Chapter Twenty One
Tyler had his heart stuck in his mouth when he stormed into the hospital. Random reflections skimming through his mind as he walked pass the reception. He caught a peek of Kara seating at the waiting area and he walked close to her. Kara turned when she heard vast and quick footsteps. She sough in relief when she saw Tyler. She swung around to the other side, beaconing him to seat beside her. "Kara what happened?"Tyler said, standing above Kara. The sad look on her face was enough explanation that everything is not fine, but apparently she'd have to let Tyler in, especially to why his father slumped and why she's seated here. "He was reading at the balcony when he slumped. I had to bring him down here" Kara said, without looking into Tyler's eyes. "Slumped? What could be wrong with him?" "The doctors said, its because he had a heart attack" Kara said and her tone damped. Tyler's eyes broadened when Kara mentioned 'Heart attack' Johnson must have been a workaholic all his life,

Chapter Twenty Two
Its the D-day. The day Johnson will be buried. Tyler hasn't had a decent sleep ever since the day the doctor broke the news of his father's demise to him. It feels like he's hearing voices whenever he closes his eyes and sometimes he wakes up with tears in his eyes. But he'd be layed to rest today. Tyler doesn't know what to expect. Only a few people know Johnson as a famous and wealthy man. That isn't a determinant to how rancorous his funeral will be though. Not like its a beach party or something. Just the funeral of a noble man who pass away - at the wrong time. *** Tyler walked out of the house. He peeked at the surrounding in a single gaze before he walked to the back. His heart tightened in fear of the unknown. Everything felt so unusual and weird and he needed to clear his head for a while before he departs to the funeral venue. He ascended the stairs that led to the rooftop. His father's rooftop. He had a clear view of the blue sky, he squint his eyes a bit as the sun ill

Chapter Twenty Three
Dear Will, You were awesome on the last episode of the STAR TV SERIES. It was so satisfying to see your character delve out of an abusive home. At first, it was difficult, but at least you have your freedom. Freedom against your abusive father who takes delight in attaching punches to your pale face. You gained freedom away from your junkie mother who pops prescription pills like champagne in a strip club. I enjoyed that part of the series because it portrays your character in a positive and growing light. And yet, you're always grabbing the stake by the edge. I wish I was in the same disposition with your character too. I wish I could swing into freedom, away from the pains that comes from losing a loved one. Yes Will. My father is dead. Don't laugh.I wish it was a joke too, but sadly its not, and I'm still hoping someone will wake me up from this nightmare. I was at the company when I got a call from Kara. She told me he slumped, and he was taken to the hospital. Will, do yo

Chapter Twenty Four
Tyler squinted his eyes as he let go of the door. He paused at the entrance gazing into space. Ions of thoughts running through his mind. He took a step forward when he heard noises coming from Kara's room. He's been in his late father's house for over a week now. It felt like enough time to mourn the deceased. But no amount of time is enough to grief. They'll always be remembered, and when they are - the heart will have a reason to constrict. Tyler walked past Kara's room. Feet stumping the stairs, he cascaded the stairs striding into the gigantic living room. He resolved his gape on the atmosphere. He approached the sofa. He wanted to indulge in one of his guilty pleasures - googling Keke Palmer's pictures, but he shrugged the thought off his mind. The TV was on and he thought it was the right time to catch up with his favorite TV show - the STAR TV SERIES. The show was about to be concluded though. He reached for the remote. He switched to the channel, and just in - Kara storme

Chapter Twenty Five
Kara lips pouted into a silent 'wow' at the sound of Tyler's voice. It felt like he just said the dumbest thing ever. She broke eye contact, hunching her head in awe. She tried to speak, but every attempt ended in inaudible noises. "Are you sure about that?" she said, not sure what his answer will be. Tyler moved closer to her - filling the little space that was between them. He placed his hand on her shoulder - staring into her eyes as chaotic breathes evaded her lips. "Yes Kara. I want you to be there with me. You’re so intelligent, I need people like you around me. I don’t want to make mistakes. i need you around me to solidify that” Tyler said. He placed his hand around her face, engulfing her cheek in his palm. “Please come and join me” A sigh flew of Kara’s lips for the umpteenth time. Her heart missed a beat. She still doesn’t know what reply to give to him. She shrugged for a moment as her heart thumped so fast like it'll fall of her chest. She felt the responsibility Tyle
