Gracelyn's POVHere I am again sitting on the plane but this time I am flying back home and no nuisance like Riley. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I feel so tired from yesterday's schedule. I am already a regular nurse in the hospital and I rented an apartment for myself. Now I am flying back home for a seminar. The hospital decided to send me as a representative. They say that it is my hometown and I know the places. For me, it is an opportunity to have a vacation so I grabbed it eventhough I feel drained.Two hours more to go before the plane lands. I closed my eyes and tried to take a nap. I needed energy for the seminar. After I stepped down from the plane, I immediately went to the seminar's venue. It's already eight in the morning here and seminar will start at nine. All this rushing wake my blood. I immediately went to the information table to fill all necessary documents."Gracelyn?".I heard a familiar voice. I turn around and saw Greg. He looks.... different. A good d
Gracelyns POv"I am sorry for proposing to you the childish way before. Now I am making things straight and doing it the right way. I already asked permission from your mom and dad". Greg sat across me."Wow. So my parents sold me out". I mumbled."Not exactly. Your mom gave me a long sermon and repeat it for how many times but to sum it up, she said that I should act like my age and I should always try my best not to hurt you. If I have to choose between two things that will hurt you, she said I should choose the thing that will hurt you less. As for your dad, he didn't agree at first. He is guilty of hurting you and Ange. He is afraid that someone like him would hurt you again but after ten nights of courting him, he said yes."" Why trouble yourself"."Because I love you and I am serious about it". LOVE is a positive word- a happy word but why does hearing it makes my heart aches so much. All the things i imagine being in love would be are the opposite of what I felt- of wha
Greg's POv I was so happy when the hospital chose me to be the nurse they will be sending in Australia to adopt and observe. That means I have a chance to be closer to Grace. I excitedly pack my things as I will be flying there as soon as the hospital I am working right now finishes processing my papers. I didn't mention this to Grace or any our friends, only mom and dad knows. I want it to be a surprise."Promise us, you will take care of yourself there", Mom said."I will mom"."And whatever happens between you and Grace there. Always be strong and never succumb to depression again. Remember that we always love you". Dad added.I smile at them, "Don't worry too much I am a grown up now. I can take care of myself.".They hug me tightly, I hug them back. It's my flight already , I enetered the plane full of hope , hope that Gracelyn will be riding a plane back home with me. After ages of waiting, the plane landed and I get to set my foot in Australia. This is it ! I immediately look
Riley's POVThere is something wrong with the new nurse. He keeps on staring at Gracelyn whenever he has a chance. In terms of his responsibility and ability as a nurse, I can say he is superb. It's just that I feel bothered by the way he looked at Gracelyn."Do you happen to have a crush on Gracelyn?" I asked him. We are taking our rounds."Is it too obvious?" He whispered.I slapped my forehead in my mind. I am right. "You can't have a crush in her. She is mine". I glared at him and walked passed him .I leave him their with his jaw hanging and eyes wide open. How dare him. He is just a newbie and now he is trying to woo Gracelyn?I heard him shouting at me to wait for him after a minute but I ignore him and went to our office. "I can't be partner with that newbie. Let's exchange partner". I asked Resty."Why is that?" He raised his eyebrow at me."He is so arrogant"."Really? He is kind and good looking. He never even complained." Agnes butt in."Maybe, it's because he has a crus
Greg's POVA month has passed since the team building and seeing Gracelyn after what happened between us makes my heart aches everytime. So this maybe how she felt when I betrayed her and made a fool out of her. I want everything in my power to bring her back to my side but I don't want to force her. I want her to love me again like before- in her own accord. Her loving me without any reason, she just love me and I loved her without planning and realizing it. It just happened like magic.

I don't know if Riley heard our conversation that day but they've gotten closer since then. They look happy whenever they are together. So happy that I want to just leave Gracelyn alone with him. Here I am again ,crying in front of mom. Showing her my desperation. Showing her how vulnerable I am without Gracelyn."Mom, I am so confuse
Greg's POVFour years later after returning back home I am already a doctor graduate. I decided to be a doctor to help more people and cure their illnesses. My parents gave me their full support and assist me emotionally and financially. It is not an easy road but I made it and here I am today giving lecture in which I didn't expect Gracelyn to be one of my audience. I didn't know why she attended this seminar because I didn't had the free time to talk to her. After leaving her to be with Riley in Australia, I didn't know what happened between them because I didn't have the time to chat with our co-workers there. I busied myself because that's the only way I know to keep myself sane.The following day after the seminar, it's Roger's wedding day with Izzy."You are already beyond the calendar bro. You should find a girl and get marry", Roger teased.Today is his wedding day. I am his best man of course."I am giving her the chance to find me bro." I joked."Don't be hard to get becaus

Gracelyn's POV Now, we are officially together. I still have an unfinished contract in Australia so I need to go back. Greg understands but he said that it should be my last contract. I plan on staying in Australia with him but he can't leave his work here. I also loved my work in Australia but I guess one of us needs to give way. He will be the head of the house and will be the one to provide for our family so I decided to not renew my contract abroad and have him develop his career here. I need to give my full support to him because that is what wife is for."Three months is so long". Greg grunts."You've waited for four years so why not wait for another three months? Besides, we are already engaged.""I will be missing you dearly". he pouted."Me too. But I need to go back"."Fine. Promise me, when you come back.

Seeing her with Chris makes my heart ache but I don't know why.When I found out that Chris was just her friend I rejoice which it shouldn't be. I am already a married man for goodness sake. Many things were bothering me since I met them. I felt emotions I shouldn't have felt. But when my parents arrived all the things that bothered me came to light. I don't know if I should hate my parents for it. I don't know if I should follow Gracelyn when she walked out on us or stay with Riza. Due to the mixed emotions that I felt, I locked myself in the guest room."Greg, please open the door." Riza asked but I didn't dare move from my spot.I heard her si

"I got their number, in case you want to call them."I went inside. It's getting chilly."I don't know if I want to meet Greg again."I replied honestly."But you deserve to know the truth. You've waited for him for four long years.""His parents buried that truth long time ago. Even if let's say Greg lost his memory, his parents didn't. They know that he has a wife and a daughter waiting for him. Why let him have a second family?""I don't know Gracelyn." I looked at Chris."I am sorry that I am venting out to you."He shrugged and smile."Maybe, I really should give them a call."I decided and asked their number. "Hi! This is Gracelyn, Christ companion.
