Moonville Series 1: Secret Lovers

After giving the letter, Angel went out of the room. Alex stared at the white envelope. She nonchalantly threw it on her study table, then laid on her head with her back turned on the letter.

She closed her eyes and tried to think of other things to divert her attention. But whatever she does or think, she just cannot take her mind off the letter on her pink table. She sat up angrily. She looked at the letter, and after staring at it in a few minutes, she decided to take it.

She wants to think that she's annoyed, but she can't help but feel excited to read what's on the letter. After a sigh, she opened the letter that is not sealed anyway. Then she started reading what's in it.

It was the first day of school when I first saw the girl. She came into the room and it seemed like the sun came down and there was light all over. She was like an angel. It was the loveliest scene that I've ever seen in my entire life, that moment when she walked towards me.

It was still the most magical moment that I've ever had in my life.

I did everything to get close to her. I did everything to make her love me, too. We had beautiful moments together. Moments that are full of love and happiness. It was like a dream come true, because every night she is the one I dream of. We fought for our love. We struggled and tried our best to be happy even though we know it will be too hard, that it might be wrong. We still tried to make things right. And I thought, everything was going on very well. I didn't feel any sign that everything was starting to fall apart.

But it did fall apart...

And I miss that girl. I miss everything about her. I miss everything about us. I don't know how it came up to this. I never wanted to hurt her. I never wanted to see her cry, especially because of me. I never wanted to give her up, and I never wanted her to give up either.

Could you please give that girl back to me?

Alex felt her tears falling down her cheeks.

I want her back. I want everything back. Maybe, I really did mess up. I did something wrong that hurt her feelings. But, for me I was just trying to be nice. I was just trying to be a good person. You could have simply told me that you don't want me hanging around Kim. You could have told me from the beginning that what I'm doing is not how I should be acting. You should have told me that you were hurting.

Yes, I admit I'm a fool. I admit I am stupid. But, couldn't you just told me about it? You should just have gotten angry, asked me to stay away from Kim, than not say anything at all. You should not have remained quiet and tell me everything when it's all done and you already gave up.

Why did you give up? Is that easy to give up everything we had?

Does everything that happened to us does not matter to you anymore? All the good memories that we had? I know it was just for a few months, but all that happened between us is very precious to me. I did not regret any moment that we shared together. So, why, Alex? Why did you give up?

I know you were hurt, and that might be the reason why you said you wanted to end what we had. That you're hurting, so you want to give up. But I know, deep in your heart, that you really don't want to give up. I know, I can feel that you also treasure the moments we had, just like me. And I know at the back of your mind, you also want to have the chance to fix things up.

So Alex, there's one thing that I want you to do. Next Friday, after your last exam, I will be waiting for you at student lounge of SMS. I will be waiting for you until the university closes and they ask me to go out. I'm giving you enough time, enough time to focus first on your exams, and then think about how you really feel. I'm giving you time to reconsider.

Alex, from the start we know what we're doing will not be easy. You're a Martinez and I'm a Quinto. Our families hate each other. But can we stop our hearts from falling in love with each other? That's why I'm hoping you won't force yourself from loving me. Give me another chance to fix whatever wrong I have done to you.

Please give me another chance, and don't give up just like that. 'Cause I'm never giving up. I will never give up on you.

Richard

Alex is crying so hard she's almost choking. It seems like her heart is being crushed. With every word written on the letter, she can feel the torment Richard is going through. She can feel the pain that she has caused to him. And that what hurts her more.

He doesn't deserve her. He doesn't deserve her jealousy. He deserves someone better. Someone like Kim Agustin who never gets insecure and thus never gets jealous. Her heart was crushed with the thought.

She does not want Richard to hurt some more. She doesn't want him to suffer by loving someone who is too jealous. But can she really, totally give up everything? Can she really ignore the fact that Richard is willing to fight for her, to fix what they have however hard it would be for him?

She thought she had cried all the tears she had, but at that moment, more tears flowed from her eyes, emanating the rush of emotions she is feeling inside her suffering heart.
