A/N: Warning ⚠ Please please please don't curse me.... spare my life.
AUGUST 12, 2014, Wednesday evening
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you.. because I love you. Can you be my other half, boo?" Jason proposed, kneeling down.. waiting for her answer.
Her heart was racing so fast, and loud, she could actually hear every beat.
She's definitely lost for words, couldn't even find the strength to speak. She was so damn scared. She got into this situation where she couldn't seem to find her way out.
She thought to glance back at her family... along with Jason, they're all anticipating about what her answer was gonna be.
She looked back at the guy in front of her still on his knees...
But damn... all of a sudden, Glaiza's face.. was all she could see inside her head. And again, her heart and her mind began to battle it up.. She was extremely confused, and felt pressured. She began to tear up...
"I'm.. sorry...." Her voice was shaking along with her hands. She felt like she's choking up. "I... I can't... I can't do it. I'm sorry.. Jason. It's just...I can't... accept it. Ayoko nang lokohin ka pa." Tears began to run down her cheeks. She whispered, "Please... forgive me..."
No one even dared to talk. The quartet abruptly stopped playing...
What a very awkward moment. Oh Jesus.
Seconds passed..
Jason decided to stand up.. but with his head facing down, looked extremely hurt and defeated...
"I guess I completely lost you.. for real, this time." Jason did his best not to cry. But it seemed like he already accepted his fate. He knew all along, anyway.
Rhian wanted to run away.. but she couldn't. Kasi naman they're in the middle of the sea.
She run towards her mom, and dad, and Nadine and hubby, wanting to apologize.
"I'm sorry..." Weeping, begging.. she wanted them to understand.
But well, it looked like she couldn't just easily get away with it.. She saw her mom glaring at her.. but in tears.
"Mom, I'm so sorry.. Hindi ko sinasa-.."
Before she could even finish, she unforeseenly received a big slap on the face. Wew. ಥ⌣ಥ
It was one hell of a big... and hard slap from her mom, her cheek turned all red. The pain in her chest got even deeper... more tears poured down. =(
"What the hell is wrong with you, Rhian?! Is it because of that girl?! Ha?! Sabihin mo! Siya ba ang dahilan kung bakit ka nagkakaganyan?! Kaya sinasaktan mo lahat ng nagmamahal sayo dahil sa babaeng yon?!" Mommy Clara burst all her anger out.
Rhian couldn't answer. She just continued crying..
"Clara, Clara. Cool down. Please. Get a hold of yourself." Daddy Gareth persuaded his ex-wife to get back inside the yacht. "Cmon, relax. I'm sure our baby girl didn't mean to hurt anyone." He looked at Nadine to tell her to take care of Rhian while they're out of sight.
Nadine followed his dad's order. She looked at her younger sister, worried and confused at the same time.

AUGUST 12, Wednesday evening, 8:32 PM
The whole family checked in to a hotel in Subic that night, but Jason decided to go home.. because of well, his heartbreak. Poor Jason.. it's about time... after all.
