“Mike’s POV”I was watching around the venue, searching for my cousin who’s her birthday was today, where is she? It’s impossible that she forgets this special day because this is the only day we are being together.My eyes found Aly’s coming, my feet automatically walks in her direction, “Aly, have you seen my cousin or is she with you?” I asked her curiously. It was the first time that she’s late in this event.“She’s not with me, isn’t she coming today?” she asked me back as she searched for her around.“They need to come as soon as possible or else, grandpa Pacito might doubt their relationship,” I whispered to Aly.“I know that but I guess, Steph will only arrive today,” she uttered as if she can tell the future.“What do you mean? Did they fight again?” my heart was throbbing rapidly for her.

She is indeed an elite just like what I heard from other people.I have no idea that it was her birthday today, if I know…I should prepare a present for her. It’s not like I care for her or she’s special to me to prepare such thing for her but I care on what his parents and relatives thinks of me. Nevermind! I am already here and I can’t do anything, I will just buy her a present the other day.She have been clinging into my arms, sometimes I can’t stop wondering why she is doing it for it doesn’t makes sense at all. Is she doing it so she can hold me?I let her to do anything she’d like to do with me not because I am falling for her, I don’t want to ruin her special day and I don’t I have to disagree with her today.

And I guess she will not let that incident slip, she seems to be enjoying to ruin my day!I secretly poke Caspian to make him explained everything to everyone the trouble he went through but I noticed that he have no plan to clear it to everyone. I don’t know, I have no idea what expression he was showing to me, he seems to be afraid and that makes me laugh at him and now, all of their attention were all on me.“What is funny learning that your husband is cheating on you, Steph? Have you gone crazy?” Brenda says. She really have a sharp tongue that I want to cut one day. She’s a mood wrecker.“You seems to be having a problem with your head, you should go see a psychiatrist to get check!

Steph can’t believe in her husband’s action, and she’s wondering how did he found out all of the things he knew about her even though they aren’t talking about personal matters.The celebration have passed, Steph received different gifts from the guests, family, and relative. She was glad on her birthday but there is one thing she’s been wanting to see and that is Caspian’s surprise for her.Stephanie really believes that he has something for her and that is the reason why that smile on her face can be noticed for too long.Caspian noticed his wife looking around as if she is bored sitting, “would you like to leave now?” He asked.She turns to him and smile, “sure.”“Then… let’s go?” He hesitantly invites his wife to leave but he is quite nervous thinking if the surprise he is talking about is set in the venue for he only asked for help in his friends. He doesn’t want to disappoint her this time.He have no idea why he is eager to make his wife happy today but he reasoned that he want
“Steph’s POV”I’m trying to set aside my feelings for him but I can’t help but fall for him and I am not sure if I can forget my feelings for him or give him a second chance.I know that everyone deserves a second chance, maybe I misunderstand him and misinterpret his actions towards others. I believe that he can still change desite of the things he have done.“It’s getting cold, ling,” he uttered. I saw his friends turns to him and watches him.I furrowed my brows when I saw him rose and suddenly took off his coat and drapes it over my shoulder.“Thank you,” I shyly stated.“Woaaah!! What is the meaning of this, Caspian?! You called her ling or darling! Did we heard it right, col. Ardiente?” Ivan is teasing us and looked at each other as if their eyes have understood what they are trying to say.“I heard that too,” Brent grins from ear to ear. “What’s the big deal of calling my wife darling or ling?” my husband asked them back.“Nothing. We didn’t mean anything about that, we are ju
“Are you tired? Do you want to go home now?” Caspian bravely inquires when no one of them speak.Steph quickly wipes her tears away, “s-sure.”Caspian lower down the fire on the hot air balloon as it goes down on the land, he get down first and accompanied his wife to get off from the ride but she didn’t accept his kind help and hop out on her own.“Let’s go, I am sleepy,” she says and walks fast.“I need to start avoiding him from now on because I know that he will never love me back but why he can’t love me in return? Am I unlovable? Am I not enough to him? Am I not deserve to be love?” she pitied herself, she hastily wipe the tears that escape from her eye.“Let me open the door for you,” he offered.“No need. I can do it on my own, I don’t want to get used to your presence. Maybe one day, you are no longer on my side to do it all of it for me. I don’t want to get used to it,” she sadly uttered opening the door and hops in.She waited for him to come in but he didn’t came inside, s
“Why don’t you rest more? Maybe you are still tired. I am planning to show you my gift for you yesterday but didn’t expect you to fell asleep. I will just bring it here, I am in hurry.” Her husband told her.She gestured her fingers agreeing to his suggestion and return to her room without saying anything to him. She was planning to go out after he is done leaving the gift in their place.She lay down on bed and listen to her playlist until she didn’t realize that she fell asleep.Caspian already reported in the headquarters and preparing for the incoming batch of trainee officer he will handle. “Buddy, it’s good to see you again!” Jerome shouted that caught his friend’s attention.

“What brought you here and why are you pulling a long face?” Luigi inquired seeing Steph’s in a bad mood, he turns his back to arrange the files on his desk.Steph took off her slippers and put it on top of the sofa and laid her body on it, she sadly stared at the ceiling. She sighed deeply before replying to his query, “I don’t understand what I felt right now. I don’t know but I am having a hard time to cope with it.” she complains at her friend doctor.“It seems like you forget that your problem is not part of my skills to heal your wounded heart because of your love,” he says thinking that she’s only kidding at him.“I know that. I-I simply want someone I can lean on during the time I am feeling weak and I expect you to be my companion but I seem to be wrong on that,” he heard her voice broke and was surprised when she walk out of his office.Luigi held her hand and stops her from walking out, he turns her to him and witness her tears rolls over her cheek and hugs her as he patted
