"I am still in debt to you, Ma'am Jane, about the one you did yesterday, and I wanted to repay you for that," Marian mumbled through as Jane shook her head even though she knew that Marian couldn't see it.She swallowed as she responded back, "I am not doing this because I know what will happen. I know what this marriage will have to do with the relationship you have with Danny." Marian was still seeing that painful look through her mind and she doesn't know what to feel anymore. Jane must have been glaring right through Danny's father because of what he did back then ages ago. Jane was still thinking of the happy memories she had been with Paul, and she knew that she would still hold on with that memories right on her mind. "Paul and I had been separated by these marriages, and I knew, Marian, that you did not love Danny," Jane said the obvious as the tears welled upright through Marian's e
***THE YEAR 2019He ran towards the exit while bumping up with someone. He quickly apologized from the one he bumped into and bowed down his head. He ran towards the other side of the street as he stepped through the side of his car. He climbed inside and sneak inside of his car while slamming the steering wheel on his seat. He knew that Marian didn't want him and yet, she was consoling the one who confessed his feelings outright through her. Danny drooped his head down through the wheel while the tears brimmed in his eyes.He stepped on the gas pedal as he zoomed out of the narrow street towards the highway. He gritted his teeth as he pulled the lever on his side while wiping the tears from his eyes rashly. He zoomed out of the highway for the second time and stopped at a night's bar that was owned by his father. He halted abruptly on the car while he looked forward and glared right through the sunlight that he had seen.
***THE YEAR 2019Marian will marry him, but does it change anything? It will only worsen the situation and bridge their relationship. He will not let the marriage destroy both of their relationship with each other, and he knew that it will be so much hurtful. He sobbed uncontrollably as he poured the contents down to his throat while seeing the way Marian hugged Hazi. He knew that he dearly loved her childhood best friend that made Danny questioned himself, "I don't know why it could not be me. Why, Marian?"He sobbed through as the workers were still glancing towards his direction. They didn't know how to intefere with him as he howled through the inside of the bar while he draped his arms through the table. His face was still grimaced as he held onto his head through the table while he cried. He turned off his phone with his right hand because he doesn't want anyone to call him fr
***THE YEAR 2019Hazi nodded as he sighed and leaned back on his seat while Marian propped up herself on walking through the cashier. She put her hands by her chin as she waited through the line while glancing back at Hazi. He smiled back sadly as he retrieved his cell phone from his pockets and saw that he had a missed call from Danny. He didn't know that his phone was silent as he dialed his number once again. He raised his eyebrows as he was so confused on why Danny was not answering. Marian moved through the line as she smiled through the cashier and pointed through the Korean chicken and fried rice that Hazi would like to eat.Hazi grasped his cell phone tightly as he creased his forehead and worried about his best friend about this time. He didn't know that Danny was resorted himself from not answering him. Was it because of Marian? He furrowed his eyebrows and he was startled by the presence
***THE YEAR 2019 "Danny, Hazi is so worried about you. Please, answer the phone."Hazi was so anxious as he turned to Marian and said, "You should finish the food by now. We should go to his house for a better check. I'm sure Danny is drinking somewhere."Hazi picked up the utensil once again and he quickly scooped up a large amount of rice from the bowl as Marian did the same thing. They didn't know where was Danny, and they needed to check as Hazi picked up his cell phone once again to call Sandy and Simon simultaneously. He didn't know what to do as he muttered on the phone while saying, "Sandy, Simon. I am so worried about Danny right now. He was not answering any of my calls, you should try to call for him too."Marian observed how anxious his face was and she smiled a
***THE YEAR 2019Paul was so surprised to hear it from his son that made him furrowed his eyebrows more and didn't even bother to say any more words. He just clenched his jaw and nod his head while Danny was crying at a safe distance."You wanted to have that kind of life when in fact the one you have right now was the one everyone wanted? Is that what you're saying to me? As a son?" Paul retorted back to him that made Danny looked at him sharply. They both glanced at each other with that kind of stare and the workers were still watching them behind their backs. Paul couldn't believe what he just had heard from his son right in the broad daylight. He wanted to say that he was sorry for not saying that his nanny was his ex-girlfriend and first love, and he wanted to apologize for hiding it so much