Chapter 7

After telling them what happened, they really changed their view of Zach. Well, I can't blame them for hating him. Because of the story I told them, I remembered the girl I saw a while ago. That's the girl in Zach's picture frame. The world is so small, that in an instant the person I love is owned by someone. I honestly don't know what I feel right now. The kind where everything is mixed up. I was so engrossed in watching the sunset that I didn't realize that someone was standing next to me.

"You really loved the sunset, Brie." he said. "Why is that, Kev, I thought I would have hope to love again. I thought for me, destiny would come true." I couldn't escape the tears that are now flowing down my face. "Just cry, I'm always here for you, right?" He said and hugged me. "It's hard to be like this Kev, I'm having a hard time too." "Shh.... Don't worry, you'll soon be leaving for the States. You'll also forget what happened to you here." He said while trying to stand up, using his hands caressing my back. "I hope so Kev, I hope so."

Kevin just said goodbye, saying that he had to leave because the two were suspicious. Until I was left deep in thought again. It's our first day here, but it looks like I won't be able to enjoy the resort.

I turned around when I felt something going to where I was.

" How are you? " "Wow, that's new! It's a miracle, you said hello to me." I laughed at him "Oy! I'm still worried about you. It's good that I worried about you, I didn't watch." "Are you blaming me?" I hit him at the same time. "Well, it's not a joke. But, is that okay? You want me to rush it? That's crooked! Women shouldn't be hurt!" I just laughed at what he said. "Coming from you!" "That's it! Laugh too. Don't think about anything. There are many other men who deserve your love. Don't waste your time, to that ugly guy." "He's not ugly, Dweyne." "Look! You're still defending me? Turn it around, you should be the one defending me, don't do that. That's stupid!" I was suddenly silent.

"Don't love the person who hasn't finished loving, Acqui. We have so much time, to wait for what is destined for us. Never beg for someone's attention. Maybe, we really have a lot of differences. But I'm still a human. I'm also a person who has feelings for others. It's just that the person I like, also likes someone else." " Who's that lucky girl? " I glanced at her "A girl that always treasured me a lot. But the destiny doesn't want us to be together."he said. " Your drama! " I laughed at him. "But you know, I really haven't forgotten Chris's reject you." I just pinched his side to make him stop talking. It's so epic, isn't it? "Damn HAHAHAHAH I'm laughing at that. His strength to reject you, he is not handsome HAHAHAHAH."

This is the other side of Dweyne, a woman with a bad temper. When someone insulted that. For example, "Dweyne, there's a a beautiful girl out there!" I pointed at the girl who looked at him. "Go and ask for a number." I teased him, but it didn't work. "That? That behavior is ugly! I talked to her when I came here. She just thought that the beautiful girl already had a child." Oh right! HAHAHAHAHAHA "How did you know that?" I asked him "Of course, she became my girl. What else is with her? I don't know! I have her number, do you want it? How are you!" I just hit him to make him go back to his trance. Because he is addicted to that tiktok again. That's so budget-friendly, "Hey, isn't there something new trending on Tiktok?" "Yes, the 'It's me and my jowa' is nice to smack the person who made it. I don't know, the tiktok is already irritating. But the others are pleasing to the eyes." "It's all profanity coming out of your mouth, maybe it's time for me to drink holy water." "Why not you?" He turned to me. "Stupid! I just drank a while ago HAHAHAHAH" We just laughed and laughed at the cuteness of the two of us. Among the four friends, Dweyne is the one who goes out of his way to make you smile and laugh. So I treasured him a lot. Even sometimes it's annoying. But that's okay, as long as we loved him so much. I didn't realize that Dweyne had disappeared from my side, until I saw him from a distance with a woman. I just shook my head at what I saw.

Until I decided to go inside, to clean my body. I was surprised to see Sky and Athella inside my room. They gave me a dress to wear today. I had no idea what was going to happen so even though I was confused I followed what they wanted.

When I got dressed, Athella fixed my hair and Sky did my make-up. " What is there? " I asked them. But not one of them even answered my question. So I thought I would have fun today. But I feel that I will be really happy, because I know if they will find a way for one of us to be happy. After they applied make-up to my face and did my hair, they eventually left. Just as I was about to open the door, he opened it and Dweyne appeared to me. Who knows if he will be my escort tonight. "Dweyne." "Hm? Why? Are you nervous?" He laughed at me."Maybe, I feel like I'm going to be killed. Oy! Let me run!" I convinced him. "HAHAHAHAH what are you running there? It's stupid HAHAHAHAH." I just stepped on his foot because I was so annoyed. He was even 'aray' because I was still wearing heels. "What's the matter?" I really don't know what they do. "You don't know?" He said to me. "No." "Your party? You don't know?" "What party is this?" He didn't answer me anymore when we were in front of a restaurant with flowers in design. Don't tell me, is it an engagement party?

