Chloe's POV

After that revelation night, I'm going to be crazy for thinking like there no tommorow. I am even getting worried because I can't see any shadow of Mark! He just leave!

Vince, explained everything. He talks to Mark. And I think that's the reason why he's avoiding me. Vince know me well than my self to me. He's really a good 'boy friend' I could have.

I want to see Mark, I want to say sorry for pushing him away, for hurting him. Hindi ko naisip na pareho lang kaming nasasaktan at kung magpapatuloy pa to, we'll just end up into nothing but destroyed, hating each other.

I will make the first move dahil siguro ngayun ang alam nya um-oo ako sa proposal ni Vince.

I dialed his company's number. With my hands are shaking and I also felt a lump on my throat.

After a few rings someone's answered it was the secretary, I asked for Mark but she turned it to his business partner who named JC.

"Hello?"

"H-hello? This is C-Chloe Dela Cruz, can speak for Mark?"

"I'm with him the last time, that drunkard man, but he's on a leave."

"Did you know where is he?"

"Sorry ma'am he doesn't leave us an info for that, by the way, I'm JC, I could tell him whenever he gets back."

"Okay, thank you." Nanlulumo akong ibinaba ang telepono.

What should I do? Hindi na ako mapakali, lalo pa't I don't know where the hell he went! Wala akong alam!

Siguro ganito din yung naramdaman nya noing araw na umalis ako. I can't blame him for hating me lalo pa't may ibang tao ang nakapaligid sakanya noon. Pero iba naman ako, nagsisisi.

Balisang balisa akong umuwi sa bahay. I'm so stressed. Then I saw dad.

"Dad!" I hugged him. I really need a hand. Kahit ang anak ko nalulungkot na, I will do it once and for all. I really want a complete family for heaven's sake!

"I know it.. My daughter's truly, deeply,madly in love. How lucky that man could be?" He joked but I cried. I can't carry it anymore, I need a shoulder to cry on. Hindi ko alam kung babalik pa ba sya.

My dad's console me until I sleep. I woke up next morning head aching, hindi narin ako nakapasok dahil late na akong nagising, ni hindi pa nga ako nakakapag palit ng damit pero iniisip ko kaagad kung anong magiging next moved ko.

"Mom," I was carefully massaging my head when someone spoke up, it's my son, he suddenly massage my head and I feel like crying.

"Thank you Jensen.. for giving your mommy a strength." He kissed my forehead. How sweet he could be,

"Mommy is daddy going to come back?"

"Don't worry baby, mommy's gonna do everything to find your daddy okay? And we will live a happily ever after!" Masigla kong sagot between my sobs, I kissed the back of his palm.

"Really mommy? Don't cry na, I know naman daddy won't leave us, he told me, he really loves you and me daw, that he would kill all the bad guys will hurts us, like super man, so stop crying na mommy." He wiped my tears and kissed my eyes. "Mommy let's get breakfast I'm starving already na e,"

I changed my chlothes at bumaba there I saw dad coffee on his hand while reading newspaper.

"Good morning lolo!"

"Good morning apo!" They hugged each other.

"Good morning pa," Tumugon sya at kumain kami habang si Jensen masiglan nakikipag kwentuhan kay dad,

"Jensen finish you milk."

"Yes mommy!"

"Nga pala, anak, humanap na ako ng investigator para mahanap kung nasaan sya." I know to whom whose pertaining.

"Salamat dad, you have to do this but, I really appreciate it."

"Lolo! What was that for?" Oh! Hindi nga pala sya nakakaintindi ng tagalog, so he's probably know the 'investigator' thingy. Nagpalusot na lang si daddy.

I stayed with Jensen that day. Day had passed pero wala paring balita, hindi ba pwedeng bumalik na sya dito? We were worried sick!

Vincent's even calling me a couple of times, he's also trying to get an information he can do, where the hell in world are you Mr. Mark Alcantara? I mentally curse out of frustration.

Lola even ask me. She just said na wag akong magalala, nagaalala man din daw sila kay Mark and they support me whatever I want as ling as I'm happy.

I really the people beside me whenever my ups and downs. How lucky my life is?

"Anak! May balita na kami! I don't know kung familiar ka sa lugar, medyo may kalayuan. An island in visayas." He just give me the exact location. I packed my things immediately. Just one back pack, I didn't even bother to woke up Jensen, it's afternoon so he's probably asleep.

I have a business flight. Kinakabahan ako, hinatid ako ni papa sa airport na naka pambahay, kahit ako ganoon din, he just gave his advice.

"Listen to your heart, let your heart dicide this time okay? I'm happy for you my daughter. "

"Thank you dad. I love you." I hugged him tight at biglang nag announce na ang airport for the flight. Agad akong pumasok sa loob ng airport. I waived my good bye to dad and I said take care for Jensen, saglit lang naman akong mawawala.

Pinakita ko yung passport and visa ko at nagmamadali akong sumakay ng eroplano.

Kung may ibibilis lang sana tong eroplano. I'm really in a hurry, good thing wala sya sa ibang bansa. I texted Vincent, he said 'good luck and enjoy," Sana, It's not too late.

Hour had passed at nakarating na ako, but I really need to ride one. Patience.

It was a resort. A beautiful one. The ambiance naturally relaxing. Perfect place for him, for the both of us. I go to the lobby and ask for an information, she said I can't get inside without reservation. S-hit, I forgot it's already summer.

"Ahm, I'm with someone, unfortunately, I'm.. I'm too late. Please let me in." I almost beg on my knees.

"Okay ma'am, you're name?"

"Chloe Villegas." She typed.

"Okay ma'am. What's the name of you're with going to be with?"

"I am with Mark Alcantara." I wanted to shout at the girl, can't you just see I'm in a hurry?!

"Relationship?" She mentally ask herself, kailanagn pa ba iyon? Anong isasagot nya?

"I'm his girlfriend and his... future wife, so please let me in... please." The girl smiled sheepishly.

Okay, I don't need to be shy! May anak na kami! No need to waste the time, d-amn, I forgot to ask his room number. I-diot!

I look around. Maraming rooms, marami ring foreigners ang nag su- sun bathing. Naglakad-lakad ako sa may tabing dagat, gosh wrong place, andaming naglalaro ng kung ano-ano. I am losing my hopes.

Someone caught my attention in my pheripheral vision. There he is, throwing stone to the shore while sitting on the sand with himself.

Oh my gosh, what I have done to him? I almost destoy him! Slowly, I came near him, wala syang pakialam sa paligid nya. I sat beside him.

"Hey!" I tried to sound like it was coincidence to see him here but when he looks into my eyes I feel like my knees melted. I want to caress his face, kiss him on the lips, God how I love this man.

And just realize, I'll never regret choosing him. I am willing to risk whatever it is and whatever it takes.
