To be with Strangers

Chapter 30

"Is she the woman you choose to marry instead of me? Hah! I'm so disappointed Caldwell..." Mia is standing there crossing her arms judging us both, I don't know why but I'm starting to feel embarrassed because people were starting to get curious what is happening to our table.

Caldwell was a bit shocked because of Mia's presence "I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you Mia, you changed a lot, wait you two knew each other?" Mia rolled her eyes on me and she get the chair near her, the waiter was about to approach her not to go there because that is reserved by two people but she ignored it so I just gestured to the waiter that it's okay so she won't do something scandolous while she's in the restaurant, she then sat beside Caldwell.

"Honestly I don't know her in person but she was the butler who disrespect me, at  the hotel where my parents are one of the highest shareholder thinking she's getting paid for being rude, how unthankful isn't? so I don't think you two should be in a relationship, she's not the right woman for you,I bet she doesn't told you that she's a gold digger" gustong gusto kong awayin siya pero ayokong gumawa ng eksena doon at ayoko din masira ang gabi ko dahil sa kanya pero sinasagad niya talaga ang pasensya ko

"Mia, hindi ako ganung klaseng babae, di ko magagawa yun kay Caldwell kaya please lang tigilan mo na" hininaan ko na lang ang boses ko para di makaistorbo sa ibang tao pero ewan ko ba talagang hindi titigil to hangga't di niya nasasagad pasensya ko

"Oh really?! I don't think so, you can't fool me! you're just taking advantage to Caldwell because he can't remember anything, but sorry to say I'm here now so better stay away to my man!" I was about to say something to Mia but Caldwell stand where he was seated to pulled me and take me with him to go outside the restaurant

"Let's go,Sorry Mia please excuse us" I let Caldwell to pull me but Mia followed us and start talking nonsense again but Caldwell starting to get annoyed so we stopped when we're finally outside the restaurant and faced Mia

"Oh Come on Mia! It's been a long time since we broke up! Move on! I have enough! Can't you see?! I'm already in a relationship with Aichi and we're supposed to get married soon but accident happens, I don't know where do you get the news or who told you that I lost some of my memories but fuck I don't care anymore, yes I won't lie, I don't remember anything about her or us but does it matter?!  I'm trying every single damn time I always do!and you know what? even you say something bad about her it doesn't change any fact I still love her and your plan to get back on me will never happen never... because on the first place I never loved you" Mia are both disappointed and shocked because of what Caldwell said to her, she was about to break down but she went to Caldwell and slap him hard

"How dare you to say that to me?! I'm way more better than to that poor slut woman! She just want your money nothing else Caldwell! Really?! A butler?! you choose her over me are you insane?! Caldwell wake up! She's nothing! Come to think of it when we get married, our family business will emerge and that will be a great success to the both of us, people will start talking about us our company will be on the headlines and it would be great news cause your company will be not facing bankruptcy and everything your family did especially your parents will not be loss. so I'll be a good asset to your company I will give the life you deserve so choose me Caldwell, She doesn't deserve a man like you! Believe me!" my mouth formed an 'O' because of what she said, this woman never stop degrading me she's too much already so I went in front of her to stop her from daydreaming

"Mia gumising ka nga! pwede ba tumigil ka na! Maawa ka naman sa sarili mo, ayoko ng gulo, sinasabi na ni Caldwell na di na mangyayari ang gusto mo, wag mo ng ipagsiksikan ang sarili mo sa taong ayaw na sayo, mahal na mahal ko si Caldwell at di ko kayang lokohin siya katulad ng binibintang mo sa akin, please stop being like this, I'm already the woman he wants to be with" but Mia pushed me really hard and slap me on my face so Caldwell came between us to stopped Mia and helped me to stand

"How can you be so sure that he loves you?! He doesn't remember you at all! Oh please stop being delusional! stop chasing him he's not for you fake butler better back off he's mine and he will never be yours!" Mia was about to grab my hair but Caldwell stopped her from doing that

"Stop it already Mia! You don't understand... She's... pregnant okay?! and I-im going to be a father soon so I don't see any reason to broke up with her besides before I got into accident I already propose to her and decide to get married with her I also planned to build a family with her so stop it already no one can change my mind my parents love her too so there's no problem in our relationship" Mia was shocked because of what she heard but she's not the only one, me too!

