Sihana CadenI looked at their faces and tears suddenly begin to roll down my cheeks. "I'm trying! I'm really trying to forget about him but it's not working. You know, I do not want it to seem like I'm still into him but it's not working. I really love him too that I can't even see another guy again." I said. Charlotte hurriedly embraces me in a tight hug as she soothes my back. "Hey! You made a promise to yourself, remember? You won't be this down because of him. Girl! Look at you. You're a pretty girl and someone better than him is all over you already. All you have to do is to forget about him completely, open your heart to accept someone else's" she said. "Charlotte is right, Sia. Please, do not cry. We are to make ourselves happy tonight and not cry. How about we get ourselves drunk tonight? Let's forget about our sorrow and enjoy ourselves to the fullest?" Crystal suggested. "A nice idea but it's never going to work." A familiar voice said as the door burst open and he barge
Sihana CadenI walked to where Aiden's car is parked and throw my car key to his driver. He caught it immediately but looked at me confused. "You're driving my car back home. Give your boss his car key" I said to him. We are all out of Charlotte's house and now in her compound. I won't lie, I had a lot of fun with the girls yesterday night. None of us sleep all through the night. We are all awake, having fun, and celebrating with Charlotte and my brother. It was like the first time spending the night with them because it was definitely going to be a memorable one. Maybe, it's because of Charlotte's pregnancy that we found out. Yesterday was awesome. "What are you doing? Why are you giving him an order when you're not even his boss?" My brother asked me. "Because I'm your sister.""You have your car, you little witch" he hissed at me. "I know. But I don't want to drive. It's not a big deal, big brother" I replied, rolling my eyes at him. "Give her back the car key. There's no way
Sihana Caden"Don't you dare say anything to them" he threatens me in a cold tone. "Watch me, big brother" I said before hopping down from his car and running straight into the house. The truth is, I was never going to say anything to them. I was only pulling his leg and that's all. He also got out of the car and run after me. "Sia! Stop right there before I deal with you. I'm going to skin you alive if you do anything crazy!" He threatened again while running after me and suddenly, I bumped into someone. I almost fall but two firm yet gentle hands were wrapped around me, securing me tightly from falling. Looking up to see who it was, turns out to be my usual savior. The only man who always stood by me even when my mom is upset at me sometimes. "Dad! He wants to beat me for no reason" I said, hiding at his back whilst I stick out my tongue at Aiden.Aiden stood in front of Dad, breathing heavily like someone who just had a marathon race. "Dad, let that little witch go right this mi
Sihana Caden"Mom! What are you doing? You've been on your phone all this while! I've been the only one picking out the stuff that we need" I complained, looking at my mom in bewilderment. She has been on her phone ever since we left home. We got to the shopping mall and yet, still on her phone. Guess who she has been on the phone with? My dad. It's annoying and sweet at the same time. I mean, they've been together since morning so, how in the world or what in the world are they both talking about that's taking them this long to finish? "Zayn, your daughter is about to rip my head off my neck. I need to go now and you have to take care of yourself for me" she said to dad. I have no idea what dad told her but she blush. Great! Everyone is lucky with their partner, only me is left out. Finally, she put her phone back in her bag as we both look for the necessary items we need but not without her smacking me on my arm first. "Ouch! Mom, what was that for?" I asked, rubbing the place s
Sihana CadenHe didn't spare me a glance, after hugging my mom for the last time, he walk over to his car, got in and drove off. Brute!"You and Mathew, huh? Is anything going on between you two?" Mom asked once we are in the car and our way home."There's nothing going on between us, mommy. Stop assuming things" I said with my eyes rolled. "You know, whenever I see you two, I always see myself and your dad""Mom! How can you compare you and Dad with Mathew and I? You just saw him few days ago" I said, unbelievably. "No, no, no. You're getting all wrong. I did not just saw him days ago, I watch you two grow up ever since you two were kids." "Whatever!" I rolled my eyes at what she just said. I keep wondering why am I the only one who can't remember this annoying guy. Everyone knows about him and me, I have no memory of him at all."Mom, are you really not going to tell me what you're planning this evening?""Sorry, what are you talking about?""Mom! You said it earlier! That you a
Sihana CadenAiden got up from his sit without saying a word and walk over to where Charlotte and I were both sitting. He stretch his hand out to her, she looked at his face confusedly. She turned her head to look at me and I only pass her a small nod and smile. She got up and they both walk to the center of the room and halt. Now, they have everyone's attention on them. "Mom, Dad, I know what I'm about to say right now might be surprising to y'all but, I will still end up saying it since we have both decided to take this step. Erm.., Charlotte and I will be getting married as soon as possible" he announced. "What?!" Xander looked surprised. Yes, everyone in the room is surprise except, myself, mom, and dad. Mom looks happy? Yes, that's what I can see in her eyes. And my dad, he looks calm. Well, I'm not surprised because he's always calm in every situation even if, he's bothered or surprised, he will always look calm. "I also want to say this, Charlotte and I are expecting a baby
