BRYAN’S POV
Its hard to accept that even though I am the one Alex’s like but it still not enough for her to choose me. I don’t know if I made the right decision, but I need to take a risk.
Adelle is a childhood friend. She doesn’t know how to fix herself that why everyone sees her as an ugly duckling.
At an early young age she needs to wear a glasses because she got an eye problem due to reading much books. She has a geeky side. But she still know how to have fun.
But something rather someone hurt her that triggers her to leave the country. She was badly hurt even though it seems so shallow because its just a puppy love.
It had a great impact on her because we were just in elementary when she experience bullying and heartbreak.
Before she left the country I promise her that if she came back here and still she doesn’t have a boyfriend, I will just marry her. I told her that for her to gain confidence.
But years had passed and she has changed. She became so beautiful and I am sure that no one can resist her charm. But I am the only the exemption because I already have Alex in my heart, though I still have to win her heart.
She is getting married next month and I will be there as a best man.
I told her everything about me and Alex and she gave me an idea on how to shake Alex.
Everything that happened in Mindoro was all in the plan. From acting cold towards her to Delle’s arrival.
When I saw her sad eyes, I really wanted to get her and hug her to comfort her but I need to be firm. She needs to fight for me.
No one knows the plan except me and Delle. We don’t want this plan to be found out.
Week has passed, me and Delle needs to go to the States for her wedding. I also did not tell them the reason why I was going to join Delle in the States. That’s why I can’t blame Liz for being angry with me and for Gian punching me. One day I’ll make him pay for that punch.
It may take me a while to return to the Philippines because apart from Delle’s wedding, I also have businesses that need to be taken care of in Korea.
That’s why I went to Alex’s office. I can’t help it anymore, I only need to see her face before I left. But then I hope I did not go. Because I saw Alex and Nic hug each other, it seems like he was Alex’s knight and shinning armor. I know that Nic has a special feeling for Alex, I am also a man and I am not dumb.
The next day I was at the airport, Gian and I were okay. But he told me that I will not regret my decision. I just smile at him and told him to trust me.
After a year ….
I am almost done with my work here in Korea and finally next week I can go home to the Philippines. I miss Philippines and of course I miss Alex.
I just woke up when our maid gave me an invitation. I rolled my eyes to see what was on the invitation. Its a wedding invitation, Nic and Alex’s wedding invitation. And that wedding is today!
I quickly got up and went to the bedroom to retrieve my wallet and car key. I immediately called our staff to get our private plane ready. I still have 5 hours I can still make it.
After 3hours I was at the airport I quickly got into a taxi.
“When we get to that place in an hour I will double what I will pay you or even triple.”
The driver immediately drove the taxi. Batangas is the venue of the wedding, beach wedding. Fortunately, this driver I got was good, he knows a lot of short cuts.
And in just 1 hour I saw that the wedding was starting. I was about to stop the wedding when I stopped to see Alex walking. Beautiful is an understatement in her appearance today. She looks the Goddess of this place. She just wore a simple white dress and no veil. So you can clearly see her beautiful face.
I also saw the very lucky groom. I could see the sparkle and joy in his eyes.
I should be in his place. Alex was approaching the groom, as if a needle had pierced my heart.
I frowned as Alex passed the groom and sat on the side with the bridesmaids.
Suddenly there was a tap on my shoulder. And when I looked at that person and I saw Gian smirking at me.
“I thought–” he didn’t let me finish.
“That’s our way to make you come back.” Gian said.
“What do you mean?”
“The day you left, that was the day Alex and Nic canceled their wedding.”
My eyes widened. “WHAT ?! why did you just say that now?”
He shrugged. “Alex told us that you two need a break. So just let it go first. And we also found out from Delle your plan.”
“How is she?” I asked.
“She’s doing great. But she is losing hope that you will come back, she is thinking to just move on-”
“What? And you did not tell me all these things?”
“That’s what you have to pay from planning a scheme alone. But since I’m your friend I didn’t let that happen so I gave you an invitation. For you to go here in no time.” He grin.
I do not know if I will be grateful or not with this friend of mine.
I looked at Alex I could see that she was happy but there was still sadness in her eyes.
I waited for the wedding to end before I approached her.
I saw Alex alone who seemed to be deep in thought.
“Miss me?” I told her.
She turned to me to see who I was.
I saw her eyes widen in shock. She also recovered immediately. She smiled and I was shocked when she ran to me and hugged me.
“Bry you’re back!” I feel hot liquid dripping down my shoulder.
“Shhh” I tapped her head. “Stop crying, I am here already.”
She nodded but continued to cry.
We walk while holding hands. Catching things up.
We stopped as I face her to me.
I knelt down and grabbed a box. Yes even though I was in a hurry earlier I did not forget it. When I thought it was true that they were getting married I’m planning to stop the wedding and propose to her.
Nothing has changed in my plan.
“I love you baby girl. I want to you to be my wife. Will you marry me?” I asked her.
I can she how shocked she is. She covered his mouth with both hands. And then tears again came down from her eyes.
“Yes grandpa.” She said while crying.
I hug her immediately and put the ring on her finger. And then kiss her.
Then we heard people cheering for us. We looked around and saw the wedding guests and even the newly wed. I also saw Alex’s parents smiling.
We approached them. Alex introduced me to his parents.
“Take care of my daughter” said her daddy I can see her parents teary eyes.
“Yes Dad.”
