Chapter 19
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

Remember Me, Aliyah Chapter 20
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

"I am not going to answer that yet," I said."Then, you must answer this question. Why are you at Sonia's house?" he asked again."I came there to apologize for what we have done." I pointed in the direction where the mansion is."We did? It was only your plan. I am willing to court you alone, but you still pushed me to her. I already told you that you are the one I like but you still made me court her. My conscience is eating me, Aliyah. I decided to tell her the truth once I came back from the training. I told her the truth, but here you are, still pushing me to her. What's wrong with you? Right now, you are acting like a jealous girlfriend. Later on, you will push me again as if I am just nothing to you. You are hurting me, I don't how can I understand you." He massaged his forehead.I heard Cristel cleared her throat. "Can we speak about your problem somewhere else? If you don't want to make a scene here," she said.I rolled my eyes at Henry th

"I'm so sorry about Sonia, I will talk to her. This must not be heard by her parents; it will be a big mess. Our families are not really friends with each other, so, it happened that the other family messed up the other family, it will make war." He caressed my face."I don't want that to happen, how can we prevent it?" I asked, this is getting serious."Don't worry, I will fix this. Do you want me to walk you through the Dela Fuentes' mansion?" he said.I shook my head. "No need, you should go home too. Take care of me." I kissed his cheek before leaving.I sighed, what I have done? This is not supposed to happen. This is not what I planned. What should I do? I am completely out of my agenda, but I can't stop myself from liking and loving Henry.This what grandma Sonia and Dr. Dizon were telling me before I came here. 'Don't fall in love with Henry' but I just did. I thought it will be easy, I thought I can just ignore Henry and focus on my agenda

Henry and I parted ways before we reached the market. I want to comfort him more, but he said he needs to go home before his parents arrive. If the only mobile phones existed in this time."Where did you go, Aliyah?" Cristel asked me when I came back."Like what I said, I just roamed around the market." I smiled."We thought you already went home. We've been waiting for you for almost half an hour," Alfredo said."But I am here, let's go." I walked first. Should I tell Cristel what I just discovered? Sure, why not? I trust her, I don't have to keep any secret from her. I should tell her...After Alfredo left, I pulled Cristel to her room. She creased her forehead, probably she knew already that I am going to tell her something controversial.I heard her sighed. "What is it, Aliyah? You look very scared." She is almost laughing."I have to tell you something." I lowered my voice, almost whispering. "Something about Henry's parents."
Remember Me, Aliyah Chapter 25
I looked at him. His face is straight, with no emotion at all. He came near me; I straighten my back."I heard you, Aliyah. Why are you always saying that? If you don't want me, say it in front of me, in my face. Do you want me to believe what Sonia saying against you?" He was so frustrated.I will feed him again with my lies, I don't want to, but I need to. This must stop, whatever is going on between us is very wrong."Believe to her, then. No one stopping you, in fact, that's what I wanted," I said.He looked confused now. "What? Aliyah, what are you talking about?"I looked him in his eyes. "I want you to hate me, I want you to be mad at me. I want to be bad in your eyes, I don't want you looking at me with love and kindness. I want you to look at me with hatred and disgust. Do you understand me, Henry? Hate me please, just hate me. Walk away from me from now on," I said then turned my back to him.I am the one who walked away from him,
Remember Me, Aliyah Chapter 26
On the next day, I planned to stay in the house and share a story more to Cristel about my life. She was very interested in it. I don't want to go outside; I can't face Henry now. I need him to realize that I am very serious about what I just told him. My problem now is, how I will return this ring he gave to me?"Through Alfredo. You give it to him, and he will return it to Henry," Cristel suggested."Right, but I don't want to go out. How can I give it to him?" I asked her."He will visit me later, after lunch."I nodded, good thing Cristel has Alfredo, or else I have no choice but to face Henry and return this ring. I am very sure that if we meet again, I will fall into his charm again and just break what I just told him last night. His kisses will drown me again and I will forget what I need to do."Aliyah, are you alright? Why your face is so red? Are you having a fever?" Cristel touched my forehead.I dodged. "No, I am alright."
Remember Me, Aliyah Chapter 27
I need to say goodbye to him, right? I don't want to act bitter. I am better. I am Aliyah Arandia, I am a noble nurse, a fighter of diseases, I can face him.I keep saying that to myself for the nth time this day. I am going crazy. After hearing the news about him going on a military mission, I am kind of guilty of what I did to him. But after hearing news about him again, that he and Sonia are now in a romantic relationship, I am pissed! Don't get me wrong, I really want that to happen. But it looks like, he made Sonia a rebound. He was hurt yesterday because of me, yet now, he is dating a new girl that fast. I sighed, okay, whatever."Papa is okay now, Aliyah. No more threats, thank you so much," Cristel whispered."I am so sorry if you have to experience that. I promised that it will never happen again." We make a pinky promise."What are you doing?" Alfredo looked at us with a confused face."Making a pink promise." Cristel showed him our pinky
