Ciara's pov
A few days have passed and my life repeatedly cycles in the same routine, lying down, eating, sleeping. Jennifer still hasn't visited me since she brought me here because she's busy with the business that her parents made her handle. As of now, I have no other things to do other than get to argue with Axel in chat.
Speaking of him, here he is.
Axel Cipriano
Active now
Axel: Good morning.
Why didn't you greeted me? Do not you miss me?
Ciara: Is there a reason to miss you?
Axel: Nothing? Idk.
I just know that you have a crush on me.
Ciara: Wow. What a shame. Wow. :)
Axel: Stop saying wow, Cia. you're not an ambulance.
Ciara: Your face is really thick. May I know who's your mother? Aren't you embarrassed?
Axel: Why do you want to know her?
Are you even ready to be her daughter-in-law?
Ciara: No and I have no intention.
Seriously, Axel. It's early in the morning yet you're now ruining my day.
Axel: Too early, but you're not even greeting me a good morning to me?
why don't you just say good morning, master, hmm?
Did you see that? He's so shameless? It's just nice to block him again.
Axel: Hey, I'm waiting.
Ciara: find my care.
Axel: what
Annoyed, I put down my phone and finished stroking my shoes, then got up from the bed when I finished. I immediately went down to the living room and met my maids, but I only approached Nanny Percy.
"Yaya Percy, do I look fine?" I asked her as soon as I let her see me.
"Of course. Wait, you're just going to visit your husband today, aren't you? Why do you have to be so well-groomed?" Nanny asked in confusion, making me awkwardly smile.
"I just want to look good and presentable in front of him nanny, even if he can't see me anymore," I explained with a smile and put on my sling bag.
"Be careful, okay?" Nanny reminded me before I finally left the house.
Axel: Tss, oxygen, one more seen, I'll think you're interested in me.
My lips parted when the message about this crazy man popped up.
Ciara: The fuck you're talking about?
Will you please stop messaging me? I hate talking to you.
Axel: Oh, that's why you're still talking to me.
I was stunned for a moment.
Ciara: as if I have a choice?
Axel: You do, Cia. You can definitely ignore my message, but you didn't.
That only means you are interested in me, Cia.
Ciara: WOW.
I'm not interested in you, don't be feeling.
Axel: relax, don't be so defensive.
I just hate it when you are ignoring my messages, Cia.
Seen 8:35 am
Axel: Cia.
Ciara: What???
Axel: I said stop seening me. :(
Clara: You just literally told me that I can ignore you??
Axel: But I didn't say you do it.
Ciara: Tss. Shut up. I'm going.
Axel: This early? Where are you going?
You're going to me?
Hahahaha! I knew it, you have a crush on me.
Ciara: crush your face.
I'm leaving. I will visit my husband m
Bye.
Axel: you're going to visit me?
But I'm too far from you. :(
Ciara: The fuck?
Are you Tyron?
Axel: No. But I'm sure I'm more handsome than him.
Ciara: Really? Where?
Axel: my face.
Clara: looks like feet.
Axel: Hey!
That sucks.
Stop it.
Tsh.
-_-
Clara: Hahahahaha!
Axel: You're laughing, does that mean I'm your happy pill now?
Clara: no. -_-
Axel: Hey! That's my emoji.
You're a stealer, Cia.
Ciara: Stop calling me Cia.
Axel: What should I call you then?
Hmm.
Cat?
Ciara: Do I look like a cat?
Axel: No. But you gave miming to my life.
I cringe. What the fuck is this man saying. I didn't reply to him anymore and immediately dial Jennifer's number.
"Hello?"
"Where are you, Jennifer Jeon?!" I yelled angrily when she finally answered the call.
"Woah! Relax, why is your head so hot? What happened to you?" I can hear her laugh.
"Where are you?" I asked again before starting my car.
"I can't go."
"Still? Why?"
"I'm in a restaurant with my parents," she replied, I frowned. Am I getting a deja vu? This is also where we meet.
"Maybe they're going to introduce someone to me," she complained.
"Huh, what's that? Arrange marriage?" I asked as I laugh.
"It looks like that, but I hope not. Gosh! I don't want to get married yet" she sighed on the other line, causing me to laugh. What else to expect. This is the way we grow up. Being introduced to their business partners.
"That's fine. You'll get used to it too."
"Fine?! It's not! I don't want to happen to me what happened to you," she was still screaming, I couldn't help but smile sadly. I remember the past. Maybe if I could just turn back time, I would choose without them forcing me to marry Tyron. For the second time, I have no life to destroy and no life to lose. No Hannah Soriano would plan to take my life and no one would be able to betray the only man who loved her.
"Wait, they're here."
"Omg..." She whispers in a slow rhythm.
"Hey, are you okay there? What happened to you?" I wondered as I sense the nervousness in her from the other line.
