Chapter 8

Not Giving up with a
New Flavor
Burns asked me for
for one more container of coffee pudding so his Mom could have a taste of it and judge how good it tastes. And added there is one more thing better. A raisin on top of each bite he said and chuckled. I saw that look of longing in him again as he was leaving.
So, the following day, the coffee pud is offered on his fb page again and I have to prepare dozens again to meet the orders placed. And a new talk of the town is born. Say it with a platter of coffee pud. And our joint venture soared to unprecedented heights.
The orders are coming from popular stores like Susie's and Kabigting. It is so good to feel the success. I am so inspired to do more . And the choco pudding made a comeback some with nuts and, the newest of them all the one with raisins on top.
Once again the venture is growing which held us closely together. Thank God Life is good. No, God is good. All the time and anytime.🙏
Burns requested for other more flavors of pudding and one day surprised me with a microwave oven and this time to try cup cakes. I started one with chocolate with a sunflower on top . The color of the design perfectly contrasted the dark brown choco. Burns received an order for it to be given away on a debut party . His mom felt so proud of me introducing me as the girl of her son
And now, I miss Mama. I cannot stop a tear from falling. I miss a mother who can be proud of me, a mother who can taste the cupcakes and let me know what 's wrong with them. I thought a mother will not complete me, but a mother will make all of me.👩Now I wonder what is she like. I saw her not a beautiful woman but deep in my heart I know her heart is full of love. That,'s enough to know.and to believe.
Everything seems to work out alright. But there is this emptiness in me that I can't seem to find. And I met Dolores. She is so lovely and looked so pure. I found myself always searching for her presence, the way she smiles and even winks at me. Again I question myself who I really am. I spent a lot of time with her and this had made Burns feel neglected. He went back to his old ways drinking and joining pot sessions.
This had caused havoc to our ideal relationship. He was always in a foul mood especially when I talk about Dolly.
I started to ponder why this is all happening. Until one day , my new best friend came and said she will enter the convent and about to fulfill her vow to be a nun. So, her growing relationsip with me is a test to both of us.
I met Burns that evening and he was crying asking for forgiveness for all the bad things he has done. And we were both crying in each others arms. The thing here is that he accepted his faults and I did too. In a relationship, communication line should always be open. Grow with each other. Be humble and submissive.But always go for what is right. Love is not a matter of being the better party but to always work to become the better one. That is Our kind of love, that is Burns my love.

You're the one
sleep who never let me sleep
To my mind down to my soul
You touch my lips
You're the one that I can't wait to see
With you by my side
I'm in ecstasy
Everytime I hear our music play
Reminds me of the things
That we've been through
I feel all alone without you
My days are dark without a glimpse of you
But now you came into my life
I feel complete
The flowers bloom
My morning shines
Now I can see
Your love is like the sun
That lights up my whole world
I feel the warmth inside
Your love is like a river
That flows down through my veins
I feel the chill inside
Everytime I hear our music play
Reminds me of the things that
we've been thru
In my mind
I can't believe it's true
But in my heart. the reality is you
The days are dark without you
Everytime I hear our music play
Reminds me of the things
That we've been through
I feel all alone without you
My days are dark without a glimpse of you
But now you came into my life
I feel complete

💖💖💖💖You💖💖💖💖

You are the one
Who makes me happy
When everything else
Turns into gray.
You are the voice
Who wakes me mornings
Who sends me
into the day.
You are the crowd that sits quiet listening to me
And all the old love song goes
You are one of the few things
Worth remembering
And it seems it's all true
How could anyone
Mean more to me than
You
