“Is that really you?” I asked, not on my right mind. He have changed a lot! “Why? Are you shock that I’m way handsome than before?” he joked, I shooked my head as I laughed. “Have you eaten?” I asked him, he shooked his head. “I ordered already, I’m just waiting for it,” he answers. I didn’t expect that his changes will make him so attractive! We lost our communication for seven years, and here he is, standing in front of me without awkwardness. Ethan is my friend, my long bestfriend to be exact. We’ve met in our province but suddenly, they had to move to US and continue his studies there. “How did you know my address?” I asked as we went inside the house. He smirked, “Don’t you know me anymore? You really don’t believe in me, I have my ways,” he says proudly and gave me a wink that made me laugh. We both looked at the door when we heard a knock. “Maybe that’s my order, give me a sec,” he says as he stood up to open the door. He’s tall, white, and it’s obvious on him that he’
Paul’s POV “Is she here already?” I asked one of her classmates as I arrived in their room. “Who? Tacia?” I looked at her classmate when she asked me. I shooked my head as I turn around to go back to my room. I purposely came here earlier than usual to greet her but she’s not here. I’ve been busy these days since we’re dealing with the MV we’re making. I missed her so much, she didn’t talk to me for the whole sembreak, is she sure about rejecting my confession? I went back to our room with a disappointment. Aeron and Josh are still not here since it’s really early right now, instead of staying here, thinking what would I do to be noticed by her, I decided to go near the gate to wait for her. I don’t know why I’m doing this after the pretend thingy but all I know is I want to fix this thing with her, I want to turn that pretend thingy to surreal thing, not because I want to slap to Tacia that I don’t love her anymore and I will never get married to her, but because I want to be wi
Bavina’s POV “After Paul, there’s another boy,” I heard Tacia’s voice, as usual getting my attention again. She has a new friends but in the other section. Ever since Ethan started to fetch me in my room, she is always like that, which is it’s not shocking anymore as I know her. I just hope that Tacia won’t tell me that he likes Ethan after putting my life in hell because of her ex! “If you won’t shut up your mouth, I’m the one who will make you shut up! Why don’t you try not to talk instead of saying nonsense things? What a b*tch who wants everyone’s attention!” My mouth falls open when Janine yelled at Tacia from my back. “What do you th---” “I’m tired with your efforts just to get attention, does your parents not giving their attention to you and you’re doing this? What do you want? Paul, whom was your ex or Bavina’s new guy?” She cut Tacia’s words by firing her again. I put my lips together. Our classmates are looking at both of them, whispering and asking why are they argui
“How’s your back?” I looked at Paul when he spoke. We’re currently here in the park, he asked me last night to meet him tonight, so I just said yes. “I’m okay, it’s not that hurt,” I answer. I turned my eyes to the cars moving in front of us. I don’t know why he wants to meet me, I also don’t know why I said ‘yes’ when he asked me. “Did you eat already?” he asked again, I nodded my head without looking at him. “We ate our dinner with Ethan earlier,” I answered, I can see from my peripheral vision that he looked at me but I stayed looking in front of me. “He’s my childhood friend, he recently came back here in Philippines. I have to guide him since he don’t know the university, we’re still friends even though we didn’t talk for years,” I narrated when he was about to speak. I know that he wanted to know Ethan, I know that he wanted to clear everything, like where I met Ethan and why I’m with Ethan after rejecting him. “Does he likes you?” he asked, I turned my head on him. I sho
Bavina’s POV After the event, everyone decided to eat a dinner nearby since the event finished late. It’s already 7pm and we’re still waiting for our orders. I’m sitting beside Shia while Janine is sitting beside me, so I’m in the middle. Ethan said his goodbye after the event as he wanted us to have a bonding. “So how’s college going? Is it hard?” Juliet asked us. “Well, it’s kinda okay, the other subjects are just stressing me out, and giving me a reason to shift a course,” the girl beside Juliet joked, we laughed. “Most of you are english major, right?” Julit asked us again. I nodded. “It’s quiet hard but there’s no easy to do in this world, so I’m trying my best,” Shia says. “That’s right, I know you can do that. Even me, when I was still in your age, I almost gave up but look at me now, I’m going to have a demo next month,” Juliet says, the others clapped their hands. The others are not with us for they still have a plan, so we’re not complete. “I just took education for