from the past.Danny nodded at his place and he doesn't know what t
***THE YEAR 2019Sandy and Simon didn't wait for the time to be up and walked through the exit of the emergency room. They saw that the nurse and Paul climbed out of the ambulance car as soon as they came. Marian huffed some air as she saw how lifeless Danny's face was today and they came through the entrance while the nurses were shouting with each other. Marian's eyes bobbed with little tears as they stopped through the benches on the outside of the emergency room. Paul also did the same thing as he pursed his lips.He doesn't know what to do but to wait and sat down through the bench. He just wanted to stay away from Jane as possible because he knew that he will be running over to her once again. Marian also did the same thing as Hazi, Sandy and Simon didn't know what to feel because of what happened through their friend inside the emergency room. They just sat down across from them as they s
***THE YEAR 2019 .Marian was so surprised to hear that from his mouth and she darted her eyes everywhere. She doesn't know what to do anymore as the elevator doors opened through the deserted hallways of the rooftop. She glanced through that as she couldn't say something through the glance that Paul made. She just swallowed as she looked down through her feet and didn't know what to say. Paul clenched his jaw as he asked once again, "I asked you once again Marian, is it true that you know something?"Marian raised her hand to glanced through the exit of the elevators and she said, "I will say it to you after we had retreated through the rooftop. Don't you want to talk about it through there, Mr. Sy?"Paul calmed his face down as he stood upright and straightened the polo shirt that he was wearing. He walked outside of the elevators right before Marian
***THE YEAR 2019Marian 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 clutched the hem of her slacks through. The sun shone behind the clouds as she bit her lip while she said, "For me and Danny, this could be the loss of our lives."Marian knew from the very start that she was going to throw away all of her dreams just to be married off to someone that she doesn't love. Marian looked down as the tears streamed down her eyes while she covered her mouth with her hands. She doesn't know what to feel anymore, it looks like Paul had to be the one who pushed all of it through her mother. Her mother was the only one who was eager to continue it because someone just started it."Look here, Mr. Sy. I was right with what I was thinking earlier, that you were
***THE YEAR 2019, one month after Jordan Mendoza died.The engagement party for Danny Sy and Marian Aguinaldo.The golden brushes were laid down on the dressing room of Marian as she was sitting down on the couch, with her hair fixed up in a bun. She was looking at her bare face at the reflection, and melancholy music was playing over the speaker by the side. She was at the dressing and vacant room of the Sy's mansion, waiting for the makeup artists, who will be painting her face to make her glamorous.Marian stared back at the grieving eyes looking back at her. This was it. The time she would be marrying someone she doesn't want to be off. She just wanted a happy life, wherein she could decide what will happen to her life. She sighed as she glanced at the door, it opened, and someone came inside.She was holding a black bag in her hand. She was als
***THE YEAR 2019, the burial of Jordan MendozaPaul was left alone on the side of the hallway as Marian stood still and averted her eyes towards the other way. She sighed as she looked down at her feet and she doesn't know what to feel. She had never experienced being without parents or something, but for ma'am Jane, she lost them both."I never thought that the smile I will never see was with my father," Jane shook her head as she glanced the other way and she cried while Danny was looking up from his seat. He saw the name of Jane's father as he heard weeping on the other side."That was when the time I saw him smile 2 months ago... it took so fast for me to realize that it was the last smile I would ever see from his lips," Jane cried as she closed her eyes tightly and she remembered the time when she had to undergo that crisis once aga
***THE YEAR 2019, the burial of Jordan MendozaJane was wearing a collared ivory shirt, while she was holding the marble and gray jar close to her chest, as she walked down towards the hallways. The maids from the mansion were also there, paying their condolences and wishing that the soul could rest in peace after it had been buried. The emotions were clear from her face as she walked very slowly, while Justin was holding a white rose in his hands. He was behind his mother, as he looked down and the tears trickled down once more. Marian was also there, and she had been perceived to be there when she knew that Justin wouldn't have someone to lean closer to. She looked the other way as Jane walked past ahead of her while sobbing. They stopped in front of the priest in the hallways and bowed down their heads. The chrysanthemums and orchids were lined up on the table as the priest held onto the microphone han

