My flight to Paris was just a few hours away. I was sitting at the lounge area in the airport. I had said goodbyes to my parents back at the villa. I told them I don't need for them to see me off, that I will just cry if I see them with a sad face while I am departing.
These past few days, Jeremy tried to contact me in any means possible. By call, text, email, and even come to my house. But the maids have always chased him away, thanks to my father's orders.
Jeremy and my parents have met recently and talked about the cancelation of our engagement. The Coopers tried so hard to save the engagement but to no avail. My father was vehemently against the engagement and is dead set on canceling it after knowing of Jeremy's feelings for another woman.
After the cancelation, father made a total ban for Jeremy. He cannot make contact with me for the time being. After learning that Jeremy has been trying to reach me by phone and text, he immediately changed my cellphone number email address.
'I think dad is being a little bit over the board. But I am sure this is all for my sake.' I thought to myself.
And I don't think I have the courage to see Jeremy. I think my heart won't take it. It still hurts, it really does.
'What I need is time away from him and to search for myself first.' I thought.
Maybe by then I will be able to stand before him once again and smile at him as a friend.
While sitting and waiting for my flight, I caught some familiar faces.
"ANA!" Geraldine, one of my few close friends shouted and was waving at me. With her was Krista, another close friend of mine. Since then, we three have become best of friends. In my past life they were also helping me in showing Angelika her right place as a commoner. And because of that they were also called bullies.
I wouldn't want them to have such an image in this life time. They only stood by me because they understand and love me.
The three of us met each other in junior high school. Like me, they come from prominent families here in our city. Krista was the daughter of a politician while Geraldine was the daughter of a real estate emperor.
"Why haven't you told us you are going away now huh?!" Geraldine scolded me. Tears started to fall from her eyes. "Yes you informed us that you will be taking an exchange program in some country but you never told us the details."
"I'm sorry Din." I always call Geraldine by her nickname. "I wasn't planning not to tell you. I mean, I plan to call you once I get there and tell you the details. I am just afraid that I can't help myself from crying if we say goodbye face to face." Tears started to fall from my eyes as well.
"We understand Ana. But at least give us the chance to say goodbye to you." Krista said with tears falling as well.
The three of us had a group hug. The feelings deep within me just came out after that.
"How did you get in here?" I asked. As I know only passenger can enter up to here.
