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]

"Bella, Bella, Bella." Edwin and Hannah quickly helped her before she'll hit her head on the tiled floor. 


Pulling his sleeves, "Ryan, what did the doctor say? Who is dead?" Pointing at herself, "my grandson and future grand daughter in-law? Is that who he's talking about? Talk to me and stop crying like a baby!" Grandma Mathilda cried. 


"Big brother please wake up! Wake up! Aunt please don't leave me in this world!" Pulling Ryan's sleeves, "Aunt bianca promised me alot of things so why is she leaving when she haven't fulfilled them yet? Where is she and big brother going to? Why are you not saying something?" Phoebe cried. 


Slumping on the floor severally, Nelly cried her eyes out. "No! Justin you must come back! You can't leave! Bianca I know you are pretending to me. You know I don't like expensive jokes, so stop it and come out!" 


"Doctor can we see them one last time?" Alex inquired with tears rolling down his chin. 


"Yes you can, they've been taken to the private ward. Just follow me I'll take you there." 


Getting to the room, they saw the two lifeless bodies, lying separately on two beds. 


The men were speechless and short of words, sobbing and weeping bitterly when they saw the two deceased. The women couldn't help it but cry their eyes out and stump themselves on the floor. 


Walking towards the deceased, grandma Mathilda sniffed her nose and knelt down on the space between the two beds. Holding Justin's hand on her right, she held bianca's hand on her left.
