Dia's apartment.
"I'm already on my way out, ma."
Dia said to the door, turning the knob to lock it. Then she turned away from the door of her room and began to walk through the passage which led to the parlour, the sitting room.
"Mma?"
She called, standing in the middle of the parlour and looking towards the kitchen. She couldn't find her grandma. Her face became contoured.
"I'm sorry for being a bitch these past few days, not getting to check on you. I'll make it up to you today. I'll come home with the best food you like. The same you've not had --"
She stopped talking. It seemed as though she had only been talking to herself.
"Mma? Where could she had gone this morning?"
She stood at that spot for a while thinking. She was running late for work. Twas already past 10 and her student would be waiting for. She had some preparations to make for them. There was a new contest.

A simple dish of pork fried noddles. But all he had been able to do was just keep tapping the fork on the plate, playing with the handle before the distraction."Sorry?"He said, looking at the blonde standing before him. She smiled and said,"You were talking to yourself. Not just talking, but talking loud. I thought it would be nice if I let you know."That was rather polite. More polite than he had ever heard Dia speak to him, yet he couldn't see her, all he could see was Dia. And even if he wanted to do a thing, twas just too late. Next week was the big day."Are you listening?"The lady came on again and he snapped back to reality,"Sorry, I was creepy. Didn't know I was think

Same."Max."He heard the weak call and looked up from his phone. Twas Mma, she had just opened her eyes again. He looked quickly at his phone again, twas 5:03Pm."You're awake."He said, meaning to stand."No, sit."She said again, looking at him. Her face with based wrinkles tuning to the eyelids. He asked hastily, but quite with demands and concern,"Is there anything you need me to do for you?"He wasn't sure if that was the right question. He hadn't really gone to sit by anyone in the hospital. Never in his life. But he was ready to play the role as best as he could."No... Wh-here is Dia?"She asked. He had expected that to be her first question, yet there was no cause for being jumpy."Oh, Dia. Yea she went home to grab few things. And she needed to change too. She wanted me to go but I insisted on staying here with you till she arrive. She should be back i

The Saturday of that week before the wedding."Have you had all necessary things in place? I wouldn't want any problem at all? Nor a mistake."Claire said, looking sternly at the slender but good looking lady in red gown seated beside her on the two seater couch. They were in the second parlour. The parlour you've never heard of.The lady was the one in charge of the planning of the wedding ceremony. And she ought to give account of the things which were in place or ought to be in the proper place.Rowe was seated too but was sliding his finger through the screen of his apple iPad. He occasionally looked up from the phone.Max was seated opposite Rowe. He was seated in the position where he could hold all of them in his gaze. He heard the lady say after sorting out some of the packages before her."Yes we have. I've gotten to all who need to be available. Do not worry, like we agreed last week, the vendor

Rowe's apartment."Do you have a plan?"Lancy passed Dia a tissue, which she folded and used on the side her lips. She dropped the used tissue on the makeup table and peered into the mirror. Thinking probably her presence, that annoying portrayal of herself in the mirror would come alive that day. At least twas her big day. The most anticipated day. Her wedding. Call it a nuptial shindig.She looked at Lancy through the mirror and shook her head in denial, then she wielded words to complement the expression,"Not really. But I already have papers booked. I'll go to Grandma firstly then leave Seattle for the meantime. Till all the shit dies down."Lancy made a sound of agreement deep in her throttle and resumed the make-up routine. She was almost done. She had applied the foundation and was going with the overlay, before the finishing touch."You don't really have to be this serious on the make-up thing. It's b

On the way."I'm thirsty."Dia let the words out finally. Amidst all the ranting of Rowe and unnecessary strays of subjects, that was the only thing she could think of. She couldn't believe that she forgot to drink water after eating three cupcakes."Is that all you would say to all he has been saying?"Claire attacked, though trying to tame her gaze which had almost melted into a glare. Rowe came on,"Com'on Claire, don't be like that to our bride. I don't know why you two don't get along real smoothly. But I'm certain that as soon as she bears our grandson, you wouldn't help fancying each other."There was a brief but unusual silence. Then suddenly, Rowe glared at one of the henchmen seated opposite them in the limo and raised his voice,"Do you need it to be formal!"The fellow scrambled to his feet and hurried to the back side of the limo. He grabbed a bottle of wine from one of the numerous basket

