Chapter 9
The next morning Robin woke up in her bed. She wondered if she dreamed her date with Amon. She saw the bags of clothes that Amon had bought her and smiled. She got up and dressed for Church. She sat silently in the back of the church. The church members would smile at Robin when they pass by. Amon saw Robin in church; He went towards where she was sitting. Robin looked up when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She smiled when she saw it was Amon. She slid over to make room for him to sit next to her. She liked that Amon is somewhat a churchgoer. After mass, Amon and Robin walked out together.
"Are you busy today?" Amon had asked her
Robin wished she could say no but it was her day to go to the orphanage to visit the kids.
"Yes, I have to pay a visit to the orphanage" Robin felt guilty
"I will be busy all week, this week. I will have to find time to see you at least once this week and maybe over the weekend we can do something together" He told her
Robin nodded
She glances at her watch and notice she was already running late. She leaned over to shyly give him a goodbye kiss on the cheeks. Amon smiled at her, offered his cheeks to her, and then kisses her forehead in return.
"I'll see you sometime this week… ok" Amon waved to her
Robin went through her daily duties for that Sunday. She daydreamed about Amon every chance she gets.
That night she noticed how pale her grandfather was.
"Grandfather, Are you ok" Robin asked with concern in her eyes.
"I will be okay child, I better retire early tonight" Father Juliano answered her. He had been feeling weaker by the day. He still could not find the heart to tell Robin that he is slowly dying of cancer. He was grateful that Amon had been occupying most of Robin's time.
