Oh, baby, I know sometimes it's gonna rain. But baby, can we make up now? 'Cause I can't sleep through the pain. – Ne-Yo ••• “Annaliese, stop.” Santiago tried to keep up with her anger-driven fast pace. He was hungry and didn’t want to waste his energy any longer. He needed to stop her from running away right at that moment. “Hey, stop right now, would you?” “No, I won’t!” Annaliese refused to even slow down. “You’re going to feed me again with your motivational speech and I don’t want to hear any of it now. I’m so fed up… Okay?” She stopped walking for a second and showed her wet cheeks. Before she could put a wider distance between them, Santiago grabbed her by the hand. “So, don’t run away from your problem!” he exclaimed. Annaliese burst into tears and sobbed loudly; her face was entirely covered with her palms. She didn’t move an inch, making her look like a crying statue. Santiago ran his fingers through his hair. He hadn’t expected to encounter this kind of situation. A c

Doesn't take a Rocket scientist to know what's really going on. – Sam MacPherson ••• [ Last Year | Boston ] William's mind had not been clear since leaving Ireland, even until he arrived in his hometown. He was overcome with guilt. Mainly because his mother was so angry and threw the blame at him. He didn't go to his house first to at least put things away but headed straight to the hospital. From the gap between the door of a VIP room, a young woman was seen lying helpless. Hospital equipment was installed all over the body of Rose, his childhood friend. William couldn’t bring himself to enter the room right away. Instead, he was standing out there for a while before finally getting a hold of himself. As soon as he felt calm enough, he stepped inside. In an instant, a look full of dismay welcomed him in silence. While Rose’s parents looked away, William’s mom approached him and squeezed his hand strongly. Needless to say, they were all disappointed in him. “Apologize right away
Matchmaking Festival 20 Don't Wake Me Up
So, don't wake me up in the middle of the night 'cause I finally found you. I feel your love every time I close my eyes 'causе I finally found you. – Jonas Blue and Why Don't We ••• [ Present Time | Colombia ] “What happened next? Why aren’t you continuing?” asked Annaliese when William took a too-long pause. The look on his face concerned her. William lowered his head a little before lifting it again. “We, uh… we had a little fight. But fortunately, we could resolve it. We talked it out and she understood that I loved her as a sister only,” he answered. “Little did I know, it affected her deeply. She looked like she accepted the fact about my feelings, but deep down she was disappointed. And it kept on going like that until things got worse and her health was declining each day,” he said, his fist covering his mouth. Annaliese wasn’t ready to hear the rest of the story. She didn’t like a sad-ending movie, even worse if it was a real-life event. Instead, she counteracted her thou
Matchmaking Festival 21 Because You Loved Me
You've been my inspiration. Through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you. – Celine Dion •• “Is this for real? You get to see this every day?” Annaliese couldn’t stop looking at the beautiful scenery that pampered her eyes from the room balcony, on the seventh floor. With her project finished, she left her team to have an exclusive vacation with William in the US. It was a last-minute decision that was made possible for the sake of their love. Fortunately, there was no problem with entering the country. As a frequent traveler, Annaliese obtained a tourist visa easily. “My followers already recommended some places in the US as my next destination. I didn’t expect to actually visit this country soon. You know, I’ve got quite a lot of different projects from Eudaimonia around Asia and Europe. But this is my dream country. So thank you for taking me here,” she continued. Standing next to her, William replied, “I thank you for coming with me.” Annalie
Matchmaking Festival 22 Somebody Like You
When you put your arms around me, you let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do. – Keith Urban ••• Still a little jet-lagged, Annaliese woke up too early in the new timezone. She sat on the edge of the bed and her eyes were fixed on William who was sleeping on the couch. He initially wanted to sleep outside the bedroom but of course, she forbade him. The couch in the living room was smaller and it could give him a backache. After all, William’s room was the biggest among the three others, so the couch could fit there. Seeing the blanket had slid down, leaving his shoulder uncovered, she approached him to fix it. Her hand was stretched out to reach his head, but she restrained herself from the thought of waking him up. Then she left the bedroom, took her mobile, and headed toward the kitchen instead. Annaliese looked for a drink as her throat felt a little dry. She grabbed a cup and filled it up with the tap water, then satisfied herself with one and a half cups of it. A
Matchmaking Festival 23 Rewrite The Stars
It's up to you, and it's up to me. No one could say what we get to be. So why don't we rewrite the stars? – Zac Effron & Zendaya ••• What in the world was going on? That was the only thing that kept ringing in Annaliese’s ears for the past three hours. She spontaneously went to the US after a short trip to Colombia, bringing no proper clothing for such an important occasion as this. She had to look presentable in front of her future in-laws. Even though William kept saying ‘it’s fine’, Annaliese was still in a panic mode. She believed she had to give the first good impression to them, especially his mom. After hearing all the stories about this cold woman, she didn’t want to get off on the wrong foot. She spent about two full hours looking for the right dress for dinner that night. After returning to the apartment, she couldn't even rest. Based on the information William told her about what his mother was like and her interests, she anticipated anything she might be questioned abo
Matchmaking Festival 24 Dusk Till Dawn
Baby, I am right here. I'll hold you when things go wrong. I'll be with you from dusk till dawn.– Zayn ft. Sia•••William was standing right outside the women's restroom. He thought she would run outside and left the building. His girlfriend might need some time to stop her tears and he was patiently waiting.About ten minutes later, Annaliese came out clean with no more traces of tears on her face. She fixed her makeup and appeared with a smile."Are you okay, babe?" asked William, making sure of her feelings.Annaliese nodded. "I am now. Thank you for waiting, babe," she said. "Now let's go back to the table. We can't leave your parents just like that."William frowned. He didn't understand why she would do that after being hurt by his mom. "No, we don't have to. We can just leave now. I don't want her to insult you again," he remarked in resentment. However, a gentle touch of her hand soothed him."I'm okay. Trust me," Annaliese convinced him. "If I left, I would only make things
Matchmaking Festival 25 Because of You
You never thought of anyone else. You just saw your pain. You never saw me. – Kelly Clarkson ••• "I'm nervous, babe." Annaliese blew her bangs as she was standing in front of the door. In her hands was a closed container containing Guo Tiao, stir-fried flat rice noodles they had cooked together earlier. William patted her shoulder. "Hey, relax. We're in this together," he convinced her. After receiving a confirmation nod from her, he knocked on the door. In just a minute, the door was opened. An old lady around her seventies appeared with a bright smile. "William!" greeted the lady in excitement. She opened her arms and pulled William into her embrace. "Oh, I've missed you, you know." As William pulled away, he said, "Me too, Nan. Missed you too." "And who's this pretty young lady?" Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Annaliese. William gave a light push behind Annaliese's back and declared, "This is my girlfriend, Nan." "Really?" Annaliese grinned widely so her eyes formed
