ARA forced a laugh then stared into Daniel's dark eyes. They stared at each other for a moment.
Her deep blue eyes against his dark eyes. After a while of silence she then just saw herself run to her boyfriend and hugged him tightly.
Life is really not fair as what others say and she has proved it right. For now that she has found the true happiness and the true meaning of her life something as tragic as this happened.
"I don't know why I had to cross paths if this will also end like this. But Ara, don't leave me, give me a reason to still force myself to fight. I will force myself to fight for my life, for you, because I love you so much, I don't want to leave you," Daniel, who is like her, crying as he hugs her tightly.
Ara cannot think of anything to say at that very moment. She could feel too much pain and that’s what she sees as the reason why her brain isn’t working.
"WHATEVER you are trying to say I think we'd better eat first so that you can rest," she said releasing herself from the young man and grabbing his arm then guiding him to sit on a chair. "By the way, I haven't told you yet that Mama is coming home my sister, Danica," after a while while they were eating that's what she heard from the young man. Ara's feelings are divided in two because of that. She is happy because after a long time Daniel could finally be with his mother. And saddened because even though the young man had not yet told her the real reason for his sister and mother's reason for coming home, she seemed to have guessed what it was. "We'll get a second opinion," he said in an encouraging voice then held her hand tightly. Ara nodded then reached the young man's face and gently caress his cheek. "That's exactly what it should be, I hope the first diagnosis about you
"ARE you sure you can drive? Don't you just want us to take a jeep since it's still early?" Ara asked Daniel Monday morning when they were inside the young man's car. She was then currently fastening her seat belt.As usual, her boyfriend picked her up so that they could go to school together. She has not yet told her parents about her boyfriend's situation but she also plans to let them know the truth. So that they would not be surprised and ask why she was in the big house more often to accompany the young man."Of course, as long as I can, I won't let you commute. I don't want you to experience what happened to you before, you were harassed by a drunk man," he said, staring at her intently.Ara then nodded and couldn't help but let out a sad sigh that reached the young man's hearing. It was when he took her hand, then kissed it."You don't have to feel sorry for me, sweetheart. I will fight, no m
THAT was the day of Daniel's schedule for another doctor and hospital where he would get a second opinion so Marielle didn't let him go to school first.That was also the reason why she went to school alone and did duty at the library without the young man.Ara remained silent, not because no one was talking to her but because she was not with Daniel and she missed her boyfriend very much."Ara, would you like to have lunch with me and Jenny?" it was Jason who approached her while she was trying to keep herself busy in front of the computer.She looked at Jason then forced a smile. "Thanks but I'm okay," she replied.Her friend stared at her for a moment before he nodded and spoke. "All right, it's up to you," he said hesitantly, staring at her again, and then left.She ate lunch alone that day. And since she was not on duty yet, she decided to go to the roof deck whe
JUST as Daniel had told her, her parents and brother were in the mansion and that is where she caught up with them. Marielle smiled as she greeted her and hugged her. Then they quickly invited her and her family to eat because dinner was also ready in the dining room.Although full of astonishment, Ara chose not to ask and just waited for what Daniel would say about the result of the examination.After dinner, the young man invited her to the garden where there was a swinging bench with a canopy made of steel. They sat there, side by side.For a moment silence fell on them. None of them seemed to want to start a conversation because they both knew what they were going to talk about and that was why they were there.When Daniel took her hand, the young lady decided to lean her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.She was nervous but she didn't want to be swallowed by that nervousness. Sh
THAT night Ara talked to her parents to let her stay in the mansion. At first, they seemed hesitant to allow her, especially her father. But in time, she was able to explain everything to them.She first put her diary in her bag with the letters from Daniel. Even though she has read them many times, she still does not get tired of repeating them, because the love and warm feelings that caress her heart does not change every time."Just go back for the other things that you need, after all, Daniel's house is not far from here," said her mother Susan who was standing at the door of her room.That was when Ara turned to her mother then forced a smile. Then she continued what she was doing."Don't lose hope," she soon heard Susan speak again with a careful squeeze on her shoulder.Ara's eyes warmed at what she heard but she stopped herself from crying and she succeeded t
IN the following days both of them became busy fixing everything for their wedding. Daniel's mother has been the one helping them. The wedding will be held at Judge Arcega's office.The judge is a friend of Daniel's parents who will be the one to marry them."Where are we going?" Ara asked one day before their wedding.It was a Saturday, no classes, while their wedding would be held the next day."Let's buy a dress for you to wear for tomorrow. I want you to be very beautiful," the young man stared at her then stroked her cheek."Can you still drive?" she asked the young man in a worried tone."Of course, I'm taking advantage of the opportunity while I can because I know I won't be able to do all this soon, especially when my treatment starts," her boyfriend told her as they left the garage.But that was the intensity of the shock that Ara felt w
THE day that Ara and Daniel had been waiting had arrived.It wasn’t the kind of marriage she dreamed of, she had to admit it to herself.But even so, even if it wasn't the kind of marriage she had dreamed of since she was a child, she didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness or regret. Because the truth is, she was very happy.She is so much in love with the man she will marry and that is the most important thing of all. It's the same reason why her heart is still full of happiness.For the last time, Ara stared at herself in front of the large mirror in her room.Last night, instead of Daniel it was Danica who bought that dress with her. It was not easy for the three of them to convince the young man to just stay at home and let her leave with his sister.She was grateful when eventually she was able to convince him when she said she would be okay. Ara understa
