"Hony, don't you want to go home yet?" I turned to Hannah when she asked me while we were eating at a Japanese restaurant.
"Mmm, why? Do you want to go home now?" I asked, but he shook her head.
"No. I mean, you? Don't you want to go home yet?" I frowned at her question.
"Where? To you? Will you let me in?" I asked, but it seemed like I was asking the wrong question because Hannah also thought wrong of what I said.
"W-wait, no!" I said laughing, as I shielded myself from her hit.
"Such a pervert!" I chuckled.
"I mean, at your house, Hon. Will you let me into your house? N-not yours." I scratched my head to correct what I said as my voice went lower, almost whispering.
"Whatever!"
"Pft, but no, I'm not going home," I answered, the reason for her to look and frown at me.
"What? And why? Did you forget that Cia is all alone in your house?" She sneered.
"I just don't want to," I replied.
"No, go home. Cia is alone."
"But, Hon.. just this night." I insisted.
"No. And when I say no. It means no. Think about your wife's condition." It was so hard to please her, that's why I put my fork and spoon down. Letting my body rest on the couch.
"I don't want her. I don't want to be with her and she'll never be my wife."
"Stop it. You're married, unwanted, or wanted, she's still your wife. Be responsible!"
"I still don't like her. Why do you even keep forcing me to be that woman?"
"Why are you also refusing, then?! She's your wife-"
"On paper," I added.
"She's just my wife in a contract paper, but she will never own me. Never. I don't care if she gets hurt. She deserves it anyway. She will suffer as long as I see her alive. She broke us before, so it will be a pleasure for me if she suffers too. "
"Tyron, watch your words!"
"What? Am I not right?"
"No, probably not."
"Yes, I am. You're just so kind, that's why you feel sorry for that woman." I spoke.
"Fine! Yes, I'm mad at her too. But Hon, listen. You don't have to treat her like that. I'm yours and you're mine again. So please, forget about it. Why don't you just forgive her? " I just gasped.
"Hon, remember, she's still a woman, like me. What if I'm in her position, will you still hurt her?" She asked again. I stared at him for a moment, trying to understand what she was saying. I know she's right and has a point, but I can't help it. I'm angry and I can't forgive her just like that.
— Memory from the past —
I smiled looking at the ring I had just bought. I can't wait to hear her say yes. I know that even if I haven't asked her yet, I know that her answer will be a yes right away, but I still can't stop my heart from rumbling with joy. It's been five years since I got her sweet yes, but this time. I need to hear her answer again but not as my girlfriend but as to be my future wife. I now plan to propose to her and she has no idea about my plan.
It's a surprise, though.
Even the place where I will take her later is already set, only her answer yes is just missing.
"Tyron? Son, come here." My attention turned to Dad when I heard him call out my name. I immediately approached him when I saw how beautiful the smile was drawn on his face. Dad knows about my plan. He knows I'm going to propose to Hannah and today is that day. I'm happy because he supports me with everything.
"Yes, dad?"
"Get dressed, we're going somewhere." Still smiling when it commands me.
"Where will we go, Dad? "I asked in surprise. But he just smiles at me. My two eyebrows meet slightly. If he was planning to suggest a better place where I should propose to Hannah. Not anymore. I already found one. I stopped myself from smiling in front of Dad. His smile is suspicious, that's why I know Dad is planning to do something.
What's with that smile, dad?
"You'll see."
"All right, get dressed quickly." In a hurry, I was confused by what Dad was doing. But I also quickly get dressed up, because I can sense that I would be happy with whatever he was planning.
After I got dressed, we left immediately at our house. It's just weird because, from our whole trip, Dad was just smiling.
Seriously. What's going on? What's wrong with my dad?
Is there something I do not know about? I’m used to Dad always smiling. But this one's weird. I can’t read what he was thinking. I admit that I feel excited because I feel it has something to do with my proposal to Hannah later. But there's a side to me being nervous.
When I felt that our car had stopped, I immediately darted my eyes at the building where we had stopped.
"GREAT HILVANO'S RESTAURANT?" I read the gold and black colored sign on the front of the building.
"What are we going to do here, Dad?" I confusedly asked.
Don't tell me this is the setting he chose where he wanted me to propose to Hannah? No way. Cheap.
"Just follow me, Tyron," Dad said, so I just obeyed as he said.
*Ting!*
I glanced at my phone for a moment and unconsciously smiled when Hannah's message popped up on my phone...
"Hey, hon. Where are you?" That question made me smile for a bit, I immediately typed on my phone to reply.
"Dad and I just went somewhere. I'll see you later." I'll reply. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling anymore because I was already imagining how happy she would be with my proposal.
"Alright, I will wait for you. I love you!" She replied, making me smile. I was just about to type 'I love you too' when Dad immediately grabbed it from my hand.
"Cellphones are not allowed, Tyron," Dad said. I was even surprised because his reaction was already serious. I have never seen his bright smile before. I didn't do what just happened, but I just let it go.
I'm sure Hannah will understand that I didn't reply right away.
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Collins." The old man who I think is in his mid 40's greeted my Dad with a smile.
Who are they? Will they be my accomplices in my proposal?
"Is he your son?" He asked Dad while looking at me, I saw daddy nod.
"Yes." He answered it while smiling.
"Come, take a seat." The woman looks like the man's wife. I looked at the woman with them who I think was just my age.
Who are they? I think Dad's effort is too much if even these people he made as a witness in my proposal to Hannah.
"This is my daughter. She's Ciara Hilvano." The woman in front of me glanced at me as her father introduced her to me, who is now smiling at me genuinely.
