《OF PAIN & REGRETS ( FORTHBEAM - EDITED VERSION ) ✔️》10 - Uncertainty And Assurance
Advertisement
I wave at Beam who is enjoying chasing the twins around the park. His eyes is shining with joy and happiness. I chuckled when he starts to runaway from the kids and run towards me and I prepared myself for the crash when he just jump unto me. I manage to balance us but eventually fall down when the twins tackled us to the ground. Beam is panting and giggling at the same when the kids tickled him nonstop. I just smiled at them and let the kids tackled him to the ground.
I say softly, breaking them apart and hauled Beam next to my right while he's holding Alexis and I hauled Patrick to my left.
There's a couple of people looking at us with smile and awe. I can even hear them gushing on us.
One of them commented and Beam beams when he heard it but the sudden flash of sadness in his eyes didn't pass through me. I smiled at the woman and hold Beam closer to me.
Beam answered and I grip his side tightly. The woman smiled.
I stared at the strange woman in awe and I feel Beam fidget a little.
Beam asked in uncertainty and I am taken a back for a bit when the woman hug Beam and pat his back.
She said and give us another meaningful smile before she left us. I look at Beam and he is smiling widely while staring at the distance. He look unto me and our eyes meet. The pain in his eyes are fading away and almost invisible. He smiled at me and I can't help but to smiled back at him .
He didn't say a word but I know he's happy. We break the eye contact and pick up and carry the kids, which are visibly tired and sleepy. It's past seven in the evening and they need to eat dinner because I am sure both of them will knock out as soon as they hit the bed.

I asked and chuckled when I heard a light snore as an answer.
Beam whispered as we stop in front of my car. I look back on him when I heard him gasp.
He stated and slap himself. I grab his wrist to stop him.
He look like he want to argue more but I shake my head at him and held out my hand to get his key. His brows furrowed and he pout a little but hand me his car key still.
We walked towards his car and I put Patrick at the back and buckled his seatbelt and Beam put Alexis too and did the same to her.
I said stopping him to sit in the front. He looked at me but did not say anything as he goes inside the car and sit beside the kids. I get inside and maneuvers the car out of the park. Silence filled the car.
He murmured and when I look at him on the rear mirror he's already closing his eyes but a smile is plastered on his face. I humm my response and let them take their sleep in peace.
I slowly close my door upon parking in front of my apartment building and open Beam's side. He's still asleep as well as the twins. I feel guilty to wake him up but I don't want to leave either of them inside the car and I can't carry the three of them too. I shake his shoulder lightly to wake him and he stirred, and open his eyes slowly.
I say softly and he just stare at me with sleepy eyes. His mind maybe still hazy so I just let him and watched him as he look around and recognition shown in his face after a while .
He whispered and I nod at him and wait for him to move. An oh formed in his mouth and I chuckled at his cuteness. I go around the car and opened Patrick's side and hauled him to my chest. Beam is already holding Alexis in his arms.

We walked side by side towards the elevator and push the button the floor where our place is located. Beam leaned on my side and I support his body with my shoulder. He drag his feet as soon as the door open and walked towards my door. He already knew the password so I let him open the door and went inside. He took off Alexis shoes and kicking his own as I did the same to Patrick and mine. He followed me to our bedroom as I put Patrick on the bed. He put down Alexis beside her brother and groaned when he drop his body to the bed too and didn't even bother to change. He must be so tired and sleepy. I arrange his body gently on the bed and kiss his forehead as I cover the three of them and turn the ac on.
I whispered but I don't think he heard me and will interested in food right now. I walk towards the door and closed it slowly when I get out. I wear back my shoes again and go down. I hailed a cab going to the park to where my car is.
After getting my car I stop by on a restaurant at the side of the road and order the food. I know the three of them can't eat it when I get back but who knows. If they woke up in the middle of the night, atleast there's a food that is ready to eat for them.
I drive back towards my place and get on the elevator. I move slowly as I reach and enter the place. I placed the food in the fridge and go straight to the bathroom to wash up and change. I wet some towel when I am done and wipe the kids face. I forgot their clothes in Beam's car so I just let their clothes earlier on.
I then wipe Beam's face and body too and pulled out his pants leaving him with his boxers. I know he can't sleep comfortably with his pants on. He stirred a little and I watch him put his hands over the twins, hugging them closer to him. I smile at the sight and give him a peck on his lips . I move to the other side of the bed and lie down too after putting the towel and Beam's pants on the laundry basket. I place my arm over his and stare at him.
I whispered and I saw his lips move upward and smile on his sleep. With that sight on my mind I close my eyes and hold his hand as I let the tiredness and sleepiness take over my senses.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.

"You know what I hate about you?" His minty breath fanning my face. He placed his hands on the wall right beside my head.

I breathed nervously."You reminded me of her," he whispered into my ear, "and I fucking hate it." He pushed himself away from me and slammed the door shut.
