She smiled and took a deep breath. "By the way, I'm Savannah Lee, and I'm the ex-girlfriend of your current boyfriend who's named Mike," the woman introduced herself to me while raising her left eyebrow.My eyes suddenly widened and I seemed shocked at what she said and introduced me.It was a long time before I could speak due to my surprise as well as to my stupor. "Ah, that's right, anyway nice to meet you, Savannah Lee. And as you said a while ago I'm Kristina Delos Santos who's Mike's girlfriend," I said with a smile while secretly thinking hard about it.Later I held out my hand to shake his hand but I didn't expect her to just stare at it and not shake my hand."How are you and Mike? What I mean is how's going on your relationship together?" She asks me with a sigh. "I can't believe he's going to invite you here to attend their party," she said while looking at me badly and differently.I felt a little annoyed at what she said because she seemed to make me look like I wasn't a
I was thinking about what to say so it took a while before I could speak again. "And why did you react like that when you saw her? Why did you seem so different, as if you were so mad at her? Was she right that both of you broke up without closure? Am I right?!" I said as my voice grew louder.At the same time, Mike avoided my every look at him. "Please Kristina maybe we can just talk about that the other day. This is not the time for us to talk about that thing especially and it doesn't make sense. I don't want you to get angry with me just because of that matter or think badly of me. And besides that, there is no big deal between me and Savannah, we haven't been together for almost a year. Believe in me, Kristina! Please don't give that a bad meaning," Mike continued to explain to me just so I can understand him.In a few moments, the anger I felt seemed to disappear because of Mike's relentless explanation to me. Plus he was able to defend me in front of his ex-girlfriend Savann
"Excuse me? Do you think I'm following you? I guess you're too assuming to think such a thing," she laughed at the same time, obviously just being forced."And why are you saying anything like that? You know I wonder why you even got stuck here though this road is only one way and besides that my house is not too far from here but it's just too close from here. Now tell me, is it a coincidence or should we just say that you are a spy?" I said in a loud voice while laughing a little because I knew he would be embarrassed by what I said.She stopped at the same time and swallowed his saliva as if restless to herself while thinking hard of what she would do to excuse herself."Ok! I'm not going to wander around anymore. I was there to tell you to stay away from Mike. You still don't know much about Mike and me. It's better if you had to avoid him as soon as possible and stay away from him because, in the end, you're the only one to suffer and hurt," she said while raising his left eyebro
"So now I'm also going to tell you not to be complacent especially and I'm coming back now and I won't tired of taking steps so that I can get Mike back and take him away from you," she said determined and serious in her words.I took a deep breath as I felt heavier and heavier inside my heart. "I'm not afraid of what you're planning to do. If you want then go I won't stop you. I am always ready for that. Whoever wins then she will own Mike's heart. But one thing I will tell you is that I'm not. I am not going to lose someone just like you!" The loud voice that I say at the same time, shot her an evil look. "By the way, move that car that blocked my driveway, maybe if I can't stop it, I might run over it," I added while looking at her car.Savannah didn't just say anything about what I said because she seemed nervous and worried even more and she knew that little by little the tone of my speech was changing.She just did what I told her to start and drive his car so I could pass.
