Chapter 18

"Maybe after our graduation, you won't pay attention to me anymore." He hugged me from behind.

"Maybe you're the one who won't pay attention to me anymore, Aubree."

"What reason would I have to not approach you? Didn't you say you'd take me out tomorrow? We'll celebrate together. So I'll really approach you to confirm, because what if it's all just a drawing and you won't fulfill your promise to take me around your entire hacienda?"

Yes, next week is our graduation, the batchmates of this year. So far, my plans have turned out well. I have a job waiting for me in Manila, with someone my mom knows.

Since there were no more classes, just graduation practice, and Ryker's parents were in the states for vacation, he brought me here to their house. I told my mom, but I didn't say that I was with Ryker, the son of the boss where they work.

Because she might wonder why Ryker and I were together.

After we had lunch, he took me to his room on the second floor to watch movies.

    Chapter 19"OMG! This is it, pancit!" Like me, Rowela and I were ecstatic, finally, this is the graduation we've been waiting for.I'm truly grateful to God and my parents for their unwavering support in my studies for everything I've achieved today. And my next step now is to improve my work so I can give my parents a good life.They are the reason why I strive in my studies, even though I didn't receive any awards in school, the fact that I received my diploma wholeheartedly is a huge achievement for me."Even if we're far away, we should still text each other, okay?" Jenisa said."Of course we should still keep in touch, even if fate takes us to different worlds." I chimed in.I noticed my mom waving, so I excused myself from my classmates to go to her and dad who were sitting on chairs. The ceremony was held in our school auditorium.I looked around to find someone I've been looking for since earlier. I texted him, and still no reply, I ran out of load so I couldn't call him."Whe

    CHAPTER 20"Is it true?" Ryker was startled when he turned towards me, because I had blocked his way. "I-is everything I heard was true, Ryker Matt?" I asked him, trembling, barely able to stand because of everything I had heard about myself.He tossed his cigarette, nearly half-smoked, to the ground in front of him and slowly stomped it out. Smoking was forbidden at school, but he did it anyway. Then he looked up, exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and turned to me with a sharp gaze."Which part of it all do you want to hear, Aubree?" My eyes widened and I gasped at his deep voice as he asked me. This wasn't the Ryker I knew. No... his gentle, teasing voice was gone."That... that you're just fooling me? Huh, Ryker? Tell me, tell me it's not true, huh? Tell me?"His hands were in the pockets of his slacks, and he stared at me. I saw no love in his eyes, but anger, judgment, and disgust."Tsk, you already heard it, Aubree! Do you want me to repeat it so you'll be even more hurt?" A lou

    CHAPTER 21"Hey! Are you okay, Aubree? You've been staring blankly at your desk for a while now." Lorna's question brought me back to reality.I erased the bitter memories of yesterday, of love lost. Now, I will move on for my children."I'm fine, Lorna!""Are you sure? Let me see." I was about to turn away when she grabbed my face and placed her palm on my forehead, both front and back. "You're a bit warm. You should just go home early. You're probably done with filing the documents we'll submit to our next clients this weekend." She suggested."Is it okay? It's still 40 minutes before we clock out. But I think I need a little rest right now.""Oh, it's totally fine, you're just probably thinking about who our next boss will be... omg... it's next week already! Gosh! I'm so excited.""No, it's just that I have a lot on my mind, but not about the new boss," I replied."You know, I actually heard a rumor that our next CEO might already have a fiancée.

    CHAPTER 22I thought I was feeling better, but I wasn't really. I still had a bit of a cold and a headache.Since I couldn't be near my children yet, they would just peek at me through the door like they are doing now to check on me. "Mama, drink a lot of water and take your medicine, my twin Maynard put it on the tray earlier before Grandma dropped by," Freya said with concern."Get well soon, mama. We love you," Maynard said. I smiled at them both."Thank you babies, I've already eaten and drank a lot of water. I've also finished my medicine. Thank you, my dear angels, I'll make it up to you when I get better, okay?""Mama, we're just happy to see you without any pain, my twin and I are both happy, Grandma and Grandpa, Noona Ganda and Tito Caloy, we're not sad anymore as long as our mama is getting better!" I stopped myself from crying again because of what Freya said."Of course baby, pray for me to get better, okay?""We always pray to Papa Jesus for you to get well, mama," Mayna

