An Affair to Remember

One Strange Vacation

A/N

Yes ... this is based on the Song Daylight of my dear ADAM ....

I had the story in my mind since I heard the song but it is only now that i'm putting this into writing .... I know the song is about an affair that had to end  and I don't condone AFFAIRs but I really love the song although its message is really sad, but I made my story light 'coz I'm not really into sad and heavy drama stories ---- I'm a happy person ---- so expect a HAPPY STORY.

Enough with my intro ... Thanks for taking your time to read this ...

Love lots, 

Cy (of Adam ... hahahaha ... feeling ... pagbigyan nyo na ako ...)

I'm tired. I've been driving for 7 hours straight ---non-stop. Straight na nga tapos non-stop pa? I don't want to sound redundant, but I just want to stress the fact that I'm tired. Why did I ever agree to this?

You see my fiancée Nikki wanted us to have a vacation --- SEPARATELY. Yah ... that's correct ... SEPARATE VACATIONS. She said we're getting married soon and we'll be inseparable so she thought we needed time to be far from each other. 

My fiancée has been my sweetheart practically since birth. Our families have close ties. Our mothers are best friends and so are our fathers. It was inevitable that we become best friends, too.  We went to the same elementary school, same high school, same university, same course, same block section .... No wonder she needed a vacation away from me.

But you see, Nikki is an amazing girl. She always has these strange ideas and she's not afraid to blurt them out and if she wants it, she definitely gets it. We've been so comfortable being with each other. I can be my wacky self in front of her and she can be her usual crazy and strange self with me. 

We started dating when we were in college. Practically nothing much has really changed because we'd do the same things we did before we officially dated. She was my sweetheart. I took care of her. She took care of me, too. Our relationship was stable ... comfortable ... perfect --- no complications.

Our families are in the same Food Manufacturing Business. Our fathers are in the process of merging the two companies. She is the sole heir of their business and I, too, am the one tasked to continue the business since my older brother chose to be a pilot and has no interest in business.

After we graduated, I didn't know what got into me, but  I just popped the question. You know .... the "will you marry me?" kind of question. No dramas. No special effects. Just the question. And her answer was --- OKAY. I thought we will eventually do it anyway, so why wait for a long time, right? 

Our families were really happy. They never really forced us to be together, but I know they really wanted how things between Nikki and I were working out. The merger is on its way. After the wedding, our fathers will be giving us complete control of the companies. They said it was high time they enjoy their lives and rest. 

I have no complaints .... so does Nikki. We both liked the business. We're both interested to make it bigger. We both have dreams of accomplishing more than what our parents have accomplished. As far as our relationship is concerned, we were okay with it. What could possibly go wrong?

When Nikki told me about this idea of hers ---- this separate vacations thing  ---- I thought this was crazy ... I was planning to go somewhere near ... Batangas, maybe ... But I don't know why, when I was browsing the inteernet, I came across PAGUDPUD ...  Yah, right  ... PAGUDPUD --- which according to google ... is 8 hours 29 minutes away from Manila. My God! ... I still have about an hour and a half of driving ...  I should have turned back when I was in Pampanga ... or I should have just stopped in some resort in Pangasinan. But I don't know  ... I just kept on driving.

These are Nikki's rules about our separate vacations:

1. It would be a one week vacation (7 days to be exact --- this includes travel time)

2. We don't have to tell each other where we are going.

3. No phone calls while on vacation.

4. We just need to text each other, everyday, the word "ALIVE" ... just to make sure we are still both ... you know --- ALIVE. No other details about the vacation should be disclosed in our text messages.

5. Have fun ---- while it lasts ...

Did I tell you my  fiancée is CRAZY!? I think that's the reason why I love her. 

But I feel strange ... this vacation ... I don't know, but I have a strange feeling about this vacation ...