Dweyne and I walked slowly, while there was a person in the middle. I was so surprised who was there, I didn't know whether to be happy or angry. I couldn't say anything, because I was shocked. I didn't expect this to happen. And I didn't even know that he was here in the Philippines. And for some reason, he is the person who colored my white world. I'm happy but a little bit sad. Because he's no longer. "Vhaine, I missed you." He hugged me. "Kendrick." Kendrick was the person I fell in love with when I was still in the States. But something happened to him, he was taken to the hospital because he was attacked by his illness. I forgot what his name was, as long as he was suffering from heart disease. He also didn't make me feel for several months. And I didn't have a chance to cut our connections to each other. So in their eyes, we still have a relationship. But for me, we end up already. He hugged me very tightly, while I didn't know what to say. "When did you come home?" I asked as he helped me to our seat. As I turned to see where Dweyne, Athella and Sky were. " Just a while ago. I missed you so much Hon. Don't you missed me?" "I'm just surprised because I didn't expect to bring you home." "I can't wait to see you. That's why I came here." " But I told you." " I said, I can't wait. " He still held my hands. He just helped me to stand up, and we went to the center. "I know you're not ready yet, but I want you to feel how much I love you."

"Ken." I said."So if you wait, when are you ready to love me again. I'm sorry because I didn't even play the part of being your boyfriend before. And hopefully, let me love you again. Like this ring, if If you remove this ring from your ring finger, I will go away from you. So do you accept me again? "Ken. I don't know, I don't want to hurt you. You're so precious to me." "I know." "Ken, I'll think about it first." "I understand." He said knowing that his smiles were forced. I just hugged him very tightly. Until we decided to go for a walk on the beach. "I know, you love someone else Vhaine." He said as he turned to me. I just bowed, as he said. "It's also my fault, why did you suddenly lose your feelings for me. And I'm grateful to that person, because he filled the lack I gave you. But I felt a mixture of envy, because he already had what he had. your heart, I wish I had it " He sighed, while we were still walking. "I love you very much, Vhaine. But what is the use of my love, if you yourself are not able to reciprocate it. I will blame myself, because of what I did and did not even remember you." I just glanced at my hand when you grabbed it suddenly and you twisted it. " I wish I was holding you like this now. " Look at both of our hands at the same time. "but because of what I did, it slowly let go. You let go because you couldn't handle all the pain. The pain, I wish you would have accompanied me there." You smiled at me. I just hugged you very tightly, not because I felt sorry but because I was hurt. I was hurt by the words that penetrated my heart.

"I'm sorry Ken. I promised myself from the past relationship that we share. But I broke it myself." "It's not your fault, Vhaine. It's my fault, I failed you. I failed as your boyfriend. You wouldn't give up if I didn't fail, right? So I hope, I hope you can be happy with the person you love so much. I'm leaving you to him, Vhaine. Because he knows you'll be happy. See you soon in the States. I felt like a thorn was pulled out, because of what Kendrick did. The closure that I dreamed of for a long time for both of us. I hung out on the beach first, so that my sleep would be comfortable. It's a good feeling, the kind of closure you've been hoping for, you got it first. And now I know soon, he will find and find someone who will love him completely. Even if we were not destined, at least the day came when we met at least for a little while. I went straight to my room, after walking around for a few minutes outside. While I was lying and looking at my glow in the dark ceiling, I remembered that I had hidden something in my cabinet here. I rummaged through my stuff first, so I could find it. It took me some time to search. Because it's not in the cabinet but in the drawer. I adjusted my seat first, while I opened the first page in the book full of photos. Because they said, the contents of this Photo Album are memories that I lost. That I never remembered, sometimes while I was focused on this album, I would suddenly sweat and lose consciousness. And when I woke up, I was in the hospital. When I asked the doctor how many hours I had slept, he just said "You've been sleeping for a month." I don't even want to believe it, but they have proofs that they show me. I still have nightmares, but when I wake up I don't remember much. That's why I chose to leave this thing, rather than bring it to our Condo. My card is full of absence.

I couldn't take it anymore and closed the book. I don't want to pass out for almost a few months after sleeping for that long. I didn't realize that I fell asleep suddenly. What am I doing here? I thought as I rolled my eyes. I can't see anything. I'm just surrounded by tall trees, that anytime I can get lost here. I screamed even though I knew to myself, they couldn't hear me. I lost my hope, the reason why I stopped screaming. I don't care if I live or die in this place. But it's like my feet have a life of their own, and he's the one who traveled. You can really see how scary this place is. Those trees, who really surrounded me scared me a lot. The kind where my feet are stuck to the ground we are walking through. I'm nervous, my partner. Also because I don't know him very well. But as they say, it's better to go with someone you know a little more than with someone you always have. Because the person you are always with is the one who will drop you. So even though I was nervous, I still followed him. Until we arrived at a beautiful home in front of us. It is surrounded by tall trees, including birds. "Sorry about that, Acqui." Suddenly I woke up from another dream. I don't know why that word always comes last. The kind of feeling that I have when people do something bad to me. And I can't imagine.

If there is any, I'm terrified. I don't want to think about anything because I always wake up at demon hour. Even though I was still terrified, I left my room and left the mansion. I don't know why, I prefer to go out than do the things I need to do to make me sleepy. Even if, you already did so much. Even though there are things that should be forgotten, but why are there people no matter how hard you try to forget those things. They also try to remind us how stupid we were at that time when we didn't know the whole world. They will still judge you, without knowing the truth. I don't know, why is it that I'm talking like this. Because it's already annoying. They should listen to both sides. Not just the one, but be fair to the other one.