"Hey!"
"Omg, Ara! Kyaaah!" I abruptly moved my cellphone away from my ear in shock when this woman shouted.
The f, what's going on with her and she's suddenly screaming?
"What's happening to you? Calm down." Annoyed, I cursed at her, I even heard her talking to herself on the other line.
"Alright, Jennifer! Just relax, relax. Relax! Inhale, exhale! Just relax, Jennifer! It's just Kyro! Relax," she calmed herself down.
Kyro?
"Omg, Ara! Do you still remember Kyro, huh?! He's the one I've wanted for a long time since we were in high school! Do you still remember?! Omg, he's here. He's here! Seems like he's the one they're going to introduce to me! Wait, I'm going crazy!" She screamed and I can imagine in my mind how she was jumping right at that moment.
I'm lucky because I'm not next to her right now. After all, otherwise, she will probably hit me with ecstasy.
"Your ultimate crush? Did you just already forget that he's so cold and unapproachable?" When I reminded her, she was silent. The truth is we both have the same taste when it comes to men. When I first met Tyron, I was still in high school.
He was the captain of the basketball team at our university back then, he was always too active in all school activities, there are so many people really liked him, but in those days, only Hannah caught his attention. But my feelings for him didn't change, that even a few years later until we went to college and graduated, I still liked him, even though I knew he was already in a relationship with Hannah.
As much as I liked him, I didn't know that I would sacrifice my whole life for him like this, just to be with him.
"..." She couldn't speak so I laughed.
"Don't be too happy, no one told you you're going arrange to him, right?" I asked as I chuckled.
"But if it's Kyro, why not?! I mean, I'll agree to arrange with him right away! Omg!"
"Whatever, Jennifer Jeon," I said and dropped the call.
I stopped my car when I arrived at the cemetery. I walked for a while towards his grave while carrying flowers and candles.
I let out a sigh before finally getting close to him.
"Gloomy morning, Ty. How are you?" I laid the flower on his grave and sat down.
"I miss you so much, Ty, but I still hate you." I sighed.
"Why is that when I already felt your love, that's when you left me. What do call that? Go surf 50? Only three days of fun?"I joked and tried to laugh.
"Until now, those memories are still fresh to me. I still can't believe that the woman you loved so much back then will still be also the reason why I lost you." The strained smile curved on my lips.
"I'm wondering where's Hannah now because until now, I'm still nervous. I can't just be calm, even though I know Jen hired me for my private security. I'm afraid she'll come back to get revenge on me. Honestly, I really shouldn't be affected, because besides from I'm not at fault..."
"They're not my real parents either," my tears continued to fall.
"It hurts to think that I grew up with pure lies. I was stolen by criminals."
"But it hurts more when you suddenly leave me," I folded my two knees, and there, I bent down, while my two arms wrapped around my legs. I stayed in front of his grave for a few more hours, just telling stories and staring at his grave. Told him about the truth I found out from my supposed parents. I was also able to tell him how I was starting to change the course of my life, be used that he was no longer by my side. I also identified the current search for Raiza and my real parents, I already know a few but still not enough for me to know who they really are.
I was in that situation when my phone vibrated. I looked at it for a moment when it rang again, but I still didn't pay attention. But soon my brows twitched on purpose when it rang continuously
I glanced over the screen of my phone to check what the reason was and the notification bell did not stop ringing. But my eyes immediately widened when I read the last message.
Axel Cipriano sent you a message.
Axel: Can I court you, Cia?
WTF! I quickly opened the notification and his chopped messages popped up. I haven't read the others, just the new ones.
Axel Cipriano
Active now
Cia, hi!
I know you're busy rn, but...
Can I ask you something?
I have thought of this already, a lot of times, and...
I decided to ask you if...
Can I court you, Cia?
I quickly hid my phone out of shock at what I had read. I turned to Tyron's grave and nervously bit my lip.
"Do you want to know what he said?" I was talking to his grave since I also told him about Axel.
I immediately glanced at my phone when it rang again.
Axel: Cia!
Finally!
Hey?
Why are you just seening me?
Ciara: What are you saying? Are you crazy?
April fools are over, stop me.
Axel: No. I'm deadly serious, Cia.
Ciara: You don't know me to be that serious, Axel,
Axel: I know little things about you.
Ciara: Like what?
Axel: You're wearing black today.
My eyes automatically got widened because he was right. I'M WEARING BLACK TODAY? Wtf? How did he know??
I nervously looked around, looking for someone who I didn't know, but I didn't notice or see anyone looking at me so I was even more nervous.
What kind of show is this, I'm right about my hunch, this person is really planning something that isn't nice to me, right? How on earth did he know the color of what I'm wearing now? Is he here? Can he see me right? Who is he?!
