Lose With You

Special Chapter: TFV

SPECIAL CHAPTER

Terrence Flynn Valencia

You know what's beautifully tragic about life? You have the chance to love. Even though life hasn't been the nicest when it comes to twisted stories. Fate plays along, as always.

People always blame love, because they can't blame the person who really gave them the real pain. Love was way too easy to blame with, but with the person? Nah, it's no fun.

I met a lady, the most beautiful among ladies who entered my life. She's way too perfect, and honestly, she's out of my league. I saw her in magazines, billboards, televisions, and in the internet.

I've known her to be the most wise businesswoman and the most rich elite in Asia. She's almost near to perfect.

Elise Raine Bartolome Iñiguez, the heiress of the Iñiguez and Bartolome Clan. But right after of her death, I never been thinking this deep when she ran away in the engagement party which was cancelled. I was there.

I was one of the guests there, and for a moment I know she's really beautiful in person. Way more beautiful than on screens. She's loved by everyone, and every guy's dream.

To be honest, I was kinda had a crush on her too. Vince Chavez is one hella lucky guy that time. I thought.

After two years, I can't believe that she's really alive. But somehow, I felt great. I'm happy that she's back and I know for some reason, I won't be thinking about her again.

She doesn't barely know me.

I had important things to do.

Times flies fast, so much. I can't even barely realized that another year ended. I stopped going to bars and drinking with friends. There's nothing special about my days lately. I go to work, then go home after that. And the cycle goes on.

It's so boring. To be an adult and to live life with yearning for the years.

Now, meeting her, no.

Loving her was the least thing I expected.

January 2023

She's still beautiful. As I looked at her from afar, she's still the lady I've been yearning for. Sinunod ko pa rin ang hiling niya, at alam naming pareho na.. mangyayari ito.

I wore the brown apron and put my cap on as I was walking towards her table holding a tray. Yumuko ako ng kakaunti para makita ang mukha niya.

"Ma'am, here's your f-frappucino." I stuttered. Fvck, I can't believe Vince got me through this plan!

"I know you miss her, man." tinapik niya ako at uminom sa kanyang hawak-hawak na strawberry milk drink box. Nanatili akong tahimik.

"Gusto niya nito."

"Gusto mo ba nito?" then it hit me, no.

"I have a plan." Dugtong niya pa. He sat in my swivel chair and grabbed my phone. His smile was never the good idea.

"And you'll thank me after this." The monkey said while amused.

"First day?" tanong niya. Ang ganda niya pa rin. Napalunok ako at tumango. Narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa.

She still have the same laugh when I was with her. It's music to my ears and a lullaby to my heart.

"You'll be okay." Maybe.
