Chapter 44 My hands went cold as if I am shivering due of the aircon that was turned on. But I know more than that. I am nervous. And I don’t know from where it came from and why. My mind could sense something was off if I really go inside my boss’ office. I don’t want to give myself false hope but I hope I was wrong because I really don’t want to talk about it. As I turned the knob and pushed the door lightly, I saw Mr. Saavedra sitting on his usual spot and just like the some other days, he was busy reading some papers. I was about to back down but before I could even closed the door, he already caught me peeking inside and from that moment, I know that there’s no turning back. It’s too late now because he already caught me in the act. “You’re here,” he uttered in a low voice but enough to sent shivers on my body as if we were just close. “Come here,” he added and I did what he said. My steps were average and I don’t know why am I nervous right now. My heart pounded louder than
It was already past 6:30 in the evening and I was not yet in my best friend’s condo unit. After I got off from work, I decided to have some alone time with myself. I decided to go here at the bay walk, where I could feel the cold breeze of the young night hitting my body making a few strands of my hair go up to my face.The crisp air by the water has a captivating and energizing quality that creates a visual mosaic that conveys the moment's essence. The crisp, cold air tickles my skin as I sit at the park's cement bars to keep myself from falling into the water.The faint aroma of salt penetrates the sea breeze and flows into the crisp air, adding to the whole experience. The wind blows through my hair, a symphony of rustling whispers, and it feels both energizing and calming, like nature's embrace.The sound of the wide body of water resonates throughout my body as the breeze envelops me, giving me a sense of the infinite. Waves breaking in the background blend with the wind to creat
LOVE has no boundaries. Love has no age limit. Age doesn’t matter, a famous quotation says. And it doesn’t matter how long have you’ve been together as long as you two love each other. They said that if you truly love someone, you are willing to do anything for him/her to make that person happy. You’ll court that person and do nice things to prove yourself. That is why I love the perseverance Felix showed me when he is still courting me and until now that he give me his promise. His perseverance made both of us here where we are now.“Dismissed.” The professor announced so I quickly gathered my things.“I’ll go now, Bella. I’ll still need to buy cake,” I quickly turned my head at the girl beside me while arranging my things inside my bag after our Professor dismissed us.My best friend just pouted her lips and she looks cute when she do that.“You’re so in love. Three years r
THE scene was like knives being stabbed in my chest multiple times. It killed me. Big time. I felt my tears slowly falling down my cheeks nonstop at what I am watching right now. They made all the way to the long couch without breaking the kiss. He laid the unfamiliar girl on the couch as his hands roamed all over the girl’s body while the girl’s hand was clinging unto his nape. I wanted to get out where I was hiding and slap their faces but it feels like my feet were being glued on the floor. I couldn’t move. I was too shocked to even react at the moment. “Anniversary, huh?” I heard the girl speak. I guess she saw the decorations I made on the wall. “Don’t mind it. Let’s just continue,” my boyfriend said. Why? Why did you do this, Felix? I thought… I couldn’t accept it. It broke my heart into a million pieces when I heard the girl call my boyfriends name in a soft moan. It hurts like hell. “Where is your girlfriend?” the slut asked like she d
WE were done eating our breakfast and I just came out from the shower. Bella bought me clothes so I could wear something nice. She insisted and didn’t let me stay with my pajamas on. She was really hospitable when it comes to her visitors.“I will just stay inside here anyway, so why bother buying me clothes?”She rolled her eyes. “You need to take a bath, duh?” And in the end, she really won.When I came out of my room, I saw her sitting in the living room, facing her laptop. Every graduating student is indeed busy. I was busy too but I’m almost done with all of my requirements so I’m not in the rush hour anymore. Just a few more weeks and I’ll finally get that diploma.“Done?” she asked when she noticed my presence.I nodded and turned my phone on and I was right with Felix who really flooded my inbox but I didn’t bother to open it. How dare he.“Felix message
BELLA came back to the condo with my things. I don’t really have that so many clothes to the point that they won’t fit in one closet. It wasn’t that really hassle for her since she have her own car her parents gave her a gift on her last birthday.I help her carry the bags with my things. “What did you tell him by the way?” I curiously asked. Felix won’t believe such a thing especially seeing my best friend packing up my things. He’s not stupid.She shrugged. “He’s not there,” she replied.I raised a brow to her reply. “What do you mean he’s not there?” I grab the last bag and she’s the one who closes the door of the car.“I knock multiple times but no one opened the door, guess he’s not there,” she explained as I followed her walking back to her room.“Really? Then how did you get these?” I referred to the things that we’re
DO you know the saying expect the unexpected? I also thought that we could be happy until we reach our dreams together. Just a few more weeks and we’ll finally get the diploma that we both wanted. After that, he promised to travel around the world with me. He said a lot of promises to me and there I am, happy and hoping that he could fulfill his promises to me. I was the happiest when he said that he will marry me after we graduate. But all of the hopes vanish in the air just like a bubble. I expect him to fulfill all of the promises he said. I guess too much expectation will just really hurt you in the end. It will hurt you big time. “Listen to me, Astia, I am telling the truth. There was no sign of you in the apartment. Just those decors for our anniversary. I know you decorated them when you go home at lunchtime like the other special days,” he explained but I just shake my head slowly. The confusion in his eyes was very evident as I continue to s
THREE days had passed since that encounter with Felix happened. Three days had passed since Felix and I broke up. Since that encounter with him happened, I told myself that I will be back with my old self again but I didn’t know that it will be that hard for me. Come to think of it, we were together for years, building our dreams together and with one mistake he made, our relationship collapsed. With one mistake he made… we broke up. With one mistake… we shattered into pieces.For years that we were together, we were used to each other’s company. Sleep in the same apartment, celebrated special days together, build dreams together, and now that we broke up, how can I get back to my old self?In that three days, I was trying to find my old self. I asked myself what are the things I do before I met him so I could do those things again now that he is now out of my life. It was hard. It was just three days since we broke up but I could say that it
