ONE FINE DAY, Emelda, who works as a receptionist of a rum factory in town that is famous with the production of genuine rums decided to go straight to her home right after she received a call. (wait for this in Chapter 5)
________________________________________________________________________________
EMELDA's husband who held her hand in marriage two years ago died in a car accident during his site visiting tour in Milan. Emelda was left alone with two lovely twins, Danny and Faye. The twins was still babies at the time but I could not remember at what age they were. These kids had no idea what were their mother had gone through for the past two years. They just live their baby life as they have nothing to worry about. Emelda however did not feel it was a pain to her as her husband was a strict man and was mean to her. Sometimes, Emelda could feel his hand on her cheeks even though it was a slap from the day before. Emelda received a lot of foods from the nearby folks who knew her as much as they were their own daughter. She was raised by a farmer who bumped into her along the way home.
She was in a basket and with a note that says, " to whom this girl bumped with, I am from a very poor family, I couldn't even feed myself, I think more of her. Please do care for her, give her the love that you give your wife and children, or even the love you give to your neighborhood. Please, I'm begging you. For all of your effort, I couldn't thank more." The farmer hadn't had any child with his wife since their marriage three years ago and without any further inquiries, he grabbed the basket slowly and put it in his truck and went straight away to his wife at home. The first time her wife laid her eyes on her, she was astounded by the beauty of the face the baby had but she asked her beloved husband of how he bumped to this lovely baby. Her husband narrated everything from the beginning and his wife nearly shed her tears for the caring mother of the child and as a God's gift for a baby.
Starting from that day, they took care of Emelda as if they were her biological parents. They gave her everything she needs to grow up and become a great farmer like them. She gave them a life experience to be not afraid of looking at the albums of their pictures when they were old. Time flew so fast and Emelda grew up as a beautiful daughter in town. The guys were like wolves in Walt Disney cartoons when they see a lovely lady. Her curves, small lips at the top and the bottom, petite body and beautiful from head to toe gives her the attention every models wanted when they walk back and forth during a fashion show they were in. Everyone in town also knows Emelda for her kindness and loveliness. Every time she bumps into anyone along the way, her greeting only stops after she hadn't had the slightest idea about the person or in universal, a stranger.
One afternoon, she decided to take a walk in town for the window shopping she always did. She later on bumped into a charming guy but she didn't greet him as he was a stranger to her. She had never encountered face to face with this man but she feels as if there is something with that man that bothers her and she wishes as if that person could lend her some time.Suddenly, she lost him from his view and after walking here and there with her routine, she saw the man through a glass at the cafe she used to hang out with her parents and his friends. The man who sat on the stool wore a black hat. His chest was wide, blue jeans, dark hair with a khaki leather jacket. She later on approached that gentleman and tried to sort it out. When she opens her mouth, and her hand trying to tap on the guy's shoulder, straightly the guy with a pair of green eye lenses said".......

HENRY was raised in the army in the south region of the country. He was trained to be a soldier by his Uncle Norman who lives in the camp as Lieutenant Major Norman and his wife Lily. They were strict about rules in the camp and even outside the camp. Henry was raised with discipline and the word is always the first thing that comes to of his mind when he wishes to take a step for his wishes. Henry's parents were back home but they worked as engineers who surveys and monitors their oil and gas company. They were likely to have no ample time for their Henry and his two sisters, Bertha and Jennifer. Norman decided to take their children under his care as they were afraid with the money and the slightness of love the children receives. It could lead to a hectic life when money takes the power of empathy.
Henry lives with his two sisters and looks out for each other. Her sisters were still a teenager with Bertha at the age of 15 and Jennifer at 19 and Henry was 6 years above the Jenny. He was always reminded by his uncle to always look after these young ladies as the camp is situated deep in the woods, even though there is a fence, but the bandits was always seen nearby the camp but with no proper reason. She was afraid of what could happen to the ladies as they were still young. Henry had a fun life. He grew up and became an honorable man who looks after his uncle and his aunt after their retirement. They move out as soon as Norman cleared up his desk. Henry quits the army and decided to move to a town where he could grow grapes and later on put a push on the size of the land to become a vineyard. He sees that by growing grapes, he could manage his life to take care of his uncle and aunt for their time they spent on taking care of his siblings.
Henry later on move to the town he wished to. He had a great greeting from the neighbors and the house he bought with the money he worked as a soldier of his rank. He wouldn't care a single penny his parents gave to Uncle Norman for them. He urges his uncle to keep the money for their use as they spent a lot raising his siblings. He bought seven hectares of land to start the plantation. He asked himself, would he be able to find loyal workers for his vineyard. He had encountered a few men afterwards and they said no. He was really afraid that it could not go beyond his expectations to get man power for his vineyard. The day after, a boy named Lucio comes and asked for any vacancy, and he said he brought some friends who could work with him as a labor worker there. Henry felt as if it was a positive impact of his worries. He recruited them with 6$ an hour for 10 hours and 2 breaks. They agreed in every way.
Business got bigger and his vineyard even has rumor of the best grapes sold in town. Even the grocers bought the grapes from his vineyard as for their freshness. His competitors got eyes on him as he sort of "stole" their customers that had been buying the grapes for years. One Saturday evening, the crows caws, the sun started to sink in the west, Lucio and his colleagues and also Henry with them sitting at a table having a chit-chat. Then suddenly the classic phone rings, Lucio, sitting the nearest to the phone gets up from his chair and picks up the call. The chat at the table then continued. They tried to listen of what Lucio would deliver them as usually it would be some customers ordering grapes. Lucio stumbles as he heard a woman's voice, crying and asking whether Henry is there."Hello, is Henry there," asked Bertha(stuttering). Lucio said "Yes, he is here. May I know who this is? I'm Lucio by the way." and then Bertha, with a sobering voice said, "I'm Bertha, please call for Henry(she cries louder)." Everyone over heard the scream and then Lucio calls Henry saying, "Mr. Henry sir, this is for you."
Henry without further doubts, walks very fast to Lucio. As he lays his right hand and hold the phone, he said, "Hello, Henry here." Bertha with a stuttering voice, told him about his uncle and aunt. He was shocked about the words he heard and tears started to drop, Bertha said she was out to buy some groceries in town and when she got back, they were both shot in the head with a book in Uncle Norman's hand. Henry then picked up his truck keys and straight away gets to the truck and drove home with eyes filled with tears and......