Some place."Wakey, Wakey."The familiar voice came, still, but urgent. Dia could feel her eyes hurt and tried to reach her hands to the eyes but she couldn't. She resolved for opening the eyes to see why.Her weak eyelids flickered open, then closed again as the ray of the sun from the neighboring window messed with her sense of sight, the retina. She gave it another try and she got the best judgement.She looked down at herself firstly, she was tied up with strong ropes. She was seating on a metal dinner-like chair. She tried to relate with the new state and figure out how she ended up there.Then the memories began to assemble in the depth of her consciousness as she tried to sort them out; she getting into a car, talking with Rowe, then a halt, gunshots, she entered into another car, then gloom.Her effort to weave all the memories into a scene gave her no choice but to look up at the voice she

Venue: Rowe's confusion."Tell me all she said was a lie."Rowe's voice was high but demanding. His face stern and wild. His nose heaving heavy dances. His eyes keen trying to pick the both of them in his gaze but it wasn't so possible. Claire was seated on a chair opposite him and Max was standing at a far end of the Parlor."I'm speaking to a human!!!"He yelled on top his voice. Claire was beginning to shake. Max looked towards her, keeping an indifferent face. He walked towards his mother and sat beside her, crossing his hand around her shoulders."You aren't speaking, you're shouting. Yelling on your wife. Who does that?"Max let the words out, his facial expression owning up to what he had just said. Rowe was moved, he stood up at once, trying to have a hold on his thoughts. He sat down back,"Max?""Don't be surprised."Max shot again and slid his hand through the inner pocket of his jack

On a road."Hi, Max."Albert said, expecting Max's turn of the pleasantries."I shouldn't answer your call."Albert sighed, his left hand fiddling with the wheel of the car. His right foot occasionally leaving from the clutch to the break. The road seemed quite busy that day."Thanks for doing.""Why are you calling? Got a bad news?"Albert sighed,"Regrettably, yes! Rowe asked that I block your credit and your mom's but I thought of telling you first before going on with it.""Do whatever you will man. You have no idea since when I've been prepared for this day. I'll hang the call now.""How about Dia? Aren't you interested anymore. What about the bargain?!"There was a pause from Max's end as Albert expectantly waited. Then Max's voice came on again,"I thought you've switched sides already. It's easy for you. This wouldn't be your first time of doing that.""S

Group Vacation: Maldives.
Four months Later. Maldives.~Dia Wealene~"How many times have they kicked?"Caidine called at me, walking out of the hut to join the remaining three of us. We were seated at the edge of the long wooden elevated basement on which the hut had been built. The row of huts were built on the ocean.I had my head resting on Albert's shoulder and Ray seated next to me. Caidine got to us and handed each of us a hollow, long cup of tasty spicy juice. Ray let her sit next to me."Now you've made them seem jobless. I don't believe that all babies do is kick. They sure have some other tasks they catch up to."I teased. I knew I was being unreasonable but no matter how sour and crazy my joke seemed, Albert's laugh was always the loudest. And sometimes, I am forced to think that he laughs at how boring my jokes are.And he has been acting that way since he discovered that I was pregnant with his twins. Two g

But who is the owner of those strange cars. I hate to believe that crazy Mr Wilson is here. But it's all good, everything would be sorted today."She affirmed as she ran her arm into the space between my arm and waist. She held me like couples would do and called,"After me, y'all."As we walked towards the door, I wanted so badly to tell her the last secret but sincerely I was scared. And I still am. I should tell her but I just can't, no matter how hard I try.But the fact is, the truth cannot stay hidden for long. In just less than five minutes, all would be ratted out.

Sweet Home.~Dia Wealene~"When did you get a new Ferrari?"He queried as soon as he pulled over in my compound. One thing was the fact that I couldn't believe that this was the end of vacation, let alone the recent stance he had just assumed."What Ferrari?"I turned to him but he had stepped out of the car and walked over to my side. He got the door and I stepped out. He pointed in the direction of the garage. Parked was a red Ferrari. "I never drove this in, and I don't remember telling the automobile company to bring a new car. Nor did Caidine tell me about any--"I hesitated for a while as a supposition suddenly hit me."Come."I walked towards the door as he caught up with me. He held my hand and we both walked into the parlor."Where are they?"I quizzed, walking into the empty first parlour. Then suddenly, came the blast of music over the speaker, b

