finds it difficult to take care of child which isn’t theirs, tho I don’t know if Miguel is an exemption but I pray he is… So just take some time to study him first, okay.” She said and Yolanda sighed.
“You sure that’s the best thing I should do?” She asked and Camila nodded.
“Okay.” She said, closing her eyes that she failed to notice the mischievous smile on Camila’s face.
“And ma’am, you’re having a meeting by 12pm.” She said and Yolanda opened her eyes.
She suddenly remembered that Ricky’s PTA meeting is by 12pm and she told him she was gonna come.
“Can’t it be rescheduled?” She asked.
“No ma’am. We’ve been rescheduling it and if we do today, we might lose a big project.” She said and Yolanda sighed.
She’ll just call nanny Clara to represent him and she couldn’t make it.
°°°°°
Ricky sat on the flower pavement, looking sad and anxious. Today is his school’s PTA meeting and he was waiting anxiously for Yolanda.
She said she was gonna represent and besides his nanny couldn’t come. She had an appointment with her dentist. She has toothache which has been probing her.
It was already few minutes to 12pm, the meeting will be starting by 12 sharp.
He sighed out tiredly before returning his eyes to the road.
Miguel was also driving on the road, he was going to the same restaurant and it happens that school was in the same road that led to the restaurant.
As always, he was listening to a nice pop music. He probably loves listening to music while driving and currently, ‘Bam Bam’ by Camila Cabello was playing.
He kept nodding his head as well the music flowed through him. His eyes not leaving the road.
As he drove closer, he spotted his familiar figure and when drove past him, he saw his face on his side mirror.
He was right when he thought the figure as familiar. He drove back to him before parking properly, inches away from where he sat.
Ricky stared intently at the car, he couldn’t see the driver coz the car had it’s back on him but prayed inwardly for it to be his mom.
The car door opened and when he saw the shoe of the person, he knew it was a guy so he hissed loudly, looking away.
Miguel got down from his car and walked to him. “Hey kiddo.” He called and Ricky frowned before turning to face the person.
His frown only increased when he saw the familiar facellllll
“Really?” He asked with a smile, stylishly sitting beside him.
“I didn’t ask you to seat.” H rolled his eyes and Miguel chuckled.W
“I don’t think I have to seek permission from you, not like you own this place.” He said and Ricky scoffed.
“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” He asked after a short silence.
Ricky sighed sadly. “I’m waiting for my mom… Wait, why am I even telling?” He asked and Miguel chuckled.
“Let’s just say you’re telling me because I’m your friend.” He said and Ricky scoffed.
“Friend my foot. I don’t like you.” He spout and Miguel held his chest dramatically.
“That hurts.” He said and Ricky rolled his eyes.
“Whatever.”
“Okay let’s be friends, if that’s what you want.” He opened his hand for him.
Ricky looked at his hand and looked away. “C’mon don’t be a boring fish.” He said and Ricky glared.
“What’s your time there?” He asked and Miguel smiled, checking his wristwatch.
“11:58am.” He replied and Ricky sighed.
“The meeting is about to start, gosh!” He sighed.
“Could she still be at home?” He asked and Ricky shook his head in response.
“She doesn’t live with us.” He replied and Miguel furrowed his brows.
“How?”
“I grew up without my mom and dad. I live with my nanny. I just reunited with my mom and she promised to represent me today. My nanny can’t coz she has an appointment with her doctor.” He explained and Miguel smiled at his IQ.
“Why are you smiling?” He asked but Miguel shook his head.
Just then, the school gate opened and a lady probably a teacher, walked out.
“Ricky? What are you doing here?” She asked.
“I’m waiting for my mom.” He said.
“Seriously, the meeting already started. Go to class now your ain’t coming, you just have to pay the fine for not bringing your mom.” She said and he shook his head.
“Give me just 10 more minutes.” He pleaded but the teacher wasn’t ready to listen.
“Go to class now, I’ve permitted you enough.” He said and Ricky sighed knowing he can’t change his mind.
He began walking in with the teacher behind him.
“Hold on.” Miguel said as they were about to enter the school.
“What is it?” The teacher asked.
“I’ll represent him.” He said and Ricky’s eye dilated.
“Who are you to him?” The teacher asked and he itched his back head.
“Ermm… Me? I’m… I’m his dad, yes his dad… Right Ricky?” He asked and gave him an eye.
