Important Note

@dennnmarcLouis panicked, his boss demanded to use a parachute, but none of them can be found inside the cabin. The pilot announced, “Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!” There were only six of them in the private plane, the two pilots, two cabin crews, his boss, and Louis. At that moment, they lose hope of surviving. Louis brings out his phone and saw two recorded messages. He listened, and after he finished it. He cried with a heavy chest; his tears continue to flow. “My baby! My baby! I am so sorry!” He selected the wedding photo in his gallery and kissed it. Then the plane finally touched the water and started to sink. -
@popurriThe house was small but comfortable, with a corridor where some ferns were hung, with a brightly lit living room and kitchen, with white painted walls. Two bedrooms were furnished with beds and closets and the bathroom was very large with a bathtub, which Maria Isabel loved. Outside there was a small swimming pool with a cement border and surrounded by bushes that kept it hidden. They didn't give her any information about the owners, but she imagined they had been happy in that house. -
@jane1289The woman navigates the chair's lever to turn front, she remains silent as she looks at two new visitors in the room. Her calm mood surprises Doctor Roberts. Jay, on the other hand, covers his mouth in disbelief. His mouth starts to tremble and cold liquid starts to form in his eyes.-
@bettyhandayaniThe shop owner's mother replied, "I don't really know you either. It's been more than a month like this. Approaching and whispering to passers-by”
"Whispering. Whispering what, ma'am? " I asked, curious
"According to the narratives of those who had approached him, the old man often whispered, "Be careful in loving from all your heart, Be careful in loving from all your heart, Be careful in loving from all your heart. "-
@iyimogaJoe, you were once without her. How did you live then?
You were at a point alone and doing well at that point. Why then is it different now you can not keep on hurting yourself and people around you because of what you and I know can be mitigated?
Please call yourself back from where you are. Go back to that point you started but if you feel you can go on with it this way then you have to be strong at least I am here for you.
Joe picked up his pieces and moved on and that was the beginning of his revival.-
@itsostylishIt was such a sweet neighbourhood; she thought it quite crazy that she’d never set eyes on it before.
On the corner of the road, she turned into a wide avenue lined with massive weeping jacarandas, the pavement was gloriously shaded in hues of purple and soft petals carpeted the stones under her feet. Breathtakingly gorgeous, but she felt a slight shiver of unease rattle her when she realised how quiet everything was. Contemplating the stillness, she realised that she hadn’t seen another soul since she’d stepped into paradise.
Not a single person. -
