Semua Bab One Week Stand: Bab 131 - Bab 140

"I told you this would be over," Dad said to me with a smile. When he found out about Engr. Aragon’s plan to make a retraction, he immediately came home even though his vacation hadn’t officially started yet. He said he’d rather celebrate with us than be away on vacation. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. That problem was so heavy, it felt like it bent me out of shape. But thank God, the burden is finally gone now. Everyone’s here at home today. We decided to celebrate because this is something truly worth celebrating. Everyone was so happy. Even Daisy, who was busy with her business plans, made it here right away. She took care of the last-minute planning – the catering and everything. It almost feels like I brought the firm here too because nearly all of our Engineers and Architects are here. Even Jelyn, the employees from other departments, and Janine came. Everyone came together for the celebration. "So now you didn’t get to enjoy your vacation," I s

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

"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

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

It's been days since I last saw him. I hear him come home to see the kids, but he never stays long. I still refuse to see him, and I'm standing firm on that until now. A day has also passed since the last time I cried because of what he did. I'd like to think that would be the last time because I'm truly exhausted from crying. But I know it won't be the last. I have unlimited tears, and they always fall for him. Nobody else knows what happened yet. But no one has seen us together either. So far, no one's asked us anything, so I haven't had to tell anyone. I don't really want this to turn into a big issue. But who am I kidding? What he did is already a big deal. I still wonder most of the time... what if they find out what Zandrey did? What if they learn that the wedding won't happen anymore? I'm sure it would be a huge disappointment. Even I deeply regret it. But what can I do? It already happened. It can’t be undone. All I think about now is the welfare of the kids. I've been thi
