"Let’s go home, Ai.." Daisy grabbed my arm slowly. I could feel her hands were shaking. I'm also shaking. If it’s because of nervousness or anger, I’m not sure.

It's been six years since I last saw him. I was still in College, a young adult trying to make my way into adulthood. But now, a lot has changed. I'm no longer the naive Aira I was before. I have already learned a lot in life. I also went through a lot. That particular event involving him made a huge impact on me. It changed my life forever.

Hearing that he's back again made me anxious. And I thought it would take some time before our paths would cross again. Because who would have thought, right? We were just talking about him earlier. But here we are. Face to face. Same people, different levels of maturity. Same people, just a little older. It's been years since he made his way into my life and then left.

It's been years, but how come I can still feel the fucking pain?

I stared at his face... the face that has been my

  • One Week Stand   Chapter 137

    The whole ride, I didn’t say a word. I just quietly cried in the back seat. Even Dominic and Daisy didn’t pressure me to explain what had happened. They just let me pour everything out, and I’m so grateful for them. If they hadn’t come, maybe I’d still be there. Maybe I’d still be facing him right now. Maybe I would’ve looked even more like a fool. It was so hard for me to process everything I had just seen. And then I thought back on how these past days, I already felt like something was off. I could sense something different, but I tried to brush it off. I forced myself to ignore the things I was noticing. But God, how could I have been so blind? I still couldn’t stop crying. He made me believe he truly loved me. The kids love him. But how can I continue what we’ve started if it’s already tainted with betrayal? I’m not the type to just tolerate something like that. But what about my kids? What about me? What about us? So many thoughts were racing in my mind. After this, then what

    I kept walking until I made it back to the car. I clutched tightly onto the paper bag I was carrying - the one with his lunch inside. I was initially lost for words, lost for any reaction. The moment I saw it, it was like my brain just stopped functioning. It was only when my phone beeped that I realized this was reality, that I wasn’t dreaming or hallucinating. Everything I saw was real. I tried to reach for my phone inside my bag. That’s when I realized my hands were shaking as I fumbled to get it. 'Are you coming?' It was a text from Zandrey. The moment I saw his name, my tears finally fell, the ones I’d been holding back since earlier. That’s when I felt the pain resurface. I started crying loudly, not caring if people outside might hear me. My chest felt so heavy. I couldn’t cry earlier, but now it was like my tears wouldn’t stop falling. The image was still vivid in my head. He was kissing another girl. And if I wasn’t mistaken, it was the same girl I met months ago, the

    "Good morning," Zandrey greeted as he kissed my bare shoulders."Good morning," I greeted back. It’s been quite a while since I had this smile on my face upon waking up.He quickly got up from bed while I remained lying down for a moment. Then he went to the bathroom.I just stared at the ceiling as I willed myself to finally get up. We have a long day ahead, so I really needed to move. Anytime now, the kids might wake up.Before I could get up, I already heard a knock on the door. I quickly stood up and put on the clothes I had worn last night. I almost lost my balance because of the rush.I heard Zandrey laugh. When I turned to look, he was leaning against the bathroom door while brushing his teeth.I rolled my eyes at him. "It’s your fault," I grumbled. He just chuckled again.After getting dressed, I finally went to the door. I even checked the bed to see if there was anything scattered around. Luckily, there wasn’t, so I freely opened the door.Upon opening it, I saw a little boy

    "Nooooo," Andrei cried. He was clinging to Zandrey's arm and it seemed like he didn’t want to let go. His tears were falling one after another, and my chest tightened at the sight."Drei, Dad has to go," I said softly, gently trying to take him from Zandrey, but his grip was really tight."Should I just not go?" Zandrey murmured. It looked like he didn’t want to leave either because of Andrei’s cries."No, you should go. I’ll take care of Andrei," I said. I could see the worry on his face, but he really had to leave. He’s needed there."No, Daddy. Don’t leave, Daddy," Andrei cried again.I wanted to cry too. I didn’t want to see him like this. I could feel his fear of his dad leaving, even though I’d already told him he’d be back. I had to keep reassuring him that his dad was just leaving for work and would return soon. But he just kept crying."Dad will be back, Drei. Don’t cry, baby. He just has to work," I explained again."I wanna go with Daddy!"I was close to giving in. When I l

    The kids were already asleep when I decided to step out of our room. We were all in one room - me, Zandrey, and the kids. They were fast asleep, while I couldn’t sleep at all. There were too many things running through my mind, and I needed to do something to quiet the noise in my head.There weren’t many people at the beach anymore when I got outside. It was already past midnight, so most of the guests were probably already asleep.I was wearing a long nightdress with a shawl over it to keep from getting too cold. The fabric was thin, so the chill still crept in, but I didn’t really care. I just wanted some time to myself - to think and reflect.I sat on the shore a few meters away from the water. I made sure I wasn’t too close, so I wouldn’t get wet. And I just stared into the darkness ahead of me.I feel like something’s wrong. I don’t know exactly what, but I can sense that something isn’t right. And it has to do with me and Zandrey. I know he’s been busy these past few days, espe

    I don’t know if what I felt was right, but I really felt like something inside me was crushed. What he said was valid. I don’t think I have the right to be mad. But still… I couldn’t help but feel a little hurt.After that night, I stopped waiting up for him to come home. I didn’t try cooking again either. I didn’t want to end up disappointed. I know he’s busy with work and all, so I chose not to tell him anything. I didn’t want it to start an argument. I know being honest about our feelings is important, but I just really struggle with that. Maybe if it happens again, I’ll bring it up then.We also haven’t had much time to talk these past few days. We’re both busy with work. Daisy and I are getting closer to finalizing our partnership plans. We’ve already found a building that can be turned into our office. We also have pitch presentations for the designs. There’s so much going on that I haven’t even had time to dwell on my frustration with Zandrey.As for the wedding, we still haven
