EP 1; Placing the coffee mug on the glass table, "you know what darling, girls like you who always try to run away from dating and relationships, always end up falling in love at the end." 

Letting out a brittle laughter, "grandma I think you're under the influence of fairy tales. Or did you watch Cinderella cartoons before coming?" 

"Huh? I can't even remember the last time I watched fairy tales movie." 

"Then why are you talking bout dating and relationships? Because I know am not interested in them" 

Raising her eyebrows, granny Mathilda burst into laughter.

Scowling her face, "grandma what's funny? I didn't say something funny" 

Slightly pinching and pulling bianca's cheeks, granny Mathilda chuckled, "yes dear, you just said something funny." 

Frowning confusedly, "how?" 

Taking a deep breath, "first of all, let me tell you something." She sat up properly and faced her. "Do you know that old men and women of my age  still goes into relationship?" 

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Bianca threw her hands in her mouth and gasped. "Ahh, you gat to be kidding me grandma" 

Nodding her head, "no darling, am not kidding, am talking legit." 

"But why do they have to go into a relationship when they're old and weak?" Shrugging her shoulders, "weird" 

Flicking her forehead, "oh you haven't heard of old people dating sites?" 

Frowning confusedly, "old people dating sites? No I haven't and why is it?" 

Chuckling, "okay I'll tell you" she whispered and explained. "Every woman needs a life partner, whom will watch over her, protect her and support her till the end of time. So no matter your age or who you are, you still need a partner." 

Sitting up properly, Bianca helplessly shook her head. "But it's not in my gene to date anyone right now, because–" placing her hand on her chest, she gave a doleful look and added, "I don't wanna suffer another heartbreak, please feel my pains" 

Patting the top of her head, she chuckled. "I do feel your pains too dear but heartbreaks are also part of life" 

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, "huh?" Bianca shouted shockingly.

"Uh huh, if you didn't date someone then how do you experience heartbreaks? Or do you just watch them happen in the movies?"

BREATHLESS [A story that will touch your soul]

Placing the plate and juice on the stool, "but mom, it's not a charcoal. Infact, you haven't tasted it yet and you're concluding." Nelly said. 


"Do I have to taste it first before concluding? Nelly you don't know how to prepare just a simple sandwich and you called yourself a woman? Huh? Just a simple sandwich I ask you to make for breakfast and you burnt it up." Elsa snapped. 


Lowering her head, "mom am sorry, am still trying. Maybe I forgot it in the oven." 


"You forgot a common veggies sandwich in the oven, what were you busy doing? Chatting with your boyfriend, instead of you to concentrate on what you were doing in the kitchen." Crossing her hands in the front, "infact what was the timer you fixed?" 


Awkwardly scratching her head, "an hour." She faked a weak grin. 


Widening her eyes in shock, "an hour? Nelly do you want to burn down this mansion? Do you? How could you set an hour timer for just two slice of bread sandwich?" Slapping her forehead, "Ugh God-damn, I blamed myself for choosing such an occupation without thinking of the future. Now look at my 23 year old daughter, she can't cook, not even a common sandwich could she make." Elsa cursed herself. 


"Mom am sorry, stop blaming yourself over your profession." 


"Shut up! What do you know? Do you think it's a good thing for a woman who doesn't know how to cook?" Brushing her hands on her face, she sighed. "If I hadn't studied medicine and health, maybe I would have had enough time for my family and maybe my daughter would have known how to cook! But am always busy." Pointing at herself, "look at me, I just arrived this morning and I'll soon be leaving again, isn't that stressful?" 


Placing her head on Elsa's shoulder, "Mom please forgive me, am sorry. I promise to take my time when next am cooking." Pausing for a while, she added, "infact to make things more better, I'll humble myself and learn from Bianca." 


Taking a deep breath, Elsa sighed patted Nelly's head. "It's alright, I'm sorry I raised my voice at you. Speaking of bianca, where is she? Is she here? I haven't seen her since this morning." 


Lifting her head, "hmm, she's here. Infact she spent the night here and I think she hasn't gone yet." Nelly beamed. 


Tightening her grip around the phone, "Arrghh! He has finally brought in another woman who will steal everything." Lorena groan in anger. 


"Sweetheart, if you don't calm down, you're gonna hurt yourself." Clara stated. 


"I won't calm down, mom! There's no fucking way am gonna calm down!" Showing a photograph of Justin kissing bianca. "Look at this, just take a very good look at this, mother, is this good in the eyes? Justin brought another woman who will claim his properties instead of me!" Lorena yelled angrily. 


Placing her hand on Lorena's shoulders, "my darling, whosoever this woman is, she's not gonna succeed in taking away what rightfully belongs to you. Okay?" 


Lorena's belongings
