Engagement Party

(Carina Garcia's pic is shown above)

I inhaled as I went out of the house. The maids immediately closed the door and that's the time when the cold breeze of the night lingered in my skin like it's indicating me for something that will happen specular tonight.

This is it, Carina. You will now finally meet your future in-laws.

I directly walked towards our garage to get my car. Mas nauna na kaseng dumating sa venue sina mama dahil sinundo sila kanina ni Tita Selena. I bought my car from my first ever salary in Alejo's Corporation.

Kahit na ayaw kong mag resign sa mga West ay ginawa ko pa rin dahil sa pamimilit ni Mrs. Alejo. I still don't know how to address her properly because sometimes, she's acting like my mom so I call her tita and when it comes to our so called lectures, She acts like a bitch boss. But still, I'm grateful enough that she's been nice to me all along.

I've been an employee under their company for a couple of months now. She even trained me with it dahil nga, hindi rin ako nakapag tapos ng college. Mabuti nalang at madali lang akong matuto kaya agad ko ring nakuha at naintindihan ang mga pasikot-sikot sa negosyo.

My phone vibrated and it popped a message coming from Arielle.

'Goodluck sissy! Huwag mo pang isuko ang bataan ah? Baka malaglag na naman kase ang panty mo kapag nakita si Fafa Cross'

I can't help but laugh at her message. She's such a silly girl. As if namang may mangyayari sa 'min pagkatapos ng hindi magandang nangyari sa amin no'ng umalis siya. It even crossed my mind that maybe, He will just treat me as a stranger...

How I wish not because I don't know how to handle the pain anymore.

'Loka-loka ka! Ikaw dapat ang paalalahanan ko niyan. May pagka-mahalay ka pa naman.' I replied to her.

Napailing nalang ako nang ibalik ang phone ko sa purse. I decided to not wait her reply anymore dahil baka kung saan pa mapunta ang usapan namin.

I opened my stereo and it's too late to stop it from playing as I heard the lyrics.

"I've been living with a shadow overhead

"I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

I've been lonely for so long

Trapped in the past

I just can't seem to move on"

The lyrics successfully defined what I'm feeling right. For the past days and months, I can't refuse how I've been longing for him. It's like I'm stuck from his touch and cold words towards me. And now, after all the lonely nights, I'll finally see him again!

"I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Just in case I ever need them again someday

I've been setting aside time

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind"

I never knew that I would come this far. Falling for a man like him has never been what I want in the first place. Sa konting panahon lang ay ganito na kaagad ako lubos na nahulog sa kanya. It feels like falling for a person I just met.

"All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love