“Are you serious?” I glared at him when he asked me again for 26th times. He have been asking me if I’m serious when I said yes to him! I couldn’t even sleep because he was asking me every minute! “Ask me again, I’m going to talk to Ethan.” He immediately shut his mouth as I said those. I shooked my head. I also don’t know how that happened, it just happened! After I thanked him, I asked him why he loves me. And after he asked me if he could be my boyfriend, I just said yes, and that was what happened! I didn’t expect myself to say something like that. I remember what I conversed with my reader before, I realized we had the same situation with that person. My reader decided to know the reason why the girl he liked rejected him even though he knows that they feel the same way. I realized that my reader was like Paul. He didn’t give up on me, instead of avoiding me in order not to get hurt, he waited for me because he felt that I feel the same way as he do, I was just too scared to
Bavina’s POV I let a deep sigh, we’ve been so quiet while we’re on our way to go home. I’m just thankful that his Dad let us leave without insulting me and without saying that Paul is rude to him. It wasn’t my intention to hurt him by saying that his Father doesn’t like me for him, I just can see that we’re just making our situation worse especially once his Father knew that we’re together… well, real relationship now. I just don’t want to be a burden to him. I also want to fight for our love but at the same time, I don’t want our relationship to be a problem to him. Relationship should be our home, not a problem. I love him but I don’t know if we’re doing the right thing knowing that he’s not listening to his Father for me. I fake my cough to get his attention but he didn’t give me a glance. He’s just focusing on driving. As we arrived in front of our house, he looked at me. “Are you mad?” I asked with my low voice. He shooked his head, “I just don’t like what you’ve said earli
After that night, everything went back to normal, except that we’re not eating lunch with Ethan. Everytime we see each other in university, he will just smile at me and won’t talk to me when Paul is around. “Are you still busy?” Paul asked. I have a free time now. My readers are inboxing me already and asking me about the next chapter of the novel, I can’t ignore them. I’m working on the novel these days for me to publish more than five chapters within this week. “You’ve been in front of your laptop these days,” Paul spoke again, trying to get my attention but my fingers are busy typing. I stopped when he suddenly closed my laptop. I looked at him with a serious look, he gave me an awkward smile before he opened my laptop again. Paul’s POV Why do girls unpredictable? They don’t want to be disturbed but when we’re doing something, they are going to yell at us just to give our attention to them! I frowned when she focused on her laptop again. She’s writing and for the whole week,
I smiled when I saw Aeron and Josh, they are going to stay here to welcome the new year.“Uncle Aeroooon!” Pauline shouted before she run towards Aeron.It’s been days but it feels like they knew each other for so long because Pauline is really close with Josh and Aeron already.We’re currently here in our rooftop while waiting for the new year. It’s 11pm already but Pauline is still jolly.“We’re here, b*tches!” Janine shouted while walking towards us.She went to me and hug me.“You’re overreacting again, Janine!” Shia complains.“Why do you care?! Mind your own business!” Janine fired back, I laugh a little.They walk towards Josh‘s and Aeron’s direction since the beers are there already to celebrate the new year. I stopped when I saw who arrived next.He smiled at me.“Hi,” he says, I smile.“Aren’t you mad?” I ask, he laugh as he shakes his head.“I’m happy for you, Bavina. You know that I have nothing more to ask but to see you happy,” he says, I smiled and hugged him.“Ethan, I
“I won, Janine. Give me the half million!” Shia says.“Me too!” Josh and Aeron says, I raised my eyebrow.“Bavina! Why did you betray me?! If you didn’t comeback to him, I should’ve won!” Janine complains to me. My eyebrows arched.“We had a bet if you two will go back to each other. Since you came back to each other, me, Shia, and Josh are the winner,” Aeron explains, I glared at them.“You’re not a kid anymore!” I scolded them but they ignored me.After I thought wisely if I could accept him again, the four made a bet already. Wow, they are a good friends!We told them about our relationship already, everyone is happy, except for Janine who lost the bet.“There’s no back-out on this group, Janine!” Aeron teased Janine. She frowns.“Give me your bank accounts, half million is just coins for me. Do you want own land? Resort?” she asks to the three that made us laugh.“I want airplane!” Josh answers that made us laugh again.“I want boyfriend!” Shia yelled.“You won’t get a boyfriend!”