    CHAPTER 23 "Are you going to work, Aubree? Are you feeling well? Your coworkers will understand if you can't go to work for now," my mother said. We were at the table eating breakfast together, and they were surprised to see me already dressed in our uniform. "That's right, Aubree! You might not be able to handle it!" My father said. "Are you leaving, mama? Are you okay?" Freya asked me, even though Maynard didn't ask, I knew he would ask the same thing and they were all looking at me worriedly. "Mama is okay, babies, but mama won't kiss you until I'm fully okay." I answered my children, I shifted my gaze to my parents who were now making their coffee. "I need to… Dad and Mom, maybe tomorrow when I get to the office, I won't have a job anymore." "Huh? Why? For what reason? Because you were absent? Well, you were sick, so that's a valid reason why you can't go to work yet." Dad was holding back his anger. I smiled at both of them. "Don't worry about me because I'll just show up at

    CHAPTER 24"Shit! Why? Why him? Isn't there anyone else?" I was in the bathroom, pacing back and forth with nothing else to do.I wanted to go home and hide my children, I don't want him to see them. He has no right to see them, does he?"Just shit!" I angrily pulled at my hair. Then what was his reaction earlier, he didn't recognize me. Is he crazy? He forgets so easily, he forgets so easily?I calmed myself down, with trembling hands, I took my comb and makeup. Not to look pretty and get his attention, but my hair was messed up from pulling it and slapping my face because I thought it was all a dream and besides, to show him that even though he hurt and cheated on me before, I'm brave now, I'm not the woman who easily falls for him anymore. He's not a loss and most importantly, he's worthless.Everything he did to me, he did everything to capture me, and here I am, I was easily captured by his flowery words."I hate you Ryker Suliiiivan! I hate you to the bone–""Is anyone inside?"

    CHAPTER 25I opened my eyes and was greeted by a white ceiling. I blinked repeatedly as the light blinded me."Aubree!" I turned my gaze to where Mom was. "Aubree! How are you feeling?" I checked myself to see if anything hurt or anything."Can I have some water, mama?" I asked instead to answer her question. She immediately went to the table where the water was and poured some into a glass. I lifted myself slightly to sit on the hospital bed."Here!" I took the water from my mother and drank immediately. After giving me the glass and putting it aside, she came to me, combed my hair and smiled."The doctor is coming to check on you again, are you not dizzy anymore? Or does your head hurt or what kind of pain are you feeling? I told you not to go to the office, but you're a stubborn kid, you can't handle it.""What happened, Ma?" I asked."Because of your high fever and over fatigue, you fainted earlier, so they immediately brought you here to the hospital." I got nervous because of wh

    “Ryker!” Why does it hurt? Why does it hurt a little every time she says my name? Is it because I'm right, that I've known her for a long time and I still don't know her? Is that what love is like? “Wh-why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me you don't remember? Why? Why didn't you fight for me back then? We could have been happy now. You gave up so quickly on what we had. Because if it were me? I could fight for you even if you forced me to love someone else.” While the person in front of me was telling me who I was in her life, my heart suddenly became happy because my dream was right, that I had someone I loved before. But I don't want to force myself to remember my whole identity because I'm content with what Aubree just said, I'm sure of her that we have a past. That she loves me and I love her, I only ask the Lord for one thing, that I would be able to remember. I also found out that baby Freya is my daughter, that's why… my heart beat differently when I saw her and

    I just stared at my secretary. I didn't know what kind of magic she used to make me focus on her. If she looked at me, I would avoid her. There's just one thing I don't understand, every time I see her, I see anger in her eyes and disappointment for reasons I don't know, and if I force myself, my head would ache, and if I try to remember, I would just find myself unconscious. When I see her getting angry at me, it's like she's known me for a long time and I've known her for a long time too, but no matter how hard I try, it always ends up with a headache. However, since she appeared to me, I did everything to get closer to her, even though I felt like if her stare could kill, I would have been resting for a long time. Maybe one of the happiest days that happened to me was when we had a business trip to Cebu, because that's when my friend Shanna thought, and if I only knew that just eating beans in halo-halo was the reason why I got close to her, I would rather just always eat bean

