The Virgin Mother ✔

How everything happened

It was designed that way. Her, being the mother, and him, being the father.
It was destined that they'll meet each other again.. to continue the love that wasn't continued.

It was a tragic story that made Aurora Salamangca, one of the longest living witch and the godmother of love and children, to somehow remake a story that will have them end up in the future. Virginia Marie, and Ivo Lorenzo are the reincarnation of their ancestors. They are the direct descendants of them.

It's close to Romeo and Juliet romance story, where the two lovers came from feuding families. Since we're in the modern world, feuding companies are the problem. Funny, isn't it?

It was one of the most tragic love story that Aurora has seen, where the woman knew that she was pregnant with the man's child. The woman's parents knew it, and went to kill the man, by the woman's father. Heartbroken and enraged, the news reached her, and she met her end by jumping from the cliff, falling to the sea.
Aurora ought to end this in a much better way although the child only had to live for a few years.
The child wasn't really meant to live that long.. the good witch still gave the child a chance to live and experience the world.

No one knew this, only Aurora.

"So.. Angelo's your biological son? How?" Ivo's face is blank. No expression at all, but his voice is calm. "Love, akala ko ba walang sikreto? Even how busy our life is, sana sinabi mo naman sa akin kahit ito lang."

"I'm sorry.. people would think I'm crazy and delusional if I tell them how I had Angelo. He.. he came from this necklace," Pinakita ko sa kanya ang nakatagong pendant ng kwintas ko. "This is an antique necklace I bought that night. Kinaumagahan, nakita ko ang bata. He insisted that he came from a this. The night I bought it, this space here was for a baby angel but it was gone."

"Only daddy believed me. Now that he's in comatose, it felt like I don't have anyone." I sobbed. Ngayon lang lumabas lahat ng gusto kong iiyak. It was painful for me to bear that my father is coma and two of my dear friends left me.

"What about me? Nandito naman ako ah," I looked at him. Again, my tears fell. "I believe in what you say, because I trust you. And I have known this, even before I applied into your company." My sobbing stopped. I frowned a bit.

"Some woman told me that I should apply in your company. She said that I should try my best to court you and make you mine because someday, we'll have a family. Sinabi pa nga niya na wag kong isiping baliw ang babaeng liligawan ko kahit na anuman ang sabihin niya tungkol sa anak mo, kasi ako naman ang ama. Guess what, I didn't know her, but I followed it anyway. Wala namang nawala sa akin.. I even gained something." He smiled. "Smile now, love. I'm here for you."

When I thought of ending my life, I remembered Ivo. He made me realize things. He made me feel that living is something to be treasured.. something to be cherished.

Niyakap ako ni Ivo. Ang sarap-sarap niyang magmahal. I never thought he'll be my first boyfriend.. the first man I'll love, and I'll never regret it.

"Gusto nga ni papa na bisitahin ang daddy mo. He wanted to apologize. And your mom.. she left my father. Hindi ko alam kung saan siya nagpunta pero kumuha raw siya ng pera mula kay papa ng higit-kumulang isang milyon."

"I don't want to know about her. I'm disinterested, anyway."

"Rie.. love, no matter what, she's still your mother."

"I know, pero dati ko pa binura sa alaala ko na mayroon pa pala akong ina. Let's visit daddy?"

He sighed and smiled. "Sure.. let's go?"

P.S. Hindi na po magre-reincarnate si Angelo. Tapos na talaga ang oras niya sa mundo.
