CHAPTER 05.
Zinnia's POV
It's been 5 months since we started pretending. I'm falling all the time, and he's not going to catch me.
Last Sunday, I went to check my heart. The doctor said I was not sick and asked when I felt it. I told him that when I was with Ivan, my heart beat fast. And the doctor just laughed. The doctor stopped laughing, but he was still smiling. Why is he laughing at me? I feel insulted.
You know what the doctor said?
I am in love, but I am in love? In love with Ivan? That seems wrong.
And today I realized, despite my denial for the past few days, that I am truly in love with him. I am really in love when I am thinking about it.
And today, I'm going to stop this pretending.
We are going to meet in a cafe shop where the pretending is going to start.
Why is he late? I am here at the coffee shop waiting for him. He is 15 minutes late. Ang usapan namin 9 pm, it's already 9:15 pm. Arghhhh.
"Sorry, I am late," he apologized. My heart is acting strangely again.
"You are 15 minutes late, Ivan," I told him.
"Sorry, we had a meeting. By the way, what will you tell me? " He was always late when we planned to meet.
"Let's..." Should I stop it? Or not? Arghhh. My heart tells me to keep going because you love him, and my brain tells me to stop this because he isn't going to catch you. Arghhh. Ano ba? should I stop it? Or not?
"let's?"
"let's..."
Heart: Don't end it, you love him. You know,
End it, brain. He has a fiancée.
Even so, his fiancee didn't appear at all. So take the chance.
Brain: Remember, he has a fiancée. He will leave and doesn't care about your feelings for him.
"Let's... eat"
"That's it."
"Yes, we have been pretending for 5 months, and I want you to repay the food."
"Whatever," I said with a smile, and he avoided.
"So, let's go to a restaurant." So far, so good. In just one month, I'm going to end this.
Ivan's pov
When I went to the cafe, I was told that Zin was there. At 9:10 a.m., we have a meeting, and I am aware that I will be unable to attend.
"Sorry, I am late" sabi ko kay zin
"You are 15 minutes late, Ivan." diba binilang niya pa yong ilang minuto akong late.
"Sorry, we had a meeting. By the way, anong ang sasabihin mo saakin? " I told you so.
"Let's..." She didn't continue as if someone was arguing with her.
I repeated to her, "Let's."
"Let's..." she said again when she was done, thinking she continued, "Let's... eat."
"That's it." I believe it was not the intention.
"Yes, we have been pretending for five months, and I want you to repay the food." I hate it when she tells me that we are pretending.
"Whatever." She smiles at me, and I think my face is red, so I look away.
"So, let's go to a restaurant." So we went out to the cafe shop.
