niko followed his wife’s gaze, wiping his foot and sandal once the rag was within his reach. he pressed his lips together at the baby blue tinge left on his foot. “or … we could go into the cabinet and just get some cleaning supplies.” he spoke half heartedly, knowing her enough to let her own thing. he took a few more steps into the apartment, limping slightly in case his foot still held paint. “vinegar could work with stains too.” he spoke up, pulling out a water bottle from the fridge.
Nova paused in her steps as she jumped onto the couch. “You always pick the complicated route.” Nova teased as she typed on the computer. She gave a big smile to the other. “Vinegar! That’s what these results say!” Nova smiled. “Did I ever tell you, you are a genius, honey.” Nova said as she went to the cabinet. “Should we use apple cider or white vinegar?” Nova asked holding out the bottles.
“EXCUSE ME,” she called after the woman, “where did you get your dress?”
Nova paused and walked backward. “My dress?” Nova asked. She gives a smile. “I got it from a thrift store at the corner.” She smirked. “But I added some sequins to give it that extra sparkle.” She did a small twirl. “Why you ask?” Nova wondered.
“ oh i think SOMETHING could be arranged. tell me… how desperate are you for gainful employment ? i could help you out … for a price. “
“I would like any type of employment.” She strummed the instrument. “Just enough to get art supplies and the basics utilities.” She stood up. “And a new phone for my husband.” Nova winked. She smiled. “What’s your price?”
She raised a brow, eyes noticing the ukulele and her eyes widened. “What… What is that?”
“Oh my ukelele?” Nova asked raising the instrument slowly. “I got this from an airport-I added the sparkles though,” Nova said. She handed it to the other. “I can teach you how to use it.”
Vicki thought for a moment. “Things probably have changed in the past thirty years.” Yikes, she did not even think about it. How math could be different, it couldn’t be right? She let out a soft laugh when she snapped out of her thoughts. “Well, that’s good that you aren’t living in a box.”
Nova shook her head. “They might have just tweaked some stuff but I don’t think it’s anything major. Nova smiled. “Of course not! I don’t think I would survive if I wasn’t grounded.” Nova held out her hand. “I’m Nova.”
“I’ll sing you a song for a job opportunity.” Nova smiled as she strummed a tune on her ukelele. it was unorthodox but more direct then applying online. “I’ll also accept cash.”
“Not really, today just called for a shot or twenty.” Anna smiled when Nova took the drink.
“Did anything happen today?” Nova asked, looking curiously at the other. Nova smiled at the bartender, trying to make sure they would get some privacy. “Another round for both of us.”
“Well, I’m trying to take a test to get my high school diploma.” She mumbled before sighing. “But the material is so boring.” She raised an eyebrow. “Are you an artist?”
“High school is boring but I imagine it must be worse in test form.” Nova remarked with a chuckle. “I consider myself one yes despite not going to a fancy art school.” She shrugged. “But I’m not starving too much.” She jokes.
at the familiar face, and the words of apology, elena shakes her head, waving it off because it wasn’t needed —- it was just her being nervous about this new adventure, and scared that fate was probably sneaking up on her. “ no — you don’t need to apologise, it’s just me, i’m a little —- no, a LOT on edge.” she breathes, laughing, a hint of a smile at her mouth. “ oh, was it the best day of your life ? it’s always said that it’s the BEST DAY of a girls life. i’ve thought about my wedding since i was a child. i used to always talk to my mother about it, about when i’d grow up —- and meet my prince.” she laughs again, shaking her head in embarrassment. “ as you can see, i used to think i was a princess ! but —- but i’m here now … because it’s actually happening.”
Nova looked at the other in concern. “You are always free to use your imagination around me.” Nova gave a sincere smile. “It was one of the best days in my life. Then seeing my husband becoming a citizen is a close second.” Nova’s smile increased. “Are you saying you found your prince charming?” Nova inquired her excitement showing in the question. It was exciting to hear such words.
“I think that was the most incredible first date I’ve ever been on,” she chirped happily to the person next to her. “I mean really I’ve never met anyone as sweet as him.”
“That’s good news!” Nova exclaimed with a smile. She moved to the table next to her. Nova loved hearing about love stories.“Mind telling me more about this gentleman?”
“You’re gonna do another shot with me, right?” She handed the other person the glass whether they wanted it or not.
