Soulmates

Keifer hung up the call, he saw a little girl running and bumped into him, he helped her in getting up, cleans her clothes, 'are you hurt', he asked, 'yes, a little', she replied. Keifer felt a special connection with that girl, 'let me see, don't you feel like crying', he said. 'No, she's made me strong', the girl said.

Keifer smiled, 'good, what's your name?', he questioned, 'CT, I mean Cecily Tiana', she replied his expressions changed into a serious one 'Tiana?', she added 'Mariano', he was shocked.

'And she sometimes calls me CareTaker with love', CT said, Keifer's heart sank, 'who's she you mentioned about', he again asked. 'Jay', she replied, Keifer kind of lost his balance but he gathered himself up and picked up CT.

Jay was talking to Keiran, 'you've grown up , even taller than me', Jay said, Keiran smiled, 'where were you Ate, you know everything changed, Kuya is always busy with his work, and', he was saying but Keifer entered the office with CT, Jay immediately stands up, 'what are you doing here CT, go back to your class', she tried taking her back.

Keifer didn't let her, but Jay forcefully took CT, 'she's nothing to do with you', Jay said, 'who's she?', he asked, 'I told you na', she asserted, 'Steve, help him in the admission process, and also make them meet the principal', she instructed.

Jay with CT left the office, 'how did you meet him?', she asked, 'I fell while finding you, Jay, and he helped me', CT replied. 'If you ever see him again, don't go to him', Jay said, 'but he's so sweet', CT innocently said. 'Stop it, now get back to your class', she kept her down, 'I'll take you after school ends', she said.

Jay held her head, 'the world is so small, why the hell we had to meet again, when he's already a fiancée', she was walking in corridor then someone pulled her, 'Keifer, leave me', she yelled, Keifer kept his hand on her mouth to make her silent and took her to an empty room and locked the door.

Jay removed his hand, 'what the hell, what do you want', she asked, Keifer said in slow voice, 'you know what I want, who's CT', he asked very gently 'she's Mariano, is she your daughter', Jay pushed him, 'I already told you she's nothing to do with you', she said in a strict tone.

Jay was about to exit but Keifer said, 'if it is then who gave you the right to name your kid the name I chose for mine, Tiana, and even caretaker', he moved closer, blocking her with hands, breathing over her, 'how come you can...', Jay cut him off, 'though I'm not obliged to explain but to make it clear, she's daughter of Kuya Percy and his ex-girlfriend', she told him.

Keifer closed his eyes for a moment and exhaled, Jay pushed him 'I just named her, as far as I know you didn't own the fucking copyright' Jay said, 'and why do you even care, you've got your Ella back, be happy with her, your string with her never broke, right?', she taunted, 'I wish we'll never see each other again' she said and left.

Keifer punched his hand in the wall, 'fuck, everything is fucked up, nothing is going right since the day we came back from our best date', he gasped, he pulled his hair in frustration, 'why the hell Rose took name of Ella in front of her', he squats against the wall, 'Percy's daughter... but why do I feel some attachment with that little Tiana, maybe because of the name' he throws his head back.

Jay was sitting in her office rolling the paperweight, 'I didn't expect him to react that way, he still remembered the names, I told him to think something better that caretaker so he said, 'my girl will be my princess, Tiana', how I'm supposed to deal with this all', she gasped, keeping her head on the table she slept.

Keifer gets up and finds Keiran sitting in the principal office, after the final signature and paying the fees, he's admitted in school. Keifer asked, 'I heard the owner of this school is Mr Heywood then how come it's someone called Mariano now', Principal replied, 'actually sir, she wanted some orphans to get admission in school, the admission committee denied, so Ms Mariano just offered to buy the school, she's taken over but still transfer of papers are left'.

'Orphan, Percy's daughter or... I need to know this all', Keifer thought, he with Keiran left the school, 'who's that little girl with you Kuya', Keiran asked, 'I don't know, I accidentally met her', Keifer replied, 'ohh, she's cute like Ate Jay', he said.

