Chapter 19

"Let's sleep." Ciro said.

"I can't, hmm let's drink."

He looked at me confusedly while I just smiled at him. I get some beers and placed it on his side table.

"Do you have a problem? You can talk to me." He said.

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't have problems, I just want to spend this night with you." I lied.

"You don't have to pretend baby. Please tell me what's wrong."

"Have you ever felt something that it might be the last thing you will do?"

He looked at me confusedly and I smiled.

If I could only tell you big brat, I would. If only I can.

"When I was young, I used to idolize my grandfather. I thought he is the kindest man in the world. He gives whatever we want. I don't know what happened." I looked up preventing my tears to fell.

"What happened?"

"He used to bring out the best of us Ciro. He's always there for us but I don't know why he would pushed us to something we don't want." I smiled bitterly.

"Promise me whatever happens you will be the best lawyer in town."

"Why are you saying that?"

"Just promise me, please." I frowned.

"I will cause you will always by my side." He smiled.

I sat beside him and hugged him tight. I just want to hug him for the rest of our lives but I know I couldn't, I shouldn't.

"What's wrong baby?"

I didn't answer instead I kissed him, sincerely.

"Ciro make me scream today." I said wiping my tears.

"Shh baby you're drunk." He said and looked away.

"I'm not. Please Ciro, just for today. I won't ask for more." I said.

"You sure?"

I nodded and kissed him. He pinned me to bed and kissed me passionately. He's hand went down my shoulders, taking off my t-shirt. His kissing goes down to my neck and to my mound.

"Ahh..."

The last thing I knew was he was taking off his clothes and I just scream his name until he make me came.

We did it until morning, my legs are sore and I wake up like my head is spinning.

I saw him sleeping, like he's happy and everything is ok. I took a bath and put my clothes on. I know I need to walked away as soon as possible. Because I know if ever he'll get awake and I heard his voice, I know I won't have any strength to walk away. To leave him.

For the last time, I looked at his angelic face that I'll miss. His comforting voice, everything about him.

"I'm sorry Ciro, I really am. Please be happy even if we are not together anymore. Please be the best lawyer in town like you promised me." I cried and glance at him for the last time.

Goodbye my love.

Yuri's POV

I'm here at my friend's house. I don't want to go to our house. I don't want to see anyone in my family.

Actually I'm not ready to told Lolo about that yet but when I heard them talk about the fixed marriage I worried about Selena.

"Lolo please." I saw Hazel pouted.

"My decision is final. Ciro and Selena will get married. I heard they are in good terms." My grandfather smiled.

"But Lolo, I would do everything. I will take medicine and represent our family. Just make it me." Hazel bended her knees down.

I saw her cried and pleased our grandfather.

"Ok, we will do something about this."

I hears everything that's why I decided to tell Lolo about I don't want to be a doctor. I thought he will cancel the wedding and just focus on me. I hope that is what happened after I walked away.

"Yuri, Ferry texted me." Ford showed me his phone.

From: Ferry Hi Ford, I know Yuri is there. I just want to informed him that Selena will study abroad and was about to leave after an hour.

I took his phone and called Ferry, what the hell happened? I thought she will study in Manila together with Ciro.

"Ferry, what happened?"

["Selena texted me minutes ago. She said if ever I have contact with you, she wants to say goodbye."]

"Why, did they fight?"

["I think you should ask her. She's at the airport already. Hurry up."]

"Thank you baby."

I booked a taxi and drive my way to the airport. I know she have a deep explanation about this.

I was about to call her when I saw her sitting there and crying.

"Selena! Why are you here?"

I was about to interrogate her when she hugged me and cried herself out. I patted his head and let her cry.

"Yuri I'll be back after 5 years." She pretend to smile.

"What happened? Why are you going away?" I asked worriedly.

"After Hazel graduate college she will marry Ciro." She said and cried harder.

"I thought Lolo will not going to do it." I said.

"If ever Ciro asked about me please don't tell him anything." She smiled bitterly.

"But he has the right to know."

"Please Yuri, it's too damn hard to walk away."

I hugged her and let her cry. I saw the pain in her eyes, she didn't deserve this.

"Please help him to be the best lawyer in town. Tell our cousins that I just need to focus on myself and I will not contact anyone."

"Are you really sure about this? We can go back. We can convince Lolo to stop everything." I convinced her.

"We can't." She smiled bitterly.

"I'll be back and let's just pretend that nothing happened." She said and walked away.

I saw a familiar face with her, it's Prince. She waved her hand for the last time and she left me, she left us.

I decided to go back to my grandparents’ house to convince my grandfather to stop the fixed marriage. He needs to stop manipulating us.

"Yuri..." I heard someone said behind.

I saw Ciro with her red eyes and he's running towards me with no slippers.

"Did you see Selena?"

I looked away and remembered what just my cousin told me.

"I didn't, why what happened?" I lied.

"She left me a note." He said and give me a small piece of paper.

Please be happy love. I'm sorry, I'm happy with someone else now.
