Chapter 7
Aaliyah's Pov
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.

Daniel's Pov
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.

Nik Pov
'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.
