My phone rings, it's Eddie calling..

Ed: Babe, aren't you home yet? We're going to have dinner, right? Past 6 na, where are you?

Me: I'm going home love. See you at home.. I Love you.

Ed: Alright. I love you too. Don't be late baka makatulog si Bea kakahintay sa'yo.

Me: Yes love. (then he hang up)

I went back to where Mavs is sitting.

Mavs: I think you need to go.

Me: Yes I do but I need your answer.

Mavs: I wanted to choose you but she's not letting me. Her parents know we are engaged but I never did propose to her. I am stuck in a situation where I can't do anything but to go with the flow.

Me: Why didn't you just tell me that? I loved you whole heartedly yet you never been strong to fight for me. You are such a coward asshole who doesn't know what to do if no one will tell you to do so.

Mavs: I am sorry mi, Angela. I feel like I have obligations to her but to tell you honestly, I gone crazy without you. If you can give me more time to make things right.

Me: I've given you so much time and yeah, thanks for wasting my time. After all, my love is not enough for you to choose me. Definitely, I am the love you never had..

Mavs: What do you mean?

Me: It's over..

I stand where I seated and call mang Kanor to fetch me up. He is driving but I can see him looking at me on a rear mirror.

Mang Kanor: Ma'am, Okay lang po ba kayo?

Me: Opo manong wag kayo mag-alala. (teary eyes)

Mang Kanor: Iiyak niyo po yan baka kung saan po yan lumabas.

Me: Manong, paki daan po sa Hill top. Tapos stop over tayo saglit sa may over looking.

Mang Kanor: Sige po.

Mang Kanor did what I say, he stopped and I come out from the car and yell at the top of my lungs.

Fuck shit!!! Mavs!!! Why are you doing this to me???!!! Why can't you stand on your own and fight for me???!!! Why do you have to keep me waiting??!!! Why can't I stop loving you???!!! I promise I will never go back to you, no matter what happen I will make sure Eddie will get the love you never had from me!!! You will live your whole life with regrets!!! I will stop loving you!!!

I got home almost 9PM and Eddie is sleeping in my sofa with Bea. I kiss his forehead, same with Bea. He wink his eyes and he woke up. "I told you don't be late di ba? Ayan tulog na si Bea." I said, "Sorry babe, I just had to finish something that's why I'm late." "Ano naman yun?" He asked. "It over between me and Mavs."

6 Months after.

I can hear the wedding bells. Oh I'm nervous. Yes I'm getting married. As I walk down the aisle, people stare at me with amazement. My groom is waiting in the altar. He is so handsome and he's trying to fix his bow, he is nervous too.

He took my hands from my dad's and the matrimony started. The candles, veil, coins and lastly the ring...

"Angela, wear this ring as a sign of my love and loyalty, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health, 'til death do us part.." - Edward

"Edward, wear this ring as a sign of my love and loyalty, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health, 'til death do us part.." - Me

It is almost over as the priest said, "Angela, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I answered, "I do.."

"Edward, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" He answered, "I do.."

"You may now kiss the bride." And so we kissed.

In a short span of time, I forget about Mavs. I have been so focused to be a good wife for Ed and be a responsible mommy for Bea. We live together happily and Bea loves Ed as her real dad.

After 2 years, I am pregnant with our son, Cullen. My dad is happy and so as my mom. My brother graduated from college and started working as a normal employee in Montevista Bank (clerical staff as my dad wants him to start from the scratch). I gave my position to Lean as I became a full time mom and wife. My dad made me a stockholder in his corporation and Edward became our IT manager for Montevista bank.

Mavs, got married with Grace after a year of my marriage with Edward. In the same year when I got pregnant, they broke up and filed an annulment. Mavs became alcoholic and lost his job. He gone back to his province and started to become a farmer. After so many years, I am still happily married with Edward while Mavs, I don't know what happened anymore, but I'm hoping, he is doing fine now.
