ONE SHOTS COMPILATION

HIS TEARS

First day of school. We have a new classmate raw. He's a transferee so he still have no friends. No one is talking to him. Kasi we noticed that he's so joyful. Like even though he was shouted by our teacher he will still smile. Lot of our classmates call him freak. But I don't.

It's been 3 months since he transferred. Still has no friends. Naawa ako kaya lumapit ako sakanya.

"Hi. Can I seat here?" I asked.

He looked at me then looked at the surrounding.

"They might bully you." He said sincerely.

I got goosebumps on his voice. It was deep and manly. Wattpad man voices be like.

"I don't care. I'm the principal's daughter anyway so they don't dare." He chuckled.

Omyghad! He's so cute.

"So can I seat here?" I asked again.

"Yeah yeah sure. I'm Paris by the way." He lend his hand.

"I'm Aphrodite. We both named after love huh?" We shaked hand.

He nod and laugh a bit.

"Yeah." We talked a lot about anything. Hanggang sa mag time na para sa 1st subject namin ng hapon.

Sabay kaming pumasok sa room. Our classmates gave us an suspicious look. Paris and I didn't mind and went to our seats.

Its been 4 months since Paris and I became friends- bestfriends I mean. We shared a lot of our problems. Talked about anything. We hangout. Basta madami. My fake friends avoided me when I started talking to Paris but I didn't mind. It was good actually.

"Uhm. Aphrodite I know this might shock you but please whatever I confess Let's still remain as friends." I got nervous about what he said.

"I think I'm in love with you Aphrodite. You don't have to like me back. I just want to tell this before it's too late." He said.

"Omyghad! I love you too Paris!" I confess back.

He was shocked and didn't know what to do so I step forward and kissed him. He kissed back. We broke the kiss when we lost out of breath.

"I will court you everyday Aph. I love you so much." I nod and hugged him.

This is the best day of my life.

Years had passed and now we're still together. We graduated in the same university but9 graduated first. After 2 years he graduated. We had our job. I as a Flight attendant. Him as an army. Our schedule was heptic but we always keep to put a time for the two of us.

Now I'm watching him walking towards the plane. They had to go to Afghanistan to give some help. And to evacuate some Filipinos who's stuck in the war.

I'm worried. Always am because what if one day he'll return but inside a coffin? Or he might get abducted by the terrorists. I always overthink but knowing him, he'll come back to me for sure.

I went home and prepared my luggage for my flight tomorrow. We have a flight going to Japan the from japan going to California. Then comeback here in the Philippines after 3 days of lay over. I'll miss him again.

(Try listening to love is gone while reading this part.)

2 weeks had passed and I still have no updates from him. I'm having a bad feeling about this. I was about to sleep when someone knocked at the door. I immediately went to see who is it.

"Drake. You're back. Where is Paris?" I searched for him but there was no sign of Paris.

"I'm sorry." Drake took of his army hat and placed it in his chest. He gave me a letter. Then he left.

I went inside nervously. All my emotions are mixing. I sat down and opened the letter trembling.

My dear Godess,

I might not return to you alive this time. We are being ambushed by the terrorists. But always remember that I love you. I will always love you. Remember the day you asked why I don't cry? Or even feel unhappy? Because I don't want people to see me in the inside. I keep my pain inside and pretend to be happy outside. But when you approached me and talked to me I have always been happy. You were my guardian angel. That day you talked to me, I was about to commit suicide but you saved me. You saved me from my demon. So hush now my Godess. Don't cry.

Always remember to lock the door before going to sleep. Always remember what I have teached you on how to protect yourself and on how to use gun. I don't know if I can survive but If I does you won't be reading this. I love you my Godess. Take care and always keep smiling. I love you.

Your Knight in shinning armor,
Paris

I cried after reading the letter and tried to call him. No! He must survive. He should survive. He will survive. My Army.

'Sorry the number you have dailed is out of coverage please try again later'

I called him several times until I got tired. No. He's still alive. My Paris is still alive.

"Happy Anniversary Paris! And happy death an- anniversary My army. Its been 6 years since you left. I'm still moving on but look. I'm getting married. I'm sorry if I'm going to marry another man. But if you're still alive please come and see me now. I will still wait for you my Army. I know, somewhere you are there. Finding me. I will still wait for you my Paris. Knock at our door please." I begged and cried again.

I waited for 5 months but no Paris had knocked on our door. Tomorrow's my wedding day and I'm still waiting for him. I will still wait for him, until tomorrow.

"Will you Austin, take Aphrodite as your wife in sickness and health, in poorness and wealth, in sadness and happiness?" The priest asked.

I keep on looking at he church door to see if he's there, watching.

"I do." He put the ring in my ring finger.

"Do you Aphrodite, take Austin as you husband in sickness and health, in poorness and wealth, in sadness and happiness?" The priest asked me.

I looked at the door for the last time. I saw no one.

"I -" A man suddenly showed up interrupting me to answer. I look at him hoping he's my Army.

"My Godess." My heart skipped a beat. I saw how he's tears fall down. Tears in my eyes fall also because he showed up.

My Paris showed up.

I was about to go closer to him when Austin held my hand. I looked at him. I took the ring out of my hand and sincerely said sorry. He was confused but I didn't have much time because I still have to follow Paris. He will always be my man. The man I will only love.

"Paris!" I shouted while looking at him. I don't care if I'm still in my wedding gown. The most important is that I'll found him. I can't lost him again.

Then I saw him at the park where I said yes when he was courting me.

"Paris!" I went to hugged him.

"My godess. You look beautiful in your gown. But its sad that I'm not your groom. Always take care of yourself my Godess. Love him more that how you love me. Stop waiting for me Aphrodite. Let me go. Don't hurt yourself. You're now with your soulmate. Find happiness in him. Love him. I will always love you my Godess. Don't wait for me anymore. Let me wait for you. In another life. I'll find you." He said

"What are you talking about? Nandito ka na Paris. Why do I still have to wait? You won't leave me right?" I asked

"I never left you my godess. I won't leave you. But you have to let go of me now. I love you. Now go back to your groom. He's still waiting for you outside the church. Love him more than you have love me. See you in another life my goddess." Then he kissed me on my forehead and vanished slowly.

"No!! Pariiis! Don't leave me! My army. Stay with me." I kneel down. Begging for him to come back.

His smile was the first thing I liked about him but now his tears keeps on reminding me of what he said.

"We'll see each other soon my Paris. I'll find you in another life. I love you my Capital." The last thing I said before I go to sleep forever.
