Where Secrets Lie (SOW #3)

Epilogue

If you noticed, some things and scenes here changed. May nadagdag at may naalis. As you noticed, Parker isn't here in this story dahil the scenes in the chapters 10 until ending while Parker is at jail so, wala siyang masiyadong exposure dito. Sa unang version, marami but as I read this again, napansin kong may mali so, ayan. Some scenes here in epilogue will be changed also. Kung nabasa niyo ang old version, it's fine but you will notice changes pero relevant pa rin naman sa nauna so, okay lang.

Thank you rin ate Lorrie Jane Fuertes for letting me use your name!

Anyway, this is the last chapter of Lorrie and Jeon's story. I hope you learned something from this. Thank you for trying this out!

I stare at the sky and smile sadly. Nakakainis dahil umiiyak na naman ako. Kailan kaya titigil ang mga luhang ito?

I remember her again. Being with her is one of the biggest blessing I had in my life. She's the woman I love the most, Lorrie Jane Fuertes.

Magmula nang mag-propose ako, hinanda ko na lahat. The budget for our wedding, her favorite gown, her favorite theme and I even contacted some wedding organizers without her knowing. I wanted to surprise her.

But I never expect that our lives will turn upside down.

I went home from a trip when I received a call from our neighbor. Siya ang nagbabantay kay Mama kapag wala ako. Nang marinig ko ang pagpa-panic sa boses niya'y mabilis akong napauwi at gumuho ang mundo ko nang makita ang Mama ko na isinasakay sa ambulansya.

I asked our neighbor and she said, my Mom didn't wake up. Hindi ito nagising nang subukan siyang gisingin. I wanted to shout and break things but, one woman came to my mind.

My babe, Lorrie.

I hug her that night. Siya na lang ang meron ako. Sana 'wag niya akong iwan. Sana, manatili lang siya sa tabi ko pang habang buhay.

Pero nabigo na naman ako.

"Ano ito?" Tanong ko kay Kath habang hawak ang isang envelope. I lean my head on the swivel chair and sighed. Pagod ang utak ko sa pag-iisip ng madidisenyo para sa kliyente ko kaya gusto kong magpahinga. Gusto kong umuwi sa fiancee ko at yumakap sa kanya magdamag.

I smiled at that thought. I wonder, what is my babe doing right now?

"See it yourself, Jeoniel." Kath smirked. I don't know what's with her but I found myself opening the envelope and it shocked me. Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko nang makita ang nasa loob noon.

It's my fiancee with a fucking asshole!

"S-saan mo ito nakuha?" Tanong ko habang pinipigilan ang panginginig ng kamao ko. Gusto kong manuntok. Gusto kong magwala pero kinakalma ko ang sarili ko.

No, Lorrie Jane wouldn't do this. She loves me.

"Your fiancee is a cheater, Jeon. I saw it with my own eyes. That's why I took a quick snap so, I can show you that. Are you impressed?" Kath walked near me and placed her hands on my chest but I pushed her away then I walked out of my office.

That night, I ended it all. I threw our engagement ring because of my rage. She's a fucking cheater! She's going behind my back! Galit na galit ako noong gabing 'yon. How could she do that to me? How could she waste years of our relationship just like that?

Am I not enough for her? I fucking love her pero... ito ang igaganti niya?

My mind is full of anger. Wala akong ibang gusto kundi ang iparanas din sa kaniya ang sakit na dinulot niya sa akin.

"Come on, Jeon. When can I move in your house?" I tilted my face when she attempted to kiss me. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako bago ibinaba ang baso ng alak sa mesa.