“Yes… Yes, his my dad… That was what I wanted to tell you but you didn’t wanna listen.” He said and they both smiled.
The teacher stared at both of them skeptically before shrugging.
“Okay… The meeting already started.” She said and Miguel walked to Ricky, holding his hand and they both walked into the school.
The teacher followed behind.
Marianna’s mom winced as she tried to get down the bed, she has successfully disconnected the drip attached to her hand.
She could feel the dizziness hitting hard on her as she stood on her feet but no. She refused to lie down.
Her daughter hasn’t visited her for almost a week now and you expect her to just sit down with folded hands?
No. She couldn’t. She was damn worried. Her daughter couldn’t possibly just abandon her here.
She began walking to the door, her legs shook vigorously walked there.
She was almost at the door when the door opened. A nurse walked in.
“Ma’am. What are you doing? Where are you going? Go back to bed you ain’t strong enough.” She said and the woman shook her head on disagreement.
“Pl…pls, let me go see my daughter. I have a feeling that’s she’s not fine, please.” She begged.
“No ma’am please. You should go back. Your daughter will come see you soon, she probably is trying to arrange money for your surgical bill.” She said and tried taking her back to the bed.
“Even if, my daughter won’t just abandon me, she would have come to visit… Please let me go look for her.” She pleaded.
“You can’t-”
“What can’t I? I’m telling you my daughter is danger and you don’t want me to go see her, huh?!” She shouted and she regretted doing so almost immediately, as it affected her greatly.
She held her head which was banging hard. Her heartbeat has risen.
“Pl..pls l.e.t m.e see my… daugh…” She passed out before she completed her sentence.
“Ma’am! Ma’am! Doctor! Nurses!” The nurse shouted as she squatted before her.
Immediately, doctor James rushed in.
“What! What happened to her?” He asked rushing to her, feeling her pulse.
“She was insisting to go see her daughter and when I didn’t let her, she passed out.”
“Oh no… We need to start the surgery ASAP… But where is Marianna?” He asked no one in particular.
°°°°°
“Doctor.” Fernando called immediately, he got to her ward.
The doctor was just coming out of it.
“Mr Pérez.” He called with a bright smile and Fernando smiled back.
“You said she was awake.” He said with a smile.
He was extremely happy that she survived. Thank God. He was surely not gonna be able to handle the guilt if kílling someone for the rest of his life.
“Yeah.”
“Thank God.” He muttered.
“Can- can I see her?” He asked and the doctor nodded.
“Yes, you can. See her and return back to me so we can discuss other necessities that has to be done.” He said and Fernando nodded.
The doctor left and he walked into her ward.
She was just sitting up on the bed, she held the bandaged tied on her head as she sat up.
Seems like she noticed she wasn’t only the one in the room as her eyes darted up and she saw him.
“Hi.” He said.
“Who are you and How did I get here?” She asked instead, she only remembered been pushed to the road and hit by a car.
Was he probably the one who hit her?
“You got hit by my car so I brought you here. Are you okay?” He asked and she groaned lowly.
She could still feel the pains nudging at her.
Gawd!
“I’m fine. It’s not your fault actually… I wanted to be kílled after all and if you didn’t even come, I’d have díed. Thanks for helping.” She smiled and he furrowed his brows.
“You wanted to be kílled? How?” He asked and she sighed.
She opened her mouth to speak but stopped when she suddenly remembered something.
‘Her mom!!’
“Wait. For how long have I been unconscious?” She asked, panic clearly written on her face.
“Five days.”
“Damnit!”
‘Mom, how is she?’ She thought.
“I have to go.” She said, hastily getting down from the bed but Fernando stopped her.
“Where to? You just woke up and you need to rest…”
“No I don’t need to rest… My mom’s life is more important, please let me go.” She pleaded, almost in tears.
“Your mom’s life in danger? How?” He asked with concern and she sighed before sitting back.
“My mom has cancer…” She said sadly and began explaining everything to him.
He sighed when she was done.
“I don’t even have the money for her surgery. All the money I saved up where been used to clear up the debts left by our father and mom’s ailment as a surprise to me. She was hiding it from me and when I found out it was almost late, I can’t save up her surgery bills within the few period she has.” She cried and Fernando patted her.
“It’s okay, which hospital is it?” He asked and her eyes brightened.
“STARLIGHT HOSPITAL.” She replied sharply and he nodded.
“It’s okay, let me see the doctor first.” He said and left the room.
