CHAPTER 1 Friend Request
Marian Vicente is a single mother of a 7-year-old bright boy who embraced all the hardship in life alone. She has a beautiful smiling face with a sexy body and a smart fashionable woman who works as a Branch Manager in a well-known Apparel and Fashion Brand. She works very hard and doesn't have time to entertain any man for a romance. She is happy and contented with what she has as of the moment. Until one day, while scrolling here, there is a friend request from her former elementary classmate, a childhood friend, Paulo Valencia. He is their classroom President and first honor student when they were in Grade 1 while Marian was their second honors and his Vice President in the class. Being known by Marian, she accepted the friend request then. A message immediately pops up. "Hi, is this Arianne? Marian Vicente?", messaged by Paulo. "Yes I am. ", Marian replied. "Wow, you look so gorgeous. I didn't recognize you at first. I even asked Edlyn our classmate also if it is really you! A smile appeared on her face. "Well, I am just an ugly duckling before right, haha, good thing there are lots of beauty products nowadays plus a filter haha!" "Great! Thankful with social media, I've found you," Paulo said. "I didn't even recognize you as well, you look great. You are not good-looking before haha," Ariane said. "I just remember you are so skinny before. Cute but petite. You really looked so beautiful Ariane.", Paulo excitedly said. "Things changed, time changed, everything changed for good," she said. ___________ Ariane and Paulo were classmates during their elementary days. They were seatmates and playmates. Paulo was Ariane's protector against their bully classmates. They were both top students in their class, Paulo as top 1 while Ariane as top 2. They even partnered in different school activities. They were very close to each other. Paulo then used to fetch Ariane from their home and they both went to school together. he also sent her home after school. Paulo remembered he said to Ariane before "When we grow up I will take care of you." When they were in Grade Five, Ariane transferred to another school and applied for a scholarship. Everything changed then. New school, new environment, new classmates... Their communication ended, there were no cellphones yet, no social media. They both became busy in their respective studies and different environment. _______ They chat and share stories of their childhood until it's already night. Seems there will be a romance coming up. Mariane, also known as Ariane, started to smile now every time her mobile phone vibrates. Most of the messages being received by Ariane are coming from her work and her child's school before. Now someone is making her smile every time a message pops up. "Time to sleep, thanks Pau," a smile appeared on Ariane's beautiful face. "It's so nice meeting you again on social media haha." "Good night Ariane. Sweet dreams," Paulo said. Ariane then sleeps well after awhile Paulo's POV: "I will take care of you Ariane," Paulo said after putting his mobile phone on his deck. "This time, I won't lose you anymore," he said. After he learned the hardships of Ariane being a single mother, he appreciates her more. He aimed to protect Ariane and her child more. Paulo is still a bachelor at the age of 25. No girlfriend so far. He is the only son of his parents. He has his mother only. His father died five years ago. He was on board since he was 23 years old and he had already some investments and properties from his hard work. He will bridge the gap of childhood to the present. __________ A loud sound of an alarm awakens Ariane at 4 a.m. She immediately got up and fixed her bed. She proceeds to the kitchen and prepares breakfast for her son Jude, a 7-year-old cutie little boy. Afterward, she wakes up Jude already. "Jude, hurry you will be late. School time once again son" she hurriedly carries her son on her shoulders and puts him into a bath. By 6 o'clock, the mother and child are now leaving their apartment. Ariane drove her car and sent his son to school. "Jude, study well son. I'll pick you up this afternoon after I work okay," Ariane kissed and left his son to his school. "Okay Mom, I'll wait for you then. I love you. Take care Mom." then the cute little boy runs to his classroom already. Upon reaching her workplace. She placed her laptop and checked her mobile phone. There are about 25 messages already. "Hi Ariane, are you busy? Good morning," message from Paulo. A smile suddenly appeared on her beautiful face. "Just arrived at the office now. I'll be busy with my work, regards," she replied happily. Paulo's POV: Upon seeing Ariane's reply, Paulo smiles. He is happy now working onboard. His boredom suddenly lifts ups. He felt so amazingly great having chat with Ariane. He even put Ariane's selfie photo on his mobile's wallpaper. He grabbed it from her Facebook photo gallery. He loves seeing her beautiful face. "Good morning my Dear Ariane," he said on his mobile phone's screen. Ariane's POV: "Why is it I have this feeling of excitement every time I got a message from Paulo? Haast," she asked herself. She is now romantically excited every time her mobile phone vibrates. __________ After her work, she fetches her child from school. "Mommy!" Jude approached her immediately after she stepped in front of him. "How's my baby?" Ariane kissed her son on his chubby cheeks. Jude kissed his Mommy's cheek as well. "I'm good Mom, I behaved so well." He hugged Ariane so tight. They walked together to the parking lot of the school. Jude's POV : At a very young age, Jude is fully aware already of their Mother and Son's setup. He is also aware that he has a father but left them too early. He is praying for his Mommy to have someone who will take good care of her too. He wants his mother to be happy and be with someone who will be called her husband and his Daddy. Jude is quite envious of his classmates with complete family every time there is a school activity. He cannot demand it from his Mother since he already knew their situation. But then there are times that he is longing for a father. How he wishes he has a father who will accompany him and his mother. Back to reality: "Mommy?" Jude asks her mother since her Mom seems to be thinking while driving. "Yes Jude.," Ariane said to her son. " Are you hungry? We can have a drive-thru at Mc Donalds if you want? Jude shouts excitedly. "Yes Mommy I Want Chicken Nuggets, Spaghetti, and French Fries,". "Alright.!" Ariane drove at Mc Donalds and brought Jude's requests. Upon arrival at their apartment, her messenger pops up and she saw Paulo's message. "Hi Ariane, hope you are doing well. Keep safe and go home early. Regards to Jude." a smile appears on Ariane's face. "Sometimes it's quite so nice reading sweet messages. "Ariane said to herself. "Just got home, thank you, Pau," she smiles while replying to Paulo. Then a picture of Paulo at the deck has been sent to Ariane's mobile," Hey, it's our view deck here at Morocco," there's a caption below the picture. Paulo looks so different when we were young. He is so handsome. "You look so handsome, Paulo. Doing great," Ariane said. "Thank you. You are amazingly beautiful Ariane," said Paulo. "Haha I know right," Ariane laughing replied. "Seems we are connecting our elementary days now. We've lost our high school and college days. I've missed your teenage years Ariane," Paulo said. "If only I've met you then, I'll court you," Paulo seriously said. "Haha. You have a sweet tongue Paulo," Ariane said. "Anyways it's nice chatting with you, I have so many things to do right now. Ciao!" Ariane felt her heart is trembling. Ariane goes to the kitchen to prepare their take-out and have their dinner already. "Mommy, I love you," Jude said to her Mom. " I love you too son". "Mommy I'll pray. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lord Thank you for all the blessings. Thank you for all the food on our table. Thank you for giving me a wonderful Mommy. I am asking for a wonderful Daddy dear Lord, Amen.." Jude smiles at her. "Jude, why are you asking for a Daddy. We are fine, are we?" Ariane touched her son's head and kissed him on his forehead. But she is now thinking about his son. "I think he is longing for a father's love and affection," there's a pinch in her heart when it comes to Jude's emotions, Ariane is becoming too sensitive. It is not that she is becoming emotionally affected with Jude's action, but she doesn't want to see his son feeling empty and longing for a fatherly love. Her eyes became misty... She went too deep thinking now ............
