All Chapters of Enigmatic Hearts: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SEVERAL YEARS AGO........"Tania! Tania!" My mom knocks my door like there is no tommorow. I didn't answer her whims outside. I already know her next step. She will shout my name in no time. And that will be so loud! It can break your eardrums."Taniaaaaa!" She shouted on top of her lungs. I covered my body with the satin-cottoned blanket that I bought from an online shop. Minutes have past I can't hear my mom's voice. I'm a little bit worried of her not shouting my name again. I was about to look at the door, when I heard clicks. She did it again. She opened my room! "Mom. It's too early." I lazily said. My bedside clock said it is only 6 on the morning."No it's not! Specially today is the day! The D-Day!" She merrily said.I didn't answer her. She's just using the special day tactics again. "Tania! Wake up!" My mom's at it again! She

There is always an after party. The auction was good. Everybody bought the things they wanted. My mom bid for another Spanish painting. She love it but she was more inlove to the painting that the man bought. Good thing that Darren was busy with his clients. He was not able to get near me, I know he saw me. Who wouldn't? The table I'm in, are full of rich people who are the owners, shareholder or wives of the multi million companies. I saw Darren waving at my mom. I mentally roled my eyes, as much as I literally wanted to role my eyes. I can't do it now, the cameras are all over the party, I'm afraid I would make it to the top entertainment page of a news paper. My mom's friends are obviously around her age. I'm out of place. I can relate to their topics since it was all about fashion and business but I was more interested in the food in the table."Mom I will just greet some of

I stood up and extend my hand to initiate a handshake. "Nice seeing you." I said, wearing a fake smile. I can't be that happy when he have done nothing but my heart is racing. He gladly receive my initiation of handshake. "Nice seeing you. So? What are you doing in this place? I believe that this is far-away from your company." He said. I nodded as I look outside of the coffee shop. "I am waiting for someone." I stated. "By the way. Did you sell the painting to your friend? Someone sent us a painting." I asked. She chuckled a little bit. I frown because of his reaction. Owhhh... A millionaire can chuckled? Is he allowed to do that? For so all I had know my dad don't want to smile nor laugh, most especially outside and inside the company. It make him vulnerable. "I didn't sell but

The morning wind never fail to give me a feeling of being in a highland place. The wind moaned through the lilies.  As the wind keep on gushing I stare at the flowers below the veranda. I was just staring at the flowers blankly.  For the past few days our company got worst. I visited our company yesterday and the truth slaps me. We are not doing good. My dad rarely go home because of it. My mom even called her friends to wear our clothing to boost our company's moral.  The investors really pulled their investment. In a week our company have to lessen our employees and cut the other financial fees just to get into the annual money index.  I am currently mesmerizing the beauty of the flowers when my phone rang.  I received a text message from my mom.  'We are having a family lunch. Solievier Restaurant. Be there before 11 am.' 

It's been three days since the last time I heard form my mom. They are busy with some stuffs. My dad rarely get home on time these past few days. I didn't inform him about the agenda of the upcoming meeting of the board. I don't want to put some burdens on my dad's shoulder. If I could mitigate it myself then I would do it. I wanted to ask my mom about the dad's health condition, but I'm too busy and so they're. I'm also afraid to hear my mom's answer. I'm still in denial. I've been with my dad for many years. Even though he is busy he still find time for us. Why they didn't told me that dad have a cancer? I wanted clarifications, but I do t want to burden them yet. After all of this problems I will drag my dad to the hospital just to go under all the health steps he needed. I turned in my laptop and sent some emails to my father's friends who are also shareholders. I am sending e
