I am now a successful mayor with my own businesses and feel satisfied with my life. Despite this, I still miss Risa. It has been a decade since we went our separate ways, and I have not had any contact with her since then. Honestly, I still haven't gotten over her. I really want to be with her again because she's always on my mind. I miss her presence and wish she was here with me.
"Ma'am?" One of my staff knocked.
"Come in." I said.
"Ma'am, may invitation po na pinabibigay sainyo." My staff gave me an envelope.
"Okay, thank you. You may leave now." I said while my eyes focused on laptop.
After finishing my work, I opened the envelope my staff gave me and found an invitation inside. I was taken aback to see that I had been invited to a Senate hearing. I felt confused and couldn't grasp the situation, completely shocked.
May 22, 2024
I couldn't stay still after waking up at 7:30 in the morning. I felt nervous, wondering what they will do to me at the Senate hearing.
Time skip.
I am currently at a senate hearing with my staff and lawyers. I have taken my seat and am waiting for the arrival of other senators. I am feeling restless and nervous, unsure of what I am feeling.
Risa POV
I arrived late at the Senate hearing because I had some things to take care of and there was traffic. I sat down in my chair, not knowing who we were going to investigate. I didn't look around, I checked my phone first. After a while, the Senate hearing began, and I saw this woman who looked familiar. This can't be happening, is she my ex girlfriend who was supposed to be my soon-to-be wife? I can't believe it, is it really her? or just someone who looks like her? I can't see her clearly because we are far apart. Is that really her? All of a sudden, memories flooded back of the happy years we spent together, creating memories and traveling.
Alice POV
As the hearing started, I returned my cellphone to my bag and began observing the Senators present. One particular Senator caught my eye, although I couldn't see her name from where I was seated. We were far apart, but I couldn't help but wonder if she was my ex-girlfriend. Is she Risa?
"Saan po ang bahay ninyo noong ipinanganak kayo?" She started to asked me a question.
"Your honor, hindi ko na po alam." I said I was unable to comprehend anything.
"Saang homeschool provider naka-connect ang teacher ninyo?" She asked me again, However, right now I am feeling very anxious.
"Your honor hindi ko pa maalala po yung pangalan." She is starting to doubt my response.
After answering some questions, the Senate hearing concluded. I left ahead of my lawyers and staff, feeling the need to use the restroom. Upon exiting, I walked through the hallway leading out of the Senate hearing. Unable to hold back my tears, I accidentally bumped into a woman.
"S-sorry.." I said while sobbing.
"Ms. Alice, it has been a while. It is good to see you once more."
"H-huh?" I gradually looked at her and saw Risa staring at me with tears in her eyes.
"Nice to meet you, again." She smiled at me while saying that, and I can clearly see tears in her eyes.
"R-risa" I said while trembling, I couldn't restrain myself and embraced her.
"Congratulations on your current success.... You have achieved the goal you have been striving for. Keep up the good work and continue on this path of success." She hugged me tightly and rubbed my back.
"God... r-ris... i miss you so much.." I said while sobbing loudly on her shoulder.
"I miss you more, my love..."
"I apologize for leaving you, as I chose to focus on my opportunities rather than our relationship." I said while crying loudly.
"Don't worry, it wasn't your fault. I'm glad that you've moved on from that difficult time. I'm proud of you." She said while rubbing my back, I let go of our embrace and gaze at her. She could have been my wife by now if I hadn't chosen to focus on my opportunities over our relationship in the past.
"I am also proud of you for being successful." I said while smiling.
"I am incredibly proud of you." She said while caressing my cheeks
"R-ris.. Now that we have both achieved success, is it possible for us to rekindle our relationship? I want to be with you once more." I understand that this may seem impossible, but I am willing to take the risk.
"I-i'm sorry... we can't be together anymore.." Her tears started streaming down her face.
"W-why not give me a chance to correct my past mistakes? I am capable of fixing them..." I said while sobbing.
"I'm sorry.... I'm already married... We already have children, I love her, I love her very much, especially our children." I felt hurt upon hearing her words because we can no longer be together.
"Alice, it's time for you to move on. I won't be coming back. I hope you find a woman who can truly love you. Sana mahigitan niya ang pagmamahal na ipinaramdam ko sayo." She said while sobbing.
"But... I still love you.."
"Please let me go." She wiped away her tears and walked out, leaving me standing in the hallway, crying.
I hope there are still shores waiting for each step I take where rest is sought after. Meeting her was pleasant, even if it was brief. I still love her dearly and have loved her. Perhaps our love story ends here. Lord, please guide her, her wife, and their children. What if I were in that situation? What if I didn't prioritize my opportunities to settle down, would we still be together now?
Risa POV
The right person at the wrong time, I hope her future partner will surpass the love and care I showed her when we were together. I am happy now in my current relationship. I love my wife and children. We are together genuinely, creating memories that I wouldn't trade for anything. It's good to see her again. I hope she can move on soon. I know it's difficult, but she can do it.
Sana kung pwede na, pwede pa...
