Four months ago...

"Honey, could you get that door for me quickly?" Alice shouted while pushing her wheelchair with her hand.

Alice had osteoporosis and only relied on medicine which didn't bother her, she was heading to the living room, and Aurelia was in the kitchen, washing the plates they used earlier for breakfast.

Aurelia stopped what she was doing, wiped her hand with foam, and came out of the kitchen, she saw her mother waiting in the living room, and then she knew who it was.

Aurelia with a confused heart opened the door with a smile and said, "Go ahead, my mother is already waiting for you, Uncle Andrew..."

Aurelia saw all types of groceries and things needed in the bathroom, daily food, canned goods, a chest of rice, and even frozen food and my mother's special needs.

Alice thanked Tim by hugging him, and Aurelia stood there with a heavy question on her mind, "What relationship do they have?"

Andrew has been helping Aurelia and Alice since Alice got sick, Aurelia doesn't know how and why this man came into their lives because Alice doesn't talk to Aurelia about him that much.

The guy looked old, and Aurelia was worried that he might have a family. Then, Aurelia and Alice would serves as his second family. She also felt very annoyed especially since he always brought the things they needed as if he was obliged to do so.

Aurelia also feels grateful, but she can't stomach that the money being spent for them is not for them in the first place.

Aurelia finished washing the dishes with deep thought going in her head, entered her room, and laid herself on the bed.

When she closed her eyes, Wima came inside, and Aurelia didn't realize that she had fallen asleep a little and noticed Alice when one of her eyes was open.

"Darling, your Uncle Tim cooked something. Let's eat---"

Aurelia frowned and said, "How many times do I have to tell you, mom---that I don't want him around, and what the neighbors say to you because he comes in here."

"He doesn't look like my father, so why bother letting him in?"

Aurelia lay down again not looking at Alice. It was obvious on Alice's face that she didn't care about what those around her had to say, but Aurelia gave a damn in every single thing and about what was going on because Alice didn't give Aurelia a clue about what was going on between them.

Alice just looked at Aurelia and said, "I won't stop him from coming here, I hope you take back what you said. He's here to help us."

Aurelia scoffed not letting Alice see it and said, "Maybe the help is just for you mom, didn't you even think that he might have a family?"

Alice stopped and looked at Aurelia who stood up to take her clothes, and Alice said in a panic, "Are you going to run away? Don't even think about it, Aurelia!"

Aurelia rolled her eyes and said, "I'm going to find a job. We can't depend on him for life."

"I mean I can't depend on him for life. I'm not that thick." Aurelia added and left Alice inside.

Alice was still talking, but for Aurelia, it was no longer understandable because she blocked her ears and even blurred her vision by not focusing her eyes.

When she got her towel, Aurelia entered the kitchen where the shower room was located, and she met Andrew.

He said. "Do you want another round of breakfast?"

"No thanks," Aurelia said as she passed by him.

Tim just looked at Alice, who went out of the door and asked, "Same reason again?"

Alice nodded her head, and Tim just sighed and smiled.

Aurelia finished her bath not minding the lovely couple in the kitchen that were eating happily. The smell of bacon made Aurelia's tummy growl, but she didn't mind that.

Instead, she dressed presentably by wearing a simple polo shirt, pants, and running shoes.

Aurelia was about to go out of the door when she saw the plates they use were left on the table and couldn't even be put in the sink, Aurelia ignored it with a heavy heart.

Aurelia shouted. "Mom, I'm heading out!"

Aurelia didn't stop to hear would Alice said and put her earphones on, as soon as she reached the bus stop, a bus stopped, she entered it, and found a comfortable seat.

Aurelia looked at the window when something caught her eye, it was a guy looking at her as if he was studying every bit of her.

Aurelia decided to look out of the window again and said to herself.

"What is he looking at?"

Aurelia took a few glances, and the man was still looking.

The man wears a suit and even looked presentable but had a weird attitude. Aurelia was about to confront him when the bus suddenly stopped, and the man hit the button and got out of the bus.

Aurelia was about to feel relieved by the man getting out before her but, she suddenly saw that she was in town she hurriedly got out of the bus, and she still saw a strange man looking at her earlier on the bus.

The man walked in the opposite way which calmed her nerves.

Aurelia placed her earphones at a low volume and looked at the sky as she stopped in her tracks and said silently, "You got this, Aurelia!"

But she thought that her voice was like whispers but, it was a lot louder enough for the people around her to hear what she said and when the music stopped a laughter replaced her music.

She turned around only to see the guy from earlier, but this time his features were clear and even more beautiful.

Aurelia stared at him as he said: "Are you even sure you got this?"
