Chapter 12: Chapter 12
The same day, Tatiana stayed in the room, she lifted her eyes seeing Andres strolling in with a pillow in his hand, "what is it, child?" He gained his eyes over flipping a dramatic look at her, "why are you still here? I thought you left?" He asked as she shoots a devilish smile at him, "aww! I can see you don't want me staying with your dad but too bad, I am your father's girlfriend and soon to be his wife, so you better get used to seeing me here" she blows a kiss to him, he recouped his eyes back to the door ambling out of the room, apparently when he left Liam strolled out of the bathroom, attaining his eyes to the door, "baby! Did anyone come in here?" He inquires but she lies to him the second time in a row.
So! He had no choice but to believe her, neither did he know that his son came over to the room, Liam wears his pajamas and tucked himself to bed, along with Tatiana who pins a weak smile laying beside him.
The following morning, it was precisely eight in the morning, I got up from the bed and strolled over to Andre's room, he gets up from bed after seeing me there, "good morning champ!" He pins a smile on reciprocating back with his greetings as well, "good morning miss Sara!" He says to me.
I got him dressed for school, we both strolled out to the living room and stumbled on Liam having his breakfast, "good morning dad?" Andres sat beside his father, Liam nails a kiss on his cheeks, after being done with his breakfast, "good morning sir" he veered back and took notice of my presence, "good morning Sara, hope you slept well" he lovingly asked me but before I could get the chance to respond, a voice-assisted out, "I slept well, Baby! Thanks for asking" Tatiana let's out from a far distance, urgh! I wonder how on earth she was able to hear from a far.
She (Tatiana) sits down at the dining table, and pulls her chair closer to Liam, he shoots a smile at her gaining his attention elsewhere away from her chicky behavior.
Afterward, I left to drop Andres at school, leaving Liam behind at the dining table quietly having his breakfast, Tatiana waited for us to leave before altering out. "Liam! Do you need a nanny, you know I can take care of your son, I am your girlfriend remember?" She says lifting his gaze upon her, "really! You! Take care of my son! Did you forget Andres hates you; he wouldn't even let me get married to you, and trust me, he might be a little child but I listen to him always". Liam walks away from her.
An hour later, I got home and walked past Liam's study room opened, inside was a photo of a woman hung up on the wall. The lady in the picture frame wore a red gown with her hair packed up from touching her back, indeed she was like those princesses in a fantasy story.
"What are you doing here?'.
I didn't know when Liam walked into his study room, the sound of his voice made it known that his voice was getting aggravated by the moment.
I veered back to see the anger in his eyes, as he fills up the distance between us within a split second.
"Sara! Why are you here?". He copies his words to me, waiting to hear the excuse I give him.
"Nothing sir!" I answered back, although I told on it was nothing, Liam shifted his eye to the picture behind me and figured it out.
"It's nothing? Tell me the truth, you walked in here because of this picture frame right? You're curious about the lady, aren't you?'. He says to me and that does about sums up everything. Yes Sir!" I said turning my eyes rearward.
"Okay! The lady you see on this picture frame is Andre's late mom, she died of cancer, and right about now, I need you to go out there and help with the preparation of her death anniversary, please".
I walked out of the room, not a single word came out from my lips, as I veered downstairs to see everyone busy, I walked into their midst and joined in the preparation, thus! A few hours later, we all pack up the decorations we used and left there sparkling clean.
One after the other, family and friends came in, seated amongst each other in the living room. Not quite long, Liam walks out of this room, holding onto his late wife's frame in his hand. He was clothed in a black gown, while beside him was Andres, who also was dressed in the same color.
They veered closer and dropped the frame at the center of the room, Liam and his son stood quietly, their head placed downwards, as we all did the same paying our respect to the late Mrs. Sonoma Khan, Liam's and Andres's late wife and mother.
For the past two hours, we stay quiet but some people tend not to keep to traditions, Tatiana stylishly sneaked out of the room, with a bottle of champagne in her hand. I still couldn't find what Liam saw in her, unbelievable.
