"My sched is hectic today.Just call me if you need something okay?" We've been here in front of the house and I can't get out because he can't stop kissing me.
"Okay."
"Don't attend classes. I know you are tired, I'll take care of it."
"Okay ."before entering, the gate I turned to him and smiled. His lips parted as he watched me through his open window.
He smiled at me.
"You're beautiful." he said mischievously so I laughed.
I did nothing but clean the house and when there was a knock on our door I wiped away my sweat.
The door was opened and I'm so stunned!
"M-Ma'am Sonya?"
One of her eyebrows was raised and her gaze hovered over me. I was suddenly embarrassed. I put down the broom.
"Come in Ma'am.." I said politely. She grinned as she glanced at the house.
How did she find our house? Why is she here? Why does she seem angry?
She took a deep breath and entered.
"Is your couch clean?" I immediately nodded. I knew I was dirty and I could still have dust on my face!
"What do you want to drink ma'am?"
She shook her head, as if exhausted.
"I won't take long in this kind of place." She raised an eyebrow at me. I sat on the sofa opposite him.
"I'll be honest with you."
I was shocked.
"I don't like you for my son." I think I was deaf to what she said and the pain and nervousness hit my chest.
"H-Huh?"
I blinked and an envelope was placed on the table I knew what was in it. My tears rolled down my cheeks.
I am right.His mom hate me.
I shook."M-Maam ---"
"Stay away from my child." her angry voice echoed throughout the living room.
"Damon is an outcast and I know you know that!" she shouted at me. "I want the best for him. As you can see he has a hard time getting along with his brother who will compete with him in everything. He's the COO of HMC which is now failing. That's why he's bound to marry Venice. Venice is perfect and soon to be his fiancee ' "
What? I am the fiancee! Damon doesn't like Venice!
"If Damon choose you, he will definitely fall into poverty! You're nothing but a gold digger! He paid your whole year at HMU right?"
How did she know?
I remained silent and could not process everything.
"So you must understand. You just pull him down! You have a headache and a pain in hid pocket because you are poor! Damon comes from a broken family! And will marry the woman that have a broken family as well? Where's the justice? "
Shit! I just now realized everything. Yes, she is right. She is right because I am just poor and because I have no money if he still spends on me he will only suffer!
"If you truly love my son....leave him alone. I think five million is enough including your mama?" She pushed me the envelope on the table whose contents were cheque.
"I-I love D-Damon ma'am."
I sobbed.
"Can you feed him with your love? Oh come on, use your brain! Find another man you can date. Not my son. Now, decide."
I wiped away my tears.
"I can get away, but just me not my mama.I could have walked away without asking for money. "I sobbed and returned the money to her.
I don’t know but I think she investigated my life. She knew I was a broken family. She knows that Damon paid for my school year. She knows a lot about me.
"Maybe we've clarified? Stay away from Damon." she said emphatically.
I nodded.
"I want to ask a favor."
She laughs with a sarcastic voice.
"Such a fool." she insulted me but I ignored it.
"Give me two days to be with him, please."
She stood up so I looked up.
"Two days then and please, get away immediately."
I cried in my bedroom. I feel like I am burdening the whole world. I can't believe it.
Is it wrong that I loved Damon? His mom is right. I'm the one who will drag him down. If he goes to me, I can't give anything to their company. I don't know anything about the management of their company.
Now I'll make the right decision. Knowing Damon, if I continue to show up our love will only deepen even though I know I won’t be able to get up yet or to move on yet with our relationship.
If I go away and he can't see me. He will forget about me. I knew I was just a chick to him. I wiped the tears from my sore eyes from crying.
I picked up the cellphone and typed a message to Damon. My hand was shaking and I pinched my chest as I typed a message to him.
To Damon: Let's date tomorrow. Please, I miss you.
I sent it to him. I stared at the ring on my hand.
For the last time.I'll do the right thing.
"I don't know what I'll do Ruru," I sobbed. I am talking with Ruru in my cellphone.
Early in the morning I called Ruru. I have no other friend to cry on and to lean on but only her. She is the only one I can trust.
I feel the pain.
"She really is that witch! Feeling social ! She is also a social climber! SHe’s using Damon on her luxuries! ”Even Ruru get anger because of what I told her.
