When She Left Me Part 4

    An alarmed clock rings. Larry gotup and looked at it. The clock reads 5:30 am, time to prepare the twins' lunches. He went downstairs to make breakfast. From the fridge, Larry brought out some eggs, bacon, frozen hotdogs and cheese. He also took a box of pancake mix from the kitchen shelf. In no time at all, breakfast is now ready.

    To ease the Macalajoc's growing expense, Larry sent their maid home but assured her that he will need her if he is now financially stable to pay for her services. For that, Larry has to make up for it by working thrice as hard: as a househusband, as a single father, as a working dad. Fortunately, Larry is one heck of an organizer. He made a weekly schedule from which he will follow all things that he has to do on any particular day. He even wrote all upcoming events so to make sure he wn't forget them.

    Speaking fo events, Larry almsot forgot that the day after Thursday is the twins' school play! Adding to it is today is Thursday. He quickly remebered that he promised them that he'll invite their mom. he reach out for his cellphone but he hesitates. He's not sure if Marla would care enough too see her own children but for the twins' sake, he called her anyway.

    Marla's phone is ringing, Larry's anxiously awaits her answer. The phone keeps on ringing but Marla didn't answer. He was about to hang up his cellphone when a voice prompt suddenly spoke. He listened and it was actually Marla's voice messenger, so he recorded his voice so later Marla would hear it soon.

    His wife's phone was in loudespeaker mode and was picked up by Marla herself. The phone's screen appeared and asked Marla if she wants to delete the voice message, she press "yes". A tear fell from her eye.
