Le Raison d' etre (Short Story)

Untitled Part 2

Zach

I am a man full of dreams especially to be with the woman I love, she was my life. Her name is JaxianeLare Buenaventura she is smart, talented she's the prima donna of an opera; she's clumsy and fun to be with. Her beauty was Recherché. She was my raison d'être. There was never a dull moment when I am with her. I am Zach Reid Lopez a bastard, hump and dump kind of guy and a Casanova, but when I met her I changed. I never knew how it started but I was happy that she came into my life.

It was our graduation day, the most awaited day for both of us, to graduate as Cum laude especially with the love of your life is surely a dream come true. Both of us were able to survive the hardships we encountered in college, we are proud to say that we are strong enough to beat all those obstacles together. Our families supported us and now they are proud of us. On this day everything will change as we continue our journey towards our future. "Jax can I talk to you, about us?" she replied "Sure!" Her parents decided that we should celebrate together and so we did. The party went well many of our friends came to our celebration and that was the cue for me to confess something. I stood in front of all and I announced that I would like to end our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, everyone was shocked. She was about to cry when I continued my words, "Jax please don't cry let me finish," She hushed and I continued "Everyone, tonight I will finally ask for her hand in marriage" everyone was shocked except for our parents since they knew about my plan. "I, Zach Reid Abellano fulfill my promise to Jaxine Lare Ynarez to protect her with all my heart to take care of her and to love her unconditionally with all my heart, mind and soul" Everyone gasp as I knelled on one knee. "Jax, forever is a long time, would you mind spending it by my side? Will you marry me?" That was the most terrifying minutes of my life as I waited for her to answer. After a deep breath she answered "Yes Zach I will marry you!" It was ecstatic! I can't even utter a word when she said yes. She was the only person I see that night.

A month after our engagement night, we planned for our wedding. We hired a wedding planner for us not to encounter difficulties and I agreed to whatever she wanted to have. I just can't disagree because her Ideas were astonishing but for our attire we hired a famous couturier in the town. We spent most of our time together; we traveled all over the country for us to relax. The wedding was scheduled in 6 months because according to her she wanted that our wedding will be on our 7th anniversary.

The wedding was near, we were so excited and we can't wait for it to happen soon. It was the day before our wedding when I received a message from her mom that she was gone. My whole world stopped, my heart was shattered into pieces and nothing can surpass the pain that I felt when she left. Her mom gave me a letter which was found in her drawer. It was addressed to me.

Dear Zach,

I love you so much, I am sorry if I am going to leave you on the day before our wedding. You proved a lot to me but something came up. I want to fix myself before I am going to marry you. I need space for us. Everything was perfect but I just can't marry you now. You know that I love you, but I want time for myself. I am sorry if I ruined our wedding but this is for the best. I hope that you'll wait for me. I'll come back soon. I am sorry if I left you without a reason you will know it soon as I come back.

I love you.

Love,

Jax

I crumpled the letter. I don't know if I'm going to get angry with her for leaving me without any reason at all. I isolated myself from people which remind me of her. I talked to her chauffer if where did he dropped Jax and he told me that it was on a restaurant. She didn't bring anything according to him and I tried to contact her but she was out of reach. I gave up contacting her.
