Ash Ron POV
I was doing the house chores for my last client for today, which is Mr. and Mrs Hermosa. Located in the village where the Copper's Family live in. A block away, so I decided to walked and enjoy the view and exhale my stress right now. I was walking peacefully as I enjoy the view and greeted by other people who passed by near me. When my phone at the packet of my pants suddenly vibrate. I stop from walking and grab my phone and looked on my phone screen I saw a text from El. For that reason, I can't help but to smile, and I unlocked my phone screen and replied to her message.
From : El
Hey, will you come here? If you're not at work right now also bring me some coffee, please.
• 9:10 SMS.
I type my replied and sent it. As I sit down on a bench in a park near the apartment where I am staying with Simon and Felix.
Sure, I also bring something for you.
• 9:15 SM
I replied as I sent it and put my phone inside my pocket and run towards the apartment.
I saw Simon eating junk foods with Demon while Felix is putting a wine in the 3 shot cups in the table. They all turned their head towards me. Felix stopped from what is he doing and approach me as he grab my hand asking me to join them tonight. But I declined because I'm too tired to entertain by them and I better write a letter secretly for El.
I shake my head as a response and said.
" I'm tired, guys. Maybe next time! " I uttered and walked towards my room upstairs.
" You're such a kill joy. " Simon said as he stands up and went to the kitchen area.
While Demon is closing his eyes as the alcohol tolerance accompany him. I also saw Felix who is busy talking on his phone as he kept on entertaining his fiancée in the other line. But I didn't mind their presence because I'm too tired to entertain or talk to them.
When I entered my room. I grab my notebook who is in under my bed so no one can be seeing it. A lot of bond papers and white envelopes I brought since the day one I start to write a letter for my love. I make sure to lock the door of my room so no one know. I'm already wearing my pajama's on. And I decided to write a letter that I will give to El tomorrow morning before I went to do my service.
Dear : El
I have waited in vain for your much desired answer. Your failure to reply tortures me so that it brings sleepless nights and uncertain days for me. I promised that I would be guided along the path of truth. I promised that I shall try my best to take you in my arms in all tenderness along the road of life. The darkness of the way will be lighted by the light that is your love.
But up to the present you have not revealed to me that light. Is it because you love to see me in agony? Is that the truth? What heart can sustain the pain from your continued denial? Can you reply if you love me back? What love can shoulder without complaint the in creasing weight of your silence? Do you doubt my love for you?
Please tell me the truth, for then I would be forced to suppress in silence this love that has the courage to express itself to you. Tell me that I am not of your life's level, for then and there I shall cease troubling you.
Your singular would not, in the least, look down to listen to my heart's pleadings. Yet, it took courage to let you know of my love. And in payment for my bravery, I have received your coldness and indifference. Is this the punishment for a loving heart that cannot help letting you know its feelings?
El please, when shall your tortures end? Is it not enough that I have sworn to you my efforts and desires to make you happy through thick and thin? Heap upon you all the happiness I can get for you, altho I am but a poor man? Please think it over. But one thing I ask of you; that you will listen carefully to the dictates of your heart. Iloveyou and it will always be you.
GoodMorning! Don't stress too much, my queen.
Ever Truly Yours,
Your Neighborhood A.R.M
I can't help but to smiled as I read the letter I write and kiss it. I folded the letter and put it inside the white envelope and handed this to the guard in El's Company before I went to my work. I looked at the time, and it's still 6 : 52 in the evening. I open my Facebook and chat my siblings. After a couple of minutes , Jamaica, my 3rd siblings in the family. The only have cellphone just to keep on communicating me replied.
Jamaica Mendoza • Active
Hi kuyah! How are you?
She replied, I didn't hesitate to type and press the video call button to talk to them. Because it's been a couple of months since I was so busy on working so hard just to be able sent to them my money, so they can go to school as they learn to be independent without me by their side.
I saw Jamaica, Miles, Christian, and Adrian on the screen. I can't help but to be in tears because of the loneliness that felt towards my family who is away from me. I miss the way miles give me kisses every time I enter the house. How Adrian my youngest brother run towards me and hug me tight and Christian who always grab my bag and cook a dinner for us every time I went home from work. My loveable family, I miss them all.
" Kuyah! I miss you." Mile's said as she pouted her lips towards the phone and looked at me with her soft eyes.
" When will you come back, kuya? I won't be a bad boy , please go home now. " Adrian said with his teary eyes, and he covered his face using his cute little hands.
" I cant go home baby boy. " I replied as I looked down on the floor.
" Why kuya? " Miles said as he stare at the screen.
" Yes Miles , I'm here in Australia working so I can sustain you guys. " I replied and smiled at her.
" Take care there kuya , We miss you so much. " This time Christian said as he tapped Adrian's head .
" We got to go kuya. We will sleep now , we still have a class tomorrow and I will drop them off tomorrow before I went to the university. " Christan said as he drag miles and Adrian using his hands and entered the room as I nodded and end up the call.
