STORY 3

LOVE IS GONE

"I love you Eli you mean the world to me" Xandro's words never failed to make me smile

"You deserve better that's why Im making myself to be better because I love you" he never leave a day without saying how much he loves me.

The love he had for me is the last thing I expect to  fade. Our story is the only story I know the ending will be a happy one. The word "we" is always link with our names. But,that was all before. When he still mine,when his love for me is not yet gone.

"Welcome back Architect Vera. We are happy to see you again after how many years?" a reporter ask me

"Almost 3 years I guess?"

"People are wondering why you came back. You are already successful in paris. You have a firm there and a rumored boyfriend so what makes you fly back here and leave your luxurious life you have there?" i smiled about she said. She's indeed a great reporter.

"Actually Im here because of someone" i proudly said it. But the bitchy reporter seems not contented on my answer. Tss wicked

"Who? Is he that important para maging rason ng pagbabalik mo?" how I wish i can erased that grin on her face.

"Yes,so can you excused me? Now that Im back I have a lot of things to be settled" how sarcastic Eli,tss. Before I leave, I leaned forward and whisper something to her.

"Maya ka sakin,gaga" I heard her soft chuckle. Tsk hindi parin nagbabago.

Before I can make another step the bitch call me on my full name

"Welcome back, Architect Elizabeth Vera" then she smiled. I smiled back and continue walking. She's Faith Cruxell my bestfriend. I hail a cab and tell the address.

"Its time to visit the reason why Im back"

Nakailang doorbell na ako pero wala paring nagbubukas ng pinto. I check the address that Faith gave me and I think Im on the right place naman. I waited there until sleepness drowned me. When I opened my eyes a unfamiliar place welcome me. I look at the window and its already dark. Nang akmang tatayo na ako isang boses ang narinig ko mula sa aking likuran.

"What are you doing here?" his voice is cold as an ice

"X-Xandro" I almost don't recognize him. He looks matured and manly.

"I said what are you doing here?" he looks calm but I can see the despise on his tone and I know why.

"siyempre para sayo" i try to look happy and act like there's nothing happened pero mas lalo kolang ata siyang nainis

"Don't fool your self Architect Vera. Maling lugar ata pinuntahan mo. Wala dito ang taong tinutukoy mo" I want to cry when he call me Architect Vera. No,call me Eli pls like you used to. I stop myself on voicing out baka mas lalo lang siyang magalit saakin

"X-Xandro. I know Im wrong for leaving without your knowing. But,Im back. I am here to take you back. I regret that I let you go before and I will regret that more if I can't be able to take you back now." I know Im such a fool on saying those things but I love him. I still do.

"Don't you think you're too late for that? Its been 3 and in half years already Ms. Vera."

"E-Eli pls call me that again"

"Dont expect that after you leave without any notice your coming back acting like there's nothing happened.For damn, Eli! Can you please act that your sorry for leaving me on day of our wedding!? Kababalik mo palang at ang unang narinig ko galing sayo ay yan? Bullsh*t! You hurt me, Eli! I was hurt that time knowing that my bride leave the country with out even informing me!" he's crying and I know I am the reason

"X-Xandro Im just afraid the you will stop me, that was my dream! You know I can—"

"Another bullsh*t ,Eli! You think Im that selfish? You think I woud stop you spreading your wings?"

"X-Xandro pls forgave me"

"I already forgive you, Eli"

"Than—"

"But, I can't accept you again" Im hurt about the words he said thats why I pushed my self to him and kiss him. He pushed me. It hurts,really.

"Eli,f*ck why did you do that!" mas nasaktan ako ng makitang pilit niyang inaalis ang marka ng halik ko sa labi nya

"X-Xandro pls nag sisisi na ako. Tayo nalang ulit" I know if Faith will hear this she will slap me and tell me how pathetic I am for begging. Im about to kiss him again when his phone ring. I saw "Babe" on the caller

"Hi babe!..yeah Im free...no,no!I'll go there...yes wait me there..i love you too" Then he hung up, kasing lamig ng yelo ang boses nya nung kausap nya ako pero nabago ito ng sagutin nya ang "babe" na tumawag sakanya. Sobrang lambing. I remember him like that to me before.

"Siya ba?Is she the reason why you cant accept me?" I already know the answer but I still asked. Pity your heart,Eli. You heard enough.

"Yes, and I should thank you for leaving me,I found her"

"Is there any way that I could stay in your arms again?"

"No,because I love her more than I loved you"