Marianna smiled. She hopes he helps her.
“Mom.” She muttered with a smile.

“Woah- hoo!!” Ricky squealed as he went round the merry-go-round.
“Yeehe!!”
After the PTA meeting was concluded in school. Miguel took him from school, despite they haven’t closed yet.
He didn’t know why, but he just wanted to spend time with him. He felt this strange connection with him, maybe it’s because he looks like Yolanda, that’s why he got this feeling of attachment.
Right now, just like you know, they’re in an amusement park. They’ve had alot of fun and Ricky was extremely excited.
This would be his first time having this kinda fun..
“Nooo, I don’t wanna go home.” He squealed as Miguel announced to him that they were going home.
He wanted to stay long. It was really fun, he didn’t wanna go yet.
“C’mon Ricky. Your mom or nanny might be looking for you. Remember they don’t know where you are.” He said but Ricky pouted nit wanting to listen.
Miguel sighed, holding his eyes. “Okay, let’s go get ice cream.” He said and his eyes shone.
“Ice cream. Yippee!! Ice cream!!” He screamed, running to the ice cream stand.
Miguel laughed before following him. They got to the ice cream stand and he bought two cup of ice cream which they licked there.
“Here, you have ice cream stain on your cheek.” Miguel told Ricky and he arched his brows.
“Ice cream, where? Help me clean it, I can’t.” He said, showing his two hands which was holding the ice cream and spoon.
Miguel smiled before helping to clean the ice cream in his cheeks but why doing so, Ricky also applied ice cream on his on face.
“What!!”
“Yeah, you look good in it. You look like a clown.” He stuck his tongue at him and Miguel laughed.
“This kid.” He said and smiled as an idea popped in his head, he took a spoon of ice cream and splashed it on his face.
“What!” Ricky yelled and did the same.
Soon they started splashing each other ice cream, laughing and giggling.
While doing this, they mistakenly splashed the plate of ice cream on a lady who was walking towards the ice cream stand.
“Oh oh ” They muttered as the ice cream covered her face and slowly slipped down.
“Ricky… Run!!!” And immediately they began running out of there.
“Holy Christ! Wait here you two! I’m gonna kîll you today! Damnit!!” The girl shouted.
The two got to Miguel’s car and they began laughing hard.
“Gawd! That was fun!” Ricky exhaled.
“Right!” Miguel said as he turned on the cars ignition and began driving.
He opened the car’s roof and Ricky stood on his feet, sticking his head outside.
“Whoa- ho!!” He screamed, expanding his hands as the cool breeze hit him, his hair flying backwards.
“I love this!!” He screamed as they drove off.
Miguel got to nanny Clara’s with Ricky directing him.
“We’re here right.” He asked and Ricky nodded.
“Let’s go see my nanny.” He said and Miguel nodded walking with him inside.
“So we’re friends right?” He asked and Ricky smirked.
“I’m still reconsidering.” He stuck out his tongue at him.
“You naughty child.” He said as they got to the door.
“Wait here, let me inform nanny Clara first before you come in.” He said and Miguel sighed.
“Is that really necessary?” He asked and Ricky nodded.
“Wait here.” He said before going in.
“Ricky!!” They both squealed, rushing to him immediately they saw him.
“Mommy, nanny.” He called with a smile.
Actually, nanny Clara had gone to pick Ricky from school as always but when she got there today, she was told that his dad had come pick him up.
She tried rectifying to them the mistake but they were very sure his dad came to pick him up. They also told her that he attended the PTA for him.
Being perplexed and puzzled, she called Yolanda and informed her.
After searching for sometime they decided to come wait till evening before placing a complain to the police.
And now he was here…
“Ricky!” Nanny Clara was the first to hug him before Yolanda.
“Where have you been?” She asked him, looking kinda worried.
“I just went out to have fun with him, he’s a friend.” He said with a big smile.
“He?” Nanny Clara questioned.
“Did he say he was your dad?” Nanny Clara asked and he nodded.
“That’s what he said but he was lying actually. He only said so he could represent me in the PTA meeting.” He explained and they exhaled.
“I kinda wish he is my dad, yunno.” He said and they widened their eyes.
“Yes, actually he’s at the door nanny, come see him… My new friend.” He said, dragging their both hands as he walked out of the house.
Yolanda’s mind wondered who it could be as she was been taken outside.
For some reason, she kinda anxious and curious.
Ricky opened the door and it revealed…
