EPISODE 25
Aisha decided to the pmansion with Ethan and Eli. She decided to stay for the meantime. This time, she won’t allow her emotion to control her anymore. She will finish her mission for her sister. But she has a greater reason for going back. Seems like there’s a lot of things that she didn’t know, especially towards her sister. She must uncover them.
She also nee-ds to stay beside Ethan. She has to solve the incoming danger in Ethan’s life — the Hertiz. she has some plans but she nee-ds some hands. She also nee-ds to attend Eli’s birthday Celebr@tion. Then After sorting out everything, she will find Stacy herself.
About Ethan sleeping with Angel, she’s actually doubting the reliability of Angel’s claim. She went to that Resto-bar with Caleb since he insisted to investigate further. According to Caleb, Men can’t have s-× with anyone especially when they’re totally drunk. Their manhood will not be awakened if that’s the case. Aisha didn’t mind actually but Caleb pulled her. According to the bartender, Ethan was definitely drunk that he dozes off to sleep.
Aisha still has her doubts but maybe time can prove what really happened. Anyway, it’s not one of her concerns anymore. She just want to finish everything then go back to her simple life before — is it really a simple life? She sighed.
Aisha cannot sleep. Ethan was in his study room too so she decided to go to the libr@ry to pick something to read. When she was about to go back to their room, she saw that the door to Ethan’s study room was opened. She sneaks inside. She can see Ethan’s back. She accidentally pushed the door, it opened wide. Ethan looked at her.
“I-I’m sorry!” she uttered.
“You have something to say? Come in.” he invited her. Aisha stepped in but she suddenly halted when she saw a familiar thing at Ethan’s hands.
“W-where did you get that br@celet”? She asked Ethan in surprise.
“Don’t you remember? You gave this to me when we were still in the orphanage. You also have my precious anklet, however, you said you lost it.” Ethan’s cold voice echoed in her ears. She cannot believe what she just heard.
“E-Ethan? The Ethan that I knew…. M-My Ethan was him all along? No! it can’t be true! …” her mouth can’t simply utter the words in her mind. her knees trembled. She shuddered unknowingly. It’s a relief that the wall was there to support her. she leaned.
“Is he really my childhood friend Ethan? But how did it happen?” her mind was in chaos. She accidentally dropped the book that she was holding a while ago.
Ethan saw her uneasiness. He irks. He slowly walked towards her. “Woman, is there something you want to tell me”?
Aisha didn’t hear him clearly. There’s a lot of things in her mind right now, then she remembered the day she gave him his br@celet.
*FLASHBACK:*
Her bu-tterfly br@celet was a gift from her mom during her 5th birthday. Emily (now the original Stacy) received a dolphin ne-cklace. Back then in the orphanage, Erika (now Aisha) saved Ethan from drowning into the river when they had their children’s day. Emily, due to her heart condition has to stay in the orphanage along with some children who have special nee-ds. She cannot attend children’s day special since they have to hike the mountainous forest just to reach the said Stand-alone river, but her twin sister went with the other children.
Back then, a new boy was with them. He can’t swim so when he accidentally sli-ps his foot and fell into the river, Erika jumped without hesitation to save the boy. They latter soon became friends in a short span of time. when an Old man was about to take Ethan away from the orphanage, Erika gave her erfly br@celet and in exchange Ethan gave his anklet that her mother pas-sed down to him. they promised that they will soon find each other when they grow up.
“how could this happen? What a small world after all! Why does it has to be him? her sister’s husband? Why why why?!” she’s freaking out. She spaced out. She didn’t know that Ethan was holding her shoulders.
“Hey! Stacy! Are you okay?” he shook her to bring her back to her senses.
“I- I am O-okay…” she said dejectedly. “I’m just tired. I’ll go to sleep first.” Then she exited the room. she teared up while going back to their room.
Aisha opened a small box hidden in her things. She placed some of the valuable things inside, including an infinity anklet. She held it close to her heart..
“It was never lost. It was with me all along.” She sobbed. She quickly hides it away when the door suddenly opened. Ethan walked in. Aisha fixed herself then she laid in the bed quickly. Ethan looked at her but said nothing.
How can he tell her everything without losing her? He was in de-ep thought.
“I didn’t know that she saw me in my study room while I was holding the bu-tterfly br@celet that she gave me when we were young. I know she remembered it base on her facial reaction. She is clearly in shock. Didn’t she know that I am her childhood friend? Then, she should know it by now.
