My Best Photo's

a certainty

Maura has been out of the hospital for a week. All he did was sit in his room, sit by the window and stare at the bright nature as winter was about to pass.

When he was discharged from the hospital, Maura stayed in the apartment for only two days.

Maura pleads with Ben so that he can temporarily stay at his papa's house. Ben allows Maura though he actually wants Maura to stay with him in the apartment.

Together with his sister Gerry much comfort the heart of Maura. And what's most exciting is the news about Alan's capture and his plot.

Maura doesn't want to sue Kelly. Because he knew Kelly was doing all that because he was under Alan's threat. Maura is also sorry for Kelly who is 6 months pregnant.

"Maura, can mommy come in?" ask Adriana from behind the door.

"Come in, mom" Maura said without changing her sitting position.

Iriana opened the door to Maura's room. His face immediately looked sad to see Maura who looked desperate with her eyes moist because she was crying too much.

"What do you regret, baby?" iriana asked and sat down beside Maura.

"Why do I know Alan? Why did he have to kidnap me when I just felt something growing in my stomach. I want this child, I'm really happy to be a mother" Maura's tears broke again.

Iriana stroked the princess' head lovingly "God will give you another chance to get pregnant."

Maura wiped away her tears "I don't think it's possible, mom"

"Why?"

"I want to split up with Ben"

"Why?"

Maura took a deep breath "With this baby gone, I'm sure God is telling me that Ben and I are not a match."

Iriana shook her head "No dear, Ben loves you"

Maura smiled wryly. He has been firm with his decision.

********

Ben was frustrated. For 1 week Maura was at his parents' house, Maura did not allow Ben to stay there. I don't know what Ben has done so he feels like Maura wants to stay away from him.

Like tonight, finishing dinner together, Maura headed straight to her room. Ben soon followed him.

"Darling...!" call Ben when you open the door.

Maura was sitting on the sofa staring at the TV screen.

Maura looked at him "Come on Ben. I want to talk"

Ben came in and sat down next to his wife "Honey, when are you going to stay here? I'm lonely always sleeping alone"

Maura looked at Ben boldly "Ben, do you love me?"

Ben stared at the black bead in front of him with question marks. "Why are you asking that?"

"Jawab it, Ben"

Ben took a deep breath. Saying sweet words full of love is not difficult for him. But with Maura, Ben does not want to seduce. Ben doesn't want just a word. Ben wanted to be honest with all the flavor he wanted to have on Maura.

"I love you, Ma" said Ben at last, holding Maura's hand.

"But you don't love me, do you?" maura asked with a curious look. He pulled his hand from Ben's.

"I want to be with you. I told you that when I promised God to be faithful to you for the rest of my life, I said it with all earnestness. I want to spend my whole life with you"

"But you don't love me, Ben. I'm sorry, I read your diary you kept in a closet in your study. You still keep all of Faith's photos there. You wrote that she was the most beautiful woman you've ever met in your entire life. Only then do you feel that the woman needs to be fought for, needs to be loved and needs to be cared for. I read how broken your heart was when you let Faith go back to her husband."

"Is it because you read that and you want to stay at your parents' house?"

"Yes. All the events I just experienced made me realize that we'd better be apart"

"What?" Ben's stunned.

Maura threw away her face. He couldn't look at those blue eyes.

"Ma, Faith is my past. I admit that he was the one who made me realize not to mess with women anymore. I can't be with her because she loves Ezekiel. God has brought us together in a unique way. You know why I agreed when mommy showed me your picture? Because I'm sure that we'll both be happy together. You're so different from all the girls I've been with. You're even a lot different than Faith" Ben took a deep breath and then he resumed his words.

"In the meantime, I will never betray you. I would never leave you. Even if you ask me a thousand times to leave, I also have a thousand reasons to stay by your side" Ben said confidently. In his grasp Maura's hand gently kissed him lovingly.

"We're married, ma. And for me that marriage is once in a lifetime." Ben stood he looked down and kissed Maura's head.

"I'll go, baby. I'm not gonna bother you. But remember, I will never be separated from you. If you're ready, come back to the apartment. I always meant it to you" Ben stepped away leaving Maura's room in anguish.

In his room, Maura held onto his chest which suddenly hurt. "I love you, Ben. Love you so much" Maura said softly among her sobs.

*********

Faith looked at the man standing near the Thames guardrail. He stepped slowly and approached the man.

"Benn....!" call gently.

Ben looked over in shock "Faith? What are you doing here? Is Ezekiel not going to look for you? It's been a.10pm" Ben said after glancing at his watch.

"Ezekiel is telling me there...! faith pointed to a black car parked not far from there.

"He's still a possessive man"

"It's because he loves me and I love him too"

Ben turned his back "Where do you know I'm here?"

"Your mommy said that"

"He's still following me"

"Because he loves you, Ben. He always thinks about your happiness" Faith stood next to Ben.

"Why did you let Maura stay at her parents' house?" maura asked to see Ben just shut up.

Ben smiled cynically "I gave him a chance to follow his heart. I really went home"

"Ben, do you love her?"

"I love him. And I while struggling to love her with all my heart. He thinks I still love you. That's why she doubted my sincere intentions for her"

"How does Maura know, Ben?"

"He read my diary about you"

"Why did you record it all, Ben?"

"At that time my best confiding friend was just that diary. My cousin Edward has returned to Seoul. He is the person I trust the most. Regarding that diary, I've even forgotten that I've written it all"

Faith patted Ben on the shoulder "Don't take too long because she might want you to pick her up."

Faith smiled seeing Ben looking at her with a surprised face.

"What's up, Ben?"

"You're growing up now. Your words are getting wiser. "

Faith just chuckled "I came home first yes.my twin must have meant it."

Ben stared at Faith's departure with pleasure. He loved Faith very much. But his feelings for Faith are currently only limited to his sister.

Ezekiel looked at his wife who got into the car.

"How dear?"

"I think Alicia's aunt loves Ben too much. Ben's gonna be fine. He just needs it himself."

"Call go home now?"

"Yes dear."

Ezekiel runs his car. Splitting the cold London night.