Sihana Caden"Just because I'm good-looking doesn't mean anyone can't hurt my feelings. You're extremely beautiful too yet, you got betrayed by the man you love the most." He said and that hit me real hard. He is right. Almost all the cute young guys want me for themselves yet, I choose Ralph but what did I get in return? He betrayed and hurt me badly. "You know, have you ever had of this saying that says; 'only those who are good-looking and has a kind heart get hurt the most in a relationship?'" he asked. I can't help but burst into heavy laughter. "What? Where did you get that from? I've never heard of something crazy as that" I said."Yeah, you might not have heard that before but I've always heard of it all the time and now you know" he said."Hmmm" I hummed. "So, what happened between you and her? Why did she betray you?" I asked but for a few seconds, he kept mum. Okay, did I ask what I'm supposed to do? Did I hit him hard on that?"You don't have to say anything if you don'
Sihana Caden"Rise and shine, it's morning two sleepy heads! Come on, wake up! Wake up!" I heard my mom's voice say but this sleep on having right now is too sweet to be disturbed. "It's morning already?" I heard Charlotte's husky voice ask. "Yes, it's morning. You two need to get up now" mom added again. "Good morning" "Morning, sweet girl. Now, get up from that bed you two"I don't want to be disturbed instead, I use my pillow to cover my ear. "Sihana Caden! You know that truck of yours is never going to work on me this morning. You had better get up from that bed right this minute before I spank that ass of yours" I heard my mom threatening voice. I hissed and sit up. I looked at my mom and glared at her. "Mom! This is unfair""Glare all you want, I don't care. You two need to get ready and come downstairs fast so we can all have our breakfast. We are going for a check-up after that" "Wait, what?!""Check up?!" Charlotte and I asked at the same time. The latter was Charlotte.
Sihana Caden A Year later If I will be told a day like this would come between Ralph and I then, I would have denied it. Just 6 months ago, I was still adamant in not giving him a chance. For good six months, he tried his best trying to win my heart back. He got into fight a lot of times with Matt, at some point, I got scared because I thought, he would hurt Matt remembering what he did to my ex then when we first met but, Ralph is now a changed person. He's more compassionate and caring too. I slapped him countless times, I hurt him with my harsh words, made sure to hurt his feelings just in same way, he did to me in the past yet, he took all of that without any complains. He didn't go away, he kept telling me he would accept whatever punishment I give him that he deserves everything. All he wanted was for me to forgive him. After a lot of thought and my heart betraying me whenever he's close to me, his change of attitude too made me end up forgiving him. I was glad Matt
Sihana CadenIt's been two days I last saw Ralph. Telling me he won't ever leave not until I forgive him yet, I haven't set my eyes on him again after the last time he collapsed at my door step. Well... Why am I even bothered about his presence?- I thought before rounding up the make up on my face. Matt and I are both going to this restaurant he told me he just found recently. I also realize something that, no matter how we had an argument, we end up settling the issue even before we realize it. He was like a boyfriend who understands his girlfriend. You see why I said, any woman who ends up with him will be so lucky to have him as her man? But, not me. I tried so hard to love him but, I just can't do it. And today, we're both having dinner outside. We both agreed to go out and explore most of the places I've not been to before I leave for New York tomorrow. I made a decision to go back home and, I won't be telling anyone. It will only be as a surprise.I'm sure, my friends, my f
Sihana CadenMy brother just finished telling me how Ralph was poisoned by his uncle, he inject him a dangerous poison. I can't believe he did that because Ralph helped my Dad. They've been trying so hard to find the antidote but it seems, he made sure he got the poison from a place where Ralph would never be able to find the remedy. And now, it's disturbing him according to what my brother had told me. "Sia, I believe you can take care of him, right?" He asked."What are you talking about? Take care of him? But you're here?""I need to attend to something urgent. A message just came in now""What?! But you can't just leave me alone with him here""He won't hurt you, that I'm sure of " he kissed my forehead and left the room in a hurry even before I could protest. How he can easily vouch for him now still amaze me. Just some months ago, none of them wants him for me but now, they're all close to him. Especially Aiden, he now act like he's known Ralph for years. Their closeness is
