BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 123
★★★★★
★OH SUNSHINE..★
Quincy came to pick her babies as usual and after getting them in the car, they both started stuffing their faces with the snacks she got them.
“Mum you didn’t get waffles” Eugenia pouted.
“Geez!, I forgot!” Quincy replied.
“Oh no but I want it badly” she said sadly.
“Eat ice cream instead” Eugene said, offering a plate of ice cream.
“I want waffles!” Eugenia said.
Quincy smiled and unzipped her bag.
“Tan!” She said, bringing out two waffle cookies.
“OMG my waffles!” Eugenia said , taking the two immediately.
“I’ll never forget my baby’s waffles” Quincy said.
“I love you so much mummy” Eugenia kissed Quincy’s cheeks.
“I love you more princess” Quincy smiled.
“I’m jealous” Eugene said jealously.
Quincy smiled and gave him a kiss on his forehead.
“I love you mum, we have the prettiest mum in the whole of our school” he said proudly and Quincy smiled.
“Really?”
“That’s right mum, you’re the most beautiful mother in our school, you’re curvy too, I want to be curvy like you in the future” Eugenia said and Quincy laughed.
“You guys are something else”
“Yes I’ll be curvy like you and I want to be beautiful like you too so I’ll be a popular model” Eugenia continued.
“I’ll surely grow handsome like dad and become a K-pop idol like him, a model too” Eugene said.
Quincy hugged them both at a time.
“Just work hard towards it ok?”
“Yes mum, but a guy saved me in school today” Eugenia said.
“We agreed not to talk about it” Eugene whispered beside her.
“I heard that, are you both planning to keep something from me?” Quincy asked.
“No mum…ok Eugenia would have fallen in school but a guy saved her” Eugene said.
“Yes, his name is Mr G” Eugenia smiled.
“I never wanted to admit it but I need to say he’s handsome, very handsome, he said he came to see someone in our school” Eugene said.
“Mr G?” Quincy asked curiously.
“Yes, he was wearing a cap and he asked questions about our mum” Eugenia said and Quincy quickly faced her.
“Huh?, Like… how’s your mum doing?, Did he ask if I’m eating well?” She asked and the kids looks surprised.
“Exactly, how did you know?” Eugene asked.
“His brows are full” Quincy said.
“Yes” Eugenia replied.
“He has a mole down his nose bride” Quincy said quickly and Eugenia gasped.
“Mum did you see him too?, Yes he has” she replied and Quincy tapped the driver.
“Drive back to the school” she said and he obeyed immediately.
“Mum why are we going back?” Eugene asked.
“I need to check something” she replied impatiently and the kids exchanged glances.
“Stay in the car ok?” Quincy said to the both of them when they finally got back to school.
She got down from the car and rushed into the school.
“Do you think mum knows him?” Eugenia asked.
“Maybe” Eugene replied.
Quincy started running around the whole school, looking for Genny.
If he has thick brows and has a mole down his nose bridge then it’s definitely him, no other person.
“Genny!” She called as she walked.
She started sweating as she searched, hoping she’ll just bump into him by chance.
Her heels almost made her fall and her ankle sprained but she kept searching till she got to the end of the school.
She started limping back dejectedly and tears came out of her eyes as she limped.
“Genny I miss you” she said to herself.
She got back to the car and the kids are asleep already.
They drove home and they woke up then ate with Antonio.
“Are you still going back to the office?” Antonio asked.
“Yes, I’m not done yet” she smiled.
“You need to take all next week off, I don’t want you getting sick” he replied.
“I’ll be back dad” she blew kisses to the twins and they returned it as she left the house.
She got to the office and met Miguel waiting already.
“I wish I came earlier, I’d have gone with you to pick the kids” he smiled when she came into the office.
“It’s fine, I got them already” she replied and took her seat in front of him.
“What can I help with?” He asked as she got her pen.
“Nothing, I’ll be done soon” she replied.
“We’re still going for lunch together remember?” He asked.
She checked the time. “Past 3” she said.
“It doesn’t matter Quincy, just get your job done and let’s go” he said and she nodded before concentrating.
He noticed she’s sweating and started fanning her with his hands.
She ran out of ink in her pen and was about to get another one but he placed his own on her palms.
She smiled before resuming work .
Within thirty minutes, she’s done .
They left the office together.

BACK IN THE HOUSE**
“We’ll be in our room grandpa” Eugene said after they finished eating with Antonio.
“You guys won’t play with me today?” He yawned.
“It’s obvious you’re feeling sleepy” Eugenia replied and he smiled.
He widened his arms and they hugged him before going upstairs, he went to his room too and immediately he fell on his bed, he fell deeply asleep.
Ten minutes later, the door slowly opened and Eugene peeped in, Eugenia peeped in below him and when they saw he’s asleep already, they went in.
