Chapter 19 - Our Date

"Mommy hurry up!" Hikaru said as he start pushing me out of my room.

"What is it?" I asked when I went outside and saw Saginsia with a flower in his hands.

"Saginsia, What is this for?" I asked as I accept the flowers when he smiled.

"Can you be my date for this upcoming ball?" He asked as I remember that it was about to be his mother's 60th birthday.

"Yeah sure," I said as he smiled knowing that there will be a lot of press at that time and I am deeply aware that there is an upcoming interview.

"Will you be okay Mommy?" Hikaru asked since they knew about my trauma. I also explained with Saginsia what happen when I was a kid.

When we were at a ball with my parents the press ran info me without knowing that I am their daughter I almost died out of suffocation that day as I was confused about the cameras anywhere.

That is why I never had my public appearance in front of the press.

"Yeah, I will be okay. I should be asking you guys if you are okay with this kind of life." I said as they both smiled.

"It's not that hard Mommy, Sir Robert is also there to protect us so we don't need to worry about anything," Hikari said as I look at Robert as he smiled.

He must have done something for the twins to trust him.

"Say Saginsia can I go meet Pearl?" I asked since it's been 11 years already I bet that kid did grow a lot now.

"She's currently in France for a meeting but we can visit her home. Her Mom is around." He said as I agreed since I want to ask them a lot of stuff.

We didn't take the twins with us, as we arrive at Pearl's house.

I almost drop my jaw when I saw how huge their house is just as huge as Saginsia's mansion.

"You did this?" I asked as he shake his head as he assist me out of the car.

"They did this by themselves," he answered as he smiled. "This won't happen if it wasn't for you," he added, and when we enter the house Pearl's mother assists us in the living room as they prepared tons of food.

"We are really lucky that day Mrs. Dela Fernandes if it wasn't for you our life would be a total mess." She said as I kindly smiled and told her not to worry about it.

"It was really nothing I swear I just did it out of kindness, Say that auction is it still going on?" I asked Saginsia as he stopped eating and face me.

"Yes since that is one of the ways that the people live there. You must have not known about it why Pearl and her mother got into that auction." He said as I look at Pearl's Mom.

"Why?" I asked as she sigh.

"It must be rude for not letting you know but Pearl and I are in huge debt and since we cannot pay it anymore we decided to sell ourselves off in that auction and you were kind enough to buy us and set us free."

"Why would you have such a big debt?" I asked as she smiled sadly.

"You must notice that Pearl has no father anymore. Her father was sick we tried to do everything to save him and promised to pay for the money that we borrowed but her father still died, in the end, we decide to give up and sell ourselves at the auction since that is one way for us to continue living."

"And you're okay about your daughter being sold out?" I asked and I know that it offended her a bit as she smiled sadly.

"Yes, I am a bad mother as you could see." She said.

"I regret it every day," she added. "It must be hard for you," I said since as a Mom I also felt that way too.

"Yes, It was really hard and devastating at the same time," she answered.

"I heard you have a twin, How are they?" she choose to change the topic as I smiled and told her that they are both doing great.

"They must be lucky having you guys as their parents," she said as we both smiled and talk about a lot of stuff together until its time to say goodbye.

When we left I was tired and didn't notice that I slept in the car.

The moment I woke up I just saw the stars around me. I felt like the whole galaxy is around me as I notice Saginsia looking at me.

"Why are we here? Why aren't we home?" I asked as he smiled.

"As you could see the twins gave me a bit of advice for our first date," he said as my heart start to beat fast.

What's wrong with me?

Am I sick?

"I don't think that I feel good Saginsia," I whispered as he look worried about me.

"Why? Shall we go to the nearest hospital?" he asked as I was clueless myself too. "My heart is beating faster, What should I do? Am I sick?" I asked as he looked shocked and start laughing hard.

Fallin' out, fallin' in

Nothing's sure in this world no, no

Breakin' out, breakin' in

Never knowin' what lies ahead

We can really never tell it all no, no, no

"What's so funny?!" I asked as he just look at me.

Say goodbye, say hello

To a lover or friend

Sometimes we

Never could understand

Why do some things begin then just end

We can really never tell it all no, no, no

"It's just your cute when you're acting innocent." He said.

But oh, can't you see

That no matter what happens

Life goes on and on

So Oh baby, please smile

Coz I'm always around you

And I'll make you see how beautiful

Life is for you and me

What's wrong with him? Why does his smile make it beat even faster?

"I guess the twins are right." He said as he lean closer to me.

"Write about what?" I asked when he kissed me.

Take a little time baby

See the butterflies color's

Listen to the birds that were sent

To sing for me and you

Can you feel me

This is such a wonderful place to be

"You're as red as a tomato did you know that?" he asked as my hands tremble.

Even if there is pain now

Everything would be all right

For as long as the world still turns

There will be night and day

Can you hear me

There's a rainbow always after the rain

Ohh, whoa

"You're heart is beating faster than you could even imagine it's because..."

I was waiting for him to tell me more about it when his phone rang and it was the twins who wanted to do some face time.

"Hey there you guys," Saginsia said as Hikari and Hikaru looked like they were waiting for us.

"You promised that you will be back before night and what time is it now Daddy!" Hikari said and she sounds like an old lady.

"Yeah I'm very sorry, Do you like something for us to bring?" Saginsia asked as Hikaru asked for strawberry cake and we did buy them.

When we got home we saw the twins in the living room sleeping I smiled and got the help of Robert on putting them in their room as Saginsia went back to work.

"There must be something good that happens on your first date," Robert said as I touched my chest. Maybe Robert knew the answer to this.

Life's full of challenges

Not all the time do we get what we want

But don't despair my dear coz I know now

You'll take each trial and you'll make it through the storm

Coz you're strong my faith in you is clear

So ill say once again this world is wonderful and

Let us celebrate the life that's so beautiful, so beautiful

Ohhhh

"My heart starts beating fast," I said as Robert smiled and was about to leave the room when I stopped him.

"Tell me Robert what does it mean?" I asked as he smiled.

"Why are you smiling?"

"Isn't it obvious why are you acting like that?" he said.

Take a little time Baby

See the butterflies' colors

Listen to the birds that were sent

To sing for me and you

Can you feel me

This is such a wonderful place to be

Even if there is pain now

Everything would be all right

For as long as the world still turns

There will be night and day

Can you hear me

There's a rainbow always after the rain

I stopped when I remember that this is how I felt with Andy that time when he start to help me with my wound.

Am I in love?
