Parted Ways

PROLOGUE

Wearing my Chanel black velvet gown, black designer bag and a black killer stilettos with some DK accessories, I am all set.

I walked through the door as I heard the door bell rang.

There I saw a beautiful man, wearing his black tux, his hair properly made and everything of him screams perfection. What caught me off guard was his hand holding a cute bouquet of white tulips. I felt some tears trying to escape the side of my eyes, I suddenly remembered how that same flower made me let go of someone I have dearly loved years ago.

"Good evening, my beautiful amore." even his voice sounded perfect, God what did I just do to have this man? Knowing that he's mine, it feels surreal.

I immediately turned my gaze at the other side just to simply erase the unshed tears in my eyes.

"Amore." I can't find the words to say.

"Why what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Do you still want to go?"

"I love you, so much. I'm so blessed to have you. Thank you for coming into my life." I said as the tears started to flow through my cheeks.

Lumapit siya at binigyan ako ng mahigpit na yakap. He caressed my cheeks and started to rub off my overflowing tears.

"Hey, you ruined your make up. Stop crying. Because when you do, I'm hurting more than you. Hush amore, I'm the blessed one here. Having you as my wife, the mother of my child and the love of my life." he said and planted a kiss on top of my head.

"I'm sorry for being emotional, I just missed you." I said and finally got the bouquet out of his hand as I let him go inside of our suite.

We're staying at a 5-star hotel here in our province. Pero nandito kami sa siyudad ng probinsya ngayon. Wala pa kasing developed hotel sa bayan kung saan kami lumaki at venue talaga ng pupuntahan namin. So from here, we have 30 minutes travel time away from our destination party. We're attending the Grand Alumni Homecoming of the school where we had graduated high school. We also have an on-going project there kaya siguro may part kami sa program.

"Amore baka ma-late tayo niyan, ikaw kasi iiyak-iyak pa." he said, looking really bored but a hint of amusement was evident on his face.

I glared at him as I retouched my make up. Kasalanan ko ba kung bakit nasira ito? Siya kaya, pina-iyak niya kasi ako. Pero wala naman talaga siyang ginawa ah? Basta alam ko naiyak ako dahil sa kaniya tapos dumagdag pa yung bouquet, so eventually siya nga ang may kasalanan.

"Let's go I'm already done." I said and walked through pass the door when he snaked his hand around my waist.

"My amore is mad. I'm sorry because I made you cried." hinila niya ako dahilan ng pagkakadikit ng mga ilong namin. I stole a smack on his lips and it made him stiffened. I felt his grip around me loosen kaya kinuha ko na ang pagkakataon na iyon para makalabas na. Baka hindi na kami tumuloy eh.

Mabilis naman siyang sumunod sa elevator at pinulupot ulit ang mga kamay sa aking bewang. Pagkababa namin sa parking lot nakahanda na iyong sasakyan niya at nagpasalamat nalang siya sa valet bago pumasok. Pinasadahan ko muna ng tingin ang regalo kong sasakyan sakanya at tumungo na rin papasok. This is a 2020 Ford Mustang GT. Binigay ko ito sa kaniya isang linggo ang nakakaraan simula nung makauwi kami rito sa Pilipinas.

The party was scheduled to start at 7:00 PM and it's already 8:00 PM when we have arrived. But I already knew that sakto lang ang pagdating namin. Filipino Time.

"Are you ready, Engr. Abiera?" he says while unlocking his seatbelt.

"Yes, of course, Engr. Gozon. At isa pa, I am Engr. Gozon too. Gusto mo yatang solohin ang apelido mo?" I said with my brows shot up.
