Chapter 36
I am engaged.
I couldn't wrap my head around that fact just yet when a few months ago, I was just planning to raise a cat alone and be single forever.
It's easier that way. And although, I am not someone who was raised inside a non affectionate household, I still believe marriage is not for me. I believe in love, yes, as I grew up witnessing my parents' unconditional love for each other. But I don't know... I just feel like I am not destined for that.
But Florian came. And he managed to bend all of those silent thoughts I used to have without lifting a finger.
I exhaled happily. The diamond ring wrapping around my finger never fails to precipitate serotonin cells from me whenever I would take a look at it. Or even when I would just accidentally had my gaze on it.
We headed back to Whale Bay after spending two hours of our time at the cemetery. Florian was planning to pick up Alicia later for a fancy dinner. He's been

He didn't mention a specific time. Wether he's leaving straight after we eat, or he's staying at least one more hour to kiss and hug with me, I don't know. I'm not sure. And I wanted ask but I didn't want to ruin my mood at the same time.It's awfully agitating as I sat there across the two who's obviously enjoying their food with voraciousness. My eyes kept glancing back and forth to the big round wall clock hanging behind them, as if I'm guarding the time or I could do something to pause it.Florian brought us to a fast-food restaurant, as what Alicia wishes. He filled almost all the space in our big six-seater table. He ordered two buckets of chicken and doubled every meal for each one of us. It's as if it's our last supper as I'm gawking at the amount of foods on our table.Alicia clapped jovially as she started chewing on the chicken that she's been craving for. I shook my head before glancing at Florian. He's eating but his eyes were di

I wiped them off quickly. The last thing I wanted for my neighbors to see is me walking home wailing as if I'm a high schooler who got bullied at school.I blinked back my tears and gritted my teeth to force them back inside my lid.When I got back home, I immediately shut my door lock and dashed inside my room. I slumped down my bed as my tears started wetting my pillow. The only consolation I could think of in this situation is that at least, he's not dead. At least, it's not as painful as when I lost my mother and my dad.Maybe I'm just going to pretend that I'm a wife who's waiting for her husband to come back home from an overseas trip. I dramatically sniveled on my pillow. Yes, maybe tricking my head into thinking that way would help.I sluggishly got up from the bed and walked towards the mirror. The little amount of eyeliner I applied on my lashes earlier already smudged.I can't behave this way! Who th

Florian ring my phone nearly half an hour later but I was too drain to even answer him. I slumped down directly on the bed as I scroll through the messages he left after two missed calls.Florian :Sorry about that. Are you still up?Florian :Good night, baby. I'll call you again tomorrow, sleep tight."Good night, baby. I'll call you again tomorrow, sleep tight!" I mimicked in irritation. I threw the phone to my side before pulling the blanket over my hide with slight harshness. I was rolling my eyes heavenward underneath the thin sheet.The sun was up and the neighbor's chicken was already clucking loudly when I woke up from my long slumber. I was in a hurry since I only got an hour left before my work. I didn't even bother to dress up nicely anymore. After putting on a plain black shirt and a tight denim jeans, I hurriedly left the house and ran to the café.Agatha was already in there and en
Forever & Always Chapter 40
I remembered fainting right after I set foot inside the café, but I didn’t expect to wake up on the hospital bed with Ryan sitting on the small bench across the white alcohol-scented room. His eyes sparkled in relief when he saw my conscious state. But before he could even walk towards me, the door creaked open and Regina got into me first. “Nina! You’re awake. Thank goodness! How are you feeling?” She cried out, gripping onto my cold palms tightly. I forced out a weak smile. “I feel a lot better now compared to when I woke up this morning. Thanks for bringing me here.” Her face scrunched up in a chastising manner. “Why did you even go to work today when you’re perfectly aware that you’re sick?! You’re lucky Mom wasn’t there or you’d hear an earful from her!” She said furiously. “Nina, more than anything, we prioritize our employees’ health first. A simple text or email would do, you know?” My lips curled up into a smile. I do not have
Forever & Always Epilogue
Forever doesn't exist. But with you, I'm willing to prove them wrong."After all this time?" Dumbledore asked, stupefied as Snape's memories and buried feelings slowly unfold right in front of his eyes."Always," he answered.Always. Constant. Never changing. Like my feelings for you."Angelus! Follow me to my office." Sister Anna had said, her eyes as stern as always, as if telling me that I'd be dead if I fail to set foot inside her office in ten seconds. And so, I gladly followed. But of course, right after I excused myself to my fellow orphan friends. Especially to Gaston whom I was the closest with.A man, and I presumed his wife, were seated side by side in front of Sister Anna's desk. The old man smiled warmly at me while the beautiful, elegant lady remained silent and expressionless. Her eyes mirrored the chief nun's strictness. I couldn't lock eyes with her for too long 'cause I felt as if she's judgin

And today, luck isn't on my side. I let out a frustrated sigh as I plop down wearily on the burning white sand of Whale Bay, one Saturday noon. How am I gonna tell my mother about this?All the hardships and sacrifices I made just so I can crawl my way out of college just went to waste. For someone who was born from a poor family, I had to enter multiple and unimaginable jobs just to support my education. I had so

My hand shook a little as I typed on the keypad of the ATM machine. I've been unemployed for almost a month now and I couldn't just carelessly spend the rest of my savings or I'd end up in the streets, starving.I looked at the receipt and sighed. Based on my calculations, my current balance can last for at least three more months. But am I really gonna wait til I run out of money before I work my butt off again?I let out another sigh, a bit harsher this time. I can't enter any medical facility anymore because I lost my license as a nurse. Maybe I can try to fit in the corporate world? I still managed to finish college and I have a decent degree. Maybe I can manage to find a job that'll suit me in that field.The loud crashing of waves on the shore filled my ears. The tranquil atmosphere of the beach calmed me down a bit as I watch a few of our townsmen, or maybe t
Forever & Always Chapter 2
I jolted awake from my dreamless slumber when I heard some noises outside. My eyes automatically searched for the wall clock hanging across my dim room, it reads three-thirty.Jack usually leaves during this hour to go fishing along with the neighbors. I walked towards my window, slightly opening the lower panel of the jalousie. Jack was outside together with two men who were both carrying a water pail. He's in his usual fishing attire, a dirty white towel was hanging around his neck. My forehead creased in confusion. He's still gonna go fishing? I thought he'll stop since he's got a better job in the inn now?He went back inside the house to turn off the lights. Darkness enveloped the place, their flashlights were the only source of brightness. The moon was covered with thick clouds to herald a foggy morning for Willowvale. My eyes followed them until they were out of sight. Once I couldn't hear their footsteps anymore, I groggily went back to bed and c