When we got inside, Mike immediately asked me something about why I hadn't come to church with him earlier so we could attend their mass together."By the way, you haven't explained to me why you didn't even arrive at church to meet me there? I also waited for you there for more than an hour to come. And then I called you many times but you still don't answer my call and as well as my text message. It seems like you're acting weird," Mike said to me as a reason for me to stop walking to the kitchen.I turned my attention to him."I told you earlier that I was busy. My phone was a low battery so I charged it. I didn't hear your calls and text messages because I was busy cooking earlier. And I didn't show up for you there at church it's because I suddenly felt bad about my condition. My only mistake was that I didn't tell you that in advance so you waited for nothing. I'm sorry for that," I pretended and at the same time, I take a deep breath."Your explanation can't convince me to beli
"And if I'm not mistaken. She's right that no break-up happened between the two of you. I think the communication between the two of you just stopped because of your anger and frustration that she chose her career in Japan over marrying you and living here in the Philippines which she is not ready for yet to happen. And so just a month later you immediately entered into a relationship, I mean you entered into my life. It was only since something was happening between the two of us while your relationship with Savannah is still stable. The point is you betrayed her and you also betrayed me and made me believe all your lies. ""You lied to me, Mike. I thought you were a clean person and there was no trouble with you but I was wrong. I thought I didn't have any problems with you but I still have too many problems because of you.""You hide everything from me and made me believe your lies. I can't believe you will do this to me. I can't believe that it will all end like this. I don't thin
I didn't even speak because of the emotion I was feeling.When you love someone you are still ready to forgive him despite everything he has done to you.I'm just weak so if the person is asking for forgiveness from me, I'll be able to accept him right away.I still forgave Mike and even gave him a chance to clean up and fix the mess he had made. I can see in Mike's actions that he is really sincere and convincingly that he regrets what he did.I also know in myself that the problem I will face does not end here even though Mike and I have reconciled. Because I knew in myself that I had more trials, challenges, and problems to face in our relationship. Especially since his ex-girlfriend Savannah is here in the Philippines and is determined to do everything just to take him away from me.And this is exactly what I will prepare time to do and Savannah will start her plan to take Mike from me.It was October 10 when I went to the mall to look for my designs for my preparation for the o
"I need to talk to you and correct my mistakes made with you before Kristina. I know you are angry with me and I am also not sure if anyone already owns your heart but I will make sure and I will do everything to get it back just to be mine again," Troy whispered to himself as he gasped in exhaustion as he ran out of the parking lot. "I want to go to your house but it doesn't seem like it's the right time for us to be together again since you were hurt badly by what I did to you before. I need to monitor your every move before I start my plan and actions for you," he added while taking a deep breath while thinking hard.But what Troy doesn't know is that I already have a new relationship which is Mike and we will be together for eight months this coming October. Little did he know that I had long erased him from my mind and also from my heart since Mike came into my life. What he didn't know was that I was happy in the company of others.If at first, I was wrong in my assumption t
"I want to get back at you Kristina. I know you still have a love for me to this day. You probably wouldn't have bothered and sacrificed to take care of me in the hospital if I don't have a place in your heart. I know and I feel that you still love me, Kristina," Troy couldn't control the emotion he felt so he suddenly burst into tears."Just leave Troy because you won't get anything out of me," I say sadly while suppressing my emotions being felt."Why are you driving me away? Don't you love me anymore?" He asked me while there is a sad face to be seen."Yes, Troy I don't love you anymore. I know you'll just hurt me again and leave me again as you did before. So, please just leave and leave me alone here," I said in a loud voice as I tried to suppress my feelings of love for him. At the same time, my tears were falling.Troy stopped when he heard me say I no longer loved him. His tears just kept flowing. Until he slowly knelt in front of me begging and asking for forgiveness."I am
"I don't know what you're saying about !!" Savannah said with a loud voice as she was trembling with fear and nervousness. "Stop pretending to me Savannah. And stop pretending that you are innocent and that you don't know what is happening around you!" I said with a loud voice as my speech seems sounds different. Savannah was no longer able to speak but just listened to what I said. "But it's already done. I broke up with him and I chose myself over choosing him and forgiving him again which I know he will just repeat over and over again." "I accept that we broke up. As people said, if the person isn't for you, don't insist because in the end, only you will be hurt." "Everything has a reason and everything has a purpose. Maybe that's why we broke up is because she's destined for you, Savannah, and not for me," I smiled a little even though I knew I was just being forced but my heart still penetrated the pain they caused to me. "I'm here to fix all of this. I said earlier that I b
