Aaliyah's Pov
In his office
'Why are you avoiding me?' It broke the silence between the two of us.
I still can't answer.
Until the elevator opened again, indicating that we were on the floor of his office.
We went out together, I just turned my head, because I had to think about what to say to him.
'Sir, you have forgotten something' said the voice of a woman who I guess was his secretary.
'No.' He said to her and he just grabbed my arms and entered his office. Before he could completely close the door, I saw the surprised face of his secretary. I didn't object because I didn't want to create a commotion and his secretary would even notice it. I have studied so I know how to be a professional sometimes.
'Sit down' he said in a serious tone, as he pointed to the couch in his office.
Actually, his office is very big and beautiful, but I can't be amazed right now. This is not the perfect timing.
I can't stand it anymore. There is no way to hide from him because I know that no matter what I do now, he won't believe me.
'It's me. But you don't need to worry about me anymore. Also, I am here to work for your company and I need this work, You are my boss. It was just a mistake what happened to us, so let's forget about it,' I told him.
We have to finish this.
Go Aaliyah you can do it..
He didn't move at what I said. he just looked at me.
'Sir, we are both drunk, so don't think about that. You are also the CEO of this company, don't let me get involved. I'm just an employee of yours' I said to him seriously.
I saw his weak nod then smiled slightly.
'Yeah. It's just a mistake. I'm sorry.' He told me as it was a sign of surrender.
But just wonder why that is. What's happening..
My heart felt like it was pinched.
Just now I wanted to run away from him, run away, I wanted to leave him and get out of here now,
but now..
I want to insult him, slap him, and say hurtful things.
That's all?!
'y---yes. T-that's right. It's just a m--mistake. So can I--can I leave?' I stuttered a bit because my tears were rolling down my face. I feel that tears will fall anytime. I don't know why!
T__T
'Sure. I'm sorry' he added so it was like stabbing my heart with another knife.
I didn't speak. I slowly turned around and walked out the door as I calmed myself down and held back the tears that wanted to fall in front of him.
I didn't hear from him again until I got out.
I didn't pay attention to his secretary who was outside. All I need now is to get out of his place.
...
The tears kept falling from my eyes. It hurts so much, I didn't expect to feel this way. I pushed him away, but I didn't know that I would feel this way.
I thought for several years, sometimes if I ever see that man again, what will happen, will I remember him? Also what happened to us then? How will I feel when I face him? Angry? Happy? But just looking at his picture, I felt mixed emotions.
Especially when I met him. I pushed him away, I pushed him, but deep inside I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to tell him that I came back that day.
:'(
Even though people are looking at me now here in the park where I was carried by my feet, I don't care. I just want to cry everything. I want to release all the weight that I feel from the beginning. And now I face the person who caused my suffering, for more than three years, then I pushed him away it's just a little too fast to give up.
It hurts so much.
'Yeah. It's just a mistake. I'm sorry.'
His words always echo in my mind .
My whole face was covered in tears remembering what he said earlier. More tears poured down my cheeks.
Yes, I'm sorry! That's all you can do for me!
'Ali' I looked at the person who spoke. Lyca. She hugged me so I cried even more on her shoulder.
'Aliiiii' I heard my best friend say while also crying. I begged her to pick me up right here at the park.

We are now here at the bar with my two friends. I invited them because I wanted to get drunk..
So she's Aaliyah. And she's now one of my employees.
What? Should we just forget? Tss
'Bro cheers!' -Nik
'I think you have a bad trip' Vince asked.
'Yeah. Very bad trip bro. I saw the girl I met three years ago. But she said we should forget what happened' I told them.
Nick laughed.
'What? What kind of woman would tell you that bro'-vince
'She's one of a kind hahahaha' -Nik while laughing. Damn this man.
'Where did you see her?'-vince
'You won't believe it bro. He works at the company.' I answered.
'Woah, you and vince are the same?! The girl who likes him is also in your company.' Nick said. I was also a little surprised, but with Vince's personality, you can't believe it either.
I think I'm in love with my ex girlfriend' -Nik said
He's laughing while drinking his beer.
'Seriously?' -vince
'Yeah' -nik
The fool looks serious. It's good for you to hit that.
'Good for you bro' said Vince with a smile.
'Nice one' I said to him. Good for him really.
For me? It's not good.
I hate myself for thinking about that woman. There's a lot of girls craving for me, but since day one I can't stop myself craving for her.
It's really not good..

