How can I tell him everything? I didn't have the courage to confess what happened, especially since he threatened to kill anyone who tried to destroy our relationship. I don't want Sean to get hurt.

A few moments later, I heard the doorbell ring again. So I dazedly wiped tears from my eyes. Maybe Julius forgot something so he came back. When I was sure that there were no more tears on my cheeks, I approached the door and opened it. But it wasn't Julius who was outside but Sean.

I quickly hugged him and that's when my tears finally fell.

"Thank you and nothing bad happened to you!" I said to him with a trembling voice.

"Come on, let's go inside." Sean invited me in with his arms around me and closed the door. "Are you okay? Why are you crying? Did he do something bad to you?

My world suddenly stopped when Sean told me that. Does he know that Julius is here?

"How did you know he was here?"

"It doesn't matter how I found out. What I want to know is if he did something bad to you? Why are your eyes so red?" He touched my cheek and looked at my eyes that were still red.

It doesn't exist! I averted my face from him.

"What do you mean nothing? Did he do something to you?! His eyebrows arched suddenly.

"He didn't do anything to me, but I can't divorce Julius."

"What?! Why can't you? Do you love him more than me?

Not like that, Sean! I can't break up with him because I feel sorry for him. He shows me how much he loves me, he is willing to trade everything for me. And that's why I can't tell him everything."

"And what about us?! I'm ready to fight you against anyone, Aira! I can do everything for you. I will love honestly only once, Aira. And you're the girl I want to be with until the end!

"But I hurt Julius once, Sean. And I don't think I would be happy if I had a thorn in my heart."

"Do you think you will be happy with him? He's not the one you love, Aira. You don't have to be nice to him!

I ended up crying in front of Sean. Now I'm confused what to do. I don't know who to choose.

"Aira, he already knows everything about us." Sean's confession surprised me.

"W-what? What are you talking about, Sean?

Yes he knows, I told him we are in a relationship!

That's not true, if he knew why didn't he even get mad at me? Why didn't he confront me about that?!

I think Sean is lying. If Julius knows that, why does he pretend not to know? The truth is that he even dreams that we can get together!

"I don't know why he didn't tell you. But I'm telling you the truth. I told him everything so that he would know that he would never come back to the Philippines. We are the ones who love each other, aren't we?" Sean came to me and touched my cheek. I accepted that and walked away from him. It was surprised by my action so it stopped.I know you're lying! You're only saying that because you're only thinking about yourself! I think I made a mistake when I gave myself to you. Go away, Sean!

"Why? What's wrong with what I said? Why don't you believe me? I don't think about myself, Aira. I'm thinking of you because I can see that you're having a hard time telling him about us. So I thought I'd tell him to—

"Get out! Did you not hear me, Sean?! Get out!"

Sean shook his head at what I said.

"You don't love me that much. For you, it is nothing to give your personality to a man. I looked at you wrong, Aira! After saying that, he turned his back and completely left in front of me. I was left alone and crying.

If only you knew how difficult my situation is. I don't know where I will be happy. But no matter who I choose among you, my happiness will not be complete. So someone will still get hurt in the end.

Despite my sadness in life, I still managed to go to work. But I'm like a floater and I'm not always on my own so our head supervisor scolds me. No one knows about my problem because I have no one else to talk to. I kept everything to myself until a few weeks ago when Julius proposed to me again. I was pale and dizzy.

"Aira, can we get married now? I want to have my own family, so I hope you agree."

I stared at Julius, but my expression seemed to fade. Until I completely lost consciousness.I DON'T know how many hours I've been lying in a small bed. I passed out because I was probably depressed. I turned around, I was in the clinic. Julius took me there after I passed out.

"Is it okay?" I heard a familiar voice from the door of the clinic. I turned to the other side and my eyes found Julius. Standing there waiting for me to wake up. It approached me so I got up and sat on the bed. It supports me until I can sit and lean my back on two pillows.

"What happened to me?" I asked Julius. But from the looks of it, he couldn't answer me because he didn't know why I lost consciousness.

"I think we need to go to the hospital to find out about your illness. The nurse here told me that you need to be taken to the hospital and get tested as to why you are dizzy. Maybe you're pregnant."

I was surprised by what Julius said. The nervousness in my chest quickened when Julius told me that. I could see the seriousness on his face so I couldn't tell he was just joking.

"W-what?! Na-bringing people? I stammered and nervously asked him again.

It laughed at me. Shaking while holding my hand tightly.

"What kind of question is that, Babe? Why did you react like that? Nothing is happening to us so how can I get you pregnant? That nurse's suspicion was definitely wrong. I don't think the training is good enough so I'm just guessing what I can answer."

I swallowed saliva at what he said. I felt sorry for Julius because of what I had done. I know he won't forgive me if he finds out that something happened between me and Sean. And I may indeed be pregnant with Sean.

"Can we go home now? I just want to rest at home.

"Alright, but first we'll go to the doctor to find out what your real illness is. You need to look,  you are pale and seem to be losing weight. So—

"Don't stop, I don't want to be seen because I'm not sick. I just want to go home and rest there."

Even against Julius's will, he just followed what I wanted. But the truth is that Julius does not want to know the truth that way.

Julius took me home, but left for a while to buy something to eat. A few moments later it came back. Bring food bought outside only.

"Eat before you go to sleep." He said while arranging the food bought on the small table next to the bed. He already fed me in the room because he didn't want me to stand up and I might get dizzy again. I keep getting more and more depressed because of my secrecy, I feel like I'm hurting Julius even more.

"Thank you for taking care of me, forgive me..." I promised.

"Huh? Why did you ask me for forgiveness, you have done nothing wrong with me. It's natural to get tired from work and it's natural to want to rest. Once we get married, you won't have to work because I don't want you to be tired." I teared up even more when he said it. I feel like my heart is being squeezed because I can barely breathe from the words he is saying.
