…♥…♥…♥…Orlie were at his house and enjoyed his day off with his daughter who is happily playing in their now decent home. He looks at her with such love and protectiveness and he hopes nothing but better life for her precious daughter.
"If only I could go back to where I came from…"
Deep in his heart, he wanted to go back to his family, but it"s impossible for him to do it now, since he"s been exiled from their presence. He was only seventeen years old when they throw him out from their home because of some accusation he didn"t commit but his parents believed other people than him.
As he reminisce the past, it brought tears to his eyes because of it he was forced to join illegal works. But in his dark days, he met Kylie"s mother and he fell in love with her. She"s a very kind woman and in the course of their dating she only asked once about his background but he"s been quiet about it nevertheless she accepted and loved him wholeheartedly. No one knew who he was and where he came from.
When he married her, he decided to stop his illegal activities, however, when their daughter was born and became sickly and has no money to buy even the medicine, he has no other choice but to secretly and desperately go back to his illegal activities.

His wife didn"t ask him, but to receive, with closed eyes, everything he provided them but he could see the fears in her eyes but he ignored it because the desire to provide food on their table and the medical needs of their daughter weighed much more. His guilt ate him everytime he"s looking at her taking care of their daughter as she never heard from her nagged at him nor questioned him of his ways.
Little did he know, that his wife has a life-threatening disease and she"s quiet about it too, endured it on her own everytime it attacked her as she didn"t want to add burden on his shoulders. Only then one day, that when he went home from his "work" that he found her lying on the floor, lifeless. That"s why, he"d decided to leave the illegal work, for good if he"s able to save a small amount of money after this last transaction, and that is to kidnap a child.
Before they executed the kidnapping they were called for the last minute change of plan, as he was approaching the meeting room, he noticed that there"s a room that was slightly opened and deep inside him has this trivial curiosity of whom he"s working so he peeped on.
And he saw a man standing sideways while looking at the portrait of a well built man, wearing only underwear, who seems to be the man himself. He felt eerie as he noticed that there"s something was off at the portrait of the man.
"Why is he looking at himself?" and he observed where his eyes lingered, "and why on that part of his body?" he asked in his thoughts.
As much as he want to linger there and observed more, however he heard some footsteps coming his direction so he immediately left and went hurriedly to the meeting room as if he didn"t know anything.

…looking at Ingrid"s face and then he saw her precious wife"s eyelids move…
He stood up immediately and waited for her to finally open her eyes. Her eyes moved unsteadily as it struggled to the glow of the lights and when she has adjusted her vision, she opened it and slowly look around.
Ingrid saw a blurry sight of a man, and she heard him calling her name. The voice was so sweet and soothing to her ears but she could not remember where she has heard it. As her vision slowly comes to normal, she noticed that everything around her is white.
She wanted to speak but she can"t and felt that something was wrapped from her head to her chin and that she can"t move her neck, too.
"What happened to me?" she screamed in her thoughts.
The moment she wanted to move she felt a stinging pain on every part of her body like being sliced a thousand times and she could only close her eyes tightly again to endure the pain.
"Ingrid, my Love! Thank G.o.d you"re awake." Ingrid could hear the sobbing voice of the man beside her. He was kneeling beside her bed and bowed to kiss her hand.
But she just stared at him without emotion in her eyes. When Clifford looks up to her, he is more stunned when he noticed that his precious wife only stared at him and there"s no trace of acknowledgement from her. It was just a blank stare.
Ingrid is shocked. She felt like she"s asleep for years and had just awaken, and in her sleep she had a dream, that she played with her son, and another two cute twins of whom she didn"t know who"s children. She just played with them and Clark was shrieking with gladness as he played with the twins and her son said something to them that she couldn"t hear exactly.
And then suddenly, someone wrapped his arms from behind her and whispered,
"I miss you, come back to me, please…" his presence is soothing her that as if she"s known him and has been with him for a long time.
She wanted to ask who he was but before she could speak, the scenes before her changed and that she was now in a dark place and he heard someone speak from the dark place, the voice of a man.
"We will meet at the precise moment and by that time you will know who I am and what you have done to me…" and the voice released a devilish laugh and faded. That"s why she woke up uncertain of the happenings around her and saw this strange man.
"Who is he?"
"Ingrid… don"t you recognize me?" panicked registered on his handsome face.
But she can"t speak nor move her head so he said to blink her eyes if she remembers him and twice if not.
That gentle voice in her dream sounds the same with the man before her now.
And Ingrid blinks her eyes… twice.
