SPECIAL CHAPTER 3

MELISSA QUIZON

"I like this one," I said while tasting the different flavours of the cake for our wedding.

"But, Baby, I hate strawberries." Wright's sweetly say as he caressed my thigh.

"But, I want this. Please? Just give it a shot. Hmm." As I extend the spoon to his lips.

His face turned sour and he shook. I pouted and said 'please'. He sighed and ate the cake.

Reid tugged my blouse to get my attention. "Mommy, I want to."

I split the cake and put it on my saucer and feed it to Reid. I wiped the edge of his lip because there was the icing on it. I turned to Wright and saw him spitting the piece of cake in the tissue as I frowned at him.

"Sorry." Guilt is visible on his face.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Really?"

Nervously he says "I'm sorry, okay? I don't like strawberries. But if that what makes you happy, okay fine. I can bear the taste."

  "Hi." I put down the book I was reading and looked up at the owner of that voice. I was secretly shocked to see in front of me the madness of the women all over our campus. He sat in the vacant seat in front of me then handed me a long-stemmed rose. "Uh, for you..."The women at another table started whispering again. The canteen was filled with whispering noises."What did Wright see in that woman? I'm better than her, ah.""She charmed our Wright! That bitch!""Girl, you are disgusting. Your saliva is on my arms, look!"I took a deep breath. I have been receiving insults from them for two weeks now. I'm already getting used to it. I stood up and arranged my book. I also put my bag on my shoulder. "Uh, I can't accept that. I'm sorry."I was about to leave when a warm hand grabbed my arm. The women at the other table sighed. The murmur grew louder. I confronted him. He was still holding the rose and looking at me seriously. "'Don't listen to what others

  MELISSA QUIZON"Babe, are you jealous again?" He said to me.He sat on the table while I stood between his thighs. He hugged me from the back and he squeezed his face between my shoulder and neck. At the back of my mind, I don't want to respond to that question. Because isn't that obvious? Raquel has feelings for him. Is he naïve or he knew but didn't mind?I pinched his arm when I felt so pissed. "Why is she so close to you?"I didn't bother to drop the name because I know that he has an idea of who I'm pertaining to. Wright is the lead guitarist while Raquel is the band's vocalist. I can't stop them from seeing each other. Earlier as they were practising I noticed she is looking at Wright like a delicious meal!And I'm sick of the kind of stare she’s giving to him! Damn, this is why I don’t want to get involved with him. He is making me crazy."She's my bandmate. What do you want me to do?" He pulled me even closer to him. I looked

  MELISSA QUIZONThe next day, I did not receive a single text from Wright. We are not on campus today because it is Saturday. This is the day that Wright will attend Raquel because it's her brother's birthday. I trust Wright. I know he won't break my trust. To keep negative thoughts out of my mind, I try to do my projects and homework. The midterm is near and I have the scholarship to secure.Even though I kept myself busy with school works, I still waited for his text messages or call until late at night. I couldn't stand it anymore, I called him myself. Minutes before he answered the call, "Babe." I frowned when I noticed the noise in his background. Is his radio on?"Where are you?" I asked coldly. My voice is calm but he gets it. I lay down on the bed and hugged my pillow while the cellphone was on my ear."I don't want to lie to you, Melissa. But—""Hey, Wright! Let's go! Raquel is calling us!" I heard the voice of a man in the backgr

  MELISSA QUIZON"Aunt Linda, you look more appealing than the last time we met." An elderly woman turned around, and a wide smile flashed on her face when she saw him. Wright greeted her warmly as we entered the expensive boutique. After my last subject, he immediately brought me here. He told me to find a dress that fits an unknown event."My goodness, sweetheart! You know how to run that mouth of yours. Just like my brother." She said as he hugged him.He laughed and kissed her forehead. "I learned from the best." “Happy birthday, my dearest nephew.”“Thank you, Auntie.”Today is Wright's birthday, he's twenty-one, and it's also 5th monthsary today. There will be a fancy celebration at La Mansion De Agoncillo. All rich businessmen and their relatives are invited.

Even when Wright's preboard examination is approaching, he makes time for us to be together.I hardly get home often because he doesn't want me to be separated from him. So, always lie to Granny that I always do overnight for my thesis and other projects.

  MELISSA QUIZON"Wright, please answer the call." I sobbed as I waited for Wright to answer his phone. I brushed my hand on my hair. "D-Don't do this to m-me."I felt dizzy so I immediately went to bed. I felt bad this morning and just calmed down this afternoon. I wanted to talk to Wright but suddenly, my body becomes heavy. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I don’t want to get out of my room.I know Granny is worried to me, but I can’t think of anyone but him. I don’t want to break up. When did things go out of control? We were okay last month. He is smiling at me, he looks happy. How did it turn out like this?Why break up? Did I do something wrong? Have I not given everything to him? What’s wrong with me?I was startled when my phone vibrated. I looked at it immediately, as if my burden was lightened when I saw Wright's name.

  MELISSA QUIZONIt has been two days since I was discharged from the hospital. I am always in deep thoughts. It was as if my head was going to explode with so many questions swirling in my brain. When the doctor told me the news, I don't know how to react or feel about it. Will I be happy? Or will I be sad? How can I raise this child if I am this young? I'm Only Nineteen.But, I know, it’s my fault. I was so overwhelmed with the thought that Wright and I would be forever. Maybe, forever’s just a hallucination.Even Grandma was cold to me. Although we are together under the same roof it feels like she is far away. I know I was a disappointment to her. I am not proud of what I did.I hope she is not blaming herself for all my wrongdoings. I don't want her to think that she failed to raise me well. She should not blame herself. I am to blame because I was the one who was wrong, I was the one who loves Wright and believed that his

  MELISSA QUIZONI woke up. I was dreaming— I mean, I had a nightmare. I dreamed about him. Again. "Oh, goodness! What time is it? You have school today!"My son looked up at the top of the wall where our watch was located. "Hmm... Short hand's in six... longhand— Oh! Oh! Six fifteen.""Good. But we have to hurry, baby. Your first day in class is today." I pinched the bridge of his nose. I hugged him tightly. I felt him hug me too.I raised Reid well even without Wright’s support. I was able to do everything just for my son and to raise him without fail. I had to stop studying to have a safe pregnancy and to avoid the contempt of my batchmates. Word spread quickly that Wright and I were separated. It was also reported that he has also left the country with his new girlfriend Claire. Why is that?