Colorado.~Dia Wealene~"I wish we could stay a week more."I complained, tracing my pinky finger through the deep hollow between his two pouting chests. The tip of my skin feeling the hardness of his torso. My head was on the spot where the shoulder meet the chest. We were both in bed. We just finished having sex. And it hadn't been forever since we got here. It's late at night. We're in a hotel. Hyatt Residence Club Beaver Creek, Mountain Lodge."We will. But not now. We will go on several other vacations after our wedding."He assured, stroking the loose strands of hair on my temple. Gentle caresses that turn me on."But wedding can wait. Let's just enjoy many more days alone."I looked up at him, my head poised, chin on his chest, eyes sorting out his.He suddenly sat up, leaning on the head of the bed. He helped me up too and made me sit in between his thighs, his warm arms wounded around m

In the middle of the ocean. Bangkok.~Dia Wealene~"Where'd he go?"I walked into the large sitting room in the yacht. My eyes were slightly heavy from sleep but that wasn't enough to slow me down. I walked past the numerous couches locked into each other in a circular mound in the heart of the space.I put up my left hand and caught the sight of the diamond ring glistering. I smiled at the memory of a day before yesterday. I kissed the ring and let out a light laugh. I walked towards the door.We'd spent the previous day in a private jet and had flew all the way from Vegas to Thailand. I have no idea how he chooses his thing, but he seemed obsessed with long-distance stuff.The 24 hours we spent on the jet passed by so quickly, since we spent most of it playing games and watching movies. And earlier this morning, we've set on the ocean and had had some sex spree. And I was just waking up. Waking up to hi

"Albert?"I turned around. I was on a cliff with a flat, rectangular top. At the edge of the cliff on the four sides were lit candles and in the middle were sprinkled pink flowers all over the place."Albert?"My heart would liquefy. I'm sure."I'm here!"I heard his voice from the path that led up the cliff. I hurried towards there and couldn't move any further. There were rocky stairs that lead up the cliff. And at the edges of the stairs were candles too. That must be what we had climbed.Albert was walking towards me, climbing the stairs, and in his hands were two giant bouquet of different kinds of flowers I'd never seen."Albert?"I wasn't sure of what else to say as he got to me and handed me both the flowers."Come, my love."He called and I followed him not sure of what to expect even though my sixth-sense was loud enough.As we got back to the spot I had left be

The Surprise
Grand Canyon.~Dia Wealene~"Do you really think this is necessary?"I argued, not sure of what else to say. Of course I was been beaten by curiosity as well as anxiety, but both had pressed on me so greatly that I was beginning to feel uncomfortable."We're almost there. You don't have to worry, as soon as I park the car, you'll be in my arms all the way through, till we get to where we are going."He explained. But I kept up the pace of the argument,"But really, Albert. It's already night. Having a blindfold on me makes no difference."I could feel a silhouette eating me up as he pressed his lips on my cheek."To me, it matters. Just trust me, baby."There was plea in his tone and I wasn't ready to prove further."Fine."I muttered, even though twasnt enough. I wanted to tell him to kiss me in the lips to shut me up but I let the urge slide.We had left Japan early this mor

Thermae Bath Spa. Japan. ~Dia Wealene~ "This is one of those. At least, my young days tasted some of the renowned English buildings in some part of the world." He replied, explaining. He was leaning on the border of the Minerva bath. Twas like a large pool with steams, but I could tell from the feel of the water on my skin, that the water is well treated; mineral-rich. "But it's rather strange. A UK establishment in the heart of Japan. Maybe I should say it's impressive. One of these days, Cleavinks should have a branch too in one of these Asian countries. I'm sure their folks are pretty innovative." He turned to me at that, closing the space in between us; we were facing the front before the turn. "No folks are dumb. But really, have we come all the way to Japan to talk about business?!" He pulled me closer and stole my lips. His left hand at my nape, and the right sliding down my back till it h

Day 1
Few Days Later.~Albert~"Where to?"She quizzed, taking a quick glance at the side of my face. I turned to her as quickly as I could, my eyes straying off the express road, my firm hands drifting the steering wheel through the road."Disclaimer: All you have to do for these seven days is to sit back and trust all of my words. Because if you ask me again to where I'm taking you, I would have no choice but to tell you, which would make it no surprise anymore. You know, I can't really keep a secret from you anymore."I paused. The rays of the sun stealing through the window of her seat beside me revealed the glee sweeping past her face. I guess I tried. Caidine had told me to give details whenever she asks a question. I had forgotten to ask her why, but I guess it's really working and helping."What else did Caidine teach you?"She sneered at me. My heart missed a beat. I wanted to show it as Caidin