Now playing: Somewhere only we know
Weekend
Aaliyah's Pov
'Sister, they are close, grandma!' my sister said excitedly to me as she was going out the door to pick them up at grandma's corner.
'I'm excited to see Liam' Lyca said with a smile.
'Thank you very much, Bessy, for all your help' I told her. while my eyes are teary eyed.
'Tsk dont thank me. It's only natural that I do all the help I can because we're best friend,' she said with a smile while helping me serve on our small table.
I just smiled at her.
Grandma and Liam will return home from the province.
Liam Mendoza.
My son.
Yes. You read it right. I have a son and he is now turning three years old after three months.
He is the result of what happened to me and that CEO. That was the result of what that stupid man said, that It's just a Mistake.
For me, Liam is not a mistake. He is half of my life and inspiration. That's the reason why even though I struggle every day, I can handle it.
But unexpectedly, my son has leukemia. So every time he has chemotherapy, his grandmother brings him home here in Manila. The reason why I need more money.
My son can't stay here in Manila because there's more dangerous pollution here. It will be more harmful to his health. I don't have enough money for the hospital, if his condition become critical.
:(
'Mama!' I heard a cute voice from our door as my small and cute son approached.
'Oh don't run my baby, careful' I said scared and he might fall.
I greeted him with a tight hug, and then filled him whole face with kisses.
'Mama, I was very good to grandma. I drank milk, consumed food and took medicine. I didn't either. I played because the doctor said it's not allowed.' he was happily proud saying to me.
I couldn't answer what he said. From my sitting position, I stood up.
I couldn't take it.
It started pouring again. my tears. I cry. My son is too young for this to happen to him. Sometimes I ask God to transfer my son's pain to me. He has hardly ever played with other children. He has been inside all his life He's just at home, oh why!
:'(
'Mom, why are you crying?' My son asked. He's still very innocent. He knows he's sick but he doesn't know it's that bad. He follows all the instructions of the doctor, his grandmother and everything I say because he wants to get better. He is a fighter. T__T
'No baby, mom didn't cry. Mama is happy because you took her out today' I told him while still looking up and not looking at him. I don't want him to see me cry.
I noticed that Lyca, grandma and my sister were also crying. They also feel sorry for Liam. :'(
Four months ago when he was diagnosed with stage three cancer. I almost passed out when I found out he had leukemia, there was not a day that I didn't cry. Especially when he had chemotherapy.
He had two rounds of chemo and lyca helps me with hospital bills like when I was pregnant, check ups, until I give birth, my best friend is there for me.
But I can't rely on her so I have to work hard and have big salary for my son's needs.

'Son, you need to go on a date with jenny, I want to have grandchildren' mom while we are facing each other today in her office at the hospital. Apart from him being the director of our hospital, my Dad is also the owner of this private hospital.
He called me earlier to ask me to at least visit him.
'Mom, you will have grandchildren, but not with jenny. I don't like her' I answered her.
'But son, I wish she was the one for you, because your father and I know her parents, Jenny is another decent girl, isn't that daughter more beautiful? It's not who you date,' he added, but I have no plans to listen.
'Mom, I'm not dating anyone right now. I have a girl who I like. And I want to have a child with her' I told mom confidently.
'What? Is it real? Who is this girl child? Bring her to me and introduce her already' said mom happily. I think she was surprised when I said that I like someone. Well, he knows that I'm a playboy, then suddenly I like a girl,?!
Tsss Even I was surprised.
'Okay, one of these days.'-me
'Really? Oh okay son, I'll wait for that,' said mom while being happy and obviously excited.
'Yes mom. I Promise, I'll go first, I'm going to see her so I can tell her that you want to see her. Next time let's have lunch okay? Bye, Loveyou' I said to her while kissing her forehead.
She didn't say anything and just happily smile because I quickly got out of her office. Dad and I would have lunch, but I don't want to, because I knows what will happen. He will only tease me to marry Jenny, Dad's friend's daughter.
I sigh.
I was about to go out, and was walking in the hallway when I suddenly noticed something in the distance.
It's Lyca. She walked and entered a room.
But why is she here? Maybe she visited someone.
I want to see who she visited here today, so I accelerated my strength and when I arrived at the door she entered earlier, I saw her inside with her friend. Oh! It's Vince's girl!
The door has clear glass so I can see the people inside.
hospital bed, which is a little boy and there are two nurses.
Who is he?
I was surprised when Lyca suddenly looked at me.
