A Promise that Holds Us

Chapter 1: Coincidence or Fate

When you hear the word coincidence, ano yung una mong naiisip? Well to be clear, the definition of this is a series of events, that are connected or somehow related that happens unexpectedly. If coincidence is by accident, what about fate? When I think about this I think of destiny, which is bound to happened to you, like if I keep meeting this person unexpectedly thrice, I would think that this person is destined to meet me, assuming man ako pero that is the definition of fate. Somehow we get to choose if it is coincidence or fate. Kung crush ko ang nakikita ko lagi by coincidence then why not just consider it fate made by God.

Ngayon tatanongin ko sayo kung coincidence ba na mag kita kayo ng ex mo pagkalipas ng pitong taon, na pagkatapos ka niyang lokohin at pinangako mo na kahit ano mangyari di kayo magkikita, or is it fate kasi after erasing all of of your past and connections, nahanap ka parin niya sa company mo.

I felt my heart racing when I saw him standing there right in front of me. Back then I wanted revenge, kaso ayaw ko maging tulad niya, ayaw ko saktan ang mahal ko despite of what he did to me, my love for him was deeper, minahal ko siya kahit ano ang sinabi tungkol sakanya, at ngayon na nag kita na kami uli gusto ko na magalit, pero of course I needed to be a professional, after all I own one of the biggest company in asia.

Our eyes have locked, and he looked exactly the same, with his deep-set brown eyes that I used to stare at all the time, a sharp jawline that got every girl's attention somehow, thick eyebrows but not bushy, a button nose, a warm beige skin tone that was like sand, and the perfect body, at least that's what I think of.

Ano ba Annalise stop fantasizing him, just like a nightshade flower, amusing to the eyes, but toxic. He hurt you at yun na lang dapat mong isipin.

I was walking towards him with full confidence even though I have this weird feeling in my stomach, probably because I felt anxious at the same time, at pinagsisihan ko na pumunta pa ako sa lobby, instead of staying at my office, akala ko naman kasi andito na yung mga bisita ko, halatang excited kasi yung secretary ko na sinabi na may nag hahanap sakin. I even wanted to attempt to escape this awkward scenario kaso that was inevitable.

"Annalise, ang tagal na natin di nag kita ah, ang laki na ng pinag bago mo, mas lalo ka gumanda"

Hmm meron talaga mga bagay na di nag babago, he still had this deep husky voice, but rather sounds sweet too, pero mag focus tayo di yun ang mahalaga

"It's actually Alice now, or just call me Ms. Levine, hinahanap mo daw ako?" sagot ko na malamig na tono, habang naka tingin sa mga mata niya.

"Ahh oo pumunta kasi ako dito para mag apply"

"Kung ganun pwede ka lang naman humingi ng application form sa lobby, at wala naman sakin yun, meron din kaming online website para makapag apply ka, why bother a busy person? Now will you excuse me, madami pa kasi ako gagawin"

"Ang sungit naman nito, hindi ba pwede na gusto lang kita makita?"

Ang kapal din ng muka nito no, nag hanap siya ng iba, tas gusto niya ako makita.

"Kung natanggap ka naman sa companya ko, may posibilidad na makikita mo ako, pero mas mabuti na di tayo mag kita"

Ngumite siya sakin pero tinalikuran ko yun at umalis na lang. I felt this weird feeling in my heart and my anxiety grew, siguro dahil di ko inaasahan na mag kita kami uli? I mean never ko pa inimagine na kung ano mangyayari pag nag kita kami uli kasi I made sure na di na kami mag kikita kahit kailan. Pitong taon na naka lipas bakit nag pakita pa siya, hindi niya alam kung ano sakit ang binigay niya sakin, ang swerte nga niya kasi wala akong ginawa, tinapos ko ang relation namin ng madali, dinahilan ko na pagod na ako and that I didn't have time for relationships dahil kailangan ko mag focus para sa career ko. I loved him so much, that I gave up a lot of things, pero ano magagawa ko kung one sided lang pala yung pagmamahal na yun.