The bu-tterfly br@celet.
I can still remember everything. It’s very clear in my mind. I have engrave her memory in my mind and in my heart. I can’t possibly forget about her. She gave me a chance to live again. She became my strength in those times. If it’s not because of her then I wouldn’t be the person I am right now. I owe all my success to her. That’s why I vowed that day to be with her for the rest of my life no matter what.
*FLASHBACK:*
“I don’t want to be in that orphanage!” Ethan yelled.
“Then would you prefer to live in the streets with those thu-gs out there?” His uncle threatened him. Ethan shook his head.
He doesnt have a choice. His uncle doesnt want to raise him either. His uncle said that he can’t raise him along with his 5 kids. Its too much of a burden. Ethan cried along the way but he cannot do anything about it.
He stepped out the car. He can see a lot of children younger than him and older than him. It would be a whole new world for him. He’s not into socialization. He is usually aloof. So how could young Ethan manage to live in this new world.
Well, no matter what, he nee-ds to survive anyway. However, surviving means getting used with the bullies in the orphanage. Young Ethan doesn’t know how to fight back so he took all the insults they threw at him. But who would know that those times would come to an end.
It was the orphanage special outing day. Everyone was required to join the 3 nights camp at Violet Mountain,. They have to hike 3 hours before they arrived. Ethan was not use to do physical activities, he doesn’t even know how to swim. More of his childhood days was focused more on studying. He is definitely brilliant. Books were his only bestfriends when his parents were both alive.
Some boys do crazy things to him, he tried to avoid them but to no avail.
He was about to set hia foot in a bamboo bridge but one of the boys pushed him. He lost his balance and he fell on the river below. He was struggling for his life. Suddenly, a hand caught him and swim towards a safe rock. Ah! safe atlast! He was able to breath de-eply.
“Thank you for saving me.” He mumbles trembling. He lift his eyes to see who was his savior but to his big surprise he saw a little girl drench in water.
What? A girl saved me!? What a shame! He thought. After a while the teacher with the children came down to see them.
“How are you? Are you okay?” The teacher asked Ethan. He nods.
“And you Erika, don’t do that agai—–” the teacher was cut off when Erika attacked another boy. The boy was laughing at Ethan since he fell out from the river. Anger was very visible in Erika’s eyes.
Everyone witnessed Erika landed a ha-rd punch on the kid’s face. His head twirk. Then she kicked his balls.
“Erika! Stop it at once!” The teacher shouted but it seems like she didn’t hear it.
“You!” Erika pointed to the boy who was curling in pain on the ground. She was so mad. “Don’t ever do that again! Not with that boy and not to anyone else! Do you think that pushing him into the river is a joke!!” She yelled at the kid. The boy wide-ned his eyes. Did she see them do it?
“Jordan? Did you push Ethan?” The teacher asked seriously..
Erika glared at him. “Dare to lie, I’ll make sure to cut your tongue as well!”
“I-I … We, we were just having fun teacher! Him, falling on the river is an accident!” Jordan lied. However, he was slapped in the cheek after his statement.
“You!” Jordan glared at Erika. Erika sm-irk.
“That is for your lies! I saw you guys push him and was laughing at him when he was drowning!” Erika defended.
“Erika! Stop that! And you jordan and friends for your punishment, you will be the janitors for the whole 3 days camp. And you are not allowed to sleep unless you wash all the dishes..”
“What! No!” The bully boys shouted in unison.
Then they continued hiking. Erika noticed that Ethan was always alone. So she decided to stay with him. They stick with each other for that 3 days camp, they became friends.
Erika became his anchor. She was always there for him. Whenever those bully boys tried to approach Ethan, Erika was always there to rescue him. That moment on they became inseparable. No one tried to bully him anymore.
“Try to punch ha-rder! Punch like a man!” Erika yelled at him. She was trying to teach him some punch moves.
“It hurts!” Ethan answered.
“You’ll get use to it soon.” She as-sured her. “How could you protect yourself from someone in the future?” She stated.
“You will be there to protect me right?” He grinned.
“Ahh! You’re hopeless! You’re the man, you should be protecting me.” She teased him.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get stronger when I grow up. Then from that moment on I will protect you.” He boasted.
“You must!” Erika laughed.
