When I Met You | OffNew

Chapter 30

New's POV

On the first day, Off keeps on sending messages. Telling me to eat on time, that he misses me and Non and can't wait to see us again.

He even called me late at night, when he got home to say goodnight and sweet dreams. Reminding me to get enough sleep and that he loves us both.

On the second day, Off told me he needs to do a site visit hence won't be able to contact me the whole day. I clearly remember him telling me that he wants to check the quality of their new product.

When I heard someone was with him, not sure if it's Aom but I heard a lady talking, I requested for a video call, he declined, saying his reception is not stable.

I can really feel something is not right... or am I just jealous that my insecurities are being too loud.

He didn't contact me until the third day to tell me that he will be in back to back meetings.

Just almost two weeks before the big day, we are supposed to be together the whole time. I mean, isn't it supposed to be like that? We should be busy with the wedding preparations. Trying on our suits, talking about where to go on our honeymoon, checking the rings, the invitations that need to be sent out.

There's a lot of things to do... and here am I thinking that maybe Off will at least be here physically with me. After all, he did propose, right? But my soon to be husband is currently MIA.

I need to do something about it. I missed him so much. And I don't want him to back out. I realized that even though I had years of relationship with Nammon, what Off and I currently have is different from that.

Way a lot different. Nammon was right, I always keep my guards up when I'm with him. I let my head rule my heart. But with Off, I give him my heart fully.

And it seems like this is the first time I've been in a relationship, that I don't know what to do or to act. But if there's one thing I know, and I'm sure about, is that I love him and I will do anything to save this. To make this work.

I needed Off beside me, I need him now. Aside from the fact that I want him to make me forget my mistakes, the secret I've been hiding for weeks now, I need him to make me feel assured that I'm the one he loves.

I dialed his secretary's number, checking his free time. Planning to bring him his lunch.

"Mae, what time is Off free? Pupunta ako dyan (I will go there)."

"Uhm Sir New, Sir Off has been on leave since yesterday."

Leche ano daw? (What?) Off hid this from me, I don't remember him telling me he will be on leave. I checked my phone and scanned the message he sent hours ago. He said he will be at the meetings.

"Maybe he forgot to inform you po."

"Oh he did inform me, it was me who forgot. Alam mo na, (As you know) busy with the wedding preparations."

"Ah okay po, let me call him to relay that you're looking for him."

"No need for that Mae, I already sent him a message. Thanks bye."

"Okay po."

I look at my phone after that call. My hands are shaking as I type a message to my friends in our group chat.

"I need you." and hit the send button.

He's lying to me...again...

I smirk and sadly look at myself in the mirror. Ang kapal kapal ng mukha ko, (I'm shameless/thick skinned) who am I to ask and demand for honesty when I myself am not doing or saying the truth.
