chapter 16 (drama scenes again...)
-------------------
as she took her breakfast together with Rolly. she notice that she heard some familiar voice. it was Dante's voice calling Rolly.
"just eat your breakfast, i'll be right back... my brother needs a helping hand just for a moment", Rolly said as she got up on her chair and went outside.
she continue her breakfast. her breakfast meal reminds of her Dante's usual dish. just a scrambled egg with tomatoes and a bread. when Rolly was back, she started to talk.
"after this breakfast, i need to go... my friend at the resort is looking for me already..."
"oh, okay then.... wait... ummm.. how was the party last night? you know i went there just to sneak in but my brother found out that i was there and followed me last night...."
"you mean the rave party? it was fine". Faith can't finish her breakfast anymore as she look at her wristwatch and suddenly got up on her chair "im sorry, i can't finish my breakfast any longer my friend is worrying about me now because i got separated to her last night and i didn't get back to the cottage because of the incident".
"okay, i will tell my brother now to give you a lift to the resort". Rolly stand up and go with Faith to meet her brother outside. "let's go.."
as they went outside it was car repair shop and just five meters away from door to the repair shop she saw the man fixing the car. It was Dante, seeing him again makes her heart beats faster.
"Dante, this woman wants to go back to the resort already because her friend is worrying already, can you give her a lift?", when Faith saw Dante's face, it was rugged and when Dante was looking at her now, his facial expression is serious and kinda irritated.
"why don't you give her a lift. you know that im kinda busy here", as he took the key inside his pocket and give it to Rolly. "But Dante, im also busy too... i need to fix the other car there..."
"i'll fix it for you, just give her a lift now...", Rolly didn't answer anymore to him as she took the keys from Dante.
"can you wait here a sec... i'll just get something", Rolly turn as she go back to the house.
while waiting for Rolly to come back. Faith has now a chance to talk to Dante, as feel flattered about what happened last night because Dante was the one who save her after all.
"thank you...", as she said while smiling. but Dante was still busy fixing. "i didn't know you're the one who saved me last night...if there is anything you want to, i'll-"
"you don't have to give anything to me. i just saved you, that's all", he didn't look at her, rather he was still fixing the car.
"but i-"
when Dante look at her with furious in his eyes "look.. i said you don't have to give anything, i dont want to see you anymore too...so please... why don't you go back now to the resort".
his words were harsh and hurt her. she couldn't believe that Dante has so much change. he didn't want see her anymore. as she started to cry, she wiped it right away. "like i said yesterday...im sorry if i hurt you from before but if that's what you want, i will try not to bother you anymore".
Weeks later...
In Faith's office. She often feel hesitant to her work and some of the projects she hasn't approve it yet. She was way thinking too much of Dante. She wanted to see him badly but she knew that she can't anymore.
When Catherine, drop by to her office. Gladly she makes her comfortable, Catherine was always on her side. If she is down, Catherine who always been there for her. But as she remembered the letter and the days that she spent with Dante, she remembered that Dante was the one who protects her and always beside her when she needed his help. But not anymore.
"Faith!??! What's up? Are you listening to my story?", Catherine asked.
"Yeah... I'm listening", feeling trouble.
"I think your not listening... seems like I'm a bored to you...or rather you're thinking something else".
"No. That's not true. I always wanted you to be by my side... and i appreciate that-"
"Is it about Dante again? Why don't go and see him again to finish the story..." (okay, I'm the writer here... Catherine don't have to say it. LMAO)
"I told you, we are finish... he doesn't want me to see anymore."
"If that's true, why you haven't talked to him that time about your separation....", when Catherine said those words, something came up to her mind but still she was confuse.
"What do you mean separation? We are already separated along time ago."
"No... what I mean is that, you and him are still married. You've never separate legally. He is still your husband after all and you are his wife".
Few days later, while being busy to her work, she still thinks about what Catherine said last time. But because she want her pride back, she rather wait for Dante to come and see her. She was trying herself not to come back and see him. She was afraid to get hurt again with his words.
She is focus to her work only. She was back on the line, calling herself again as a 'workaholic'. One day she received a call from her big clients. Their next issue is about car business. Ralph's brother Rafael is on their next interview with their next issue of the magazine. So she got no choice but to go back and visit again Pangasinan City to meet Ralph's brother.
She brought the papers from her work and other stuff. She brought the annulment papers also for Dante. Due to her rush appointment, Catherine can't go with her because she was busy with some editorial stuff. So she traveled alone to go there.
However, because of her appointment she didn't have time to check out her car. So she end up in the middle of road waiting for someone that she could hitch.