"He's Tyron Collins, my only son." Dad also introduced me.
'Wait, why do we need to introduce ourselves? What is this really for?'
"Hi, it's my pleasure to meet you, Tyron." My eyes darted on the woman's palm when she landed it in front of me.
"Ah, yeah. Same to you." I replied and held her hands while smiling awkwardly.
Can someone at least tell me what's happening? This looks suspicious to me and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. Damn it.
"So, when's the wedding?" I heard Mrs. Hilvano ask while slicing the food in front of her. I frowned at her sudden question.
Wedding? Who the hell will get married?
A few days have passed and my head is always heating up, my blood keeps on boiling. I don't know why, but I get annoyed every time I smell Tyron's perfume.But now I couldn't understand myself, I was holding the knife while staring at him. I'm enjoying seeing him being scared of me."Can you just tell me what you want? Stop pointing it at me," he complained, which made my blood heat up even more because I just heard his voice."Are you complaining?""N-no, I was just telling you to put it down, wife, and tell me what you want me to buy..." he answered calmly, but I just glared at him."Buy me a mango," I said when I suddenly felt myself craving sourness."Is that all?""But I want the boneless one, but something raw, but I want it sweet," I explained the taste that my stomach wanted now. After I said that, his two eyebrows almost furrowed."What?! Is that even existing? Raw mango without seeds, then you want it sweet? Sweet but raw? Are you kidding me?" My eyebrows rose because he kee

It was as if I would disappear when he let go of me.We were about to get back in the car when we met Tyler."Dude!" He greeted Tyron and was supposed to kiss him on the cheek when I kicked him on his ass. This bastard..."Ah! That hurts?!" He complained and glared at me. I heard Tyron chuckle.Stupid, why would he kiss my husband, he already has his Raiza. I might bury him alive by chance"What are you doing here monkey notch?" I asked him, face frowning even more."Handsome monkey," You also admitted that you were a monkey."Btw, you're already here. Tonight, at the bar, celebration!" He said, smiling, excitedly."Celebration for what?" "My love is about to give birth! Damn! I can't wait to be a handsome father
TW: softie husbandCiara's pov"Cheers !! Wooh! Congrats !!" We all shouted at the same time, and then we laughed after we clinked our glasses at each other.I just smiled when I watched them all. And now, we're totally complete. I can't believe it.I immediately remembered what Jennifer told me before we entered the church.'Shut up! And just keep your mouth shut.'Yeah. Now I understand why she said shock instead of shut. Well yes, I was really shocked, because what happened was unbelievable and I got almost out of breath, so close to passing out the moment I saw the person I didn't expect.Until now, I still can't believe how I'm crying every day because of him, regretting the chance to be with him again, knowing that he's dead. But when everything seems to be fine, because finally, I'm with my biological parents already, I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in front of me as my groom, because all I thought was that, it was really Raiza and Tyron who would get married, but it tur
TW: fake death (always put to your mind that this is pure fiction)Ciara's pov"T-Tyron.."I could feel my tears constantly flowing from my eyes. But instead of answering me, he just smiled at me. A smile that makes my knees weaken, even more, the smile that I thought I would never see in my life or even once in my life ever again, will unexpectedly be seen by my two eyes exactly on this day. It was as if my heart was pounding as he stepped closer to me.Tyron..."Can I take the hand of your daughter, sir?" He politely asked my daddy, while I still couldn't take my eyes off him."Here, she's all yours now. Take care of her, I'm trusting her to you, don't fail me," dad gave my hand to him."Thank you, sir." He smiled and gently accepted my hand. And the moment he held my hand and I felt his warm skin on me, that's when reality hit me.H-he's alive."Y-you're dead.. h-how—" I cried to him, but he cut me off."Shh." I was even surprised when he took my right hand and applied it to his f
Ciara's pov"There you go! You looked so gorgeous, Ma'am Ciara!" Tita Jolei said excitedly as they finalized my makeup and hairstyle. They didn't even take so long to finish everything."And one more thing, your shoes!" Tita Angeli said and took the box of sandals from the top of the table where I didn't notice that it was placed there. He excitedly opened it and carefully took it out of the box. My eyes twinkle in amusement when I see it.It's so beautiful."Pretty, right? This will surely perfectly suit you," he said and gently put the white heels on my feet. After he put it in, Tita Jolei guided me to stand up for them to see my wholeness of me."How do I look?" I shyly asked as they were too stunned to stare at me as if they were adoring my looks. I held my nape in shame when they dramatically covered their mouths, tearing up, looking so proud. They held each other's hands and screamed in joy."Look how perfect she is!""I know right?!"I bit my lower lip to resist smiling."Go an
Ciara's pov"100,000 FOR ME! YES, WOOOOH! LET'S GAUR!!" He overly jumped in joy, shouting his heart out as we all awkwardly stared at him. Until Jennifer secretly approaches him and hits his head, shyly smiling at everyone as if she was apologizing using her eyes, as everyone was looking weirdly in Tyler's direction."Ouch! The fuck with you?!" Tyler's complaint, but as soon as Jennifer glares at him, he suddenly zips his mouth off, realizing what shameful he just did."Shut up, you're embarrassing! Can't you see that we're all serious here and you'll suddenly shout like a fucking autistic there?!" Jennifer gave her young brother a deadly glare."Haha, it's okay! Don't worry, it's all yours." Mrs. Cortel's utter made our eyes widen. Woah, for real?! That's a lot of money!"Yes! Told you! We deserve it!" Tyler pointed at his older sister, bragging, but Jennifer just rolled her eyes yet her face says it all how excited she is as soon as we all heard that we'll get it.Easy money!"How a
