Chapter 13
In the whole day, I just stayed in Dela Fuentes' house, helping them do some errands. I spent most of my time thinking about how I could help Henry fall in love with Sonia without actually falling in love with me. I am not dumb nor blind to not notice how Henry stated his feelings for me. He even kissed me!
It so impossible that he already has romantic feelings for me. We barely know each other, and we can't be together. I will leave this place soon; I miss my family already. I can't be attached to this place; I do not belong here. This is all just temporary.
"What happened to your stuff?" Cristel asked me when we finished cleaning her room.
"We already met Sonia and she agreed on Henry's proposal," I answered.
She gasped. "What? They are getting married?!" she exclaimed.
"What? No, silly! Henry will court Sonia, first. I am looking forward to their marriage, though." I smiled.
Cristel looked at me with curious eyes. "Why are you pushing tho

"So, it is a deal then," he said then smirked.I have no choice, looks like Sonia needs to wait. She might get angry knowing that a moment after I pushed Henry to her, here I am letting this man court me. His eyes are twinkling at what I just said.Cristel made a fake cough to get our attention. I immediately step away from Henry and faced Cristel with a big teasing smile on her face."I think we should go," I said to her then looked at Henry. "Thank you, yes, it is a deal. See you." I pulled Cristel's hand then walked away.When we finally halfway through Dela Fuente's mansion, Cristel laughed and stop for a while."What's with you two? I thought Henry is courting Sonia then here you are, permitting him to court you too? What is happening?" she said then laughed, hysterically.I sighed. "I have no choice but to do that. If I ask him for a favor, he will ask for something in return that can benefit him too. I know that this is a bad idea, I

"What are you doing here, Lieutenant?" I asked him. He was wearing his military uniform and holding a stem of white rose. I am pretending that I don't see that beautiful flower."Visiting you. You just let me court you yesterday and now I think you forget it already," he said with a playful smile.I rolled my eyes. "What do you want? Remember, you are still courting Sonia. You can only court me when we are alone or in an isolated place."He nodded then handed me the flower. I raised a brow, how could he?"That's why I am asking you if can give it to Sonia for me instead. She went out of town, and I am afraid that I can still have a chance to say goodbye to her. Can you do it?" Now, he is smirking.I raised a brow. "Are you trying to make me jealous?""Why? Are you jealous already?" His smile annoys me.I looked at the white rose and got it into his hands. "You are assuming too much. I am giving it to her, you don't have to worry. Wher

After that night, I feel a little loneliness in my heart. Suddenly, I felt something will be missing from me once I left this place. I have no intention of staying here, but why am I feel so wrong when thinking about leaving Henry here?"Why you are here again?" I asked him.He was wearing a plain blue shirt and loose pants, very old-fashioned. I rolled my eyes, why this fashion is even a thing?!"You forgot already? I promise to you that I will introduce you to my parents this day, remember?" he answered."Oh, really? I am just kidding last night. I didn't know you will take it seriously." I laughed, but it was fake. Shoot! I am not even ready! What will I do when I already facing them?"You should wear something nice," Cristel said then handed me his blue knee-length dress."Thank you." I wore the dress then put on a little make-up. Why am I even nervous? The hell!I asked Henry to wait for me outside their house. I don't want anyon

After that day, I can literally say that there is really something with Henry's parents. They're hiding something that I can easily that something is very illegal. I can't tell it to Cristel, I will spill the beans if I prove that my instinct is right."It looks like you and Henry are starting to fall," Cristel whispered to me while we are eating our dinner."What are you saying?"I must admit that I am starting to like Henry, what's the point of denying it to myself? Who am I fooling here?I sighed; I just can't prevent myself from liking him. Compared to the men in my time, Henry is a breath of fresh air. Although he kept on bugging me every single time, I don't feel any irritation towards him, I just faking my reactions. He is very different, he is so gentle and romantic, I just love the way he clings to me every time. He is such a baby. I like it, I like him. I smiled at my thoughts."Why are you smiling?" Cristel whispered to me again.

"This place really looks amazing. I am glad you choose this as 'our place'," I said to Henry while looking at the night sky."Our place sounds so romantic. I like it," he said then kissed the back of my hand.I kept on breathing deeply because my heart is pounding really fast. The place where we are at the moment is dark and only the moon and the stars giving us a little light. But still, I can see how handsome he is.I cleared my throat. "It's getting colder, I think we should go. And I need to go home by now. Cristel's parents might be worried this time."I think it is almost nine in the evening. In my time, it would be too early to come home. But this is 50's, it is very different in a good way.We found Cristel and Alfredo sitting at that one bench in the middle of the park. When they saw us, they immediately stood up. Cristel greeted me with a guilty smile. I creased my forehead, guilty for what?"It's time to go," I said the looked at

A month is not really a long time, before I knew it, Henry and the other soldiers are now free to go home. Cristel wants to fetch Alfredo, the soldier's parents agreed to it. While Sonia will go to get Henry. I am not really mad at that idea. It was okay, I guess..."So, this the training camp, it was just a few meters away," I said while waiting outside the camp."Yes, but this different. The other one where they got their years of training is in the other province. It far away from here, no one in the town can visit them," she explained. I nodded.One by one, the soldiers come out slowly. I saw Sonia on the other side holding a basket and I don't know what's in it. Maybe some food she made for Henry.Cristel ran fast when she saw Alfredo together with Henry. And when our eyes met, he smiled so widely. He all thought that I am the one who's going to fetch him. I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from laughing when he saw Sonia beside him with a wide smi

I stared at the ring on my ring finger while laying down on my bed. I can't help but smile as I remember our kiss last night. It was so magical and very romantic; I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from shouting."He gave you a ring? A diamond ring?! Are you even in a relationship? Or you are getting married?!" Cristel was hysterical.I rolled my eyes. "This is just a gift."This time, she rolled her eyes at me. "Who's the man who will give a ring to a lady as just a simple gift? Obviously, the handsome soldier wants to marry you. Be prepared, Aliyah." She laughed.I sighed and sat on the bed. "I can't marry him. We can't be together." Suddenly, I came back to reality.The playful smile on her face disappeared. "Why? Have you married already? Or you have any commitment to another man?"I shook my head. "No, it's not like that. I really like Henry; I want to be with him. If the circumstances were just normal, I could marry him right now. Bu

I feel uneasy the whole day, there's a part of me wanting to go to Henry and say my apologies, but the other part saying that it is alright at least I am telling the truth. I don't know in what way I will be back on my time again; I don't know when, and how. I feel like every day I need to say goodbye in case I will be gone suddenly. In my state right now, it is really hard for me to go. I don't want to leave Henry."What was just happened? We are doomed!" Cristel is panicking until now."I am going to fix it, don't worry. I just need to apologize to Sonia, and everything will be alright again." I nodded to her."I wish it will be that easy. You just humiliate Sonia in front of many people and now the whole town is thinking you are a whore, a slut, a flirt, a relationship-wrecker, and so on! We are in big trouble, Aliyah. I already told you that is not a good idea. Papa will be so mad at us." She was almost crying."I'm sorry, I will fix it, I promise." I
