CHYNA
“WOW! What a beautiful sandcastle.”
The three little kids at the water playground seem surprised when I approached them. They gasped in unison as they turned to me.
“Look! There’s a goddess!”
“No! She’s a fairy!”
I smiled and bent over.
“No, I am actually a human. I just look like a goddess!” I joked at the three little kids. “I was waiting for the speed boat here that will send me there.”
I pointed at the floating structure in the middle of the ocean. That was a yacht in a round shape. It was a Hi-Tech structure with submerge that serves as an observation capsule.
I mentioned to Gian that I wanted to try the observation capsule. I missed watching the sea creatures. And there’s this stupid rule in Costa Galaxia that a pair must use the observation capsule. If a person didn’t get herself a partner, she or he can’t ride it. Gian willingly obliged himself to accompany me. He just needs
CHYNAMy smiles suddenly faded. I felt as if a hand was choking my heart tightly. Ever tightly. I hold my breath and tried hard not to give a reaction.It seems we have already come to an end. Those moments were just borrowed moments. He was always not mine. He has never been mine. The real owner was coming and would definitely claim what is hers.“Go ahead,” I told him.“But what about our plan?” Gian sounds in doubt.“There’s a lot of men here. I can randomly ask any of them.”“No. You are not going with other men, Chyna.” Gian firmly said. His face suddenly turned grim.“And what is it to you?”Gian was stunned. He seems to be thinking, what is he going to say.“Well, you have a boyfriend and—"“Yeah. How could I forget?” I feigned laughter. “I should be calling him now and invites him here. That wou
GIAN“I HAVE warned you, Gian. If you can’t stand Chyna, then stop approaching her! What an asshole you are!? Look what you’ve done to her?”I could not move. I was just watching Rizzi, who was busy attending to Chyna. She was drunk and had fallen asleep. Rizzi was Lenard’s wife and Dasha’s best friend. The three women grew very close to each other, and I would not be surprised why Rizzi was overprotective with Chyna.I just arrived in Costa Galaxia. I picked up Camille at the airport and went straight here. Camille had been planning on taking a vacation here at Costa Galaxia. It took her that long to do it because of her schedule. She is an international model. I brought Camille to Sands Hotel 2 before going to cluster 9 to take a break.I was planning on my next move when I heard Rizzi on the phone and heard something urgent about Chyna.To my deep worry, I went first to the Galactic Bar
CHYNAMy tears fell while hugging her. I understand what she means, but I can’t take her advice. It was just hard to do it. I was a fool, I know.But there are no wise men when they were in love.My tears made their own sound, and Rizzi just caressed me lightly until I calmed.I only calmed for a while, but when I remembered Gian, I keep crying again. When are these tears would stop?I just hoped, maybe this time, the pain would lessen. I thought the alcohol would help me. But it didn’t.“Relax yourself. There’s a lot of things to do here aside from drinking. Cheer up!”Rizzi left me. I just sighed.It seems I have tried everything to cut Gian away from my system, but it was just hard to do it.Why was it so hard to move on?“Stupid heart. What am I going to do with you?” I frustratingly sighed again.I faced the food and tried to eat.
CHYNAWhy did she appear not threatened?‘She trusted me…’I remembered Gian’s words.Trust.Did she really trust him that much? That asshole might have changed a lot to earn that kind of trust.And that was the thing I don’t have. How can I give him my whole trust when he was cheating in front of me?I was such a nagging companion.I was just a companion, yet I nagged like a jealous girlfriend. Gian might have been gone tired of me for acting possessive all the time.I should take half of the blame on why do we end up just like that.“You’re not worried?” I confirmed.I just can’t believe it. I mean, I am a girl too. It’s natural for a woman to be suspicious of her partner.“As a matter of fact…” Camille stopped when the server took her order. “Mocca latte.” She w
GIAN EXCITED I climb up from the main pool. Our team won the championship of the water polo game. But I got dismayed when it was Camille who greeted me first. She kissed me.“Congratulations, babe! Your team was great!”I force a smile. “Thanks, babe.”I wanted to smash down myself. The feeling was wrong. I shouldn’t be feeling this way towards my girlfriend. But I can’t help anticipates it was Chyna who would greet me first. I saw her at the bleacher at the side part of the pool complex. She was cheering our team, I guess.In the first half of the game, I was not myself while playing. But I get energized when I saw Chyna. I felt like a teenager who joined the varsity team and was trying to show off to my crush.I missed her. I badly missed her.“I had to approach my teammates. I'll just ask something.”I hurriedly went to my team. They were in a fr
GIAN Camille and I went to Orange Cup Café for lunch. After eating, I started a conversation. I was still nervous, but I made up myself. “It is so hard for me to do this. But I need to.” I sighed. I have to think about this many times. And I have come up with a decision already. “What do you mean?” Camille seems confused. I frustratingly sighed and looked at her intently. I took a deep breath. I was about to open my mouth to say something when I heard a commotion somewhere from our back. I turned around when I heard Chyna's name. I got worried when I heard Rizzi’s panic voice. “Take care of the kids, honey. I need to attend to Chyna at EMG.” Rizzi seems to be in a panic. “What happened?” “I don’t know. The staff said she was bleeding. I need to hurry.” Anxious, I stood up and was about to follow Rizzi. My heart was beating fast. I was worried and nervous about what happened to Ch
CHYNA “Just to show off.” Flynn explained. “Oh.” I sighed. “Really. It’s just a trick. And I am not into dating again. Not yet. I was still tired. My heart was still tired.” “I can guess. I just want to cheer you up. If ever you need me, I'm willing to help. Just give me a call.” Flynn was trying to lighten my mood. I know. But I suddenly started tearing. Damn these stupid tear glands. Don’t they get tired of working for a new batch of tears? “You want a hug?” I don’t know why I nodded. I just need someone to hold me. And just about a second, he enveloped me inside his arms. But the feeling was different. I still love how Gian holds me. It seems I only belong inside Gian's arms. I was about to lay my head on Flynn’s shoulder when I saw Gian from the glass panel wall. From my seat, I could see him staring back at me. He looks like he had a lot of things to tell, but he can’t until Cam
GIAN“I remember when you heard my name, you automatically became interested in me. It’s not hard to predict that you only got interested in me because of my name. And that was also because of Chyna. It was always Chyna, Gian. You've lost interest in anything unless it was about Chyna. You only cared and think about her.”I wanted to say something. Console her. Ease her pain. But how am I going to do that if every she just said were all true? How can I deny it? I know denying wouldn’t solve the problem.“I love you, Gian. That’s why I am taking all the pain. I thought if I am patient, I could replace Chyna. But I was wrong. You nevertheless stopped loving her. She never stopped loving you. I knew it. I saw it the way you look at each other. And it hurts. It was so… so painful seeing my boyfriend was still in love with his ex. I am your presen
