Kisses of Flames

Chapter 51

If people think that Emman and Rolf's relationship became as smooth sailing as a ship running in a glass of unmoving water, they are clearly wrong. They nearly broke up multiple times over the years.

Their first big fight happened when Emman's supposed six months internship lasted for a year. Asang-asa kasi si Rolf na sabay silang uuwi ng Pilipinas ng kasintahan kaya nag stay sya sa France para hintayin itong matapos ang six months. Kaso the company gave her an offer she couldn't refuse.

The company offered to pay for a six months Civil Engineering crash course in a popular University in France if she continue on a one year internship programme. Emman's exceptional skills in building plan and designs is something the company could not let go so they wanted to keep her.

Rolf who was in Paris waiting for Emman to complete the first six months internship got pissed when he found out she wont be coming home with him. So they had their first major fight, they ended up screaming at each other. Rolf badly disappointed and heavily frustrated. Emman in a puddle of tears.

Of course the tears and the hiccups is something Rolf could not take. Hindi makaya ng puso nya na makitang luhaan si Emman at marinig ang impit na mga iyak nito. He ended up gathering her in his arms, while he was whispering how sorry he was for making her cry gayong si Emman naman ang may kasalanan.

Before her then, one year internship programme was over, Emman went home to the Philippines only to attend her graduation where she got the highest honor as everyone already expected. Congressman Braganza threw the best graduation bash attended by friends and family.

Rolf wasn't there dahil nasa barko sya, but he was hoping na pag baba nya ay dadatnan nya sa Pilipinas ang kasintahan but instead, she flew back to Paris dahil hindi na naman matanggihan ang panibagong offer ng kumpanya. This time they will pay for her French civil engineering degree, which would last a year dahil tapos na man na sya sa Pilipinas at na cross credit iyon sa university sa France.

Emman couldn't say no to it, at tinanggap nito ang alok without talking to Rolf. She ended up studying and working at the same time. Rolf was so pissed when he found out, and for the first time he walked out on her at hindi umuwi ng two days. When he finally went home to her Paris apartment, Emman looked like she's been wrecked. Na mumugto ang mga mata at tinatrangkaso.

Kung noong una ay hindi nya ito matiis, this time ay lalo na. Parang dinurog ang puso nya sa habag. He couldn't help it, he gathered her in his arms and he nursed her back to health kahit nandon naman ang yaya nito na syang dapat nag aasekaso sa dalaga. When she was well enough they ended having the best make up sex ever.

Afterwards Rolf went home to the Philippines just to collect Gelo and flew back to Paris, luckily ay nataong walang pasok. He decided to stay and signed another contract from the same company with the same route so he could still see Emman from time to time and they could spend time together.

That year ay halos hindi sya umuwi ng Pilipinas, mas ginugol nya ang panahon nya sa Paris kasama ng kasintahan. When she took her Philippine licensure exams ay nataon na naka bakasyon sya kaya dalawa silang umuwi. Emman stayed for two weeks dahil dumalo pa ito sa kasal nina Megan at Louie where they were the maid of honor and the best man.

That two weeks was spent going back in forth between Manila and Pangasinan at hindi naman mukhang bakasyon dahil mas nakaka pagod. At the end of that two weeks ay nag away silang magkasintahan dahil inaaya nya na rin itong pakasal pero she said she's not yet ready. She flew to Paris na magka away sila.

Pero as usual hindi nya matiis ang kasintahan, after one week ay sinundan nya ito ulit sa Paris. He loved her too much to just give her up, so after a night and a full day of hot make up sex ay parang wala na uling nangyari. They compromised that she will have the French licensure exams and they will get married pumasa man ito doon o hindi.
