282: RECALLING

LUKE’S POV

Staring at the phone in my hand, my mind was somehow in a state of chaos. Well, I wasn’t panicking, but this was somehow crazy, like crazy.

The caller ID showed Tiffany’s name and her face–the face of this woman who once had feelings for me. I couldn’t tell if those feelings were still there. But she did have me feeling guilty. And yes, she did carry our child. A child we never got to meet because she

miscarried.

I can actually remember that moment back then; it was really painful when she told me that she didn’t want me in her life anymore. But what could I do? I didn’t want to be with her; it was something I wanted, but at that time, I felt kind of broken–just for that moment, though.

And while these thoughts continued to process in my head, a voice broke through my

trance. It was Daniella.

“Uhmm, excuse me?” She vocalized. “The phone you’re holding belongs to me. I think it must have fallen on the ground when those boys were harassing me.”

“Oh really? This phone belongs to you.”

“Yes, it does. Please hand it over, that call might be important.”

“Oh, sorry about that.” I apologized and walked to her, handing her the phone.

“Thanks,” she said softly, and her eyes went straight to the screen.

“I know I’m not supposed to ask, but who’s that person calling?” I threw up the question. I couldn’t help it. I knew it was Tiffany, looking at that screen. But who was Tiffany to her?

“It’s my elder sister, Tiffany,” she answered.

My curious face changed into a confused one. “Your sister?”

“Yes, do you perhaps know her?” Daniella asked, giving me a slightly puzzled face.

I hesitated for a moment, not sure how to answer. I didn’t want to lie to her, but I didn’t

want to reveal my past with Tiffany to a stranger. So I simply shook my head and muttered, “No, I don’t.”