Keifer again gets a call, 'what do you want Ella?', he said while answering the call, Ella cross questioned, 'I think that should be my question, and when you'll be back?'. Keifer replied, 'didn't I made it clear already, I'll be living in New York only, with my brothers for their studies', he hung up.

Percy came to see Jay, she's still heading down, he woke her up and saw her swollen eyes, 'what's wrong', he worriedly asked. Jay rubbed her eyes making them redder, 'nothing', she replied.

Jay gets up, 'let's go home, I'll bring CT and Joe', Percy stopped her, 'you know what, you can't hide anything from me, I'm not Aries who silently protects, but I need to know, you can't hide', he asserted.

Jay said in a slow voice, 'Keifer, I met Keifer, he's here in school', a tear dropped off her eyes, Percy was shocked, 'Keifer, here, God, the hell, how?', he asked. 'For his brother's admission', she replied, 'and even met CT', she added.

Percy placed his hand on her shoulders, 'didn't you tell him she's my daughter', Jay nodded, 'yes, I did say, but his eyes, I don't know I saw a dissatisfaction in them, like he...Kuya now what', she conveyed.

Percy told her to relax, 'everything is in God's hand', 'no, he doesn't exist, if he's then my life wouldn't have been like this', she said strictly. Percy calmed her down, 'It's almost time for marriage, let's go there, that will relax your mind', he said. Jay agrees. He also said to bring Sebi with all three kids.

The marriage was organized near a beach, it's beautifully decorated, the groom, Michael Angelo Fernandez standing on stage, waiting for his bride, and soon Ion Malfoy with her father came. Jay too arrived with CT, joined by Sebi, Misti and Joe.

As the Priest started the rituals, asked the couple to take oaths, they did, the feast was started, Ion called someone, 'hey Keifer, nice to see you after so long', Keifer smiled and congratulated her, 'thank you for making it to the wedding', she said. Keifer nodded, he turned to Angelo and shaked hands, 'Congratulations', he said.

Jay was sitting with Aries and Percy, kids were playing, Keifer's eyes goes on them, ' who are these two kids, am I just assuming too much', he thought, 'CT' his eyes were again going on her, he tried to distract himself take out his phone, but soon felt someone pulling his pants, he looked down, the tiny girl looking at him, 'you're the one saved me, thank you', she said.

Keifer bent down, his eyes were glassy, 'welcome CT', he said, CT was leaving, 'you want some ice-cream', he asked, CT became happy, 'yes'. Keifer picked her up and took her to an ice cream stall, 'which one', he asked, 'choco chip', she said. 'Even the flavor matches', he gasped.

As Jay was busy with guests, 'Who's she', Keifer pointed towards Jay, 'Jay', she replied, 'I mean who's she to you', he asked, 'uhmm...Jay, that's what I call her', she said.

'Maybe I'm wrong', Keifer thought, 'ohh, who's your parents, is he your dad', he pointed at Percy, CT was about to say something, but Sebi comes, 'CT, you shouldn't be with strangers, come here', she said.

Keifer tightens his grip on CT, 'no, he's not stranger Sebi ma', she said, 'Ma, yes I'm wrong, is she Percy's girlfriend' Keifer thought. 'he's so sweet, what should I call you', CT asked him, 'anything, you want kiddo', he said.

CT thinks for some time, 'Mr Gwapo, as I saw Jay taking this name while she's asleep', she said, 'Okay, your wish' Keifer said, Jay pulled CT, 'didn't I asked to stay away from him', she said to CT, Keifer was about to say something, but the anchor did an announcement.

'So do you know about Symposium, the theory of soulmates, it's believed that two person when sent on Earth their hearts and souls connected by the Universe and they've to find it in physical world', Anchor said, Keifer and Jay looked towards each other, the anchor continued, 'the other half is not just a partner but deeply connected by souls, it's a metaphysical relation, the fate might separate them but somehow they'll be brought together again'.

Keifer and Jay were continuously looking at each other, CT in Jay's arm, Keifer holding her hand, Ion tossed her wedding bouquet, it landed on Jay's hand, everyone looked at them, the anchor said, 'now, it's turn for Groom's cousin to get her soulmate'. Percy and Aries came near Jay, Percy took CT, Aries comforted Jay.