Sihana Caden Just getting up from the bed and my phone begin to ring. It's my Dad. I wonder what it's this time around. "Hey dad" I said immediately I pick up the call. "It's been 9 months already, getting close to 10th. When are you coming back home?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Dad! You didn't call me this early morning to ask me such question, did you?""Does this seems like a joke to you? From my tone, you should know I'm serious, Sia. When are you coming back home?" He asked again. "B... But. But I thought you told Aiden not to force me concerning this and that, I can decide on whenever I want to come back, Dad?""At this point, I can't help but tell you to come back home Sia. What do you still intend doing over there? Aren't you over the healing process already?""But I-""Your Dad is right, Sia. Please, come back home. We missed you so much. Your father and I, missed you a lot. Because of you, Aiden and Charlotte couldn't push through with the wedding... Don'
•Sihana Caden"It all begin while I was growing up." He begin as he caress my arms. My heart fluttered immediately due to his action. I'm glad, I was seating else, my knees would have gotten too weak and I might end up falling. "My uncle, what he told me was, my parents and my kid sister was killed by your Dad. He also told me, he did that because he was jealous of him. He made me know both our parents used to be a Mafia and at some point, they were both fighting for the leader then. And because your Dad couldn't stand my Dad taking the throne, he killed him, my mom and my sister. He told me he was glad I spent the holiday with him during that period else, I would have been dead too" "That's all a lie! My Dad would never do anything as that callous" I said as I tried to get up from his lap but he stop me immediately. "Please, let's stay like this. This is the only way I can make you understand me and how I feel" "Since when did you become this considerate about other people's fe
•Sihana Caden"Hey" I said faintly to Matt who was still sitting on my couch. I had thought he would leave after what has transpired between us some hours ago but no, he's still here waiting for me to come downstairs. What a gentle man. He hurriedly jump up from his seat and hug me tightly. I could feel his breath, heavily. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for the way I busted at you earlier. I promise, I'm never going to do that again. Please forgive me" he apologized. "It's fine, Matt. You didn't do anything, okay? You were only looking after me. I... I should have listened to you but, I was so taken back by my emotions. I'm sorry too" I apologized. He broke the hug and smiled widely at me. "It's fine. For as long, you've forgiven me then, I'm okay with anything" he said."Thank you for understanding me""I will try my best to always do." He said. "So, what are you going to do about him now that he has find you again?""I don't know yet. I'm still surprised on how he found me" I sai
Sihana CadenAll the fear in me some few seconds ago are all gone and now replaced with anger. I glared hard at him before saying "what are you doing here?" In a very cold tone. The same tone he usually use. "I missed you Sia " he said as he hug me tightly, taking me off guard.This bastard did not just hug me, did he?"Get your filthy hands off me, Ralphael!" I tried pushing him away from me but, he's too stronger than me. He held me tightly like his life depends on it. "Please, Sia. Let's stay like this for a few minutes" he said, surprisingly in a very, very soft tone. "I said, to let go of me" I said again through gritted teeth. Finally, he let go of me and looked deep into my eyes instead, smiling. Did he just smile?!!!!!!Before I could say anything, he walked into my house like it belongs to him. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Raphael?! How dare you showed up in front of me like this?" I asked again. I don't know why my heart is beating crazy like this. I had
Sihana Caden8 months laterIt's been eight months I left home, my family, my loved ones and my work. I left without any traces. I also know, my parents would be hell worried sick about me when they found out I was gone. To make it worse, I left all they could use to track me behind. I know from the beginning that my father has always loved me very much and I'm sure, he would have search every crook and corner of the earth just for me before I finally call them on phone 4 months ago. Though, in the letter I left them, I told them not to bother looking for me that I will be fine but, I know my Dad very well. He has always cared and worried about me than my mom, I can't imagine how he would feel when he realized that I'm gone. Worried?Angry? Or, maybe both. I finally summoned the courage to talk to them four months ago and it was my mom who picked up. I called the house Telecom. Hearing her faint voice speak, I told her it was me. Do I even had to? Because, she called out my na
Mathew Diego Salvador"For the last time, who the hell saw my daughter leaving this house?!!!" Mr. Zayn roared in anger as he ask his guards and maids, making them all shake in fear. When I realized, I finished my work early today in the office, I decided to call Sia on phone. I wanted to ask her if she would want me to get her anything because I would love to see her face tonight before going back home.A month ago, when Mr. Zayn announced our wedding, I was shocked. I wasn't expecting such decision from him considering how he always threaten me to stay away from his daughter. I was happy though, with his decision. I'm in love with his daughter ever since we were kids and that has never changed. I will always love, cherish and respect her all my life- I made that vow to myself already.Calling her number several times, she didn't pick up and that's unlike her. I decided to give her some few minutes before trying it again but yet, same result as earlier.Her phone kept ringing but
