Star Crossed

Chapter 23

3 years after

"Mam, some VIPs reserved a table for five." Inform saakin ng aking secretary,

Hindi na bago saakin iyon kaya naman tumango nalang ako at sinenyasan na lumabas.

Sumandal ako sa upuan at napahawak sa sintido dahil sa sakit ng ulo,

ugh, bakit ba kasi napaka daming paperworks!

I took of my contact lenses and put on my glasses instead, I checked the papers that was given by my secretary and my lips rose up as I saw a familiar name.

Jacob Xayvion Gomez.

It's been a while since I last saw Jax.

After I recovered kasi, Itinuloy ko na agad ang studies ko without hesitation. Back on the tracks just like before, after I graduate, I strived hard to succeed and now I own a restaurant. There are already branches worldwide kaya naman hirap rin ako minsan sa pag manage.

I always check the reservation lists dahil almost mga importanteng tao lang naman ang nagpapa reserve, then I decide which branch to go to and be the chef. Hindi naman kasi pedeng palipat lipat ako in one day diba?

I sighed out of stress and fix my things up to go home, masyado nang pagod ang utak ko. I need to rest.

While I was driving and the traffic lights turned red, as I stopped I saw a familiar man walked in the pedestrian lane. He was wearing a suit with a briefcase on his hands while he was busily talking with someone to his phone.

Napakunot ako ng noo and tried to look at him more clearly but then the traffic sign turned green and the drivers behind me are signaling me to go.

Napapikit ako ng mariin at pinilig ang ulo ko bago tuluyang mag drive paalis.

As I got home, agad naman akong sinalubong ni Marseille and Malih, my doggies who's been around me for around 2 years already. I bought them after I graduate. I roamed my eyes in my home and I smiled painfully when it seemed... empty.

I bought a house a year ago, the designs are astonishing dahil si Kyn ang kinuha kong Archi.

It seemed empty dahil ako lang naman ang nakatira dito, It may be big pero it always seemed sad. I got a house, a restaurant, a goddamn company! I'm being successful in life, isa nalang ang kulang.

A family....

With Raz,

It's been 3 years... 3 years since he left me without a word.

Pumunta naman ako sa balcony and stared at the night sky, napahawak ako sa necklace na suot suot ko na ibinigay niya saakin noon.

A tear fell down when I remember the moments that I'm with him,

"Wherever you are, I hope you're happy and Safe, my star." I whispered before looking away.