I even thought of just confessing to Troy’s Mom the real status of our relationship. And just stop to pretend to her anymore. And when I found a good time to talk to her, I did not hesitate to tell her the truth that Troy and I don't have a relationship. But we have been separated for a long time and now it seems that we are just friends with each other. Especially since no one formally says that we are back to the way we used to be, even if we say that we both feel the same way for each other's and I just suppress my feelings for him because I don't want to be hurt again. Before I finally left the hospital I formally said goodbye to Troy and left a few words for him. "Um, anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow Troy because I'm going home to Laguna to take myself rest. I will leave you here first and I no longer watch over you, but I will get some updates to your Mom regarding your good ratings and continuous improvement of your condition. I am sorry but I need to go home to Laguna first an
"Don't come near me and even more don't touch me. I hate you, Mike!" The loud and angry voice that I told him at the same time looked at him badly."What are those things you are saying now? You know I can't understand you. It's just what's going through your mind. Direct me?""Don't pretend anymore and I know all the shit you are hiding from me! Do you want me to direct you? Well, I am BREAKING UP WITH YOU! That's enough and I am so tired of your lying to me. You know, I trust you a lot Mike and I almost idolize you thinking that you are a kind man, that you are very different from everyone, and especially that you are not a cheater. But I am very wrong because I trusted you without knowing that you are more than animals. You are stupid, you fool me despite the love and sacrifice I've done to you. But this is enough I have opened my eyes to the truth. So there is no reason for us to continue this relationship between the two of us. I am breaking up with you. So, you can leave becaus
Even though I feel very heavy now and I don't seem to be in the right frame of mind, I was still able to go to the hospital to visit Troy again as I promised his Mom, the other day.It will be eleven o'clock in the morning when I get to the hospital. Somehow I still dealt well with Troy's Mom.When Troy and I were the only ones left in the room, I could not control the emotion and pain I felt so I just started to cry.This in turn Troy to be startled and confused as he pretended to be unconscious at the same time.Soon I was sitting next to Troy and there I released the pain I felt because of Mike."I can't believe Troy. The person I love will be cheated on me again. Is this my life that all the people I love will just leave me alone and suffer? Mike is cheating on me, Troy. He deceived me and betrayed me as well. Yesterday I saw him and her ex-girlfriend kissing and doing sex. They are animals who were even able to take a private house just to make their mysterious doing. I'm so pain
It seems right that I think it might be Mike that Savannah is talking to on her cellphone.Soon after, Savannah dropped the call and he was getting ready to leave with her car.I immediately turned around so that she could not see me and when she got enter her car I immediately went to my car and turned it on to follow her where she was going. Especially and I seem nervous today.I just kept following and spying on Savannah’s back. She has no idea what I am doing following her now.Soon, she suddenly turned to the left way of the road and I also continued to follow her. Until once I was surprised when she driving is way into San Carlos St. Where I once saw Mike enter this place as well.Because of this, my whole body was shaking and I seemed to be running out of breath because of the strange beating of my heart."My God, I hope this doesn't come true what I'm thinking now. I hope I'm just wrong in thinking and I hope I don't get to the point where I will have trauma again," I whisp
"And why do you two look like you saw a ghost?" Savannah asked in astonishment to her two friends while staring blankly at them."The waiter is so beautiful," said one of her friends who just stared at me intently."What's beautiful? Are you insane?" She said as she laughed and at the same time, she slowly looked at me.She was suddenly startled and her eyes widened when she saw me standing right in front of her."Wait, what?! Her shocked reaction was obvious and at the same time, swallowed by her saliva."Oh hi, Savannah anyway I brought you our specialty dish which is spicy buttered chicken without spicy. Isn't it and you don't like spicy foods, that's where your request has been granted" I said while glancing at her and smiling at her a little while keeping my anger to her.Savannah stopped and it seemed that it took a while before she could speak."You are my dear, Kristina. I did not know you were just a waiter now," she said with a laugh as she stared at me from head to toe.I
It was Saturday in the morning when I was in a corner while sitting at a table and checking my income and expenses at my Restaurant.I did not expect that there would be three female customers coming to eat at my Restaurant and surprisingly one of them was Mike’s ex-girlfriend Savannah.When I saw her I was shocked and even more surprised that she went to eat at the restaurant that I own."Is that Savannah Lee who's Mike's ex-girlfriend? And what is she doing here in my Restaurant?" The weak voice I asked myself as I secretly watched them entering my restaurant Soon after, Savannah orders food with her two other friends that I do not know.I just watched them while they were busy talking to each other. And does not think anything about them.In a few moments, their order arrived at their table. They ordered our specialty main dish which is spicy buttered chicken."Wow, it looks delicious!" One of Savannah's colleagues added.When they started eating, Savannah suddenly got up from he
What I did not know was that everything Troy's Mom told me was just a show and she just pretended to me as she keep her mouth shut up to tell me that Troy already opened his eyes and was in a good condition right now.She and his son, Troy. Had planned not to let me know the fact that he had woken up from his long coma.After more than three hours of my staying in the hospital, I informed Troy's Mom that I would be leaving first since I would be taking care of something at the Restaurant."I need to leave first and leave you behind because one of my staff called me who had a little problem there at my Restaurant. I wish I could stay here to watch Troy but I also need to be there. And I also need to fix this problem before it grows up. I'm sorry Aunt Eza but don't worry I'll be back here tonight before I go home, "I told her while looking at my cellphone."No, it's okay my dear I know you're a busy person. I'm ashamed of you because you still divide your time between your work and t
