Love me or Not

Chapter 2

Pain

It was my wedding day, the most awaited day of my life. I never thought that I'll be wed at the age of 20, I thought I'll be out there exploring and traveling the world and conquering the business industry cause that's what I picture in my mind but now I want to do it with the love of my life I want him in every journey I'll take from now on.

Emilio Montemayor is an unexpected event in my life, everything in my life is already planned, I'm an independent woman but it gives me a contentment when I follow my parents' wishes so I also let them choose who will be my husband but I met Emil and it was a typical whirlwind summer romance that developed into something beautiful. I stop my daydreaming when our car arrived at the church, my heart started to beat fast I'm nervous my mother is holding my hand crying while my father is supporting her

Why do you have to grow so fast huh Lavi, my heart aches every time I'm thinking that Emilio is taking my baby away from me

Lucianna I thought we are already through this? . . . What I don't have a right to cry for my baby anymore? sobs

That's not what I'm saying it's just that I'm worried because you've been crying since yesterday sigh we should have really had two kids so you won't be like this . . .hugs my mother. . . shut up Motenegro you're not helping. . .

Parents I love you okay and I'm still your daughter and Emil will be your son don't you want a son mom? Stop crying na okay?

My parents are really sweet after all those years they been together the romance and sweetness between them didn't fade away and it just become stronger that is why I'm, so thankful that I found Emil cause I never thought I'll be able to find love.

After 2 minutes the wedding planner come rushing down to my mother and father I can see my parent's expression changes from shock to angry to worried and then everyone that plan this wedding can't stay still

What's happening? Mom? Dad? Alyssa?

Ija, it seems that they cannot contact Emil, also his parents haven't arrived yet my mother expression is really worried while my father is clenching his jaw

What? The ceremony will start in 5 minutes they're not yet here? I looked at Alisson why you didn't tell me? sighs Whatever nga, maybe they got an emergency or something I'll try contacting him its not yet time pa naman

After an hour of waiting and trying to contact him, Emil Montenegro didn't show up, my wedding has been canceled and I can see the pity and sympathy of the people, my family was humiliated. But I keep straight face and try to be strong and not to shed a single tear. When everything sinks in, I told everyone to just leave me here for another one hour my friends and my parents didn't want to leave me here but I assured them that I'll be okay and just wanted to be alone, my mother is crying and insisting to stay here with me but my father talked to her, so I was left alone in front the church waiting hoping he will show up when everyone is not here anymore he will come to me and explained to me why did he not show up? Did he have a cold feet? Or is he not yet ready I was patiently waiting for him and hoping that he's out there watching me and gaining confidence to face me and if he will I will forgive him and give him another chance but until the light consumed by the dark I didn't see his face not even his shadow.

I was furious and beyond angry how dare he do this to me? He's such a jerk, my heart is aching and finally my tears start to pour blurring my vision, perhaps this is what they call heartache and sakit pala parang sinasakal ang puso mo, it's like you just want to remove your heart and throw it away,

Nag eemote ako when suddenly my phone beep, hope rise within me, I hurriedly take my phone but as I see Alia's number on the registered hopes becomes disappointment so I cancelled the call, hayop ka Montemayor what have you done to me? This is frustrating so I started to shout GAGO! JERK!!! MAG BABAYAD KA DIN!!! I didn't care when people passes by looked at me I'm already a mess gusto kong mag wala my phone beep again this time it was Lauren as much as I want to be alone I don't want them to worry and pity me so I dried my tears and answer the call but-

I didn't know that this phone call is biggest shocked of my life more that this stupid wedding and broken love. One phone call and everything in my life changes.

He ... Hello Lauren? making my voice stable is hard when your experiencing a heartache

Lavi, where are you? pupuntahan kita I can hear people in the background rushing

Lau can you just let me be for now I just really want to be alone

Sobs kaso Lavi sila tita sobs

They've been shot and they didn't make it, they're dead L and my world stops
