Kiss Her Again

CHAPTER 1

I need to clear my mind. Mom's depression got worst and I am sickly worried about her. I walked and kept on walking. Finally, I reached the hospital. I went in and went straight to mom's ward. I found that mom was not there, maybe she went to the garden for a stroll, I thought. I kept on searching mom at the garden. She was nowhere to be found. I asked the nurses and it shocked me that they said mom got released this morning. How can I not know anything about this? I called Jason, my brother. I am glad that Jason told me he picked her from the hospital. I went straight to home.

"Why didn't anyone told me about this?" I asked. I leaned down and pecked both sides of mom's cheeks.

"I know you are busy, darling. Don't worry, Jason took a good care of me." Mom said with her sweet smile.

Frankly, I don't trust Jason. He had been depressed himself too. He tried to commit suicide several times. A year ago, he got into a car crash, he had minor wounds but his wife didn't. She died. He got so depressed handling his two twin babies by himself and a month after that he lost his job. He lost his home, car and he decided to ask mom for help with his babies. But mom's help didn't last long. Dad got a project at Colorado, but...his plane crashed. His body were not found and that's when mom got so disheartened that she tried to hurt herself. She stayed at the hospital for months. So I was in charge for taking care of the babies. Jason got a job at a site, but he was conned and he tried to kill himself one more time. He stayed in the hospital too, but not for long. I was so busy running my bakery, the babies, mom and Jason. I could possibly get depressed myself too, but I won't. I won't let myself be that way. Gabriel helps me a lot making sure that everything went well.

Gabriel. My fiancé, my best friend, my everything. He had been so patient with me and loving me endlessly even though I didn't even have any time for him. When I got too busy with my bakery, he would volunteer himself to take care of the babies. Well, he really did a great job because the twins love him so much. Jason worked for me now, delivering goods from the store and cleaning the bakery. I can see his determination at work just so he can give a better life for his babies. While I have my own mission in life.

My mission? Well despite making sure that everything went well for my family, I am saving money for my wedding. Yes, you read it right. Wedding. Gabriel finally proposed me after 3 years of this wonderful relationship. So yeah, a lady desires for a perfect wedding dress and a perfect wedding so that takes a lot of money to attain. But, at times I cried because of this wedding planning just the fact that my dad is no longer with us. I have no dad to walk with me on the aisle and pass me to Gabriel.

Mom got to bed and so did Jason with the twins. I did some of the accounting works for the bakery on the laptop. I opened my twitter account just scrolling for some funny tweets and read some blogs for a pause from the tense paper works.

"What the...is that..is that." I stuttered. I was shocked when I opened a blog of a lady named Nadine Bruin. She posted a photo of her family and I observed closely, blinking my eyes numerous times. I stare at the photo with disbelief; her dad is in fact...

"My dad??!!"