“I’ll do my best-” Nova said drinking the second shot. She has drunk before but only on special occasions. Nova made a face before talking. “So you do this often?”

She was an oracle in her past life, a strong worshipper of Hermes. Agneta was her name She worked her way up through the temples. Agneta was dedicated and strong. She was known as the wise and bravest worshipper, even going against the consuls Agneta became a high priestess at a young age, sacrificing everything to please Hermes. Died at a young age of an arrow shot in her chest.
Years have passed before Agneta was reincarnated as Duanphen Jerakit, the youngest of five children from a family in Clark County, Nevada. Her childhood was normal until the visions started seeping through the cracks. It started small with images like numbers or storms. But they got bigger and bigger. Finally, they all came ahead around Nova’s 22 second birthday when she saw her father bleeding to death. She begged her father not to go but he insisted on his little girl. Her father did pass away from blood loss.
Duanphen was lost. She barely passed community college with a general arts degree. Too distraught to go to art school, she walked around her room. Finally, it was one vision that helped her again. A set of lottery numbers. On the off chance, she bought the ticket and got enough money to leave. She cut her hair short and decided to head to Asia. Duanphen was ow Nova.
Her art and traveling helped the grieving progress. She drew and saw the sights. But not one sight was handsome than one man in particular. She drew his profile that day but she didn’t know that it would be her future husband Niko Isidro.
When they met again, Nova felt her heart skip a beat. There was something about him that made her swoon. He was older but he had a sense of bravery and wiseness to him. Nova fell for the man hook line and sinker. They have married soon after.
The process to make Niko a citizen was tedious but it was something she was willing to help with. Nova was willing to teach Niko all the English and stayed up with him so he could pass. To Nova, this was love and dedication that was worth it that love. Hence the opportunity to come to San Fransico.

“insublim dagiti pintam jay kwartom, kankanayon!” the man couldn’t stop the shouting, fueled by his condition (he would call it over species). he sighed a few seconds later, his eyes dropping to the paint on his foot and the floor. “this is going to stain. great.” he sighed again, looking back up at her. “honey.” he responded back, the word still felt odd, though it slipped out of his mouth so casually these days. “we need to stop being forgetful of our things.” his eyes locked on hers at the we. “can you hand me a rag and something to clean this up?”
Nova only flinched a little.It was hard sometimes being only able to understand Thai but she knew enough that it involved the paints. Nova nodded as she grabbed the rag. “I thought I put it back with my supplies.” She looked at the stain on the rug. “They’re must be another way to do it.” She snapped her fingers. “I’m going to look it up online!!” Nova said looking for her laptop.
Vicki waved her hand. “No harm.” She looked at the book in hand before shrugging. “Just studying for nothing I guess. I’ve been reading random stuff.” She looked at the other. “And yourself?”
Nova gave a small smile. “I see.” Nova looked at the other. “It’s always important to study new things-you never know when it will come in handy.” Nova looked at her book. “Learning more about the modern art styles- Post Impressionism is the one I currently obsessed with.”
Being so wrapped up in her studies, she didn’t even notice the library filling with people or even someone approaching the table she was at. She was taking notes off of things she thought was important. Jumping at the whisper, she looked up. “Oh.” She looked around before nodding. “Knock your socks off.” She gestured to an empty seat.
Nova smiled and settled in the empty chair. ‘Sorry to interrupt again. It’s just hard to find an empty table these days.” She giggles to herself. “So what are you up to?” Nova asked seeing the notepad on the table.
“okay lang kami ‘toy san fran, ma. haan – ammom ‘suna.” he nearly had to kick the door open with the key hanging in the keyhole, his hands preoccupied with a one man tent and heavy duffle hanging behind him. “wun ma. addak ‘toy balay. bye. – bye ma.” he answered with a small smile. it took a few steps into the apartment for that smile to drop, paint splattered all over his foot and the floor. “ukeninayo! bwisit. nova!”
Nova was whistling as she painted. She felt like she was missing something. The blue paint! She looked at her side when she heard it. “ukeninayo! bwisit. nova!” She walked into the living room and saw the mess. “So that’s where it went...” Nova looked up and gave a sheepish smile. She knew she was going to be in trouble. “Hi, honeyyyy.”
