Like what we really want to do, Alaric and I are now looking at the sandbar from a far. People there are enjoying their little vacation, perhaps some of these are students who just finished their term exam. We are both leaning on his car while we are on the side way. Silence envelopes us for long minutes now, no one is talking. We just enjoyed our company without necessary words to speak. I know that there are lots of question running through his head, even I.Questions like, why? Where did we go wrong? Did I trust him too much? Was I that gullible? And lastly, why is he treating Aubrey unlikely? But the latter seems cool seeing us yesterday—like the first day I saw her. I do not know if was I too stupid not to notice or there is really something going on between Damian and I.A loud sigh escape from my lips before tilting my head. “Aren’t you hungry?” I asked to break the silence, remembering that we never had our lunch still. Well, I was about to. But never thought I would be seeing
Days and weeks passed by so fast. Damian and I maintained the distance, we did not talk like the usual. We just talk about the improvements of the baby, nothing more personal. I have been hiding crying under the sheets for weeks now as well but I woke up feeling a lot better than the previous day. I kept reminding myself to be strong for this little me inside me and that I should continue this damn of a hell-hole.Today, it’s Friday. Leigh and Alaric would be coming here after class so I prepared and ordered foods for us. Damian already said himself that I can definitely treat this house as my own, so inviting my friends would not be a big deal. In fact, he even went to pay Aubrey a visit on their rented unit last day so I think we are both fair towards each other. I cup my belly when my stomach growl. I check for the time and sees it’s almost twelve in the afternoon already so I grab some few slices from the steak I ordered from Denvi’s place. I go on my monthly check up as well and
Did not know why I am back on my hometown alone after spending a day with my friends. Earlier, I was laughing with them to cast all my worries away not until I am finally left alone inside that house. I have never been so empty my life, maybe I was devastated after Elric broke up with me but what Damian did is more painful. I was not expecting a Prince Charmng anymore, contented on how he is to me, but guess I am failed by my own thoughts again. I spent weeks on hiding my pain but this time, I could not take it anymore. Never thought that after hours of good times and laughter, will lead me to this kind of misery. I guess we really should not be too happy or else we’ll be sad longer.I am currently in the same place I was before but this time, I am here because not because I fought with someone but because I failed to love one more time.Earlier, after my friends left, I notice that Damian weren’t at home—even his car. I guess he is out again to wherever he is going. I bent my knees f
Maybe they are right when it rains on your parade, rainbow will soon to occur after a long journey of heavy rains. I have been wishing for a Prince Charming on a right time with a Cinderella-like love story to pacify my standards. But never thought that I would be no like Cinderella because I was born to create my own story and find my Prince Charming on my own silly way.“Gosh, I don’t feel my make-up today.” I mumbled while watching myself in front of the mirror.Leigh, who is also fixing herself, growled. “Shut up, preggy, you look good already.”I immediately cup my belly after Leigh said that. My baby is six months now, three way to go before we’ll finally see him. And yes, it’s a boy. Damian was so happy after we had our gender reveal celebration last month. I could not help but to chuckle on what my love story looks like. Did not know that being in a total heartbreak can lead a person to another roller-coaster love story that I thought, will fail as well like the usual. Who wou
A white folder is placed on top of the table right after he answered a call. The man in front of me who stands six feet tall, wearing a black suit with his two block haircut with bangs, and an eyeglass that makes him look cooler; sat down on his swivel chair before he heaves a deep sigh. I look at his face thoroughly with my close-to-closing eyes, judging if his intent to me is really real and if he wasn’t really kidding around. Mister Dawson looks at me before he raises his left brow when he notices that I’ve been staring at him for a long time now.“Problem?”I blink my eyes as I shake my head. “N-none,” I murmured before opening the folder to skim the documents inside it. While going through the papers, my eyes bulge a little before I slowly raise the certain paper I found. He then follows the paper with his gaze before he drops his attention back at me and move the brows upwards as if he is asking me what the problem is.&
“Perhaps, the greatest risk any of us will ever take is to be seen as who we really are.” I stated dreamily while holding a medium wand that my father bought for me thirteen years ago. My left foot took a step forward as I smile heartily with both of my hands clasp altogether as I look up in the sky, remembering my favourite fairy tale, Cinderella.My best friend, Everleigh, sighed as she peel off the mask of a tangerine. “You are twenty-one year old with boyfriend who still believes such fairy tales.” She made a tsk sound before taking two slices of tangerine inside her mouth. “Come on girl, we are living in 21st century where people booze up in bars and clubs, butt-party all night, make love and travel from time to time! You do not expect someone to live inside a story book and wait for a Cinderella-like story that your boyfriend could not even
Leigh and I both look at each other with so much confusion visible on our faces. I lick my lower lips before moving a little to cast out the uncomfortable chain that is slowly building inside me before facing Mica once again."W-we just got inside the university a minute ago. Why?" I asked, trying to hide my stutter, but it turned out against my will. I stuttered, for I do not know why."What about Elric and Mhaureen?" My best friend intervened this time with a crease visible on her face. I was about to touch her shoulder to calm her down, but Mica spoke for the second time around."I don't know if I am in the place to say this, but I heard from the Nursing department that they are both dating for a year now."***The wind passes my place as I carry my handbag on my left shoulder while standing on the field, trying to scan for Elric in the middle o
While I am walking on the hallway inside our building, I can't help but to fall a tear from my own eyes, still inside my head on how Elric shakes his head earlier, telling me that he didn't love me a little. That alone makes me want to shout but I contain myself, knowing that I am in the middle of the crowd— students walking to and fro, while I am here, tearing up. I bring my left hand up and bit the side of it, wanting to stop myself from crying hard. My nose is a bit sore now and my muscles are in tension. I could not understand the pain I am currently feeling but one thing is only clear to me...I am hurt.Deeply hurt. I did not expect heartbreak can be this painful. You see, Elric is always been my first love. Who wouldn’t? I mean, he was actually super nice to me. Treat me as if I am that precious, he often calls me sweet names way back when we were just friends. He was always the one who will approach me and ask me out. Lend me his hand alway
