Adrian's POV:
"We'll be in urgent need of your signature on these documents, Master Garcia", a black ballpoint pen was shoved into my hand. I was here in my house with my dad's lawyer; Barrister Derrick. He had been familiar with me from my childhood.
It was required of me to carry-on the activities of the company in my dad's absence as I was legally the next heir. I wasn't prepared for this next phase but I was left without a choice. If I didn't accept his will, the company was gonna be shutdown permanently or sold out.
It was my dad's biggest dream to run a company. A company that had a big name in the entire city. A company that could provide the best services. And finally, his hardwork paid for it. I couldn't take down his dreams. I was bent on working for his happiness.
I placed the ink on the first paper and scribbled my signature till I got to the last. The deal was done. I was tagged the new CEO of the largest fashion company in the city. GARCIA'S DUDS. The company papers were all in my name. This was the least I could do to compensate for the loss of my parents.
I forced myself to believe I had a brighter future ahead. Maybe, I was lying to myself. My pasts weren't gonna be forgotten. It was and is still a huge part of me. I was gonna live with every bit of the memories till the day I gave out my last breathe.
I was still gonna cry myself to bed. I was gonna stay up the whole nights, watching the bright stars twinkle in the sky, and waiting for the moon to come up. I was gonna hug my pillow tightly and never let go. I was still gonna soliloquize every day and night when I looked out through the windows.
Her scent still lingered on my favorite clothes, my duvet, my skin. She was gonna be all I'd ever think about after my parents. The memories of her kept me awake every fucking hour of the nights. I still cared to know if she was doing perfectly fine.
She disappeared from my world. She was the girl I always dreamt to spend my entire life with. Each time I tried to close my eyes, she was all I could see. I was hooked up with her. I fell too deep, I never cared if I was gonna get hurt in the future.
We shared every pain in the past together. We shared our love. She was my favorite person. But, she left. I turned out to be the lonely one. I hated to admit that I still loved her with my whole heart. I was hurting myself to think of it. I couldn't forgive her for ripping me apart. She made me rethink my life occasionally.
I had to figure out a way to get stuffs out of my mind. I needed to stop overthinking my past. I had to put everything behind and focus on my nearest future. I had to raise my shoulders high. I couldn't degrade my self-esteem to low levels. I had to give a try to moving on.
Yesterday is not ours to recover but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. And I was always gonna choose victory. Forever!
