I stared at him to make sure I wasn't misheard his words. I waited for him to say he didn't say those words, or he really did but it was unintentional.
"You shouldn't be like that," I said using my broken voice. "You'll regret telling those words once you remember me. You really will, Neil, I am warning you."
He did not answer, he just massaged the bridge of his nose and ruined the style of his hair. He again let out a frustrated sigh and started driving again.
Silence fell again.
And this time, I did not bother him.
How dare him to say that he wanted to unmarry me?! We both wished to be married, and so I also had the right to disagree with his decision. He probably liked that Felicia that much to the point that he wished to cut the only tie between us. But too bad I would not let that to happen.
"Good night," I said and went outside the car without waiting h
I was frustrated. To say that I really was would be an understatement. What should I do for me to forget his effects on me?"I am getting fuzzy just seeing you walking around. You've been like that for almost an hour!" Mom scolded me, but my body could not just stop from moving around. I wished to call Daniel and asked for an advice from him on how to abandon someone who's very close to my heart, but asking him for one was not a good idea for he liked me. If he knew I liked somebody else, our friendship might be damaged.And I did not want that to happen."Mom, what did you do before when daddy approached you in a very romantic manner?" I asked my mom, who's now shocked at my sudden question. "I.. I actually like someone now... And--""Why are you asking me like that? By the way, prepare yourself because we're having a lunch date with my friend. She is so excited to meet you," she answered, not mindi
The sun rays were already working to make the universe beautiful when I woke up. Mumbling, I hugged my pillow and imagined that it's Neil who I was hugging now. After, I fixed myself inside the bathroom and threw some unwanted pukes. My head was still aching because of the hard liquor I took last night.Grr, could someone hand a medicine to me?"Ma'am, here is your foods," a maid put the tray she's holding in my bed. She immediately left without saying any words. My eyes dropped on the paper pasted in my night table.I prepare foods for you. I don't know your favorite ones but I guess soup will lessen your hangoverNeil.I slept again after finishing the foods, and even in my dream I saw myself hugging Neil tightly. It's better to be there than to face the reality knowing I would wake up feeling so down again. But for Neil, for the sake of our love for each other, I stood straigh
"An email has been sent to you, Sir."An employee said through the intercom. Fixing my neck tie, I sighed and got my signature pen to sign the documents in my front now. I was planning to focus as what as I did minutes ago but here I was thinking about her again.She's my wife. And there were documents and files that proved our secret but legit marriage. Funny how I could not remember her but still felt shaken everytime I saw her with another man.I just hoped that she would take the foods I specially prepared for her. It's not my thing to cook before going to work, but because of her, I felt like she's my beautiful responsibility."Is she really my wife?" I again asked myself, confused, and hurt.I got hurt because I had said the words that made her disappointed. The night that I plead for her to unmarry me was the night that I considered as one of the darkest moment in my entir
I was roaming my head around the place when everyone gave a knowing look at me. They knew already that I was the former Vice President in this company that's why they bowed their heads to respect me. What I found a little bit disturbing was that they seemed afraid as if they had been waiting for my presence for a long time."Good morning, ma'am, you look so lovely as usual," a receptionist greeted me for the second time. "Sir Neil, I mean Cal, has waited for you. He said you should come to his office to discuss some matter together.""Okay, by the way, how everything's going here?" I asked them. I was not one of their bosses anymore but they were part of my memory as a VP. "How's the maintenance? Are they giving you enough salary?"It's been years since I asked like this."Sir Cal is a great leader. All departments' liders are responsible as well. They give us salary appositely, ma'am. But the problem is that Sir Cal forgets some of the names of his emplo
"What happened to your face?!"I yelled in shock when Neil revealed his face full of bruises. I was torn between getting the medicine kit and asking him where did he get so much aches. At the end, I ran with all my best to get the kit so that I could help him. Once the kit was finally on my hand, I sat next to him and held his jaw.Regardless, he still looked like a demigod. No one could ever change my mind.When in fact, the blood in his face made him look like a bad boy who came from a ramble."You're so stubborn. Why are not you answering my question, hmm? What happened? I thought you were just going to your friend's house but look at you now," I mumbled, a cotton in my hand, and so I pressed it in his right cheek. "You need to talk or else I find a way for me to know what has happened to you.""You sounded like a mother. These bruises were just nothing but bruises. Stop worrying, can you?"
I balled my fists and my eyes shut in irritation. I walked off my desk and signaled Sydney not to move even for a bit. My system was screaming for anger -- for jealousy, perhaps. I was already frustrated after hearing the news that my secretary told me early in the morning yet Daniel, the most obnoxious man in the entire world, just worsened my headache."Where are you going?" Sydney inquired me before I could reach the glass door. "Please, don't hurt him, okay? He's my friend. He's somehow close to my heart even though he keeps bothering us. Please?" Her eyes were watering, making me realize that Daniel wasn't just a normal man for her.For some reason, my heart throbbed by the fact that I was not the only man in her life, that even though we were married, I still didn't have the right to control her life."Okay," I managed to answer, regardless deep inside I badly wanted to break that Daniel's hand until he knelt and p
Come here and talk to me if you don't want me to reveal your secret to the President of your family's company.I received that message hours ago, and until now I kept walking back and fourth while thinking for a nice idea or solution. I had this bad feeling in my mind that something bad was awaiting for me. Why did the sender of that message seem so knowledgeable about my life?I am sorry for what I did to your husband. I regretted for trying to kill him. It felt like I wasn't on my senses earlier. I am so sorry. I'll understand if you don't like to meet me anymore.That email came from my friend, Daniel. An idea popped up in my mind. Was he the one who just send a threatening message? He's the only one who knew about the sins I did to my husband.My hands trembling, I gathered my strength and sent a reply.Just stay away from me, Daniel. Are you the one who just sent a message t
A sexy music played, and men in their own seats whistled to appreciate the presence of the woman dancing in the dancefloor. Lights were starting to move side by side and back and fourth to make the place more appealing in the sight of everyone. I wasn't fond in any music but the one I was hearing now might be the reason for me to become a music lover."She's so sexy. No wonder why every man wants to take her," I heard a Chinese man whispering to his seemingly Spanish seatmate, causing me to ball my fist as though as she's my territory even though she even didn't know my name yet."Fuck you, all," I whispered in my gritted teeth and my eyes focused on the woman swaying her hips so deliciously. Even in this dark place, her exquisiteness was still shining like a beautiful star in the galaxy. She's wearing a wig that suited her white and vulnerable skin. She's wearing a black dress that didn't cover the majority of her thighs. There were even time that her undies showed ou
