If There's a Lifetime (Completed)

Chapter 53

In four years of being away from him, I realized that the more I tried to push away, the more those feelings dug me in and pulled me back. For those long and painful years, I tried to move on. I tried to forget what I feel for him… but I failed. I already hit the rock bottom and there’s nothing I couldn’t lose anymore. That’s why I made a vow that I wouldn’t go back to the place I left just to make sure that our paths wouldn’t cross anymore… but who was I kidding?

Fate has been grounded to our choices and decisions and it brought us to see each other again, but no longer to be together, I guess.

The man who was standing two meters away from me has the darkest eyes I’ve ever seen. It felt like he’s no longer the man I knew before. I think he’s no longer my best friend who told me he loves me before I left him.

I was frozen in front of him. He looked so freaking drop-dead gorgeous. After four years of not seeing him, he still looks so handsome in my eyes. He doesn’t look like the man I saw on ate Jem’s wedding photos anymore. He still looks like Kent before, he just became a little mature. His well-toned muscles are conspicuously crept on his white dress shirt. Stubbles are shown on his face, his hair is in clean cut. He looks so freaking hot. But despite that, I noticed one thing that has changed - his eyes. The way he looks at me. He doesn’t look at me the way he did before.

My eyes started to get blurry. My heart was beating erratically. I wanted to say ‘hi’ at least but my lips quivered. And the way he looked at me sent shivers down my freaking spine. He’s so cold.

“We should go. I’ve been waiting here for a couple of hours,” he said indifferently then turned to his heel then walked away. My mouth dropped open. I couldn’t formulate any word to say.

He probably noticed that I wasn’t following him so he stopped and turned to look at me.

“Are you just going to stand there?” I shook my head slowly. “Then let’s go. Stop wasting my time.”

His words were like sharp daggers that pierced my heart. I felt so much pain. Why was he like this? Why does he treat me this way? Did the four years change him into someone I don’t know anymore?

I cleared my throat and tried to stay calm though it felt like anytime I would pass out. “U-uh… m-magbobook na l-lang ako ng p-plane t-ticket.” I was nervous as hell when I said it. God! I never imagined to be in this situation with him!

He stood straight and glared at me.

“So I just waited for nothing? Dapat bago pa pala kayo nakarating dito sinabihan mo na si Myro na hindi ka na makikisakay,” malamig na aniya.

“H-hindi ko n-naman alam na s-sa’yo ako m-makikisakay,” sagot ko sa maliit na tinig. I squeezed my index finger and looked at it. Hindi ko matagalan ang masamang titig ni Kent sa’kin.

“Tss!” I looked up and he smirked. “What’s the matter if it’s me you’re riding with?” he asked seriously. I shook my head. He sneered and continued walking.

With my shaky hands, I reached for my luggage and pulled it. I started to walk with my wobbling knees. He continued walking ahead, I just followed him. I tried to walk as fast as I could to keep up but his strides were long. My heart continued to thump crazily. My palms were cold and sweaty. Tears were also brimming in my eyes. The situation is making me weaker as every second passes.