Shit.
I saw the look in her eyes, then she stepped out of the room.
Damn.
'What are you doing here? Are you following me' she said angrily at me.
'Well, no. Have you forgotten about our hospital?' I told him arrogantly.
I like her but I'm not a stalker.
'Really?! Come on!' I was surprised by the sudden lightening of her face as she pulled me into the room.
Wow..
'Good morning sir' -nurse
'Good morning Mr. Dela Cruz'-nurse
I just nodded to them.
'Babe, we have a problem, they don't want to give chemotherapy to Liam now because they say the child's doctor is not here. Can you help me babe, maybe we can find a way? They say there is no such doctor available today.' Lyca surprised me while still holding my arm. Hey, she's really my girl.
'Can't you find a way?'I said to the nurses.
'A-aahh yes sir!, we'll find a way right now, I'm sorry' said a nurse and they both went out.
They're just scared of me.
'Thank you' Lyca said shyly to me as she let go of my arm.
'A-ah thank you' her friend said to me as well.
'It's not okay' I answered with a smile. It's funny. ok It seems like it's my luck that my mom let me go today.
It's funny, I even helped my ex girlfriend :)
I looked at the child.
He's smiling at me. He's so cute. But I seem to have noticed, the child looks like someone..
'A--ah he's-Liam, Ali's son.' I guess babe noticed, that I looked at the boy in the hospital bed now who looks sick.
But what surprised me the most was, What is it? whose son? Her best friend's son? The girl that Vince likes?
What?!
Does vince know about this? That the woman he likes had a child.
I was surprised when Lyca suddenly pulled me.
'Bessy, we're just going out for a while, right? Just wait for the doctor here, I'll be right back' she said to her best friend. It's me, just next to her.
I smiled at her best friend and the boy and we finally went out.
A while ago I was wondering who that boy looks like, he seems to resemble someone I know but my mind is blank.
Tss.
....
We are here on the rooftop now with babe sitting on a bench. There is a basement so it's not that hot. The design above is beautiful, the theme has a bit of a forest feel to it. Just all green.
I also asked the staff that no one will go up here first and mark the stairs going up here as not available.
'Sorry. If you feel sorry for yourself. I had no choice earlier. I need your help' said babe a little shyly.
'No. It's okay. You too. '-me
'Let's talk babe' I said to her.
'We have nothing more to talk about. Whatever you want in return for helping me today, just tell me' she said.
Wow this girl is different too. What if I say that she is the one I want instead. damn
'I'm not asking for anything babe. I want you. I want you to know that you are not just one month rule. If you let me babe, I can make you my last woman forever. When I'm with you, I'm happy. Only with you have I experienced true happiness, without material, not just for sex or money, food or anything. It's just your presence. I want to be with you. I like you. No, I love you babe' I said long. I want to say what was inside of me.
Wtf.
I feel a little better now.
But babe, I saw that she was teary eyed. Maybe it was a because of what I said.
'I don't believe you' she said.
'Let's get married' I said in a serious tone.
'Where is the ring? Shouldn't there be a song when you propose,' she said.
I smiled.
I knelt down and took out the ring that I always had in my pocket for three days for this situation. My plan should be at her condo because I plan to go there today, I don't know that I will do it here at our hospital..
I'm a little nervous.
She doesn't speak.
She cries.
'Babe, I want to be with you. I want you to cook for me in the morning, I want to have kids with you, I love you babe' I added but she only cried more.
...
Lyca's Pov
I can't believe what's happening. Is it just a dream? I cried at what he said. But now I'm going to let him be fragile first, even if he's lying oh no!
now I don't care. I miss him so much and he can't fool me.
He can't stop my tears.
'Babe, I want to be with you. I want you to cook for me in the morning, I want to have kids with you, I love you babe' he added, making me cry even more. My right hand is his.
He put a beautiful diamond ring on my ring finger and then stood up.
'Thank you babe' he said and kissed my forehead.
It's so sweet and what he did made me feel his sincerity.
After looking at me, he kissed me again but this time on the lips.
We're kissing passionately.
No one defeats us, I resist his kiss. I miss him so much and that's the reason why I'm sad for a few days.
In a short time, I fell for him because there was no day or time with him, that he didn't make me feel that I was important, that he wanted me.
'I love you babe' he repeated the moment he let go of my lips..
'I love you too' I answered and smiled at him.
I was so thrilled. I am happy.. and I wish that the happiness I feel during this time does not end.
