THE YEAR 1994She bowed down her head through the guard as she ran up towards the auditorium while Paul was left alone on the seat again. Little did she know, that Paul was awake the time she stood up in front of him. He slowly opened his eyes and was staring at the trees that were rustling in front of him while the tears were welling up in his eyes. He heard the loud beating of her heart when his head was on her shoulders, and he knew that she had been longing for him. He closed his eyes as he felt the pain right through his heart as he put his elbows on his knees. He didn't know what to do as he glanced around the area while he covered his eyes with his hands. The tears escaped simultaneously with the daggers that stuck through his heart while he howled through. He knew that he doesn't have to get back with the way they broke up, and he knew that he couldn't even afford forgiveness f***THE YEAR 1994He was alarmed by their family driver and he bowed down his head when he saw that he was fixing something on their car outside of the mansion. He pursed his lips as he didn't say a single word and opened the smaller door towards the outside of their house. He swallowed constantly as he looked up through the pillars of the office of his father."Why does this house feels empty every time I go home?" Paul muttered as he looked down at his shiny shoes that had been smacked with dirt because of how the night had been with him yesterday. He sighed as he walked through the lawns and saw the gardeners busy trimming the bushes on the garden. The garage had been packed with their family cars and so on and he knew that his father was not home.When he reached the front door, he saw his elder sister, Phoebe Sy, with his apron on, straw hats,
***THE YEAR 2019Marian scoffed through her place as the truth came out from his lips. It was Danny's father who wanted this kind of thing, not her mother. Marian looked the other way as she bit her lip and didn't know what to think anymore. Paul gritted his teeth as he continued, "Okay. I will admit it to you since you are the future bride of my son, I was the one who established the plan because I want your parent's minds."Marian snickered through as she couldn't believe what she was hearing while she revulsed, "I knew it from the very start, Mr. Sy. But do you know why my parents wanted this to agree with you so badly? Because they want your resources and everything. It's a win-win event for you and my parents, but for us...."Marian chuckled through her place as she shook her head repetitively and she couldn't believe what she just had heard. She looked down for a second while she clu
***THE YEAR 2019She sniffed as she followed him over the elevators. She ran inside and saw that Paul went downstairs so fast and she followed suit. Paul ran over the ground floor while his mind was buzzing with the information that he knew and he didn't know that Jane's son had that kind of disorder. She didn't even place it right on her resume 17 years ago when he hired her as his youngest son's nanny. He swallowed as he reached the emergency room and went inside while Danny's friends were looking at him surprisingly.Hazi pointed at him and opened his mouth slightly as Paul went inside the emergency room while he was swallowing constantly. He found Jane sitting down on the stool while holding Danny's hands through the bed and he walked slowly on the foot of his son's bed. Jane was looking at Danny for a long time and as she shifted her eyes towards her side, she widened her eyes when she s
***THE YEAR 2019"You should have said it to me the first time you applied as my maid. So I would know right then and there that you have a problem," Paul mumbled softly as Stan clutched the hem of his jacket. He furrowed his eyebrows by that saying and he averted his eyes towards the two of them."So I could help in any way I can, Jane," Paul added as Jane shook her head repetitively and looked at him with those glinting eyes. It was not the same anymore, Paul thought. It was not the same as she looked before, it was full of confusion, puzzlement, rage, and sadness. He couldn't understand what she was trying to say with those eyes. Jane clenched her jaw as she asked, "Would you still hire me if I said? I think not. Because you will just pity me forever for having this kind of life."Paul shook his head as he rebutted,
***THE YEAR 2019Paul knuckled his fists by that realization on how she answered and he was surprised to hear it from her. He knuckled his fists while he placed his hands through his back. He did not know what to do as he brushed his forehead and he looked down while doing it. He nodded as he knew that he was not in the right place for him to realize everything. He just glanced at Jane once again as he said, "Yeah, you're right. I am not in the business to ask that."He smiled sadly as Jane didn't know what to do and she knew that Paul didn't even have the guts to follow her that day to apologize. She zipped her mouth shut tight and she doesn't want to ask the question towards her. She just glanced at her feet as she knew that it was time to turn around and left her like a fool on the lot while Paul was still mustering up the courage to ask, "If I am not like thi
***THE YEAR 2019"Stan was there for you after I left. And I am glad to him that he did that and God gave him to you. Because I know, you will not be left alone again like you used to," Paul added as he wiped the tears from his eyes while he was taking two steps forward towards her. Jane didn't know what to say as she knew that he was approaching. It feels like a goodbye for the both of them, letting go of the things they had been together and she knew that it was this perfect time.Paul quickly held the side of her face and inched his lips closer to her forehead. It was the only time she felt Paul's touch and he knew that it was the right time to do this. All of the times they had been together, it's time to let go of their feelings through the air. He planted a soft kiss through her forehead as she sobbed and raised her hand. She clutched the hem of her coat as she knew
***THE YEAR 2019"So why did you hide it? It's better to know the truth than you hide it with so much pain through your heart! I knew that I had to ask this for the first time, but please, you did not just leave me for nothing!" Jane shouted as the thunder cracked and the lightning lighted upon the clouds. She clenched her jaw as she looked the other way while gritting her teeth. The cold breeze gusted upon the lot and they didn't even bother the coldness that they both felt through their bare arms. They both stared into each other's eyes as Jane gritted her teeth in rage."For me, it's better to hide it since I knew how you had been hurt with your mother and brother. I don't want to be a burden to you, Jane," Paul said softly as he felt the chill down through his spine. He looked down as he could not meet the gaze that Jane was giving him. It was full of
***THE YEAR 2019Paul retrieved his hand from the rain and glanced at her. They both stood apart as Jane smiled and muttered, "Thank you because of what happened to us. Those four years had been my happiest, and you will forever hold a special place in my heart. I knew that you know that, and it's time to let go. So our memories will be forever cherished once again."Jane smiled happily as Paul did the same thing. They both breathed out as their talk started with her son being like that and had lead to their own reconcilement. He was glad that it happened, that Marian's tongue slipped through and he was glad that he had the time to confront everything. The truth might come out, but he knew that it was for the best. Stan was listening through the glass doors and he smiled also as he glanced. She saw that Jane's eyes were now reconciled with the loathing she felt towards
