I was once broken. I built a wall to prevent getting hurt. He came. Destroyed the wall. And now, for the second time. I am ruined. -Ayesha Samaniego
View MoreHell, this is life.
"Fvck! This is the literal pleasure. Wooooh !!" I shouted as I swayed along with the loud play of the bar.
"Damn, Ayesha! We don’t have a driver again!" my friend Cassandra laughed at me as she accompanies my movements.
I just smiled in my mind as I saw her smiling.
I invite her here because I want her to breathe. I feel like I am the one who is having a hard time with her situation, very chaotic.
"Is there nothing ?! Let me find an instant driver later! AHAHA!" I shouted back.
"Yeah, driver above you!" she answered immediately and we both laughed.
This one also has a sore mouth, but that is the only thing that is bad for her. Because even I turned the world upside down, this one is very innocent when it comes to bad things. Tsk!
"You're a future fortune teller HAHAHA!"
"Let's have another drink first!" she nursed me and dragged me to the bar counter.
"The strongest hard drink," Cassandra and I said to the bartender.
"It's been 2 years Ayesha, you still can't move on with your ex?" she broke the silence and then slammed the counter.
Move on?
How to do that?
Why is it that every time I tried, I still come back to the beginning?
"There are probably things in the world that we will never forget," I said with my bitter language and raw smile.
"He's stupid," my friend replied angrily then drank her wine.
We continued drinking until we both became wasted. This is what I want, to get drunk so I can forget even just for a while.
Because of the alcohol in my system I dare Cassandra to body shot with a stranger. I made her do it because I want her to know what she really feels.
Was it affection or love?
Little later I pushed Cassandra to go to the man I pointed out. I just smiled as I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes because of the dizziness.
*flashback*
"What are you two doing?" I asked Ivann, my boyfriend for 1 and a half year.
He texted me to come to his condo and then I found them hugging while sitting and watching tv. Wow!
My knees began to twitch but I tried to calm myself.
Let him talk Ayesha you might just be in a thinking wrong.
His eyes looked at me without emotion before looking at the person next to him who was hugging his waist.
"Hugging my girlfriend," he said in the matter of fact tone which made my heart pierced into pieces.
I clung to the door because my knee weakened then looked at them again. They are still holding each other like I'm not here in their sight.
"What the fvck is the meaning of this?" I could not believe it while holding back my tears that were about to fall.
Ivann let out a sigh before touching the face of the woman with him then glared at me. "Let's break up Ayesha, I'm in love with my best friend," he uttered and kissed her in front of me.
*reality*
I slowly opened my eyes as my tears fell down.
Why do I always remember that scene at my drunk state? It's been two fvcking years and I still couldn't move. Damn it!
I wiped away my tears and glanced at Cassandra's direction again. I frowned when I didn't see her.
Where the fvck is she?
When my eyes really could not see her I decided to stand up to look for her even though I was very drunk.
I was about to get out in the VIP room when I bumped into someone causing my imbalance. I was expecting to fall to the floor but that did not happen because of the hot arm wrapped around my waist. He quickly turned me back causing me to sink into his massive chest.
A man. With that thought I distance myself and glance at him.
I tried my best to stop my chin to drop, hell the man in front of me is a goddess for fvck’s sake. The three buttons of his polo shirt are open so I can see his chest slightly so I averted my eyes.
"Thanks," I said sparingly and then tried to walk away from him.
I don't have time for men. It's funny to think that my friend thinks I'm a playgirl even though the truth is I never interacted with any man again.
"I'll take you home.” It was the man's baritone voice.
He was going to pass me so I automatically stopped and looked at him in amazement. He looks familiar, where did I see him?
Even though many different lights hit his face, his gray eyes still did not pass me by. His nose was piercing and his lips were red. I swallowed and looked away as my mind began to move around him.
I am dangerous in his presence ..
"Her husband picked up your friend and told me to take you home," he explained to me.
I silently groaned when he told me that. Why the fvck did they left me with a stranger?
Is this how karma really works?
I looked at the man without emotion even though his presence caused me some nervousness. I faked a smile then composed myself.
"Thank you Mr. whoever you are. You can go home, I can take care of myself," I mumbled with a smile, trying hard not to offend him.
His jaw clenched and checked me from head to toe. "Are you planning to take a cab with that condition lady?"
I fell silent and nodded in response.
I could see the quick resistance in his eyes before licking his lip. I was stunned a bit by his action.
Control, Ayesha, control.
"It's not safe, whether you like it or not you're coming with me lady," he uttered and grabbed my hand as we walked together.
I am not even safe with this delicious creature!
