It has been 2 years and I feel wasted every single day. I am still alone. She left me without know about what happened.

Flashback.

When she told me that she had to leave, I let her go 'cause I was so sure she was going to come back. So I had to face everyone and told them what was their problem. My mom answered. "Son, you are not getting married with Ivy but with Denise. Her parents decided that it would be nice if it was a surprise. So I agreed. Aren't you happy?"

I just kept on smiling.

But then when I exited the room to go after my girlfriend, Nicole called telling me that Denise migrated and left everything to her. She doesn't know what was going on.

So here I am looking and feeling very miserable at myself.

I wasted all my days, months and years without doing anything just to find her and I am tired of this kind of set up. So I decided. To finally go after her. I hope she didn't change her number.

I called her.

After the 3rd ring, she picked up.

Hello--

Nise! Where are you? I have been feeling so low without you. Please come back.

Hi Ace. I'm alright. Just finish your dept and one more year. I love you okay? No one else here just you. I'll be back. I promise--

Then she hanged up. I was so sure. She is crying right now.

So I decided to send her a message.

To: Afrodite :*

* I know your crying. Don't worry i'm always your. Always be yours. Smile now. *

Message sent!

After that I arranged everything I needed. And spoke to my parents and her parents.

We gathered at the living room. I told them that I contacted Nise.

So in return, they apologized for being so harsh at the time when they tried to disappoint Nise.

So I just told them that it's alright besides, the damaged has been done. And finally we will work this out. So, the discussion is being continued. We tackled a lot of things like the preparation for events uhm Nise's welcome home present. The meeting ended with a time of 3 hours straight . I felt hungry. But atleast we arrived at a decision. And that is to bring back My soon to be Mrs. Gil.

I directly went to my room to pack my things and called my accountant to book me a flight to England.

I am sooo exited but you see, Its never easy to sacrifice things by going after to your true love but im very sure. It'll be all worth it.

I have all I wanted. Soo, I have to go to my accountant to get my ticket.

Denise, my aprodite. I'll be there.

Denise

He called. After all these years. He called me! He still cares!

When I hanged up. I cried. Not because of disappointment. But because , I still love him to think thay he's still married with a girl that I don't even know, but maybe it's still Ivy. I'm so sure. Their happy together. But hope comes into me by thinking that he still belongs to me. That he still loves me  and that he the notices that he knows that I still love him maybe because I answered the call.

Minutes later. I received a text. It was from Ace.

From: Superboy     
  - I know your crying. Don't worry i'm always your. Always be yours. Smile now. -

Why does he know that I am crying? Is he here ? Can he see me from me? No, right?

I just smiled at his text. But I never bothered to send him a reply.

I decided to head out to the mall. And shop for things. You see, while I was alone here. I learned to love shopping even more. More like before. I drove myself to the mall. And shop myself to the fullest. My parents know about this. A year after I left. I contacted them. I told them that im here in England and that my exact address too. So they know everything of what I'm doing here. And they support me. They tried to tell me things of what was happening in the Philippines but I told them that I didn't want them tell me. So they gave up.

Now it's been two years, and guess what? I made 3 friends. They are all great people. Then is Ken, he's a guy, pretty much a party boy, there's Angela, the shopoholic, she has really cool sense of style, and finally, Kyle. You see when I first met Kyle, he was my secret crush. I'd see him on the balcony next to my condominium unit staring at the skies. Just like Ace. He likes to cook and eat. And most especially, he's good and kind. If you'll get the chance to meet him, you'll be surprised. But yeah, Kyle has a girlfriend which was not really my friend. She was bossy. Her name is Bea. She's a designer of branded shoes. She's beautiful but not the attitude. What? I'm just being honest. But one thing's for sure. My friends are the best. We use to hang out during saturdays, go to parties, shopping and visit some tourist spots. You'll love them.

Who would have thought that I had the capacity or the strength to make friends, and I met them all at the same time except for Kyle.

Well, enough of that. My life here in England is just so much fun. And problem free since I never heard of any news from the Philippines which was my choice. But, one more year. And ill be back. I'll have to deal with people.

I never noticed that I was way past my bedtime. It's already 10 pm here. And usually, I sleep at the time of 8 pm. Since I have no plan to stay up all night. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. Slowly then all at once just as similar when I loved Ace.

An hour later..

Why can't I sleep? What is wrong with me?

I can sense that something is happening. I don't know If I should feel this way.

I just kept on staring on the photograph across my bed which was our photograph. My whole family. As I stared thay can finally to my senses that I should finally catch some sleep.
Then, in just one blink, I did. I finally drifted to sleep.

My flight was cool. The flight attendants were approachable and beautiful if I may add.
Throught out the flight all I can think of was Nise. What would her reaction  be, or how would I face her. Does she love someone else?

I don't know. I am feeling a roller coaster of mixed emotions.

I have 5 more hours to get there and get off this plane and be with Denise. With my aprodite.
