A Journey Through Love and Loss

Memory Loss

Avery's POV

As our life began to return to normal, Tyler and I found ourselves free from the usual demands of school. Our OJT was finally completed at wala na kaming pasok sa school. May mga few remaining requirements na lang kami to fulfill and after nun ay graduation na namin in two weeks.

We could finally catch our breath and enjoy some well-deserved downtime.

I sat in our bedroom, nasa harapan ko ang malaking suitcase na tinuro sa akin ni Tyler kagabi. Dito nakalagay yung mga pasalubong niya sa akin at ngayon ko pa lang ito naisipan buksan.

Sumilip pa ako sa balcony and I could hear the joyful sounds of Tyrone splashing in the pool, buhat buhat siya ni Tyler, their laughter mingling with the voices of Mark, Caleb, and Lucas as they played long tennis nearby.

As I began to unpack the suitcase, a knock on the door was quickly followed by Ruth entering the room. "What's that?" Ruth asked, curiosity evident in her voice.

"A gifts from Tyler," I replied, a smile playing on my lips.

Ruth grinned mischievously. "Wow, I didn't know Tyler could be this sweet. What did he buy?"

I laughed. "Let's see."

Tinulungan naman niya ako buksan yung malaking suitcase and to my surprised it's a lot of an assortment of clothing, each item carefully chosen. Mukhang mamahalin pa ang mga ito. Bumabawi ba siya dahil ilang linggo din kami di nag-usap nung nasa france siya?

My smile grew wider as I pulled out the dresses, skirts, and pants.

"These are really nice," Ruth remarked, admiring the stylish outfits.

But what caught our attention the most were the swimsuits. Various styles and colors filled the suitcase, each more fashionable than the last.

Natawa naman ng malakas si Ruth ng tingnan niya isa isa yun. "Did Tyler really choose these? I can't imagine!"

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I can't believe Tyler bought you something like this. But he have taste, huh."

Pati ako di makapaniwala na maiisip niya na bilhan ako ng ganito. Bigla ko naman naalala na nakita na niya ang katawan ko na nakaunder wear lang nung christmas eve.

Yun ba dahilan kaya niya ako binilhan ng mga swimsuits at two piece kasi nakita na niya yung katawan ko at alam na niya yung mga style na babagay sa akin?

Napailing na lang ako sa mga naisip ko.

"Does Tyler know what Analea told you?" she asked.

I shook my head. "No. Besides, he wouldn't believe it. He trusts Analea's lies more."

"What the heck. Analea really is something else. If she tries to do anything bad to you, I'll really shave her head," Ruth said angrily.

I smiled at her. "Actually, we met yesterday at a business party. As usual, she was being annoying."

"Why isn't Tyler do anything? Isn't it clear that they broke up before you got married? What is Analea still after?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Tyler and I are okay now. I don't want us to argue again because of Analea," I just said.

Ruth helped me arrange Tyler's gifts in our walk-in closet, and after that we went downstairs. Nakita kong may bagong bulaklak yung vase sa living room kaya napangiti ako.

We decided to join the others outside. The scene was lively as Lucas, Mark, and Caleb were engrossed in a friendly game of long tennis, their playful banter filling the air.
