Guide me to the Moon - Project #1 (Freen and Becky re-imagined stories)

Project #1 - Part 17

Freen sneeze again as she reach out for the box of tissue in the table to blow her nose. Her body has caught up with all the sleepless nights that she endure just to keep her promise to Becky. She was able to be okay until the night of her baby's graduation but as soon as they got home to Becky's condo unit, her body gave in — she had fever and runny nose.

"Do you want hot tea?" Becky asked as she check on Freen's temperature.

"No. I prefer soup."

"Okay naka." She said looking at the temperature monitor. Her body temperature is not that high now.

"Would you cook for me?" She asked while blowing her nose again.

"No. But I will cook for you soon when we have bigger space. My condo is small and doesn't fit kitchen."

Freen look around in disbelief.

Is this small?

She wanted to ask but she stop herself. She realized how the concept of small space is very different when you are born rich like Becky Armstrong.

"I order soup for you." She announced.

"Thank you, Baby."

"But look who is baby now." She said as she sat next to Freen that is currently curled up in the sofa. She adjusted her position to lay her head to Becky's lap.

"My head hurts." She said in her cutest voice ever.

Becky took that as a cue to massage Freen's forehead.She is multitasking, one hand massaging Freen and the other hand is scrolling to her tiktok.

"Are you still using that account?" Freen asked but her eyes are close.

"You mean the fan account? Uhmmmm ...Y-yes." She admitted but a little bit embarrased about it.

She saw Freen smile.

"Do you know if your fans already know about us? I saw some of the fans already dig to my profile.."

"Probably." She said and open her eyes to look at her. "I will announce it to them soon so they will know about us eventually. They've been with me since the very beginning, I think they deserve to know my truth."

She nods in agreement.

"Do you think they will understand and more accepting?" Becky asked carefully. She is also weighing the pros and cons as she wanted to love freely but she also want Freen's happiness.

"I hope so. But if not, thats okay too. I already completed all my prior commitments. I'm free." There is bitter smile on her face.

Freen is now in the office of Mr. Armstrong. She was planning to meet him soon but because she got sick it was postpone until today. He is very hard to get hold on his schedule but they were able to work things out and she got an hour of his time today.

"Freen, how are you? I'm delighted that you want to meet me." He said smiling but his eyes looks around and he did not find Becky.

"I came here alone sir. I am meaning to meet you without Becky."

His aura become serious when he realize that this meeting will discus some serious agenda. He stayed quiet and wait for Freen to start.

"Sir, I would like to thank you for taking care of my issue with regards to my contract. You saved me from all the damages."

"Did Becky knows that you knew already? She does not want you to feel burden because of our help. Just think about it as we extend our hand because we see you as our daughter too."

"Thank you." She was touched by the sincerity of Mr. Armstrong.

"Thats not a problem. We are happy to help and I want you to ask for help when you need it, okay?"

His words warm her heart. She usually don't feel good receiving some help but with Becky and her family, she feels at home. They never made her feel like a burden to help her unlike to his own biological Dad.

"Anything else?" He asked.

Freen look at him and finally mustered up all the courage to ask. "Can I marry your daughter?"

Mr. Armstrong was stunned for a minute. He was shocked and can not say anything.

"I can wait if you think that it is not yet time. I know Becky is still young but I just want to be clear with my intentions." Freen back track a little bit. She is willing to wait but her goal remains.

"No, no. I mean I'm just surprise thats why I have no words now but if Becky say yes, then we will support you."

She was relieve.

"I just have a small ask for you, Freen."

"Anything sir."

"Please take care of my daughter and our business. We are not getting any younger so we just want her to settle and make sure that she will survive this cruel world. She has no interest of the business and I respect that but you should know that there are people behind this business that we take care of. I hope you continue our legacy but if not, please take care of the people behind it before you let go of it."

She nods her heard. She also does not have any idea of business but she felt in her heart that she wants to take care of the things that the family values.

"I understand sir. I promise I will take care of Becky and the people behind your success."

He smiled. He just know that Freen is a good match with her daughter and to his family the moment he saw her in the picture. He recognize a potential good connection between the two so he played cupid and let them meet. He could've ask his most trusted employee to take care of Freen but he choose it to be Becky.

"Good. So, do you have a ring already? What is the plan for your proposal? I think we should call Mom, don't you think?" He becomes giddily and excited.

Freen heart is so happy now. She is so happy that she had found her home.
