“The thing is, Angelo and I met in the marriage hall. The two of us were not supposed to be married to one another, but I guess it was fate that had led us to meet that day,” Angelo began to narrate what Mark had said unto him and also used the memories of Aimie about the fateful encounter she had with Mark.
“Wait before you continue, you’ve encountered each other in the marriage hall but are not marrying one another? I don’t quite follow the logic.” Rain said as she shrugged her shoulders since she was bewildered by Angelo’s explanation.
“Let me finish everything so that you could follow my explanation,” Angelo replied in a sassy way and rolled his eyes because of the way Rain cut off his words.
Rain’s lips quivered for a second before she gestured for Angelo to continue his explanation.
“I know you’re bewildered with what I have said, but it was like what I have told you. The reason why we’ve met in the marriage hall was that because Mark and Vega w
Angelo gulps while nervously looking at the person who had a wide grin on her lips, but her eyes were void of any form of emotion. The chilling expression was not only on the face of the person sitting on the couch but was also felt throughout the surroundings, making Angelo cower in fear.“W..why are you suddenly letting out such scary expression?” Angelo asked while stuttering; it took a lot of courage for him to form coherent words in front of the person sitting on the opposite side of him.“Why did Aimie suddenly become so scary? This attitude is totally different from her memories.” Angelo grumbled in his mind as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.“Who won’t be pleased when someone was whining in his mind making me unable to cross to the other world,” Aimie said as she pointed at Angelo, it was as if she claimed that it was Angelo’s fault that her trip was postponed.“Who
“H...how can this be...” sweat trickled down Angelo’s forehead as the humiliating event of his past had kept replaying in the screen. When the vexation inside of him could not be contained, Angelo swiftly looked at Aimie with a sharp gaze. “What would get by replaying this kind of thing?”The sharp gaze Angelo gave Aimie was enough for an ordinary person to feel fear and stop their teasing, but his threat was ineffective since the person in front of Angelo was Aimie.“I guess it’s for my entertainment,” with a hint of mischievousness, Aimie responded to Angelo’s jarring provocation.Aimie then went near Angelo, placed her arms around his neck, and whispered something on Angelo’s ear, making Angelo blush and fling her arms away from his neck.“That’s ridiculous!” The shout of Angelo was heard throughout the vast land of lilies; it even echoed back to where they were standing, mak
Angelo, who had utterly become Aimie, went out of her bed with so much conviction. She changed her outfit and made her way towards the living room hoping Rain, just, as usual, would be sitting on the couch and would be reading her magazine and sipping her favorite tea.Her slow steps began to hasten as she treads the long and vast halls of Rain’s house; the steps she made were noticeable in the quiet hallway that it was impossible not to notice her haste. Aimie was panting the instant she had gotten to the living room; she even leaned her body in the entranceway of the living room.But Aimie’s expectant gaze immediately diminished when she did not see even the shadow of Rain. Aimie decided to head back to her room with no other choice since Rain was currently nowhere to be found. She didn’t try to find out if Rain was inside her room since Aimie knows that if she can’t find her in the living room, Rain would also most likely not be in her room.
“What are you doing here, Anton?” Aimie asked while trying to get away from Anton’s embrace. No wonder her heart was thumping widely; it was all because of her natural irritation with Anton. The face filled with nervousness changed into that of pure relief when he realized it was only Anton who she had bumped into.“Isn’t it me who should ask you why you are here?” Anton grabs the arm of his sister, making sure that she will not run away for him. “Don’t you know how worried Mark was when you vanished? His family even called our parents because you vanished from them.”Aimie didn’t try- to break away from Anton’s clutch; she just let Anton fire a series of questions. And when she realizes that Anton is finally done asking his questions, Aimie looks at the features of Anton intently since she is curious why Anton was in the mall that is miles away from his workplace. So instead of answering Anton’s i
Perceiving that Mark would not reply, Aimie walked away while grabbing Angelus in her hand. Aimie slowed down her steps, still hoping that Mark would try to stop her from leaving, but even when she and Angelus were already a great distance away from Mark, not a sight of Mark was seen catching up with her.After a long walk, Aimie had finally seen a long seat that she could rest on; Aimie headed there and slumped her body on the bench. The instant she had finally sat on the chair, she felt the tiredness overtake her body; Aimie placed both of her hands on the long chair and crossed her legs, making her posture look like a gangster. Angelus sat at the far end of the bench and looked at Aimie, who looked like she was finding someone to bully.Angelus contemplated whether to start a conversation with Aimie, since he could see that she was in a bad mood.“Is that man earlier your husband, sister-in-law?”Finally, Angelus spoke up since he was not t
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
