The Billionaire's Secret (𝓑𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓲𝓻𝓮 𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓼 #1)

Chapter 29

It's already 3am in the first day of January. Everyone's still enjoying the pool party while I and Acrisius decided to left them. Before the New Year's Eve we already planned to welcome this year at the beach but her Mom requested that she wants to be with them on that moment so we agreed that's why I also joined them today.

We're done preparing our things we needed. We just took a bath quickly and decided to go. It's almost an hour since we came here. Welcome to the famous white sand beach!

After we rent a room for the both of us we set our things and arranged some stuffs. When I finished what I'm doing I asked Acrisius if I can walk on the seashore luckily he agreed and said that he'll follow when he's done.

I just brought my cardigan, phone and my instant camera. Pag labas ko palang at pag apak sa mga buhangin ay sinalubong na ako ng maganda't malamig na simoy ng hangin. I smiled a little. I am now free.

I started walking at the seashore and feel the cold breeze. The sound of the waves makes me relaxed at this moment. I let out a deep breath before sitting on a half branch of a tree. I take some photos and opened my phone then dialed my Mom's number.

"Hello Ma." I heard she scream. "Oh my gosh! Azeil, I miss you so much. How are you? Happy New Year anak. Where are you?" sunod sunod na tanong niya. I laughed at her.

"Happy New Year too! I am happy today Ma. I also miss you." then I bid a goodbye to them. We talk for a few more minutes then I let them rest and enjoy their quality time together. I never see my Mom happy before like that.

I saw Acrisius walking towards me carrying a sack of small cuts hickory wood. We set it for our bonfire at the seashore. He also brought a folding chairs for the both of us and also some snacks and fruits. I took some pictures of him lighting up the bonfire. He gave me a piece of paper and pen.

"What's this for Acrisius?" I asked. He finished putting woods before answering me. "Write down the things, feelings, or memories you wanted to let go." he said. I suddenly felt sadness cause I wanted to let go almost of my memories. "Don't force yourself if you can't let some things go. Time will come for that. Tulad lang din ng pagpapatawad mahirap gawin pero darating ang oras na kusa mo itong gagawin ng wala ng bigat sa pakiramdam." he added.

I just nodded at him and started writing. I almost used the back of the paper I have a lot of things that I wanted let go. Mostly nilagay ko ay mga sama ng loob kay Daddy Vince at mga insecurities ko sa buhay. I also wrote those bad memories of my family. After that I held the paper to Acrisius.

"Burn it here." he said pointing at the fire. I held a deep breath before I throw the crampled paper. Little by little the paper turns into ashes until I haven't seen anything. This is my first time doing this at sa totoo lang ang gaan sa pakiramdam. Para akong nakalaya at wala na 'yung bigat ng bagahe na matagal ko ng dinadala.

I stand up and hugged Acrisius. "Thank you, love. I really feel better now and that's all because of you. I am always grateful to have you." I said in the middle of our hugs and I felt he nodded before kissing the side of my forehead.

We talked about what we wrote on the paper and I am glad that we're having our own quality time together. We took a lot of selca, enjoyed the cold wind and listened to the sound of the sea waves. He stand up and get something from the back of his chair. It's a guitar.

He started strumming and humming. I just stared at him cause I don't want to missed a single gesture of him. Every moment is precious now. "Oh! Wait." he said and scroll on his phone then he went back on strumming. It's a familiar song and also a familiar scene.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

He sing while looking at my eyes. Okay here we go again I'm running out of oxygen.