Paul huffed an air as he pocketed his cell phone on the pockets of his coat and he glanced at the building. He walked towards the porch as he stepped on the front lobby and said, "Let's go."Paul was the first one to walk ahead as he breathed out. His son was puzzled about his rush and he knew that his father was so worried about his nanny. Danny followed suit as Hazi turned his heel around also and they rushed to get through the lobby. Paul was the first one to press the buttons on the side. He ran towards the steps and he was rushing as he placed his hands on the buttons as he waited for his son and Hazi to come inside.Justin was sobbing as he wiped the tears and stood up fr

I thought you had to take a guard with both Justin and Marian."Hazi didn't answer any about it and he knew that he had to unfold what happened in the last two months after the arranged marriage plan. They don't have anything to do with the arranged marriage and Marian's mother had a knack to still push what happened on that established plan. Danny and Hazi took some time to delved into the silence in between them. He sighed as he glanced the other way and knew that he had to ask what happened with the plan."Marian's dream to be a professor at Birschet International School is now coming true," Hazi was the first one to initiate the topic as he knew that Danny would like to keep his mouth shut tight

She swallowed as she wiped the handkerchief on her face while the tears were streaming down on her face. She glimpsed at the doors shut tight as she knew that her son was now inside the morgue. Marian looked at her worriedly as she pursed her lips while she glanced out of the way. She bit her lip as she looked the other way.Justin halted abruptly in his place as the doctor removed the blanket over his head. He bowed down his head completely as he glanced the other way while still huffing some air over his mouth. He saw how blue his skin now was, the white hairs were still on his hair, not moving, his feet were now parallel with one another, and his chest was not breathing up and down.Justin walked
***THE YEAR 2019, the results from Birschet International School had been released, 2 months afterDanny swallowed as he glanced at the other way and soothed both of her arms with his hands. Jane sobbed as the doors finally opened and someone came out from there. He was wearing a surgical mask and a blue uniform. He wore off the mask from his mouth and glanced at the people outside. Danny whispered to his nanny that the doctor finally came out and Jane quickly stood up from her seat. Justin also did the same thing as Hazi and Marian followed suit. Jane glanced at the doctor as she placed her hands on her chest while asking, “Can I see my father now?” The forensic doctor nodded as he instructed something while Jane was nodding her head. Only one can come in inside the morgue as the doctor said that they should wait for minutes. Jane hurried inside while the tears we

Justin grabbed a hold of her wrists and smiled at her. He put it down on her sides while Marian’s inner brows were raised. She swallowed as Justin turned his heel around and didn’t have the time to speak any more words towards Marian. Hazi was left alone with Marian as she smiled at him. “Let’s go,” Hazi said simply as he followed Justin inside. Marian pursed her lips and followed Hazi behind.

Danny sighed as Jane was still weeping beside him. Danny turned his head towards her while he swallowed and said, “Everythin
***THE YEAR 2019, the results of Birschet International School had been released, 2 months afterJustin was left alone at the swing while remembering that scene. He placed his fists on the sand while he punched it over and over again but the pain won't go aside from his heart. He shook his head as he finally sat down in a curling position while he howled in the center."Grandpa... why?" Justin asked himself in a crying voice while he propped up his arms wrapped around his knees while he cuckooed his head in between. He was surprised with what he did but he knew that he couldn't know what he will do. The thunder cracked together with the lightning on the clouds while he was still sitting down on that sandbox. He doesn't care if he will be soaked with sweat or rain now, he just knew that he was in pain, and he couldn't move. He felt numb, resentment over the one that was ru
