Les Secrets De Notre Dame - (The Secrets of Notre Dame)

Tulala pa din si Athena after talking to Ken Muhlach and hearing his revelations regarding how he and Albert met two years ago.

Albert lied to her, maybe lied is a heavy accusation but he didn't told her the truth either.

He could've told her that he will go to Nice that night. They have heard about that accident pero never nila naisip that he's one of the passenger.

His name was not listed. They checked and there was none and it was because he traded a basket of fruit for a bus ticket to Nice with Ken.

If they only knew, matagal na sana niyang natagpuan ito.

Wala siyang ganang bumalik sa apartment ni Albert, she's not in the mood to see William tonight.

She's not even sure if she still wanted to be with William. They doesn't make sense. Everything doesn't make sense at all.

She pulled out Albert's old clothes from the closet and wore it to sleep. The clothes smelled like him. She miss him so much but tonight, her tears seems to dry. Wala na siyang maiiyak.

She left a message at the hotel to tell William that she'll return tomorrow. He might get suspicious of what she's doing and she doesn't want that.

She isn't ready to tell him her secrets yet, or she might not be ready ever.

"Wow, mahal! This church is really exquisite!" Athena exclaimed as she takes one shot after another at the beautiful Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.

The architectural design is just breathtaking.

"Really? Are you changing your mind now in getting married under the Eiffel tower?" Albert teased her.

He wanted them to marry in a church but she was against it. It has always been her dream to get married under the Eiffel Tower.

It's the biggest symbol of love in the city of love. What's more perfect?

She faced her fiancè and clings to his neck.

"No! It's still Eiffel tower mahal!" She told him and drops a chaste kiss on his lips. He smiled and kissed her lips once more.

"As you wish!" He said and her smile grew wider.

He quotes her favorite movie line from the movie "The Princess Bride."

"I love you too!"

As you wish actually meant "I love you." in the movie and she had persuaded Albert a month ago to watch it with her. He developed this habit of telling her "As you wish" whenever she wanted something.

It's like telling her that he's willing to do anything she asked him to.

Athena woke-up feeling loved. It has been a long time since she dreamt of that memory with Albert.

Her heart tightened. She can still feel it in her heart, the overwhelming love she have for her Albert and William's existence in her life is confusing her.

She checked her phone to see the time. It's already 6AM. She slept well but her mind's in ramble.

She stands-up and prepared herself to go back to the hotel. She needs to face William today and for some reasons, she's nervous.

When Athena arrived, William is already awake.

"Good morning!" He greeted her with a smile and that surprised her that he isn't asking or demanding her about her whereabouts.
