"Next time, be careful usually on doing chores, you see what happened today,"
Lexia's POV
I was about to wash the dishes but suddenly I got cut by the knife, I was shocked and that's the reason I know what it's causing
"What happened?" He went to my place in a panic and saw that one of my fingernails was bleeding
I just shook my head in no time
He took the first aid kit and cleaned his wound first, then applied betadine, after that he took a band aid
"Who told you that's it? Don't wash dishes again" he scolded
I was just silent and stunned
"Sorry, but next time be careful, ok? You'll kill me with fear"
"Yeah, it's ok, I'm going to take a shower" I said
I went straight to his room and prepared my clothes, I came out from the cr already dressed, I saw him sitting on the bed
"You're done?" He asked me
"Not yet, I'll just fix it with my gear before we go" I said
"Wait, I'll see you outside."
"Alright"
He went out and you can still see the worried look in his eyes, I also went out after getting my things, I said goodbye to them aunty so I can go to work
"Still worried?" I said as I got into the car
"Who wouldn't worry once you're hurt? Am I not?"
"I'm sorry, hon," I said
"There's nothing left to lose, you know it already, I said keep safe but don't abuse it just because I let you" he said to me
"Okay, I'm not going to work today"
"Where are you going?"
"In your heart my mister" I said
He was holding back the excitement
"Mister maybe"
"Lexiana! Stop it! it's not working"
"Isn't it working? Well, if you look at your face, it looks like you're thrilled"
"Assuming"
"Ok, come with me to Manila now"
"What will you do there?"
"I only have documents to process"
"What documents?"
"Visa? I want us to be the only ones who will go to a country and migrate there"
"Wherever?"
"In Spain"
"Them dad?"
"Why not?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes hon"
"Okay I'll come with you"
"Thank you"
We traveled and just stopped over to eat at a restaurant, we even went to Mcdo
"Hon, you remember when we were in college, we used to go to Mcdo" he said
"Apparently yes, you're right, we always had Mcdo before, it's a shame because the ones we can keep up with now have their own lives"
"That's why, like Celestina, she and Nile have grown up a lot, then Alera is a director, and this James is also an actor, everything is really different, you see Aveline and Ridgen now they are the fun they are now the manager of a famous bank today, no doubt" he said
"That's right, I'm impressed by all of them, you see Nile, instead of becoming a priest he won't be able to continue just because of Celestina, you see the cruel fate of them but they overcame it"
"You said, let's eat, we still have a long way to go," I said
"That's why, let's take out the snacks so we can eat on the way" he said
"Alright"
We ordered food and left the restaurant, he smiled and I smiled too
After some time, we are here in Manila
We passed the Manila Cathedral, we looked at each other and he turned the car on his own, now we walked towards the church hand in hand, we sat in the front, we were really serious in our silence
Lord, I know that you have given him to me, thank you and give him to me, give him a reward for what he has done such as not letting me go, thank you for all the blessings you have given to us, even then I was asking you to fulfill him, thank you very much Lord, I know that I made many mistakes but you never doubted that you would help me, in the end Lord you still didn't help me. Amen
We looked at each other and he hugged me
"We've come a long way; the wedding is next month"
"That's why"
"Thank you, Lexiana, for everything"
"Eternal gratitude, if you didn't put up with everything and our parents hadn't thought about the arrange marriage, we'd be the ones who wouldn't agree, because of them we'd go back to the way it was before, they were right, you're my home in every way"
"Don't worry because I won't leave you and give up forever, I love you and there will never be any complete dissatisfaction again, even if we are in front of God here, I promise that until the end you will be the same and no one else will ever replace you my love"
I hugged him
"It's true that you didn't miss everything, because of you everything is fine, thank you and you kept your promise"
"A promise is a promise"
"Right"
"Come on" I said
We now head to immigration to access the things we need for migration to Spain; we want to live there because we know we will be away from any regulation we have.
After we asked, we headed to Binondo Bridge to get some fresh air
"Is that Aveline and Ridgen?" I pointed to our friends who were walking
He looked at who I was teaching and confirmed
"Well yes" he said "What are they doing here? I thought they were in Vigan?"
"Maybe they're just on vacation"
"Maybe" he said with a smile
When Aveline and Ridgen approached us, we asked them
"How are you? You're here" I said
"Well, we're fine, we're just here to go for a walk, how is it boring in our places"
"Very heavy" I said
"We are not burdened, the burden is Celestina and Nile, look at them they own so many businesses"
"That's why"
"Oh, let's go first, we have to check in at Celestina's hotel, be careful" said Aveline
"Bye pows" Bryle and I said
