Geme's POV

Tristan and I were living together in the same roof until I studied abroad so we have to separate ways for good. He promised me that he will be waiting for the rest of his life just to marry the right woman she ask for and that's me and so I did. I never had a boyfriend too way back then. I only love him as much as I could.
Until this day happened.
I am now taking a long drive just to let him know that I am now here in the Philippines and visit his family as well.

But then ...

Tristan's POV

"What the heck, Sophia! What taking you so long? I was waiting here since 1pm yet you're not still here?"

"Sorry talaga, Tristan. Konting minute nalang talaga."

"For pete's sake! Stop calling me, 'Tristan!'"

...

I am sitting right beside a high class restaurant to meet someone I know since college. She was my ex - girlfriend probably. After 20years of waiting, she's now at the entrance and I waved her just to inform where I seated. We are talking seriously until ...

Geme's POV

*stomach's aching*

"Oh my! I haven't took my lunch yet"

So I parked my car beside in a not-so-high-class restaurant just to eat a lunch. Until I saw someone familiar. I suspiciously looked to her from head to toe as if I am an investigator.

Shoot you!

I am right! It's Sophia! Tristan's ex - girlfriend.
She didn't see me. Thanks to my professional steps.

"Sorry talaga, Tristan. Konting minute nalang talaga." - Sophia

Is it my Tristan she talking to? I don't really know why I am eavesdropping with Sophia and the one she is talking to over the phone.

Should I follow her?

Think ...

Think ...

"Okay. I will."

Then I followed Sophia, for Pete's sake.

...

I followed her until she reached her destination.

It's Japanese restaurant where she got to.

Then someone waved her ... 😱

*blink ... blink*

Is it really my Tristan?

I sat next to the restaurant where they are while seeing them enjoying each other's company.

It hurts. A lot...

Tristan's POV

While talking to Sophia, I smirked.

I see something in my peripheral vision. It's familiar.

I smile towards the girl in front of me because I am sick in her excuses just to win me back. I am tired of her. I ask her to be here because I want her to help me to choose the best engagement ring Geme can ever have. She bought it for me. I handed her the payment and deciding to leave.

Last time, I talked to her mom when she will be here in Philippines. So I knew, in less than a week she's coming.

...

"Geme! Baby, please let me explain everything!"

"Explain? I saw everything, Tristan! How can you make that thing impossible for me to believe?! Huh? You promised me, Tristan!"

And then I kneeled in the middle of the mall for Pete's sake!

"Geme baby, (i held her hands) it's for you. I have an idea that you will be coming back today so I asked Sophia to immediately give me the ring I ask for her to buy abroad. I want you to have the best gift I could ever give to you. Please, understand. I love you in every step of the way. I waited this day for Pete's sake just to marry the girl of every man's dream. Baby, I only want you for this entire life. You're the one that I always dreamed of. Please, marry me?"
...

Tristan's POV

It's impossible to believe that I am now staring to the woman I love. Wearing a beautiful wedding gown that shows how glamorous she is this day.

You don't know how happy I am seeing you walking in the aisle while looking at me emotionally. I am so excited to hold you as if I didn't held you before. I want to run for you just to show my excitement to be with you. I want to pull you to fasten the time but I don't want to ruin this moment. I want you to enjoy every step you are taking being single. I want you to stare to everybody and show them how happy you are being with me. I just want you, that's it.

Geme's POV

Tristan, waits for me patiently while I am walking emotionally in the aisle. I can see to his eyes from this far away that he is happily crying. I want to thank him for everything. I want to thank him in every single day. I want to assure him that he is the only one. I want to be with him until my last breath. And I want to love him as much as I could. Tristan waited me as much as he can. I love him more than anyone else.