I looked at my phone screen and go to my Instagram app. I log in my account and stalk my mon amour. I can't help to love her even more by looking at her pictures on her Instagram posts. It shows how perfect she looked like and she is like a living goddess that I won't get tired of praising or worshipping her . I can't imagine that my heart skip a beat when the night I first time saw her being broken. She is a precious gem that someone just throw away.
I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes while hold my pen tightly . I'm afraid of confessing my feelings personally in short I'm a coward person. I'm afraid that I might got rejected and broken just like my previous confession back when I'm highschool student. Since that moment , I learn to keep my feelings hidden and no one knows about it if I won't personally or through a letter to confessed it. Maybe because I keep overthink that I might end up being broken and rejected and I feel so hopeless and clueless when it comes on the word : Love.
I heared a knock on the door. I stop from writing and stand up and open it. I saw Demon with a plate on his right hand while there is a glass of water on his left hand. He handed it to me and said .
" Don't forget to eat your dinner bro. " He said as he walked away after .
I walked towards my study table and put the plate and the glass in there and sit in the chair before as I eat it peacefully.
I'm too focus on reading a book when I didn't notice the time. It's already passed midnight and I'm still reading it. I yawn because of sleepless and I put a bookmark in my book and jump on the bed as I fall asleep.
When the morning comes , I got only 5 hours sleep and too tired to go to my work for today. I get up from bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up and get dressed.
I went out in my room with the white envelope that I'm hiding in my pant's pocket. I smell a lavender perfume in the area. Iooked around and saw only Felix who is busying fixing his hair as he faced on the wall mirror beside the small bar counter in the house.
" We're are you going Felix? " I asked as I walked pass him.
" To Kelly's House , I'll help on making the wedding cards invitations. " He simply replied and walked out .
I didn't mind it and continue to walk towards the kitchen and saw Simon who is busy on cooking a breakfast for us. I call Felix again , he looked back and give me a whats-the-matter look .
" Let's eat breakfast first! " I shouted.
" No thanks , I'll eat in Kelly's House. " He replied as he waved his hand a sign of declining my offer as he entered his car and drive off.
" How's your sleep brother? " Demon greet me as he entered the kitchen topless and have a just-wake-up-look.
" Not fine but at least I sleep for 5 hours. " I answered and slice the butter and put it above the slice bread and give it a bite.
Demon didn't response on me and sit down beside my chair and make his own bread with butter on it. While Simon is still busying on cooking the breakfast as he focusing on doing it on his own without asking for a help.
When Simon turn toward our direction , he handed to us a cup of coffee and said.
" Here , I made this for you guys. " I said.
" So sweet brother. " Demon replied.
" Damn you! " Simon said and grab a strawberry in the basket that will be found in the center table in the kitchen and eat it in silence.
" Why don't you find a girlfriend and proposed already! Your too old to be single Simon! " Demon said with a teasing tune.
" No way , why would I? Just pure chicks and flirting things . No more that that! " Simon said defensively as he's hands become
" Chill bro. I'm just joking! " Demon said as he pat Simon's shoulder.
" Still shortempered. " I commented and take a the last bite on my bread and stand up from sitting.
" Are you going now? " Simon asked me before I could manage to take a step and walk away.
" To work. " I replied.
" Really? Just work? " Demon asked me.
I looked back at them and raise my eyebrows.
" Yes. " I answered.
" Okay as you said so. " They both shouted in unison as I walked away.
I smiled because of it and whispered into the air as said.
" Stupid jerks! " I said as I walk towards the village where Mrs and Mr Hermosa and Copper is living.
---
Before I went to next village . I drop by in the Acosta Group of Company to handed my letter to a friend of mine. She will be the one who will give this letter to El afterwards.
I enter building and look around. I was looking for her . I saw a girl who wear a black blazer and underneath it is a white lace dress and she waved her hand and run towards my direction. I saw the other employees stared at me and start to gossip an issue about this.
When she arrived on the place where I was she hug me tight and said.
" I miss you Ron Ron! " She exclaimedly said as she kissed my cheeks.
" How are you? " She asked me as her eyes is busy checking the papers that she is holding.
" I'm doing fine , how are you? " I answered.
" So.... What's bring you here? " She asked me as she looked away.
" Can you handed me the letter. " I whispered into her ears and put the letter on her hands.
" S-sure RonRon! " She replied and put the letter in the middle of the papers that she is holding.
" Thanks! I owe you a lot. " I replied and cherish her cheeks as her cheeks turn red.
" What's wrong are you okay? " I asked worriedly.
" Y-yep , hehe I'm fine! Got to go ~ " She said and run away from me without saying goodbye .
I gaze at her as she entered the elevator and looked down on the floor as the elevator closed it door . I can't help but to get bother on her action , maybe she is too tired or she have a problem on her own. After that I exited the building and walk towards the village where I work in.
Today is another day , I hope my anxiety of losing someone in my system will vanished and replace with such happiness and love someday. I'll go to work just like the first day , and keep reminding me my motivation to keep on going daily despite of the challenges and circumstances of my life that I've face.