I just pulled one of my hands over my head as we continued walking out.
What madness is happening to me? After 2 years of being no effect on me by men no matter how handsome they are or muscled now I just want this again.
This is not good.
He quickly put me in his car and immediately fitted the seatbelt before he turned to the driver's seat.
Yeah, this is really not good especially when I can smell the feminine scent in her car.
It's either he's taken or a playboy ..
My whole instinct shouting danger at his presence. Fvck it! I'm so drunk that I couldn't do anything.
"Address?" he simply asked.
"Samaniego Heights," I answered then leaned on the seat of his car.
My vision is spinning that's why I closed my eyes and played the scene I was trying to forget for over this years.
Why am I being like this?
He is the one who left but I am the one who tortures myself, he is the one who fooled but I am the one who never forget.
This shouldn't be like this.
I am Ayesha Samaniego and I should not fall just because of the man. My beauty is so beautiful and two years of squabbling is enough.
It's time to lift myself up. If he is happy now, alas! I should too. With that thought I opened my eyes and glanced at the guy I'm with.
He was driving seriously when his grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
No wonder he got my attention. Who doesn't? he was very handsome and very elegant.
"Did someone already tell you that staring is rude?" he said and gaze at me.
I raised my brow and gave him a mocking smile. "Sorry but that's not in my vocabulary," I said while still checking him out.
He smirked before focusing on the road. "Then what's in your vocabulary?" he asked.
A playful smile appeared on my lips as I get near him. I could see his forehead furrowed back to me then on the road.
"Holding this is rude," I mumbled as I touched his crotch.
He automatically step the break. "Fvck!" he cursed and glared at me.
I shrugged before adjusting to sitting again. A victory smile plastered on my lips.
"Are you playing with me woman?" he asked in monotone.
I secretly smiled before looking at him and pretending to be innocent.
"What play are you talking about?" I asked playing innocent, I licked my lips as I tried to pout.
This is why I hate alcohol.
He clenched his jaw as his gray eyes darkened watching me.
"I haven't even played it yet," I said smirking while looking at his sword.I was sleeping peacefully when my phone rang.I groaned and scanned where I fucking put my phone and answered it without seeing who it was."Please do me a favor." My forehead knotted as I opened my eyes and slowly sit on my bed. That was the first thing he told me the moment I answered the phone call."What now Ivann?" I seriously asked.I heard him sigh before dropping the bomb."I'm sick," he mumbled that made me frozen in feet."Then fucking take a medicine," I hissed when I recovered my composure."I'm flying to America tomorrow," he informed me."Drop the favor," I simply said; looking tired from these shit I'm hearing."Guard my ex, Daevon, " he mumbled in low pitch voice.I creased my forehead, still my phone was close to my ear."You mean stalk her?" I sarcastically asked."I owe you big time for this. I just want to make sure that she won't do anything stupid," he stated."You mean kill her
We all went together at the same time when we were now rested.We're all happy to see her kicking well and had the kids go home early with Auntie while we stayed behind."So mind to tell me what's happening?" Cassandra asked, breaking the silence betwen us all."We're good," Daevon answered.My face quickly flushed red; feeling all the warmth going towards my face. That's not what she meant when asked!"Really? But I remember you saying it once before that you will make him cry," my friend said teasingly.My eyes widened.Fuck you, girl!I felt Azaia, secretly laughing at the sideline.I mouthed bitch to Cassandra before raising one of my eyerbrows at her.I turned towards Azaia, rolling my eyes. "You're laughing at me, traitor," I said and pursed my lips; sulking.She laughed once again before looking at the curious Cassandra.She started narrating what happened to her, the sameway Andre
After a day, I was immediately discharged. Daevon quickly got me a check up at the OB so we can get an update over my pregnancy.We both let out a sigh of relief when I found out that our baby was normal and I was healthy. It feels like something warm touched my heart when I saw the teary-eyed Daevon. He was staring at the small monitor, looking at an image of a baby.He looked at me and mouthed thank you with so much emotions in his eyes. I just smiled at him in return.We ate first at a restaurant before coming home. As the gate swung open, I saw my baby running towards me. She gave me a tight hug and kissed me."I miss you, Mommy," she mumbled and embrace me tighter.I hug her back with the same ferocity and kissed her forehead.After she was finished with me she turned to glance at her dad and reached out her little hands to be carried in his arms.They exchange the same imissyou's and have a littl