"She's right ." I wiped the tears from my cheeks. "I'll just pull Damon down. I am nothing. I'm nothing to be proud of--"
"And so ?Damon will decide who he wants to be with for life! Not her mama! Can you tell Damon about this? "
I shook my head.
"I don't want to make the situation worse Ru. There's only one thing I can do. I want to stay away. He'll forget about me--"
"You know Zands ? The problem is you are very pure person. That is even sacrifice your own happiness, you will. But you idiot, how do you think Damon will feel? Do you only care your feelings? How about what Damon would feel?"
I cried even more.
"I know Damon. He's a strong man. He can easily forget me.For him, I will do it because if I don't go away I will be eaten up even more by my conscience because I will be the only one to destroy him. He's successful while I'm nothing! "
Ruru sighed on the other line. I heard her sob.
"Zands do you have to go away?"
"Yes."
"I-I know some place that you can stay and you're safe there and I can go there too."
I smiled. It's comforting to have a friend like Ruru.
"I'll book you a flight." she added.
"Okay, t-thank you. Thank you very much. Where is that?" I ask.
I don't have enough money. So Ruru can help me because she is the only one who will book a flight for me.
"On Semirara Island. There are no malls there,and double the price of goods there because it is an island. We have a Village there in Lucena. There are many vacant houses there that we own. You can be there, safely. "
"Thank you Ru. " I could only say.
It was only five in the morning and I only slept for three hours. It's like every moment I want to treasure because I know it's the last. I went back to sleep while thinking. I just woke up when mama called me for breakfast.
I took a shower and put on the expensive white volcum shirt that Damon had bought me.
While at the table mama was staring at me so I was nervous. And I'm wondering that she wasn't wearing her uniform.
"Hija" Her eyes narrowed.
"Ma?" I was nervous to turn to her.
"Are you engaged already?" I looked at my finger with the ring. I'm holding the cup of milk so mama can see it.
I smiled. Even inside I almost cried in pain.
"Yes ma, Damon proposed."
She gasped.
"Oh my! Is that why your eyes are puffy? Because maybe you were emotional last night?"
Yes mah. I became emotional. Mama it’s really hurts. I want to tell mama but I can't involve her in my problem.
"Y-Yes ..." I could see the pleasure in mama's eyes as we talked at the table. I said Damon and I had a date later so I didn’t go in work.
But if he only knew that I would only do what I had to do because I was leaving and mama was with the people I would leave, it would be very painful. I know he will understand me, Damon will understand me. But this is not yet the right time to tell him the truth.
"Why didn't you come in work?" I asked erasing mama's smile.
"Your aunt Tessa fired me from work. " she said sadly.
“Huh? Why?"
She shook her head.
"I don't know. Even me, was surprised that I was suddenly fired for no reason. There are more jobs waiting for me. I can also find a job. "
I shuddered at what I heard. I felt angry because I knew who did it .. Ma'am Sonya.
I don't know why Damon's mother is so evil. That's why mama doesn't like her. She's evil. She manipulated Damon's life. Fortunately, Damon did not inherit her habit.
I am wearing a white shirt volcum and a shorts. It's three o'clock in the afternoon and I'm waiting for Damon here outside the house. I'm so nervous.
Moments later the car stopped in front of me while I was stunned. I immediately prepared the fake smile on my face .
I was stunned by the seriousness of his face as if it was reading my mind so I averted my eyes. He held my hand where the ring, was place.
I want to cry at his first touch. I will miss his touch .. his smell .. his kiss .. everything.
"What happened? Why are your eyes swollen?" his a question that I can almost feel."What's my wife's problem huh?" he says softly.
That word wife. I don't know if I will be your wife Damon.
My treacherous tears immediately fell.
"Tell me." He kissed my hair.
I shook my head.
"I-I missed m-my dad so much." I lied.
He nod he seemed to believe my reason.
"Do you want to talk to him? I'll help you."he said softly.
I shook. "Please take me somewhere please. I want to be with you."
I want to watch your face. I want to see your smile. I want to kiss you. I want to touch and kiss you one last time.
My face was buried in his chest. He hugged me while he was driving.
I can't seem to get away from him even for a minute. It seems like every drop of time is important and precious to me.
I just woke up when he stopped. The familiar cliff wekcomed up to me. Damon's favorite place.