“Walk slowly” Eugene whispered as they walked.
They tiptoed to the bedstand where Antonio’s phone is and Eugene got it.
He faced Eugenia and they smiled at each other before leaving the room.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER**
Eugene looked at Eugenia and sighed.
“Maybe we’re not really smart” he said.
“Was just about to say that” Eugenia replied.
“What the hell is grandpa’s password?” Eugene said, looking Antonio’s phone on the table.
They dropped it there since they’ve tried everything they know but it won’t open.
“Let’s try his name” Eugenia said.
“You think people still use their names as password these days?, Gosh I thought you’re smart” Eugene replied and Eugenia pinched him lightly.
“Ouch!”
“I’m smart ok?” She said.
“Bully” Eugene laughed.
“Ok let’s get this done together” she replied and took the phone again.
“Let’s say the first thing that comes to our minds at the same time” Eugenia said and Eugene nodded.
They stared at each other for long…
“Our date of birth!” They chorused and Eugenia smiled before typing it, it opened.
“Yes!” They stuck hands.
They clicked Google immediately.
“Mr Korea five years ago” Eugenia typed and they waited impatiently.
It finished loading quickly and when they saw his name, they smiled.
“Genova Alejandro?, Aww!, Dad’s name is cute!” Eugene said.
“I know right?, Where do I click for pictures” Eugenia said and Eugene took the phone from her.
He clicked on pictures and it brought many of it.
He clicked on one and blinked.
“Wait….” Eugenia said shockingly too.
They both took a close look at the picture before looking at each other.
“Mr G!, whoaaaaaa!!!!!!!” They screamed.

A RESTAURANT, 4PM**
Quincy is only eating a forklift per five minutes, she’s busy staring into space, thinking about what her kids said earlier.
She hasn’t been able to take her mind off it, it’s definitely him.
Her fork suddenly fell from her and she woke up from her thoughts.
Miguel stood and picked the fork, he placed it on the tissue and gave her a new one which she took slowly.
“What’s wrong Quincy?, You can talk to me you know” he said, still not sitting.
She started crying immediately and he came closer.
“Please don’t cry, please” he said, wiping her tears with his thumbs.
“He’s close, I can just feel it, I can almost smell his scent, the usual lavender chamomile” she said.
“Him?” He asked slowly.
“Yes, he’s around, every part of my body is telling me Miguel” she said and continued crying.
Miguel wiped her tears again and hugged her.
“I wish he’d really come back to you, can’t watch you crying everyday anymore” he said.
******
8PM, KRINGLE PARK**
Quincy strolled the park, looking at the various couples around.
The fact that Genny asked her out in a park makes her visit the park everyday.
She dipped her hand into her pullover pockets and zipped it up completely.
She brought out her muffler since it’s so cold.
She wrapped it around her neck and sniffed.
She looked at the rollercoaster and remembered that night again.
The most beautiful night of her life at the park in Korea where her sunshine asked her out.
“WILL YOU BE MY ALWAYS?” His voice echoed in her ears and she smiled but at the same time, she’s crying and despite the fact that she’s heavily dressed, she’s already feeling cold.
She looked at the rollercoaster again and decided to climb though she’s always scared to climb alone but she decided to try it out.
She was shaking as she climbed and she finally sat.
Maybe cos of the cold, the numerous couples she saw earlier are all gone and the last couple are just leaving.
She brought the hourglass out of her pocket and kissed it.
“I miss you so much Genny, I want to see your face again please stop hurting me” she sobbed and and a raindrop dropped on her hand.
She looked up but before she could look down, it started raining.
Her cold tripled but she just held the glass tightly as the rain started getting bigger.
The rumbling of something made her wonder what’s coming.
She got no idea till the rain stopped drenching her.
Someone actually covered her with an umbrella.
The person sat beside her, holding the umbrella up, making sure the rain is not touching her anymore.
His scent filled her nose immediately and her heartbeats became abnormal, her heart raced as she stared at him.
He’s wearing a face cap and a mask.
The rain kept pouring but it’s not drenching them, thanks to the umbrella.
Quincy started moving her shaky hands to his face and he didn’t bother to stop her.
She took off his cap in a slow no and swallowed nothing, throwing it down.
She took off his mask in a slow mo too and when she finally saw his face, the hourglass fell from her together with the mask.
He didn’t change at all, still as handsome and hot as ever.
Her long lost sunshine is sitting in front of her, staring into her eyes deeply.
The face she misses madly is mirroring hers right now, her lock and key is protecting her from the rain.
Just like it felt in Korea…that night when he asked her out at the park on the rollercoaster, same feeling is what she’s getting right now.
“Sunshine” she whispered and tears fell from her wide eyes.
“I told you not to ever enter the rain, you’re still stubborn.. pinkie” he whispered back.
