Diana Rose POV-It was MIDDLE NIGHT when Ronald came home drunk. It’s such a relief that he drove without a single accident. I wiped Ronald’s upper body and changed his clothes, I put a blanket on him.“You shouldn’t be getting drunk like this.” I coldly said to him I didn’t know if he heard because his eyes were closed. “I’m going out.”I was about to stand up but Ronald grabbed my hand so I looked at him. Now his eyes are open and bulging from drunkenness. “Diana, I’m sorry.”I raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry, for what?”Did he really commit a sin? Did he really cheat? Thinking about that, I still can’t handle it. What if I see him with his other girls? From lying down, Ronald sat up and held both of my hands. He caressed it using his thumb. “Diana, you know that I love you very much. I love you so much that I’m afraid of losing you in my life. You and Miracle that I o
Diana Rose POV-As soon as Miracle said a happy ‘yehey’, I couldn’t do anything but let Alex join us in shopping for school supplies. Miracle bought little, but since we were already here, I bought some other things that Miracle wanted. “Mommy, there are so many colors.”“You can take everything you want, baby,” Alex said with a smile to Miracle, who was carrying her. I looked at Alex and he noticed the way I looked at him in his peripheral vision. “I mean, baby, you only take the most important things...” Alex retorted without looking at me. “Am I correct?” he asked me as he looked at me. “Yes.” Miracle pouted her lips and looked at the colors again. “It’s hard to choose again.”“This is it baby, the sixty-four crayons set, one hundred sixty-eight pencil crayons and the one hundred sixty-eight color marker pens.”Miracle’s eyes almost had stars in admiration of how Al
Diana Rose POV-“Bye, Miracle. I’ll pick you up before three in the afternoon, okay?” I told her, then kissed her on the forehead.“Bye, baby. Good luck on your first day of school.”“Thank you, mommy and Papa!”Miracle hugged us before entering the classroom.I followed Miracle until she entered the classroom.I don’t want to leave Miracle. What if she cries and then looks for me? What if someone fights with her and I’m not by her side to protect her?“Hey, why is the situation reversed?”I looked at Ronald with a revolt look.“I mean, why does it appear that you’re the one who doesn’t want to leave? Look at the other kids. Look at the other kids, they’re crying to their parents so their parents won’t leave them behind.”I rolled my eyes, then marched out.Ronald and I are still not on good terms or should I say that I still haven’t forgiven Ronald for hiding from me about Alex as his new engineer and making me feel he can’t trust me.I was about to stop the taxi when Ronald grabbed
Diana Rose POV-I sighed and cried every time I thought of the reason I couldn’t fix my problem with Ronald right away. I’m the one with the problem and I’m the one to blame.“Suddenly, I find my mind troubled by the brief period Alex and I spent together, as we seemed to be a happy family before moving here and also after our recent meeting.”Alex was right when he said we were like family. I just cut him off as he said that we are like family because that’s what my heart wants.“I feel like I’m betraying Ronald. I’m already engaged to Ronald, so I shouldn’t be thinking about Alex anymore.”“But no matter what you deny to yourself, you know Alex is still the one you love. Alex is the one you want to be with. Why don’t you cancel your engagement with Ronald as soon as possible?”I shook my head. “I can’t do that. Miracle has been with Ronald and Ronald has become Miracle’s father.”“How about your feelings? How about yourself?”I couldn’t answer that question.I can’t cancel our enga
Diana Rose POV-I can’t take my eyes off Alex while the other child girl is calling him daddy.Does he have a child the same age as Miracle? Does that mean all this time that Alex has own family?“Diana, why does it look like you saw a ghost?”The audacity to ask me that? After he made me hope we could form a family, yet he still has another family?I’m glad that I wasn’t moved by his sweet words before and what he did.“By the way, she’s my—”“I heard,” I interrupted, then smiled at him. “Your daughter.”“Yes, she’s my–”“Mommy!“Mommy!” the young girl shouted as Alex carried her.I followed the woman until she got close to Alex. Well, she is beautiful and sophisticated to look at. She looks like a decent woman. I wonder if she knows Alex has another child with me?“Alex, let’s go. You know, I’m in a hurry,” the woman said to Alex.“Ah, yes. Sorry, I forgot.”Alex looked at me, only then did the woman notice me.“We’re going first, Diana.”The woman looked at me from head to toe befo
Diana Rose POV-I became selfish and until the end, I only thought about my own feelings.I think breaking up with Ronald is the better and better choice I should make. It wouldn’t be right to keep Ronald in a relationship that I don’t believe I can handle.I just now realized that it was all my fault. I didn’t immediately think that Ronald couldn’t get out of our relationship. That’s why his world revolved around Miracle and me. I tried to let it into my mind that I could love Ronald, so I didn’t immediately let go of the relationship we had.Not only Ronald but also Miracle will be deeply hurt by my decision, but I have to do this before the wound I will leave deepens and before it lasts.Ronald doesn’t deserve a person like me who can’t return the love he gives to me, Miracle, and me. He deserves more, a person who will love him like what he is doing, and I am not that person.“What are you saying, Diana?”“I’m sorry, Ronald. I’m sorry if I let our relationship last, I’m sorry if
Diana Rose POV-I followed Miracle into her classroom until she entered. Unlike yesterday, she didn’t have the energy to come in today and it’s all my fault.I don’t know how much Miracle heard about Ronald and I’s conversation last night, but she said she saw I was hurting Ronald and because of that, Miracle was mad at me.I don’t want Miracle to know my decision like that, but no matter what I do to tell her, I will hurt her because of that.“I’ll take you?”I glanced at Ronald, who was still next to me.I also couldn’t help but feel guilty for what I did when I left Ronald last night while on my knees and by morning he even cooked breakfast for me and Miracle as if nothing had happened last night.“Not anymore. I’ll just take a taxi to the venue.”Isabelle called me this morning because she said she recommended me to someone she knows who is getting married here in Europe. She even begged for p
Diana Rose POV-When I saw the bride, I prepared myself for what I could feel.I don’t want to imply my feelings on the bride’s special day.“Cousin?”I asked if I heard correctly after Isabelle introduced me to the bride.“Yes,” there was doubt in Isabelle’s voice. “This is Alex’s cousin.”I giggled as Isabelle said that again.My heart seemed to explode with that shiver. Wow! What am I thinking?“Alex’s cousin?” I repeat.Isabelle’s introduction did not sink into my brain.“Yes. I’m sorry if I didn’t tell you sooner.”Suddenly I felt myself smile widely, which surprised the two.I cough in a fake manner to somehow ease the wide smile on my lips. “It’s fine. No worries at all. No problem.” I approached the bride and held both of her hands. “I will make you the most beautiful of all today. I will make your beauty dominate all the beauty that you have.”
