We went to their mansion. I was shocked to see a lot of people. And then I realized...This is our engagement party...I bit my lip as I roamed my eyes around the surrounded, looking for Ravaniel. But I did not see him in the crowd. I promise myself that I will find a way to see him and talk to him. I will tell him everything. I am not sure if he will be here but I just so.People have been congratulating us. Ravnal was beside me, his arm around my waist the whole time. He never left my side. Of course. We were in public. A lot of people were here. He is thinking that I might tell anyone about him threatening me. But I am crazy to do that especially that I know that the bomb he planted in Ravaniel's car is still there. I am not stupid to put Ravaniel's life in danger.I do not know if I will be able to see Ravaniel here. But whatever happens, I will not let anything happen to Ravaniel.People were having fun when suddenly, we heard commotion. My heart pounded inside my chest when I sa
Without bringing anything, I rode a bus. I could not be more grateful to Jenny because she lent me some money for my transportation. I did not have any money with me. I am still so broken for the death of my baby that I was not able to work. Until now, I do not know how to continue my life. All I know is that I need to see Ravaniel. I need him by my side. I need his soothing. I need his touch. I need his kiss. I need his embrace. I need all of him. I miss everything about him.When the bus had stopped, I immediately went out of it. I still have to ride a jeepny before I reach Conlabefio. I think it will take me almost an hour."Miss, can I ask you something?" A man suddenly went to me. He was wearing a black shirt and faded jeans."Yes? What is it?" I asked politely."I think I am lost. Do you know where the terminal of bus here?" He asked confusedly."Oh!" I nodded. "It is a bit far from here. You have to go straight that way and turn left.""Can you accompany me, if it is not too mu
I cried myself to sleep that night. I do not even know what time I fell asleep. I do not even know how long I have been crying. But all I know was my heart feels so heavy and painful when I woke up the next day."Ravaniel is still outside. I think he slept in his car..."I was shocked to hear my mother's words. But I remained cold. I did not let them see any emotion in me. Ravaniel and I are done. Whatever happened between us is a sin. It was a mistake that I should forget.He is married. He has a kid. I do not have the right to be in his life and I refuse to be part of his life. I do not want to settle for a married man. I am not that desperate.And I regret everything that had happened between us.I looked at the window of my room and there, I saw his car. I am not sure if how long he has been there but I heard that since last night, his car is already there but he never went out. He remained inside his car.I swallowed. What is he still doing there if he is not coming out?"Nathrel
"Thank you so much!" I smiled at the cashier and grabbed the brown paper bag. My water jug is empty so I bought a bottled water at a convenience store. I went for a jogging this morning. Ravaniel was still asleep when I left. He was sleeping soundly. Our plan was to job together but when I woke up, I noticed that he was so tired so I just let him sleep there and went on a jogging alone.I was wearing a white sport bra and biker shorts with my white shoes. I gulped my water down before I continued jogging. I decided to buy pasta for our kids. It is their favorite food but of course I do not let them eat it every single day because it is not healthy. I entered the restaurant.There were three people inside. It is too early that is why.I sat on one of the table as I waited for the pasta. I checked my phone. There was still no message or any call from Ravaniel. He was still probably sleeping.My eyes shifted at the door entrance. A man entered the restaurant. Like me, he was also wearin
"Yula..." It was my mother's soothing voice. I tried to erase the name inside my head that has been bothering me to distraction since last night.I shifted my gaze from the dark sky to my mother. With a small smile, I faced her. I was greeted by her tired eyes. They were full of longing that I couldn't identify if what is it for. "Ma..." I whispered softly, almost inaudible.She let out a deep sigh as she walked over to me. Her steps were gentle and quite. She reached my cheek and carresed it softly. I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth brought by her fingers. "Is there something wrong? Tell me, honey. I have been calling you and it seemed that you were so engrossed with your own thoughts. You just kept on staring into the horizon..."I shook my head as a response but her gaze remained observant, scrutinizing me. "It was nothing, Ma. I just remembered the movie that I watched with Lucille yesterday. The ending was very sad and it still breaks my heart whenever I think about it." I
I was full of doubts. My chaotic mind was slowly swallowing my whole being, leaving me hopeless. While staring at the letter, I feel nothing but coldness, as though something uncanny showed in each of the letters that were written there. My palms were sweating and trembling. It was the worst feeling and I hate it. I hate it so much.I have been thinking about nothing but this letter since last night. Who's that man? Why did he give me this letter? What is he trying to tell me?I swallowed hard as I felt the throbbing in my head. It was unbearable. I squeezed my eyes shut, almost hurting them. My grip tightened around the piece of paper. I exhaled excessively multiple times.I was catching my breath when the throbbing pain had slowly subsided.I dropped my gaze to the letter. It became a bit crumpled. Sighing, I stood up and walked over to the cabinet. I rummaged through it until I found the small box. I hid the letter inside it.When I was about to close the box, suddenly, I heard a
"There's nothing special or important thing happened in your life before the accident, Yula. So if I were you, I wouldn't even bother to think about my past. I and Papa are both farmers. We are poor. If there's anything we can consider special, that is when you became the mayor's mistress," my brother casually said.I pursed my lips as I tried to decipher his words. Why did I do that? I've been hearing about this many times but I can't make myself believe in any of those rumors. I can never accept that I once ruined a family. I heard that the mayor has three children and his wife has a chronic disease. Why did I let that happen? What was I thinking? Whenever I try to remember anything, even just a bit from my past, I never succeeded. It just gives me a severe headache."That was a long time ago, Kevin. It was your sister's mistake. We should forget about that." My father emphasized each word."What? I didn't say anything! It was not my intention to offend her. I'm just trying to tel
"Where did you get those?" I asked, confusion filled my voice. A bouquet of blue and red roses was placed on our table. There was also a small pink teddy bear beside it. I just woke up and those were the first thing I have noticed in our small living room.My mother shrugged her shoulders while looking at the flowers. "They are from Simoun. They are so beautiful, aren't they?"I pouted. I walked over to the flowers and inspect it. They were so beautiful to look at, I admit. But I just can't help but feel a bit confused because this is the first time that Simoun sent flowers. Usually, he will just drop by in our house if he has something to give. And I didn't receive any message from him that he sent me these stuff. "Are you sure that they are from Simoun?" My voice was filled with doubt. I opened my phone to type a message for Simoun.- Did you send flowers?Just a seconds had passed, I received a reply from him.Simoun:- No. Why? Have you eaten your breakfast?I pursed my lips, sta
