" You both have been together for two years now " " I see no reason why she would say no. After all you are both colleagues too at work " Fernando chipped in. The response from his roommates gladden Persia's heart. He walk away from the mirror and picked up a credit card that sat on the small table at the corner. " I should go now.

They regarded him with contempt all through. After a lot of taunting, one of the cops said Persia will have to bail himself out with $50,000. This makes the poor man to drop his jaw. Lost and miserable he had no choice but to tender the card with him. After some assessing the cops uses the card and tosses it to him. " Stupid! You only got half of the money here.

Persia was dumbfounded. He couldn't move. He stare down at the cellphone of Garcia that still shows the face of an elderly man whom he remembered visited him in the orphanage home. He knows there is more to everything. He had always known he has a root somewhere. " What happened? " He requested from Garcia after choking back the bile in his throat. " Tell me everything and Do not leave anything out " " It all happens years ago " Garcia began smoothly. " Your grandfather the great Pa knotty is the most successful business man in the city. he is the lifeline of masses. The master of the universe. " Married to two women, each bore him one son each.

The lighted hospital has many secret passages to Ma Sandy's room. When Persia was lead towards the underground he was confused. " We have to keep her out of sight. Only few doctors attends to her and only few knows she is still alive " Garcia was quick to whispers when he caught the expression on his face. Persia however only responded with a nod. The elderly doctor who lead the way finally opens a door for him to walk in.Persia had to stop in the door when he saw the woman laid lifelessly on the metallic bed. Her lips pale and her skin white. Leaving a shaky sigh and the hairs on his pores standing at it's end Persia walks to the bed's side. " She's...cold " He whispers softly after touching her fingers slightly. His heart tearing apart.
