Chapter 5

Amber’s Point of View

“You know what it hurts to see the person you love with someone else. Especially if it’s his ex because that’s how I feel right now. I know how much Asher loved Bea, Bea who was my friend before. And seeing them together hurts me a lot.” That’s what I saw, a picture of Asher and Bea together at a restaurant in Singapore and maybe that’s the reason why he’s not answering my calls.

“Amber don’t cry, why don’t you call Asher again and ask him where he went and who’s with him yesterday.” That’s what I did, I thought he wouldn’t answer me again but it’s good that he answered already.

“Hello love good morning, today is your second day there. What did you do yesterday?” I softened my voice and moved the speaker of the cellphone a bit away from me so that he wouldn’t notice that I’m crying.

“Nothing, I just spent the whole day in dad’s office.” You lied to me Asher.

“Okay, where are you now? Wait why is it so noisy there?” I asked him again.

“Oh that, I’m just here at a bar to relax and unwind.”

“Oh, I’ll hang up on this call, you need to rest Amber. Your dad told me what happened to you, we talk again if you’re okay now.”

“Bye I love - “I was cut off because the call immediately hung up.

“Didn’t say good morning, I love you, or even ask if you’re okay, how are you or say goodbye and most of all hung up on you.” My tears started to fall again while looking at Bea’s post yesterday together with Asher. While crying I find it harder to breath. I just don’t let Elaine know because I’m sure she’ll just worry.

“Just don’t think about those things, your illness might only get. You can talk to him when he gets home.” I just nodded and slowly calmed myself down.

“Just believe that Asher won’t cheat on you because he promised that you two we’re getting married as soon as he comes back. Its unlikely that he’ll cheat.”

“You’re right, I just need to trust him.” I calm but I’m also having trouble breathing.

“Elaine I can’t breathed.” I just held my chest because it really hurts and I didn’t know what to do.

“Just wait here, I will call the doctor.” He hurriedly ran out of my room. Because my chest hurts so much, I’m about to lose my consciousness, luckily the doctor came right away but little by little my vision was getting blurry and darkness was engulfing me.

“Asher, I need you.” It was the last thing I uttered before passing out in my hospital bed.

I’ve been in and out of the hospital for a month now due to frequent chest tightness and difficulty breathing. But in that one month, I haven’t received any single call or even a text message from Asher. When I ask my mom, they don’t answer me. They always avoid it when I ask.

Today mom and dad brought me here at our farm to breath some fresh air. While we are walking around I suddenly remember Asher

“Mom, did Asher called already? When is he coming home?” Mom just looked at Dad, as if they were hiding something from me.

“Amber, your Dad and I need to tell you something.” Mom faced me and held my hands while caressing it. I could see the sadness in her eyes.
“Asher come home last week, but he hasn’t been able to see you  because he has a big problem right now. But don’t worry, he said maybe one of these days he will visit you.” I don’t know if I’ll be happy or what, because of the expression that mom is showing me, It looks like that she’s going to cry but she’s been holding it back.

“Hey darling look at me, I know you’re very strong so just get over of it okay? No matter what trials comes into your way always remember that your dad and I are always here for you.” She cupped my face and kissed my forehead.

After roaming around the farm, we eat in a hut under a mango tree. While eating suddenly someone called my dad and so he left the room to answer the call. When he comes back, there was a lot of sadness on his face. I’m here now at home lying on my bed just scrolling through Instagram, I don’t know what pushed me to stalk Bea.

That I wish I hadn’t done it.
While scrolling on her timeline I was a picture of the two of them while she’s kissing Asher’s cheeks. When I looked at the comments most of them congratulated them.
They got back together while he was my fiance.

“How could you do this to me Asher?” I whispered into the air as my tears fell.
