Marlon worked hard to regain my trust and love. He sent flowers to me daily alongside love notes. Also he called me daily and showered me with gifts regularly. At first I ignored him but his persistence wavered my stubbornness slowly. I started to accept his flowers and love notes, his calls and gifts.
Every night we stayed on the phone for long hours. We spoke of the past and our future moving forward. I felt I didn't have it in me to forgive him but I realized deep down I was still in love with him. I was just angry that he didn't fight for us and jealous that he chose Alicia over me.
His family and friends disowned him from the time he left Alicia at the altar for me. Sometimes, I got the feeling that he missed them and I understood. I even felt guilty because I saw myself as the cause of this. But this time around I see that he was willing to fight for us. He claimed I was his happiness and peace. They disowned him to the point of taking back his inheritance. Because of this he was jobless and was trying to seek a way to open his own architecture firm.
Even though, I've forgiven Marlon, my mom haven't forgiven him. When he comes over sometimes to pick me up for us to hang out my mom wouldn't even greet him. When he greeted her she didn't answer. I understood my mom's reaction to him but sometimes I feel she was being harsh. I felt bad for him sometimes.
