SIX YEARS LATER
ZERON IS LATE AGAIN. Jordan is currently sipping his drink at the club's counter while waiting for his cousin. Kasama niya si Ramsel Folland, an old friend. OLD habits die hard. His cousin never failed to make him wait every time they set an appointment. He have to attend Georgina's welcome party in a few hours! He really have to!
Eight years ago, he went to Paris to follow Georgina. They stayed together in the place where their love was free. But Georgina suddenly wanted out. She still loved him but she couldn't afford to be his mistress. They tried to live normally on separate ways until he found himself dating Georgina's co-model who like him very much. One day, she came and told him to stop womanizing and to make everything right. Iyon ang naging set up nila, she dated another man, he dated another woman but they both continue to get in touch....as friends...but he knew that their feelings with each other will soon be rekindled once they put themselves near the flame.
He stared at his watch again. Zeron is two hours late! Good thing he's with Ramsel Folland, an old friend who just arrived from Canada. The man looked bothered while silently drinking his root beer.
"You okay, man?" He asked, this sight of him looked familiar, he was like this before. Heart broken-hell
"Yeah, thank you..." Tipid nitong sagot.
"Pasensya na at late ang pinsan ko." Wika niya para lang may mapag-usapan man lang sila. Hindi niya gustong mawala si Ramsel Folland bilang business partner nila. His name spoke millions! Damn his cousin for causing this trouble.
"No problem man, I'm not in a hurry." Ramsel answered. Good thing this man was not as demanding as his other target Timothy Prince Azalcon. That freak was a real pain in the ass!
"So how's Lassey?" He asked again. It was too late to realize that he had ask the wrong question. Shit! Saka lang niya naalala na tinatrabaho pala nito ang pakikipaghiwalay sa asawang si Lassey. His wife is currently dating a famous good looking wolf in the business world Netro Gabriel.
"Lassey wanted out..." Malungkot nitong sagot. At least, he was not angry with the question. He seemed willing to open up.
"I'm sorry to hear that bro..." He sipped his root beer. His wife wanted out. Annulment is always an interesting topic for him.
"Annulment was never an option for me." Wika nito na tila nahuhulaan ang nasa isip niya.
He got even more curious.
"What if it's the only thing that can resolve your conflict or they thing that would make her happy?"
"I still believe that proper communication can save marriages." Sagot nito. "Every marriages has its own picture of challenges, it is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Hindi man marahil kayo nag-umpisa sa maayos or nag-umpisa kayong masaya then suddenly you get tired..so it's okay to stop for a while...you learn to back off a little bit...but still you live for the finish line...that can happen with love and forgiveness. Na palagi siyang piliin ng paulit-ulit. It's always about choosing to hold on..to stay until the end."
Napakurap si Jordan. That was such a powerful words or window he heard today.
"Wow ang lalim nun, pare! That hit really hard"
Napangisi ito. "How about your marriage with your ex-fiancee's sister?" He mocked, a rebound for his tackless question.
Ah no! wrong topic! His face hardened at the memory. He didn't answer to that.
"Hey buddies!"
They both looked at the man who just arrived.