    I promised Aubree that I would marry her after graduation, but I didn't know how to do it, especially since I had a friend who was waiting for her. I was on my way home when I suddenly fell to the cement because of Sebastian's sudden punch. “You idiot, I told you there was something going on between you two.” He pointed at me furiously. I wiped my bloody mouth with the back of my hand and gave him a smirk. “I like her, since the beginning, man, I'm sorry.” “Sorry! Just sorry? Damn it, man, there are plenty of other girls out there, why her? I told you that I liked her. I fucking told you that I would tell her after our graduation, man, but what did you do? Damn it.” "I don't know either, I'm sorry. I only know one thing, I loved her, man, I loved her from the start. If you can't tell her how you feel then it's fair, maybe it's just fate that found a way," He shook his head, still looking at me angrily. “I'll still take her from you. She's coming with me. She's coming with me, m

Of course, I don't want to rush things just because I found out she likes me, I'll court her after we graduate from college, what do you think, bro?” I didn't know what to say. Out of all the students, why her? Why my crush?The moment he said he liked Aubree, I realized something, I had already fallen for Aubree Lynn, for a long time, but I just used my anger and teasing to make her annoyed with me. But damn, he's my friend, how can I tell him to like someone else?I carried that thought with me all the way home and to bed, it hurt even more when I saw them together and happy. Were they a couple? Fuck! Was I too late?Because of my friend's confession, it felt like our friendship changed just because of a girl we both liked.

They even called in another guy.“Alright, after this we're going home, or my mom will get mad.” My friend said, we've been buddies since high school. We were the only ones left from our group.

    CHAPTER 65I jolted awake from a bad dream. I immediately stood up and grabbed some water, calming myself down before drinking. I peeked at my husband and son, and thankfully they were both fine, which gave me some relief.What did that dream mean? Why was it so painful?It was still early morning. Mom and Freya were still asleep on the sofa, and thankfully it was wide enough for them to fit. I told Mom to go home for a while, but she refused. The Sullivaño couple had been here all day, but because Ryker’s mother was sensitive, they stayed at the hotel again. Freya didn’t want to go with them because she was shy and wanted to be the first one her brother saw when he woke up. She also didn’t go to school until her twin was back, and thankfully her teacher agreed.After calming myself down, I checked on Maynard, who was still asleep. He was the same as his dad. He didn’t have an IV anymore because it had been removed, but Ryker still had some tubes attached to him. He had hit his head h

For crying out loud, wake up.” Edziel’s voice roused me from my daze.“I’m awake, you even had lechon cooked for me, five of them, no payment yet. That’s almost a million.” Douglas said."What? That’s the price of your lechon? I won’t buy it, man.” Carlos said."Dude, just to wake you up, you never know, you might suddenly sit up to pay.”"Ahh…" Ten men nodded in unison. They were really crazy.“Hello, Aubree, sorry we came by because we heard the news. We were going to come last night but the guard outside said not to because you needed rest.” Lance said, so I nodded.I must have fallen asleep while sitting on the small plastic chair, holding hands with Ryker.I peeked at my son in the other bed where Mom was. They were both still asleep, neither of them had woken up since yesterday. I missed their voices so much.“We brought some fruits and food, eat something.” Ignacio suggested. Ryker’s friends

They’re being treated–”"No… you don’t understand. They need me, please.. please." I was almost on my knees begging them. “Please… I want to see them… Maynard! Ryker! I’m here… I’m here.”“Daughter! Aubree, my daughter. Oh God." I immediately turned to the voice and saw my parents running towards me with Donna and Caloy."Aubree?"“Aubree… ““Mama. Papa. Maynard and Ryker are – they’re inside, Ma, pa, the nurses won’t let me in, I want to see them." I was almost going crazy outside the emergency room.My dad hugged me tightly. “Be strong, my dear, be strong. God is merciful, He’s merciful, He won’t let anything bad happen to them."“But pa… maybe.. they need me. They’ve been inside for hours. No one has come out yet.

I thought it was something else.Well, why am I so nervous? Ryker is my real husband, even though we’re not married yet. We already have two kids, so I don’t care what other people say. It’s not like Ryker and I are hiding what my role is in his life.He actually wanted to introduce me to all his employees and friends, but I told him to wait until he remembers me so I wouldn’t hear any rumors about me taking advantage of our relationship because he forgot about me. We’re not hiding, I know some people know, they’re just gossipy, so I don’t care, as long as Ryker and I are happy.He’s been busy with work lately, so sometimes he’s not in the office, but when he’s here, we both don’t get any work done because we’re busy with something else.
