Fall In Love With Me (COMPLETED)--currently on editing

Chapter 49

***Maya's POV***

Tinawagan ko si Mama dahil ngayon ang alis ko papuntang Paris. Mahigit dalawang lingo na rin itong wala sa bahay. Araw-araw naman siyang nagtitext at nangangamusta. Masaya daw siya pero hindi siya nagkukwento ng detalye. Panatag naman ang loob ko hangat nasisiguro kong nasa maayos siyang kalagayan.

Noong sinabi ko kay Mama na lumipat na ako ng trabaho ay hindi ito tumutol. Masaya daw siyang maaabot ko na rin ang mga dati kong pangarap noon... noong nabubuhay pa si Papa. At kampante naman daw siya dahil kasama ko si Krishia.

Lumipad na ang eroplanong sinasakyan namin ni Beshy at ni Mamang. Eto ang first time ko na makakapunta sa ibang bansa at sa Paris pa mismo. Somehow umaasa akong makakalimutan ko na rin ang lungkot na nararamdaman ko. Kailangan ko ng mag-move-on. Hindi siya ang lalaki para sa akin.... I-ienjoy ko na lamang ang buhay ko sa pagtatrabaho.

Sa isang hotel kami tumuloy nila Mamang. Kailangan naming magprepare dahil ang unang sabak namin ay hindi basta photo shoot lang kung hindi isang fashion show.

Ang MEGA magazine ay nakikipag partner sa mga well known brands like Victoria Secret, Chanel, Gucci, Hermes at iba pa.....

We will first join the Paris Fashion Week created by Chanel. Ito yung Chanel Fall 2018. Nakakamangha ang mga international models na makakasama namin dahil sa mga magazines at tv ko lang sila nakikita. Ilan sa kanila ay sina Kaia Gerber, Grace Elizabeth, Adwoa Aboah, Binx Walto and many more. Overwhelming sa pakiramdam dahil ito na yata ang simula ng katuparan ng matagal ko ng pangarap sa buhay. 

We'll be wearing on the runway their collections of elongated evening gloves, knee-length scarves, and their requisite tweeds.

Successful ang naging fashion show ng Chanel. Nakipagsabayan kami ni Beshy sa mga batikang international models. And as expected, very proud sa amin si Mamang kaya naisipan niyang ipasyal kami sa well-known na Eiffel Tower sa Champ de Mars, nang sumapit ang weekend.

Kumain kami sa isang restaurant sa loob mismo nito, I think sa first floor ito at kinalaunan ay sumakay kami ng elevator papunta sa last platform ng upper level, ang tinatawag nilang observation deck, kung saan kita ang magandang view sa paligid ng tower...

We also took a walk sa buong siyudad. The city is so charming... with a lot of couple passing...this is why maybe it's called the City of Love.. ironic to mine and Krishia's status at the moment..... Singles in the city of love....

I can see sadness on Beshy's face... Pareho kami ng nararamdaman. Bestfriend ko nga ito... Pero nakita kong pumatak ang luha niya..

"Lam mo ba Beshy? Dito nagpropose sa akin si Niel.... sa lugar na ito mismo.."  kaya naman pala.

Niyakap ko na lang ng mahigpit si Beshy... Di ko na rin naman alam kung ano pang pwede kong ipang-comfort sa kanya dahil ganon din ang nararamdaman ko... I feel so incomplete...

Nagtagal pa kami ng mahigit isang lingo sa London para sa iba't-ibang photo shoots.

Si Mamang ay puno talaga ng sorpresa. Ang susunod naman daw naming destinasyon ay sa New York kung saan isasali din kami sa isang fashion show ng Gucci. Pero kailangang makauwi muna kami ng Pilipinas dahil kailangan pa ding ayusin muna ang aming mga papeles katulad ng visa at passport.

***Edward's POV***

I'm here in Starbucks'... sipping my morning coffee... thinking of everything that happened...

For the past weeks, Uncle has finally recovered from his sickness. He can now walk around the house but still being supported by Tita Lorena...

For some reason, I still don't have the prowess to talk to her... I always feel the awkwardness between us whenever we are in the same area. She just focuses on Uncle. She's taking care of him almost 24/7 which was a big factor of his fast recovery.

I haven't heard anything about her daughter as well. Even Tito Rick didn't talk about Maya...

I consumed almost half of the Caffe Americano when I glanced at the magazine on one of the shelves. It's a MEGA Magazine. My eyes caught the photo of a woman in it's cover... I was astonished upon recognizing her face....

It's Maya on the cover! .....and she's beautiful as ever.

So she's with MEGA? with Krishia?

I dialed Krishia's number just to confirm with her... but her phone just kept on ringing.

I don't know what came in me as my feet brought me to one of the nearest bookstore and asked for a copy of the said magazine... Luckily there's one left and I immediately paid for it.

I brought it in my office with me... I keep on staring at her photo without realizing that Mica caught me doing so..

"Sir, that's Maya right? OMG! Ang ganda niya!" she exclaimed loudly.

"Can I borrow it Sir? Please?"

"Alright, just give it back to me later."

She was still in awe with Maya's picture while standing behind the door when someone knocked and came in..

"Hi Mica! What's that?"

"Sir! Sir! OMG! Si Maya Sir!"

"Maya? Nasaan?" Tito Rick was more  curious than me..

"Hala ang anak ko ang ganda! Tsk! So she finally followed her dream." Tito Rick as he gave me that meaningful look.

"Ang ganda na niya Sir di ba? Sabi ko na nga ba't pang-international model talaga itong si Maya eh.."

"Yeah, she's really beautiful and I'm so happy for her.." he replied to Mica.

It felt a little weird when Tito gave me an accusing look. He might be thinking that Maya left the company because of me. Well, maybe... I've been harsh on her...

I somehow believed Denise about the money thing... but Maya's situation right now is saying otherwise.... She's really different and she's proving it.... She can stand on her own and she's even making her name in the modelling industry.

I was somehow blinded by my experiences in the past. I was really wrong of thinking of her that way....

How can I redeem myself? Would she forgive me? Nahhh. I don't think so...

I felt shame of myself... on what I have done to her..
