The Place I Really Belong (When He Realized Series 1)

CHAPTER 19

Made in Greece

“Aaaand? What happened next?” I shrugged my shoulders and gave her a playful smile

“Don’t use that on me Klerah. So, what happened after your wedding?” I just chuckled at her

“I’ll just tell you next time, Erina. I have to go” Erina is a Filipino living here in Zürich. We’ve met in Grindelwald when she’s touring around and then we became friends. We’re here at Lounge la Délicatesse Resto – bar that is owned by Atlas, after we delivered my paintings to the buyers living here in Zürich. I sell my paintings online and she’s helping me when it comes to talking and meeting to my buyers personally because some buyers are connected to Lucas.

“You better! Nabitin ako, kakainis ‘to. Ingat sa pag uwi, Bye!” I smiled as I waved my hand to her

“You too. Bye!”

I walked out from the resto-bar right after.

It’s been years since I get away...

I drove my car to go home at Grindelwald. It’s an almost two hour drive way from here to there. I decided to stay there dahil nagagandahan ako sa paligid unlike here in Zürich na almost building tho it’s still really a pretty place.

I bitterly smile as I remember the first man I ever loved. It’s supposed to be our third year but things happened...

Funny that I can talk about him now after that traumatic experienced I’ve had.

I thought of coming back home, coming back to my family, to him.... But I have to protect myself just like what I said before. I’ll leave in order to be safe and protect myself because he can't do it for me.

But I guess I had enough time already and my plans worked out perfectly. You’ll get to see me again. I smirked as I thought about his reaction when I get back alive and kicking and oh! With a surprise

“Klers, you sure you’re going back next month?” asked by Atlas when I got home. Tumaas ang kilay ko sakanya bago siya sagutin

“Yups, why?”

“You sure?” I can't suppress my smile

“Yeah Atlas, It’s been a while” Atlas chuckled.

“If you say so. By the way, they’re already asleep. Napagod yata kalalaro, maagang bumagsak” I laughed lightly

“Kumain na ba?”

“Oo naman. Kumain ka na rin”

“Thanks Atlas”

“No problem. I gotta go, ya know my girls are waiting” Napailing na lang ako sa sinabi ni Atlas. Hay, di pa rin nagbabago

“Tsk. Masyado mo namang sinusulit single life mo” he just laughed at me tsaka naglakad na papunta sa sasakyan niya

I go to our room before I eat and take a bath. They're sleeping soundly next to each other. I caressed their faces lightly and smiled when Luca hugged my hand on his face.... Just like your father, huh? I looked at Kahlea, she’s sleeping so serene while hugging her brother. I stayed staring at my twins when I felt a lone tear escape from my eye

I can’t help but to think, what could be our life if that doesn’t happen.

After I took a bath and eat. I get my phone and laptop before heading out to our veranda. I checked if there are any important messages and there, I saw messages from different buyers of my paintings.