I looked at my tummy cause I was confused Wait! Anong pumasok sa utak ni Caldwell at nasabi niyang buntis ako? Ha? Ako buntis? Eh matagal na din nung huli at regular pa din Naman ako! I was about to react but Caldwell squeezed my hand so I looked at him and he whispered "Sorry I can't think any valid reason, maybe when she knew you're pregnant she would stop... I think?" So I looked at Mia's reaction and she still processing everything. Caldwell speak again so she can go back from her senses

"Mia, I'm very sorry but I don't really have feelings for you since then, the love I felt to Aichi was different it's real and serious I don't know when that start but I know to myself I really love Aichi and I know she loves me too so please let us be happy, you'll met someone who can make you happy and loved, I'm surely you will" she sat on the ground and start crying there bursting all the pain she felt, even she said many bad things about me I still felt bad abou her, you can see how much she loves Caldwell.

Caldwell held my face so I looked at him "I'll get the car wait for me here okay?" he kissed my forehead before he go, I walked towards Mia to helped her stand but she pushed me really hard so I sat on the ground then she immediately stand and looked me with so much anger on her eyes.

"If you think you already win, better to think it again Aichi, I will not let you to be with the man I love! I will make sure he will come back to me and you'll suffer, you will regret this!" then she walked away, I tried to follow her but the heels I'm wearing broke so I tripped and fall

"Aaaahhhh!" nasugatan ang tuhod ko at parang may naipit pa na ugat sa paanan ko, sinubukan ko ulit tumayo pero sobrang sakit lang nito, hihingi na sana ako ng tulong nang biglang may paparating palang sasakyan sa likod ko sinubukan ko ulit tumayo pero nasilaw na lang ako sa ilaw ng kotse at biglang nanlabo ang mga mata ko, napahawak ako sa ulo sa sobrang sakit, marami na ang sumisigaw sa paligid ko pero ng tignan ko yun ay sobrang labo na talaga nila, naramdaman ko na lang na may biglang bumuhat sa akin at tuluyang nawalan na ako ng malay.

Pagkagising ko ay nasilaw ako sa araw na tumama sa mga mata ko, babangon sana ako pero naramdaman ko lang ang sakit ng katawan at ulo ko, nang makita ko ang sarili ko ay puro ako sugat at may bandage na nakapulupot sa ulo ko, may lumapit na apat na babae sa akin, niyakap nila ako ng mahigpit at umiiyak sila habang ako ay gulong gulo sa nangyari

"Thank God you're awake" Sabi ng isang babaeng maamo ang mukha

"Aichi kamusta ka? May masakit ba sayo?" Sunod na sabi nung isa

"Babe do you want something? tell us we brought you some fruits here" nanginginig pa ang noses Niya at feeling ko soya ang pinakabata sa kanila

"Buti na lang nagising ka na ang tagal mo din natulog Ai, nag alala kami sayo" Sabi ng huling babaeng nakasuot lang ng maroon na bralette at ripped jeans pero nagtaka lang ako lalo dahil kilala nila ako

"Uh-uhm... " di ko natuloy ang sasabihin ko ng may pumasok pang limang lalaki sa kwarto ko pero leaking gulat ko ng lumapit ang isa sa kanila at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"You sleep too long my love, you make us worried about you, how do you feel does you head still hurts?" I take my hands off of him and just stare at him for a long time trying to remember him before I speak.

"O-okay lang naman ako... Pero na-nasaan ako? Anong bang nangyari? Si-sino kayo?" Tumitig ako ulit sa lalaking nasa harapan ko at tinanong din siya

"Sino ka? Di kita maalala..."

Wala akong maalala...
