“Do you Johann Caleb Vergara, take Maria Brittany Sarmiento to be your lawful wife, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?”Even though I knew it was a fake ceremony, I still could not help but be nervous. I feel it is all true. I feel like Caleb and I are really getting married. Everything is realistic. All the things around us are like those seen at a wedding. Even the Priest’s dress was realistic as well as what Caleb and I were wearing. What is missing is our parents and other important people in our life who will witness the most important day in our lives together.Caleb and I face the Priest and listen to what he says. My full attention was on the Priest and Caleb alone. I can no longer hear the noise from my friends and classmates because they have been thrilled before. Is it really like this? The happiness of one is the happiness of all? That is what we call class un
“Brittany, your birthday is coming up. What’s your plan?” Dad asked in the middle of our breakfast.He just came home last night from their 3 days business trip. Dad also won't go to work today to rest. That's better because it is dangerous when Dad is overworked.He needs to rest, he deserves that because of his hard work and determination in our business.Ever since Mom passed away, Daddy's world has revolved around work and me. He no longer tried to recognize Mom’s replacement. I said that it is okay with me if he likes something. He deserves to be happy and I don't mind that. But even if I force Dad, he really doesn't want to. He didn’t want to replace Mommy. He is so loyal to the point that even without Mom, she and she are the only ones my Daddy will love.That's why Dad's attention is focused on managing our business. This is all he focuses on. Though busy at work, he never disappoints me to give his attention to me, even the luxurious things that I want, he always gives it to
"What time does the event start later, Bri?"My classmates approached me after our last subject. They are asking me now what time my birthday party will start. I will celebrate tonight and almost all of them were excited, especially the women. Probably because I invited students I knew from the other well-known Universities, and that school is exclusive for boys only. So they are very happy, especially Kez and Reign, they will be noticed again tonight and meet some guys to be flirted with. This is the main reason why they are here. They know that I know a lot of people from different universities who will attend the birthday party. And one more thing, I just got ready to party at our house again. I would rather choose as I am the only one attending their houses.“8:00 PM is the start and it is definitely okay to be late. The guard of our village will still let you all in because Dad has already told them about the event. Just give this invitation to the guard as proof that you’re invi
It's been two days since Caleb confessed to me but the smile still lingers on my lips. Friday night was memorable to me, it was my birthday and it was also the day that Caleb admitted how he felt for me. Everything that happened that night seemed like a dream that was impossible to happen but fortunately, it did happen! I never thought I would experience such a thing. I experienced feeling that I was important, he sincerely felt for me and he showed how much he really liked me. In that way, he indeed proved himself to me.When a man really loves you, you don’t have to ask them what they should do because they themselves will take the initiative to do that thing that they know will make you happy. There's no need to order them on the things that they will do.It's Sunday night today and tomorrow, I'll see Caleb again. Every weekend, Caleb doesn't come here and he's just at their house. He and his brother are the only two who are expected to take care of Uncle Dante and their Mother's h
"I'm sorry, Bri." His voice was full of remorse and conscience. He has not yet been able to face me and look straight into my two eyes. It was like the weight of the sin he had committed against me.As far as I know, he has done nothing wrong to me. Wait? What if he really has faults with me but he just doesn’t say it? Is he hiding something from me that is his fault?But what is that? And then do I have the right to be angry?I turned to him to find out why he was sorry. "For what?" I asked him because I was confused.He sighed before he answered me. “I didn't pick you up yesterday. I think I waited for you a long time before I called you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.”I smiled. I wondered what was his fault. Just for that? His sin is superficial, but his reaction is too much, it seems like I can't forgive him.I just don't care that he didn't pick me up yesterday. I understand if there is an emergency. I understand if an important person was with him yesterday.Reign knows h
I can't relax in my seat. Since earlier I was looking around at their table. The hunger I felt before was gone because I also lost my appetite to eat after what happened.My attention was just on the two of them. The fun they had while eating lunch while I, I hadn’t even touched the food in front of me. I have really lost my appetite because of what I see now. Who doesn't? Caleb's smile was steady as he spoke to that woman I had just seen. In Caleb's reaction, it seemed like he had known it for a long time. That's exactly what I think.“Bri, it's not eyes that get full. The stomach should be full this lunch break. Eat instead of wasting time looking at Caleb and the woman he's talking to now. Don't waste the food you ordered.” Reign scolded me in the middle of her meal.After I found out the name of the woman with Caleb, I couldn’t help but feel insecurities. Add to that its almost perfect physical appearance, my insecurities will really eat me up. After all, I have nothing against T
"Did you hear the news?" As soon as I entered our classroom, a group of my classmates opened up to me. They all formed a large circle in the middle so they could talk face to face. "Franco is one of the two who is said to be a transferee and Trisha is said to be the other. I don’t know what’s their connection but they said they met and they came home from the States at the same time. It’s like there’s something in them, isn’t it?”This is them again giving the issue to everything that is happening. Even if they don’t have enough proof to justify their conclusions, they still think about what their judgments are.I quietly walked to my seat. They didn’t notice me passing by their side because they were still busy talking. I also don't want them to know that I have entered because it is likely that all their attention will go to me and they will never stop asking me questions. I was not in the mood to answer their questions.“But I saw that woman yesterday in the cafeteria with Caleb. T
18I was relieved to see outside the car window that we were right in front of the house. Finally, I was home. In this place, I pour it all out. Even though no one knows and no one sees whenever I cry, the important thing is that I become relieved because I cry all the pain.The car I was riding in had stopped. He didn't waste any more time blowing the horn because he had no intention of going inside. The only reason it is here is to deliver me.I took a deep breath before turning to the person who delivered me.It was Franco.I let him follow me earlier and out of time we were able to talk because of my avoidance of Caleb. To avoid Caleb then he was also in the forest, I had no choice but to give in to Franco. Because of that, I got away from that place.We passed a coffee shop near the University and there, I gave Franco time to say everything he wanted to say. I forced myself to listen to him even for a few minutes. I don’t want to close my mind to his explanations. That's what I'v