MARIELLE had already asked them what they planned for their first night as a couple. At first, Daniel joked that he wanted a trip to Europe, but because of his condition, they both knew that it was impossible to happen.Ara suggested that they stay at the mansion. Now she is happily married to the man she loves the most. For her, more important than anything money can buy and pay for is to start Daniel's treatment."Why didn't you agree when Mama suggested we check in at a five-star hotel?" as they had agreed before she moved into the mansion she would sleep in her husband's bedroom from that night on.They were on the veranda then and breathing some fresh air. They had just finished eating a delicious dinner that Salyn and her mother-in-law prepared. In addition to that, they also had a nice lunch earlier as their wedding reception at a five-star hotel and restaurant."I don't need that, I prefer i
MY FEET felt heavy as I crossed the rocky road in that area. I’m not familiar and I don’t know where that is. But my feet hurt and I just endured the feeling of small, sharp rocks piercing on them. Despite the fact that the said place is stranger to me I still can’t help to admire it. The scenery was beautiful and the fresh air was fragrant, mixed with the smell of dew-soaked grass and the petals of wildflowers. That place was so beautiful and even though I had no idea where I really was, that thought didn't seem to matter to me anymore. I didn’t even care about the rocky road I was treading, because what was more important to me in those moments, was the wonderful feeling that was given to me as if that place seemed like paradise. After all, I grew up on a large, beautiful hacienda. Yes, I am an heiress, and one day my brother and I were the two heirs to that hacienda. And because of that kind of place where I grew up, I thought, I shouldn't have felt so much amazement here. B
Present Day... Bella quickly wiped away the tears that had soaked her face. She did not know Daniel, but everything she read was enough to justify everything that had happened. She turned to the next page again. And by that time it was no longer the usual Dear Diary she had read written on the left and top part of the paper, but the words Dearest Daniel. Yes, this is where her sister started writing to her late husband and that is what broke her heart. ***** Dearest Daniel, I’m here in our room, and as I write this I’m hugging your framed photo. You're really handsome, you know? And for me, you are the most handsome man in the world. That's true. I miss you so much. The next morning after the night that we talked, as you want it to happen I forced myself to be brave. And I promise you that I will continue to be that way, for you.
"WHAT are you saying?" my weeping utterance."The truth," he laughed softly then stared at me. "Look at me," a moment later I averted my gaze from my husband that's what I heard him say.Even though I didn't want to, I willingly obeyed him. Daniel has always been like that. He had his own way of persuading me and he did not have to raise his voice or be authoritative in the tone of his speech to do so."When I'm gone, fall in love again, go on with your life," I quickly felt an intense coldness all over my body because of what Daniel said.I shook my head consecutively. "No, you know I can't do that. You know how much I love you and when I do that you also know that even if there is someone else next to me you will still be the one I will look for, you will still be the one I will find," I cried insistently.I can't believe I heard those words from him personally but on the other han
Dear Diary,When Daniel's treatment started, I filled my heart with hope that my husband would recover. I love him so much and I still want to be with him. It was hard for me to let him go because I had already built my life with him, and that started the day when I answered him and accepted him into my life as my boyfriend. And that didn’t just double the day I agreed to marry him.I try to think that he will recover because I love him so much.I like to think that he will still be with me until I grow old. But doctors say otherwise. Daniel says otherwise.Maybe that’s really the case when you love someone. You will try to hold on even if you can't find anything to hold on to. Because you don't want to let him go.Days, weeks, and months passed. My husband's appearance has changed a lot. In the room where we were still sleeping, he wanted us to sleep next to each other,
"ISN'T it bad for you that we're doing this?" when they were both lying on the bed that was what Ara asked her husband.Ara heard the faint laugh that ran down on Daniel's throat. "I don't think so," he replied and then pulled her at touched her forehead with a simple kiss."In that case, let's take advantage of the situation," she said as she moved and went on top of her husband."Ara!" Daniel rebukes her.Thrilled that she just laughed softly and then started undressing again the now thin negligee that she was wearing."You don't have to get up, don't worry because I'm in charge this time," she said, throwing her negligee and then followed by her underwear made of thin lace.Their room was dark at that moment because they had turned off the light earlier after taking a bath. And only the light coming from the lamppost on the road serves as their torch. Its light pen
JUST as Daniel wanted to happen, she met his gaze. That's why she could clearly see how the emotion in his dark eyes changed as he claimed her.They were both soaked in the cold water flowing from the shower.But that did not decrease the heat that she was feeling as soon as her husband's furious maleness started to go in and out of her femininity."Y-You might get tired, ohhhhh!" she said then closed her eyes again when she felt a deep thrust coming from Daniel."I'm okay, don't worry about me," her husband replied as the corner of his lips rose before he lowered his head and claimed her lips. "I love you," he whispered huskily when he released her mouth. After that, he lifted her and sat her at the long bathroom counter.Her husband's actions intensified the heat that she felt. She felt very hot because with each attack she could feel the anger of his manhood hitti
