Unplayed Melody

[35]

   [A/N: Gusto kong sabihin sa lahat ng nagbabasa at magbabasa nitong U.M na I really really did and will do appreciate every single comment, votes, and even just the reads. It may not be the top story, nor the famous one but knowing that there's someone, somewhere in the world that is actually reading my shinenigans, I kinda feel weird in a good way, I guess. I really am thankful for you. I am easy to please, and just the thought of someone reading this, brings gladness in my heart. I'm not after the vote nor the comments, because like what I said, I only express what I feel through my writings. and I know I still have tons of work to do. Everything is new to me. and I hope that even after this story, sana you guys will still read my other stories. and bear with me. From the bottom of my Cerebral cortex, thank you :) ]

CHAPTER 35:

   Marcus Andrew Montgomery

a countdown to how I actually met her.

   up until now, I still find it weird how I met Aqi.

   she never really introduced herself. I just started chasing her.

"You're here again."

I can still remeber her facial reaction that day, when I told her that she's marrying me. Her father ruined everything.

  I was supposed to surprise her, but her reaction gave it away.

     "i don't care, in two months time, you'll be mine."

I brushed off her indifference with my enigmatic smile.

  my charisma that never fails me. Except, when it comes to this girl.

   no charms had ever penetrated the wall she has built around her.

     "You know that I don't do marriage."

she looked at me for a moment, putting down the folder that she's been reading for the longest time.

   I know.

   I know it all.

   she never wanna commit.

   she never wanna settle down.

   a typical first world woman.

     but I wanna tie her down.

   I wanna break that wall of hers.

    but dang wall. It's so strong.

   she's indifferent,

   she's cold.

    she's pretty,

    and she's broken.

    even though she always say that she's alright.

    but as she always say,

   'i have never been whole in the first place.'

and probably that's the reason why.

  the reason why she doesn't wanna hang around, put her defenses down and get married.

     it's gonna be a big factor.

    "i'm going back to the philippines."

I heard a slight hint of emotion when she said that country.

   it always hold a special place in her heart, because I remember, whenever we are talking about that place, all I can see in her eyes are pure bliss.
