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]

Sitting on the cabinet, with a downcast look. "I don't want him to be proud of me." 


Reducing the heat of the gas cooker, bianca wiped her hands and walked close to her. "Hey, don't say that. You can't blame yourself for the situation. Everything has a purpose why it happened." 


"No Aunt, I don't think so." Sniffing her nose, "nobody loves me in the family. Everytime they'll reject me, Everytime they'll insult me. Everytime they'll beat me." Lifting her head, "Aunt, am I that bad?" 


Vigorously nodding her head, "no dear, you are not. Infact you are the most blessed and precious girl alive. Stop saying negative words." Bianca consoled and wiped her tears. 


"But why did dad love big brother and big sister more than me?" 


Holding her face, "Phoebe, he doesn't love the others more than you. Infact you are his favorite buddy and his best part." 


"I don't believe that, Aunt. I just completed sixteen and he couldn't buy me any birthday present. He didn't spend the last Christmas holiday with me, why? Is that love?" 


"I understand what you mean, Phoebe. But Mr Anderson has too many responsibilities to take care of." 


With a doleful look, "am the youngest in the family, isn't he supposed to put me first in everything he does? But he is always paying attention to big bro and big sis." Pouting her lips, and crossing her hands in the front, "it's like am not wanted in this family." 


Bianca etched panickly, "no Phoebe, don't say that. You are wanted in the family. You are the best amongst everybody. You are the family's favorite part. And above all––" holding Phoebe's hand, she swinged it, lightly. "You are my favourite human being on the planet." 


Hugging her tight, "thanks Aunt, you are my bestest buddy." Phoebe beamed. 


Pulling away, Phoebe squealed, "you are so lively." 


Raising her eyebrows with her hands on her waist, "really?" 


"Yes Aunt, I want to school here, I want to stay here with you." She said. 


Favorite human being