I suddenly stood up when I heard Pauline’s loud cry from our room, I put my clothes on immediately as I run to her.“Mommy!” I hugged her when I saw her red face.“What happened?” I ask while I’m wiping her tears.“I thought you and Daddy left me here,” she answers while crying, I hugged her again.“Mommy and Daddy slept on Uncle Josh and Uncle Aeron’s room, sorry,” I say.He wasn’t contented of what happened in the bathroom last night and we had a round two on the bed. Because of tiredness, I fell asleep there!“Stop crying, Mommy is here,” I comfort her.“Where’s Daddy?” she asks.“I’m going to call him, stay here, okay?” I utter, she nodded.Paul is still sleeping.“Hey, mister, wake up!” I say as I removed his blanket.My eyes widen when I saw his thing. That’s how big his thing is?! It became more big than before!I notice his look at me, I look away as I turned around.“Get dress, your daughter is waiting for you,” I say before I left the room to go to our room.As Paul went in
“Come here,” I spoke to Pauline. She sit in our middle.I look at Paul, I can see that he’s nervous but I gave him a smile to calm him.“Do you still remember how I described your Father?” I ask Pauline.She nodded, “He’s a singer, handsome, and loyal.”“What do you want to do now that you know some details of your Father?” I ask, she look at the sky like she’s thinking of the answer. I glanced at Paul, his eyes are getting red while he’s on Pauline’s back.“I want to see him and ask him why he’s not here. I’m five years old already but I haven’t seen him,” she answers with her low voice.“Are you mad at him?” I ask.She shakes her head, “No, Mommy. If Daddy has a reason, I don’t think I’ll be mad at him. Does Daddy still love us?”I slowly nodded, “He loves us, baby.”“Where is he now?” she asked while looking at me. I stared at his face.“B-behind you…”She turned her head immediately to see it, she stand up when she saw Paul.“P-Pauline…”Pauline’s tears fell from her eyes while st
Paul’s POVI couldn’t sleep last night because of what Pauline said while she’s sleeping. I can hear her voice despite the silence in our room. Her calling me Daddy makes me feel like she’s not mad at me despite what I’ve done from her and her Mother.I’ve been wanting to tell her that I’m her Father but I’m still scared, what if she won’t accept me? I’ve been wanting to hear her calling me ‘Daddy’ but the moment I’ve heard her, it felt like a dream, and instead of being happy, I felt something inside me aching and feel sorry for her especially for Bavina.Hearing my daughter calling me Daddy didn’t make me happy, it made me determined to prove to Bavina that I won’t run away from her again, and this time… I will be the great and happiest Father and husband for the both of them.I just want both of them to accept me, I have nothing more to ask.I sigh loudly. I look at my phone when it rings. The center is calling me again.“Hello, sir? Do you ha---”“No, I don’t have. Just tell him
Everything became clear to me because of what Aeron and Josh told me.He have been watching me all the time while I’ve been cursing him for making me live in h*ll. While I was hating him for abandoning me and the child, he was having a hard time to see me suffering.I don’t know who’s much worse between us. Him who knew everything from the very start but he just watched me suffer alone or me who didn’t know his side.I sigh loud while I’m looking at Pauline who keeps on giggling because Josh and Aeron are playing with her. Their concert will be later tonight, so they still have time to play with Pauline. Paul didn’t let them go outside for them to watch us and play with Pauline for her not to get bored here.“Mommy! Mommy!” Pauline run towards me when Aeron tried to catch her, she hugged my knee that made me laugh.“Don’t tickle me!” Pauline complains but Josh carried her and put her beside Aeron. I can hear her giggles in the whole room.After an hour, Paul came with our lunch, so I
I opened the door when I heard the doorbell. It seems like Paul is here already since he texted me earlier that he’s going to visit Pauline.I saw his wide smile while he’s holding a cake and gift on his hands, he’s holding a flower as well. I opened the door widely to make him go inside but he handed me the flowers without stepping his feet to go inside.I looked at him, he gave me a this-flower-is-for-you look.“This flower is for my thank you for letting me meet my daughter,” he says, I force myself to smile before I get the flower.He went inside and greeted Pauline. Pauline became loud and jolly when she saw Paul. I watched them talking while Paul is giving his gift to Pauline.They are really alike, Pauline got her cheeks on me but it’s obvious that most of the parts of her face are from Paul.“Mommy, look! He gave me a gift!” Pauline said lively before she raised the gift, I smile and nod my head.I look at the red roses he gave me, I sniffed it to smell the flower which made m
“Mom, we’re going to have a vacation next week for the christmas,” Pauline says, I glanced at her as I smiled and nodded at her.“Oh, that’s good, where do you wanna go? Uncle Dad wants to have a vacation with us,” I say.Ethan is planning to take us somewhere Pauline wants, Ethan told me about it last week.“Mommy, does Uncle Dad likes you?” she asks, I turned my head to see her again. Shia even stopped from doing her reporting.She’s staying here as she feel bored in her condo.“Who said that to you? Uncle Dad is just being kind to us, baby,” I answer before I pinch her cheeks.“Then why did he told you to marry him?” she asks innocently. Shia and I look at each other. I glared at her when she’s forcing herself not to laugh.“Go and play now, baby,” I say without answering her question.I throw the ballpen I’m holding to Shia that made her laugh. Shia and Janine already know that Ethan liked me, they just stayed silent before because me and Paul were together back then.After a few
We’re watching Pauline playing with other kids here in the park. They are running while they are playing, I can hear her laughs and giggles from here.“She looks happy,” Paul says.“Yeah, she is,” I answer without looking at him. We’re sitting on a blanket that he brought while we’re on the grass.Yeah, Shia tricked me. She pranked me, only to see my daughter holding Paul’s hand. I don’t know when they started talking and they agreed to do this st*pid thing!I’m a bit guilty about what happened from the past knowing that I know his side now, but I don’t know how to start.“I should bring her more often here, then.” I look at him while he’s looking at Pauline. He turned his head to see me, he smiled at me.”I don’t care if you don’t want to see me, but I want to do everything to make my daughter happy. And I know that this can make you happy too,” he says, I look away.I hugged myself when the wind hugged me, the sky is getting dark, so the others are fixing their things to go home.“