DAEVON'S POVIt’s been a few hours yet until now she’s not yet waking up. What happened earlier really drained her.I heard a knock on the door before my friend Xenoah came insicde. I only gave him a thin smile as he patted my shoulder.“I owe you a lot,” I said emotionally and turned to look at my wife again laying on the hospital bed.I felt his presence still there, gazing at Ayesha for a few seconds.“She really loves you,” he said.A bitter smile crept into my lips as I closed my eyes.“I don’t know if I should be happy or not by that,” I weakly uttered under my breath.I gently caressed her face.“Because of her love for me, she almost lost her life. Not only her but also…” I gulped and turned to look at her stomach. “…our soon to be second child,” I added.I felt Xenoah’s hand patting my shoulder again.“I didn’t expect what she did. I know she loves me but I didn’t think she’d pick me over her own life,” I nar
After our emotional breakdown finished, we both fix ourselves and talk everything that we missed for the past four years."How about your pregnancy? Raising her alone with your two friends… was it hard?" he asked calmly while holding onto my hand.My other hand had been helping me munch away some chips while my head was leaning on his chest. We were both sitting on the sofa, watching movies on the television.I stopped to put the chip in my mouth for a second. “I was diagnosed with post-partum,” I said, uttering weakly.I felt him stiffened and then massaged my hand when he regained his composure back.“You know, I only have my instincts at that time. I believe that Ivann and I didn't do it but still I couldn’t erase the fact that there was a chance t-that she's Ivann's child,” I added.I felt his hold tightened. I stared blankly on the television with a sad smile looming my face.“One week. It was a total of one week, I didn’t look
I woke up disoriented. I quickly got out from my bed when I noticed the unfamiliar sight of the whole room. I suddenly tried to recall what happened until I remembered him carrying me last night.Daevon brought me here?I tried to calm myself down. This is a condo unit type with a simple yet elegant style. I heard some sounds coming from the other room and so I walked towards it. As I got closer and closer to the area, the voices become clearer.“I thought you’re not coming back anymore,” a man’s voice said.I never been nosy before but something tells me I need to listen to their conversation. I kept my distance, enough just so I can hear them. I heard some sizzling sound. Someone is cooking.“I just want to show her where I had been for the past four years,” I heard Daevon responded.So he didn’t come home before?“How about that other girl? What was her name again? Ellaine? Yeah, that’s it,” the other man’s voice asked casually.
It’s already late yet Daevon is still in our house. He’s playing with my daughter in the living room while the three of us stood there in the kitchen, talking among ourselves.“So what’s your plan?” my dad asked casually while drinking his coffee. Both of them were eyeing me, waiting for me to speak.I only cupped my chin using my hand and massaged my temple.“I don’t know. I need to talk to him first,” I said before looking at them.My mom smiled at me thinly and gently patted me on my shoulder. “Everything will be okay,” she reassured. “I can feel it, he still loves you so give him a chance.”A sad smile roamed my lips and let out a sigh.You got your gut feeling wrong, mom.I shook my head. As I was beginning to be lost in thoughts, I suddenly felt a presence behind my back.“Let’s talk,” a baritonic voice said.I can feel the same fear crawling down my chest but I tried to remove it. I turned to him with a life
"Is this real?" my daughter asked. Her eyes couldn’t stop from widening and gasping as waters started forming in her eyes.We’re currently inside our room where she watched the video I showed her. I only forced myself to smile and nodded.Hi honey. How are you? Take care always.“D-Daddy,” she called out and tears started streaming down her little rosy cheeks. I then immediately embraced her into a tight hug. It’s been a week since I gathered all of my strength and went with my plan.I decided to arrange everything now about my daughter but I still need to prepare Daeshaia with whatever happens. I made sure to ask Daevon for one take of a video.*flashback*“Ah…Daevon?” I called out after we ate. “Can you do me a favor?” I felt him squeeze my hand gently under the table.He then looked at me with a serious look on his face. “As long as it’s not to let go of you, then sure,” he said. I gasped for a second with what he said but quickly r
I stared blankly at my office the whole morning. It feels like I’ve been played all along.He was not there that day.Then if that was the case… what was that thing I encountered four years ago?Did… Ellaine planned it all along?I shook my head. I don’t want to think negative words about someone but there’s still a possibility.Why would she do that?I was out of my reverie when I heard a knock. The door then swung open gently and whom appeared in front of me was none other than Daevon.I froze for a second when I saw him holding onto a bouquet of rose as he approached me.He thinly smiled at me and put down the flowers onto my table.“T-Thanks,” I uttered weakly while looking at it. I then turned to look at him.“I change my mind,” he said in a low pitch voice while staring at me. I gulped, feeling as if something was stuck in my throat.“What do you mean?” I asked. I almost thanked God for not letting me stutter.
